1) never suppress material facts from court

2) you should not make any false statement on oath

3) Section 193. IPC Punishment for false evidence: Whoever intentionally gives false evidence in any stage of a judicial proceeding, or fabricates false evidence for the purpose of being used in any stage of a judicial proceeding, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine,

If you do not disclose then the onus to prove your salary will fall squarely on your wife. Unless there is a specific order by the court, whereby and whereunder you are told to disclose the salary, you are unbound to do it.

1. You have already disclosed your income before the Court based on which interim maintenance has already been ordered to be paid by you.

2. The Court has not asked you to furnish your income afresh.

3. You are not required to up date the Court periodically about your income.

4. Your wife can file a petition for enhancing her maintenance amount and at time if the Court asks you about your income, you should disclose the fact.

There is nothing wrong in not disclosing the new employment or the hike in your salary due to new employment.

If she is interested to get enhanced maintenance amount, she has to apply for it before court seeking enhancement considering your progress in your employment status by providing documentary evidences to prove her case.

You can simply sit tight until then.
