A.The reduction of salary can only be possible if you show fixed expenses which cannot be waived off. Deducing which you then derive the Net Disposable Income [on the basis of which] the maintenance amount in provided.
Such deductions are possible majorly on the following grounds

1. Medications of elderly parents
2. Medication on oneself
3. Fixed Household expenditures
4. Loans [if any]
5. Premiums to be paid on insurance policies etc

However, the above list is not exhaustive. They are just examples of how you can or your lawyer can reduce your income so that you have to pay less maintenance to the wife.

Thanks

A.“amount of MAINTENANCE/ALIMONY depends on various factors such as Living Standard, Financial Status, Properties held, assets, responsibilities, custody of children, expenses, loan, etc, therefore, without going through deeply with facts its really unfair to provide any assistance. a detailed personal discussion will enable me to answer this promptly"
if you are planning to take a home loan, the EMI will be treated as your liability and the Court may reduce the same from your income, but at the same time, while deciding ALIMONY, the said property will increase your assets.
a detailed discussion may fructify for you
