Dear Prakash,
Assessment of damages to compensate the claimants is beset with difficulties: You please refer to the case of "General Manager,Kerela State Transport Corporation,Travindrum Vs Susamma Thomas (Mrs) And Others: 1993-(004)-SCALE-0643-SC.
CORAM:G.N.Ray and M.N.Venkatachaliah.I am sure this case will meet all your requirements in the case.

Now it is settled law where the prove of the income is not available, in such cases the notional income would be presumed 36000/-pa (3000/- pm).

Dear friend,
In your case, the income of the wife may not matter, however, she may claim for her husband's income before MACT. If he was working for Rs. 3500 p.m., then someone must have saw him working, and at some point of time, someone might have seen about him taking money from his employer. There might be someone whom he might have told at some point of time, that what his income is, i.e. Rs. 3500 p.m. The same may be taken as oral evidence, and his income as rs. 3500 may be shown before court.
Don't be panic, his wife may definitely get relief. Also claim u/s 140 of MV Act for getting an interim maintenance of Rs. 50,000.
