She may ask in the lump sum amount on grounds of increased expenditure, health etc
If the present Rs.8000 is sufficient for her, inspite of her claim, court may not grant her anything in the lump sum amount.

@ Jyothi, Thanks for reply, Medical facility will be provided by company free of cost.and i will provide the shelter. After that Can she ask revised monthly maintenance or lump sum amount from my employer directly, please help me. Anil Sharma.

Dear Anil,
Nobody can say that your wife will not ask. What one can say is whether you will be able to defend such demands or not. That should be the real question.

In case your wife demands, you can always say that she is entitled to maintenance (shelter, food, clothing, medical etc. etc.) which you are already providing. You have to continue to provide. Any increased demand can be countered by saying that you are already retired and you are no more getting salary, therefore it will be difficult for you to provide anything more than what you are already paying.

Then it is for the judge to decide.

@ANIRUDH, Thanks for your reply, but what law says. can court ordered for lump sum amount deduct from my employer, even while i am contentiously giving her maintenance.

She may ask always in the lump sum. If the court feels that the monthly maintenance is not sufficient for her, it may award her out of lump sum. If such situation arises, try to prove that the present monthly maintenance is sufficient for her and you need lump sum amount for old age and retirement life.
