Dear Jagjit,
IN BOTH CASES , Your Wife has burden of proof.
If she is not earning, you are liable to py her.. Burden shift to you to prove that she earn.

Well the problem is the wife need not prove anything.
Her mere allegation of not earning anything is sufficient for her maintenance at least in interim stage since it is socially beneficial legislation.
It is you who will have to disprove her allegations.

Agree with the expert Devajyoti Barman ji, you have to prove that she is earning.

If you want to avoid paying her maintenance, it is you who have to prove that she is not eligible for maintenance.
