Personal loan to reduce interim maintenance

I am likely to be sufferer of DV/498A in soon(may be in 2-3 months). I have been working in IT industry and  I don't have any need to take any personal loan at the moment. Just to avoid the maintenance/keep very low maintenance, I would like to take personal loan.I request you to please clarify the below two queries.
When my wife files maintenance case, do I need to show any proof to court that for what purpose I took the loan?
Do I have to show any receipts of money spent?
Note: My wife is not working. She just studied 12th standard only.

Dear Mr krish, For working out maintenance the topmost condition is your wife should be facilated to the have same standard of living as she used to when she lived with you. Your gross salary subject to minimum statuary deductions only will be considered. Your plan will not help you. Regards Sathyanarayanan

Thanks Satyanarayanan sir!!

@Renuka ji,

I am not oversmart. I just want to hit back in the same way how illegitimate people are trying to grab money from like me innocent people. I can't write all what happened to me in this forum.

Before becoming the vicitim of these biased laws,  I want to save me and my family with the  help of this kind of forums.

No other intention and don't want to hurt anyone and don't want to commit any kind of illegal things. I am just trying to be cautious in advance.

Thank you for the reply!!

Yes, your plan will work. 

No need to show expenditure receipts. 

There are number of ways to reduce or deny maintenance. 

Don't worry !!

Thans a ton Sidharth Sir. Really your words fill some confidence in me.

I am from Andhra pradesh and mine is poor family back ground and recently joined in IT industry(In chennai), getting only 35000 Rs/- a month. Apart from that, no other assets and no other sources of income. My parents are completely depend upon me for thier survival. They live seperately in my village.

If I loose some amount in the name of maintenace to unscrupulous wife,  I  can't send any money to my parents.They will suffer lot.

Thans again Sir!!

Personal loan taken right before the intitiation of the proceedings shall make the court even more suspicious of what you tried to do and hence will make the court come down even heavily upon you . If you tell me your wife's educational and professional qualifications , I can help You with certain judgements that shall ensure that her monetary claims are substantial tidally reduced / dismissed

Dear Krish,

You are also advised to maintain medical expenditure evidence/ details of your parents. 

Krish   06 February 2016

Thank you for the reply Augustine Sir and Sidharth Sir!!

 

@ Augustine Sir,

My wife has just studied 12th standard only and she is house wife. She never worked. Also, Our way of life style is lower middle class.

 

@Sidharth Sir,

My parents feel sick every now and then but they are not severe health issues. So I think I can not show any medical expenditure documents.

i filed divorce and a big sec24hma awarded against me (in favor of my wife). i took lot of personal loan to pay the amount and my travel & living expenses to the court for every hearing. i am paying because my wife misused the laws. i will come out of 498a and DV in near future and then i will get a chance to file criminal cases on her and paretns & relatives and recover the same money.
