depends upon ur situation, it may be 25 lac to 50 lac. If u can hire efficient lawyers then good settlement else it is better to accept what he is paying.

u may file a complaint under domestic violence act and seek residence orders. the boy has a flat in india and you have a right to reside in that house. once you get the orders, the husband would be bound to settle for the amount that you deserve.
(a) The amount being offered by him is on a lower side.
(b) You may be justified if you make a demand to the tune of approximately one crore Indian rupees.
