We cannot presume about things to come. You should better prevent her from filing 498A case by trying to reach a compromise. As far as 125 CrPC goes, it is your duty to provide maintenance to your wife. Before an order is passed by the court, better you start sending her a reasonable amount - at least 25% of your salary - towards her maintenance.

Your father is not bound to maintain your wife. But you are obligated by law to maintain your wife. 1/3 rd of the salary is what the courts generally direct.
