It depends on how bad they would like to have you. Your years of experience.

I would guess that as an indian you are on the max salary. Keep in mind that the higher basic salary you can negotiate before coming out there will be best if you plan to move up grades in the future.

My husband has just recently take a job in Qatar and we were more than dissappointed with the salary. Having said that because they wanted him so badly he was able to negotiate an increase. And with moving up in grades (which he will most certainly do) his increases will be based on percentage from his basic pay.

Now if I could possibly negotiate airline tickets to America rather than England than we would be good to go.
