Leaks/ObjectAlloc etc shows maximum of 1MB memory leak in my app whereas Activity monitor shows memory increase by few 10s of MBs. What could be going wrong here? Is it possible that Activity monitor is showing memory increase even when there is no memory leak? could Activity monitor's memory increase be just because of fragmentation?

A leak is RAM that can't be reclaimed. Not at all the same as memory usage. And fragmentation is pretty meaningless with the virtual memory system.

You should probably be using Instruments to look at this, probably Object Allocations template.
