Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The proviso to Section 5(8) requires an application to levy arrears within three months after the amount became due. It does not require the Tribunal to issue its warrant within those same three months. A timely recovery application is not defeated merely because the warrant is issued later.
