What time limit does the proviso to section 5(8) of the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007 set for making an application to levy maintenance arrears, measured from when the amount became due?
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.
