Application for recovery of maintenance arrears can not be made for a period of more than12 months arrears However maintenance holder can file civil suit for recovery of arrears of more than 12 months.

Well analysed, opined and advised by expert Mr. Bhartesh Goyal, I agree.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 30 May 2023
If the order was passed granting maintenance from the date of order, then the arrears pertaining to the past period i.e., retrospective period is very much valid, the petitioner can claim arrears of maintenance within one month from the date of orders.
