Chapter 36 – Limitation For Taking Cognizance Of Certain Offences

Section 467 – Definitions

Section 468 – Bar to taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation

Section 470 – Exclusion of time in certain cases

Your query is vague and subjective as you mean fraudulantly under section 25 Indian Penal Code 1860 or section 420 IPC, 1860 ?
You are required to find out applicability of provision for fraud case(s) and let others may also take benefit of your research.
