There is no time limit for filing complaint under DV Act.
As long as any of the instances of DV is happening it can be filed at any point of time, even for the incident happened prior of coming into this Act.

Yes, agree with Barman.But this timeless for initiating complaint is too much.

No time limit.
However Inderjit Singh Gujral judgment stated it to be within ONE YEAR from the date of last incident.

There is no time limit and even this Act is applicable retrospectively so even past incidents can also be taken under this act.
