yes, she can claim maintenance in other forums available to her. i.e. Section 125 Cr.P.C. and Section 25 of Hindu Marriage Act etc.

Sir
The husband is planning to file case u/s 340 cr.p.c. What if she got fine / punishment u/s 340 cr.p.c. because of filing wrong affidavit of her job/income. She has filed that she is having no source of income and cant maintain herself. But the husband submitted the proof of her service with salary released by her own office.
Can she claim further maintenence in any way in future for HERSELF ??
