Dear Client,
Section 60(1)(i) of the Civil Procedure Code(CPC) states that salary to the extent of Rs. 1,000 and two-thirds of the rest can be attached in execution of decrees other than maintenance decrees. The proviso further clarifies that if such attachment persists continuously or intermittently for 24 months, that portion of salary becomes exempt from further attachment for a period of 12 months only in respect of the same decree. If the salary is attached in execution of different decrees, the 24-month exemption applies separately to each decree. Once the 24-month period in respect of a particular decree is over, the law prohibits further attachment of that specific portion of salary for that decree. However, depending on the terms and conditions of the trust deed, they can initiate the legal actions for attachment of said assets built from rest of the salary post-attachment up to statutory limit for recovery of their debts/dues for breach of any terms of the said trust deed or if you fail to repay the debts or the recovery falls short from the arrangements.
