You can file 498A even now without waiting further, however, you would need to show that harrassment is still continuing or he still holds your stridhan etc. You should also file petition for domestic violence alongside which would be more effective than 498A

Hello, you can file 498a anytime but there should be some valid reasons for the delay , secondly have you filled any GD, that because of mental truma you were separated? Domestic violence, maintenance (s125) all are applicable at the same time. Please feel free to call anytime.
