Time limit is 45 days from the date of sending of legal notice. 15 days for reply of legal notice and further 30 days for filling of case.
Yes it can be admitted even after expiry of period of limitation. There is procedure for that.

It can be maintainable as it is the late of only one day, for which u will have to file a petition of condonation of delay in the court as per section -142(b) of N.I.Act . And make it concern that during the evidence stage of ur case proceeding, please mention the cause of delay ,so that it would be in favour of u at the time of cognizance of the case...
Hope u understood my suggestion ...

No it is not maintainable because there is time stipulation given in the act and in law time limitation is very important factor however you can file a petition as provided in the act and request the court to candone the delay

According to NI Act, simply it is not maintainble, But if you satisfies the court that you had sufficient cause for not making a complaint within stipulated period , delay in filing the complaint may be condoned by the court ,then it be maintainble.
