If the husband denies paying arrears, the court can enforce payment through asset attachment, salary deduction, or even imprisonment. Since he lacks receipts for cash payments, the court may not consider his claim. He should gather any indirect proof or negotiate a settlement. Legal assistance is recommended.

If the husband fails to pay the arrears of maintenance as directed by the court, he may face legal consequences including issuance of a warrant, attachment of property, or even imprisonment under Section 125(3) CrPC. If payments were made in cash without receipts, it becomes difficult to prove. The husband should gather any indirect evidence (witnesses, bank withdrawals, etc.) and file an application in court to explain his side. Denying arrears without proof may result in adverse orders from the court.
