To recover your money the limitation period is of 3 years. But for example if she said you again in 2015 that she will repay you soon then the fresh period of limitation will start from then i.e. from the date of acknowledgement of debt by her and you will be able to file a civil suit or criminal complaint to recover your money. You can approach the local police station also and file a complaint of criminal breach of trust or you can file a recovery suit. In your situation local police will help you to recover your money in quick way and your maid will also get more pressurized. kindly book a consultancy call for more detailed advice and clarification.
