Suppose if some amount is recoverable from a debtor quite for a long time and is overdue, then the creditor performs some action against its debtor. this is known as actionable claims.
Hence no ST is leviable on actionable claims.

I am also having same doubt whether this is only considered as actionable claim
Even if it is this whether the ST point on creditor/debtor point or who is taking action on behalf like if lawyer send notice for that creditor pays to lawyer this is considered as actionable claim
