What does effect of acknowledgment in writing means under the limitation Act 1908?

Under section 19 of the Act, An Acknowledgment in writing refers to written communication by debtor or defendant in which he recognizes an existing debt, liability, or obligation owed to the creditor or plaintiff. The acknowledgment must be in writing and signed by the person making the acknowledgment or their authorized representative. In this situation, the limitation period for filing a suit on that debt or liability starts as fresh from the date of the acknowledgment.
