Proper charge (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

due

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'proper' is the first definition.
(what is due is what is proper or appropriate)

'charge' is the second definition.
(due is a kind of charge)

(Other definitions for due that I've seen before include "Appropriate - fee - now owing" , "Payable; deserved" , "Owed as a debt" , "Expected; proper" , "Proper, appropriate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
