inactive date is irrelevent, what's important is "Maximum" of 20...

from chage(1) man page:

       With the -M option, the value of maxdays is the maximum number of days
       during  which  a password is valid.  When maxdays plus lastday is less
       than the current day, the user will be required to change her password
       before  being  able to use her account.  This occurance can be planned
       for in advance by use of the -W option, which provides the  user  with
       advance warning.

       ....

       The  -I option is used to set the number of days of inactivity after a
       password has expired before  the  account  is  locked.   The  inactive
       option is the number of days of inactivity. A value of 0 disables this
       feature.  A user whose account  is  locked  must  contact  the  system
       administrator before being able to use the system again.
