Frequently Asked Questions

A cheque bounce, also known as cheque dishonour, occurs when a cheque presented for payment is returned by the bank unpaid. In Allahabad/Prayagraj, as per the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, this is considered a serious offense, particularly if due to insufficient funds.

It’s both! In Allahabad/Prayagraj, a cheque bounce due to insufficient funds is primarily a criminal offense under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, carrying penalties like imprisonment and fines. Additionally, you can pursue a civil suit for the recovery of the cheque amount.

As the payee, you should first receive a ‘cheque return memo’ from the bank. Within 30 days of this, you must send a legal notice to the drawer demanding payment.
