Frequently Asked Questions
A cheque bounce occurs when a cheque deposited for payment is returned unpaid by the bank. This might be due to insufficient funds, a closed account, or other valid reasons. In such cases, the payee can pursue a legal claim.
The payee must send a formal demand notice in writing to the person who issued the cheque. The notice should clearly mention the cheque details (number, date, amount) and demand payment of the bounced amount within a fixed number of days.
After the notice is served, the drawer generally has 15 days to make good on the payment. If they fail to pay in this timeframe, the payee may proceed to file a complaint in court.
If payment is not made within 15 days of receiving the notice, a criminal complaint can be filed. The payee typically has a limited window after the notice period expires to initiate legal proceedings in a magistrate’s court.
If the court rules in favor of the payee, it may order payment of the cheque amount along with legal costs. The drawer could face criminal penalties, including a fine, and in some cases, imprisonment, depending on the severity and the circumstances of the case.
