Frequently Asked Questions
A cheque bounce happens when a cheque presented for payment is returned unpaid by the bank due to reasons such as insufficient funds, signature mismatch, or a closed account.
First, you must get the return memo from the bank. Then you send a legal demand notice to the drawer within 30 days, asking them to pay within 15 days. If they don’t pay, you can file a complaint.
Cheque bounce cases are governed by Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which considers dishonouring a cheque for debt or liability a criminal offence.
If convicted, the drawer may face imprisonment up to two years, a fine up to twice the cheque amount, or both. The court decides based on the circumstances of the case.
A lawyer ensures all legal procedures are correctly followed, prepares documents accurately, represents the client in court, and increases the chances of recovering the cheque amount efficiently.
