Frequently Asked Questions
A cheque bounce happens when a cheque is presented to the bank for payment but is returned unpaid, commonly due to insufficient funds or other issues. Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, this dishonour can lead to criminal liability if certain legal conditions are met.
First, you must obtain the bank’s return memo confirming the cheque was dishonoured. Then, send a written demand notice to the drawer within 30 days of receiving that memo. If the drawer does not pay within 15 days of the notice, you can initiate a legal complaint under the Act.
If convicted, the drawer may face imprisonment of up to 2 years, or a fine of up to twice the amount of the cheque, or both. The law also presumes, unless disproved, that the cheque was issued to settle a bona fide debt or liability.
Yes. It is possible to reach a compromise with the payee, and if a valid settlement is made, conviction may be avoided. Lawyers often negotiate such settlements to protect the drawer from jail or higher penalties.
Choose a lawyer with experience specifically in Section 138 NI Act cases. Look for someone who understands both the criminal and civil recovery aspects of cheque bounce, communicates clearly about legal risks and timelines, and has a track record of successful negotiations and court representations.
