Frequently Asked Questions

Madhubani Cheque Bounce occurs when a cheque issued for payment is returned unpaid by the bank. This can happen due to insufficient funds, signature mismatch, or other reasons. Lawyers help clients understand whether the cheque qualifies under legal provisions and guide them on recovery options.

Lawyers collect the bank return memo, draft and send a demand notice to the issuer, and ensure all legal timelines are strictly followed. If the cheque amount is not paid within the notice period, they guide the client in filing legal proceedings to secure repayment.

Once a cheque bounces, lawyers prepare a formal notice demanding payment. This notice is served within 30 days of receiving the bank memo, giving the issuer 15 days to pay. If the payment is not made, lawyers proceed with filing a criminal complaint or civil case.

Under Section 138, a cheque issuer can face imprisonment for up to two years, pay a fine up to twice the cheque amount, or both. Lawyers assist in enforcing these legal consequences while also seeking repayment of the owed amount.

Yes, lawyers often file a civil suit simultaneously to recover the cheque amount, while pursuing criminal remedies under the law. This ensures stronger legal leverage and increases the chances of obtaining full repayment efficiently.
