Frequently Asked Questions
A cheque bounce occurs when a cheque is presented to the bank for payment but is returned unpaid — for example, due to insufficient funds, signature mismatch, or account closure. That dishonour can lead to legal action under the Negotiable Instruments Act if certain conditions are met.
First, obtain the bank’s return memo which explains why the cheque was dishonoured. Then, send a written demand notice to the drawer within 30 days, asking them to pay the amount within 15 days. This sets the stage for legal proceedings if payment is not made.
If payment is not made within the 15-day period, you can file a criminal complaint under Section 138. Your lawyer will help you prepare and file this complaint before the right court, using the documentation collected (cheque, return memo, notice) to build your case.
If found guilty, the drawer may face up to 2 years of imprisonment, or a fine up to twice the cheque amount, or both. These penalties reflect the seriousness of dishonouring a cheque under the law.
Yes — a compromise with the payee may result in the case being resolved without jail. Lawyers often negotiate such settlements, which can lead to a withdrawal of the complaint or a reduced sentence if a legally binding agreement is reached.
