Cheque Bounce Cases

A cheque bounce case arises when a cheque is dishonored due to insufficient funds, mismatched signatures, or other banking issues.

Legal Process for Cheque Bounce Cases

1. Issuing a Legal Notice

The payee must send a legal notice to the issuer within 30 days of cheque dishonor.
The issuer is given 15 days to make the payment after receiving the notice.
If the payment is not made, a legal complaint can be filed in court.

2. Filing a Complaint in Court

If the issuer fails to pay within the stipulated time, the payee can file a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
The case is presented before the magistrate, and necessary evidence is submitted.

3. Court Proceedings & Punishment

The accused (issuer of the cheque) may face penalties, imprisonment (up to 2 years), or both if found guilty.
The court may order the issuer to compensate the payee with additional penalties.
