Cheque Bounce Notice & Case
Statutory notice under Section 138 of the NI Act, then a complaint if unpaid.
If a cheque is dishonoured for insufficient funds, a written demand notice must be sent within 30 days of receiving the bank's return memo. The drawer then has 15 days to pay. If they do not, a criminal complaint can be filed within one month after that period. Missing these deadlines can defeat the case, so act quickly.
