Handling Cheque Bounce with Legal Precision
A cheque bounce or dishonor is a stressful situation for both businesses and individuals, often leading to financial losses and legal disputes. Under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, issuing a bounced cheque is a punishable offense, and the affected party is entitled to recover the amount through legal means. The first step in this process is issuing a cheque bounce notice to the defaulter.
Legals365 offers comprehensive cheque bounce notice services to help clients take swift and effective action. From drafting legally sound notices to filing cases, we provide end-to-end support, ensuring your interests are protected.
A cheque bounce notice is a formal legal communication sent to the issuer of a dishonored cheque, notifying them of the failed transaction and demanding payment. This notice serves as a mandatory step before initiating legal proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
A cheque can bounce due to various reasons, including:
At Legals365, our legal experts carefully draft cheque bounce notices that comply with the Negotiable Instruments Act. A well-drafted notice ensures your case stands strong if legal proceedings are required.
Issuing the notice within the legal time frame is crucial. Legals365 ensures that notices are delivered promptly, with accurate records of delivery to strengthen your case if needed in court.
If the defaulter fails to respond or make payment, our team will guide you on the next steps, which may include filing a legal complaint in court to recover the dues.
The affected party must send a notice within 30 days of the cheque being dishonored. The issuer is given 15 days to make the payment.
If the issuer fails to pay, the next step is filing a criminal complaint in the appropriate court under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.
The court may issue penalties or imprisonment if the issuer is found guilty. The plaintiff can also claim compensation for legal expenses and losses.
