Pending salary and cheque bounce


14-May-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
Hi, Here are the case details. - Started working with a company in Bengaluru on 2nd November 2016 - Company did not pay salary till April 2017 - After legal action warning, company's MD provided 3 post dated cheques towards pending salary to be submitted till 30 June 2017 - 1st cheque dated 30th April 2017 was dishonored due to insufficient fund - Now company's directors have stopped answering calls and emails = Need to understand strategy for legal action and its implications. = How can it be resolved quickly? = Company directors are not too concerned about legal action as they said that already 2-3 cases are there, 1 more will not make a difference and anyways they will not be arrested for non-payment of salary (this is before giving me post-dated cheques)

It makes a difference, provided you are ready to take necessary steps. Many young people simply suffer the atrocities of employers. You should teach them a lesson and see that their company is closed.

As the payment of salary constitutes legal dues, you can always proceed with filing cheque bounce complaint against company.
The law is same as regards to any individual or company.
If the company chose not to represent in court non bails blend warrant will be issued.
Even after losing the company does not pay the dues then we can seek for arrest of directors, attachment of properties of company and other remdies available in law.

The cheques are dated till July , and even for the first cheque you have time to represent till July and whichever cheques remain unpaid you can file a single case, and you will lose cause of action if you do not file a case following issuance of a statutory notice. By far the case under sec 138 is the quickest remedy for recovery.
