upon return of cheque being unpaid, you need to issue a legal notice within 30 days from the date of cheque bounce demanding the payment of cheque amount and thereafter the issuer has an opportunity to pay the amount within 15 days from the date of receipt of legal notice. If he does not make the payment within 15 days you can file a complaint before a competent Court. The maximum punishment is imprisonment up to two years or/and a penalty up to Rs. 10,000/- or both and compensation two times the cheque amount.
