Anticipated Cheque Bounce of 40 lakhs


24-Feb-2024 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
My friend gave me 40 lakhs rupees for trading on his behalf and we did a contract for it. The contract is done as him being a lender and me as borrower and we have showed the amount as loan taken. I gave him post dated cheque as security for the amount. Now I am unable to pay him the amount and he is saying that he will submit the cheque which for sure will be dis honoured. I have asked for some time and I will give the money in some instalments but he is not ready for it,can I be jailed for it

you may send a legal notice that the cheques were given for security purposes and he should not deposit the same in the bank. you also mention in the notice that the transaction amount was also given for trading purpose.
you may attach details of trading account

that might be your defense if he files coplaint against you

In these circumstances it is advisable for you to send him a legal notice through the counsel and seek some time and ask him not to tender the cheque for encashment. By doing this you will be secured.

Hello

First of all dont worry I will explain to you what will happen

when your friend will deposit the given cheque and due to insufficient balance if the cheque gets dishonour your friend can file a complaint against you and may institute a suit against you under section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act.


Now answering to you query that wheather you will go to jail immediately ?


The answer for it is you will not be arrested immediately as it is a non-cognizable offence and police cannot arrest you without the warrant from court


and for further information regarding the same you can contact us.
