Charges Levied by Banks in India
As stated earlier, when a cheque bounces, the banks charge a fee. Both the defaulter and the payee could be charged by their respective banks. This fee is generally an NSF fee i.e. when there are insufficient funds in the account and the bank decides to bounce the cheque. Not all banks charge the same amount, the fee varies from one bank to another. The amount of this fee depends upon the reasons and nature of cheque bounce and the kind of account. This charge may also attract GST.
