Cheque bounced for 4.75 Lakhs in Pune which was given by Hajj Operator
07-Dec-2025 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I had booked Hajj travel for my parents with a private tour operator. Later, due to international restrictions on private Hajj travel that year, all travels were cancelled. The tour operator issued me a refund cheque, but the cheque has now bounced.
What legal remedies are available to me in this situation? Can I initiate action for cheque dishonour under relevant laws, and what supporting documents or evidence should I gather before proceeding?”
Yes, you may proceed with the cheque bounce case. The following documents will be required to initiate the process:
• Booking tickets
• Copy of Cheque
• Bank return memo
• Ticket cancellation intimation
• Details of the private tour operator
If any additional documents are needed, we will inform you accordingly. Please feel free to contact us for any further clarification or assistance.

Well, you need to send a Cheque Bouncing Notice under the concerned provisions of the NI Act, 1881. Once Notice will be delivered to the Issuer of the Cheque, if he still doesn't make the payment of the Bounced Cheque with or without Interest as demanded by the Drawee or claimant, then, the Drawee can file the Cheque Bouncing Case against the Drawer.

Hii...
cheque bounce case procedure involves the payee presenting the cheque, receiving a bank return memo, sending a legal notice (within 30 days) demanding payment, and if unpaid after 15 days, filing a criminal complaint under Section 138 of the NI Act before a Magistrate within 30 days, leading to court proceedings, evidence, and judgment for potential fine/imprisonment, with the payee also having options for civil recovery.
Thank you

Paste Version (ready to use):
In case the refund cheque issued by the tour operator has been dishonoured, you can initiate proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, as the cheque was issued towards a legally enforceable liability, i.e., refund of the cancelled Haj travel amount. A legal demand notice must be issued within 30 days from the date of receiving the bank return memo, and if payment is not made within 15 days thereafter, a criminal complaint can be filed. Apart from this, you may also file a civil suit for recovery of money or approach the Consumer Forum for deficiency in service. Before proceeding, you should collect documents such as booking receipts, proof of payment, cancellation intimation, copy of the cheque, bank return memo, and all correspondence regarding the refund.
