Hello Rubiya Bano, If you want to file or understand a cheque bounce case, it is governed by Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. In simple terms, a cheque bounce case can be filed when a cheque issued to you towards payment of a legally recoverable debt is returned unpaid by the bank. First, the cheque must be presented to the bank within its validity period (usually 3 months). If the cheque is returned unpaid due to reasons like “insufficient funds” or “account closed,” you must send a legal demand notice to the drawer of the cheque within 30 days from the date you receive the bank return memo. This notice must demand payment of the cheque amount within 15 days. If the drawer does not pay the amount within those 15 days, you can file a criminal complaint under Section 138 before the Magistrate court having jurisdiction within 30 days thereafter. Along with the complaint, you will need the original cheque, bank return memo, copy of legal notice, postal receipt, and tracking/delivery proof. If your case is proved, the court can order payment of the cheque amount with compensation and may also impose imprisonment or fine on the accused. If you want, you can share whether the cheque has already bounced and the date of return, so the limitation period can be checked correctly.
