First and primary step is to deposit the cheque in the bank within its validity period of three months. This step is compulsory because no legal action can be taken unless the cheque is presented to the bank. If the cheque is cleared, the money will be credited to your account and the matter ends. However, if the cheque is dishonoured, the bank will issue a cheque return memo mentioning the reason for dishonour. After that, you must send a legal notice through your lawyer to the cheque issuer within 30 days, demanding payment of ₹5,00,000 within 15 days. If the payment is still not made, you can then file a cheque bounce case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

​Legal Advice: Step-by-Step Action ​Cheque Presentation: सबसे पहले उस चेक को अपने बैंक में जमा करें। यदि वह बाउंस हो जाता है, तो बैंक से 'Cheque Return Memo' (कारण के साथ) प्राप्त करें। ​Statutory Legal Notice: चेक बाउंस होने के 30 दिनों के भीतर, आपको उस व्यक्ति को वकील के माध्यम से एक औपचारिक कानूनी नोटिस भेजना होगा। इसमें उसे पैसे चुकाने के लिए 15 दिनों का समय दिया जाता है। ​Filing a Case: यदि वह 15 दिनों के बाद भी भुगतान नहीं करता है, तो आप अगले 30 दिनों के भीतर Negotiable Instruments Act की धारा 138 (Section 138) के तहत कोर्ट में केस दर्ज कर सकते हैं।
