Is any limit on Number of Cheques to be considered in one Notice?


21-Apr-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
My builder has issued cheques of 20 lakhs in 20 instruments, all of different dates (within 30 days). Now all cheques are bounced due to stop payment. Can i issue notice of all 20 bounced cheques in one notice or i have to issue different notice for all ??

All cheques can be incorporated in one single demand notice. No need to issue different notices for different cheques. But make sure to issue the demand notice within 30 days of the date the cheque bounced.

Since the said cheques are of different dates, i assume that they must not have bounced on the same date. In my view it will be easier for filing a case if you make a group of 4-5 cheques which have been bounced on the same date. The notice of cheque bounce should been sent within 30 days from the date when the cheque is bounced. Kindly book a consultancy call. I can give you some more further detailed advice. I can look into the matter.

If the date on which the last cheque is returned unpaid, is within 30 days of the date of return of the first cheque, you can send a single notice for all 20 cheques.

If not, maybe you need to send at the max 2 notices, not more.
