Tenant cheque Bounce of 30,000
07-Dec-2024 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
i had a tenant who had given me cheque of 30000/- and cheque has bounced now and refusing to pay the remaining amount plus the electricity amount of 8000/- and vacated the property without giving any notice or informing to me (Owner) what is process to recover the cheque amount and what will be cost to file a case.
First of all rather than going legally you should serve him/her a legal notice and in that notice you can write that either pay my money or face legal action which will be at your own risk. After that if he/she fails to give you a satisfactory reply then you can anytime file a recovery suit or a cheque bounce case under 138 NI Act in the court to claim your money back along with compensations. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.
You have not mentioned the place of incident as well as the place of your bank branch because that will decide the jurisdiction in your cheque bounce case. You should file it immediately. However, you need to send a legal notice to the person while giving him 15 days' time to pay your money. Otherwise, he will have to face legal actions.
Cheque bounce is best way to recover money. As you need not pay any court fee for filing the case. And as per NI Act under which the case is filed , it is presumed in law that person giving cheque to you owes you. Further cheque bounce offence carries punishment of 2 years and double the amount as penalty for sum owed. It is very technical case ,so, it is better you consult a lawyer.
