The punishment for cheque bounce in a single case. even if multiple cheques bounce or single cheque , is one single punishment and of maximum 2 years. It need not be 2 years, it may be even less, left to teh discetion of the judge.

If all the cheques are meant towards a single legally enforceable debt by the same person,then may be treated as a single offence. It all depends on the nature of complaint. Cheque bounce case attracts very serious punishment including one year imprisonment as well as fine to the tune of double the cheque amount.

The punishment is minimum 6 months of jail and also compensation of the cheque amount...

It depends on how critical the case is and how big is the amount.

It is not compulsory for compensation in the case
