Punishment for cheating is rigorous or simple imprisonment which may extend to 1 year or fine or both (under Section 417 IPC). Punishment for misappropriation of money is rigorous or simple imprisonment which may extend to 2 years or fine or both (under Section 403 IPC). Both the offences are non cognizable, bailable and compoundable :)
