Cheque Bounce

Cheque bounce is a criminal and financial offence governed by Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. It occurs when a cheque is dishonoured due to insufficient funds, account closure, or payment stoppage by the drawer. To initiate a cheque bounce case, the payee must follow a strict legal procedure, including issuing a statutory legal notice within 30 days of cheque dishonour and allowing the drawer 15 days to make payment. Failure to comply enables the aggrieved party to file a criminal complaint. Conviction may result in imprisonment, monetary penalty, or both, making cheque bounce cases legally significant.
