What is Cheque Bounce?

Cheque return cases are governed by Section 138 of the Negotiable instruments Act, 1881. A cheque bounces when a bank doesn’t honour a payment. When a cheque is returned by the bank unpaid, it is said to be dishonoured or bounced. A few of the reasons are wrong signatures, mismatch of figures written on the cheque (in words and figures), and overwriting. These issues are minor and can be solved without the court’s intervention. A major cause for concern is when a cheque bounces due to lack of funds in the drawer’s account.

If you have received a cheque that has bounced, you have two options. You can send the person a demand notice and then, if there is no response after 15 days, you can eventually follow up by filing a complaint in the court.

To add to this, in case an action is not taken against the defaulter by the receiver within the prescribed time, it can also lead to lack of remedy for the receiver of the cheque as a case for cheque bounce is time-bound. Thus, it is important to address a cheque bounce case as soon as possible in order to avoid all the consequences involved.

What are Cheque Bounce Rules?

In case a person is filing cheque bounce case, there are certain Cheque Bounce rules they have to follow.

  • The first step is to send a demand notice to the offender
  • Once the notice is received, the offender has 15 days to make the due payment
  • Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the payee has to send the drawer a notice within 30 days of receiving the cheque return memo
  • If the drawer fails to make the payment, then the person filling the cheque bounce case has every right to file a complaint with the court by submitting a written complaint along with valid documents
  • The bank's cheque return memo is one of the most important documents. The court will be unable to proceed with the case without this document
  • The defaulter cannot be penalized in the eyes of the cheque bounce law if the bounced cheque was given as a gift or used to lend money for a loan payment.
