Procedure to file case against cheque bounce

you should first issue a registered notice to the cheque issuer within 15 days from the date of cheque bounce demanding payment of the cheque amount within 15 days of receipt of notice. If he fails then file case u/s 138 NI Act. You can contact me for further queries.

Mr. Arif Iqbal, thank you for your reply.

The cheque date was 8th Oct, 2011 and was deposited in bank on 28th Oct because of issuer request. It was bounced on the next day, now its almost one month finished from the date of cheque bounced.

should i go in the same procedure as above?

I have not issued any notice till now, kindly suggest what should i do on immediate basis?

if you have not issued any notice then you can present the cheque again in the bank, and after cheque bounce then you can send legal notice.

Get the cheque bounced again, otherwise you have crossed limitation period.

Regards,

Right Mr. Vankatswamy,

However the query is answered before too.

thank you all for the advice, process is started.

 On the dishonour of cheque. you can file a suit for recovery of the amount under Order XXXVII of CPC. As you have stated that cheques were dishonoured few months back and you have issued no notice to the person bringing to their knowledge the dishonour of cheques and the life of the cheque is still valid which is usually six months from the date of issue. You please present the cheque again and on receipt of the information about the dishonour of the cheque you immediately issue notice within 30 days from the receipt of the information of dishonour of cheque to the person. If the company does not pay the amount within 30 days from the receipt of the notice, you can file complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiatble Instrument Act. The said complaint is to be filed within one month on the expiry of 30 days period of notice.

 Afyter re depositing the cheque , Go to Advocate and issue a registered notice to the cheque issuer within 30 days from the date of cheque bounce demanding payment of the cheque amount within 15 days of receipt of notice.
