Cheque stopped by drawer

My sister was working in a boutique from 13 august 2014 as a designer. On 10th november her owner gives her a cheque of 13000/-( salary from 13 october -10 november). ask her to leave the job. Because she was not satisfied by the work done by my sister.

We submitted the cheque on 11 november,but it has been dishonoured because stopped payment by the drawer.

Now the owner is telling,My sister should have inform her 1 month before leaving the job..So she is deducting one month salary because sister is not served the notice period of one month.

How can I handle it.

Dear Sajeev,

 

In this case, you need to provide a cheque dishonor letter/notice to the boutique.

It is very simple to prepare one. Just visit www.legalformat.in and prepare a notice in 3 simple steps and at a very less cost, without affecting the quality of the notice.

From contents, it appears that company is habitual offenders:

1]  Confirm whether terms of appointment contains condition of one month notice.

2] Also confirm what is the period of confirmation in service

3] If both above are absent, it is in our favour.

4] Serve legal notice for dishonour  of cheque and make complaint  u/s.138 of NI Act

Contact a local lawyer and get issued notice u/section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act through your lawyer.

The provision of 138 states that a notice for cheque dishonor needs to be issued. Though the further proceedings can be handled by a lawyer but a notice can e prepared individually as weel.

 

Best of luck

Dear Sajeev,

 

It is not mandatory to issue notice through a lawyer. What is important to convey to the other party that the cheque is dishonored and that payment to be made according to the applicable law.

 

Hence, I suggest that letter/notice from your end can also be issued through www.legalformat.in and if the other party does not pay then apporach a lawyer.

You need to issue a Legal Notice first demanding returned cheque amount under section 138 of the N. I. Act with in 30 days from the date of cheque returned or the first intimation for the same you received from the Bank, giving 15 days time for the payment. On failure of non-payment, you may file Criminal Complaint before the competent court.

It is more advisable to contact a local lawyer.

I send a notice to the owner of boutique.She received the same 2 days before.

 

When I can submit the cheque to the bank?

Is there any further action required before submitting the cheque?

Can I submit the same check, the same way as I submitted before?

 

Please clarify me...
