to recover the amount limitation is 3 years.  Here you will get 3 years time to file a suit for recov ery of khata balance from the date of cheque bounce.

1-12-09 to 31-12-10  -- one yer

1/12/10 to 31/12/11   -- second year

1/12/11 to 31/12/12  -- third years

Still you have to 10 months to file case, if you giv e the notice in between this period you will get again 3 years from the date of receipt of notice by the person to whom you issued a notice.
