Understanding Cheque Bounce Law

When a cheque is returned unpaid due to insufficient funds, account closure, or payment stoppage, the law allows the payee to initiate criminal proceedings. However, this process is strictly time-bound and highly technical:

Legal notice must be issued within 30 days of dishonour
Drawer must be given 15 days to make payment
Complaint must be filed within the prescribed limitation period

Any procedural mistake can weaken your case. Our firm ensures absolute compliance with all statutory requirements, safeguarding your rights at every stage.
