Overview

In case of a dishonoured cheque, if there is no payment within 15 days of sending legal notice, you need to file a criminal complaint in Court to recover the amount. MyAdvo will help you draft and file the cheque bounce case through an expert cheque bounce lawyer.

In a cheque bounce case, a legal notice needs to be sent first before filing of the complaint.

 

Timelines in a Cheque Bounce case

  • The legal notice must be sent within 30 days from the date of bouncing of the cheque 
  • The legal notice provides the cheque issuer 15 days from the date of receipt of notice to make the payment
  • In case the drawer fails to pay within 15 days, then a criminal complaint is to be filed in the Court within 30 days from the expiry of the 15 days

I run a wholesale business of plastic bottles. One of my clients was not paying me at all and when I finally urged him to pay, they gave me a cheque which bounced. Again, he refused to pay and this was becoming a hassle. MyAdvo gave me sound legal advice and helped me file a case against this client. Really happy with their service.
