after check dishonor there is no time limit for getting the FIR registered against the offender under section 489-F of PPC. The punishment for dishonoring of cheque is 3 years and it is itself an offense of non-cognizable,non-bailable and of compoundable nature. However, the sooner you proceed the stronger your case is..

The second case is for the recovery of money under order 37 which has a time period of 3 years from the date the cheque has been dishonored. For more you can consult me at [email protected]
