Dear Sir / Madam,
A cheque and a credit card is used as a payment mode for purchase of goods or services. Defaulting on payment of credit card dues is similar to dishonouring a cheque and is liable for criminal proceedings. Immediate settlement of credit card dues is recommended.

Yes, it does, as per Bombay High Court judgement.
