Re: Bounce cheque charges

The Bank may be justified in levying a charge at the time of cheque bouncing even if the cheque is cleared subsequently.

You may contact your bank for appropriate information. The amount may be insignificant for any legal steps. However, you may consider filing a complaint with the local Consumer Forum if there is any unreasonable charge by the Bank.
