Re: Cheque bounce

you failed to mention whether or not the cheque was given in discharge of a debt due to you. If the cheque was for payment of amount due by the drawer to you, you can file a complaint under Sec.138 of the N.I.Act, if he fails to pay the amount within 15 days of receipt of notice of demand from you, provided you give the notice within thirty days of the return of the cheque by Bank.
