Go for cheque bouncing and approach labour court if you are eligible under the law and get recovery done.

Re: Cheque Bounce

Dear Nandita,

You can request your employer to pay you in cash. or you may also file a case of chque bounse but it will not be favorable for you coz before filing the case you have to send a legal notice and they will pay the same in time and moreover they can retrench you also. but if they are doing so intentionally then file a case in labour court for harassing.

Re: Cheque Bounce

You can take action under Sec.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act against your employer for the bounced cheques. You must also take action under the labour laws, if you are a workman as defined in the Industrial Disputes Act. Better quickly consult a local lawyer to proceed suitably.
