Re: cheque bounce
You need to issue a legal notice to the drawer of the cheque within 30 Days from the date of dis-honour endorsement, calling upon the party to pay the cheue amount within 15 days from the date of receipt of notice, and if at the end of 15 days he does not pay the amount, then you have to file a Complaint before the Magistrate, u/s. 138 of the NI Act, or you have the option to file a suit for recovery.
