Cheque Bounce Matters
Structured support for dishonoured cheques issued toward a legally enforceable debt or liability.
A structured route for this type of outstanding.
A dishonoured cheque can create both recovery and statutory timing issues. Where Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act applies, the written demand notice must be issued within the prescribed period after bank intimation, followed by the statutory payment window before complaint proceedings. We help organise the cheque, bank return memo, underlying liability documents and the required recovery steps.
