Cheque Bounce Section 138 - Advocate Ankush Mittal

Cheque Bounce — Section 138 NI Act

Cheque bounce (dishonour of cheque) is a criminal offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. We handle cheque bounce cases for both complainants seeking justice and accused seeking defence — with a track record of favourable results.

Time-Sensitive: You must send a legal notice within 30 days of receiving the bank's dishonour memo. Missing this deadline forfeits your right to file a complaint.

  • Drafting & sending legal demand notice
  • Filing complaint under Section 138
  • Representing complainant in Magistrate Court
  • Securing conviction & compensation
  • Defence for the accused drawer
  • Negotiating out-of-court settlement
  • Appeals in Sessions Court & High Court
  • Multiple cheque bounce consolidation

Step-by-Step Process (For Complainant)

1
Collect Bank's Return Memo

Get the bank's dishonour memo (memo of return). This is the starting document for your case.

2
Send Legal Notice (within 30 days)

We draft and send a formal legal demand notice to the cheque drawer — a mandatory step before filing the complaint.

3
File Complaint (within 30 days of notice expiry)

If no payment is made within 15 days of the notice, we file the criminal complaint in the Magistrate's Court.

4
Court Hearings & Outcome

We represent you on every date. If convicted, the accused faces up to 2 years imprisonment or double the cheque amount as fine, or both.
