Cheque dishonor (commonly known as cheque bounce) is a criminal offense under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. ZCA LEGAL helps clients issue demand notices, file cases in criminal courts, and recover money through legal proceedings. If you receive a bounced cheque, legal action must be initiated within 30 days of receiving the bank dishonor memo. We also represent accused individuals in contesting claims, negotiating settlements, or applying for bail. A cheque bounce case can be resolved quickly with legal strategy. Timely action and proper evidence—like the cheque, memo, and notice—make all the difference in recovery or defense.
