Understanding Cheque Bounce

A cheque bounces when the bank refuses to clear it due to insufficient funds, a closed account, signature mismatch, or other issues. Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a cheque bounce becomes a criminal offense if the drawer does not pay the amount after receiving the bank’s return memo.

Key Legal Points

Section 138:
Penalty can include imprisonment up to two years, a fine up to twice the cheque amount, or both.

Section 139:
The law presumes the cheque was issued for a valid debt unless proven otherwise.
