A Cheque Bounce Notice is a legal communication sent to a drawer (the issuer of a cheque) when their cheque is dishonoured due to insufficient funds, account closure, or other reasons. Under Indian law, this notice is mandatory before initiating legal proceedings for cheque dishonour.
In India, cheque bounce cases are governed by Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The notice must be sent within 30 days of the cheque return memo, demanding payment within 15 days. A properly drafted notice strengthens the payee’s case, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and offering a chance for out-of-court settlement.
