Cheque Bounce Notice (Section 138 NI Act)

Start with Cheque copy and cheque date/amount; Bank return memo and date information was received; Underlying debt/liability evidence and payment history. These are preparation prompts, not a request to upload documents with your enquiry. We will confirm what is relevant after reviewing your circumstances.

The current estimated service timeline is 24 Hours. The actual duration can depend on complete and accurate information, the complexity of the matter and processing by the relevant authority or other parties. We will confirm the expected steps after reviewing your details.

Section 138 generally requires a written demand within thirty days after receiving information from the bank that the cheque was returned unpaid. The drawer then has fifteen days from receipt of that notice to pay. These are strict statutory timelines; have an advocate review the dates, service evidence and facts immediately.

The listed professional fee starts at ₹2,499. Speed Post Included. The final amount can depend on statutory charges, the facts of your matter and any additional work you request; confirm the complete quote before proceeding.

A team member can review the details you submit, follow up if more context is needed and confirm availability, scope, fees and expected timing. Sending an enquiry does not start an engagement or require payment.
