File Cheque Bounce Complaint Online - Quick Legal Support

Common Cheque Bounce Scenarios We Handle

Our expert cheque bounce lawyers provide quick, tailored solutions for all types of dishonoured cheques, whether it is rent, salary, business, or loan-related cases. Here's how we address each situation:

• Post-Dated Cheques for Rent

  Tenants often issue post-dated cheques for monthly rent, which bounce due to insufficient funds or stop payments. Our team assesses the lease agreement and payment history, issues a legal notice to the tenant, and files a case under Section 138 if payment isn’t made.

• Client Payment Bounce

  Businesses face losses when clients' cheques bounce after goods or services have been delivered. We gather all evidence, like invoices, emails, and contracts, and prepare a legal notice. If the client still defaults, we file a Section 138 complaint and pursue compensation. We also help protect your future business deals by advising on better payment terms.

• Salary Payment via Cheque

  Employees receive their salary via cheque that bounces, often due to financial mismanagement or disputes. We verify the employment and salary documents, then send a legal notice to the employer. If unresolved, we also help to file a cheque bounce case and assist in recovering unpaid salary through a labour court or civil claim.

• Business Cheque Bounce

  In B2B transactions, cheques issued for project payments, supplies, or settlements often get dishonoured. We help build a strong case by documenting the debt, issuing legal notices, and filing under Section 138. We also help businesses pursue civil remedies to recover dues and advise on risk-proof contracts for future transactions.

• Stop Payment & Account Closure Cases

  Some drawers intentionally issue cheques and then close the bank account or stop payment to avoid liability. This is considered a fraudulent act and a criminal complaint under Section 138 along with IPC Sections 406 and 420. Our team provides complete litigation support and helps you handle the case in court.

• Cheques with Signature Mismatch

  Cheques bounce because the drawer’s signature doesn’t match bank records, either due to fraud or genuine error. Our experts guide both parties on how to avoid such errors in future transactions.

• Damaged or Altered Cheques

  Cheques are dishonoured due to overwriting, physical damage, or tampering. In this case, we assess whether the drawer or payee caused the alteration. If it was a deliberate act to avoid payment, we initiate legal proceedings. If it’s a genuine error, we request a fresh cheque and mediate resolution without escalating.
