Legal Notice (Cheque Bounce)
Under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
Version 1.0 — June 2026
- Mandatory before filing a criminal complaint — without this notice, no prosecution can be initiated under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
- Strict statutory timelines — notice must be sent within 30 days of cheque dishonour
- 15-day payment period — the drawer has 15 days from receipt of notice to make payment
- Strict compliance is critical — the Supreme Court in Kaveri Plastics v. Mahdoom Bawa Baharudeen Noorul held that demand notices under Section 138 must be precise; any discrepancy in the amount demanded is fatal
- Electronic notices validated — Allahabad High Court confirmed email/WhatsApp notices are valid under Section 13 IT Act
- No discretion to reduce interest — Under Section 138 of the NI Act, courts do not have discretion to reduce the interest on the amount demanded in the notice
