If a cheque bounces, you can file a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. First, issue a legal notice to the person who issued the cheque. If they do not pay, file a case in the local court. Consult a lawyer to help with the legal process. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
