Overview - cheque dishonour legal notice u s 138 Registration

Cheque dishonour is a criminal offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. When a cheque is returned unpaid by the bank (due to insufficient funds, account closed, payment stopped, etc.), the payee can send a legal notice to the drawer demanding payment within 30 days. If payment is not made, a criminal complaint can be filed in court. Lawxygen sends legally crafted Section 138 notices that maximise recovery and minimise delay.
