Cheque Bounce Rule: If you also pay through cheque, then it is very important to take care of many things. Otherwise, if the Cheque  bounces, you may have to go to jail along with the fine. Cheque bounce is considered a legal offense in the language of the court. In this, a provision has been made for punishment under the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881.

When does a Cheque bounce?

When a bank rejects a Cheque for some reason and the payment is not made, it is called Cheque bounce. The reason for this happening is mostly due to lack of balance in the account. Apart from this, even if there is a difference in the person’s signature, the bank rejects the cheque.

Reasons for Cheque bounce

– Payee’s bank account does not have sufficient funds
– Signature does not match
– Account number does not match
– Cheque issued with date
– Amount does not match in words and figures
– Mutilated Cheque
– overdraft limit

What happens after a Cheque bounces?

When the Cheque bounces, the person giving the Cheque has to inform about it. After which he has to pay you within 1 month. In case of not doing so, a legal notice is sent to the person. Even after that, if no reply is given for 15 days, then a case is registered against him under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act 1881. Under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, the person can be prosecuted and the Cheque drawer can be punished for up to two years.

How long is the Cheque period?

Cheques, bank drafts are currently valid for 3 months from their issue.

Why are they valid only for 3 months?

It is common banking practice to dishonor a Cheque older than 3 months. This practice is for the protection of the person who has written the cheque, as there is a possibility that the payment may have been made through some other means or the Cheque may have been lost or stolen.

Keep these things in mind before issuing a cheque-

Whenever you give a Cheque to someone, make sure that you have money in your account.
Apart from this, the person taking the v should get it cashed within three months.
Whenever you pay someone with a cheque, avoid giving more space between words and figures regarding the name and amount.
Whenever you sign a bank cheque, remember that you have to sign in the same way as it is already recorded in the records of the concerned bank branch.

Whenever you pay someone through a bank cheque, make sure to note down the details of the Cheque like Cheque number, account name, amount and date.
Always issue account payee cheques.
The signature on the Cheque should be registered with the bank.
– Fill in the information on the check carefully and correctly.
