I joined a software company in India and completed my 6-month probation period. My salary was ₹5,000 during probation, which was supposed to increase to ₹3.25 lakh afterwards. However, just two weeks after my salary was increased, I realised I couldn’t continue working there and had to leave. Now, the company has sent me a legal notice about a bounced cheque case. What should I do?

Since you left within two weeks of your salary increase, the company can claim breach of contract. However, you can contest the bounced cheque case by proving you couldn’t continue working due to genuine reasons, and negotiate a settlement with the company. Seek legal counsel to understand your specific situation and options.

My friend, I’m caught in a tough spot. I’m facing a bounced cheque case, but the cheque itself has never been shown in court!

My client issued a cheque on the 2nd of September, 2016. I presented it to the bank on the 4th of September, 2016, but it bounced.
