My company issued me a post-dated cheque for my last month’s salary after I resigned. But, when I went to the bank today, they said the company stopped payment on the cheque. Can I send a legal notice under section 138 demanding my salary within 10 days? What other steps should I take to recover my dues from the company?

Yes, you can send a legal notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act demanding your salary within 10 days. You should also file a complaint with the labor commissioner and consider filing a civil suit for recovery of your dues.

I’m facing a tricky situation. I received a cheque from my landlord in Bangalore, but it bounced when I deposited it in Hyderabad. The cheque was for ₹4,500. I’ve been trying to reach him, but he’s not answering my calls even though I know he’s active (he’s in our WhatsApp group!). The problem is, the address he listed in the rental agreement is one of his flats, which he actually rents out. He’s not living there. Can I send a legal notice to that address? If not, what else can I do? A lawyer wants ₹2,000 for the notice and ₹30,000 to file a case, but my friends say it’s not worth it because of the costs and court delays. I’m stuck! Any suggestions on what I can do, legally or otherwise, to get my money back?

My landlord gave me a cheque for ₹15,000 on 10th November 2016, which bounced on the 15th. He promised to pay me in cash, but keeps postponing. I missed the 30-day window for legal notice. Can I redeposit the cheque and send notice after it bounces again? What should I do?
