Respected Sir/Madam, I received two cheques from TGS Properties in August, which bounced due to insufficient funds. When I contacted them, they promised a Demand Draft by the end of September. Could you please clarify the timeframe for filing a complaint after a cheque bounces? Thank you.

Under Indian law, you have 30 days from the date the cheque is presented to the bank and returned unpaid to file a complaint with the police or initiate legal action against TGS Properties. Since the cheques bounced in August, you can file a complaint now.

I’m owed ₹10 lakhs by a person who has passed away. He had signed cheques from a joint account he shared with his son. The Magistrate dismissed my cheque bouncing cases, claiming the signatures on the cheques were not his. However, the account was a joint one, meaning both father and son could operate it. Can I file a civil suit under Order XXXVII of the CPC? Are there any other criminal remedies to recover the amount? The deceased had also given me a promissory note for the amount. His legal heirs own substantial properties in Delhi. What are my options to recover this debt from them?

My tenant hasn’t paid the rent, and his cheque bounced. I’ve sent two notices to his permanent address, but both came back. He actually lives with his in-laws. My lawyer says a third notice is needed, but I’m worried it’ll be ignored again. What should I do next to get the rent?

I gave a builder Rs 6 lakh by cheque for a property deal, and he promised to pay me Rs 8.5 lakh after 5 months. He gave me 3 cheques worth Rs 2 + 2 + 2.5 = 6.5 lakh as security. One of these cheques bounced, and I’ve sent him a notice. Now he’s threatening to not pay. What are the legal fees and how long will it take to file a case in India?

My friend owes me ₹1 lakh (₹100,000) and gave me a cheque dated 20th April 2016. He promised to pay but couldn’t. I tried depositing the cheque on 22nd April, 24th May, and 20th June but it bounced each time due to insufficient funds. I’ve read online that I needed to send a legal notice within 30 days of the cheque bouncing and then file a criminal case within 30 days if payment wasn’t made. It’s been more than three months since the last bounce (23rd June 2016), and today is 27th September. Should I deposit the cheque again? Is it necessary to have it bounce three times? What options do I have now?

We were planning to partner with an LLP and transferred some money to them. However, things didn’t work out, and we decided to pull out of the project. The LLP owner gave me post-dated checks for the same amount. Now, I’m worried about what could happen if: The checks bounce. He reports the checks missing before I deposit them. He asks the bank to stop payment. What legal options do I have if any of these situations occur?
