What is Section 138?

Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 deals with cheque dishonour cases commonly known as cheque bounce matters. When a cheque issued towards discharge of a legally enforceable debt or liability is dishonoured by the bank due to insufficient funds or other specified reasons, it constitutes an offence under this section.

The law provides a structured legal remedy to the payee, which includes issuance of a statutory legal notice within the prescribed time period after cheque dishonour. If the drawer fails to make payment within the stipulated time, a criminal complaint can be filed before the appropriate court.

Proper handling of Section 138 matters is crucial as non-compliance may lead to penalties, fines, or imprisonment. Professional assistance ensures timely notices, accurate documentation, effective court representation, and smooth resolution of cheque bounce disputes.
