Cheque bounce and money recovery (India)

Plain notes on bounced cheques and civil money recovery — timelines matter; this is educational only.

Keep the paper trail

Cheque images or memos, bank return memos, invoices, agreements, WhatsApp or email demand notes, and proof of delivery where relevant.

Criminal and civil tracks differ

Some cheque-bounce situations involve specific notice and limitation rules; unpaid invoices may be civil recovery. The right path depends on facts and law — not a one-line internet answer.

Act within time

Waiting too long can close options. If unsure about deadlines, ask early for general guidance rather than guessing from social media tips.

Facilitation only
