Cheque returned unpaid? The law gives you a short window — use it
Demand notices, Section 138 complaints and recovery for dishonoured cheques — for payees and for the defence.
What this covers
- Statutory demand notice (Section 138)
- Complaint filing and court representation
- Recovery follow-through
- Defence against cheque bounce complaints
- Settlement negotiation
- Advice on limitation and deadlines
The problem
A cheque you were counting on has come back unpaid — and every week you wait weakens your case. The law sets strict deadlines: miss them and the strongest remedy is gone.
How we solve it
We send the statutory demand notice in time, file the complaint if payment still does not come, and press for recovery. If you have received a notice instead, we prepare your defence just as carefully.
