 Can I Recover My Money If Someone Gave Me a Cheque That Bounced?” – Don’t Let the Rubber Cheque Bounce You Off! 💣💸🧾

Here’s a client favourite from the "Why-do-people-do-this-to-me?" folder:
👉 “Someone gave me a cheque and it bounced. Can I take legal action and recover my money?” 😡🏦❌

💡 Answer: 100% YES — and the law is on your side (with a vengeance)!
The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, specifically Section 138, empowers you to initiate criminal action against the person who gave you a bouncing cheque. 🚨💼

📌 What You Should Do If a Cheque Bounces:
✅ Step 1: Get a written memo from the bank showing “cheque returned – insufficient funds” 🏦🖋️
✅ Step 2: Send a legal notice within 30 days from the date of bounce
✅ Step 3: If no payment is made within 15 days of notice, file a criminal complaint under Section 138 NIA within the next 30 days

⏳ Yes, the timelines are strict – delay can be deadly to your case. 🕒
