NOTICE U/S 138 FOR DISHONOR OF CHEQUE

If there should arise an occurrence of check bounce, the legal notice should be served within 30 days from the date of the check bounced.

The lawful suit can be filed if there is no reimbursement of cash following 15 days of serving notice. If you do not have any prior experience in drafting legal notice it is also advisable to hire a civil lawyer to draft the document on your behalf.

It is also very important that a lawyer must sign in the notice even if he did not draft it. The notice must be drafted in the letter pad provided by the lawyer. Once a notice is delivered, there is no turning back as the same cannot be changed thereafter. The legal notice can be sent personally or by online.

A designated period of 15-20 days should be provided to receiver to counter the notice. The notice must be drafted in a way that the receiver has no other option than to submit to the terms of the sender and to avoid the need to initiate legal proceeding.

The essential details and proposed remedies must be clear and accurate to the point that receiver cannot be able to deny it. The legal aspect i.e. the legal provisions under which the compensation is claimed must be mentioned clearly.
