Please do the following:

1. Within 30 days of the return of the cheque issue a notice to the drawer( person who has issued the cheque) requesting him to make payment of the amount of bounced cheque within 15 days.

2. If he does not make the payment within 15 days, then file a complaint under Section 138 of NI Act in the court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class within 30 days.

( Some times the name of the drawer is not clear on the cheque and also there is no mention of the address of the drawer. You may contact the Bank on which the chqeque is issued and request the Bank to provide you the complete name of the drawer alongwith his address)

Please note that in order to file complaint under section 138 of NI Act, notice to the drawer within 30 days is a must and if the payment is not made by him within 15 days then the filing of the complaint with the JMIC must be done within 30 days.

Have you tried talking to a lawyer about this yet? Maybe starting legal proceedings is a good option.

Mr Joginder Singh above seems to know what he’s talking about - perhaps he can help? Maybe call him and see if he seems helpful?

Do also read this guide on how to hire a lawyer for some pointers:
