Hey,

Is there any penalty for bounced cheque? The answer is yes. My father has recently told me what is the penalty for cheque bounce, so I can tell you about it. The issuer is responsible for the penalty on the dishonored cheque depending on the reason for the bounce. As per the Negotiable Instruments Act,1881, it is a criminal offense to dishonor a cheque due to insufficient funds.

So, if you are issuing a cheque against an account with inadequate money, then you need to pay the charges. The payee gets three months to sue you or allow you to reissue a cheque. You might even face up to 2 years in prison to issue a dishonorable check. Banks also charge penalty fees. The penalty charges varies from one bank to another. Let me tell you about the penalty for bounced cheque in India.
