Cheque Bounce Notice (Section 138) in Chandigarh
A statutory cheque-bounce demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act at a flat ₹999, drafted and issued by Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team within the 30-day window — the first, decisive step to recover your money.
Cheque Bounce Notice in Chandigarh — Handled End-to-End at ₹999
If a cheque has bounced on you in Chandigarh, we draft and send the statutory demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for a single flat fee of ₹999 — no add-ons, no surprise billing later. Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team prepare the notice on the same or next working day once we have your cheque, the bank's return memo, and your basic details.
Where This Matter Actually Goes: The Magistrate Court
Cheque bounce cases under Section 138 are tried by the Magistrate court, and for residents and businesses in Chandigarh that means the District Courts, Chandigarh, at Sector 43. This is a criminal complaint procedure, not a civil recovery suit, and the notice we send you is the mandatory first step — the drawer gets 15 days to pay after receiving it, and only if that period lapses without payment does a complaint become maintainable before the Magistrate.
Jurisdiction for a Section 138 complaint follows the place where the cheque was presented for payment through your bank branch — under the amended law, this is ordinarily the branch where you deposited the cheque, which for most Chandigarh account holders keeps the matter squarely within the Sector 43 court complex rather than forcing you to a Magistrate elsewhere. If the Punjab & Haryana High Court's jurisdiction becomes relevant later — for a quashing petition, revision, or bail matter connected to your case — we advise you on that separately, as and when it arises; it does not affect the notice stage.
How We Work With Clients in Chandigarh
You do not need to visit our chamber to get this notice out. Our process is built to run entirely on WhatsApp and email:
- Share the cheque image, the bank's dishonour/return memo, and your ID proof digitally
- We verify the details, draft the notice, and send you a copy for confirmation before dispatch
- We handle sending the notice through the appropriate registered channel and keep proof of dispatch on file
- If the matter proceeds to a complaint before the District Courts, Chandigarh, we appear on your behalf — you are not required to be present for routine hearings
This works equally well whether you are based in Chandigarh, in Panchkula or Mohali dealing with a Chandigarh-linked cheque, or an NRI who has left India but still holds accounts or business interests tied to the city. We coordinate over calls and WhatsApp across time zones, and all paperwork — the notice draft, the memo, any authorisation you need to sign — is handled digitally so you are not chasing courier deadlines from abroad.
Why Clients in Chandigarh Choose Us
You deal directly with Adv. Bhawna Yadav, a practising advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Madhya Pradesh, not a call-centre intake team or a rotating set of junior associates. We quote the ₹999 flat fee once, and that is what you pay — we don't upsell you into unnecessary "packages" or hold back on telling you plainly if your case needs more than a notice, such as a full Section 138 complaint later.
We work with clients in Chandigarh in both English and Hindi, whichever is more comfortable for you, and every update on your matter comes to you in writing — over WhatsApp or email — so there's a clear record of what's been done and what comes next. If you're holding a bounced cheque and need the notice sent correctly and on time, message us and we'll get started the same day.

Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline to send a Section 138 notice?
You must issue the demand notice within 30 days of receiving the cheque-return memo from your bank. This window is strict — once it lapses, that particular dishonour can no longer found a Section 138 case — so it is the first thing we move on.
I've misplaced the bank return memo — can you still help?
We need the return memo to fix the 30-day window, so ask your bank for a duplicate before we start. Once we have it, the notice is drafted and issued within 48 hours.
Is the notice valid across India?
Yes. Section 138 is central legislation, so the notice is enforceable nationwide. We issue it for clients in every Indian state at the same flat ₹999.
What if the drawer ignores the notice?
If the amount is not paid within 15 days of the drawer receiving the notice, a complaint can be filed in the magistrate's court — within 30 days of that window closing. We handle that next step separately, and will explain the position and the cost before anything is filed.
