Cheque Bounce Notice in Kanpur — ₹999, One Flat Fee
If a cheque you were given has bounced in Kanpur, we draft and send the statutory demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for a single flat fee of ₹999. Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team handle the drafting, the legal grounds, and the dispatch — no hidden add-ons, no surprise charges later.
Where This Matter Is Actually Heard
Cheque bounce cases arising in Kanpur fall under the criminal jurisdiction of the Magistrate courts, and are ultimately supervised by the Allahabad High Court, which has appellate and revisional authority over Section 138 proceedings from this region. At the trial level, the matter is typically filed before the Magistrate attached to the District & Sessions Court, Kanpur Nagar, since that is where the drawee bank branch — and therefore the "cause of action" for a Section 138 complaint — is usually located.
Jurisdiction under Section 138 is fixed with reference to the bank branch where the payee presented the cheque for collection or where the cheque was dishonoured, following the amendments to the NI Act that centralised jurisdiction (as opposed to older law that allowed filing wherever any part of the transaction occurred). For a Kanpur-based payee depositing a cheque with a Kanpur branch, the Kanpur courts are the natural forum, and this is a distinction we confirm carefully before drafting your notice, because getting it wrong at the notice stage can create complications later if the matter proceeds to a criminal complaint.
How We Work With You in Kanpur
We do not require clients to visit a physical office. Everything can be handled remotely:
- You share the cheque copy, bounce memo/return memo from the bank, and basic transaction details with us over WhatsApp or email.
- We verify the drawer's address, the applicable limitation period (the notice must go out within 30 days of the bank's return memo), and the correct addressee.
- We draft the legal notice and dispatch it through registered post/speed post with proof of dispatch, which is essential if the matter later needs to go before the Magistrate at Kanpur Nagar.
- You receive a copy of the sent notice and tracking details for your records.
This process works identically whether you live in Kanpur, elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, or outside India. For NRIs and Kanpur-origin clients living abroad — whether the cheque was issued by a party in Kanpur or you are pursuing recovery against someone based there — we manage the entire notice process on your behalf without requiring your physical presence, coordinating over WhatsApp and email across time zones, and keeping you informed at each step so you are not left chasing updates.
Why Clients in Kanpur Choose Us
Every matter is handled personally under the name of Adv. Bhawna Yadav, enrolled with the Bar Council of Madhya Pradesh, so you are working with a named, accountable advocate rather than an anonymous service desk. We quote one flat fee — ₹999 for the notice — and tell you honestly whether your situation genuinely needs only a notice or whether it is likely to require a full Section 138 complaint later; we do not inflate the scope of work to charge more. Communication is available in English or Hindi, whichever is comfortable for you, and all documentation is exchanged digitally so nothing depends on your ability to visit Kanpur in person. If your cheque bounce matter needs to escalate beyond the notice — to filing the criminal complaint itself — we can guide you on that as a separate, clearly quoted step, with no pressure and no bundled upsell at the notice stage.

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.
