Cheque Bounce Notice (Section 138) in Kolkata

Cheque Bounce Notice in Kolkata, at a Flat ₹999

If a cheque has bounced on you in Kolkata — a business payment, rent, a loan repayment, or a personal settlement — Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team draft and send your statutory demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for a single flat fee of ₹999. We handle the drafting, the legal language, and dispatch end to end; you don't need to visit a lawyer's office in Kolkata to get this done.

The Forum That Matters Here

A cheque bounce case under Section 138 NI Act is a criminal complaint, and jurisdiction follows the cheque, not the person. For most of our Kolkata clients, once the 15-day notice period lapses without payment, the complaint is filed before the Magistrate court having jurisdiction over the bank branch where the cheque was presented for collection — commonly the courts functioning under the City Civil Court, Kolkata complex or, depending on the branch and area, before Magistrates sitting at the Alipore Judges Court. The Calcutta High Court sits above these as the appellate and supervisory authority for the state, including for quashing petitions and bail matters that sometimes follow a 138 complaint.

We work out the correct Magistrate court for your specific cheque — based on where it was deposited and where the drawer's bank branch is located — before we even send the notice, so the notice itself is drafted with the eventual complaint already in mind. This matters in Kolkata because complainants who get the branch or jurisdiction wrong at the notice stage often face avoidable objections later.

How We Work With You

Everything runs over WhatsApp and email, so you never need to be physically present in Kolkata to instruct us:

• Send us the bounced cheque, the bank return memo, and basic details of the transaction as photos or PDFs.
• We verify the cheque amount, dishonour date, and reason for return (insufficient funds, signature mismatch, account closed, etc.) to confirm Section 138 applies.
• We draft the notice, citing your case facts and demanding payment within the statutory window, and send it to you for a quick check before dispatch.
• We send the notice by registered post / speed post with acknowledgment, and keep proof of dispatch and delivery on file — this proof is essential if the matter proceeds to a complaint later.

Clients from Kolkata now living abroad — the UK, the Gulf, the US, or anywhere else — are a regular part of our practice. We coordinate entirely over WhatsApp and email, work across time zones for calls when needed, and never require you to travel back for this step. If the matter later moves to filing a complaint before the Kolkata Magistrate, we discuss that as a separate, clearly quoted engagement — nothing is bundled in without your sign-off.

Why Kolkata Clients Choose Bhawna Yadav

You deal directly with Adv. Bhawna Yadav, not a call centre or a rotating set of juniors. We quote one flat fee for the notice — ₹999 — and tell you honestly, in English or Hindi as you prefer, what the notice can achieve and what the next steps would look like if the drawer doesn't pay. No add-on charges are sprung on you mid-way, and no service is inflated beyond what your matter actually needs. If your cheque bounce concern touches the Calcutta High Court, the City Civil Court, or the Alipore courts, we already know the local practice and file accordingly — so your Kolkata matter is handled by people who understand exactly where it will end up if it isn't resolved by notice alone.
