Cheque Bounce Notice (Section 138) in Lucknow

Cheque Bounce Notice in Lucknow — Flat ₹999

If a cheque has bounced on you in Lucknow — a builder, a business partner, a tenant, an employer, or anyone who paid you and defaulted — Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team draft and send the statutory demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for a flat fee of ₹999. One fee, no add-ons, no surprises later.

A cheque bounce case has a strict clock. The demand notice must go out within 30 days of the bank's return memo (cheque returned for "insufficient funds," "account closed," "signature mismatch," or similar), and the drawer then has 15 days to pay. Missing this window can cost you the right to prosecute, so we move fast once you send us the cheque, the bank's return memo, and basic details of the transaction.

Where this actually gets fought in Lucknow

If the notice does not resolve the matter and a Section 138 complaint has to be filed, the case goes before the Magistrate court having jurisdiction over where you presented the cheque for payment or where your bank branch is located — commonly a court under the District & Sessions Court, Lucknow complex. Lucknow's Magistrate courts handle a heavy volume of cheque bounce matters, and having a lawyer who tracks these dockets locally, rather than a generic notice mailed from elsewhere, matters when the case moves to hearings.

For any appeal, revision, or writ arising out of a Lucknow cheque bounce matter, the supervisory jurisdiction sits with the Allahabad High Court, Lucknow Bench — which is precisely why we anchor this service around Lucknow's own court ecosystem rather than treating it as a one-size-fits-all template. Jurisdiction in 138 cases is decided by where the cheque was presented or the payee's bank is situated, not where the drawer lives, so we confirm this carefully before drafting so the notice — and any complaint that follows — is filed in the correct Lucknow court and doesn't get thrown out on a technical objection.

How we work with clients in Lucknow

We do not require you to visit a physical office. Everything is handled over WhatsApp and phone:

• Send us the bounced cheque copy, the bank return memo, and the underlying transaction proof (invoice, loan agreement, rent receipt, or similar) digitally.
• We draft the legal notice, share it with you for confirmation, and dispatch it via registered post/courier with proof of service — you don't chase couriers or post offices yourself.
• If the matter proceeds to filing a complaint before the Lucknow Magistrate, we appear on your behalf; you are kept updated on every hearing without needing to be physically present each time.

This remote-first model works equally well whether you live in Lucknow, elsewhere in Uttar Pradesh, another Indian city, or abroad. We regularly assist NRIs and Lucknow-origin families settled overseas whose cheques were dishonoured back home — documents move over WhatsApp and email, and we represent you in the Lucknow court while you continue your life without international travel or lost time.

Why clients in Lucknow choose us

You deal directly with Adv. Bhawna Yadav, a practising advocate, not a call-centre intake team — so the person drafting your notice actually understands the facts of your case. We quote one flat fee upfront and tell you honestly whether a notice alone is likely to resolve the matter or whether you should be prepared for a Section 138 complaint — there is no incentive on our end to inflate the scope of work. Communication is available in English or Hindi, whichever you're comfortable with, and every update — draft, dispatch proof, and next steps — reaches you on WhatsApp so you always know where your matter stands.
