Cheque Bounce Notice in Mumbai — Handled End-to-End by Adv. Bhawna Yadav's Team, Flat ₹999
If a cheque you received has bounced in Mumbai, we draft and send the statutory demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for a flat fee of ₹999 — no hidden add-ons, no surprise billing later. Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team handle the drafting, the posting, and the proof-of-service tracking so the 15-day demand window and the follow-on complaint timeline are protected from day one.
Where This Matter Actually Goes in Mumbai
A Section 138 cheque bounce complaint in Mumbai is filed before the Metropolitan Magistrate court having territorial jurisdiction over the branch where the cheque was presented for payment or dishonoured — under the amended law, this is generally the court local to the payee's bank branch, not the drawer's city. For most of our Mumbai clients this means the Metropolitan Magistrate courts at Esplanade, Girgaon, Andheri, Borivali, Kurla, or Dindoshi, depending on where the account was operated. If the matter escalates beyond the Magistrate stage — appeals, quashing petitions, or connected civil recovery — it comes under the supervisory and appellate jurisdiction of the Bombay High Court. We identify the correct Magistrate court for your specific cheque and account before we draft the notice, so there is no jurisdictional error to fix later.
How We Work With Clients Across Mumbai
We do not need you to visit a physical office. The entire notice stage works over WhatsApp and digital documents:
- Share the cheque copy, the bank return memo, and your ID proof on WhatsApp — no scanning centres, no physical files needed
- We draft the legal notice, verify the bank details and dishonour reason, and dispatch it by registered post/courier with tracking
- We track delivery and the 15-day response window on your behalf and tell you plainly what the next step is if payment isn't made
- If the matter needs to proceed to filing a criminal complaint before the Magistrate, we handle appearances so you don't need to take repeated leave from work or travel across the city for hearings
This setup works whether you live in Andheri, Thane-adjacent suburbs, South Mumbai, or anywhere in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region — and it works just as well if you're not in Mumbai at all right now.
For Mumbai Clients and NRIs Living Abroad
A large share of our Mumbai cheque-bounce clients are people who've since moved — to Dubai, the US, UK, Singapore, or elsewhere — but hold a bounced cheque tied to a Mumbai bank account, tenancy, business deal, or loan given to someone back home. Because the entire process is document-and-WhatsApp driven, distance is not a barrier: we take instructions over WhatsApp or a call at a time zone that works for you, get documents signed digitally or via courier where a physical signature is unavoidable, and represent you before the Mumbai Magistrate court without requiring your physical presence at every hearing. You stay informed in plain English (or Hindi, if you prefer) at each 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.
