A.First check if cheque is valid or not because lot of banks merged.

if it is valid cheque and you can deposit the cheque and sometimes people get lucky and cheque gets clear.

If cheque bounces then you can initiate cheque bounce.

A.Hi,
To begin, you should serve a legal notice requesting payment from your friend. If you have not got your money yet, deposit the cheque in the bank; if the cheque is not cashed, you can file a legal notice for cheque dishonour under Section 138 of the NI Act, which allows you to file a legal notice within 15 days. After that, you will file a lawsuit in order to get your money back.

A.Hi,
To begin, you should serve your friend with a legal notice demanding payment. If you still have not received your money, deposit the cheque in the bank; if the cheque is dishonored, you have recourse under Section 138 of the NI Act, which requires you to file a legal notice for cheque dishonor within 15 days. After that, you can file a lawsuit for recovery.

A.You should be very cautious, there are judges who do not entertain cheque bounce for time barred debts ( 3 years). Once the cheque is dishonoured, proper and careful drafting of demand notice is very important.
