A.You are left only with a civil action against your brother now. The Cheque of SBM if presented now will return with a memo citing reason whcih will not be covered under the clauses to enable you to file what you call as cheque bounce case.

A.The cheque life and its validity are controlled by the guide lines of amended banking act in force and guide lines issued time to time by RBI. Now the life of cheque is 3 months.better to limit transactions limited within time limit to protect your interest.

A.Facts not clear. You did not mention the amount nor the date of issue of the cheque. What was the purpose of the issue of the cheque? Was there any liability?
Legal positions cannot be answered without complete facts, as the answer will differ from one facts to other facts. For your understanding, validity period of cheque is for three months from the date inscribed on it. If you're smarter than ask your brother to get new cheque book from SBI and convince him to issue proper signed cheque in your favour.

A.After merger with SBI certainly you cannot use that cheque. What you can do is ask your brother to provide new cheque and if he denies then send him the request in writing to change the cheque and that will help to establish your case in court of law if needed.
