A.Dear client,

In case of a bounced cheque, the first step you should consider is issuing a legal notice through your advocate to the person who gave you the cheque. This notice informs them about the dishonored cheque and demands the payment of the cheque amount within a specific period, usually 15 days.

Sending a legal notice demonstrates your intent to take legal action if the matter is not resolved amicably. It also gives the person an opportunity to rectify the situation and make the payment without involving the courts.
If the person fails to respond to the legal notice or does not make the payment within the specified period, then you can proceed with filing a complaint in the local police station or approaching the appropriate court, depending on the laws and procedures in your jurisdiction.
