icon Joint account Chaque with minor signature only

I lend 2.3 lakhs to someone and for security he gave me a blank chaque with only signature but the problem is it’s a joint account chaque and the person gave me chaque is minor in that joint account


A. Dear client, both members must sign a cheque for a joint account. A minor can write a check, but it must be countersigned by a parent. A minor account holder can use a chequebook to withdraw money from their account, but they cannot issue or draw a cheque in favour of a third party. If a minor gives a cheque and it has been dishonoured, the legal guardian who is a joint holder of the minor's checking account is liable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

A. Dear Client,

In case of mishandling of cheque leafs and promissory notes, one may consider filing a complaint of cheating with the police. While the police may not take immediate action, lodging such a complaint serves as a defensive measure against potential false accusations from the other party in the future. This action can be crucial for safeguarding one's interests and ensuring legal protection in case of any disputes.

A. Dear Client,
While the chit fund is notifying you to settle the case, it's crucial to explore legal options. As sureties, you typically assume responsibility if the borrower defaults. However, if the borrower is untraceable, you may consider consulting with a legal professional to understand the extent of your liability and explore the possibility of filing a case against the borrower for defaulting on the loan. Additionally, review the terms of the surety agreement and seek legal advice to asse ...ReadMore

A. Hello,
You are not responsible for someone else's debt. When someone dies with an unpaid debt, if the debt needs to be paid, it should be paid from any money or property they left behind according to state law. This is often called their estate
