- The notice must be sent within 30 days of receiving the cheque return memo from the bank.
- The issuer must be given a 15-day period to make the payment.

What happens if a Cheque Bounce Notice is ignored?
Failing to respond to a cheque bounce notice within the stipulated timeframe can have severe legal consequences:
- ⚠️Presumption of Admission: Courts may presume that you admit to the facts stated in the notice if you do not formally object.
- ⚠️Ex-Parte Proceedings: The sender may initiate a lawsuit, and if you do not appear, the court may pass a judgment against you (ex-parte).
- ⚠️Criminal/Civil Action: Ignoring the notice period directly leads to proceedings against the recipient depending on the nature of the dispute.
