Here’s a quirky but legit question that comes our way often:
๐ “Sir, the bounced cheque is just ₹950… Can I still file a case or should I just forget it?”
๐
Forget? Never! Sue smartly!
Even if it’s ₹950, a cheque bounce is still a punishable offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. ๐๐ฌ

๐ง What's the Law Say?
There’s no minimum amount limit mentioned in the NI Act.
As long as:
✅ The cheque was issued to discharge a legal debt or liability
✅ It was returned due to insufficient funds or stop payment
✅ You sent a legal notice within 30 days
✅ The drawer failed to pay within 15 days of notice
๐จ You can take the offender to court. Even if it's for ₹950. Respect the paisa! ๐ฅ

๐ Why It’s Still Worth It:
✔️ Sends a strong message ๐ช
✔️ Can recover not just the amount, but also legal costs
✔️ Punishment includes fine up to double the cheque amount and/or imprisonment up to 2 years ๐️๐
๐ So yeah, ₹950 can land someone in jail. Not so small now, huh?
