Cheque Bounce Rule: There are many cases of Cheque bounce in the country, but till now no result has been found in these cases. But now the government is preparing to bring new rules regarding Cheque bounce. Due to which now if someone’s Cheque has bounced, not only will legal action be taken against him, but the money will also be recovered from the person’s other account.
According to information received from sources, the government has made complete preparations in collaboration with RBI and can implement the new system soon. Recovery of money from another account simply means that the Cheque holder will have to repay the money under any circumstances. There may also be punishment.
CNBC report says that after this process is developed, the credit score of the company or person whose Cheque bounces will also deteriorate. Apart from this, loan default rules will also be applicable for these cases. This will reduce the cases of Cheque bounce and people will refrain from bouncing their own cheques.
