Q: From which date , the period of 30 days will be counted to issue notice ?

Ans: Firstly,  a drawee should go to bank and should acquire the bounced cheque and the cheque bounce memo in which the bank will mention the reason of bouncing of cheque. The drawee has to give notice in writing to drawer via registered post within 30 days from the date mentioned in memo. 

If the drawee does not give notice to drawer within 30 days from the date mentioned in memo, the drawee can not file case of dishonour of cheque under section 138 of negotiable instrument act, 1881.

Note: If due to any reason,  the drawee could not send notice to drawer of dishonour of cheque within 30 days from the date mentioned in memo and cheque is under the period of its validity,  the drawee can submit the cheque again in bank and can get the return memo again and can send notice to drawer within 30 days from the date mentioned in memo. 

It is a misconception that it is necessary to make the cheque bounce three times to file the case but here it is not so and bouncing of cheque only once is sufficient to file the case under section 138 of negotiable instrument act,  1881.

Q: What is the significance of issuing account payee cheque?

Ans: While issuing the cheque, a drawer should draw two parallel lines on its left side and should write 'account only' in between them. By doing this, the cheque becomes an account payee cheque and the payment will be made only in the bank account of the payee. In case of any type of fraud, the payee can be traced. Having the above- mentioned precautions, a drawer can be avoided from fraud to a great extent.

Q: How would section 208, 209 and 210 of IPC be implemented in dishonour of cheque ?

Ans: A and B collude together and A issues the cheque for X Amount, which gets dishonored.  B files the complaint under S.138, and without proving the liability gets the benefit of presumption under S.139, now both A and B enact the drama of compounding under S.147 of NI Act, matter closed, but in principle A has violated IPC S.208 and S.210 and B has violated IPC S.209. So, if rightly B is asked to prove the entitlement to become the holder, before presumption can be granted to him, surely he would fail and lawfully both A and B can be prosecuted under IPC S.208, S.209 and S.210 if required.

Q: What are the other illustrations of cheating?

Ans: Illustrations: 1. There are two persons A and Z. A exhibits the false sample of an article to Z and intentionally makes Z believe that the article corresponds with the sample.
