If you have received a notice due to bounce of a cheque you need to arrange payment to the payee with in 15 days failing which your offence is committed unless you have requested for time to pay and the payee has acceded to your request.

In case you have failed to do as stated above and have not paid the amount of cheque,the payee in his right can file a criminal complaint against you u/s 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act.
The police would be involved for service of summons on you when magistrate taking cognizance of offence summons you.
