Dear Querist
420 IPC can be club with 138 NI act cases, and this complaint is a private complaint. the limitation will be calculate as below:
when the cheque return from the bank with the memo, within one month you can send a legal demand notice with 15 days time after 15 days of the receipt of the notice, next day the cause of action arise and you can file a criminal complaint u/s 138 Ni Act r/w section 420 IPC within one month.
feel free to call

you must file a private complain for cheque bounch But you can not clubbed 420 IPC in a cheque bounch case.
To file a case under Section 138 NI Act u should deposit the cheque for encashment and if the is bunched collect the bank memo and issue a pleaders notice. And if not honoured the notice file a case under section 138 NI Act.
