Deposit the necessary amount into ur concerned account and inform to the drawee so that he can draw the amount.

Siddharth Srivastava (Advocate)     16 September 2017

If cheque dishonoured for any reason then drawee shall issue notice u/s.138 N.I. Act and if the same will not be complied by drawer then complaint case u/s.138 N.I Act. The punishment in such case is 2 years imprisonment and double of the cheque amount as penalty. Such cases are required to be tackled tactfully.  Sidharth9811776422
