When the payee sends a legal notice after cheque dishonour, the drawer has 15 days to make payment. Ignoring this notice allows the payee to file a criminal complaint. This can lead to arrest warrants, trial, and even imprisonment. Additionally, a civil recovery suit may follow. Timely response or settlement helps avoid legal escalation and protects reputation.
