Cheque bounce cases fall under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which was amended in 1988 to make the dishonor of cheques a criminal offense. This amendment was introduced to enhance the credibility of cheques as a reliable financial instrument in commercial transactions. A cheque is considered "bounced" when it is returned unpaid by the bank due to insufficient funds, signature mismatch, account closure, payment stopped by the drawer, or other technical reasons.
