Optional Grouping: Cheque Bouncing

Cheque bouncing is a criminal offence and you can be arrested by the police. However, it is important to note that the police cannot arrest you without a warrant.

In most cheque bouncing cases, a warrant for your arrest is issued if you do not appear before the Court after being summoned. The crime of cheque bouncing is bailable.

In a scenario of multiple cheque bouncing cases, you can be accused of the crime of cheating under the Indian Penal Code. Then the crime is non-bailable.
