Once the drawer admits signing the cheque, the court generally presumes that it was issued to repay a legally enforceable debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drawer must then raise a credible defence supported by the facts or evidence. A simple denial is usually not enough. Common defences may include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No legally enforceable debt: <\/strong>The cheque was not issued for an amount the drawer was legally required to pay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No payment due when presented: <\/strong>This may apply to a security cheque if the liability had not arisen when it was deposited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Invalid demand notice: <\/strong>The notice was late or did not clearly demand the cheque amount.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Required procedure not followed: <\/strong>The payee missed a deadline for presenting the cheque, sending the notice or filing the complaint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If none of these is available and the drawer simply owes the money but needs time to pay, a defence is usually the more expensive path. That is where the compounding provisions come in, and where the law is unusually explicit about rewarding speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resolving_cheque_bounce_cases_with_ODR\"><\/span>Resolving cheque bounce cases with ODR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cadreodr.com\/blog\/online-dispute-resolution-in-india\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online dispute resolution<\/a> is simply this set of processes &#8211; negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration &#8211; run on a digital platform instead of in a room.
