Dear Sir, as per your query,
1. Account Closed Cheque
This is considered dishonour of cheque under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (NI Act).
Reason “Account Closed” is legally same as insufficient funds.
You should issue a legal notice within 30 days of receiving the bank return memo.
If payment is not made within 15 days of the notice, you can file a cheque bounce criminal complaint in a magistrate's court.
For further details, feel free to contact our OLQ Team for a detailed discussion.
