Cheque bounce under Section 138 is a bailable offense, meaning you can get bail. It's also compoundable, meaning you can settle the case outside court and get the cheque bounce complaint closed.

However, if you skip court hearings then the judge may issue an arrest warrant to procure your presence and you can lose your bail eligibility.

If you get convicted in cheque bounce case then the penalties include:

• Fine up to twice the cheque amount
• Imprisonment up to 2 years
• Or both

At all times, you must never ignore court summons. Attending hearings and having proper legal representation is very important.
