Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 deals with cheque dishonor and the legal consequences of failure to make payment. It mandates that if a cheque is dishonored due to insufficient funds or any other reason, the drawer (person who issued the cheque) is required to pay the amount within 15 days of receiving a legal notice.

If the payment is not made within the specified time, criminal charges can be initiated, leading to imprisonment or fine.
