Even if the cheque is issued for security or guarantee purposes, if dishonoured, it will attract prosecution U/s.138 of NI Act. The account holder should have the sufficient amount in his account to honour the cheque on the date of issuing of the cheque itself. Even though this is not followed in today's transactions, atleast the drawer should maintain sufficient balance of cheque value on the date of cheque as precautionary measure. Further, he should give stop payment advice to the bank concerned stating all the reasons for stopping the payment.
