January 31, 2025 at 4:20 amI told a general way obviously there’ll other factors so you should act accordingly…. Provide him with a notice written or oral regarding the issue (it can be used as an evidence in the extreme case he refuses to draw another cheque). Anyways he cannot run away from the payment because it will reflect on his bank so don’t worry. Just try to peacefully settle the issue before it gets complicated.-

January 31, 2025 at 5:25 amIt was likely a cheque made to your name, probably account payee, so the chances of them encashing it are negligible until they open another account in your name. -

January 31, 2025 at 4:05 amAsk the buyer to reissue cheque. Cheque is not money, it is ‘bill of exchange’. It’s buyer’s obligation to pay.-

January 31, 2025 at 5:26 amOnly the person / institute named as payee can deposit the cheque in their account.
Still it will be prudent for the issuer to contact their bank and request a stop payment order. -

January 31, 2025 at 4:07 amIs it a cashiers check made out to your account and name? Go to the bank that issued it and ask them to stop payment on it. Also inform the buyer and seek his help. -

January 31, 2025 at 4:25 amin the future, do not accept a cheque. you need to get a Demand Draft, and obviously keep it safe!btw – could it be that the buyer arranged for the cheque to be “stolen”? If you suspect this, then lodge a complaint in the police station.

January 31, 2025 at 4:28 amThis is sane advice .A little story , we got a cheque when we sold property. Now we had presence of mind of get it encashed right away. The smartass seller had signed in english whereas his signature in bank were in hindi. Got saved lot of time and energy.
Ask him to give a DD this time .else get in touch with a lawyer, dont waste time

January 31, 2025 at 4:31 am1. In a property transaction, the seller should accept only a demand draft on registration of the property as cheque can bounce.
2. For the initial payments of token and advance, cheque may be accepted.-

January 31, 2025 at 5:51 amIsn’t the check details also mentioned in the sale Agreement?
I think there would be additional actions like getting the agreement updated once the new check is issued.
If you had an advocate who framed the agreement, then speak to him on the next steps.-

January 31, 2025 at 5:59 amThe cheque is important for transactions if u have done an agreement. If that cheque is not encashed the agreement can become void.
Also, was the cheque a/c pay? Ur name was there? Or was it a bearer cheque (that would be a stupid mistake.).-
UUser_d1b7fa20
OP
January 31, 2025 at 7:01 amThat was the bearer cheque I reconsider the buyer. He blocked the cheque. This time I am asking for payment in DD. I’m not going to repeat the mistake again

January 31, 2025 at 6:14 amUnless the cheque is a bearer cheque I don’t think it will be an issue. And if it is, you really need to reconsider the buyer lol -

January 31, 2025 at 6:22 amAs cheque issuer, I wonβt issue a new cheque unless you file a lost FIR and share a court notarized indemnity affidavit.
The story doesnβt pass the smell test and there are just too many scams in property sales.-

January 31, 2025 at 6:37 amIs this a hypothetical scenario because real estate transactions do not happen like the way you are describing.You dont sign over the property until their the full payment has been made into an escrow account, or a demand draft is handed over during signatures. Cheque is usually for advances or partial payments, in which case you can obviously ask the buyer for it again and ask them to cancel the existing cheque.

UUser_d1b7fa20
OP
January 31, 2025 at 6:57 amThat’s not hypothetical I don’t know much about how transactions are done in real estate. I had this issue and I got really panicked. But after talking to the buyer the issue got resolved. My mother is going again to the registration office for changing cheque details or for getting new documents. Definitely he cancelled the cheque
