ONLINE LOAN

My online loan on IIFL was 2Lakh. I paid the first emi on time but I can't able to pay the second emi on time, they're saying , they will file a check bounce case against me and freeze my account and will make a complaint to cibil then I can't go to any job especially government job. I am an UPSC aspirant, please explain..
A.Failure to repay the loan makes the loanee liable to face legal consequences including a case under Sec.138 of N I Act for the dishonor of cheque issued by the loanee for repayment of a loan or under SARFAESI Act, 2002. So considering your career prospects, you should settle the matter with Bank ASAP.

A.Hello,
As per the information you have mentioned you dont need to worry much according to the negotiable instrument act under section 138 it clearly states that where any cheque drawn by a person on an account maintained by him with a banker for payment of any amount of money to another person from out of that account for the discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or other liability, is returned by the bank unpaid, either because of the amount of money standing to the credit of that account is insufficient to honour the cheque or that it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account by an agreement made with that bank, such person shall be deemed to have committed an offence and shall, without prejudice to any other provisions of this Act, be punished with imprisonment for 19 [a term which may be extended to two years], or with fine which may extend to twice the amount of the cheque, or with both: Provided that nothing contained in this section shall apply unless—
(a) the cheque has been presented to the bank within a period of six months from the date on which it is drawn or within the period of its validity, whichever is earlier;
(b) the payee or the holder in due course of the cheque, as the case may be, makes a demand for the payment of the said amount of money by giving a notice in writing, to the drawer of the cheque, 20 [within thirty days] of the receipt of information by him from the bank regarding the return of the cheque as unpaid; and
(c) the drawer of such cheque fails to make the payment of the said amount of money to the payee or, as the case may be, to the holder in due course of the cheque, within fifteen days of the receipt of the said notice.
