Hi
I am working as administrator in a corporate office. In our company there are four authorised signatories and mandatory given to bank is any two should sign the cheque whatever the amount may be. Out of four i am one of the authorised signatory Now the problem is i have signed a cheque of Rs.9.00lakhs which has bounced due to insufficient funds.
Here I want to know who is responsible when the cheque bounces. In any circumstances whether i am responsible because signature is mine
Awaiting for your valued reply

Hi,
Legally both the signatories are jointly and severally liable. But don't worry. Before procecuting you the other party has to issue you a legal notice claiming the amount. You can accept the liability (I mean your company) and make the payment.
