With that purpose, Sec.138 to 142 were inserted by Banking Public Financial Institutions and Negotiable Instruments Clause (Amendment) Act, 1988. This was done by making the drawer liable for punishments in case of bouncing of the cheque due to insufficiency of funds with adequate safeguards to prevent harassment of an honest drawer.
