Bounced cheque consequence checker
Free UAE calculator. Post-2022 reforms decriminalised most bounced cheques but kept fines and partial-payment obligations.
Partial payment
AED 30,000
Remaining due
AED 20,000
Criminal
No
- The bank must pay the available balance and stamp the cheque "Partially Paid".
- The unpaid portion is enforceable as an executory instrument — payee can apply to the execution court for direct collection without a separate civil suit.
- Civil interest typically accrues at 9% from the date of refusal.
- Without fraudulent intent, the case is civil only post-2022 — no automatic criminal action.
