Limitation Calculator

Find the deadline to file a suit, appeal, or complaint — under the Limitation Act 1963, Consumer Protection Act 2019, or the Section 138 cheque-bounce timeline.

1. General limitation period

Pick the closest matching category, then enter the date the clock started.

2. Cheque bounce timeline (Section 138 NI Act)

This is a 3-step process, not a single deadline — filled in as you know more dates.

Date your bank returned the cheque unpaid (dishonour memo)

Date you sent the legal demand notice (optional)

Date the drawer received the notice (optional — this is what actually starts the 15-day clock, not the send date)

Informational tool, not legal advice. Limitation-period rules in this calculator are transcribed from the official Limitation Act 1963 Schedule text (India Code) and the Consumer Protection Act 2019. Courts examine limitation strictly and can raise it even if no one argues it — always confirm against the current bare act, and consult an advocate before relying on any date shown here for a filing.
