In India, a cheque bounce case can affect your passport application if you have an outstanding warrant or a non-bailable warrant against you in connection with the case.
When you apply for a passport, the police conduct a background check on you, which includes checking for any outstanding warrants or non-bailable warrants against you. If such a warrant is found, your passport application may be put on hold until the warrant is cleared.
It is important to note that even if a case is pending in court, it will not affect your passport application as long as there is no warrant against you. However, if an arrest warrant has been issued in your name, your passport application will be put on hold. It is advisable to clear the warrant before applying for a passport or seek legal counsel for further advice.
It is also important to note that if you are convicted under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, it may affect your passport application as well as your ability to travel internationally.
