When this mode of payment gained popularity, there have been instances where the checks have been dishonoured or bounced, preventing the payee from receiving payment for the goods or services they provided. It was subsequently realised that this act of dishonoured or returned checks ought to be criminalised. As a result, inadequate funds in the drawer's account led to the criminalisation of writing checks in 1988. The Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881, an old British legislation, was mo to make such an offence a criminal.
