About this statute

This provision says Chapter V of the payment system law is amended. A person who fraudulently causes funds, cash instruments, or discharge to be given using a bill linked to a nonexistent or unauthorized person commits an offence. Knowingly issuing a bouncing cheque is an offence and can lead to imprisonment and a fine. Anyone who runs a payment system or issues payment instruments without a Central Bank license, gives false information, or obstructs audits commits an offence. Companies and similar legal-person entities can be treated as committing an offence under this law, and a court may fine them, or order liquidation, after conviction.
