A cheque from Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the country's richest sportstars, has bounced, and that too for a payment of Rs 645.
The cheque, dated March 15, 2011, was paid to the Ranchi Municipal Corporation. Dhoni had issued the cheque to pay taxes on an apartment that he owns in Ranchi, his hometown.
The cheque has now been returned to the State Bank of India due to lack of sufficient funds.
However, the authorities said Dhoni, who paid more than Rs 1 crore as income tax and is considered one of the highest tax payers in the state, will not be penalised for the bounced cheque.
