Recent update in Rajpal Yadav's ₹9 crore debt case

Rajpal's long-running cheque-bounce and debt case saw another development on September 15, when the Supreme Court gave him a final two-week opportunity to arrange ₹2 crore towards the outstanding dues. The court also extended his exemption from surrendering until October 5, when the matter is scheduled to be heard again.

The case relates to a financial dispute dating back to 2010, when Rajpal and his associates reportedly received ₹5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to finance his directorial film Ata Pata Laapata. The dispute subsequently led to seven cheque-bounce cases after cheques issued towards repayment were dishonoured.

In July 2026, the Delhi High Court upheld Yadav's conviction in the seven cases and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment in each case. He had earlier spent time in Tihar Jail in connection with the matter before receiving interim relief. The Supreme Court had initially granted him temporary protection from surrender on September 8, subject to him depositing ₹5 crore with its registry. However, during the September 15 hearing, his lawyer told the court that Yadav had been unable to arrange the required amount and sought additional time. The court subsequently allowed him two weeks to arrange ₹2 crore and directed him to surrender his passport.
