Accepted Answer

Additional prints are available on a pay-per-use basis, or you can upgrade to a higher plan at any time.

Question 12

How long is a cheque valid in India?

Accepted Answer

A cheque is valid for 3 months from the date written on it. After that it becomes a stale cheque and the bank will not honour it.

Question 13

What is a crossed cheque (A/C Payee)?

Accepted Answer

A crossed cheque has two parallel lines on the top-left and cannot be cashed over the counter — it must be deposited into a bank account. Marking it 'A/C Payee' means only the named payee's account can receive it.

Question 14

What is the difference between a bearer and an order cheque?

Accepted Answer

A bearer cheque can be encashed by anyone holding it. An order cheque (with 'bearer' struck off) can only be paid to the named payee or someone they endorse it to, making it safer.

Question 15

What is a post-dated cheque (PDC)?

Accepted Answer

A post-dated cheque carries a future date and can only be deposited on or after that date. It is commonly used for EMIs and rent.

Question 16

What is a banker's cheque?

Accepted Answer

A banker's cheque (pay order) is issued by a bank on a customer's behalf. The amount is debited upfront, so it is guaranteed and cannot bounce. It is usually payable within the same city.

Question 17

What is MICR code on a cheque?

Accepted Answer

MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) is the special magnetic number printed at the bottom of a cheque that identifies the bank and branch and speeds up cheque clearing.

Question 18

How do I fill a cheque correctly?

Accepted Answer

Write the date, payee name, amount in words (ending with 'Only'), amount in figures (matching the words exactly), and sign as registered with your bank. Avoid overwriting.

Question 19

What happens if a cheque bounces?

Accepted Answer

A cheque bounces when there are insufficient funds or a signature/amount mismatch. The bank levies a penalty, and cheque dishonour can have legal consequences under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

Question 20

What is a self cheque?

Accepted Answer

A self cheque is one you write to yourself (payee = 'Self') to withdraw cash from your own account. Treat it like cash — never pre-sign blank self cheques.
