Question

dos and donts while writing a cheque

Answer 1

Always fill up the cheque yourself

Cancel the words ”or bearer” & write ”A/c payee” on the top-left corner to avoid cheque misuse

Write ”only” after amount in words and put ”/-” after the amount in numbers

Write clearly and legibly & always use permanent ink pens such as a ball pen in blue or black colour

Sign only in space provided above the ’name of the account holder’ or ’authorized signatory’ fields

Sign clearly to ensure the cheque is not bounced due to mismatch in the signature

Strike through unused space in the name and amount fields to avoid any unauthorized additions    Don’ts

DONT's

Do not leave wide blank spaces in fields like payee name, amount in words and numbers

Do not overwrite, scribble, cancel or rewrite on a cheque
