Hurry, get a new cheque book!


Hurry, get a new cheque book!


Check your cheque status, only those in new format will be honoured from 1st January 2013
  



With the implementation of the new Cheque Truncation System (CTS-2010), you may not be able to use your old cheques from next year.

The new Cheque Truncation System (CTS-2010) will eliminate physical movement of cheques for clearing. Instead, only their electronic images, along with key information, will be captured and transmitted.

It will make the clearing process more efficient, secure and quicker.


Some transitory period, may be from 1st January 2013 to 31st March 2013, could be given during which both types of cheques will be accepted.


What you need to do

CHECK YOUR CHEQUE'S STATUS

If you have ordered your cheque books recently, say, a month ago, you may have already received CTS-compliant cheque leaves, since most banks have already migrated to the new system.

However, if you have received the cheque book more than two or three months ago, you need to run a status check. For instance, the compliant ones will have the new rupee symbol inscribed near the numerical 'amount' field.

The CTS-compliant cheque leaves will have the "Please sign above" mentioned on the cheque leaf on the right had side bottom; and, void pantograph (wavelike design) is embossed on the left hand side of the CTS cheque leaf.


GET YOUR OLD CHEQUE BOOKS REPLACED

If you haven't received the new form of cheque books already, speak to your bank immediately.

Banks will not charge any fee for replacing the old cheque leaves.

ISSUE NEW POST-DATED CHEQUES FOR EMIs

If you have issued post-dated cheques (PDCs) for your home or auto loan EMIs, you will have to issue fresh cheques.

For those of you who have opted for the ECS (electronic clearing system) mode for EMI payments the new system will not have any impact.

  3. Nice post! Cheque is an important means of payment. Cheque is used for paying a large sum of money. It is the most widely used tool for drawing money from the bank. Cheque is used by the buyer or debtor to pay the due amount of goods to his seller or creditor out of his bank deposit. Thanks.
