I know whoever have bank account might have came across these two words while writing cheque or interacting with the bank. But do you know the difference between these two and how and at what time one must opt for these two facilities of writing cheque?
Before proceeding further, first let us understand the parties involved in cheque transactions. There are mainly three parties involved in cheque transactions and are as below.
1) Drawer-He is a person who holds the account and has written and signing authority on cheque. Therefore, he issues cheques of his bank account. He is directing banks to pay a certain amount of money to the certain person or to the bearer of the cheque. Therefore, in simple words, you may say that a person who holds the bank account and who sign on cheque is called the drawer.
2) Drawee-Drawee is a party upon whom the cheque is written. The drawee is your bank. So drawer is giving instruction to drawee to pay an amount mentioned on the checque to the person named or to the bearer of the checque. When your bank follows the instruction and pay the cash to the person whose name mentioned on cheque or to the bearer of cheque then it is called as “cheque is honored”. If payment not done, then it is called “cheque dishonored”.
3) Payee-He is a person to whom the payment will be made. His name will be mentioned on cheque, so he is an authorized person to receive cash. So if drawer himself need to withdraw cash from his account using cheque then he need to write as SELF in the payable field of the cheque. In such case drawer himself becomes payee.
What is Crossed Cheque?
From above image, you notice how to change the normal cheque leaf into crossed cheque. Once you cross the cheque and mention the payee name (in above example, it is my name) then I can only encash this cheque by depositing to my Bank Account. However, do remember that in crossed cheque payee is free to make a further endorsement. For example, in the above example payee name is mine. Instead of cashing it to my bank account I can further endorse the cheque to anyone, for example to Mr. Satish by writing and signing on back of cheque leaf. Further Mr.Satish either can encash this cheque or he can endorse to someone, for example to Mr.Rohan by writing and signing on back of cheque leaf.
So by mere crossing you are no longer making payment to PAYEE ONLY. The payee can further endorse or cash it according to his wish. Also in case of dishonor of cheque (in the above example), Mr.Rohan can sue Mr.Satish and in return Mr.Satish to me and finally I can sue to the drawer of cheque.
What is Account Payee Cheque?
You notice that along with crossing two lines at the corner you also need to write as “A/C Payee Only”. If you do so, then one can’t endorse the same cheque to others. So in the above example, the cheque must be encashed by depositing to payee account (In the above example it is in my name). This makes secure payment to payee only, but any other third parties. This protects any misuse of cheque.
Best practices while writing a cheque-
In below image, I mentioned few best practices while writing cheque. Hope it will be helpful for you.

Yes, it will be cleared.
Dear sir,

Respected Sir,
If Mr A has account in a certain bank, he issue a cheque, in the pay to column write the name of someone else, say payee name B, signed himself on the front and back side of the cheque and instead of payee, present the cheque himself in his bank for cash payment and force the teller to write the name B, instead of Self, in the narration field, my question is ..is this correct. 2. When he has written the name of someone else can he himself be allowed to take cash? Kindly advise in such a situation what can a banker do?
Dear Pooja,
It is not allowed.
Dear sir
I have to transfer amount to a person who is residing in other than my place, if I issued cheque in favour of him and presented for cheque transfer will my bank accept it?

Dear Pradeep,
I am not getting your point. Can you elaborate more?
I have given a blank cheque to X just with signature, but contents are not filled. Cheque bounce case was filed on me, from the xerox given by court, I understood that contents in cheque are not hand written, but computer typed .
Computer typed contents are legal or illegal?
Can we really print these computer typed contents on original cheques??
Dear Sudhakar,
I am not sure how you handover the blank cheque. Yes, it is legal. As far as I know, there is no such rules of illegal if one wrote a cheque with computer typing.
Dear Basavaraj sir,

Dear Tony,
You can present it at South Indian Bank also.
Hello Basavaraj Tonagatti.
I did a favor for a family member by depositing a check that says: A/C Payee Only. The bank said they could not deposit it. They didn’t even know the reason why the system not letting the teller. They said the account holder had to come in person. Account holder has been sick thus me coming as a favor.
Do you know what is this about?
Thank you kindly in advance!
Dear Morella,
If the cheque is Account Payee, then what is the issue here? Let them give in writing.
Sir, please enlighten me that whether a crossed cheque with the words “& co” can be issued to individuals or person OR It can be issued only to non-individuals or firms…
Dear Srinivas,
It is for non individuals.
Hi Sir, i happen to get a rented vehicle last week from car rental vendor. He asked me for a cheque which i crossed at the left top corner and wrote a/c and then signed it with date and also wrote at the back side as car surity check. Which he didn’t return due to some reason. Is it risky? Or is it fine to let it go and relax? Please suggest!
Dear Avaze,
Who will check the backside of the cheque?
Hi sir,
I Give the Cheque to my wife but I signed only 1 front page it will be cashed or any problem
Dear Hameed,
Is it in the name of your wife? If so, then yes it will be encahsed by your wife.
Hi,
If ac payee cheque write some number on back side unfortunately , is cheque are wrong….???
Dear Anurag,
NO.
Hi Basavaraj -ji,
First off, thank you for the informative article.
I gave Mr X a cheque which I double crossed but didn’t write “A/C Payee only” as I was ignorant. Now on my records it shows that the amount is credited to Mr Y, which I think because he endorsed the cheque. Does this means that Mr X is not at all involved in this transfer, meaning as per the bank transaction is from me to Mr Y. If yes, is in it a loop hole for tax evasions and stuff like that.
Thank you
Sagar
Dear Sagar,
Don’t worry. The cheque is written in the name of Mr.X but not in the name of Mr.Y.
Thank you for the reply.
To be honest, this happen to me recently
I issued a cheque to Mr X and in my statement it is showing “To clearing FBL Mr Y + the cheque number”? Called the bank to enquire about it and they say it could happen if it is a joint account. uhmmm. not quite satisfied with the banks reply. Please throw some light
Best Regards
Ashok
Dear Sagar,
I think you no need to worry. Even if Mr.X claim that he not received the money, then you can show this transaction where he issued in return to Mr.Y by endorsing on cheque.
Hi sir
My name In bank account as Vinodkumar T
I received the cheque in the name of Vinod Kumar T

Dear Sir, I have received a CROSSED CHEQUE from Mr.X . The Cheque is of HDFC Bank. My Bank account is in SBI. The Words ” Account Payee” is not mentioned in the Cheque. Query- I want to endorse this cheque to Mr. A having Bank account in Vijaya Bank. Query- Sir, Can i endorse the Cheque received by Mr. X to Mr.A ?? Pls tell the procedure regarding this… Thanks a lot sir..
Dear Chirag,
It is better to endorse the same once the first party mention it account payee.
Dear Sir, If the first party mentions Account Payee on the cheque, then I will not be able to make any endorsement of Account Payee cheque. As now only Crossing is present on the cheque can I endorse the cheque ?? Pls clarify
Dear Chirag,
If only crossing is present, then YES.
Dear Sir, The Cheque contains 2 parallel line of Left Top corner of the cheque. Account Payee is not written in it . So, it is Crossing only. My query is- Pls tell whether ONLY name of the person to whom i want to endorse the cheque should be written on back of the cheque or any other detail also required ?
Dear Chirag,
Name of the person.

Dear sir,
Suppose I received a cheque from a customer of axis bank…a/c payee cheque to deposit in his account in our bank,,,say PNB
But due to some problems in clearing I returned him and told to ask axis bank to do neft from axis bank to our bank.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Dear Sambit,
Banks will not do NEFT on their own. The account holder has to give instruction to do NEFT from Axis Bank (his account) to PNB (Your account).
Hi,
I have a query regarding an A/C Payee cheque was issued in my name as on 31/03/2018 from LIC India issued under ICICI Bank but it has been already 3 and a half months from the issue date and i just got to know about the cheque, what will be my course of action if i want this amunt to be encashed.
Thanks and Regards,
SG
Dear Sayan,
You have to approach the LIC to reissue the cheque by surrendering the old one.
Sir, I got a cheque from my college in my name but I don’t have any bank account so how can I cash it..sir it is not a account payee cheque or a crossed cheque
Deepak-Then you can approach the bank and encash it by endorsing in front of the Bank Officials.
Sir,
What is the amount limit for non-crossed cheques? I have to pay a person Rs 10Lakh. I now have the money in my account and can give him a cheque. He is insisting to give cheque without account crossing or as cash. Is it fine to issue a non-crossed cheque to him? Also any consequence of withdrawing 10L and giving it to him in cash?
Regards,
Deepak
Deepak-As per my knowledge, there is no such limit. However, for safety purpose, it is always best to issue Account Payee Cheques only.
Dear Sir,
I received an order cheque and sent it through my friend for depositing into my account. My friend returned with the cheque and said the bank is asking for my signature on the back of the cheque or on the deposit slip. They even quoted Sec 6 of NI Act which states cheque is not expressed to be payable otherwise than on demand and a demand should be there in the form of signature as stated above.
Is my banker right in its approach ?
Kindly advise
Regasrds.
Sriniwas-But in many case banks allows other persons to deposit also easily. I am not sure why they are so rigid here.
Thanks for the reply. In this connection I even referred to the bank’s (SBI) cheque return memo and one of the reasons therein was ” Payee’s endorsement required” . And I think this may be a reason. And to my surprise the standard ch return memo of RBI too is having the same reason. Please advise.
Sriniwas-Surprising.
Hi sir I have received HSBC cheque from my company. Its A/c Payee only cheque. My name is mentioned in it. Should I need to go to any of HSBC branch to collect money or Can i drop that cheque in my HDFC bank for clearance?

Sir I went to bank for payment through cheque everything was correct except the date format. I used slash (/) in the date format and 2018 was written on the right side of the date format. The banker refuses me to give the payment from my own account. who was wrong in such case. Shall I write a complaint against that banker.
Niraj-You have all rights to complain. Go ahead.
I got a cheque from my company & in my cheque written a/c payee only so i know that why he write the a/c payee only tell me plz
Hamid-It is explained in above post. Please refer the same.
Can anyone else deposit/submit/encash my account payee cheque at another branch of same bank located in different city?
Abis-Yes.
But sir why? bcoz acc payee crossing of cheque means only that person can collect the cheque whose name is mentioned on tge cheque
Deepika-What I understood from his question is that he want to deposit the cheque in some other Bank branch of HIS but not others. If his question is to handover the cheque to OTHERS, then it is not possible. Maybe I was wrong while reading his full comment.
I found this for a specific search. Thanks for addressing this. My wife issued a Ac payee cheque to a General Insurance company towards her insurance premium. Within 2 days on a holiday, an sms notification from the bank came suggesting she has issued a cheque favouring some CCCCMS POOL AC NONUTI and if she has not issued she must inform the bank before 12.30. From the amount we knew it was the insurance, but the cheque was issued in favour of a major company and not the any pool account referenced. We frantically tried to contact the officials in the insurance company. As it was a holiday no one was available for a couple of hours. Then we got hold of one person who had in fact collected the cheque. He felt there was a high probability that it must have been a collection agency, as his company engages such an agency, but could not be absolutely sure. We let the opportunity for intervention go. On getting the passbook updated, we find the credit is in favour of the Pool account and the name of the insurance agency is no where to be found.
I asked the senior in charge at that time, and she simply responded if in doubt we should have responded to the sms notification with a stop instruction. The front end staff at the insurance company were unable to assure the payment has been received, and still asking us not to escalate the issue. The bank staff said escalate the issue in writing if you want and we will show a xerox copy of the cheque.
I am disturbed with these people and their attitude. If I issued a Cheque to A, they have no business crediting it to B, and recording it in my account statement. If A gave the cheque to B for collection, and bank honours B as A’s agent, that is between them. My record in my account statement should still say the payment is to the name of A. It can not reflect the name of B.
It so happened that when I finished my conversation with the bank, I got a message to the effect the insurance certificate arrived at my home. That the insurance co received the amount so soon, and despatched the certificate is surprising. It appears they have endorsed/ assigned the cheque to B, and went on to process the renewal application without waiting. While I appreciate such speed and behind the scene cooperation, I feel they are creating a problem to me in the future. The next time when a notification names a credit to a party other than the one we actually favoured, should we stop the payment or not? How are we to know A has assigned the instrument to B? How can a record exist in my account statement, that favours an unknown code, when our cheque was ‘account payee’to a specific company? Can such deviant process not lead to frauds?
Can you throw light on this?
Soman-I can understand your anguish. But when you wrote a cheque with “Account Payee” and also you received the receipt against the cheque payment, then I don’t think it is worrying factor.
I got a account payee check from my company (F&F) mentioned my name and my ICICI acc number in the PAY coloumn
they mentioned Ragavendra k p and a/c number 001010100 . but my name in my icici bank acc is Ragavendra kolar pratap , if i submit the check in my icici bank , will it be credited or not.
Gurudutt-In my view YES.
thank you basavaraj for your kind replay.

Nitika-Account Payee Cheques can’t be deposited in some others bank account.
If a company has only your name, has no information which is your bank and cheque is made on that basis only, no bank name, details or etc., can I still withdraw the money?
Mrunalini-Can you elaborate more?
Hi thanks for valuable information.
I have got a cheque on my name.it’s account pay cheque given by company.i don’t have any bank account.can i deposit the same cheque in some other person’s bank account having same name as mine? Nothing is changing. His name is “X Y”. On cheque the name is “X Y”.
Please awaiting your reply.
Karan-Why this exercise of risk than simply opening bank account and deposit in your own account.
I have a standard chartered cheque with a/c payee written whereas it also states that it is payable at any standard chartered branch.. cam i encash it or it’ll only go to the account?
Qurat-As per rule it will be credited to your account. Not sure about that particular bank rules. Check with them.
Sir, first of all, thank you for valuable information. What I wanted to know was that when I deposited an Account Payee Cheque from India Postal Accounts (SBI Cheque, Tiz Hazari), I forgot to mention the Account no. Of the drawer on the deposit slip of my bank (Canara Bank). Rest all the information was fulfilled. Will the cheque be cleared and my account credited in that case, as drawer account no. is already written clearly on the cheque itself…?
Kshitij-It may be. Let us wait.
Sir , I’m SK . my dad had written a cheque on my name but it had bounced as he slashed and re written the date. I didn’t give the cheque to my dad . when I asked him to write another cheque he says as per rule we should not write another cheque without receiving rejected cheque. Though I’m saying its with me ,he insists on taking his rejected cheque back then he issues a new one . of course he wrote another cheque now. But my doubt is shouldn’t he write another cheque without the first( rejected) cheque getting into his hands ??
SK-He said such LIE to protect himself. There is no such rule. It is his rule to keep him safe.
Thank you very much sir

Hi Basu,
I am reading your blogs for many days and it is really useful for new investors.
I have got a cheque which is not crossed(I got it from reliance insurance) and it says
PAY “my name” OR ORDER.
Can my father en-cash this cheque instead of me?
Thanks
Gajapathi-You have to endorse it by signing behind the cheque. The same can be encashed by your father.
Thank you Basu. Can the cheque be deposited to a dormant account(idle for more than 2 years) ?
Gajapathi-YES. However, if there are any penalty or anything dues, then they deduct from this deposited money. Hence, better you check the status of account with your bank and then proceed.

Thanking you.
Rupesh-If you make it account payee, then he has to deposit in his account.
Is it required/mandatory to sign at the back of an A/C payee check, will depositing it.
If Mr. X issues an A/c payee check to Mr. Y, can Mr. Z deposit it to Mr. Y’s branch in Mr. Y’s account without Mr. Y’s signature at the back.
Satya-YES.
Dear Sir,
My friend gave a cheque of Rs.1000rs via A/c payee ,Suppose if he don’t have the money in his account , cheque will bounced then how can I get that money to my account.
Is there any alternative ways are there Na..?~
Mallu-If cheque bounced, then you have to ask your friend but not bank.
Dear Sir,
My friend gave me a check with my first name and last name via A/c payee but in the bank passbook my name having first, middle as well as last name also .
Can I still withdraw that amount or not.
Mallu-Yes.
Hi Sir,

Hi Basavaraj,
I had issued a checque in name of Mr. Sham for RS 25000/- and submitted to ICICI bank .
Pay to was Sham Kumar with a/c number. This was a year back.
Now when i look into my icici bank statement , i am see that for this transaction , the amount was deposited to some different name – M R laboratories.
I am confused as to how can this happen.
I need a proof showing i had issued the checque to Mr Sham Kumar .
Please guide me to get this details.
I dont have check deposited slip with me right now. also i dont know the a/c number of the payeee.
Vikas-First check whether the person to whom you have to pay the cheque endorsed the same to someone else or not. Then ask the bank.
Can a DD issued in the name of X be encashed by Y? Can the X endorse his DD to be encashed by Y?
Ram-Mr.X can endorse and give it to Y only if the DD issues is less than Rs.20,000. More than Rs.20,000 DDs will be issued only as Account Payee.
Dear Basavaraj, Thanks for creating a great reference on this topic and answering reader’s questions. Here is my question.
I think due to space limitations my grandfather (now passed away) had put my name with last name initialized in some bonds when I was minor. I received a cheque from ICICI which has my surname as initial (it has full firstname and middle name) followed by UG my grandfather’s name followed by Canara Bank Account WXYZ. The cheque is issued by ICICI with remark “a/c payee only”.
I opened an account in ICICI but the account has my full name (first name then middle name and last name).
Please recommend the right way to endorse the cheque and submit to ICICI bank for deposit. Please note there is no ICICI where I currently live and I will be sending this cheque with friend to be deposited into ICICI to my account.
Thank you so much
Sonam-First try with a simple drop of a cheque through your friend. If they reject the cheque, then you have to produce the proper proof and a letter to validate that both names are one and same.
Dear Basavaraj,
The cheque issued by ICICI was dropped through my friend in Belgaum ICICI over the counter and got a counterfoil of savings deposit slip with bank stamp (transfer) and my account number on it. There was no issue or rejection at that time. However even after 2 weeks the credit to ICICI savings account or any communication from icici did occur. ICICI customer service says there is no record of it and to contact branch. I will find branch details and contact them.
I cannot really travel to Belgaum. The cheque deposited had my account number, PAA and contact numbers on back below my endorsement. ICICI also has my email address to inform me. Does such disappearance of deposits happen without any intimation to the account holder? What do you recommend I do?
Thanks again.
Sonam-Why can’t you approach the nearest ICICI Branch with receipt and show them that and discuss what went wrong? If still, you will not satisfy, then you have proof of the receipt of deposit. You can use the said steps HERE.
I Have a post office account payee cheque with my after marriage surname. But my bank account is in my maiden name. Could you please let me know whether the same cheque can be deposited into one of my friends account with the same name as mentioned on my cheque. What is the bank clearance procedure???
Vidya-Is it possible that your after marriage surname and name matches with one more person?
A owes B Rs. 5 lakhs. A draws a crossed cheque for this amount in favour of B. A dies and the cheque is afterwards found among his papers. Now B gets this cheque and claims payment. Will B succeed? Give reason.
Vikas-If there is a balance in A’s account.
Dear Tonagatti,
Please elaborate as its not clear from this reply of yours.
Anand-If there is a balance in account, account is active and the date of cheque nor elapsed, then the B can encash the cheque.
sir, I received two DD of Axis bank of rs 15000 from my college in the name of my father. In the middle of the DD it is written a/c payee only. I reside in Delhi and my father’s bank account is in SBI uttarakhand. How can I deposit the amount to my father’s account?

HI Basavaraj,
I want to invest 3 lakhs rupees.Please can tell me were to invest I want safe and good returns.
my AGE IS 37
Shivraj-Without knowing the tenure, how can I guide you?
if its long term for 10 years also I am fine sir.
Shivaraj-Don’t say so. Define your goals properly then arrive at product selection and asset allocation.
what is the inference if :
1) signature is made by payee in back side and front side of a cheque
2) Also, cheque is crossed front side by 2 lines
if these 2 conditions are met and cheque is in for some other name.
Raj-It is crossed cheque and he endorsed behind the cheque also means this cheque can be given to others also. Refer the above post properly and I explained the same.
I have been issued a Payee Account Cheque by Post Office, Moga Punjab. This cheque is CTS 2010 cheque. I am having my account in Maharashtra Bank, Chandigarh. I presented my cheque in my Maharashtra Bank at Chandigarh. But the bank refused the cheque stating the reason “Present in proper Zone”. Now the bank has asked me to present the Cheque at Moga, Punjab as the cheque has been issued by Post Office Moga.
Kindly help, whether CTS 2010 cheque can be returned by the Bank stating it to be issued by the Post Office which is in Moga. Is there any way out to get this cheque encashed at Maharashtra Bank, Chandigarh.?
Ashish-Strange…I don’t think they can do so. Ask them for written reply.
I have given a cheque in the post office as per there suggestion in the name I have written post master rajajinagar 10 at the back side I have written my name and a/c number .Will the amount will be deposited to my sb account in post office as I am transferring the money from hdfc to post offce sb accpunt.
CHeque got cleared from hdfc and its sent to cts Chennai. How many days it will take to transfer the amount to my sb account in post office
while deposing in the vochure I have given my name and s/b a/c number
Shivaraj-I am not sure about Post Office process. However, the payee name should be your account number or your name. Check with postal officials for the same.
HI Basavaraj,
The cheque is cleared and money is deposited into my account.
Thx for the help. Wanted to inform you about this one.
Shivaraj-Great to know and thanks for update.

You can not encash the cheque even in case of crossed cheque, it has to go to payee account only.
Ajay-Can you provide any reference?
Hi Basu
There is no reference Basu, what i mean to say is you can not take cash at the counter. even if its is endorsed, it will go to endorsee account.
Ajay-Thanks for updates. Let me search for any reference in this connection.

what is the meaning of crossed to two banks – No. 60?
Pradeep-Where it is mentioned with that number?
It is mentioned in the cheque return memo please. Actually the cheque return memo states the reason for dishonour as “contact the drawer/drawee bank”. However at the below of the cheque return memo, the concerned officer of the bank has written ‘no. 60’ as well…
Pradeep-It may be their own code. Check with bank.
Thanks. However, if we look at the list of cheque return reasons in google, then it throws out 92 reasons. I am not sure if these reasons are approved b RBI….
Pradeep-That is the reason I pointed to check at Bank level.
Sure. Thanks….

I have 2 questions…am a student..so while solving papers I noticed some questions..
First one validity of cheque – 3 month or 6 month?
Second one is what kind of crossing is a/c payee cheque – general cross, special cross , or restrictive crossing ? …..plz answer this …
Rajid-1) 3 months. 2) Special or Restrictive crossing.
No no the second question’s option was like – 1. General crossing 2.special crossing 3. Restrictive crossing…and thanks for helping..and thank u sir.. One more thing cheque can be crossed by – 1 Drawer 2 Holder 3 bank 4 All of them….this one,is a bit confusing for me..
Rajib-1) When you use A/C Payee option then you restrict to deposit into the account of Payee only. So this can be special as well as restrictive. I am not sure about what option you select. The drawer has the authority to cross the cheque.
Okk …thank u ?…I was thinking ab re all of the above

Sir, One person has filled my name in a cheque and cashed in through his known person, although i was also in the bank on that date.
Now he has filed a false case against me u/s 138 NI Act.
I am shocked.
Pawan-It is your negligence which they are cashing. I can’t say anything on this matter.
Sir, The cheque was not mine, it was his cheque upon which he filled my name and presented for payment.
I have not put any signature or thumb impression etc. on the cheque.
The bank “The Yamuna Nagar Central Cooperative Bank Ltd. Yamuna Nagar” is close to the office of the person who has filed the false case against me.
Sir my humble question is :
Can bank do that a person fills anybody name in the cheque and take payment at his own and files a case against the person whose name is filled as payee?
Is it required that the payee should be ascertained by the bank?
Sir, please guide me.
Pawan-If the cheque is not in your name and you not signed on behalf of you to endorse the same, then why you have to worry? Let he file the case. I think something fishy in this case.
Dear Sir,

Navdeep Goud (Axis Bank A/C no. 1234.. 1234.1234…1234)
1. can i encash it at sbi home branch by producing my ID like adhar or Driving Licence? or even showing my axis bank passbook there?
2. or is it mandatory to deposit it in my axis bank branch? And in case of deposit, when will it be credited to my axis account. I think it will be considered as a local cheque.
i have axis bank account in kukatpally area only.
Kard-1) In my view you can’t encash immediately as it is different bank cheque.
2) Check with bank.

I submit cheque of rs 50000 to Raji Bisht A/c Indian bank), but received message that your account has been debited to Rajhans industries. what s/d I do now.
Neetu-Cheque with Bank.
My father is 85 year old. He cannot go to bank to withdraw pension. He also does not want to use ATM. He issues an uncrossed cheque (for Rs 10,000) writing pay to ‘self’. He signs cheque and also signs over back of cheque, I (Rajiv) also sign over back of cheque. I go to bank to withdraw Rs 10,000/- and give it back to my father after coming home. The lady of bank, when she gives money and makes entry in passbook through computer, she writes ‘paid to Rajiv’. I tell her to write ‘paid to self’ i.e. (my father’s name) as it is actually my father who is getting money, not me. Secondly, if she shows in records that money was paid to me (Rajiv), then it will be counted as my income and I will have to pay tax on it whereas it is actually not my income and it is being given back by me to my father (The amount is not a gift to me, so not tax free). The lady of bank does not agree with this argument. She says since she is giving it to me (Rajiv), she will write ‘paid to Rajiv’. She is right or me?
Rajiv-By mentioning as SELF and signing at both side of cheque, this now bearers cheque. Whoever present the cheque in bank, he will get the cash. So, bank have no option but to write who collected. Also, by mere her mention in your father’s passbook will not change your income status. Bank is acting as per rule.
Sir, Thanks for reply. Sir, suppose my father writes Rajiv instead of writing self (and all other parameters remaining same), then will this 10,000/- be counted as my income and become taxable for me?
Rajiv-Technically YES. But hard to find by taxman.

Arun-Check with your bank.
Can you tell me whether a bank can honour a check if youve only mentioned Pay to A/c No:_____ without mentioning a name to pay to. Also if an incorrect account number was indeed mentioned and the bank transfers the funds to that specific account(which is also valid), the party receiving the funds in their account immediately withdraws or transfers the money to his family bank accounts, and when the bank questions him he says he has no idea what they are talking abt, what can be done in such a scenario. Is there any way to sort this out?
Glen-It is the fault of drawer. So no one to blame, neither bank nor the party received it.
sir,
I recieved a cheque in which the drawer is Axis Bank and pay is written as ” PNB Pampore, A/c M/s Bhat Enterprises”.
I Presented the cheque to J&K Bank, NB Branch and the amount the credited into my account. Now the PNB has raised the issue that the collecting Bank has acted in a dubious manner and asked the collecting Bank to reimburse the amount. Please adsive.
Jawid-What they pointed to justify that collecting bank acted in dubious manner?
PNB alleges that the collection made is patently against the tenor of the instrument. PNB further alleges that the collection is not only questionable as per the set banking pratice but even fradulant in nature.
Jawaid-What breach of tenure if the cheque is within 3 months?
PNB alleges that J&K Bank is not a collection Bank and the Cheque was to be collected at PNB ands as such J&K Bank has committed a Fraud.
Jawaid-If JK Bank not authorised to collect, then how the amount was disbursed?
Excellent Blog sir, I wish to ask one question. My father has received an A/C Payee cheque in his name from an insurance company but he does not have a savings account or any other account in his name. Should I open a savings bank account in his name and deposit the cheque or should I have it discounted from a local cheque discounter I know?. Is it possible to discount an a/c payee cheque?
Abhi-The best and legal way is to open account and deposit. I am not sure of on which base these discounting businessmen work.
Hello,
I have a general question here. When people applies for a loan, the banks are asking empty checks with only signed and To field written on it, but without amount and date mentioned. So does not it mean, that we are giving a chance to the bankers to write any amount and deposit ? if they write more money on check and deposit it will be bounced. so will not be legal issue ? first of all is it not legal to ask blank checks as security deposit ?
what precautions we need to take care when such parties asks checks for security purpose ?
Prakash-Never give blank cheque without mentioning the amount, date and payee name.

hello sir,
i have deposited IndusInd Bank cheque (uncrossed) in SBI bank, while filling the Pay in slip, i have given all the details right, except for the account number written in the pay in slip, last 3 digits where miss-typed ( for 529, i typed 259). but the cheque was in my name, pay in slip has my name and phone number. i just realized yesterday that money got transferred from Indusind bank on 22nd March itself, when inquired in Indus bank they told that money was transferred in the Name of Mr. Thirumoorthy.
I called SBI to check if the Account number which i have written is valid or in Valid, they told me that the account number is invalid. while Calling Phone banking , they assk for the account number/ debit card number, when i give my actual account number it takes me inside for further options, when i type the wrong account number its telling me invalid account number.

Hi Basavaraj Tonagatti,
What does it mean when someone asks me for a blank Crossed cheque for making payment to my bank account through RTGS? Where do I get a blank crossed cheque?
Vijay-It is a normal cheque crossed and mentioned that CANCELLED. They can’t use it for any transactions. But can fetch account information.
Can I myself draw two lines and write CANCELLED in between on a cheque and give it to the concerned person, so that he can use my account information to make payment to my account?
Vijay-YES, YOU HAVE TO DO LIKE THAT ONLY. Don’t handover blank cheques.
Thank you Basavaraj for your time and valuable information.

Dear sir, I request you to please give me advice.
One of my known has lodged a case under section 138 against me. The case is in district court of indore. My advocate has to give answer on next date against his complaint. Case details are as follows:
1. I had issued two cheques (saving a/c) of 50000/- each to Mr.A in 2010 as gaurantee because of regular credit deals of electric goods. Every deal was paid in cash with in 15-30 days in cash and the deals were without bills.
2. Both the cheques were without payee name and without date. Even not crossed a/c payee.
3. In 2012 Mr.A gave the cheques to his friend Mr.B and Mr.B presented the cheques in his current a/c by filling his firms name and date. Between 2010 and 2012 my as I did’t operated my a/c it became inoperative/dormant.
4. In court, as a supporting document Mr.B presented a photocopy of fake bill with a fake signature of mine as receiving of material. Mr.A is mentioned as an evidence in case file.
5. On last court date, Mr.B requested CJM that carbon copy of that bill had been misplaced by him and since original copy of bill is with accused pl. order him to present original copy.
6. Mr.B is unknown to me and I never had any deal with him in past.
Pl. guide me. This case is a mental torture to me. I am unknown of court proceedings.
Devendra-I am not legal expert in this matter. Please consult a lawyer.
Sir, Simple. You are already contending that the bill is fake, Then how the court can ask you bring the origional. Tell the court to bring the carbon copy & send it to the forcenic department. If this do not work out do this. WHEN he has billed he should have declared it to the sales tax autorities, paid taxes. you ask them to produce the sales tax filed copies/ annexeres to prove that he had really billed at least, second ask him to show thr transporter who had moved the goods, his Lorry receipts / payment received for freight etc, which also could prov that he jad really supplied. In the absence of these , by simply tellin that he had supplied – it cannot be counted. Tell your lawer to argue on these lines.

Can I deposit the check in my name in my SBI account as my mother presently don’t have account and validity of the check may expire.
Prakash-No, you can’t deposit her cheque into your account. Why can’t you open an account in your mother’s name?
The cheque took lot of time from State Bank of Hyderabad to come to our hand and now in a weeks time it is going to expire. Can my mother encash the cheque or there is no way to get the money mentioned in cheque before cheque expiry date.
Prakash-If the cheque is going to expire soon, then the first thing you have to do is to request the concerned person to re-issue the cheque by surrendering the old one. Once you receive that, then open bank account and encash.

I am a principal of school and today i wrote a cheque in favor of a principal of another school. That principal sent a peon to receive the cheque. the peon told me that he would go to directly to the bank to get that money. I forgot to write A/c payee .
what would bank do? will the bank give cash to the peon or deposit the cheque in to the payees account?
Raj-If the cheque is in favor of principal, then bank request for his signature. Without that they will not allow peon to encash, as he is not the person to whom you wrote a cheque.

sir, if A& B has a joint account – if A receives a crossed cheque -Acan deposit the cheque. similerly Bcan also deposit. How ever for removing the money -what you have written to bank 2 the time of opening will matter. If you would have written EITHER OR- means any of A or B can draw the amount. Or if you would have written both – then in the cheque both A& B has to sign ,then only it will be honoured.

Aatish-You can deposit in SBI.
i got a a/c payee cheque can i get direct cash from it?
Prateek-No.
Sir, you can get the amount in your bank where you hold the account . You should be know to the branceh manager, then he may partly or even fully will allow you to draw. on his authority ( but you cannot insist ) If the cheque is from GOVT , or demand draft it will be easy & they will not hesitate. If cheque is from the same brance, or if the party is knw to the manager also it may not have difficulty.
But it all depends on the manager of your bank

Hi its me s.hussain
I would like to know that i got a chk frm our compny ..i hv deposoted to the bank sbi
Bt after one week they dnt relase the money ..whn i contact the bank they told me i m not getting ur chk ..there is no record ….they sugessting me that contact ur compny and tell them to issue a new cheque
So is it possble compny will issue a new chk ??
Saddam-I think they missed the cheque. If you have any proof then submit otherwise request your company to issue new cheque.
sir, first pl try to dig the counter foil of the cheque. if you cannot retrive at least try to get the cheque number, first infor m the person who gave you the cheque, to inform his bank that the cheque is LOST. Then ask your party to issuea new cheque toyou. But generally banks charge a small amount 50 to 300 rs for this. It will be charged to the person who gave you the cheqyue,in turn he may charge you.

Hi ,
This is good site with lot of clarifications. I need a clarification, I got a A/c payee cheque with my wife’s name (Name printed at Pay). I wrote my name at back of the cheque by mistake instead of my wife’s name and dropped into bank collection box. That cheque got returned with message “Instrument contains extraneous matter”
Is that the reason that cheque returned. What should I do now.
Thanks in advance,
Ratnakar.
Ratna-I don’t think writing your name on back of cheque is reason for rejection of depositing. However, check with your bank for the reason.

Very nice blog!
i worked in one company. unprofessionally i laft that job.when i was working there. i got PDC crossed cheque(account payee ) on company’s name by customer. i kept in office only.but now that is not found. that company MD telling that cheque theft by me.but i not taken the cheque. he have right to take legal action on me.
Murali-He may take the action on you for misplacing it or in some other cases. However, try to convince him that it is account payee cheque and the cheque amount is safe.
but he getting new cheque Also from that customer.customer did stop payment for old cheque. i think i am safe now ?

I have a crossed cheque in my wife name and she did not have any account.
Can I withdraw it to my account ? I f possible , then how can I do this?
Sushovan-No, You can’t withdraw it.
You can if A/c payee isn’t mentioned across lines. Your wife need to endorse you at back.
I also wanted to know I issued a cheque to a person on her name.. I didn’t marked the cross sign on the cheque.. can the person withdraw the amount using my cheque..
Bank said they can’t issue the payment .. I should have written self on the cheque..
One more thing I signed on both the side of the cheque..
Rohit-Yes, she can. Because by producing the proper ID Proof, she has all rights to withdraw. Because the payee name is written in her name.
Dear sir
This is my first time i have read your blog. Your words are easily understandable and thanks for helping us.
I have a one query that………….. if i written a payee’s name and a/c no. in place of pay space, this is wrong or may correct or it will be workable. means i have to transfer to payee’s a/c for NEFT through bank. Bank will be do this for me or it will be cancel. and everything is correct like date, a/c no., sign, amount.
If u reply me i will be very thankful.
Romen-It will be acceptable (I think only in case where your account and the Payee account within same bank).
Hello sir,
I had an Axis bank account which I closed recently. I had withdrawn the remaining amount from the SB account. Now, I have got an account payee cheque from the bank for a small amount. My name is written on the cheque.
Since I am a bit embarassed to go to the bank for such a small amount, can I drop the cheque in ATM (which has a drop-in box) and direct them to transfer the amount to my other bank account (HDFC or BOB)
Acpayeecheque-Simpel solution, drop the Axis Bank Cheque in your HDFC Bank. They collect it from Axis. How can you say Axis to transfer the amount to HDFC or BOB? They will not do as your account already closed with them.
Thanks a lot for the solution and prompt reply.
And really informative webpage. Topics covered are very relevant and explained in simple terms.
Thanks again.
Regards.
Dear sir,
I went Yesterday on 12 th march 2015 to ICICI bank kavuri hills, hyderabad of my boss account . I have dropped two cheques (account payee cheques). but today my boss has a call that the account number is only 10 digits in stood of 12 digits.
what was the rule if the account number I entered was wrongly but the number is very similar(near) to my boss account but 2 digits were missing. does the account payee cheques will be transferred to my boss account or it will be back to us.
The account is existing from last 15-20 years.
I have a question please clear the doubts of mine.
I want your replay
thank you
Regards
Pavani
Pavani-It will be back to your boss.
Dear sir
Thank you for your information.
I am not agreed with this whenever our Company’s Chartered accountant persons told me this
while some auditing work was done.
At present I am sure he is correct.
Thanks once again.
Raveendran-Pleasure 🙂
loving your website, the way you explain is simple language and understandable. good work. i will promote this webpage to my friends too.
Srinivs-Pleasure 🙂
Enlightening stuff … thanks a lot the information, Basavaraj.
One question though…
I may issue a crossed cheque a Mr. X, and it gets stolen by Mr.Y.
Y can sign for X on the back of the cheque and deposit into his account?
How does my bank ensure the endorsements are valid? Do they call and check?
Vijay-When you cross the cheque then no matter who deposited, it will reach to your target person. So even if some other person like Mr.Y stole, it still be safe right?
So if I give u a crossed cheque and you lost it, and the person who got it can sign it as if it was endorsed by you for him and he can deposit it into his account?
I will not be responsible for your loss?
Vijay-Whether you are asking me mere crossed cheque or account payee? If it mere crossed then definitely it is your loss. I think something different as account payee cheque and a person who stolen a cheque depositing into account to whom you endorsed. But if the person who lost cheque complain about lost then the cheque transaction can easily be tracked. No run away.
This is the first time I am reading your blog. This is very informative and your words are very simple and easily understandable. Nice post. We are expecting more like this..
Ashok-Pleasure to know that 🙂
Very Informative to financial layman like me. Thanks
Anbu-Pleasure 🙂
Very informative Basavaraj. I wasn’t aware of the difference between a Crossed Cheque and an A/c Payee Only Cheque, though I have always used the latter. Not sure if anyone really provides a Crossed Cheque given to oneself to a third party, as people always deposit even Crossed Cheques into their a/c and issue a Crossed / A/c Payee cheque to a new drawee. But, in this e-age, have known many people preferring NEFT / RTGS over physical cheques. I don’t even recollect when I used a cheque last, as NEFT & RTGS are faster and cheaper than procuring a chequebook (most Banks charge a/c holders Rs. 100+ for chequebooks), courier cost, etc. Wish RBI would give incentives to Banking customers for using Internet & Mobile Banking. Would curb black money flow, and money laundering too.
Ramesh-Thanks for sharing your view 🙂
Dear sir I have lost the cheques received by me from the parties with whom I deal in my business, all the cheques were ac payee, can anyone encash them or misuse them
Dear Harshit,
If they are account payee and your name is mentioned on that as Payee, then none can misuse. However, for safety purpose, request the issuer of cheque for stop payment option.
Useful info
Nagarajan-Thanks 🙂
