To fill a cheque correctly, follow these key steps using a permanent pen for security:
- Write the date in the top right corner using the format DD/MM/YYYY.
- Write the full name of the payee (person or business) on the line that says "Pay to the order of."
- Write the amount to be paid in words starting from the far left, followed by the word "Only" to prevent alteration (e.g., "Rupees One Thousand Five Hundred Only").
- Write the amount in numbers in the box beside the amount in words, ensuring it matches the written amount (e.g., "1,500.00").
- Sign the cheque on the bottom right using the signature registered with your bank.
Additional tips:
- Use a non-erasable pen.
- Fill all spaces completely to avoid tampering.
- Double-check all details for accuracy.
- Avoid overwriting or using damaged cheques.
This method ensures secure, clear, and valid cheque payments.
