Keep cheque book in a secure place. Do not leave your cheque book unattended.
Whenever you receive your cheque book, please count the number of cheque leaves in it. If there is a discrepancy, bring it to the notice of the Bank immediately.
Record all details of cheques issued.
If you close your account, shred any unused cheque leaves.
Do not sign blank cheques or cheques written by others. Always fill in the date, the name of the receiver and the amount yourself before signing the cheque.
Always use your own pen to protect yourself from “Magic Ink Pen” (Scam where the ink disappears after some time). Avoid making changes, instead issue a new cheque.
Always draw a line through the unused space on the cheque leaf.
