Generally, you can only deposit a cheque into a branch or ATM of the bank where you hold an account. However, if the cheque is marked "Payable at Par," you can deposit it at any branch of your own bank nationwide. Most Indian banks also provide:
- Cheque Deposit Kiosks and ATMs for 24/7 deposits at their own locations.
- Mobile Banking Apps that allow depositing cheques digitally by scanning them.
- Drop-box facilities at various branches and ATM lobbies for convenience.
Always ensure the cheque is properly endorsed with your signature and account details.
