How a cancelled cheque looks like

A cancelled cheque looks like a regular cheque leaf but is marked to make it invalid for financial transactions. It typically features two parallel diagonal lines drawn across the face of the cheque, with the word CANCELLED written in capital letters between them. While it cannot be used to withdraw funds, it remains an essential document because key banking details such as the account holder's name, account number, IFSC code, MICR code, and bank branch information remain clearly visible for verification purposes.
