How does a cancelled cheque look like

A cancelled cheque is a standard cheque leaf that has two parallel diagonal lines drawn across it with the word CANCELLED written in capital letters between them. It serves as a non-monetary document used for verification rather than payment. Key visual features include:
  • The word CANCELLED prominently displayed in the center.
  • Two parallel lines crossing the face of the cheque.
  • Visible bank details such as the account number, IFSC code, MICR code, and bank branch name.
  • The absence of a signature, date, or payee name to prevent misuse.
