How many digits in cheque number

In India, a cheque number consists of 6 digits. It is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every cheque leaf in a chequebook to track and differentiate financial transactions. You can find this 6-digit number in the following locations:

• The bottom-left corner of the cheque leaf, where it is printed in magnetic ink as the first part of the MICR line.
• The top-right corner of the cheque leaf in many bank formats.

This number is essential for recording payments in your passbook and tracking the clearing status of the cheque.
