How to create a cancelled cheque

To create a cancelled cheque, follow these simple steps:

• Take a fresh, unused cheque leaf from your chequebook.
• Draw two parallel diagonal lines across the face of the cheque using a blue or black ink pen.
• Write the word CANCELLED in capital letters between these two parallel lines.
• Ensure that you do not sign the cheque or fill in any other details like the date, name, or amount.
• Make sure the lines do not obscure important details like your account number, IFSC, or MICR code.
