To make an account payee cheque, follow these steps:
- Draw two parallel diagonal lines on the top-left corner of the cheque leaf.
- Write the words Account Payee Only or A/C Payee Only between these two lines.
- Fill in the recipient's name accurately on the Pay line.
- Enter the payment amount in both words and figures (in Rupees).
- Mention the current date in the date section.
- Sign the cheque in the designated space at the bottom right.
This process ensures the funds are credited only to the bank account of the named payee.
