How to send a cancelled cheque

To send a cancelled cheque, you must first prepare it correctly to ensure it is used only for verification and not for financial transactions. Follow these steps:

• Take a fresh, unused cheque leaf from your chequebook.
• Draw two parallel diagonal lines across the face of the cheque using dark ink.
• Write the word CANCELLED in capital letters between these two lines.
• Ensure essential details like your account number, IFSC, and name remain clearly visible.

Once prepared, you can physically hand over or upload a scanned copy of the cheque as required for KYC, EMI setups, or bank verification.
