How to sign a cheque

To sign a cheque correctly, follow these essential steps:

• Locate the signature space, usually at the bottom-right corner, often above the account holder's name or the words "Authorized Signatory."
• Sign exactly as per your bank records; any mismatch can lead to the cheque being rejected.
• Ensure your signature does not overlap with the MICR band at the bottom or any other critical text.
• Avoid overwriting or making corrections to your signature.
• Never sign a blank cheque to prevent potential misuse or fraud.
