How to stop cheque payment

To stop a cheque payment, you must notify your bank before the cheque is processed or cleared. Most Indian banks offer multiple ways to initiate a "Stop Payment" request:

• Mobile Banking or Net Banking: Log in to your bank's app or portal, navigate to the "Cheque Book Services" section, and select "Stop Payment."
• Customer Care: Call your bank's official toll-free helpline to register an oral request.
• Branch Visit: Submit a written application at your home branch.

You will need to provide the cheque number, account details, and the reason for stopping the payment. Please note that banks typically charge a nominal fee for this service.
