How to write a canceled cheque

To write a cancelled cheque, follow these steps:
  • Take a fresh, unused cheque leaf from your chequebook.
  • Draw two parallel diagonal lines across the face of the cheque using blue or black ink.
  • Write the word CANCELLED in capital letters between these two lines.
  • Ensure the lines do not cover essential details like the account number, holder's name, IFSC, or MICR code.
  • Do not sign or provide any other details on the cheque leaf.
