Where to find cheque number

The cheque number is located at the bottom of a cheque leaf, specifically as the first set of six digits in the series of numbers printed there. It is typically enclosed in double quotes. In addition to the cheque number, the bottom row contains other important details:

• The first six digits represent the unique Cheque Number.
• The next nine digits are the MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) code.
• The following six digits indicate the account number with the bank or the RBI identifier.
• The final two digits represent the transaction code.
