Which is the cheque number on cheque

The cheque number is a unique 6-digit identifier found at the bottom-left corner of every cheque leaf. It is the first set of numbers in the MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) line and is placed between two vertical bars. This number is essential for:

• Tracking the status of your payment in bank statements or passbooks.
• Identifying specific transactions when communicating with the bank.
• Issuing a "stop payment" request if a cheque is lost or stolen.
• Maintaining personal records in the chequebook’s counterfoil.
