Uses of a Cheque

Be the first to comment!
1. If payment is made by means of a crossed cheque, receipt need not be obtained.

2. It is also convenient to receive money.

3. Payment can be made to a particular person by drawing up crossed “Account payee” cheques.

4. The cheque is ‘near money’ and hence is endorsable from one person to another to settle the effects.

5. It minimizes the operation of legal tender money and the bankers can operate with a less amount of cash reserves.

6. No need of counting cash while making payment.

7. If a crossed cheque is lost, only a piece of paper is lost, i.e., the amount remains intact.


8. If payments are made by cheques an automatic record of the account is also maintained in the banker’s books.
