Important notification related to “Positive Pay” for your Cheque Payments

What is Positive Pay?

To enhance the security of cheque transactions, RBI has announced introduction of “PositivePay System” for Cheques effective 1 January 2021. Positive pay is a process of reconfirming key details of large value cheques. To facilitate this for our customers, we have made provisions in our Net Banking and Mobile app. Under this process, the issuer of the cheque submits electronically, certain minimum details of that cheque (like date, name of the beneficiary / payee, amount, etc.) to the drawee bank, details of which are cross checked with the presented cheque by the system.
