VENKITARAMAN KRISHNA MOORTHY VRINDAVAN · Answer

When cheques have not been deposited into the Bank or not cleared within a specified time-frame, they are called Stale Cheques/Instruments. A stale cheque is not an invalid cheque, but it may be deemed 'irregular' bill of exchange which a banker may refuse to honor it unless its drawer reconfirms it paymeent either by inserting a new payment date or issue of a substitute cheque in lieu of the original. The liability of payment of the proceeds cannot be terminated on non encashment of a cheque for the reason of it being a stale cheque. It is always customary to issue a substitute cheque by the drawer without any kind of rejections/objections as the liability of payment never ceases over the issue of the cheque merely other than by means of its encashment in the prescribed ways.
