Cheque, Mate

The RBI move to compel banks to issue only CTS 2010-design cheques is welcome, but it is a pity most banks have failed in the initiative despite being informed in 2010. With D-Day looming, they have suddenly woken up and are putting pressure on customers. To avoid hardship to customers, a stay order has to be brought in suo moto by the apex court for deferring the rollout of new cheques to January 1, 2014. This will allow customers one year to be prepared and strict instruction must be given to banks to stop issuing cheque books from old stock.
