It means the account that the check was drwan on has been closed. Whoever wrote the check went to the bank, closed the account without providing a list of outstanding checks, and took whatever cash was left in the account. Unfortunately it makes the check you're holding worthless... but if you are located in the US (not sure about other countries) it is considered bank fraud and is a federal offense.

Yes. The term used for this is called Cheque "Stop Payment" You must visit the bank branch from which you got the cheque book and submit a letter stating the reason for the same and also provide the cheque number. If the cheque has not yet been paid, the cheque would be canceled and no payment would be made.

The most usual reason why a cheque is dishonoured is that the cheque was written on a bank account that does not have enough money in it to cover that payment, which is called insufficient funds. Other reasons include stop payment (the peson who wrote the cheque has changed his or her mind and withdrawn the authorization for the transfer of funds), frozen account (some authority has ordered the account frozen, so that no transactions are permitted) or account closed.

Signature of account holder does not match with bank records c. Not enough funds in the bank account to pay the cheque d. Any overwriting or editing in the cheque e. Cheque issuer has explicitly put a stop-payment on the cheque.

Practically, there are not 29 reasons as to why a cheque cannot be cashed. But, a cheque may bounce due to a variety of reasons. They are: a. The signature of the cheque issuer does not match bank records b. There is not enough money in the issuers bank account to pay for the cheque c. There is overwriting in the cheque and is not duly counter-signed d. The amount in numbers and amount in words does not match e. The cheque is very old and expired (more than 90 days old)
The only reason why a cheque may become stale is: The cheque was issued to you in the past and you have not yet deposited it for cashing it. Any cheque that is older than 180 days is considered stale. If you deposit a stale cheque - the bank will not release the funds
A post-dated cheque is a cheque, on which a future date appears and not a current date. For example, if today is 01/01/2012, then a cheque which bears a date (say) 15/01/2012 is a post-dated cheque, till that date (15/01/2012) comes. In other words, till 14/01/2012 this cheque will be considered as post-dated cheque. That is, the future date has not yet arrived (till 14/01/2012). On 15/01/2012, the cheque will be no longer a post-dated cheque, but becomes a current dated cheque.In India, a cheque should be presented for payment on or after the date that appears on the face of the cheque. This date is also called ostensible date.A banker cannot a pay a post-dated cheque as he has no mandate to debit the account of the depositor earlier than the date of the cheque. In other words, a post-dated cheque should not be paid and should be returned to the holder with the reason, "Cheuque is post-dated" as the payment of a post-dated cheque is fraught with dangers. Since payment of a post-dated cheque, as per Section of the 10 of the Negotiable Instruemnts Act, 1881, is not a payment in due-course, many banks in India will not make payment of the cheque.If any defect in the title of the payee is found later, the banker cannot claim protection and should make good the loss to the ture owner.M.J.
