From 1st January, 2014, any cheque issued by you needs to be CTS (Cheque Truncation System) 2010 compliant. You are therefore required to ensure that your current cheque book is CTS 2010 compliant.

Sample CTS Cheque





If your current cheque book was issued to you after August 2011, and has the following distinguishing features of CTS 2010:

CTS 2010 printed on the left hand side near the perforation

A wave like design is embossed on the left hand side of cheque leaves (as shown above in the picture)

Some benefits of CTS 2010 that you can look forward to:

Shorter clearing cycles for cheques

Enhanced security features to reduce misuse and tampering of cheques

Reduction in risks associated with physical movement of cheques
