18 July 2024 For current accounts, the requirements regarding self-cheques (self-drawn cheques) can vary from bank to bank. However, here are some general guidelines based on common banking practices:

1. **Front Side Signature:**
- It is typically mandatory for the front side of the cheque to be signed by the account holder. This signature serves as a form of authentication and authorization for the bank to process the cheque.

2. **Back Side Signature:**
- The back side of the cheque may or may not require a signature, depending on the bank's policies:
- **Some banks require signatures on both the front and back sides** of self-cheques, especially for larger amounts or specific types of transactions.
- **Other banks may accept the cheque with only the front side signed**, particularly for routine transactions or smaller amounts.

3. **Seal Requirements:**
- Seal requirements are generally not common for personal current accounts. They are more relevant for business accounts or accounts held by organizations that may use a company seal.
- If a seal is required, it is usually stamped or affixed on the front side of the cheque, along with the signature of the account holder.

### Bank-Specific Policies:

To ensure compliance with your bank's specific requirements for self-cheques, it is recommended to:

- **Consult with Your Bank:** Contact your bank directly to inquire about their policies regarding the signing and sealing of self-cheques for current accounts.
- **Review Account Terms and Conditions:** Refer to the account opening documents or terms and conditions provided by the bank, as they may outline specific requirements for cheque usage.
- **Ask for Clarification:** If there is any uncertainty about the requirements, ask the bank for clarification to avoid any potential issues with cheque processing.

### Conclusion:

The precise requirements for self-cheques can vary depending on the bank and the nature of the transaction. By understanding and adhering to your bank's specific policies regarding cheque signing and sealing, you can ensure that your self-cheques are processed smoothly and securely.
