Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the accounting treatment for cheques received after the financial year-end but before the approval of financial statements. If a cheque is dated on or before the balance sheet date and received after it, it's generally recognised as cash and cash equivalents if presented to the bank in the subsequent month. If the cheque is dated after the balance sheet date, it's treated as a non-adjusting event and recorded in the year of receipt, often shown as 'cheques in hand' under current assets.

If the check is already recognized in balance sheet as "checks in hand' with amounts, nothing needs to be done. It will act like a 30 days term deposit and the company can convert it into cash anytime they like. 

Cheques in hand are always shown in balance sheet as Current Assets.
Now the point is cheques received after 31st mar but have dates after 31st mar 2020 are basically accepted .
These are reconcilliation items.
But always shown as cheques in hand...
