Quick Summary
When a cheque is issued on one date but clears the bank on a later date, it's important to record the transaction correctly. The initial entry should be made on the date the cheque was issued. Any discrepancies between your bank statement and your ledger, such as uncleared cheques, should be handled through bank reconciliation. Consult with an accountant to ensure the correct treatment for audit purposes.

Make entry as usual on 30/03/2020...

In bank ledger provide reconciliation and the uncleared cheques will be remain for clearing. Keep bank balance as per Your bank ledger.
In April You tick the bank statement for the amount and leave the value. After that You have correct value...

( Note : consult or ask how to keep that cheque amount in Your books. Bcoz, he will give correct solutions as per Your accounts and it's audits...)
