Considered to be a major milestone in the history of Indian banking, Cheque Truncation System aims to make cheque clearance more efficient and reduce the clearance time of cheques to one day, thereby trimming down the floating time considerably.
India processes as many as 1.2 billion cheques annually and, therefore, the implementation of this system would drastically cut down the waiting period involved.
HOW DOES IT WORK
This is an online image-based cheque clearing system wherein the collecting bank branch would deploy scanned images along with the magnetic ink character of the cheque which will be sent out electronically using their Capture System.
The captured images and the data are then signed and encrypted and sent to the clearing house or the central processing location and, thereafter, forwarded to the drawee or paying bank.This helps speed up the cheque collection process.
