Every cheque has a date that has to be entered in it that signifies the date from which the cheque is a valid instrument. So, if I were to issue a cheque today that you can encash anytime from now, I will put todays date as the cheque date. However, if I want you to cash it only after Dec, I will put 1st Jan 2014 as the cheque date. This means that, up until 31st Dec 2013, the cheque is worthless and you can cash it to get money only on or after 1st Jan. This is a postdated cheque because the cheque date lies in the future.

What is post dated chaque?

A Post Dated Cheque is one in which the cheque date will be after todays date. Let us say I give you a cheque today with date October 15th 2011, then it will be a post dated cheque. The point here is that you cannot cash that cheque before October 15th and it can be cashed only on or after the date written on the cheque.

What is a post date?

A post-dated cheque is a cheque, on which a future date appears and not a current date. For example, if today is 01/01/2012, then a cheque which bears a date (say) 15/01/2012 is a post-dated cheque, till that date (15/01/2012) comes. In other words, till 14/01/2012 this cheque will be considered as post-dated cheque. That is, the future date has not yet arrived (till 14/01/2012). On 15/01/2012, the cheque will be no longer a post-dated cheque, but becomes a current dated cheque.In India, a cheque should be presented for payment on or after the date that appears on the face of the cheque. This date is also called ostensible date.A banker cannot a pay a post-dated cheque as he has no mandate to debit the account of the depositor earlier than the date of the cheque. In other words, a post-dated cheque should not be paid and should be returned to the holder with the reason, "Cheuque is post-dated" as the payment of a post-dated cheque is fraught with dangers. Since payment of a post-dated cheque, as per Section of the 10 of the Negotiable Instruemnts Act, 1881, is not a payment in due-course, many banks in India will not make payment of the cheque.If any defect in the title of the payee is found later, the banker cannot claim protection and should make good the loss to the ture owner.M.J.

Difference between post-dated check and stale check?

A Post Dated Cheque is one that has a date in future. A Stale Cheque is one in which the date is in the Past. Usually cheques have a validity of around 90 to 120 days. So, lets say someone gave you a cheque in March 2011 and you have still not cashed it, it is a stale dated cheque. Similarly if I give you a cheque with date as 10-May-2012 today (on 14 Jan 2012) it would be a Post dated cheque. In this case, the cheque is valid only on or after 10th May 2012. Until then, it is just a piece of paper and is worthless
