Best Answer

Condition 1: If the date written on the check has not arrived at when the cheque is presented into the account from which the amount is to be debited.

Condition 2: If the signature on the cheque doesn't exactly match with that of the account holder from whose account it is to be debited.

In these cases either the check is returned to the issuer for corrections with correct signatures over the areas corrected or the issuer is asked to issue a fresh cheque.
