हिन्दी में
चेक एक लिखित निर्देश है जो बैंक को कहता है कि खाते से तय रकम किसी व्यक्ति/पक्ष को दे दी जाए। समितियाँ अक्सर बिना नकद के भुगतान देने-लेने के लिए चेक का इस्तेमाल करती हैं। आसान शब्दों में — "बैंक को भुगतान का पर्चा"।
In English
A bank payment instrument used for non-cash receipts and payments; it clears through the banking system and affects the bank book.
यह क्यों ज़रूरी है
Cheques are everyday bank instruments; knowing how they work supports correct bank entries and reconciliation (e.g. issued-but-not-cleared cheques).
आम गलतफ़हमियाँ
- ❌ "Writing a cheque instantly reduces the bank balance." → The book entry is made, but the bank balance changes only when the cheque clears — a reconciliation point.
- ❌ "A cheque is the same as cash." → It is a payment instruction, subject to clearing and possible dishonour.
सीखने के लक्ष्य
- Define a cheque and its role in society payments.
