what is difference between a current account and a cheque account
They both mean the same
I am not a banking expert, but my understanding is that - say you have 100$ in your account and you pay in a cheque for another 100$, then your current balance will be 200$ but your available balance will be 100$ until the cheque clears (when the available balance will match the current balance). This protects the bank from someone paying in a cheque that may 'bounce' and withdrawing money that never gets put into the account.
For individuals a cheque or current account.
Actually they both refer to the same. A crossed cheque is also called an account payee cheque. These types of cheques can only be deposited into an individuals bank account and will not be cashed over the counter. This is used to minimize misuse of cheque instruments in case of loss or theft. We can always track the destination account into which funds were deposited using our crossed cheque whereas in case of bearer cheques (the ones that aren't crossed and can be cashed over the counter) we cannot.

Crossing a cheque means putting two parallel lines on the left hand top corner of the cheque. This means that, the cheque is a Account Payee cheque which means it can only be deposited into another account and cannot be exchanged for cash over the counter. This serves two purposes - you can keep a track of who encashed your cheque and also ensure that even if the cheque is lost, it cannot be misused by anyone. The person to whom the cheque was paid will be recorded.
A pay order, is a banker's or cashier's cheque. It is guaranteed to be paid by the bank and is the preferred method of payment for larger purchases such as cars and homes. A cheque is written directly on a customer's account and is not guaranteed by the bank.
A Bearer cheque is one which the bearer (the person to whom the cheque was issued) can present at the bank on which the cheque was given and receive the cash For ex: If I give you a cheque on my ICICI Bank account in Chennai to you, you can take that cheque to any ICICI bank branch in Chennai and collect the cash that is written on it (if i have sufficient balance in my account) whereas a crossed cheque is one that cannot be cashed as said above. It can only be deposited into the payees (your) bank account
A cross cheque means, the cheque can be deposited in account only, while an open cheque means, the the bearer can withdraw cash. Cross cheque means cheque amount only paid to bank account open cheque cash withdrawal by parties
In the case of a bearer cheque, the bank has to pay the person who is holding the cheque and presenting it for payment. In case of a crossed cheque, the bank will only credit the money into the persons bank account. They will not issue cash
None.
'Cheque account' in Afrikaans is 'tjekrekening'.
