In the USA, the date field is a "comment". You got it...It doesnt matter. It is a way to reject checks by the issuing bank.

But, if the account has been closed, then it's coming back on you to pay the bounced check fee, etc. Some branches might have policies to check this field, etc. This is their branch, and you could likely just tell them the date was incorrect, and they might literally take it. With check-21, the bank can find out in hours if the other bank/account accepted the check.

How long is a check good for before you cant cash it?

Currently in india, the validity of cheques is 3 months from the date mentioned on the cheque. Any cheque that is older than 3 months is considered a stale or invalid cheque and is worthless. For ex: If I give you a cheque on 1st of May 2013, it will be valid till 31st of July 2013. If you do not cash the cheque before 31st July 2013, the cheque is worthless. Even if you manage to deposit the cheque in your bank, it will come back with no money.


How long is a Canadian cheque valid for?

Under CPA Rule A4, Section 21, a cheque is considered stale-dated after six months, unless it has been certified. Although it may be returned through the clearing for that reason, there is no obligation to do so, and the payor’s financial institution may still accept it as a valid payment item. An institution accepting a cheque that is dated more than six months earlier may choose to contact the payor’s financial institution to confirm whether the cheque will still be accepted.

How long can I wait before I have to cash the cashier's check?

Cashier's checks are "guaranteed funds." This means that they should be able to pay so long as the bank exists. However it may become more cumbersome 6 months after issuance of the check because anything dated 6 or more months ago is considered "stale dated." These items sometimes have to be treated differently than a regular item depending of bank policy.
