No you cannot cash the cheque. You would have to ask the payer to make the cheque payable to the estate of your late father. Say for example you father was Mr. Alfred Barry Charles, the cheque would have to be written in favour of 'The Estate of Mr. Alfred Barry Charles'. You would then need some type of authority from the probate court in order to cash that check.

At par cheque is a cheque on which no charge is deducted by the bank for crediting to your account, even if your account is in a branch that is in a different city from where the cheque is issued. For example, if your account is in Mumbai, and a company with its account in Delhi gives you a cheque, the Bank will charge certain amount from the cheque, as the cheque will have to be sent to Delhi to get cleared.

So, many private and some public sector banks are issuing at par chequebooks to their account holders.

The receiver of the cheque will not have to pay any charge on the credit of the cheque, meaning that he will be more willing to accept your cheque
