Best Answer

It means that, money will be paid out to the person who is holding (bearer) the check. For ex: If I owe you Rs. 10,000/- and give you a bearer cheque of my bank account with ICICI Bank, all you have to do is, visit your nearest ICICI Bank branch and then submit the cheque for payment. The bank will ask for your identity proof to verify that you are indeed the payee for the cheque and if they are satisfied, they will give you the cash right away. You, the person carrying the cheque will be considered the bearer of the cheque.
