Checks are monetary instruments that carry a certain value (as much as the number mentioned in it). They can be used as instruments of payment by one person to another. Person A fills in a certain number in his check, signs it and gives it to Person B for payment. Person B will be able to use this check to get the money due to him from person A.

Checks are usually written in cases where a person who has to pay another person money does not carry sufficient cash with them or do not wish to pay cash but instead want to pay them through other means.

What is the difference between a good for payment cheque and a general cheque?

A good for payment cheque is a type of cheque that is guaranteed to be honored by the bank, often because it is backed by sufficient funds or a specific agreement, ensuring that the recipient can cash it without issue. In contrast, a general cheque may not have the same level of assurance; it relies on the account holder having sufficient funds at the time of cashing. If insufficient funds are available, a general cheque may bounce, leading to potential fees and complications.
