Best Answer

It is not a legally valid document if it is not signed. Without a sign the bank has no way to verify if the account holder issued a cheque or was it stolen from him. A Signature is a proof to the bank that the account holder issued the cheque as a binding instrument to pay another person.

Can you cash a personal check with no id?

No. The bank will require a valid identity proof if you want cash for the check. However, if you want to deposit it into your bank account, the bank wont as for any Id. They will accept the check and credit cash into your account as soon as your check gets paid by the issuing bank.


Can you put a stop payment on a check after it is cashed?

No. A stop payment can be issued only before the check payment is made by the bank. If you try a stop payment after the bank has paid for the check, the bank wont accept it because the stop payment instruction is useless now and cannot be executed.


Who can stop payment of a cheque?

The person who issued the cheque can issue the stop payment on the cheque. As long as the check isn't submitted for payment yet, you can issue the stop payment request. But, if the check is already paid the bank will not accept the stop payment. A point to note is that, the person to whom you gave the check can prosecute you legally for doing so because he wont get paid for the check


If check is deposit after 6 month would it be paid?

Mostly No. Every check has a validity period usually 90 or 180 days depending on the check type and issuing institution. So if you deposit a check after 6 months, most probably it wont get paid. It is called a Stale or Expired check and the bank does not have to pay you for that check.


Why wont a bank accept a bankdraft back from one of teir customers?

The bank cannot do that. Any customer of the bank who wants to deposit a bank draft into their account can do that. A bank cannot refuse to accept a customer's draft for deposit. You have the right to deposit it with any bank that you have an account with (unless it is a fake draft).
