A stale cheque is a term used to refer to a cheque that is old and expired. Such cheques are totally worthless. Cheques usually have a validity period after which they are considered expired or stale. In India the validity is 3 months and in most countries around the globe it is between 3 to 6 months. If I give you a cheque on 1st of May 2013 the cheque will be valid till 31st July 2013 and starting 1st August 2013, the cheque will be considered stale. If you try to cash that cheque, you will not get any money.
