Yes. Writing a post-date check is perfectly legal anywhere in the world. But, cashing a post dated check is not. A check can be submitted for encashing only on or after the date mentioned on the check has reached. Until the check's date has reached, it is a worthless piece of paper that has no value.

It's a check that's dated after the date it was written. Banks used to not honor checks before the date that was written on them, so people would send a check dated after payday to pay the gas bill or something. These days, if a check shows up at the bank they'll process it no matter what the date is on it...so don't write any more postdated checks.

The same way you'd write a normal check, except in the date field you put a date that's in the future.
Post date a check means that you write a check on a day and mention the date of a future day in the check. i.e., let's say I give you a check today 22 January 2011 and write the check date as 15 February 2011. This is post dating a check. This means that you cannot cash the check until 15th February 2011 and until then the check is of no value. Post Dated checks are perfectly legal as long as the person who receives the check does not cash it before its due date. Please note: If you send a post dated check in to ,say your mortgage company!! They are NOT going to look at the date! They will send it on to the bank, If it is early..... it will be sent back as non sufficient. This can cause a lot of issues. None of this is answering the question as to what is the law!! I WILL be learning this today and will answer here again.
