How To Stop SBI Cheque Payment, Revoke Request

If you are a State Bank of India (SBI) customer and want to stop the payment of an SBI cheque, the bank offers an easy option to do it online. All that you require is an activated internet banking service with SBI. This was said by India's largest bank in a tutorial video shared on its website - onlinesbi.com. In fact, SBI also offers an online option to revoke the 'stop cheque payment request', which means that if you have already made a request to stop the payment through cheque, you can cancel this request in case you decide to let the payment go through. Both the requests - one to stop a cheque and another to cancel such a request - can be raised online, without having to visiting the SBI branch.
