SBI Positive Pay: How to submit a high-value cheque at a branch or via net banking

For cheques worth Rs. 5 lakh or above, the RBI previously implemented a Positive Pay System. On August 1, the cheque clearance system became operational. This approach has been deployed by many banks, including SBI, to prevent check fraud. Customers must abide by the new regulations as of the most recent revisions to cash checks worth Rs. 5 lakh or above.

As required by the new regulation, the issuer must electronically convey specific information to the drawee bank via SMS, mobile banking, internet banking, ATMs, etc., including the beneficiary's name and the date of issue. The information will be double-checked when processing payments later.

Customers of SBI who wish to use the service must first register their cheque-operated accounts for the Positive Pay System by submitting an application in the required forms at one of the branches. Additional channels are available for registration, including Mobile Banking (YonoLite), Retail Internet Banking (RINB), Corporate Internet Banking (CINB), and YONO (Mobile App).
