Book excerpt: The industry-dominated Payments Council should no longer have the unfettered power to decide the future of cheques, or other payment methods that directly affect millions of people, the Treasury Select Committee says in this report. Responding to concern from the general public and the Treasury Committee, the Payments Council announced on 12 July 2011 that cheques will continue for as long as customers need them and that the target for possible closure of the cheque clearing in 2018 had been cancelled. The Committee welcomes this belated decision of the Council to retain cheques, but warns the Council to ensure that the banks do not attempt to abandon cheques by stealth, nor deter customers from using cheques. The report recommends that: the Treasury should make provision in the forthcoming Financial Services Bill to bring the Payments Council formally within the system of financial regulation; the Council must obtain a commitment from the banks to give the Council advance sight of any material related to the future availability of cheques that the banks send to their customers; all banks should write to their customers stating that cheques will continue to be in use for the foreseeable future; the Payments Council should examine the reintroduction of the cheque guarantee card; changes be made to the composition of the Board of the Payments Council in order significantly to strengthen the voice of consumers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cheque plays a very important role in every business transaction. The payment through cheque has many advantages over other forms of currency. Firstly no need to carry cash currency. It makes the process of payment very much easy. Not only can a cheque be drawn for the required amount- small or large, but also the making and receiving of payment by specially crossed cheque are free from these risks, which are attendant upon money payments. Secondly, in the case of loss of or theft of a cheque, the holder can, by requesting the drawer, have its payment stopped and thus avoid the loss. Thirdly cheque has an inherent mechanism built-in itself and it has e right of action infused in it. The holder of a cheque has the right to sue thereon in his name and he is not dependent upon another title. These advantages are not with the other form of currency. Nowadays, the cheque has become very famous in International trade and is playing an important role in the monetary system of all the countries. Payments by cheque are comparatively easier than the payment by cash generally, it is difficult to prove cash payment but if paid through cheque it is easy. The cheque is transferred easily. The transfer can be either by mere delivery or by endorsement and delivery. Even big transactions can be made through cheques without any risk of theft. But it is worthy to mention here that the offence of dishonour of cheque has become a common phenomenon. In absence of reporting agency to report cases of dishonour of cheques, it is difficult to gauge the extent and magnitude of the offence but individual studies are indicative of the fact that the offence of dishonour of cheques is increasing day by day. Negotiable Instruments are usually used to clear debts in every business transaction. It possesses a significant place in every country of the world where the needs of the people are met through many business transactions. Negotiable instruments are credit devices. A Negotiable Instrument such as cheques has assumed great significance in trade and commerce. In today’s economy, the system of payment through negotiable instruments is widely practiced due to several reasons. A businessman can’t carry a huge amount of cash in their pocket therefore, the credit devices have come into operation. One of the other major reasons is that Negotiable Instrument makes the payment process very unproblematic and simple. These documents have become very famous and every businessman adopted these documents in place of an actual currency for their day-to-day transactions. The entire study will be aimed at making a comprehensive analysis of the problem of dishonour of cheques in India, legislative and judicial response to deal with the offence, its prevalence with emphasis on the factors and causes responsible, and finally suggestions of remedial measures. The content is to be more activists in approach rather than the traditional academic one. The study will attempt to suggest measures that are truly effective to deal with an offence of dishonour of cheques.
