PNB makes positive pay system mandatory for cheque payments worth ₹5 lakh
March 06, 2023
Earlier, the mandatory submission of cheque details in PPS was set at ₹10 lakh and above.
The PPS is a system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which requires customers to reconfirm essential details (account number, cheque number, cheque alpha code, issue date, amount, and beneficiary name) when issuing cheques of a certain amount, it said.
This adds an extra layer of security against any potential risk while processing such cheques, it said.
Customers can use the PPS facility by providing the cheque details through Branch office, Online Banking for individuals and businesses, Mobile Banking (PNB ONE), or SMS Banking, it said, adding, the details to be submitted one working day prior to cheque presentation/clearing date.
As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines, PNB had introduced PPS for cheques of ₹50,000 and above presented in CTS clearing from January 1, 2021.
