Hi, While others could continue to write in their experience of using cheque book with thumb impression, we need some clarifications from those who responded.
Manish Panicker: Has your branch of PNB put any more restriction or adopted any additional procedure for issuing you cheque book and honouring your cheques? Deepak Pithva: are you following any different rules/procedure compared to someone using signature in using cheque book with your thumb impression? Rajesh Parakh: Did you mean that you have to sign as well as put your thumb impression on your cheques and chequebook requisition? Rajesh Asudani and others: Hasn't any bank begun using biometric systems to verify thumb impression on cheques? Also please confirm if you issue cheques with only your thumb impressions, or there is a joint account holder also signing them. Thanks for sharing your experiences, best regards, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A knowledge resource for living a fuller life with vision loss C/o Score Foundation, 17/107, Basement, Vikram Vihar, Lajpatnagar 4, New Delhi 110024, INDIA.
