I think we all blind people should learn to sign. I don't think so it is difficult task. Today my age is 33 and I also learned to sign just 2 years before. Yes it requires some amount of dedication.


In our country the thumb impression is the symbol of illiteracy, but the banks should understand that the thumb impression is the safest mode of identification. Because the signature can be copied but the thumb impression cant.

In the country like India more than half of the population cannot sign then it should be commonly accepted.

For today when the thumb cheques are not accepted then we have many alternatives. We can use tpt facility and online bill payment facility to make our payments so we do not have to rely on issuing cheques.

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,

Subject: [AI] Cheques with thumb impression


Hi all,
We would like to know from those of us who use thumb impression on their
cheques if they have to do anything different while taking new cheque
books or issuing cheques. Also if you know the procedure your bank follows
to approve your cheques issued to third parties, both locally &
outstation.

Banks have higher resistance to give cheque book to a blind person who do
not sign but use thumb impression. Your solutions would help us to pass
them on to our callers who face such situation and also sensitise banks.

Any replies on the matter would be appreciated. Please specify your bank and branch as well. You may write back on or off the list as you may think
fit.

thanks,
