deposited money with the banker, requiring him to pay on
demand a certain sum of money only to or to the order of certain
person or to the bearer of instrument

When the words "or bearer" appearing on the face of the cheque are not
cancelled, the cheque is called a bearer cheque. The bearer cheque is payable to
the person specified therein or to any other else who presents it to the bank for
payment. However, such cheques are risky; this is because if such cheques are
lost, the finder of the cheque can collect payment from the bank.
2. Order Cheque
When the word "bearer" appearing on the face of a cheque is cancelled and when
in its place the word "or order" is written on the face of the cheque, the cheque is
called an order cheque. Such a cheque is payable to the person specified therein
as the payee, or to any one else to whom it is endorsed (transferred).

When a cheque is not crossed, it is known as an "Open Cheque" or an "Uncrossed
Cheque". The payment of such a cheque can be obtained at the counter of the
bank. An open cheque may be a bearer cheque or an order one.
4. Crossed Cheque
Crossing of cheque means drawing two parallel lines on the face of the cheque
with or without additional words like "& CO." or "Account Payee" or "Not
Negotiable". A crossed cheque cannot be encashed at the cash counter of a bank
but it can only be credited to the payee's account.

house.
In caseof dealing with, out of the country bank it needs to go thru reservebank of
both the countries, besides going thru clearing house.
If you do not get the money after depositing the cheque then it comes back to
you as unclear check with reason, such as no such account or insufficient fund or
signaturecannot be verified or stopped payment initiated by issuer.
Most banks will release the money immediately if you are in good standing

with them, subjectto clearing of check, if it does not clear you are required to pay
back the money plus the interest on the money for using it, if you do not have an
account with that bank, if you havean account then money is taken fromthat
account and you are notified with unclear check notice.

state - 2 to 3 days (Max)
