what does it mean when it said no post-dated cheques?

Question

i have to send this cheque but im not sure what it means as no post dated cheques. am i suppose to put a date or no?

Answer 1

This means do not put a date that is in the future..like today is 2/28/07...do not date the check for 3/1/07 or they won't accept it. There is such a thing as a stale dated check as well. This would be a check that is dated longer than 6 months before (for personal checks), or 1 year or more before (for official bank checks/money orders).

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a post dated cheque in theory. If you issue a cheque the T&C 's of your bank will say you must have the funds to cover any cheque drawn on your account, if not then don't issue the cheque until you have. If a cheque is presented to a bank it will be considered as for processing that day, the date is irrelevent.

Answer 3

It means that they will not accept a check that is written for a future date. For example, today is Feb. 28, the company will not take a check that is dated for March 28. Or most simply put they will not accept a check that you expect them to hold until some date in the future.

Answer 4

It means not to date the check with a date in the future. You must put only the current date on the check.

Answer 5

it means dont date the check into the future like writing a check today and then putting april 1st in the date because that means that the funds cant be drawn until april 1st. so you can put the date there but put a current date and im sure if you leave it blank they'll fill it in with the day they get the check.

Answer 6

You need to put the actual date(like today). Not a date for later on. I know in some countries it's illegal to write a check and give it to someone with a date like for next month or so.

Answer 7

It means that you can only write a check for the present day. Post-dated checks are when you make a check say... today, to be cashed next week in "good faith" on a bill that is due say... today.
