This bottleneck had an overriding impact on any consideration for improvements or reduction in the cycle time for clearing.
Legal covenants in India required the cheque to be presented to the paying branch for payment. The paying branch is the last node in the clearing cycle as it exists in the country, and thus the paper cheque is on the move through the entire cycle from the bank-branch of the collecting bank where it is first deposited to the service branch of the collecting bank, onward to the Clearing House, which acts as a focal point for the cheques of all the banks, and from the Clearing Centre to the paying bank service branch and lastly the paying branch. If the cheque is returned unpaid, it has to re-trace the entire path back to the presenting branch.
THE CONVENTIONAL WAY o Cheques dropped off in the bank or the drop box are subject to the cut-off time for clearing cycles.
o After encoding and mechanical sorting, the cheques are sent to the clearing house. Banks release credit to the beneficiaries only after the return clearing process.
o Time taken to clear local cheques: up to three days.
o Time taken to process intercity cheques: a fortnight on an average.

Payments will be made at either Centralized Disbursing (central cite) or the DMPO (remote site). All payments, except for emergencies (Death Gratuity and Gate Payments are currently the only two designated unless otherwise directed by the Commander/Director), should be made at the central site. The only terminal designated as remote is the DDO’s desk and will be used to make input of checks printed at the DMPO. Input and certification must be made at this terminal (DDS), i.e. if a payment is input on a remote terminal it must be certified on a remote terminal. Terminals not designated as remote are used for input to the central site.

Additionally, Subdivision (1) of section 4-303 of the UCC states that the payor bank cannot terminate, suspend, or modify the banks duty to pay an item or charge a customer’s account if notice is given without reasonable time for the bank to act on behalf of the notice expires or if the bank has accepted or terminated the item, which applies to the personal check that was cashed by the plaintiff.
