Enhancing Cheque Security with Positive Pay System (PPS)

At The Gurgaon Central Cooperative Bank Ltd., we prioritize the security of our customers' financial transactions. To prevent cheque fraud and unauthorized transactions, we have implemented the Positive Pay System (PPS) as per the guidelines of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This system ensures that high-value cheques are processed securely and efficiently under the Cheque Truncation System (CTS).


What is the Positive Pay System (PPS)?

The Positive Pay System (PPS) is a mechanism to verify high-value cheques before they are cleared by the bank. Under this system, customers issuing cheques above a specified amount must share cheque details with the bank before submission. This ensures that only authorized cheques are honored, preventing fraud and unauthorized alterations.


Key Features of PPS
  • Enhanced Security: Prevents cheque fraud by verifying cheque details before processing.
  • Mandatory for High-Value Cheques: Required for cheques above Rs. 50,000 (limit may vary as per RBI guidelines).
  • Quick & Seamless Processing: Ensures faster clearance of cheques while reducing the risk of forgery.
  • Reduces Dishonored Cheques: Minimizes chances of fraudulent alterations, thereby reducing cheque returns.
