Post-dated
A cheque issued today will be valid for 3 months from the date of issue. In case
someone wants to take payment on a future date i.e. after 3 months time period or
the party has requested to have a higher validity period then you can issue a post
dated cheque by quoting a future date as per your convenience. In such type of
situations, it will be valid for 3 months from the future date that is mentioned on the
instrument. For example; on 16/12/2013, if you are issuing it dated 01.04.2014 then
it will be called a posted dated cheque and will be valid for 3 months from the date of
01.04.2014.
Cheque will change its functionality based on how its issued. You have to be very
careful while drafting a cheque or else there are chances of losing your hard earned
money.
