If you have issued a cheque to someone and now you have made your mind to stop the payment of the cheque. Then there are ways to do that. But you should have a proper reason why you are stopping the payment. If you stop the payment without any proper reason then you will be in problem.
This guide is for the account holders of the Federal Bank who want to stop the payment of the cheque issued by them. I have explained multiple methods in this guide. But you should note one thing and that is the bank may charge you some fees to stop the payment.
The payment can be instantly stopped only when the cheque has not been encashed or cleared yet. If the cheque has already been passed and the money is deducted from your bank account. Then you can not stop the payment. There is no way to stop the money going out of your account once the cheque is cleared.
