Union Bank of India is one of the largest public sector banks in India has everything to offer. If you are an account holder of the UBI then you might be knowing about the features of the bank. We today are going to discuss one of their service in this guide. I will tell you about the different methods you can follow to stop cheque payment in Union Bank of India.
The process is simple and there are no tough steps to take. But the cheque should not be cleared yet. If you already see a debit transaction in your bank account by the cheque you have issued. Then there is no sense in stopping the payment. In simple words, you can not stop the payment of the cheque which is already cleared by the bank. But if it is not cleared yet then you can follow this guide.
Also, keep in mind that the bank may or may not charge you for this service. So before using I highly recommend you to get the charges confirmed from the officials. You can call the customer care of the bank on 1800 22 2244. It is a toll-free number you can call on this number and speak with the support executive of the bank. You can also reach the bank officials at your home branch and ask them.
