How To Stop Cheque Payment Through SBI Online Banking?

Finance Guru Speaks: This article will provide you information on how you can request for stopping your SBI (State Bank of India) Cheque payment through your Online SBI facility.

First of all, why would someone issue a Cheque and then want to cancel the payment request?

Some of the common reasons are:-
  1. The respective issued Cheque got lost in courier/post.
  2. Issued Cheque got stolen.
  3. You want to reissue a new Cheque because of some reasons.
  4. You have already paid the receiving party in Cash.
  5. The Cheque was issued with some errors.
You can request for stopping the payment for both "Normal Cheque" and "Multi City Cheque".


Steps to follow to Stop Cheque Payment Through SBI Online Banking:-


1. Login to SBI Internet Banking Account with your Username/Password.
SBI Online Banking Login Page

-          First select the Account number.

-          As seen above, you need to select the Start Cheque Number and End Cheque Number. Suppose you have to cancel payments issued via 3 Cheques: 000121,000122 & 000123, then you can give "Start Cheque Number=000121" and "End Cheque Number = 000123".

-          If you want to cancel only one Cheque Payment, then enter that Cheque Number in the "Start Cheque Number" field and leave "End Cheque Number" as Blank.

-          Select whether the issued Cheque is a Normal Cheque or Multi City Cheque.

-          Provide Stop Reason from the dropdown list.

-          Accept Terms & Conditions and click on Submit button.
