Some banks, including Axis Bank, have made PPS mandatory, under which customers will have to give Cheque details to the bank through net / mobile banking or visiting the branch. Let us tell you that the positive pay system will be implemented on bank Cheque payments of 50,000 or more. However, Axis Bank customers will have to confirm the Cheque details under the Positive Pay System only when it issues bank Cheques of Rs 5 lakh or more.

It is worth noting that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had announced the Positive Pay System for Cheque Transaction System (CTS) in August 2020. According to this rule, banks can apply this facility to all account holders for Cheques with an amount of 50 thousand or more as per their wish. Under this rule of RBI, before issuing the Cheque, you have to inform the bank about this or else the Cheque will not be accepted. Your Cheque will be rejected. However, this rule may cause problems for senior citizens who do not use the services of net banking or mobile banking.
