It is very important to sign at the back of this cheque
While issuing a cheque, not all types of cheques are signed on the back. But there are some cheques in which signing on the back is very important. There are bearer cheques in which signing is very important. If you are giving a bearer cheque to someone, then you must sign on the back. On the other hand, if you have an order cheque, then there is no need to sign on the back. Bearer cheque is the one which you have to deposit in the bank. There is no name of any person in it. Therefore, it is necessary to sign on the back.
That is why bearers sign on the back of cheque
If you issue a bearer’s cheque and it gets stolen by mistake, you may suffer a huge loss in such a situation. There is no name of any person in this cheque. Hence, the bank asks you to sign on the back of it. Without signing on the back, the bank does not accept the bearer’s cheque. This ensures that the transaction done through this cheque has been done with your consent. If there is any mistake in this, the bank will not be responsible for it.
