Cheque containing a previous date is called _________

  • Cheque containing a previous date is called Ante dated cheque.
  • An ante-dated cheque is a cheque that bears a date that is earlier than the actual date on which it was written.
  • In other words, it is a cheque that is post-dated or dated for a future date.
  • This is different from a stale-dated cheque, which is a cheque that is dated more than six months in the past.
  • It's important to note that writing an ante-dated cheque is not illegal, but it can have consequences for both the issuer and the recipient of the cheque.
  • For example, if the issuer of the cheque has insufficient funds in their account on the date the cheque was written, the cheque may bounce when it is presented for payment, causing inconvenience and potentially leading to fees or other penalties.
