Firstly no need to carry cash currency. It makes the process of payment very much easy. Not only can a cheque be drawn for the required amount- small or large, but also the making and receiving of payment by specially crossed cheque are free from these risks, which are attendant upon money payments. Secondly, in the case of loss of or theft of a cheque, the holder can, by requesting the drawer, have its payment stopped and thus avoid the loss. Thirdly cheque has an inherent mechanism built-in itself and it has e right of action infused in it. The holder of a cheque has the right to sue thereon in his name and he is not dependent upon another title. These advantages are not with the other form of currency. Nowadays, the cheque has become very famous in International trade and is playing an important role in the monetary system of all the countries. Payments by cheque are comparatively easier than the payment by cash generally, it is difficult to prove cash payment but if paid through cheque it is easy. The cheque is transferred easily.
