Punjab National Bank last week asked its customers to report information on high value checks at least a day before clearance under the Positive Pay System (PPS) framework in order to educate them about scams of high value cheques, according to the PTI.

Punjab National Bank has incorporated Positive Pay Confirmation, a requirement of PPS framework for checks of Rs 10 lakh and above from April 4, 2022.

The Positive Pay System is available to all account holders who submit checks worth at least Rs 50,000. The use of this service is entirely up to the account holder. According to a bank statement from PNB, the CTS grids dispute resolution procedure will only accept checks that adhere to the rules of the Positive Pay System.

Key details to be submitted in the PPS, according to the PNB website:

· Beneficiary’s name

Customers can use the Positive Pay System (PPS) by providing the necessary information about the check they have written through a branch office, online banking for individuals and businesses, mobile banking (PNB ONE), or SMS banking.
