You can choose to print cheques directly from Tally. Cheques will be printed while printing a Payment Voucher.
Enabling Cheque Printing
| 1. | Go to Gateway of Tally > F11: Features > Accounting Features |
| 2. | Set Enable Cheque Printing and Set/Alter Cheque Printing Configuration to Yes. |
Company Operations Alteration screen appears as shown.
Once the option Set/Alter Cheque Printing Configuration is activated to Yes, you will get the following screen.
Company Name on Cheque:
To print the company name on the cheque for signature purposes, mention the name of the Company (for example, ABC Company). If you do not want Tally to print the name, you can leave it blank. Many banks give cheques with your company name printed.
Name of Banks
Select the Bank from the Bank accounts list.
You will have to fill in the dimensions of the cheque. Tally accepts user defined cheque dimensions. Take the bank’s cheque book and measure the dimensions of a cheque leaf carefully in millimeters and fill in the above form. You may need to correct it after trying out a couple of cheques so that the positioning is accurate. The placing of the cheque in the printer also determines the printing. To avoid mistakes trial could be made on photocopies of a cheque before using an actual cheque leaf.
Note: Salutation fields are for signatures and naturally follow the Company name (for example, Director)
Note: All dimensions must be more than 0 for cheques to be successfully printed.
For ABC & Company
Director
If your cheque has two signatories, both can be specified. Both could be the same salutation or different. For example, one could be Director, the other could be Secretary.
Give details of whatever you are using currently. Many banks will pre-print both the company name and the salutation in their cheques, in which case you can leave them blank.
You are now ready to print the cheque. Remember that this option is available only for the banks for which you have Ledger account.
