Post-dated Cheque Entry

A post-dated cheque is one that the recipient can encash on a future date. Such cheques are not payable until the date written on the face of the cheque. In the accounting books of both the issuer and the recipient, the transaction will not be recorded until the date provided on the cheque.

Tally.ERP 9 facilitates smooth management of post-dated cheques and the underlying transactions:

You can mark an entry as post-dated and specify the date on which the cheque was received/issued.

The transaction will automatically affect the accounting books on the date of the post-dates cheque.

You can obtain a comprehensive summary of all transactions involving post-dated cheques, using the Post-dated Summary report.

You can include post-dated transactions in other accounting reports such as Ledger Vouchers , Group Summary , Outstandings reports, and so on.
