Fraud prevention starts with how you write your cheque. Follow these standard banking guidelines to ensure your cheque is valid and secure:

Add "Only" at the end: Always write the word "Only" (or "/-") at the end of the amount to prevent anyone from adding extra words.
Strike through empty space: Draw a horizontal line through any blank space remaining after the written amount.
No overwriting: Avoid scribbling or overwriting. If you make a mistake, issue a new cheque.
