A Cancelled Cheque is required in many cases. Once such case is, when you open a DEMAT / Trading account and when you want to link your bank account with it.

The below image shows how a Cancelled Cheque should look like. Draw two parallel lines and write "CANCELLED" between the lines as shown below. Do not sign or fill anything else in the cheque

If I write "CANCELLED" without parallel lines?
