Fine-tune alignment (first time only)

On the first print, run a test on plain paper to check alignment. If any field is slightly off for your specific printer, use the on-screen sliders to nudge it into place. Takes 1–2 test prints, then it's set permanently.

FAQ

Questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know about ChequeGuru

Does ChequeGuru work with my bank?
Yes! ChequeGuru includes pre-configured templates for India's major banks including SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, Bank of Baroda, Union Bank, and more (25+ templates total). For any bank not pre-configured, the built-in alignment engine lets you configure your specific cheque format in minutes.
Do I need any special printer or cheque paper?
No special equipment needed! ChequeGuru works with any standard printer (Laser, Inkjet, or Deskjet) and regular bank-issued cheque books. Just load your cheque and print.
Is the free trial really free? Do I need a credit card?
Yes, it's completely free for 15 days with full feature access. No credit card required to start. You only pay if you decide to continue after the trial period.
How secure is ChequeGuru? Can cheques be tampered with?
ChequeGuru includes built-in tamper-proof security features that prevent unauthorized alterations. The software prints with precision alignment and security features that make fraud extremely difficult.
Can multiple people use ChequeGuru in my office?
Yes! ChequeGuru supports multi-user access. You can manage multiple companies, bank accounts, and users from one installation. Perfect for teams and growing businesses.
What if I need to print hundreds of cheques at once?
ChequeGuru includes batch printing functionality. You can queue up and print hundreds of cheques at once - perfect for payroll, vendor payments, or any bulk payment scenarios.
Do I get updates and support?
Yes! Your one-time payment includes lifetime free updates and email support. We continuously improve ChequeGuru and add support for new banks and features at no extra cost.
What if I'm not satisfied?
Try ChequeGuru free for 15 days with full access to every feature, before you decide to buy. There is nothing to refund because you only pay if you choose to continue.
How quickly can I start printing cheques?
Most users are printing their first cheque within 5 minutes of installation. The software comes with pre-configured templates and an intuitive interface that requires minimal setup.
Does it work on Mac or only Windows?
Currently, ChequeGuru is designed for Windows operating systems (Windows 7 and above). We're working on a Mac version based on user demand.
What is the difference between MICR and IFSC codes on a cheque?
MICR is the 9-digit code in magnetic ink at the bottom of every cheque, used for physical cheque clearing. IFSC is the 11-character code at the top of the cheque (like HDFC0001234), used for NEFT, RTGS, IMPS, and other electronic transfers. Both identify the same bank branch but in different formats for different payment rails. See the full MICR vs IFSC explainer.
What happens if a cheque bounces?
The bank returns the cheque with a memo stating the reason and charges both parties a return fee. For bounces due to insufficient funds or stop-payment, the payee can send a legal notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which can lead to a fine of up to twice the cheque amount. See the full guide on cheque bounce reasons, penalties, and next steps.
What is an account payee cheque?
An account payee cheque can only be credited to the bank account of the named payee — it cannot be encashed in cash or deposited into anyone else's account. You mark it by drawing two parallel lines in the top-left corner and writing 'A/c Payee' between them. See the full guide with worked examples.
How do I fill a cheque correctly?
Write the date (DD/MM/YYYY) top right, the payee's full name after "Pay", the amount in words followed by "Only" on the Rupees line, the same amount in figures with "/-" at the end in the box, then sign bottom right. Strike off "or bearer" for any significant payment. See the full step-by-step guide with examples.
Can ChequeGuru print a cancelled cheque?
ChequeGuru is primarily for printing filled cheques for payment. A cancelled cheque must be a physical leaf from your actual chequebook — no software can generate a valid one, because verifiers need your bank's pre-printed MICR code and account details. See our cancelled cheque guide for how to make one correctly in under a minute.
