The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has said that over ₹3 lakh crore worth of cheques have been cleared through its newly introduced Continuous Clearing process under the Cheque Truncation System (CTS) since its rollout on October 4, 2025.

In a media statement, NPCI said it has facilitated the positive clearance of 2.56 crore instruments through the central system. All cheques presented by banks have received confirmation—positive or negative—and banks have been advised to credit customers’ accounts for those confirmed positively.

Efforts are ongoing to address these challenges
