Do Checks Expire?

An overdue check is when six months or more has passed when it was used to pay a deposit; a late check is a check that is completed first and then dated. Banks can refuse to accept the two drafts. In addition, some banks require depositors to use checks that they sell or that they approve.

Content of an overdue check
Cheques are credit instruments that pay on sight, but if they exceed a certain period, the bank may refuse to pay in accordance with relevant regulations. However, the creditor's rights on the invoice will not be eliminated due to the expiration of the limitation period. The holder has the right to request the reimbursement of the rights of the invoicer or acceptor within the limits of their benefits. In the bill law, the exercise of bill rights (such as the right of recourse) requires strict procedures under the law, but the time to exercise the rights is relatively short. If the rights on the instrument are not exercised or preserved in a timely manner, the holder may lose his rights due to lack of procedure or expiry of the limitation period. Under this circumstance, the debtor (invoice, acceptor) of the note enjoys the benefit of consideration and funds exclusively because of exemption from performing the debt of the note, which improperly damages the interest of the creditor (drawer) of the note, and has the nature of undue profit. In order to remedy this unfair situation, a legal system of claim for repayment of interest is stipulated in the law. The Geneva Uniform Cheques Law provides that the reminder period for domestic checks is 8 days, and the reminder period for cheques paid in one country and paid in another country is 20 to 70 days, depending on the distance between the place of invoice and the place of payment. The invoicer shall still bear the responsibilities on the note to the holder after the expiration date. However, if the holder fails to promptly cause the invoicer to suffer losses (for example, due to the delay in presentation, the invoicer suffers from bank failure), the holder shall be liable to the invoicer for compensation, and the amount of compensation shall not exceed the nominal amount.
