Axis Bank continues to provide a chequebook for savings, salary, and current account holders; however, if you opened your account digitally, you may first update your signature in the system to receive your first chequebook. You can select the Axis Bank Mobile app, navigate Insta Services, OR visit your home branch to update it.
Axis Bank issues chequebooks with either 10 or 20 leaves, and the number of books you can request depends on your account type and bank rules.
Cheques remain useful because:
- They provide a written, signed proof of payment.
- They are widely accepted for large or recurring expenses.
- They help customers who don’t rely fully on digital transfers.
There are a bunch of quick options where you can request it. Once a new cheque book is ordered, it is printed centrally and sent to your registered address via courier such as Bluedart or Delhivery or speed post. Let’s check –
