How to Apply a Cheque Book in Bank of Baroda – Online and Offline via form

Does Bank of Baroda Issue Cheque Books Instantly at the Branch?

Bank of Baroda branches do not issue a personalised cheque book instantly. Personalised books, in simple words, come with your name and account number printed and are processed at a central facility before being dispatched to your registered address.

That’s why the branch staff usually tells you, “It will be delivered in a few days.” The printing, packing, dispatch, and speed post delivery take time — usually 3 to 7 working days in cities and 5 to 10 days in rural areas. Some branches, but not all, may provide an emergency or non-personalised cheque book at the branch counter.

This type doesn’t have your name printed and is meant for urgent work only. It’s valid mostly for your home branch or local transactions.

Charges for this emergency book are slightly higher than normal cheque leaves, and you might need to give a written request or show your passbook. Some branches still avoid this unless it’s a medical, educational, or time-sensitive reason.

How the Cheque Book Order Process Works

To order a personalised cheque book to your address, BOB offers multiple options such as –

1. Through the BoB World Mobile App or Netbanking
2. Using BoB’s Virtual Assistant – ADI (AI Chatbot)
3. By visiting a branch and filling out the cheque book request form
4. BOB Phonebanking

Once the request is placed, the bank verifies your address, prints the cheque book at their printing centre, and dispatches it via India Post or any third-party courier partner. No modification or cancellation is allowed once the request is processed.
