How to Fill SBI Deposit Slip Correctly (Cash & Cheque Guide)

Your deposit Slip is like a ticket to deposit banknotes or a cheque into your account at any branch of SBI Bank. It’s not just a simple paper for formality; it is required for proof of your transactions or deposits you made.

SBI has designed one slip for both cash deposits and cheque deposits, so you don’t need to hunt for different forms.

One side is for cash details (like denominations), and the other side is for cheque details. At the end, you detach the counterfoil/stamp part, which acts as your receipt.

SBI Deposit Slip Sections Explained

Every SBI deposit slip has two main sections:

1. Customer Copy – stays with you as proof or a deposit token.
2. Bank Copy – goes to the teller with your cash or cheque.

The slip asks for basic details like account number, branch, depositor’s name, amount, and mobile number. Once these are correctly written, you only need to focus on whether you are depositing cash or a cheque.

Where do you start – pen, side, boxes?

If you are confused about what to deposit slip form looks like, check the above image for it.

You must use a blue or black pen. mostly blue, and write inside the printed boxes, one digit per box. You can start on the left half of the slip first (that’s the branch, SB/CA number, which is printed).

Which three fields must come first for both cash and cheque deposits?

1. Branch Name
2. Date (DD/MM/YYYY)
3. Account number & Name
4. Email ID (optional)

These details must be provided for the account holder to be credited directly.

Get these down before anything else. If you are depositing for someone else, write their account details and name; your own mobile number is fine for SMS alerts or any help.

PAN or Form 60 – when and where?

If the amount is ₹50,000 or more (cash or cheque), write your PAN in the small box near the top. No PAN available? Bring and submit Form 60. Below ₹50,000, this box can stay empty.

Step-by-step: Filling the SBI deposit slip for Cash

1 Step – Write the Date, Account number, and Branch

Don’t leave them blank; without these, the slip won’t be accepted.” Please write one by one.

2 Step – Identify yourself

• Name: the depositor’s name. If you are depositing for a friend/family, write your name here and the beneficiary’s name in the “Account Name” line if present. If there’s only one “Name” line, write the account holder’s name only.
• Mobile number: your active number or account holder number (helps the branch contact you if the cash count differs).

3 Step – Amount entries—figures first, then words

• Amount (₹): Write the total intended deposit. You have to align numbers to the box and leave no empty box between digits.
• Rupees (in words): write your depositing full amount after calculating each denomination and end with “only”. Also, avoid symbols, commas, and short forms here.
• For example: If you are depositing ₹5,250, write “5250” in figures and “Five thousand two hundred fifty only” in words.

4 Step – Break down the cash by denomination

In the “Cash Deposit” table:

This is the part most people miss or get confused about. The slip has rows for cash notes.

• ₹2000 notes – write how many you are depositing.
• ₹500 notes – enter count.
• ₹200, ₹100, ₹50, ₹20, ₹10 notes – fill accordingly.
• Coins – mention total coins and their value.

At the end, calculate the total and write it in the “Total Cash” column. You can use our free cash denomination tool for quick calculation.

5 Step – Ignore the cheque table for a cash deposit

Draw a single diagonal line across the cheque detail box. That tells staff you are not depositing cheques with this slip.

6 Step – Sign once and now, not at the desk

At “Signature of Depositor”, sign as you normally do. Don’t write anything in boxes named as “SWO/Passing Officer/Transaction ID”; those are for the bank staff only. Your sign is required, even if it’s not your account.

7) Hand-over sequence that actually works

• Place the cash on top, slip below, PAN copy/Form 60 (if applicable) under that.
• Keep the passbook ready if the branch insists on an update.
• Receive the stamped counterfoil (the detachable part right small side). Check that it shows account number, date, and amount correctly before leaving.

8) If the amount is large or the notes are mixed

• For very mixed notes, write the denomination table first, then copy that sum to the “Amount” field. It prevents a mismatch.
• For ₹50,000+, expect an ID/PAN check at the cash deposit counter. Without a PAN or a valid Form 60, cash won’t be accepted.

How to Fill up an SBI Deposit Slip for a Cheque easily

Cheque deposits usually require different details and fill-ups compared to cash. let check it out –

1. Write the Total Amount same as the cheque

• After listing all cheques, calculate and write the total at the bottom. If single check, enter the same amount as mentioned, including Paisa if mentioned.
• Even for cheques, you must write the total in words. For example: “Ten thousand four hundred only.”

2. Enter Cheque Details

The slip has a column for the cheque as a “Cash/Cheque No., Date & Name of Bank & Branch”. Here’s how to do it:

• Cheque Number: Copy the 6–8 digit number from the top right of the cheque. Write this number first in the box.
• Date: Enter the same cheque’s date (DD/MM/YYYY). Post-dated cheques won’t be credited before that date.
• Bank & Branch: You have to enter the same bank name where it cheque came from, and also include the branch name printed in the header of it. (Such as HDFC Bank, Nehru Place)
• Amount: write exactly as on the cheque.

3. Attach the Cheque to the Slip and Submit

• On the back side of the cheque, write “credit to SBI A/C 2311XXX your account number and full name”. Also, you’re signed. This links the instrument to your slip if they get separated.
• Staple the cheque to the top-left corner of the slip and sign the slip in the depositor’s signature field.
• Submit it to the cash counter.

• You can even print/download blank SBI deposit slips from online sources, but it will not work at the branch for official works, as it is not the official paper format provided by the bank.

Are they different SBI deposit slips for a savings account and a current account?

Not really. The deposit slip design is the same whether you’re depositing into a savings, current, recurring deposit (RD), or loan repayment account. The only thing that changes is the account number you mention.

1. Leaving sections blank – Always cross unused sections with a straight line.
2. Messy handwriting – Staff may misread your account number. Write in block letters if possible.
3. Not attaching a cheque – Many forget to pin/staple. Always attach securely.
4. Forgetting the account number on the cheque backside – Very common, causes delays.
5. Wrong amount in words vs. numbers – If they don’t match, your slip will be rejected.
