If you want to submit your SBI cheque details to the Positive Pay system then first you need to register your account with the Positive pay system (PPS). You can activate your SBI account for positive pay online using net banking and mobile banking.
The concept of Positive Pay involves a process of reconfirming key details of large value
cheques. Under the process, the issuer of the cheque submits it electronically, through channels like
SMS, Mobile App, Internet Banking, ATM, etc. certain minimum details of the cheque to the
drawee bank, details of which are cross-checked with the presented cheque by CTS.
With effect from 1st January 2021, the facility is enabled for anyone issuing instruments above
Rs.50,000/-. Only those cheques, which are compliant with the above instructions will be accepted
under the dispute resolution mechanism under CTS grids.
