Many rules and regulations have been changed in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic. Suggestions to change the validity period of cheques were also being considered. However, the Supreme Court has decided that the validity period of a cheque will not change amid the Coronavirus situation. The Reserve Bank of India was against changing the validity of a cheque as it could have greatly affected the banking operations. This decision was taken by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sharad Arvind Bobde, and two other judges – Justices R Subhash Reddy and AS Bopanna. It was a three-judge bench. The three-month validity of a cheque was decided by RBI under Section 35A of the Banking Regulation Act. All banking systems are supposed to follow this rule across the country and to not change the validity of the cheque in any manner. Currently, there are 276682 active cases in the country, 495515 people have been either cured or discharged, and 21604 have lost their lives to the deadly virus. Overall 793801 people are affected by COVID-19 in India.
