08 July 2011 According to me the validity period of a cheque is six month and after that it can not be utilized.

So according to me the one cancellation entry for previous cheque is made and issue a fresh cheque.

for this one make a reverse entry of the cheque issued earlier and then make another entry for issue a fresh cheque.
