one of our client has received a cheque of refund late. as cheque is valid for 3 months from the date of issue but my cline has received the cheque after the three months left from the date of issue. his return is filled manually, but cheque has been received under cpc system, of sbi only. pls give me right direction what to do in case..? thanks in advance.
RBI reduced from 6 to 3 months on 23rd November 2011, its fine, but its w.e.f 01.04.2012 banks wont accept the cheques dated more than 3 months from date of issue, so need to worry.

If the cheque has become stale, You will have to write a letter to the AO with whom you had filed the return of income to issue a new cheque in lieu of the original cheque.
