Cheques become stale after the expiry of six months from the cheque date. The bank may dishonour the same and on confirmation from the drawer it can be paid.
However, i want to confirm the liability of the banker in case it makes payment against a stale cheque. Please mention the relevant section also.

The Bankers should not honour stale cheques. If by mistake they honour it is the duty of the Banker to re-imburse the amount alongwith costs and damages if any happended to the account holder. There is no any special section. But in the normal practice this is adopted.
