PSI22.4.34 - Operational Procedures: General Administration - Banking Procedures - Receiving Cheques


(This archived guidance relates to HMRC discretionary practice before the 6th April 2006. For current guidance on Registered Pension Schemes see the Registered Pension Schemes Manual)

When receiving a cheque, the nominated person in the Applications Team should confirm that the entry in the ledger corresponds with the cheque. If the cheque and the details of the entry tally, then the ledger should be signed to confirm receipt.

If the cheque is in order, you must ensure that that it is sent to Accounts Office on the day of receipt ( seePSI22.4.40).

For problems with cheques (incorrectly completed; sent in error etc.) see PSI22.4.36-37.
