Image based cheque clearing system or Cheque
Truncation System (CTS) is a project undertaken by Central banks
of many countries such as India (Reserve Bank of India – RBI),
UAE (Central bank), Saudi Arabia (Saudi Arabia Monitoring Agency
– SAMA) etc. for faster clearing of cheques.
CTS promises to bring multiple benefits to customers by substantially
reducing the time taken to clear the cheques as well as to the banks
by enabling them to offer better customer services and increasing
operational efficiency by cutting down on overheads in physical
clearing. In addition, CTS also offers better reconciliation and
fraud prevention. CTS uses cheque image, instead of the physical
cheque itself, for clearing of the cheque. The cheque image is truncated
at the presenting bank. Subsequently, the cheque image moves through
various steps in the cheque-clearing cycle and transactions are
settled on the basis of images and electronic data.
