Black Ink On Cheques Banned? RBI Clears the Air, Here's The Truth Behind

A claim has been circulating on social media, suggesting that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mandated the use of specific ink colors for writing cheques. However, the Press Information Bureau's Fact Check unit (PIB Fact Check) has debunked this claim, confirming that it is false and has no basis.
No Directive from RBI on Ink Colors The PIB Fact Check clarified via a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the RBI has not issued any directive requiring specific ink colors for cheque writing. This misinformation appears to be a useless rumor, and the public is advised to disregard it.
