Re: lost cheque

A fool-proof protection may not be possible.

However, the account holder should inform the bank immediately; and ALSO report the matter to the local police. A certified copy of the DDR (Daily Dairy Report) recorded by the police may be kept for further use, if required.

Report loss to police and bank.

If despite this somebody misuse the same, then you need to prove that there is no legal debt or liability payable by you to payee of cheque.
