A cheque written by a woman to withdraw money from the bank has gone viral on the internet. The woman’s cheque mentioned unusual details that have sparked debate online, although it remains unclear whether the cheque is genuine.
A user named @smartprem19 has posted a video with this photo on the Instagram page. Looking at it, it looks like a photo of an IDBI Bank cheque. The name of the woman who filled the cheque seems to be Sangeeta. The date written on the cheque is December 2024.
While the name Sangeeta has been filled in the place of Name, in the place where the amount should be written, she has written “the total amount of rupees the bank has”. This cheque looks like a real one.
Those who shared this post have sarcastically captioned it with, “What did Sangeeta do? She emptied the entire bank!”
Many others have also commented sarcastically on the video. One person remarked that the cashier who saw the cheque must have fainted, suggesting it would take several days for him to regain consciousness.

Another joked that all the bank employees who saw this cheque may have had a heart attack. Some have questioned the cheque’s authenticity, deeming it fake. Others have suggested the situation is a deliberate attempt to go viral.
The incident highlights a common issue: many bank customers lack financial literacy and are unsure whether to use a cheque or a deposit slip for bank transactions. This often leads them to seek assistance from others.
A few days ago, a photograph of a deposit slip circulated widely online, prompting numerous comments. In the cash/cheque section, the woman had written, “I have to visit a fair with my husband.” Additionally, she had filled the amount field with “Kumbh” and the total amount section with “Kumbh Mela!” instead of the deposit amount. News18 Hindi, however, could not verify the image’s authenticity.
