would do it on april 1 😀
----------
Reserve Bank hereby directs that with effect from April 1, 2012, banks should not make payment of cheques/drafts/pay orders/banker’s cheques bearing that date or any subsequent date, if they are presented beyond the period of three months from the date of such instrument.
i guess this ruling applies to banks who are to release the funds. since international checks are cleared by international banks, this ruling should not affect these checks. that is my interpretation 😀
