Despite the advent of the internet and mobile banking in the country, cheques remain a popular method to disburse and receive payments. Apart from their simplicity of use and reliability, the ease of writing one and better cheque-servicing by banks have ensured that this financial tool doesn’t go out of vogue.
Lakshmi Vilas Bank, as one of the premier baking institutions of the country, is much-sought after for its cheque-clearing facilities.

- To exercise the phone banking option, one can dial the bank’s helpline number 1800 425 2233 and talk to a company executive. The phone banking executive will take down the client’s request, which would then be conveyed to the home branch. The bank in turn would dispatch a new cheque book at the client’s address.
