RECOMMENDATIONS
The physical cheque will be truncated within the presenting bank. Within the presenting bank the point of truncation could be decided by each individual member bank providing for Service Bureau models where banks can approach or set up Service Bureaux for capturing images and MICR data. Settlement will be generated on the basis of current MICR code line data.
CONT
Electronic images will be used for payment processing. Grey scale technology will be deployed for imaging. Images will be preserved for eight years. A Centralised Agency per clearing location will act as an image warehouse for the banks. Group recommended norms for agencies to provide the service. Public Key Infrastructure will be deployed to protect images and data flow over the network
