When businesses handle vendors, salaries, refunds, or supplier payments, cheque printing becomes a common task. Doing it one by one is time-consuming, especially when you need to issue multiple cheques on the same day.

Tally Prime solves this problem through a dedicated report that allows you to preview, format, and print multiple cheques at once—saving time and ensuring accuracy.

The correct report in Tally Prime for printing multiple cheques at once is:

✔ Cheque Printing Summary

This report lists all pending cheque payments and lets you preview, select, and print multiple cheques in a single batch.

This article explains why this report is important, how it works, and how businesses can benefit from using it daily.

What Is the Cheque Printing Summary in Tally Prime?

The Cheque Printing Summary is a dedicated report under the Banking module that displays:

• All pending payments
• Cheques that need to be printed
• Voucher details for each payment
• Bank name & account
• Party name
• Amount details
• Cheque format assigned

Instead of printing cheques one by one, this report groups all cheque payments in one place — letting you print them together.

This makes it the official feature used by accountants and finance teams to print cheque batches quickly.

Why Not Other Reports?

To avoid confusion, here is why the other reports do NOT support multi-cheque printing:

❌ Bank Reconciliation Statement

Shows bank transactions vs bank statement, not cheque print options.

❌ Balance Sheet

Used for financial position analysis — no relation to cheque printing.

❌ Profit & Loss Statement

Shows income & expenses — unrelated to cheque printing.

Only Cheque Printing Summary provides a list of pending cheque payments with print options.
