Beyond India, the Gulf and South-East Asia, ChequeMaster carries layouts for a further eight countries. Coverage is thinner here — one to three banks each — but the layouts are real, measured from actual cheques, and they give you a working starting point.
| Country | Banks included |
|---|---|
| Canada | 3 |
| United Kingdom | 2 (Barclays, Lloyds) |
| Cyprus | 2 |
| Mauritius | 2 |
| Nepal | 2 |
| Bangladesh | 1 (United Commercial Bank) |
| Australia | 1 |
| Argentina | 1 |
Bangladesh follows the Indian pattern
United Commercial Bank's cheque is 202 x 93 mm with boxed date digits — the same shape as an Indian CTS-2010 cheque. Set the amount-in-words unit to lakh, since Bangladesh uses the lakh and crore convention.
If your Bangladeshi bank is not the one included, an Indian layout is a close starting point precisely because the format is so similar.
Nepal, likewise
Nepal also uses the lakh convention, and its cheques sit close to the Indian format. Two banks are included; others can be built from a scan quickly given the similarity.
Setting the currency correctly
This is the part most easily missed when working outside the main markets. Two settings decide whether an amount is written correctly:
- Decimal digits — 2 for most currencies. Three only for the Kuwaiti and Bahraini dinars and the Omani rial.
- Lakh or million — lakh for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka; million everywhere else.
The currency itself drives which name is written out and what the subunit is called. Set it in Settings before your first cheque.
Your country is not listed
That is not a blocker. ChequeMaster prints cheques of any size, and the layout editor builds a new layout from a scan of your own cheque in a few minutes — measure the paper, import the scan, drag the fields into place. Full walkthrough in creating a cheque layout from a scan.
Once built, the layout behaves exactly like a pre-loaded one, and you can reuse it for every future cheque book on that design.
