Can a bank issue a Demand draft for more than 50000 rupees?

Dear Pinky, Demand draft can be prepared for any amount. Charges vary from bank to bank and on amount to amount. Procedure for preparation of demand draft varies from bank to bank. Drafts can be prepared by paying cash or any other negotiable instrument tendered by the bank. However, there are various banks which does not prepare drafts by taking cash from the purchaser. The reason behind is that the issue and payment of drafts in cash by the banks are subject to Income Tax provisions and RBI guidelines against money laundering activities. Issue of these instruments of Rs. 50,000/- and above is not permitted against cash but only through debit to customers account or against cheques/other instruments tendered by the purchaser. Drafts for an amount of Rs.50,000/- and over cannot be prepared by paying cash to the bank. It can only be done by credit of the payees account or to his banker. Drafts of Rs.50,000/- and above are required to have signatures of two authorised officials. Before taking delivery of the drafts, please verify that the draft is complete in all respects including signature of the official(s) along with their specimen signature numbers at the place provided for.
