Cheque book issuance, stop-payment instructions, and banker's cheques all carry specific, published charges at Bank AL Habib — none of them fee-free by default. Here's exactly what each service costs, and which channel to use to request them, sourced directly from the bank's official Schedule of Bank Charges.
Cheque Book Charges
| Service | Charge |
|---|---|
| Standard cheque book | Rs 35 per leaf |
| Express cheque book (10 leaves) | Rs 450 |
| Specialized / customized cheque book | At actual |
| Pensioner accounts | Free cheque book |
Sourced from Bank AL Habib's official Schedule of Bank Charges, effective July 1 – December 31, 2026. Fee schedules revise twice yearly (January and July) — confirm the current rate before assuming these figures still apply if you're reading this well past the effective window.
Stop Payment of a Cheque
| Service | Charge |
|---|---|
| Stop payment instruction | Rs 750 per instruction |
| Cheque returned unpaid — insufficient funds | Rs 1,000 (or account balance if less than Rs 1,000) |
You can stop payment on a specific cheque or a range of cheques (from — to) directly through AL Habib Netbanking or the Mobile App, using the "Stop Cheque" option — no branch visit required. You can also check a cheque's status through the "Cheque Inquiry" option in the same channels.

| Service | Charge |
|---|---|
| Issuance of Banker's Cheque | Rs 600 |
| Cancellation of DD/PO/Banker's Cheque | Rs 700 |
| Duplicate Banker's Cheque | Rs 600 |
There's no charge for a Banker's Cheque or Demand Draft issued specifically for fee/dues payments to educational institutions, HEC, or exam boards — that exemption is built into the official fee schedule, not a bank courtesy you need to request separately.

Intercity Cheque Clearing
| Service | Charge |
|---|---|
| Intercity collection of cheques through NIFT | Free |

Cheque deposited but returned
If a cheque you deposit bounces due to insufficient funds in the payer's account, that's a "returned unpaid" charge on the payer's side, not something billed to you as the depositor.
Do it online first
Cheque book requests, stop-payment instructions, and cheque status inquiries are all available through AL Habib Netbanking and the Mobile App — a branch visit usually isn't necessary.
Fee schedule changes twice a year
Bank AL Habib revises its Schedule of Bank Charges every January and July — the figures above apply for the July–December 2026 period specifically.
