Cheque payments are not a part of the system. Participants who will function as operating units (OUs), will carry out these transactions for the customers. 

 The policy guidelines for the BBPS system were issued by the Reserve Bank of India on November 28, 2014. The document is available in the following link https://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=9368&Mode=0.
