A post dated check is a check on which the issuer has stated a date later than the current date. Any cheque or draft that has a future date written upon it is received by the user from the other party. The amount of the check will not be drawn from the account until the date written on the check. For example- a check written on the 14th of the month but dated for the 28th will not be cashed for another two weeks.
