PAP: Payable at par or MCC: Multi-city cheques

The amount is credited in the account the same day and there are no inter-city collection charges associated with a normal cheques being encashed in another city.
A cheque issued at a branch in Chennai, can be encashed at a branch in Dibrugarh as if it were a local cheque.
There would be a notation on the top or the bottom of a cheque indicating its status as as PAP or MCC cheque.
When do you need it: By issuing a PAP or MCC cheque, you can save demand draft or cheque clearing costs.
