Solution for the SB withdrawal error-"Stale instrument" in DOP Finacle


  • Generally in DOP we will use the menu CTM for deposit/withdrawal of SB accounts.
  • CTM stands for Transaction Maintenance.
  • When we try to withdraw the SB account there will be 2 mode payments either through cash or cheque in DOP. 
  • In order to do payment through cash use the menu CTM option.
  • In order to do payment through cheque use the menu CXFER option.
  • Customers can withdraw using the withdrawal form (SB-7) or use POSB cheques for SB withdrawals in DOP.
  • When we try to withdraw the SB account using the menu CTM through POSB cheque then the system will show the error-"Stale instrument" in DOP Finacle.
  • The error screen shot will be as shown in the below figure


  • From the error shot it is clear that the system is showing the error as shown in the above figure

Root cause of the above problem :- 

  • The above error will occur when the instrument date is greater than 3 months i.e., if the date of the POSB cheque is more than 3 months as per POSB norms we should not accept that cheque hence the system will display the error as "Stale instrument "
  • For example if the difference between instrument date and bod date(today's date) is greater than 3 months then system will throw above said error.

Solution for the above Problem :- 

  • When the above error occurs then advise the customer to present the new cheque with date on the cheque should be less than 3 months old i..e, Please specify instrument date as the date which is not exceeding the difference of 3 months from bod date.
