Q6. I have used an e-Cheque to settle a MPFA payment before but somehow the e-Cheque is not honoured. Can I use the same e-Cheque to make a payment again?
No. If the e-Cheque has been presented to MPFA before, you cannot re-use it again. You must create a fresh e-Cheque from your bank to make your payment.
Q7. How is the time of receipt of e-Cheque(s) determined?
When the e-Cheque(s) is/are submitted to MPFA, the time of receipt by MPFA of the e-Cheque(s) shall be determined according to the MPFA’s system time and stated in an acknowledgement page of the "e-Cheque Collection Portal" after the entering of payment details and upload of e-Cheque(s), and your clicking the "Confirm and Submit" button on the same platform. Such acknowledgement of receipt is taken to be conclusive evidence of the time of receipt by the MPFA of such e-Cheque(s).
