New Check Law Suspended Until March

The government on Saturday suspended enforcement of the new check issuance law until next March to prevent check-holders rushing to banks to settle payment issues arising from unfamiliarity with the new rules. 
Vice president for economic affairs, Mohammad Nahavandian, said the decision was made by the National Coronavirus Headquarters (NCH) as part of lockdown measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.
"The NCH decided to postpone the law until the end of the year to provide enough time for people to become acquainted with the new law," he was quoted as saying by IRNA.
