Banks to Decriminalize Issuance of Bad Checks

The National Coronavirus Headquarters has decided that banks should not reject checks with non-sufficient funds.
All checks maturing from April 21 to May 9 are covered by the decision, Mohammad Nahavandian, vice president for economic affairs, said.
The measure is in line with government measures to aid businesses hit by lockdowns imposed by the government to contain the Covid-19 outbreak.
