What is the difference between a good for payment cheque and a general cheque?

A good for payment cheque is a type of cheque that is guaranteed to be honored by the bank, often because it is backed by sufficient funds or a specific agreement, ensuring that the recipient can cash it without issue. In contrast, a general cheque may not have the same level of assurance; it relies on the account holder having sufficient funds at the time of cashing. If insufficient funds are available, a general cheque may bounce, leading to potential fees and complications.
