Be careful about how you write dates in 2020, Do not write just "20" at all

It is notified that in New year when you’re writing down dates in official and legal documents, you should be crucial to pen the date very carefully write the year in its full four-digit form (2020).

Since the year is 2020, if you fail to write the year in full format, there are chances that anyone can easily backdate the year from 2000 to 2019. For example, if you fill in the date as 31/1/20 and not as 31/1/2020, anyone can backdate the year, according to the experts.

However, the ‘20’ at the end is susceptible to being manipulated, so someone could change the date to 2021 and claim the payment later, when the issuer of the cheque is not aware and may not have sufficient funds.
