A cheque can be dated on Sunday and it is not invalid by only that reason. A cheque dated on Sunday or public holiday should be paid on the following working day.
A cheque dated on a non-existing date, for example 30 February or 31 November, should be paid according to its prior valid date.
In banking, ante-dating refers to issuing a cheque with a date prior to the date of issue. For example, a cheque issued on 15 October but bearing a date on 10 October.
