This happens when some failed txn/order cancellation refund can't be returned to the original source of payment (like used some wallet/prepaid card/upi id now closed/deactivated).
 
I once got a cheque from them when I returned a product. I still don't know why they went this route instead of refunding it electronically, but it was an interesting sight. I never cashed it either.

I also now realize this might be an interesting strat for them not losing money on refunds lol - I think a significant portion of people wouldn't bother to cash checks for petty amounts below a few hundred.
I'm not saying they use this strat, I'm just saying this would work.

I mentioned earlier too, organizations/companies can only give cheque/DD if refund to original source of payment is not possible as per rbi rules.
 
The big brain move would be to order something from Amazon with COD and return them that Deutsche Bank cheque along with cash (Cash is optional and applicable only if the amount exceeds 100 INR).
 
My brother bought a clock and returned since it was COD he will get a cheque, waiting for it now. I doubt he will get time to physically visit bank specially when the amount is just 450 something
 
Is it cash or account payee cheque? maybe we can drop in the bank and let it cash otherwise I doubt people will visit the branch and stand in line to get 100rs cash. My brother asked to provide a coupon/giftcard/NEFT to use digital payment method but they gave some lame excuse.

been there
just call them to cancel it they will take 3-5 business days for it and after that they will issue refund in your amazon pay balance.

It doesn't matter if DB has no branch in your state. It will be processed through the cts system anyway. You can deposit it at any bank's branch / drop box where you have an account such as hdfc sbi icici etc
