Section 20 of the negotiable instruments act

(Querist) 17 March 2015 This query is : Resolved 
Is not applicable in case of blank cheques given without writing a date across it.

If the proper stamp duty is paid - is fulfilled only if date is put on the cheque and it is current dated - since a cheque can not be issued which is not payable on demand as per definition of cheque.

There is stamp duty on bill of exchange which are not payable on demand.

Stamp duty will be evaded if cheque is made payable in future.
