update...
I contacted the bank and they told me that the cheque is not cashed yet.
It has been 45 days though... should we be worried? How is this possible?
There is absolutely no cause for worry.
As per the timelines of MI3 applicants (post July 2011) the nmbr of days taken to encash your fees has been about 80 days from the date your application rchd CIO.
And the first every communication from CIO will reach you (by mail) in around 90 days.
What I would suggest is that when you complete about 65 days, send them a mail. They usually respond within 20 days, so by the time they respond your fee would have been cashed.
Do join us here on the thread below. There's a gold mine of information out there.
