CHQ IS A NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT,BLANK CHQ ALSO GIVEN AS SECURITY CAN BE CLAIMED AS LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE DEBT, IT ATTRACTS SEC 138 OF NI ACT.

Better execute a written agreement mentioning therein that such and such cheques are being deposited blank as security and can be used at later stage at appropriate time by giving prior notice to the drawer of the cheque. I think drawer shall have no objection to give his blank cheques in such circumstances. Provide one copy of agreement to him also.

Blank cheques can easily be missused by anyone, that's why your channel partner did not want to provide blank cheques. Better execute a written agreement mentioning therein that these cheques are being deposited as security.
