We have this word, TANKHAH, in Khalsa Vacobulary. What it means? Who pays this "PAY CHEQUE". Is it from Guru to the Sikh? or otherwise, From Sikh to the Guru. If it is from the Guru to the Sikh; then certainly it is blessing to get it. And even if it is from Sikh to the Guru; it is a blessing, that Guru Sahib has forgiven our mistakes and blessed us with a fine.

Can we know more about this word, TANKHAH ? Please.

As per the above, the word Tankhah in the meanings of punishment is the number 2 meaning above.
