The protection a crossed-cheque offers is that if stolen etc. it cannot be cashed at the bank, only deposited in the account to which it is written out to.

As Raju Kulkarni said it:

Non-crossed, Cash Over the Counter is possible (along with deposit into account).

Crossed Cheque, Cash Over the Counter not allowed, only direct deposit into account.
