What to Focus On

  • Bills of exchange, promissory notes, and cheques are negotiable instruments.
  • In India they are known as Hundis when written in Indian languages.
  • These instruments are governed by the Indian Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881.

  • It is a written order, not a request.
  • The order must be unconditional.
  • It has three parties: drawer, drawee, and payee.

  • Drawer is the seller/creditor who writes the bill.
  • Drawee is the buyer/debtor who accepts and pays the bill.
  • Payee receives the money on the due date.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A bill of exchange is just a written promise like a promissory note.

The maker of a promissory note can also be its payee.

A cheque is the same as an ordinary bill of exchange, so all bill rules like days of grace and noting apply to cheques too.
