Q5 :What is meant by maturity of a bill of exchange?
Answer :
Maturity of a bill means a date on which the bill is due for payment. Maturity date of the bill differs on the basis of the terms and conditions of the bill. There are three types of bill, viz. after date bill, after sight bill and at sight bill.
1. After date bill: In case of after date bill, the payment of the bill is made on the maturity date of the bill. The maturity date of the bill is ascertained by adding three days of grace period with the specified period of the bill (which starts from the date of drawing). For example, if a bill is drawn on 1^st March, 2011 and payable after one month; its maturity date is 4^th April. If the maturity date happens to be a gazetted holiday, then the bill is due for payment one day before. However, if the maturity date happens to be a casual holiday, then the bill is due for payment after one day.
2. After sight bill: In case of after sight bill, the payment of the bill is made on the maturity date of the bill. The maturity date of the bill is ascertained by adding three days of grace period with the specified period of the bill (which starts from the date of acceptance by the drawee). For example, if a one month bill is drawn on 1^st March, 2011 and is accepted by the drawee on 5^th March, 2011; its maturity date is 8^th April. In this case, the date of the bill starts from 5^th March and not from 1^st March. If the maturity date happens to be a gazetted holiday, then the bill is payable one day before. However, if the maturity date happens to be a casual holiday, then the bill is payable after one day.
3. At sight bill: In case of at sight bill, the due date of the bill is considered as and when the bill is presented for payment by the holder of the bill. In this case, there is no grace period. The bill becomes due whenever it is presented for payment.

Q6 :What is meant by dishonour of a bill of exchange?

Answer : A bill is drawn in favour of a person from whom the amount is due. In other words, a bill of exchange is drawn by the creditors on his/her debtors to make payment of specific amount, on a mentioned date. Generally, a bill is drawn by a seller to a purchaser. Purchaser accepts the bill for the amount due on account of the credit sales. The bill may be accepted for the amount due other than credit purchases, such as commission payable, salary outstanding, etc. A bill cannot come into existence without the acceptance of a debtor.

Q9 :What is Noting of a bill of exchange.
Answer :
When a bill is presented for payment and acceptor fails to make payment, the bill gets dishonoured. In order to keep a legal proof of dishonour, the bill gets noted by the Notary public (which is approved by the government). In exchange of the Notary service, Notary public charges fees, known as Noting charges. Notary public notes the following facts:
1. Date and amount of the bill
2. Reasons for dishonour
3. Amount of Noting charges

Q10 :What is meant by renewal of a bill of exchange?
Answer : When an acceptor of a bill does not have sufficient fund to meet the obligations of the bill on time, he/she requests the drawer for extension (of time) for payment. If the drawer agrees, then a new bill is drawn which is known as renewal of bill. Generally, a bill is renewed on the condition that the drawee has to pay interest for the extended period.

Q14 :Give the meaning of rebate.
Answer : If the drawee expresses his/her wish to pay the bill before the due date to the holder, and if the holder accepts his/her request, then on account of the early payment, the holder may give some discount. This discount is termed as rebate. In other words, rebate is a discount given by the holder to the drawee (or acceptor) for his/her request of early payment of the bill before the due date. It is an expense for the drawer and hence, is debited to the drawer’s books. On the other hand, as it is a gain for the acceptor of bill, so it is credited in the drawee’s books.

Q1 :A bill of exchange must contain an unconditional promise to pay. Do you agree with a statement?
Answer : According to Negotiable Instrument Act, 1981, “A bill of exchange is defined as an instrument in writing, containing an unconditional order, signed by the maker, directing a certain person to pay a certain sum of money only to, or to the order of, a certain person or to the bearer of the instrument.”
A bill of exchange contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain sum of money on an agreed date to the drawer or the bearer by the drawee of the bill.
An unconditional order to pay: It is one of the important characteristic of a negotiable instrument. Unconditional order implies no condition should be attached by the acceptor regarding the payment. The conditions like, payment of bill (only in case of profit on sales), payment of bill (only if the prices of goods increase), etc. should not be attached with the bill. Moreover, the language of the bill should not be ambiguous.

Q2 :Briefly explain the effects of dishonour and noting of a bill of exchange.
Answer : When a bill is presented for payment and the acceptor fails to make the payment, the bill gets dishonoured. In this situation, liability of the acceptor is restored.
Entry in the books of drawer (if Noting charges are not paid):

Drawee		Dr.
	To Bills Receivable A/c
(Bill dishonoured)

Entry in the books of drawee:

Bills Payable A/c		Dr.
	To Drawer
(Bill dishonoured)

Noting charges are charged by the notary public for keeping a proof that the bill is dishonoured. The noting charges are paid by the holder of the bill but actually due on the drawee or the acceptor of the bill..

1. Date and amount of bill

2. Reasons for dishonour

3. Amount of noting charges

Effect of Noting charges in the books of holder of bill (if Noting charges are paid):

Drawee		Dr.
	To Bills Receivable A/c
	To Cash A/c (Noting charges)
(Bill dishonoured and Noting charges paid)

Q3 : Explain briefly the procedure of calculating the date of maturity of a bill of exchange? Give example.
Answer :
The procedure to calculate the date of maturity of a bill of exchange is given below.
1. Ascertain the date on which the bill will be honoured.
2. Add three days of grace to the above date.
For example, a bill with maturity period of one month is drawn on 1st July and due date is 1st September. Then add 3 days of grace and payment will be made on 4th September.
Days of grace depend on the following situations:
1. Declared holidays: If the payment day happens to be a national holiday or Sunday, then the preceding day becomes the payment day.
For example,
If a bill is drawn on 12^th July and its due date is 12^th August, then after adding 3 days of grace the maturity day is 15^th August. However, as 15^th August is a national holiday; so, 14^th August becomes the payment day.
If a bill is drawn on 1^st May and the maturity period is of one month, then the due date is 1^st June. After adding 3 days of grace, the payment date becomes 4^th June. However, if 4^th June happens to be a Sunday, then the payment will be made on 3^rd June.
2. Undeclared holidays: If the payment day happens to be an emergency holiday, then the succeeding day becomes the payment day. For example, if a bill is drawn on 1^st May and is payable after 15 days, then, after adding 3 days of grace period, the due date becomes 18^th May. However, if a national strike is declared on 18th May, then 19^th May becomes the due date of the bill.

Q4 :Distinguish between bill of exchange and promissory note.
Answer :

Basis of Difference	Bills of Exchange	Promissory Note
Order or promise	It is an order to pay.	It is a promise to pay.
Parties	There are three parties involved, drawer, acceptor and payee.	There are two parties involved, maker and payee.
Drawer	It is drawn by the creditor.	It is drawn by the debtors.
Acceptance	It needs acceptance by the drawee.	As it is prepared by promissor, so no acceptance is required.
Payee	Drawer and payee may be the same.	Promissor cannot be the payee.
Noting	In case of dishonour of the bill, the bill may get noted.	Noting is not necessary.
Liability	Drawer is not primarily liable.	Promissor is the primarily liable.

Q5 :Briefly explain the purpose and benefits of retiring a bill of exchange to the debtor and the creditor.
Answer :
When a holder receives the amount of a bill before the maturity date on request of the acceptor, it is called retirement of the bill of exchange. Holder of the bill may give discount for such earlier payment. This discount is termed as ‘rebate’.
Rebate is given by the holder to the acceptor of the bill on account of payment before the due date. Rebate is a loss for the holder of the bill; so, it is debited in the books of the holder when payment is received.

Rebate A/c		Dr.

Q17 : Lilly sold goods to Mathew on 1.3.2006 for Rs 12,000 and drew upon Mathew a bill of exchange for the same amount payable after two months. Lilly immediately discounted the bill with her bank at 9% p.a. The maturity date of the bill was a non business day (holiday), therefore, Lilly had to present the bill as per the provisions of the Indian Instruments Act.1881. The bill was dishonoured by Mathew and Lilly paid Rs 45 as noting charges. Mathew settled the claim of Lilly five days after the dishonour of the bill by a cheque, which includes interest @ 12% for the term of the bill. Journalise the above transactions in the books of Lilly and Mathew and prepare Mathew’s account in the books of Lilly and Lilly’s account in the books of Mathew.

Note : In this question, there is a contradiction. As per the discounting ruleâ€“Bank is regarded as the holder of the bill. It is the bank who presents the bill for payment and also pays the noting charges on behalf of the drawer (Lilly). However, as per the question, Lilly, who is presenting, discounting the bill and also paying the noting charges. Thus, in the solution, we have assumed that it is bank and not Lilly who presents, discounts and pays the noting charges in case of dishonour of bill.
