Devika owes Rs.15,000 to Lata. On 31th March, 2016 she sent a promissory note for the amount to be payable after 30 days to Lata. On the same day, Lata endorsed the bill to Sanjana to whom she owed a debt of the same amount. On the date of the maturity of the promissory note, the Government of India declared an emergency holiday. The bill was duly met by Devika as per the provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act. Pass journal entries in the books of Devika and Sanjana.
