Solution SA 3

Essential features of bills of exchange are as follows:

  1. A bill of exchange is a written order to make payment
  2. It is an unconditional order to make payment by a person i.e. drawee
  3. The amount of bill of exchange and the date of payment are certain
  4. It is signed by the drawer of the bill
  5. It is accepted by the drawee by signing on it
  6. The amount specified in the bill of exchange is payable either on demand or on the expiry of a fixed period
  7. The amount specified in the bill is payable either to a certain person or to his order or to the bearer of the bill
  8. It is stamped as per legal requirements

Solution SA 4

There are three parties in a bill of exchange:

  1. Drawer is the person who makes the bill of exchange. She/he is a person who has granted credit to the person on whom the bill of exchange is drawn. The drawer is entitled to receive money from the drawee (acceptor).
  2. Drawee is the person on whom the bill of exchange is drawn for acceptance and to whom credit has been granted by the drawer. He/she is liable to pay money to the creditor/drawer.
  3. Payee is the person who receives the payment from the drawee. Usually the drawer and the payee are the same person.

 

Solution SA 5

The date calculated after adding 3 days of grace to the due date of a bill is called the date of maturity of a bill. It is to be noted that when a bill is to be payable on demand/at sight, then days of grace is not applicable. When the period of a bill is mentioned in days, the maturity of bill is calculated in days. Similarly, when the period of a bill is mentioned in months, the maturity of bill is calculated in months. In certain cases, when the maturity date of any bill falls on a public holiday, then the maturity date of the bill will be the previous business day.

Solution SA 6

When the drawee of the bill fails to make the payment on the maturity date of the bill, then the bill is said to have been dishonoured. Hence, liability of the acceptor is restored. Entries made for recording dishonour of the bill of exchange are as follows:

In the books of drawer

Drawee's A/c

Dr.

          To Bills Receivable A/c

 

(Being bill dishonoured)

 

 

In the books of drawee

Bills Payable A/c

Dr.

         To Drawer's A/c

 

(Being bill dishonoured)

 

 

Solution SA 7

There are two parties to a promissory note:

  1. Maker- The person who makes the note and undertakes to pay the amount.
  2. Payee- The person who receives the payment.

Solution SA 8

A bill of exchange is a written instrument which contains an unconditional order directing a person to pay a certain amount on an agreed date. In other words, it is drawn by the creditor on her/his debtors to make a payment of a certain amount on the mentioned date. Such a bill comes into existence after the consent of both the parties. A bill cannot come into existence without the acceptance of a debtor. Hence, the debtor of the bill has to accept the terms of the bill, sign the same and make it a legal document.

Solution SA 9

When the drawee of the bill fails to make the payment on the maturity date of the bill, then the bill is said to have been dishonoured. To have a legal proof of the dishonour, the bill gets noted by the notary public who is approved by the central/state government. The notary public charges fees called the noting charges for noting and protesting the bill of exchange of its dishonour.

Solution SA 10

When the drawee does not have enough funds to make the payment, he may approach the drawer and ask for an extension of time for the payment. If the drawer agrees, then a new bill is drawn which is known as renewal of bill. The new bill may include interest for the extended period.

Solution SA 13

Dr.

      To Cash A/c

(Being bill paid and rebate received on retirement of the bill)

 

 

 

 

Solution SA 14

If the drawee wishes to pay the bill before the due date of the bill to the holder and the holder accepts such request, then due to the early payment, the holder may give some discount to the drawee. Such a discount is termed as rebate.

Solution SA 15

Performa of a Bill of exchange is given below.

  

 

Solution LA 1

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."

 

As the definition mentions the bill is an unconditional order to pay i.e. no conditions should be applicable with respect to the payment and the drawee of the bill is obliged to pay the maker of the bill. This is one of the main features of a bill of exchange. All the conditions with respect to the bill, for example; the amount, the date of payment, the parties involved needs to be specified with clarity.

Solution LA 2

On the maturity of the bill, when the acceptor of the bill fails to make the payment, it is said that the bill is dishonoured. This restores the liability of the acceptor.

Entry in the books of drawer:

Drawee A/c

Dr.

-----------To Bills Receivable A/c

 

(Being bill dishonoured)

 

 

Entry in the books of drawee:

Bills Payable A/c

Dr.

-----------To Drawer A/c

 

(Being bill dishonoured)

 

 

Noting charges is the fee paid to the notary public for noting and protesting the bill of exchange of its dishonour.

Effect of Noting charges in the books of the drawer:

Drawee A/c

Dr.

-----------To Bills Receivable A/c

 

-----------To Cash A/c (Noting charges)

 

(Being bill dishonoured and Noting charges paid)

 

 

In the books of drawee:

Bills Payable A/c

Dr.

Noting charges A/c

Dr.

-----------To Drawer A/c

 

(Being bill dishonoured and Noting charges due)

 

 

Solution LA 3

The procedure to calculate the date of maturity of a bill of exchange is given below.

  1. Determine the date on which the bill will be due.
  2. Add three days of grace to the due date of the bill. It is standard process to add days of grace.
  3. The date obtained after adding the three days to the due date is called the maturity date of the bill.

However, the application of the days of grace depend on the following situations:

  1. Days of grace are not applicable when a bill is payable 'at sight' or on demand.
  2. When the period of the bill is mentioned in months, the calculation of the maturity date will be in the terms of calendar month.
  3. When the period of the bill is mentioned in days, the calculation of the maturity date is also calculated in days including the date of payment but excluding the date of transaction.
  4. If the bill matures on a national holiday or Sunday, then the preceding business day becomes the maturity date of the bill.
  5. For example, if the maturity date of a bill is calculated as on 15th August, 2015 then the preceding day that is 14th August, 2015 will be considered as the maturity date.
  6. If the maturity day happens to be an emergency holiday declared under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, then the next working day is to be considered as the maturity date.

Solution LA 4

Solution LA 5

When the drawee of the bill pays off the amount of the bill before the maturity of the bill it is called retirement of the bill. Holder of the bill may give discount for such earlier payment which is called as 'rebate'.

As the holder of the bill provides the rebate, it is a loss for the holder of the bill and hence it is debited in the books of the holder when payment is received.

Solution NUM 6

As per the provisions of Negotiable Instrument Act, when the maturity date of any bill falls on a public holiday then the maturity date of the bill will be the previous business day.

20 days after Jan 01, 2016 is 21st Jan, 2016. Adding 3 days of grace, we get the maturity date as 24th Jan, 2016. Previous business day is 23rd Jan, 2016.
