FAQs on Bills of Exchange (Part - 4) - Commerce

1. What is a bill of exchange and how does it work?
Ans. A bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument in writing that is used to transfer the ownership of a debt from one party to another. It typically involves three parties: the drawer (creditor), the drawee (usually a bank), and the payee (debtor). The drawer orders the drawee to pay a certain amount to the payee on a specific date or upon demand. The drawee then accepts the bill and becomes legally bound to pay the specified amount to the payee on the due date.
2. What are the advantages of using bills of exchange in commercial transactions?
Ans. Bills of exchange offer several advantages in commercial transactions. Firstly, they provide a secure and convenient method of payment, allowing parties to avoid the risks associated with carrying large amounts of cash. Additionally, bills of exchange can be easily transferred, making them suitable for international trade. They also enable parties to extend credit terms, as the payee can choose to discount the bill with a bank and receive immediate payment.
3. What is the difference between a bill of exchange and a promissory note?
Ans. While both bills of exchange and promissory notes are negotiable instruments, they differ in terms of parties involved and the payment obligation. In a bill of exchange, there are three parties: the drawer, the drawee, and the payee. The drawer orders the drawee to pay the specified amount to the payee. In contrast, a promissory note involves only two parties: the maker (debtor) and the payee. The maker promises to pay a specific amount to the payee on a specified date or upon demand.
4. Can a bill of exchange be dishonored?
Ans. Yes, a bill of exchange can be dishonored if the drawee fails to accept or pay the bill as per the terms. Dishonor can occur due to various reasons, such as insufficient funds, non-acceptance by the drawee, or non-payment on the due date. In such cases, the holder of the bill can take legal action against the drawee to recover the amount owed. Dishonor of a bill of exchange can have serious consequences for the reputation and creditworthiness of the drawee.
5. How can a bill of exchange be discounted?
Ans. A bill of exchange can be discounted by the payee if they need immediate cash instead of waiting for the due date. The payee can approach a bank or a financial institution to discount the bill. The bank or institution will deduct a certain percentage of the bill's value as a discount or interest fee. The payee will then receive the discounted amount in cash, while the bank assumes the responsibility of collecting the full amount from the drawee on the due date.
