(i) Endorsement of a bill
(ii) Renewal of a bill
(iii) Dishonour of a Bill
(iv) Date of Maturity

Solution 13:
(i) Endorsement of a bill:- Endorsement indicates that an exchange bill is signed for the purpose of being passed to another bill. Through placing his signature on the back of the document, the holder of a bill receivable may support the bill to another person.

(ii) Renewal of a bill:- The bill collector considers himself unable to comply with the bill on the due date. In any case, the owners of the bill will be asked to cancel the original bill and draw up a new bill in place of the existing one.

(iii) Dishonour of a debt:- If the bill collector refuses to pay the bill balance on the day of maturity or becomes insolvent, the bill is considered dishonour.

(iv) Day of maturity:- The ‘due date’ or ‘date of maturity’ is considered the date on which the balance of the bill becomes due. In other words, the due date is considered the date at which the term of the bill expires.

Question 14:
Explain any three of the following:

(ii) Exchange bill discount:- If the holder of a B/R wants money before the maturity date, he will discount the bank’s bill in order to obtain cash for it. Discount involves en-cashing the bill for the protection of the bill before the date of its maturity or borrowing from the bank.
(iii) Bill sent to the bank for collection:- Often the bill is sent to the bank with the instructions to hold the bill until maturity and recover its balance from the recipient on that date instead of discounting the bill.
(iv) Noting Charge:- The bill is typically turned over to an individual entitled ‘Noting Public’ assigned by the court to determine the fact that the bill was duly addressed and dishonoured.
