Q:

Briefly explain the purpose and benefits of retiring a bill of exchange to the debtor and the creditor.

A:

When a bill of exchange is to be retired before the due date by mutual understanding between the drawer and the drawee. This happens when the drawee of the bill has funds at his disposal and makes a request to the drawer or holder to accept the payment of the bill before its maturity. If the holder agrees to do so, the bill is said to retired.

The retiring of a bill draws a curtain on the bill transactions before the expiry of its normal term. To encourage the retirement, the holder allows some discount called Rebate on bills for the period between date of retirement and maturity. The rebate is calculated at a certain rate of interest.

Following journal entries are recorded:

In the books of the drawer:

On the retiring the acceptance and rebate allowed:

Cash A/c	Dr.
Rebate on bills A/c	Dr.
To Bills Receivables A/c

In the books of Drawee:

Bills Payable A/c	Dr.
Cash A/c	Dr.
To Rebate on Bills A/c

Q:

A:

Basis	Bill of Exchange	Promissory Note
Drawer	Creditor is the Drawer.	Debtor is the Drawer.
Order or Promise and Parties	It contains an order to make payment. There can be three parties to it, viz, drawer, drawee and the payee.	It contains a promise to make payment. There are only two parties to it, viz, drawer and the payee.
Acceptance	It requires acceptance by the drawee or someone also on his behalf.	It does not require any acceptance.
Liability	Liability of the drawer arises only if the acceptor does not pay.	Promisor has the primary liability to pay.
Notice	In case of dishonour, due notice of dishonour is to be given by the holder to the drawer.	No notice needs to be given in case of dishonour.
Stamp	Bills payable on demand need not to be stamped but otherwise stamps would be necessary.	It has to be stamped in any case.

Q:

Briefly explain the effects of dishonour and noting of a bill of exchange.

A:

Dishonour of a Bill means a situation when the acceptor of the bill refuses or is unable to pay the amount. In such a case, the holder of the bill can recover the amount from the Drawer or any of the previous endorsers. The holder of the bill may present the bill through a Notary Public and get the dishonour of the bill noted.

Noting will consist of the following:

Date, fact and reasons of dishonour;
If the bill is not expressly dishonoured, the reasons why he/she treats it as dishonoured and
The amount of noting charges.

The entries recorded for noting charges in the drawers book are as follows:

When drawer himself pays:

Drawee’s A/c	Dr.
To Cash A/c

Where endorsee pays:

Drawee’s A/c	Dr.
To Endorsee A/c

When the bank pays on discounted bill:

Drawee’s A/c	Dr.
To Bank A/c

When the bank pays in the event of sending the bill for collection to the bank:

Drawee’s A/c	Dr.
To Bank A/c

It may be noted that whosoever pays the noting charges, ultimately these have to be borne by the drawee.

Q:

Lilly sold goods to Methew on 01/03/2017 for ₹12,000 and drew upon Methew 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 Methew and Lilly paid ₹45 as noting charges. Methew 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 Methew and prepare Mathew’s account in the books of Lilly and Lilly’s account in the books of Methew.

Note: In this question, there is a contradiction. As per the discounting rule–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 ₹45. Thus, we have assumed that it is bank and not Lilly who presents, discounts and pays the noting charges in case of dishonour of bill.

Q:

Ravi sold goods for ₹40,000 to Sudershan on Feb 13, 2016. He drew four bills of exchange upon Sudershan. The first bill was for ₹5,000 payable after one month. The second bill was for ₹10,000 payable after 40 days; the third bill was for ₹12,000 payable after three months and fourth bill was for the balance amount payable after 19 days. Sudershan accepted all the bills and returned the same to Ravi. Ravi discounted the first bill with his bank at 6% p.a. He endorsed the second bill to his creditor Mustaq for the full settlement of a debt of ₹10,200. The third bill was kept by Ravi with him till the date of maturity. Five days before the maturity of the fourth bill, Ravi sent the bill to his bank for collection. All the four bills were dishonoured by Sudershan on maturity. Sudershan settled Ravi’s claim in cash three days after the dishonour of each bill along with interest @12% pa. for the terms of the bills. You are requested to record the necessary journal entries in the books to Ravi, Sudershan, Mustaq and bank for the above transaction.

Q:

Explain briefly the procedure of calculating the date of maturity of a bill of exchange? Give example.

A:

The term maturity refers the date on which a bill of exchange becomes due for payment. In arriving at the maturity date three days, known as days of grace, must be added to the date on which the period of credit expires instrument is payable.

Suppose a bill dated March 05 is payable 30 days after date it, falls due on Apr 07, i.e., 33 days after March 05 if were payable one month after date, the due date would be April 08, i.e., one month and 3 days after March 05.

However where the date of maturity is a public holiday, the instrument will become due on the preceding business day. In this case if April 08, falls on a public holiday then the April 07 will be the maturity date.

But when an emergency holiday is declared under the Negotiable Instrument Act 1881, by the Government of India which may happen to be the date of maturity of a bill of exchange, then it will be next working day.

Procedures:

Days of grace are not allowed when the bill is payable ‘on demand’ or ‘at sight’.
When the period of the bill is stated in days, the calculation of the maturity date will be in days (which includes the date of payment but exclude the date of transaction).
When the period of the bill is in months, calculation of maturity will be in terms of calendar months, ignoring the number of days in a month.
If the maturity date falls on a day which is a ‘public holiday’ the maturity date of the bill shall be preceding business day.
