, What is a negotiable instrument?
A negotiable instrument is a specialized type of document that represents a
financial commitment and is easily transferable from one party to another. It
functions as a written contract that facilitates the transfer of rights related to
payment. The key feature of negotiable instruments is their negotiability,
meaning they can be transferred from one person to another in a way that gives
the new holder the same rights as the original holder.
There are three primary types of negotiable instruments:
1.Promissory Note:
- This is a written promise made by one party (the promisor) to pay a specific
sum of money to another party (the payee) at a specified time or on-demand.
It contains an unconditional promise to pay and is commonly used in various
financial transactions.
2.Bill of Exchange:
- This is an order in writing from one person (the drawer) to another (the
drawee) to pay a specified sum of money to a third party (the payee). Bills of
exchange are often used in international trade transactions.
3.Check:
- A check is a negotiable instrument that instructs a bank to pay a specific
amount of money from the drawer's account to the payee. It involves three
parties: the drawer (person writing the check), the drawee (the bank), and the
payee (the person or entity receiving the payment).
