Holder of Bill

A person who hold the bill with his name with possession of bill and claim the amount due on it, is called holder of bill.

An individual who has lawfully received possession of a commercial Paper, like a check, and who is entitled to payment on such instrument.

A holder is distinguishable from a holder in due course since, in addition to possession of the instrument, the latter takes it for worth, in good faith, and in the absence of any notice that there's any claim against it or that it is owed or has been dishonored, which means that payment of it's been refused.

Rebate on Bills of Exchange

Amount which is allowed to drawee for early payment of bill of exchange is called rebate.

The portion of interest on short sale proceeds that's paid out to the borrower of a bond as an incentive for them to borrow the stock from a specific source. once a short sale takes place, the short seller often borrows a security through a loaner (who acts as an intermediary), WHO in turn borrows the security from associate owner of keeper. The short sale's return square measure then came to the lender, who then invests the return and earns interest on them. certain short sellers would possibly demand a portion of this interest, so as for them to do business with that particular loaner.

Retiring of Bill

A process of payment of bill before due date by drawee against rebate is called retiring of bill.

Retiring a bill means that making payment before the date of maturity. once the acceptor of a bill is prepared to form the payment of the bill before the due date, he could ask the holder to simply accept the payment, provided he receives some rebate or discount for the unexpired  period. Such a rebate or discount is an expense to the party receiving the payment and gain to the party making the payment.

Renewal of Bill of Exchange

An issuance of new bill by drawer to drawee when drawee is not in a position to meet the first bill is called renewal of bill.

Sometimes, acceptor of a bill finds himself unable to meet his acceptance on the date. thus he could approach the drawer of the bill before the maturity date arrives, to cancel the recent bill and draw a brand new bill with extended date. The acceptor during this case can in fact have to pay interest for the extended period. therefore the cancellation of the old bill maturity reciprocally for a brand new bill (which includes interest) for associate extended period is named "renewal of a bill of exchange".

There are 2 additional ways to renew a bill of exchange:

    The acceptor pays interest in cash and a new bill is accepted equal to the number of the recent bill.

    The acceptor pays an area of the number of the bill in money and accepts a new bill for the balance and interest.

Endorsement of Bill of Exchange

When a bill of exchange is transferred to third party or creditor/account payable to settle his debt is called endorsement of bill.

The drawer or holder of the bill may endorse (transfer) the bill in favor of his creditor for the clearance of his own debts. A bill of exchange may be a "negotiable instrument" i.e. a document that is transferable by delivery abruptly to the party liable (drawee).
