Q.22. What is Renewal and Retirement of a bill of exchange?
RENEWAL OF THE BILL
Sometimes the drawee of the bill is unable to pay the bill on its agreed date or time. In such a situation the drawee can apply to issue a new bill subject to certain conditions after the agreement of the drawer. This issuance of a new bill for some new time is known as renewal of the bill. After the issuance of the bill the former is considered to be cancelled. But if the drawee again unables to pay the newly issued bill, the first bill with all its farmer conditions becomes payable and valid.
RETIREMENT OF THE BILL
Sometimes the drawee pays the bill before the agreed date enjoying the rebate which is provided to him for prepayment of the bill. This is known as retirement of the bill. The amount of the rebate depends upon the time left for payment and the amount for which the bill is drawn.
