The date where the bill is ready for payment is called as maturity of a bill. The date of maturity is arrived after adding 3 days of grace to the due date as per terms of the bill. The concept of due date will further help you in understanding maturity of a bill. It consists of following terms
1. Bill at Sight: This type of bill is due as and when it is presented.
2. Bill after Sight: In this type of bill the due date is calculated from the date the debtor accepts the bill plus the period as per terms of the bill. Maturity date is calculated by adding 3 days to the due date.
3. Bill after Date: In this type of bill, the due date is calculated from the date on which bill is drawn plus the period as per terms of bill. Maturity date is calculated adding 3 days to the due date.
Exceptions to maturity of bill: If the due date of the bill falls on a national holiday (like Independence Day) or on a Sunday, at that time the bill due date is counted one day prior to the original date and if the due date fall on a emergency holiday (like nationwide strike) at that time the bill due date is counted one day later.

Payee | The same person can be payee and drawer | Promissor and Payee cannot be same |
Noting in case of dishonour | Dishonouring of the instrument, leads to noting of the bill | No requirement of noting |
Liability | Liability does not rest with the drawer primarily | Promissor is primarily responsible |
Q3. Briefly explain the purpose and benefits of retiring a bill of exchange to the debtor and the creditor.
Retirement of bill of exchange happens when the holder of the bill of exchange receives a payment from acceptor before the accepted maturity date of the bill. In such cases the bill holder provides some discount to the acceptor and such a discount offered is called “rebate”.
The following are the benefits of retiring of a bill of exchange for debtor and creditor:
1. Improves the trust between two parties in transaction, namely, debtor and creditor.
2. Allows creditor to use the money for further business
3. Rebate provided by creditor becomes revenue for debtor
4. More business transactions can be conducted between two parties.
Q4 Explain briefly the purpose and advantages of maintaining of a Bills Receivable Book.
In day to day operations, a business receives many bills. Maintaining a journal for all such bills is a cumbersome task. In this case, a specialized book is created which keeps record of all such bills that are received from the debtors. This book contains all the necessary information such as bill date, due date, amount, debtors name and it is summed up on a periodical basis and the balance thus obtained is transferred to debit side of the bills receivable account.
Maintaining a bills receivable book has following benefits:
1. All information pertaining to the bills receivable, such as due date, amount, etc., get recorded in one place, thereby makes it easy to access the records.
2. Likelihood of fraud is greatly minimized as bills are recorded in one place.
3. Higher level of liability and obligation exists on the person maintaining the accounts. If any error is spotted, it can be rectified easily.
4. Time of the accountant is saved as recording of transactions are recurring and similar in nature.
5. As it is a particular book only dealing with bills receivable, it is easy to locate all details pertaining to a specific bill of exchange.
Q5. Briefly explain the benefits of maintaining a Bills Payable Book and state how is its posting is done in the ledger?
Maintaining bills payable book has following benefits:
1. Quick, efficient and accurate recording of business transactions.
2. Minimizes the chances of fraud as all the bills are recorded at one place
3. A high degree of accountability and answerability on part of the accountant is observed as all the transactions get verified by the same person which leads to easy detection and rectification of errors.
4. As information is documented by an individual, it improves the division of labour and efficiency of organization.
Procedure of posting to ledger:
The recordings from the Bills Payable Book are posted to the accounts of the creditors who received acceptance from the debtors. These books are then totaled periodically and credited to the Bills Payable Account in the ledger.
Q6. A bill of exchange must contain an unconditional promise to pay. Do you agree with a statement?
The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881 defines bill of exchange as, “A bill of exchange is defined as an instrument in writing, containing an unconditional order, signed by the maker, directing a certain person to pay a certain sum of money only to, or to the order of, a certain person or to the bearer of the instrument.”
One of the most significant feature of a negotiable instrument is an unconditional order to pay. The drawee cannot add any conditions such as payment will be done only if debtors pay or business makes profit.
A bill of exchange must contain an unconditional order to pay for the following reasons:
1. To avoid any kind of conflict at the time of payment
2. To provide security to the creditor and also bound the debtor to pay the amount.
3. To comply with The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

Q2. Explain briefly the procedure of calculating the date of maturity of a bill of exchange? Give example.
The following steps discusses the procedure of calculating bill of exchange maturity date:
1. Determine the due date of the bill as per terms of bills of exchange.
2. Grace period of three days must be added to the due date to arrive at maturity date.
For e.g., a bill having due date of 30 days (a month) is drawn on 1st August then due date is 1st September. Adding 3 grace period we arrive at bill maturity and payment due date which is on 4th October.
Calculation of Days of grace period depends on these situations:
1. Known Holidays: If due date for payment falls on a national holiday or on a Sunday, then payment need to be processed the following day. The following examples will make it easier to understand.
- A bill that is drawn on 23rd December with due date of 23rd January, adding the grace period (3 days) the maturity date comes to 26th January. However, as 26th January is a national holiday; so, 25th January becomes the due date for payment.
- A bill is drawn on 1st June with maturity period of a month, the due date arrived is 1st July. On adding 3 days of grace, the payment due date is 4th July. However, if 4th July is a Sunday, in this case payment needs to be completed on 3rd July.
2. Unexpected holidays: If due date for payment falls on an holiday due to emergency, then the next day becomes the day on which payment needs to be done. For example, a bill drawn on 1st May with a term of 20 days, then, adding grace period of 3 days, the payment due date becomes 24th May. But, if a nationwide strike gets declared on 24th May, then 25th May is the new due date for the payment of the bill as per rules.
