Introduction to Negotiable Instruments

The video introduces the Negotiable Instruments Act of 1881, explaining that the year in the Act's name indicates when it was passed. The term "negotiable" means transferable from one person to another, while "instrument" refers to any written document creating a right in favor of someone. A negotiable instrument is a transferable written document used for business purposes, allowing the holder to sue if necessary. Transferability occurs through delivery or trade custom. Section 13 of the Act doesn't directly define a negotiable instrument but lists what it includes.

Kinds of Negotiable Instruments

According to Section 13 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, a negotiable instrument includes a promissory note, bill of exchange, and check payable to order or bearer. These types are defined by statute under Section 137 of the Transfer of Property Act of 1882. Additionally, instruments like bank notes, demand drafts, share warrants, dividend warrants, and hundis are considered negotiable due to their use in business and transferability. The video focuses on the three statutory instruments: promissory notes, bills of exchange, and checks.

Promissory Note: Definition and Features

A promissory note, as defined in Section 4, is a written instrument containing an unconditional promise signed by the maker to pay a certain sum of money to a specific person, their order, or the bearer of the instrument. It must be in writing and include an unconditional undertaking by the maker to pay a specific amount to the named person or bearer. The promise to pay must be unconditional, meaning no conditions are attached. The amount promised must be a certain and definite sum of money. The person to whom the promise is made must be a definite person.

Parties Involved in a Promissory Note

The parties involved in a promissory note are the maker, the payee, and the holder. The maker is the person who promises to pay and signs the note. The payee is the person to whom the amount is to be paid. The holder is either the payee or someone to whom the note has been endorsed. The holder is the one who possesses the note and is entitled to receive payment. The payee and holder can sometimes be the same person.

Bill of Exchange: Definition and Requirements

A bill of exchange, defined in Section 5, is a written instrument containing an unconditional order signed by the maker, directing a certain person to pay a specific sum of money only to or to the order of a certain person or to the bearer of the instrument. This is commonly used in business transactions, such as trading and purchasing raw materials. It must be in writing and include an unconditional order directing someone to pay a specific amount to a certain person or the bearer. The drawer must sign the instrument, and acceptance by the drawee is necessary.

Parties Involved in a Bill of Exchange

The parties involved in a bill of exchange are the drawer, the drawee, and the payee. The drawer is the one who makes the order for payment. The drawee is the person directed to make the payment. The payee is the person to whom the money is to be paid.

Check: Definition and Types

A check, as defined in Section 6, is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker, payable on demand. It includes electronic images of truncated checks and checks in electronic form, a line added post-digitization. Checks can be bearer checks, order checks, or crossed checks. A bearer check is payable to whoever possesses it, while an order check is payable to a specific person.

Types of Checks: Bearer, Order, and Cross Checks

A bearer check is payable to the person who holds it, provided the "bearer" word isn't canceled. An order check is payable to the person named on it. A cross check can only be collected through a bank, either through general crossing (two parallel lines) or special crossing (specifying a bank). General crossing means the check can only be deposited into an account, while special crossing directs the payment to a specific bank.

Parties Involved in a Check

The parties involved in a check are the drawer, the drawee (banker), and the payee. The drawer is the maker of the check or the account holder. The drawee is the bank directed to pay the money. The payee is the person or entity named on the check to whom the payment is to be made. Sometimes, the drawer can write "self" as the payee.

Conclusion

The video concludes by summarizing the definitions of promissory notes (Section 4), bills of exchange (Section 5), and checks (Section 6) under the Negotiable Instruments Act. It also mentions other relevant sections, such as those for "holder" (Section 8) and "holder in due course" (Section 9), encouraging viewers to remember these sections for better understanding.

0:00 Hello students, आज हम इस वीडियो में discuss करेंगे कि Negotiable Instrument Act की मीनिंग क्या होती है, Check की मीनिग क्या होती है और इसके Features क्या होती है, Similarly, Promissory Note and Bill of Exchange की Meaning and Features को भी हम इस वीडियो में discuss करेंगे. तो सबसे पहले कि Negotiable Instrument Act देखते हैं, यह Act 1881, that is 1881 is Year, इस Year में Pass Out हुआ है, किसे भी आक्ट के सामने जो एर में इंशन होता है वो डिनोट करता है कि वो आक्ट उस एर में पास आउट हुआ है तो निगोशेबल इंस्ट्रुमेंट आक्ट जो दो The term is made in front of us, which is made by the act that is Negotiable and Instrument. First of all, let's see what is Negotiable meaning. The word Negotiable means transferable from one person to another. When one person or another person is transferred, we call Negotiable. The second word is what? Instrument. What is the word Instrument?

0:50 The word Instrument means any written document by which a right is created in favor of some person. A written document in which a person has a right. Like a written document ऐसी चीज या ऐसा रिटेन डॉकुमेंट्स या ऐसा इंस्ट्रूमेंट्स जो ट्रांस्फरेबल हो किसे एक

1:36 परसन से दूसरे परसन के पास और transferable means that I have just told you that we are doing transferable with delivery. We need to transfer it with transferable. So, the second thing is that we give someone a negotiable instrument because it should be a business purpose. Like cash or bill of exchange, it is also capable of being sued upon by the person holding it for the time being. or If someone has something, then it also happens that if a case is defaulted or a problem comes, then a court case can also be made. So what does this thing have? What does this thing have? It is transferability. When

2:24 one thing is transferred, by delivery, by custom of trade, and this is also the capability that if someone holds it, then against or through it, it is received. In section 13, the negotiable instrument is not defined in the direct meaning of the negotiable instrument. Section 13 of the NIE Act does not define a negotiable instrument. definition is not given, like we have explained exactly if it is given a term, it is not given the meaning in this section. But in the section, we have shown what we call negotiable instrument, which means which things are

3:14 included. So as per section 13 of the Act, a negotiable instrument means, a promissory note, bill of exchange and check payable either to order or bearer. तो section 13, Negotiable Instrument Act का क्या कहता है कि Negotiable Instrument मतलब होता है, Promissory Note, Bill of Exchange और Check जो कि Payable हो Order पे या Bearer को, इसी को हम Negotiable Instrument कहते हैं, ऐसा कहा लिखा गया है, ऐसा Negotiable Instrument Act 1881 के section 13 में में mention है, ओकी, तो हमें ये तो पता चल गया, कि ये Negotiable Instrument का मतलब होता है, अब हम इसके Kinds देखते हैं, Kinds of जो कि उसके definition में ही mention है इसी को हम negotiable instrument कहते हैं मैं आपको एक और चीज़ बता दू कि

4:03 यह जो type आप देख रहे हैं यह section 137 of transfer of property act 1882 के according है 1882 के according कहता है कि negotiable instrument by statute these three kinds of kinds in the statute. But by customer and by users, there are also other kinds of kinds of kinds. Like bank note, demand after, share warrant, dividend warrant, hundi, all these are negotiable instruments. Because they use in business purposes, they maintain all the characteristics of transferability. So this transfer property is told in the Act that this negotiable instrument act is a statute through and a uses through. So since we have the negotiable instrument act to study the statute through section 13 we will discuss the three things here. First, let's take the promissory note. What

4:51 is the promissory note explained under section 4? According to section 4, a promissory note is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional undertaking signed by the maker to pay a certain sum of money only to or to the order of a certain person or to the bearer of the instrument. So, who has been given in section 4? Promissory note. What is the promise? It is an instrument. Instrument means writing. Instrument means writing. In writing, containing an unconditional undertaking. What should be in writing? Unconditional undertaking means an undertaking that is a shapat. A undertaking that has any condition attached प्लस उसमें वो किसकी दोरह साइन किया जाना

5:41 चाहिए मेकर के दोरह जिसने उसको लिखा हो उसकी दोरह वो साइन होना चाहिए उसमें क्या बात लिखी जानी चाहिए कि unconditional undertaking के साथ ये भी mention होना चाहिए कि certain sum of money को pay किया जाना है, right? किसको pay किया जाना, only to, जिसको नाम mention है उसे, या or to the order of, या उसके order पे किसी और को a certain person, जिसका नाम mention होगा, or to the bearer of the instrument, या फिर उसे जिसके पास ये instrument होगा, bearer of the instrument तो जो hold करके रखा है, तो प्रॉमिस्री नोट एक रिटेन डॉकुमेंट्स होता है जिसमें अनकंडिशनल अंडर्टेकिंग ली जाती है इंपोर्टेन बात होती है कि प्रॉमिस्री नोट क्या होता है अनकंडिशनल अंडर्टेकिंग होती है जहां पर मेकर के थोरा जाइन किया गया होता है सर्टेन

6:31 which is also kept in the instrument. We call it a promissory note. We look at the requirements of the requirement. What are the features of the promissory note? First is what? It must be in writing. Obviously, writing is very important. Second, the promise to pay must be unconditional. There should be a promise to pay. There should be a promise to pay. I will mention another thing about the promise to pay. The word promise is not essential to constitute instrument as a promissory note exactly because promise exactly word is mentioned in the writing statement we will say that this is not essential but yes we should promise that we will pay something

7:19 and must be unconditional condition not attached like I have written that a promise to pay b rupees 5000 seven days after his marriage with C. So I have attached the condition that AB will give 5,000 rupees when he will marry C after that. So now this will be a promissory note. No. Why? Because there is a condition attached. So how do you talk about payment? Unconditional. No condition attached. Next is what? amount promised must be certain and definite sum of money. What is promised that I will pay that amount or I will do? What should it be? It should be certain and definite. That there is exactly the payment. Suppose I just say that I promised to pay Mr. B. Rs. 50,000

8:05 and also deliver him a single car. So what did I promise that I will give him 50,000 and I will give him a single car. So what happened now? but the amount of desired car is not fixed, the market rate is not fixed, the amount of discount is not fixed, so this is not a promise or not, I have promised to pay Mr. B. Rs. 50,000 then what is the promise note? बिल्कुल होता है क्योंकि certain fix amount है यहां पर मैंने test कर दिया कि also a delivery में स्वफ desire कार so it's not a promissory note next is what instrument must be signed by the maker next is what कि जो भी instrument

8:54 हो इस पर sign होनी चाहिए किसकी maker की sign होनी चाहिए If I promise that I will pay, I need to sign that I am ready. If anyone can write something, I will not write something. If I sign, I will be authorized. Then I will be authorized. This is a feature. The last feature is the person to whom promise is made must be a definite person. The person who is saying to pay the payment is a definite person. I do not say that I will pay the payment. The person who is known to pay the payment is a person. Right? Next is what? Parties to Promissory Note. Now, who parties involved in the Promissory Note? One is your maker. Who is the maker? The person who promised to pay. The person who promised to pay, he will write, he will be the maker.

9:41 So, the person who is making the maker will say, what will he write? I promise to pay the person who promised to pay. We call the maker who is paying. Second part is what? Pay. Person to whom the amount of the note is paid. But in the promise note, the amount of the note is paid. वह आपका क्या कहलाएगा कि आपका पेई कहलाएगा राइट अनेक्स इस वोट होल्डर तो होल्डर क्या हो गया आइधर पेई और परसंटु हूम दा नोर्ड में हैं अन्डोर्स तो होल्डर मत्ब क्या हो गया जिस जो होल्ड करके रख्थ है जिसके पास है तो या तो वह प If you have a bill, a promise or a

Another important thing about the check is that it is over the counter, OTC. Over the counter in the sense that whoever has a check will be paid to the bank, the check can be

16:55 paid for the bank. That is the bearer check. Next is what? Order check. order check is what? Payable to a person without any Provisionary word. अब order check क्या हो गया? जिस person का नाम? जोता है निकि order to pay Mr. X Mr. Y जो भी होगा? तो मतलब वहाँ पे हो गया कि इन ही person को specifically बोलागे कि इन ही person को pay करना है. तो वो क्या हो गया? order check हो जाता है. अब आपको थोड़ा सा हो रहा हो कि order and baron check में क्या difference हुआ? अब exactly अ जिस पे की bearer word को cut या cancel नहीं किया किया है right तो मतलब वो कैसे चेको गया bearer चेको गया तो अब क्या हुआ कि वो चेक हो जाता है जब वो चेक हो गया और अब क्या हुआ वो चेक किसी और

18:29 I have called OTC. OTC that is over the counter. So order check and bearer check both cases. OTC is over the counter. You can pay payment on the counter. But what happens in cross check? Cross check, you don't have OTC. You can't pay cash on the counter. What happens in the account? Right. The person's name is mentioned. The person will pay money in the account. You can put the check, the person will deposit money in the account. So they say cross check. Cross check is two ways. general crossing is another one is special crossing general crossing means that

19:17 when two parallel lines are drawn on the face of the check means that इसी को हम cross check कह रहे हैं इसी को हम general crossing कह रहे हैं पर अब अगर मैंने उसी दो parallel line में लिख दिया bank of India suppose मैंने वो दोनो parallel line ड्रॉप की और उसके अंदर लिख दिया bank of India then क्या हो गया कि अब यह जो check है उसका amount deposit होगा only to bank of India किसी और bank account में मतलब जिस person का नाम हमने लिखा है वो person का bank of that is a special crossing check right is a lot of check like anti-dated

20:04 check post-dated check stale check mutilated check all types of check which are not so important that you have to learn specifically but otherwise there are many types of check then next is what check parties are there one is your drawer drawer is what maker of the check The drawer is the maker of the check or account holder. What is the banker of the bank? If the check is about the bank, then the account holder is the drawer. The drawer is the check for someone to pay. Next is the drawer. The drawer is the drawer. It means the drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. So, the check is the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. So, the check is the bank. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay

20:50 the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the money by the drawer. The drawer is directed to pay the bank. The drawer is directed to pay the bank परसन या ओर्डर नेम्ड इन दे चेक तो हूं मने इस डारेक्टि टो बीपेड बाई दा इंस्टूमेंट जिसका नाम उस चेक पे मेंशेन है जिसको पेमेंट मिलनी है यह दाट इस पेई सम्टाइम्स अगर मैंने लिख दिया चेक पे तू सेल्फ कई बार तू सेल्फ करके � So this is our check.
