3. When a negotiable instrument is
dishonoured, the holder must give a
notice of dishonour to all the previous
parties in order to make them liable.
Dishonour means not honouring one’s
obligation. A negotiable instrument can be
dishonoured either by non acceptance or
by non- payment. A cheque and a
promissory note can only be dishonoured
by non-payment but a bill of exchange can
be dishohoured either by non acceptance
4. DishonourByNon-Acceptance(section91)
Since presentment for acceptance is required
only of a bill of exchange, it is only the bill of
exchange which could be dishohoured by non
acceptance. A bill of exchange can be
dishonoured by non acceptance in the following
ways:
1. If a bill is presented to the drawee for
acceptance and he does not accept it within
48 hours from the time of presentment for
acceptance.
2. When the drawee is a fictitious person or if
he cannot be traced after reasonable search.
5. 4. When a bill is accepted with some
consideration the holder may treat the bill
of exchange having been dishonoured.
5. When the drawee has either become
insolvent or is dead.
6. When presentment for acceptance is
excused and the bill is not accepted.
6. Dishonour by non payment
(Section 92)
If the acceptor fails to make payment when it
is due, the bill is dishonoured by non-payment.
In the case of promissory note if the maker
fails to make payment on the due date the note
is dishonoured by non-payment. A cheque is
dishonoured by non-payment as soon as a
banker refuses to pay.
Effect of dishonour. When a negotiable
instrument is dishonoured either by non
acceptance or by non-payment, the other
parties thereto can be charged with liability.

Notice of dishonour means the actual notification of

discharge all parties other than the maker or the
acceptor (Sec. 93).
Notice of dishonour dose not mean mere knowledge,
there must be a formal communication of the fact of
dishonour. Mere statement in the notice that the
payment was demanded is not enough. A notice given
after two year of dishonour is not a notice given within
a reasonable time. Notice must be given at the place of
business or at the residence of the party for whom it is
intended.
8. Notice by whom?
The holder of the instrument or same
party to it who is liable thereon must give a
notice of dishonour to all the prior parties
whom he wants to make liable on the
instrument or some party to it who is liable
thereon must give a notice of dishonour to
all the prior parties whom he wants to make
liable on the instrument. (Section 93). Each
party receiving notice of dishonour must, in
order to render any prior party liable give
notice of dishonour to such party within a
reasonable time after he has received it.
9. Notice to Whom ?
Notice of dishonour must be given to all
parties to whom the holder seeks to make
liable. No notice need be given to a maker,
acceptor or drawee, Who are the principal
debtors (Section 93).
10. Mode of Notice.
The notice of dishonour may be oral or
written or partly oral and partly written.
It may be sent by post. It may be any
form but it must inform the party to whom
it is given either in express terms or by
reasonable intendment that the
instrument has been dishonoured and in
what way it has been dishonoured and that
the person served with the notice will be
held liable thereon.
11. Place of Notice.
The place of business or (in case such
party has no place of business) at the
residence of the party for whom it is
intended, is the place where the notice
is to given.
12. When notice of
dishonour is
unnecessary (Section
98)
Notice of dishonour must be given by a
holder to the persons whom he seeks to
make liable on the instrument. But notice of
dishonour is not necessary in the following
cases:
1. It mean that the party who is entitled to the
notice may expressly or impliedly waive the
same.
13. 4. When the party entitled to notice cannot
after due search be found or where the
party bund to give cannot give notice

5. Where the drawer and acceptor are the
same person.

not negotiable.
7. When the party entitled to notice,
knowing the facts, unconditionally agrees
to pay the amount.

note, bill of exchange of cheque is
dishonoured by non acceptance or non
payment the holder must give notice of
dishonour to all the parties to the
instrument whom he seeks to make liable
thereon.(Sec.93).
(2) Noting and protesting. When a promissory
note or bill of exchange has been
dishonoured by non acceptance or non-
payment, the holder may cause such
dishonour to be noted by a notary public
upon the instrument or upon a paper
attached thereto or partly upon each
15. (3) Suit for money. After the formality of
noting and protesting is gone through, the
holder may bring a suit against the parties
liable for the recovery of the amount due
on the instrument.
16. NOTING AND
PROTESTING
When a negotiable instrument is
dishonourd, the holder may sue the prior
parties i.e. the drawer and the indorsers
after he has given a notice of dishonour to
them. The holder may need an authentic
evidence of the fact that a negotiable
instrument has been dishonoured. When a
cheque is dishonoured generally the bank
who refuses payment returns back the
cheque giving reasons in writing for the
17. Noting
Section 99 provides a made of
authenticating the fact of the bill having been
dishonoured. Such mode is by noting on the
instrument. Noting is a minute recorded by a
notary public on the dishonoured instrument or

notary public who represents it for acceptance
or payment as the case may be and if the
drawee or acceptor still refuses to accept or
pay the bill, the bill is noted as stated above.

thereof. The chief advantage of protest is
that the court on proof of the protest shall
presume the fact of dishonour.
19. • When the acceptor of a bill becomes
insolvent or suspends payment before the
date of maturity, or when he absconds the
holder may protest it in order to obtain
better security for the amount due.
• Notice of protest may be given to prior

exchange are required to be protested,
notice of protest must be given instead of
notice of dishonour. (sec.102).

dishonour when such protest is required by
