Journal Entries of Bills of Exchange


Before passing the journal entries, you should know about bills of exchange. There is the law which applies on Bill of Exchange. Its name is Indian Negotiable Instrument Act. 1881. This Act has defined Bill of Exchange.

"Bill of exchange is written order letter in which there is not any condition. Writer's sign will be in it. In this letter, order to other person is given to pay the certain sum of money to the writer of letter or to pay any other authorized person or who has this bill of exchange."

Now, we can define it in our own words which will help you to understand it. When a customer buy goods or borrow money. He has to pay money to creditor. In past when there is not any other alternatives of getting money, creditor had right to get money through writing this letter from debtor."

Today, there are lots of other alternatives like Paypal, payoneer,  checks, wire transfer and transfer through ATM. So, it has less important. But still as the student of  accounting, you should know its journal entries.

You should know first some terms which is used in bill of exchange.

1. Drawer = Writer = Maker = Creditor
2. Drawee = Acceptor = Debtor = Borrower
3. Payee or who have right to get payment

Maturity Date 

Due date of bill is also called maturity date and we can get three day of grace period for paying debt through bill.

Endorsement 

If drawer signs on the back side of bill for giving the right to other for getting money from debtor, it will be endorsement.

Dishonour of Bill of Exchange

If drawee or debtor does not pay the money of bill of exchange on maturity, then bill will be dishonour. After this, debtor will be responsible to his unpaid dues.
