The correct answer is D. All of the above.
A negotiable instrument is a document that can be easily transferred from one person to another. It is a written promise or order to pay a certain amount of money to a specific person or to the bearer of the instrument.
The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 is an act of the Parliament of India to regulate the use of negotiable instruments in India. The Act defines a negotiable instrument as a “promissory note, bill of exchange, or cheque payable to order or bearer”.
A promissory note is a written promise by one person to pay a certain amount of money to another person. A bill of exchange is an order by one person to another person to pay a certain amount of money to a third person. A cheque is an order by a person to his or her banker to pay a certain amount of money to a third person.
All of these instruments are mentioned under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
