Meaning of Inland Bills; A bill of exchange which is drawn or made in a country and paid in the jurisdiction of the same country is called inland bill.
The section 11 of Negotiable Instrument Act 1881 provides that the bills of exchange (including cheques/promissory notes) drawn or made in India and made payable in or drawn upon any person resident in India shall be deemed to be inland bill of exchange (or inland cheques or inland promissory notes as the case may be).
From the above definition, we understand that the following types of bills are called ‘Inland Bill’.
