Negotiable Instruments Act Section 93 — By and to whom notice should be given
CHAPTER VIII OF NOTICE OF DISHONOUR
General
Summary
If a promissory note, bill of exchange, or cheque is dishonoured (not accepted or not paid), the person holding it, or another party who remains responsible for it, must give notice of the dishonour to everyone they want to hold individually responsible, and to at least one person if they want to hold several people jointly responsible. However, no notice is required to be given to the maker of a dishonoured promissory note, or to the drawee or acceptor of a dishonoured bill of exchange or cheque.
Official Text
When a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque is dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment, the holder thereof, or some party thereto who remains liable thereon, must give notice that the instrument has been so dishonoured to all other parties whom the holder seeks to make severally liable thereon, and to some one of several parties whom he seeks to make jointly liable thereon. Nothing in this section renders it necessary to give notice to the maker of the dishonoured promissory note or the drawee or acceptor of the dishonoured bill of exchange or cheque.
