What is Noting of a bill of exchange.

When a bill is presented for payment and acceptor fails to make payment, the bill gets dishonoured. In order to keep a legal proof of dishonour, the bill gets noted by the Notary public (which is approved by the government). In exchange of the Notary service, Notary public charges fees, known as Noting charges. Notary public notes the following facts:

1. Date and amount of the bill

2. Reasons for dishonour

3. Amount of Noting charges
