Which of the following is not a negotiable instrument :-

  • A.Promissory note.
  • B.Fixed Deposit Receipt.
  • C.Bill of Exchange.
  • D.A cheque.

Answer: B

The instrument that is not negotiable is the Fixed Deposit Receipt.

Section 13 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 names three negotiable instruments: promissory notes, bills of exchange and cheques, payable to order or bearer. They can be transferred by delivery or endorsement so that the transferee gets a good title.

A fixed deposit receipt is only an acknowledgement by the bank of money deposited for a term. It is not an unconditional promise or order to pay a holder and is not transferable by endorsement, so it is not a negotiable instrument.
