On the due date, bank informed that the bill is dishonoured and bank paid the noting charges  300. Manali requested Sayali to renew the bill. Sayali agreed on conditions that Manali should pay `Rs 20,000 in cash along with noting charges and accept a new bill for the balance amount with interest at 15% p.a. for 3 months.
