The first ₹ 40,000 bill is cancelled on renewal; Neeta pays ₹ 10,000 cash, and interest of ₹ 600 (12% p.a. for 2 months on the ₹ 30,000 balance) is charged; a fresh bill of ₹ 30,600 is drawn and later honoured. Neeta's Account ties at ₹ 80,600.

Working note - interest on renewal: Balance after cash = 40,000 - 10,000 = ₹ 30,000. Interest = 30,000 x 12% x 2/12 = ₹ 600. New bill = 30,000 + 600 = ₹ 30,600.
