Bill dated Jan 17, 2017 for 45 days ⇒ maturity = March 06, 2017 (Jan 17 + 45 days = Mar 03, + 3 days of grace). The bill was retained and dishonoured; Abdulla paid ₹40 noting charges, so Tahir owes ₹18,000 + ₹40 = ₹18,040. Settlement five days after dishonour (Mar 11) is ₹18,700 including noting and interest ⇒ interest = ₹18,700 − ₹18,040 = ₹660.
