Sale ₹30,000. 50% = ₹15,000 paid immediately; a 2% cash discount = ₹15,000 × 2% = ₹300 is allowed, so cash actually received = ₹14,700. For the other ₹15,000, Sunil draws a promissory note for 20 days. Maturity = Jan 01 + 20 days = Jan 21, plus 3 days of grace = 24 Jan 2016. As 24 Jan 2016 is a public holiday (known in advance), the note becomes due — and is presented — on the preceding business day, 23 Jan 2016. No interest arises.
