Question
What is meant by 'Retiring a bill under rebate'?

Answer

Retiring a Bill under Rebate When the drawee makes the payment of the bill before its due date, it is called retiring the bill. In such a case, the holder of the bill usually allows him discount, technically called “rebate'. Such rebate is calculated at a specified rate per annum for the period the payment is being made too early. The rebate is a gain to the party making the payment and an expense to the party receiving the payment.
