Replies (3)
The fundamental difference is as under:
A Bill of exchange is drawn by the person giving credit and is accepted by the person availing the credit in the favour of the drawer or his order to pay the beneficiary on certain future date.
A promissory note however is drawn by the borrower in favour of his creditor to pay on demand.

There are three parties namely drawer, drawee and payee
|
There are only two parties viz maker and payee
|
|
The drawer and payee may be the same person
|
Maker cannot be the payee
|
|
There is an unconditional order to drawee to pay according to the drawer’s direction
|
Contains an unconditional promise by the maker to pay to the payee or to his order
|
|
Payable after sight must be accepted by the drawee or someone else on his behalf before it can be presented for payment
|

The liability of the drawer is secondary and conditional
|
Liability of a maker of promissory note is primary and absolute.
