Question
Give the meaning of rebate.

Answer

If the drawee expresses his/ her wish to pay the bill before the due date to the holder, and if the holder accepts his/ her request, then on account of the early payment, the holder may give some discount. This discount is termed as rebate. In other words, rebate is a discount given by the holder to the drawee (or acceptor) for his/ her request of early payment of the bill before the due date. It is an expense for the drawer and hence, is debited to the drawer’s books. On the other hand, as it is a gain for the acceptor of bill, so it is credited in the drawee’s books. Entry in the books of drawer of the bill.
