'I promise to pay B Rs 500 seven days after my marriage with C.' This is:

  1. A bill of exchange
  2. A valid promissory note
  3. Valid if stamped
  4. Invalid, since the promise is conditional on an uncertain event
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Invalid, since the promise is conditional on an uncertain event

A promise to pay must be unconditional marriage with C may or may not happen, so the instrument is not a valid promissory note (contrast a payment on D's death, which is certain).
