A Demand Draft is a cheque that contains an order of one branch of a bank ( Drawer branch ) directing another branch of the same bank ( Drawee branch ) to pay on demand a certain sum of money to a specified beneficiary ( Payee ) . It is an Account payee instrument, meaning it can only be credited to the account of the payee and cannot be encashed over the counter by the payee.A Demand Draft is a much safer and certain method of payment than cheques, since in the case of cheques, an individual is the drawer and hence the cheque can be dishonoured by the drawee bank due to insufficiency of funds in the drawer's account. But since in the case of a DD, the drawer is a bank, payment is certain and it cannot be dishonoured.
A demand draft is a pre paid negotiable instrument, wherein the drawee bank undertakes to make payment in full when the instrument is presented by the payee for payment.

A banker's cheque(Pay Order) is another payment instrument which is used by the banks to settle payment obligations on behalf of their customers. This instrument is guaranteed by the bank for its full value and is similar to a demand draft. In practice, these instruments are payable at the branch of issue and are used for payment within the local clearing jurisdiction.

The demand draft may not have been paid if:the drawee (the person who issued the DD) had cancelled the draftThere is a mismatch between the DD payee name (the person to whom the draft is entitled to be paid) and your name as per the bank recordsThere could be overwriting in the draftIf you are the legitimate person to whom the DD is to be paid, after receiving the request, the bank would take the necessary steps to get the payment due to you from the bank that issued the Draft.
Technically it should be possible as the amount has to be cleared by the issuing bank. But in India things work differently, especially with public sector banks. It could also depend on the amount size, if it is a big amount, banks have an interest in cancelling and putting that amount in pending.
