since the bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument, the holder of a bill can sell it to a bank, whenever should be stand in need of money before its due date. This is called discounting the bill. The discounting charge made by the bank is the interest on the amount of the bill for the unexpired period of the bill. Such charge is known as banker's discount. It is calculated at a certain rate of interest per Annam on the amount of the bill for the unexpired period.

How cash discount differ from trade discount?

Trade discounts are guranteed discounts a business is getting by purchasing from a seller. Cash discounts are OPTIONAL discounts that a buyer gets if they opt to pay their bill (invoice) earlier then the due date. The seller specifies in the invoice how many days earlier a buyer has to pay their bill to get the cash discount. If a cash discount is taken, it is applied after the trade discounts, but before shipping and handling charges.
