The following are the main differences between a cheque and a demand draft:

1. A cheque is issued by an individual, whereas a demand draft is issued by a bank.

2. A cheque is drawn by an account holder of a bank, whereas a draft is drawn by one branch of a bank on another branch of the same bank.

3. In a cheque, the drawer and the drawee are different persons. But in a draft both the drawer and the drawee are the same bank.

4. A Cheque can be dishonored for want of sufficient balance in the account. Whereas a draft cannot be dishonoured. Hence there is certainty of the payment in the case of a demand draft.

5. Payment of a cheque can be stopped by the drawer of the cheque, whereas, the payment of a draft cannot be stopped.

6. A cheque is defined in the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, whereas a demand draft has not be precisely defined in the NI Act.

7. A cheque can be made payable either to a bearer or order. But a demand draft is always payable to order of a certain person.

Define bank demand draft?

A Demand Draft is an instrument that signifies the availability of cash till the amount specified in the DD. It is similar to a cheque in appearance and usage with the difference that a cheque may or may not get cashed but a DD is guaranteed payment. While issuing a cheque you need not have cash in your account but still issue it. But in case of a DD you must have cash and that amount would be debited the moment you issue a DD and the payment would happen when the customer deposits the DD.
