धारा 24

Section 24 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 states that 'the acceptance of a draft by the drawee's agent, whether the agent is a banker or not, is not valid, unless the agent has been authorized by the drawee to accept the draft. The agent may be authorized to accept the draft either expressly or impliedly. The authorization may be given either in writing or orally. If the agent has been authorized to accept the draft, the acceptance is valid, and the drawee is bound by it. If the agent has not been authorized to accept the draft, the acceptance is not valid, and the drawee is not bound by it.
