Section 44 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, provides that an acceptance is valid only if it is written on the bill itself and signed by the drawee or his agent. The section states that 'an acceptance is invalid unless it is written on the bill and signed by the drawee or his agent'. The section further explains that the acceptance must be absolute and unqualified. The Delhi High Court has held in 'Punjab National Bank vs. R.C. Gupta' (2001) that an oral acceptance is not valid under the Act.
