Section 56 of Negotiable Instruments Act - Indorsement for part of sum due

Section 56 Negotiable Instruments Act Description

No writing on a negotiable instrument is valid for the purpose of negotiation if such writing purports to transfer only a part of the amount appearing to be due on the instrument; but where such amount has been partly paid, a note to that effect may be indorsed on the instrument, which may then be negotiated for the balance.
