    Solution

    Section 59-61 of the Indian Contract Act deal with appropriation of payments. If neither party makes an appropriation: • If debts are of equal standing, payments are applied proportionately. Otherwise, payments are applied in order of time, regardless of limitation period. All these rules apply simultaneously.
