    "Presumption as to Date" under Section 118(b) assumes that every negotiable instrument was drawn on: 
    A The date it was actually signed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Section 118(b) of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 establishes a rebuttable presumption that if a negotiable instrument is dated, it is presumed to have been drawn on the date appearing on the face of the instrument. This simplifies commercial transactions by providing a clear, prima facie date for all parties to rely upon unless proven otherwise.
