How does a demand draft work?

A Demand Draft is an instrument that is used for exchange of money between two people. It is similar to checks with a small difference.

You need pay the amount for which you wish to take a draft, to the bank that is issuing the same. The bank may charge you a fee for creating the draft for you. Once done, the draft is as good as liquid cash. The draft is usually created with a customer as Payee. All that person has to do is, visit the bank that issued the draft and provide a valid ID and encash it and he would be paid the money the draft is worth.
