 FACTOR AFFECTING VODAFONE COMPANY

Vodafone PEST Analysis. PEST analysis is a strategic tool used to analyse external factors
affecting the business and stands for political, economical social and technological factors
(Lancaster et al, 2002).
The main political factors affecting Vodafone include EU Roaming Regulation that aims to
decrease charges for mobile phone usages abroad by 70% (Preissl et al, 2009) and increasing
level of consumer rights within Europe, and decisions made by European Union Regulatory
Framework for the communications sector. Moreover, any government intervention through
legislation or otherwise in the markets Vodafone operates can be considered as political factors.

Economical factors also affect Vodafone main of which are the growth of GDP and the level of
inflation rate within markets where the company operates. Furthermore, global economic issues
like the global financial crisis of 2007-2010 are also economic factors affecting Vodafone.
Generally any external economic changes affecting Vodafone can be classified as external
economic factors.

There is a range of social factors as well that affect Vodafone. For instance, changing work
patterns that are becoming very popular make people work from home increasingly relying in
communication technologies. Also, there are issues like people going ‘green’ and ageing
population in developed countries that are going to affect Vodafone directly or indirectly.

The impact of technological factors on Vodafone is without any doubt due to the nature of the
telecommunications industry. Specifically, a technological innovation in communications and
emergence of alternative means of communication such as online chatting, and Yahoo!
Messenger are going to affect Vodafone strategy in a way that the company is left with a choice
of either to form strategic alliances with above companies or to commit to considerable amount
of research and development in order to introduce innovative products and services to the
market.
 NEGOTIABLE INSTRUENT ACT 1881
According to section 13 of the negotiable instrument Act, “A negotiable instrument means a
promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque payable either to order or to bearer.’

DEFINITIONS:

Section 13 of the act deals with the negotiable instrument , “it says that a
negotiable instrument means a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque payable either to
order or to bearer.” A negotiable instrument may be made payable to two or more payees jointly,
or it may be made payable in the alternative to one of two, or one or some several payees.

DISHONOUR OF CERTAIN CHEQUES

Provided that nothing contained in this section shall apply unless-

 The cheque has been presented to the bank within a period of three months from the data
on which it is drawn or within the period of its validity, whichever is earlier;
 The payee or the holder in due course of the cheque, as the case may be makes a demand
for the payment of the said amount of money by giving a notice in writing, to the drawer
of the cheque within thirty days of the receipt of information by him from the bank
regarding the return of the cheque as unpaid; and
 The drawer of such cheque fails to make the payment of the said amount of money to the
payee or as the case may be, to the holder in due course of the cheque within 15 days of
the receipt of the said notice.

DISCHARGE OF NEGOTIABLE INTRUMENTS

When the liability of the party, primarily and ultimately liable on the instrument, comes to an
end, the instrument is said to be discharged. The discharge of the instrument results in
extinguishment of all rights of action under it and the instrument ceases to be negotiable. After
discharge of a negotiable instrument, even a holder-in-due-course acquires no right under it and
he cannot bring a suit on the face of it.

WAYS IN WHICH NEGOTIABLE INTRUMENT ARE

DISCHARGE
A negotiable instrument may be discharged in any one of the following ways.

 By payment in due course

 By the principal debtor becoming the holder
 By renunciation of the rights by the holder
 By cancellation of the instrument
 By an act that would discharge an ordinary contract

1. By payment in due course

Payment-in-due-course, is the payment made in good faith and in accordance with the apparent
tenor of the instrument to the rightful holder thereof. Accordingly, it is the payment made in
money only on maturity of the instrument and of the entire amount due on it and the person to
whom it is made should be in possession of the instrument. It may be noted that a payment of a
post-dated cheque before maturity is not according to the apparent tenor of the instrument and
hence, does not discharge the instrument unless the instrument is cancelled or the fact of
payment is duly recorded on the instrument to prevent its further negotiation.
The person making the payment is entitled to have the instrument delivered back to him upon
payment or if the instrument is lost or cannot be produced, to be indemnified against any further
claim thereon against him. Moreover, in order to discharge a negotiable instrument by payment-
in-due-course, the payment should be made by the party who is primarily liable on the
instrument. So if a party, who is not primarily liable, makes payment, the instrument is not
discharged. The payment-in-due-course discharges not only the negotiable instrument in
question but also the parties who are primarily and ultimately liable on the instrument as well.

2. By the principal debtor becoming the holder

When the acceptor of a bill of exchange becomes its holder on or after maturity thereof, all rights
of actions thereon are extinguished. As a result, the instrument is discharged. An acceptor may
become the holder of a bill by the process of negotiation back. But in order to discharge the bill it
is essential that this happens after maturity because if he becomes holder of the bill before
maturity, he may again endorse the same. Thus, a negotiable instrument is discharged if the
acceptor has become the holder of the instrument at or after maturity in his own rights, i.e., not in
any other capacity such as agent, executor, trustee, etc. For instance, A accepts a bill drawn on
him by B. B later on transfers the instrument to C, and C endorses it to D, who endorses it to A.
The instrument-in-question stands discharged by acceptor (A) becoming holder of it. This rule is
based on the principle that a present right and liability united in the same person cancel each
other.
3. By renunciation of the rights by the holder
If the holder of a negotiable instrument expressly gives up or renounces his rights against all the
parties, the instrument is discharged. The renunciation can be made by surrendering or delivering
the instrument to the party who is primarily liable thereon or declaring in writing the fact of
renunciation. Such renunciation discharges the instrument as well as all the parties thereto.

4. By cancellation of the instrument

If the holder intentionally cancels the name of the drawer or acceptor of a promissory note or bill
of exchange, the instrument is automatically discharged. It is important to note that the
cancellation should be made with an intention to release the party primarily liable on it, which in
turn would discharge the other parties thereto. Cancellation of the instrument can be executed
either by physical destruction or by crossing out signatures of drawer, acceptor, etc., on the
instrument.

5. By an act that would discharge an ordinary contract

A negotiable instrument may also be discharged by an act that would discharge a simple contract
for payment of money. This is technically called discharge of negotiable instrument by operation
of law. Such a discharge may occur due to expiry of period prescribed for recovery of sum of
money due on the instrument, or by substitution of another negotiable instrument for the original
instrument or by an agreement between the parties in the form of novation. It may also take place
by way of merger of one or more debt into another or by the debtor being adjudicated insolvent.
