10.2 Demand Draft Issuance to New Payee

This topic describes the systematic instruction to Demand Draft Issuance to New Payee screen. Using this feature user can initiate requests for demand drafts to be payable towards payees that are not registered as payees in the system.

Once the request for the demand draft is initiated, the user can register the payee as a payee by selecting the Add Draft Payee option provided on the confirm screen.
