The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881
Chapter- IV Of Negotiation
Section 56: Indorsement for part of sum due.
56. No writing on a negotiable instrument is valid for the purpose of negotiation if such writing purports to transfer only a part of the amount appearing to be due on the instrument; but where such amount has been partly paid, a note to that effect may be indorsed on the instrument, which may then be negotiated for the balance.
