Promissory notes

(Querist) 19 October 2019
This query is : Resolved
I am lending money to a friend and planning to get a promissory note signed by him
Plz guide on preparation and precautions to be taken care for preparing PN
Should there be witness in promissory note (I read somewhere that adding witness should be avoided because if witness is added then promissory note becomes a bond)
Is a receipt for payment is mandotary ?
What should be the cost of stamp on which the PN is made?
If I am taking advance cheques then should I mention it in the PN(I read that if the cheque numbers are mentioned then it becomes security cheques and hence u cannot file legal suit
Also heard that taking advance PDC / blank cheque is illegal)
Is it safe to give 3-4 lakhs over PN
Request to plz clarify and also give a safe format of promissory note that should ensure safety of my money

Mr./Ms. Y,
Do you have licence under the provisions of "Money Lending Act," to advance loan to ABCD XXX, if it is not a question paper and academic exercise?
