Explain the following two methods of purchase of goods:- (a) Instalment Method (b) Hire Purchase Method |
|
Answer» a. The hire purchase system is essentially a contract for hiring of goods. The ownership rights remain with the seller and the customer exercises his option for purchasing the goods. The buyer can return the goods at any stage. The seller can also take back the goods in case of non-payment. b. When goods are sold and payment is agreed to be made in instalments, it is known as instalment payment system. In this case if there is default in payment of any instalment by the buyer, the seller cannot ask for the goods to be returned as the ownership rights pass to be buyer when goods are sold and initial payment is made. The seller can only sue the buyer in a law court for payment of the balance due. |
