What is restrictive & non-restrictive idorsement

A restrictive indorsement is an indorsement that contains some sort of instruction from the indorser.


A nonrestrictive indorsement is an indorsement that has no instructions or conditions attached to the payment of funds.

What is blank & special indorsement

A blank indorsement is an indorsement that does not specify a particular indorsee. It creates bearer paper.


A special indorsement is an indorsement that contains the signature of the indorser and specifies the person (indorsee) to whom the indorser intends the instrument to be payable. It creates order paper.

How order and bearer paper can be converted ?

Instruments can be converted from order paper to bearer paper, and vice versa, many times until the instrument is paid. The deciding factor is the type of indorsement placed on the instrument at the time of each subsequent transfer. An indorsement is the signature (and other directions) written by or on behalf of the holder somewhere on the instrument.
