Sales, Marketing, Management, Production etc. must be taken care of. To ensure the smooth

functioning of the company, various levels of Hierarchy are set in place, which yields maximum

1 Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, s 141(1)
2 Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, s 138
3 Negotiable Instruments Act 1881, s 141(2)
