A cheque is drawn by an account holder of a bank, whereas a draft is drawn by one branch of a bank on another branch of the same bank. 3. In a cheque, the drawer and the drawee are different persons.

A Demand Draft is an instrument that is used for exchange of money between two people. It is similar to checks with a small difference. You need pay the amount for which you wish to take a draft, to the bank that is issuing the same. The bank may charge you a fee for creating the draft for you. Once done, the draft is as good as liquid cash. The draft is usually created with a customer as Payee. All that person has to do is, visit the bank that issued the draft and provide a valid ID and encash it and he would be paid the money the draft is worth.

The draft is as good as cash. Most people prefer accepting drafts instead of checks because, there is a guarantee that the payment will be made.
