Q121: Identify the INCORRECT statement regarding "Assignment" as a mode of creating a charge:

A
It is used for actionable claims like Book Debts, Insurance Policies, and Government Supply Bills.
B
The transfer of right, title, and interest is absolute in nature (in most banking cases).
C
Notice of assignment must be given to the debtor (e.g., Insurance Company) to make it binding.
D
Like Pledge, Assignment requires the physical delivery of goods to the banker.
✅ Correct Answer: D
Option D is Incorrect: Assignment deals with Intangible Assets (Actionable Claims) like rights to receive money (Life Insurance maturity, payments from government). Since these are not physical goods, "physical delivery of goods" is impossible.
Notice: Giving notice to the debtor (e.g., the Insurance Company or the Government Department) is crucial under Section 130 of the Transfer of Property Act to prevent them from paying the original creditor.
Pledge, in contrast, requires the physical or constructive delivery of goods.
