The First Schedule excludes negotiable instruments other than cheques, powers of attorney, trusts, wills and other testamentary dispositions, and contracts for sale or conveyance of immovable property or interests in it. The Second Schedule concerns electronic signature or electronic authentication techniques and procedures, without specifying an individual technique or procedure.
