The definition is not a legal one, it depends on the person or the business with whom you have the payment agreement.

If it says due on 1/1, it should be in the hands of the other party by then.

Re: payment made definition

Most loan agreements provide that the payment is due in hand on the 1st day fo the month but have a statement that it will not be deemed late as long as received within 10-15 days depending on whether it is a Mortgage or a different kind of loan.

A payment is considered made on most loans when received not mailed.
