The due date of the bill will be $29^{th}$ March, 2024.
Steps to Solve

Identify the starting date The bill is drawn on February 29, 2024. This is a leap year, so February has 29 days.
-
Determine one month later To find the due date that is one month after February 29, we start at March 29.
-
Consider month length March has 31 days, so we check if moving from February 29 to March 29 is valid. Since March 29 exists, that is the due date.
-
Conclusion Therefore, the due date of the bill will be March 29, 2024.
The due date of the bill will be $29^{th}$ March, 2024.

- Forgetting about leap years might lead to incorrect initial date assumptions.
