E. Types of banks

Type 1. Saving Banks

Saving banks are established to create saving habit among the people. These banks are
helpful for salaried people and low income groups. The deposits collected from
customers are invested in bonds, securities, etc. At present most of the commercial banks
carry the functions of savings banks. Postal department also performs the functions of
saving bank.

Type 2. Commercial Banks

Commercial banks are established with an objective to help businessmen. These banks
collect money from general public and give short-term loans to businessmen by way of
cash credits, overdrafts, etc. Commercial banks provide various services like collecting
cheques, bill of exchange, and remittance money from one place to another place.
In India, commercial banks are established under Companies Act, 1956. In 1969, 14
commercial banks were nationalized by Government of India. The policies regarding
deposits, loans, rate of interest, etc. of these banks are controlled by the Central Bank.

Type 3. Industrial Banks / Development Banks

Industrial / Development banks collect cash by issuing shares & debentures and
providing long-term loans to industries. The main objective of these banks is to provide
long-term loans for expansion and modernization of industries.
In India such banks are established on a large scale after independence. They are
Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), Industrial Credit and Investment
Corporation of India (ICICI) and Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI).
 10

Land Mortgage or Land Development banks are also known as Agricultural Banks
because these are formed to finance agricultural sector. They also help in land
development.
In India, Government has come forward to assist these banks. The Government has
guaranteed the debentures issued by such banks. There is a great risk involved in the
financing of agriculture and generally commercial banks do not take much interest in
financing agricultural sector.

Indigenous banks mean Money Lenders and Sahukars. They collect deposits from general
public and grant loans to the needy persons out of their own funds as well as from
deposits. These indigenous banks are popular in villages and small towns. They perform
combined functions of trading and banking activities. Certain well-known Indian
communities like Marwari’s and Multan even today run specialized indigenous banks.

Every country of the world has a central bank. In India, Reserve Bank of India, in U.S.A,
Federal Reserve and in U.K, Bank of England. These central banks are the bankers of the
other banks. They provide specialized functions i.e. issue of paper currency, working as
bankers of government, supervising and controlling foreign exchange. A central bank is a
non-profit making institution. It does not deal with the public but it deals with other
banks. The principal responsibility of Central Bank is thorough control on currency of a
country.
 11

Type 7. Co-operative Banks

In India, Co-operative banks are registered under the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912.
They generally give credit facilities to small farmers, salaried employees, small-scale
industries, etc. Co-operative Banks are available in rural as well as in urban areas. The
functions of these banks are just similar to commercial banks.

working in India. These banks are mainly concerned with financing foreign trade.

Cooperative banking in India

A. Introduction

of financial services to personal and business customers across the UK. The Banking
Group’s parent company, The Co-operative Group, is the world’s largest consumer
co-operative. The Co-operative Bank operates under its own brand as well as those of
smile, Platform and Britannia. We offer our services through 342 branches and

Co-operative banks differ from stockholder banks by their organization, their goals,
their values and their governance. In most countries, they are supervised and
controlled by banking authorities and have to respect prudential banking regulations,
which put them at a level playing field with stockholder banks. Depending on
countries, this control and supervision can be implemented directly by state entities or
delegated to a co-operative federation or central body

state co-operative banks and joint stocks. These banks finance member societies
within the limits of the borrowing capacity of societies. They also conduct all the
business of a joint stock bank.

State Co-operative Banks: -

societies and not directly to farmers.

Chapter 2
THE KAITHAL CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE BANK

A. Introduction

According to the International Co-operative Alliance Statement of co-operative identity, a

co-operative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their
common economic, social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned
and democratically-controlled enterprise. Co-operatives are based on the values of self-
help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity. In the tradition of
their founders, co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness,
social responsibility and caring for others.

The 7 co-operative principles are:-

1. Voluntary and open membership

2. Democratic member control

3. Member economic participation

4. Autonomy and independence

5. Education, training and information

6. Co-operation among Co-operatives

7. Concern for Community

 16

A co-operative bank is a financial entity which belongs to its members, who are at the
same time the owners and the customers of their bank. Co-operative banks are often
created by persons belonging to the same local or professional community or sharing a
common interest. Co-operative banks generally provide their members with a wide range
of banking and financial services (loans, deposits, banking accounts...).

Co-operative banks differ from stockholder banks by their organization, their goals, their
values and their governance. In most countries, they are supervised and controlled by
banking authorities and have to respect prudential banking regulations, which put them at
a level playing field with stockholder banks. Depending on countries, this control and
supervision can be implemented directly by state entities or delegated to a co-operative
federation or central body.

Even if their organizational rules can vary according to their respective national
legislations, co-operative banks share common features:

 Customer's owned entities: in a co-operative bank, the needs of the customers

meet the needs of the owners, as co-operative bank members are both. As a consequence,
the first aim of a co-operative bank is not to maximize profit but to provide the best
possible products and services to its members. Some co-operative banks only operate
with their members but most of them also admit non-member clients to benefit from their
banking and financial services.

 Democratic member control: co-operative banks are owned and controlled by

their members, who democratically elect the board of directors. Members usually have
equal voting rights, according to the co-operative principle of”one person, one vote".

Profile allocation: in a co-operative bank, a significant part of the yearly profit, benefits
or surplus is usually allocated to constitute reserves. A part of this profit can also be
distributed to the co-operative

B. Difference between Fixed Deposit (FD) and Recurring Deposit (RD)

When it comes to saving money in deposit-schemes, often people get confused as to what
saving-instrument to choose? Should they go for Fixed Deposits (FD) or should they park
their money in Recurring Deposits (RD)? This tutorial attempts to answer those questions
and doubts, which people may be having in their mind with respect to these deposit-
schemes.

FD (Fixed Deposit) is suitable for someone, who has some lump-some amount and want
to invest it for a specific time interval. Interest rate depends upon the maturity period,
longer the period greater the interest rate. You can opt either for periodical returns, say
monthly/quarterly/half yearly or annually, or simply opt to get the amount with
accumulated interest at the end of the prescribed term. Premature and partial withdrawal
facilities are available, but not without some penalty, that you have to pay at the time of
withdrawal. This penalty amount varies across banks, so you may want to check this out
with individual banks, before opting for opening an FD (Fixed Deposit). There will be
a TDS (Tax Deductible at Source) applicable to your maturity amount, if the interest paid
on your deposit exceeds Rs.10000/- per year. This is fixed by government to be 10% of
interest amount plus 3% Education Case.

But if you don’t have a lump-sum amount, that you could possibly invest in one-shot, FD
(Fixed Deposit) is a no-no. But if you have a regular income every month (say a salaried
individual) and want to save a certain fixed amount for a specific time interval, then RD
 28

(Recurring Deposit) is a better option for you. But you need to be sure of the fact that you
will be able to pay that fixed amount every month. One of the major drawbacks with
Recurring Deposits is non-flexibility of the amount-of-deposit. Partial payment is not
allowed nor can you pay more than the decided amount. Here again, interest rate depends
upon the maturity period, longer the period greater the interest rate. FD (Fixed Deposit)
generally gives more returns, when compared to RD (Recurring Deposit). Premature
withdrawal is applicable but some penalty you have to pay. Partial withdrawal is not
applicable. As per Income Tax Rules, there is no TDS (Tax Deductible at Source)
applicable on RD (Recurring Deposits).

Both of them have their pros and cons and it solely depends on your requirements and
your financial planning, to identify which one is better for you? After all it’s your money,
is not it

"Cheque is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional order, addressed to a

banker, sign by the person who has deposited money with the banker, requiring him to
pay on demand a certain sum of money only to or to the order of certain person or to the
bearer of instrument."

cheque is called a bearer cheque. The bearer cheque is payable to the person specified

collect payment from the bank

place the word "or order" is written on the face of the cheque, the cheque is called an
order cheque. Such a cheque is payable to the person specified therein as the payee, or to
any one else to whom it is endorsed (transferred).

3. Uncrossed / Open Cheque

 33

When a cheque is not crossed, it is known as an "Open Cheque" or an "Uncrossed

Cheque". The payment of such a cheque can be obtained at the counter of the bank. An
open cheque may be a bearer cheque or an order one.

4. Crossed Cheque

Crossing of cheque means drawing two parallel lines on the face of the cheque with or
without additional words like "& CO." or "Account Payee" or "Not Negotiable". A
crossed cheque cannot be encashed at the cash counter of a bank but it can only be
credited to the payee's account.

called as "anti-dated cheque". Such a cheque is valid upto six months from the date of the
cheque.

6. Post-Dated Cheque

If a cheque bears a date which is yet to come (future date) then it is known as post-dated
cheque. A post dated cheque cannot be honored earlier than the date on the cheque.

7. Stale Cheque

If a cheque is presented for payment after six months from the date of the cheque it is
called stale cheque. A stale cheque is not honored by the bank.

 36

E.Crossing of Cheque

A cheque is a negotiable instrument. During the process of circulation, a cheque may be

lost, stolen or the signature of payee may be done by some other person for endorsing it.
Under these circumstances the cheque may go into wrong hands.

Crossing is a popular device for protecting the drawer and payee of a cheque. Both bearer
and order cheques can be crossed. Crossing prevents fraud and wrong payments.
Crossing of a cheque means "Drawing Two Parallel Lines" across the face of the cheque.
Thus, crossing is necessary in order to have safety. Crossed cheques must be presented
through the bank only because they are not paid at the counter.

a. Different Types of Crossing

1. General Crossing:-

Generally, cheques are crossed when

1. There are two transverse parallel lines, marked across its face or
2. The cheque bears an abbreviation "& Co. "between the two parallel lines or
3. The cheque bears the words "Not Negotiable" between the two parallel lines or
4. The cheque bears the words "A/c. Payee" between the two parallel lines.
 37

A crossed cheque can be made bearer cheque by cancelling the crossing and writing that
the crossing is cancelled and affixing the full signature of drawer.

Specimen of General Crossing ↓

2. Special or Restrictive Crossing:-

When a particular bank's name is written in between the two parallel lines the cheque is
said to be specially crossed.

Specimen of Special or Restrictive Crossing ↓

In addition to the word bank, the words "A/c. Payee Only", "Not Negotiable" may also be
written. The payment of such cheque is not made unless the bank named in crossing is
 38

presenting the cheque. The effect of special crossing is that the bank makes payment only
to the banker whose name is written in the crossing. Specially crossed cheques are more
safe than a generally crossed cheques.

Cheque is an instrument in writing

CONCLUSION

Finance is the life blood of trade, commerce and industry. Now-a-days, banking sector
acts as the backbone of modern business. Development of any country mainly depends
upon the banking system.

A bank accepts money from the people in the form of deposits which are usually
repayable on demand or after the expiry of a fixed period. It gives safety to the deposits
of its customers.

A co-operative bank is a financial entity which belongs to its members, who are at the
same time the owners and the customers of their bank. Co-operative banks are often
created by persons belonging to the same local or professional community or sharing a
common interest. Co-operative banks generally provide their members with a wide range
of banking and financial services (loans, deposits, banking accounts...).

Co-operative banks differ from stockholder banks by their organization, their goals, their
values and their governance. In most countries, they are supervised and controlled by
banking authorities and have to respect prudential banking regulations, which put them at
a level playing field with stockholder banks. Depending on countries, this control and
supervision can be implemented directly by state entities or delegated to a co-operative
federation or central body.
 47

Even if their organizational rules can vary according to their respective national
legislations, co-operative banks share common features:

 Customer's owned entities: in a co-operative bank, the needs of the customers

meet the needs of the owners, as co-operative bank members are both. As a consequence,
the first aim of a co-operative bank is not to maximize profit but to provide the best
possible products and services to its members. Some co-operative banks only operate
with their members but most of them also admit non-member clients to benefit from their
banking and financial services.

 Democratic member control: co-operative banks are owned and controlled by

their members, who democratically elect the board of directors. Members usually have
equal voting rights, according to the co-operative principle of”one person, one vote".

Profile allocation: in a co-operative bank, a significant part of the yearly profit, benefits
or surplus is usually allocated to constitute reserves. A part of this profit can also be
distributed to the co-operative
