Evolution of Banking

The Reserve Bank of India was established on April 1, 1935 in accordance with the provisions of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. The Indian Banking Regulation Act 1949 was formulated to govern
the financial sector.
In 1921 the presidency Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras with their 70 branches were merged in
1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India. During the First 5 year plan in 1951, an act was passed in
Parliament in May 1955 nationalizing the Imperial Bank and the State Bank of India was constituted
on 1 July 1955
During the period 1906-1911, several Commercial banks such as BOI, Central Bank of India, BoB,
Bank of Mysore etc were established which were all Joint Stock Banks

Definition of a Bank

Indian Banking Regulation Act (1949) defines Banking as the Acceptance of money for the purpose of
lending or investment, from deposits received from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise
withdrawable by cheques, drafts or order to otherwise (Standing Instructions, ECS).

Nationalization of Banks
First only State Bank of India (SBI) was nationalized in July 1955 under the SBI Act of 1955.
Nationalization of Seven State Banks of India (formed subsidiary) took place on 19th July, 1960.

In 1969, Mrs. Indira Gandhi the then prime minister nationalized 14 banks then. These banks were
mostly owned by businessmen and even managed by them.
  Central Bank of India
 Bank of Maharashtra
 Dena Bank
 Punjab National Bank
 Syndicate Bank
 Canara Bank
 Indian Bank
 Indian Overseas Bank
 Bank of Baroda
 Union Bank
 Allahabad Bank
 United Bank of India
 UCO Bank
 Bank of India

1980 : Nationalisation of seven more banks with deposits over 200 crores.

Problems: Nationalized banks had job guarantee so employee efficiency very low, indiscipline and
high absenteeism, trade union problems etc. Compare with present banks

3. SCHEDULED AND NON SCHEDULED BANKS

In the RBI ACT OF 1934, all banks listed in the second schedule is known as Scheduled banks
All Scheduled bank operations are under strict surveillance of RBI. All nationalised banks, most
private sector banks, foreign banks are scheduled. Most cooperative banks are non- scheduled (not
subjected to strict financial discipline).
Advantages of scheduled banks:

3.RBI acts as lender of last resort
4. All government accounts and transaction through them

Basic Functions
1. Acceptance of Deposits:
Classification of Deposits:
Demand Deposits/Current Deposits-Repayable on demand-Savings accounts for individuals, Current
Accounts for businesses (CASA)
Fixed Deposits/Time Deposits
The deposit is placed for a fix time period and fixed interest rate/ instructions needed for premature
withdrawal. In exchange for the lack of liquidity, banks offer a higher yield on time deposits than
they offer on regular savings accounts.

2. Loans & Advances: Accepts funds so that they can lend out credit to customers for consumption
towards cars, houses, consumer goods, construction etc

3. Use of Cheques: Since the deposits with banks are withdrawable by cheques it elevates bank
deposits to the position of money

Major Income Streams for Retail Banks

BANKING SPREAD: The bank spread is the difference between the bank's cost of funds, in terms of
interest paid to depositors, and the rate of interest the bank charges to debtors on bank loans.
Interest income on term loans,home loans, personal loans , credit cards, overdrafts, cash credit.
(NIM)
FEE BASED INCOMES: Third party incomes as Distributors of mutual funds, life insurance, general
Insurance i.e. mediclaims & Property insurance, RBI Bonds, equity trading brokerage , portfolio

Bills of exchange/cheques/drafts/ certificate of deposits-unsecured borrowing by scheduled banks
for a period ranging 3 months to 1 yr by issuing promissory notes/ Accommodation bill- it is a bill of
exchange where a reputed third party is providing a guarantee towards repayment as a favor
without any compensation for the same. This third party remains liable till the bill amount is repaid
to the bank

KYC-Know your Customer or Client/ AML- Placement, Layering and Integration (Please refer to
notes given in class)

Credit Creation of Banks: Loans Created Deposit

Primary deposits: hard cash, cheque, drafts etc, total supply of money does not increase from that
when people come and open the account with these.
When banks loan out these primary deposits Derivative deposits are created which add to the
money supply. Banks advance loans to Brokers, financial institutions, individuals etc and Discount Bill
of exchange, promissory notes etc thereby increasing credit money supply.
The loan amounts are credited to the respective borrower’s accounts and they are authorised to
draw cheques up to the sanctioned amounts. Therefore debt gets converted to money. Therefore
the deposits of the respective borrowers bank increases. Incase the borrower is an account holder in
the same bank that has advanced the loan; the deposits of the same bank will increase.
Where the bank had lent out via the cheque route, the borrower will credit the cheque into his
respective bank account, whether in a different bank or the same one. This will increase that banks
deposit base by the equivalent amount. Thus money available for credit increases.
Whenever any bank purchases an income earning asset, it credits that amount to the account of the
seller, thereby indirectly creating a new deposit, which the respective borrower/seller can withdraw
using cheques. Thus banks convert debt into money

Balance Sheet approach:

Let us assume a Deposit of INR 2000, of which the bank has to keep 20% as cash reserves and may
lend the rest

Step 1: Bank A
Liability Asset
New Dep: Rs 2000 New cash: 2000
Total: Liab: 2000 Asset: 2000

Step 2: bank A
Liability Asset
Deposit: 2000 Cash: 400
Loan to X: 1600
Total: Liab: 2000 Asset: 2000

Step 3 : Bank B (X is an Account holder)

Liability Asset
New Dep: 1600 Cash in hand: 1600
Total: Liab: 1600 Asset: 1600

Step 4: bank B
Liability Asset
Deposit:
1600 Cash in hand:320
Loan to Y: 1280
Total Liability: 1600 Total Asset: 1600
Step 5: Bank C (Y is an Account holder)
Liability Asset

New Dep: 1280 Cash in hand: 1280

Total: Liab: 1280 Asset: 1280

Credit creation multiplier (K)

K (Deposit multiplier)=1/ r , where r=percentage of deposit to be kept as liquid money under the
Cash Reserve Ratio requirement , which is currently at 5%

Therefore K=1/5% which is 20 times. Thus Credit creation can take place up to 20 times the initial
deposit amount.

transfer mechanism where transfer of money takes place from one bank to another on a 'real
time' and on 'gross' basis. This is the fastest possible money transfer system through the banking
channel. Settlement in 'real time' means payment transaction is not subjected to any waiting
period. The transactions are settled as soon as they are processed. 'Gross settlement' means the
transaction is settled on one to one basis without bunching with any other transaction. NEFT
settlement takes place 6 times a day during the week days (9.00 am, 11.00 am, 12.00 noon.
13.00 hours, 15.00 hours and 17.00 hours) and 3 times during Saturdays (9.00 am, 11.00 am and
12.00 noon). Any transaction initiated after a designated settlement time would have to wait till
the next designated settlement time. Contrary to this, in RTGS, transactions are processed
continuously throughout the RTGS business hours. The minimum amount to be remitted through
RTGS is Rs.1 lakh. There is no upper ceiling for RTGS transactions. No minimum or maximum
stipulation has been fixed for EFT and NEFT transactions.

RATES GOVERNING BANKS

PLR-PRIME LENDING RATE: RBI: 11-12%/ 5 top Commercial Banks 11-15%- Prime Lending Rate (PLR)
is that rate of interest at which a bank lends to its best customers with highest credit worthiness

CASH RESERVE RATIO: 5.75%- liquid cash that banks have to maintain with the Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) as a percentage of their demand and time liabilities and borrowing from CBLO market

STATUTORY LIQUIDITY RATIO: 25% - SLR refers to the amount that all banks require to maintain in
form of approved government securities.

BANK RATE: 6%- Longer term borrowing rate from RBI, bill re discounting rate

REPO RATE: 4.75%- Short term Bank borrowing from RBI by pledging government bonds as security
when banks have to meet temporary shortfalls

REVERSE REPO RATE: 3.25%- Short term lending to RBI when banks have surplus liquidity

CAR- Capital Adequacy Ratio- As per Basel 2 norms the minimum is 8% while RBI has fixed 9% as CAR
-It is amount of a bank's capital expressed as a percentage of its risk weighted credit exposures i.e.
(Capital/Risk) determines the capacity of the bank in terms of honoring deposit withdrawals and
managing other risk such as credit default risk, operational risk.
In case of Scheduled Commercial Banks CAR= 9 per cent
For New Private Sector Banks CAR = 10 per cent
For Banks undertaking Insurance Business CAR = 10 per cent
For Local Area Banks CAR =15 per cent

LAF: Liquidity Adjustment facility- The RBI uses Repo and Reverse Repo to aid banks in adjusting
their liquidity requirements and help in meeting Monetary policy measures

15. TREASURY FUNCTIONS

1. Cash Management:
Maintaining the cash reserves, capital and liquidity of the bank. Ensuring that the bank maintains
the Cash reserve ratio and Statutory Liquidity Ratio requirements as laid down by the central bank.
Participating in Repo, Interbank call money markets & CBLO incase of shortfall and park excess
money in Reverse Repo market or lend in the Call money markets in case of surplus

Maintaining the Tier 1 & tier 2 capital of the bank:

Tier I Capital = Ordinary Share Capital + Retained Earnings
Tier II Capital = Undisclosed Reserves + General Bad Debt Provision+ Revaluation Reserve +
preferential share capital + Subordinate debt (Debt that is either unsecured or has a lower priority
than that of another debt claim
2. Monitoring & Control of Interest Rate risk and price risks on government securities
Trading in money market securities and government Bonds are done by them. The Government
Securities are maintained in 3 categories: HTM (Held to Maturity), AFS (Available for Sale) and AFT
(Available for Trade)
Banks have to maintain 25% of their Total Demand and Time liabilities in Government Securities as
per SLR requirement. Currently an average of 28% in government securities is being maintained by
banks.
The maximum HTM limit is 25% and this does not have to be marked to Market (MTM) as per
movement in yields/bond prices. However there is the additional 3% in AFS & AFT segment in banks
which attract the MTM requirement, Thus losses or profits on the government security holdings
have to be reflected as per regulations.
Bonds are held in AFT up to 45 days, post 45 days the bonds have to be shifted to the AFS category.
These 2 categories have to reflect the notional profits or losses arising from both Price risk and
interest rate risk. Presently since 2008 due to rising yield the banks are showing MTM losses on their
treasury earnings. (Discussed in details)

Bank Treasury also participates in the derivative markets such as Interest rate futures to reduce risk
from bond price fluctuations. The underlying instrument for this is a 10-year notional coupon-
bearing government security. This underlying security is assumed to pay interest (called a coupon) at
a rate compounded at 7% p.a. on a half-yearly basis. For example go short on the underlying bond in
the interest rate futures market if the Spot price of Government Securities is expected to fall, thus
offsetting the loss in the Spot segment by gaining in the futures segment (explain in details in class)

3. Maintaining the Foreign exchange reserves of the bank-

a. Proprietary trading in foreign exchange for profitability & risk management measures. Also take
part in currency futures market to hedge risk.
b. Meet foreign exchange needs of importers and exporters and giving them loans

d. Providing options for hedging of foreign currency fluctuation risks to corporate by providing OTC
derivative instruments such as forward covers e.
e. Participate in the currency futures market to hedge fluctuation based risks. For example short
dollar futures if Spot price of dollars is expected to fall, thus offsetting the loss in the cash segment
by gaining in the futures segment (explain in details in class)

4. Capital Issuance: Raising capital for the bank through the following methods
a. Public offer through IPO or FPO, Divestment, issuance of ADRs, GDRs and Rights issue (Rights are
issued whereby existing shareholders have the privilege to buy a specified number of new shares
from the firm at a specified price within a specified time)
b. Private placement of stocks or bonds (QIP-Qualified Institutional placements with DII, FII, PE funds

not traded in the stock exchanges and share holders receive fixed percentage of dividend per share
every year. The core right is that of preference in the payment of dividends. There is a negotiated
fixed coupon payment with cumulative option and non cumulative. In case of bankruptcy or
liquidation preferential share holders will get their part before common stock holders. Preferential
share holders are not entitled to voting rights.
d. Securitization: It is a process of aggregating a portion of existing debt of a bank where there is a
cash flow receivable over a period of time into a common pool, and thereby issuing new securities
backed by this pool to collect fresh funds from public or financial institutions etc. These securities
are often known as MBS- Mortgage Backed Securities, CDO- Collateralized Debt Obligation and ABS-
Asset Backed Securities

5. Invest in short term money market instruments to enhance profitability :

term bond funds/Liquid funds and Liquid plus funds where there is no risk of capital erosion
e. Lend surplus in Call money markets or park excess in Reverse repo market with RBI

Type of Accounts

Resident Accounts /NRE- Non Resident External/NRO- Non Resident Ordinary/FCNR/ RFC
FCNR: Foreign Currency Non Resident Accounts: In this type of accounts funds are held in foreign
currencies but only in the form of fixed deposits.

RFC-Resident Foreign currency accounts. These accounts are held by Indians who travel abroad very
frequently and do not wish to pay conversion charges on foreign currencies each time they travel.
Thus in these accounts funds are held in foreign currencies. However no interest is paid on this
account.

Funds held in NRE and NRO are in Indian Currency.

Difference between NRE and NRO:
1. Funds can be freely repatriated from NRE accounts back to the foreign country, while from NRO
accounts money can be transferred out only post CA certification that any taxes due to Indian
government has been paid on the amount, so not very easily. The limit of repatriation on NRO is up
to USD 200000 per year.
2. NRE SAVINGS account interest does not attract any tax, while NRO savings account interest
attracts tax
3. In NRE accounts, the interest rates on deposits are not taxed, but are very low (3-4%), while NRO
account deposit interest rates are taxed as per investors tax slab, since the higher Resident Indian
deposit rates are received (8.5%)
4. One cannot deposit domestic currency (rupees) in the NRE account, only foreign currency. Which
then gets converted into Indian rupees and then credited to the account. While in NRO accounts
Indian currency can be deposited
5. One can transfer funds from NRE to NRO but not vice versa

6. COOPERATIVE BANKING
Definition by Paul Lambert: It is an enterprise formed and directed by an association of users,
applying within itself the rules of democracy and directly intended to serve both its own members
and the community as a whole. It is a voluntary concern with equitable participation and control
among all concerned.
1. It is organized by those who themselves need credit
2. Runs as a democracy: Run by Board of Director elected on the basis of one vote per member

1. Rural Co-operative banks: predominantly agriculture credit banks-short, medium and long term
to agriculture, handicraft, cottage industries. Issues: Recovery, problem of valuing land, livestock,
perishable agricultural commodities, improper title of property as security, limited resources,
chances of financial mis-management by the management itself (corruption).

2. Urban Co-operative banks: Formed for meeting the credit requirement of the urban lower middle
class which larger banks do not wish to lend due to high cost of advancing and recovery. Nor do
these people have large incomes or large assets to offer as security. Membership open to traders,
merchant, professionals etc who have to contribute to share capital. They have their own funds
(paid up share capital) and borrowed funds (deposits and borrowing from other banks)

6. INVESTMENT BANKING
1. Investment banking is a field of banking that aids companies in acquiring funds, through the
public or through Venture capitalists, Private equity funds and Mezzanine funds.
Thus through investment banking, an institution generates funds in two different ways.
a. They may draw on public funds through the capital market by selling stock in their
company
b. They may also seek out venture capital or private equity in exchange for a stake in their
company.

Venture capital and Private equity Funds typically invest in early-stage, high-potential, growth
companies in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realization event such as an
IPO or sale of stake in the company in the secondary markets. These investments are generally made
as cash in exchange for shares in the invested company. Venture capital typically comes from
institutional investors and high net worth individuals and is pooled together by dedicated investment
firms. Venture Capitalists look more towards new early ventures which are starved of funds with
exponential growth potential while PE firms look more towards high growth existing companies in
need of funds.
Mezzanine funds are like a hybrid PE fund acquiring part equity and part debt to finance the
expansion of existing companies. The debt holding provides for regular interest payment, while
superior upside comes from the equity holding.  The debt capital also gives the Fund the rights to
convert to an ownership or equity interest in the company if the loan is not paid back in time and in
full.

In India, the venture capital funds (VCFs) can be categorised into the following groups:-

Those promoted by the Central Government controlled development finance

institutions such as IFCI Venture Capital Funds Limited (IVCF), SIDBI Venture Capital
Limited (SVCL) Those promoted by State Government controlled development
finance institutions: Gujarat Venture Finance Limited (GVFL),Kerala Venture Capital
Fund Pvt Ltd, Punjab Infotech Venture Fund, Hyderabad Information Technology
Venture Enterprises Limited (HITVEL).Those promoted by public banks: Canbank
Venture Capital Fund, SBI Capital Markets Limited . Those promoted by private
sector companies, for example:IL&FS Trust Company Limited, Infinity Venture India
Fund

2. An investment banking firm also does a large amount of Fee based consulting on Mergers,
Acquisitions and Take Overs.

Mergers : They combine two or more previously separate firms into a single legal entity. The
combined business, through structural and operational advantages secured by the merger,
can cut costs and increase profits, boosting shareholder values for both groups of
shareholders. The sum of its parts is worth more than the individual parts. In a merger of two
corporations
Acquisitions: It is characterized by the purchase of a smaller company by a much larger one
Takeover: Hostile or otherwise involves buying the management rights through outright
purchase of shares

3. Track the market in order to give advice on when to make public offerings and how best to
manage the business assets, when to sell them and the pricing for the same. Also advice on
debt restricting and company restructuring.

4. Fee based consultative activities such as buy-and-sell advice on equities, commodities, debt,
derivatives, advisory on foreign exchange trading and calls based on foreign currency
fluctuations and predictions.

5. Merchant banking services to companies for equity sale such as price band calculation, Lot
size, timing for sale.

6. Advisory on divestment/disinvestment. On the stake sale, the proportion of dilution, timing,

pricing etc.

7. Underwriting services for IPO/FPO/Bond issues: This is a way of placing a newly issued
security, such as stocks or bonds, with investors. Investment Banks take on the risk of
 distributing the securities to investors. Should they not be able to find enough investors,
then they have to purchase the securities themselves. Underwriters make their income from
the price difference, or underwriting spread, between the price they pay the issuer and what
they collect from investors or from broker-dealers who buy portions of the offering –
sometimes they earn fixed underwriting fees, commission on sales , but mostly underwriting
spread

8. Bridge Financing: Providing short term financing to companies before their IPO for the
maintenance of operations. These funds are usually supplied by the investment bank while
they are underwriting the new issue. As payment, the company acquiring the bridge
financing will give a number of shares at a discount to the issue price to the investment bank
that equally offsets the loan. These are also Short term temporary loans given to companies
before they secure long term permanent ones.

9. Investment advisory in highly specialised or niche investment options where the risk and
return probability is very high. The investment bank manufactures structured products
which are derivatives based and customised to suit specific customer requirements and
designed to optimise on current and future market trends.

7. CORPORATE BANKING

Micro Small & Medium Enterprises< 50 crore turnover

Mid Market Enterprises: 50-250 crore turnover
Large Local Corporates> 250
CIB (Corporate institutional banking) GCB (Global Corporate Banking – These are for Indian
companies who have business both local and Global eg. Bajaj, Thermax or for foreign companies
who have business in India e.g. Mercedes. Loans can be in foreign currency and are of very large
denominations.

Functions:

Employment of funds—fund based and non-fund based

Fund based lending: It is where there is actual lending by the bank with direct funds being provided
to customers through disbursing term loans, bill discounting, factoring etc

Non Fund based lending: Here the bank does not actually lend funds to the customer but acts as a
backing to a customer for a certain fee to help him avail funds from another organization. The bank
takes on the risk of meeting payment obligations on behalf of the customer in case the customer
defaults on his payments. These are in the form of Letters of credit and bank guarantees. Thus only if
the customer defaults then the bank has to make the payment on his behalf to the lender and that
becomes fund based lending for the bank. This is a contingent liability for the bank.

Term Loans: Banks lend money in this mode when the repayment is sought to be made in fixed, pre-
determined installments. This type of loan is normally given to the borrowers for acquiring long term
assets i.e. Plants, machinery, business expansion funding-organic/inorganic
Letter of Credit: Letters of credit are used primarily in international trade transactions of significant
value, for deals between a supplier in one country and a customer in another. The parties to a letter
of credit are usually a beneficiary or seller who is to receive the money, the issuing bank of whom
the applicant or buyer is a client, and the advising bank of whom the beneficiary is a client. Almost
all letters of credit are irrevocable, i.e. cannot be amended or cancelled without prior agreement of
the beneficiary, the issuing bank and the confirming bank. It is an instrument used for settling trade
payments, where payment is made against certain Financial documents such as bill of exchange,
Invoice and packing list, shipping documents such as bill of lading for ships, airway bill and insurance
certificate proving the shipment was insured against loss or damage in transit etc. The bank will only
issue a letter of credit if they know the buyer will pay. Some buyers have to deposit (or already have)
enough money to cover the letter of credit, and some customers use a line of credit with the bank. A
seller only gets paid after performing specific actions mentioned in the LOC that the buyer and seller
agree to and the banks simply review documents proving that a seller performed his required
actions

Bank Guarantees: A guarantee from a lending institution ensuring that the liabilities of a debtor will
be met. In other words, if the debtor fails to settle a debt, the bank will cover it. An importer may
request his bank for a bank guarantee against his payment obligation or a business house.

Difference between LC and Bank guarantee

A letter of credit is a bank’s direct undertaking to the seller (called the beneficiary) to pay. When a
letter of credit is in use, the issuing bank does not wait for the buyer to default, and for the seller to
invoke the undertaking.

In contrast, a guarantee is a written contract stating that IN THE EVENT the primary party (the buyer)
is unable or unwilling to pay its dues to the supplier only then the bank, as guarantor to the
transaction, would pay the client's debt to the seller.
With a bank guarantee, only if a client defaults the bank assumes liability. With a letter of credit,
liability rests solely with the issuing bank which then must collect the money from its client.
Therefore, the principal character of an LC is that it is a potential claim against the bank, rather than
a bank's client as in the case of bank guarantee. So LC is riskier for the issuing bank as compared to a
bank guarantee.

Pre shipment finance: This is also called Packing Credit, which is short term working capital provided
to exporters to procure raw materials, manufacture, arrange for shipment , warehousing etc. This is
provided to the seller by his bank on furnishing a Letter of credit issued from the buyer’s bank or a
confirmed order from a reputed foreign purchaser. This is provided before the goods are loaded for
departure.

Post shipment finance: Working capital provided to exporters when the bank advances funds from
the time a shipment that has been dispatched to the importer till the time the export proceeds are
realized by seller. Post Shipment Finance is an insured deal, the seller submits to his bank the Bill of
Lading from the Ship, The official Bill charged to the buyer, a copy of the insurance policy insuring
the goods in case the ship sinks, goods damaged etc. against which the bank provides payment.
Incase a letter of credit has been provided by the importer/buyer’s bank, then the exporter/seller’s
bank checks whether these documents are in conformity to the LOC and then provides the capital.

Factoring: It is a financial transaction whereby a business sells its accounts receivable (i.e. invoices)
to a third party (called a factor) at a discount in exchange for immediate money with which to
finance continued business. The factor (bank) obtains the right to receive the payments made by the
debtor for the invoice amount and must bear the loss if the debtor does not pay the invoice amount.
Factoring is the sale of receivables whereas bill discounting is borrowing where the receivable is
used as collateral. The duration of lending capital under Factoring is usually for less than 180 days.
Factoring is an insured deal (Credit risk- ICICI Lombard, Atradius, Coface, New India Assurance), since
risk is transferred to the bank post purchasing the Bill/ invoice. Factoring does not need a LOC or
bank guarantee from the buyer unlike forfeiting and these are finances for short durations. The
factor charges the seller a service charge, as well as interest based on how long the factor must wait
to receive payments from the debtor. The factor also estimates the amount that may not be
collected due to non-payment, and makes accommodation for this when determining the amount
that will be given to the seller. The factor's overall profit is the difference between the price it paid
for the invoice and the money received from the debtor, less the amount lost due to non-payment

Forfaiting: “ Forfait” is derived from French word “a forfait” which means forfeiting or surrender
of rights. It is a method of export trade financing, especially when dealing in capital goods (which
have long payment periods- 180 days up to 7 years) or with high risk countries. In forfaiting, a bank
advances cash to an exporter against invoices or promissory notes guaranteed by the importer's
bank or against LOC issued by importer’s bank. The amount advanced is always 'without recourse'
to the exporter i.e. once exporter obtains financing payments, he will not be responsible for the
solvency of the debtors any more. The amount funded is less than the invoice or note amount as
it is discounted by the bank. The discount rates depends on the terms of the invoice/note and the
level of the associated risk. There is no more payments or administrative expenses due from the
exporter. Unlike forfeiting however, factoring does not require a bank guarantee or LOC, can be
used by small exporters and covers small amounts and short maturities such as less than 180
days.

Bill discounting: discounting is borrowing by the seller/exporter where the receivable i.e. promissory
note is used as collateral and the seller/ exporter thereby avails working capital from the bank.
Type of bills:
Clean Bills: These bills are not supported by any ‘document of title to goods’ since both the goods
and documents such as bill of lading etc which allows the delivery to buyer has already been sent to
the buyer. Thus this is like an unsecured loan which depends on the creditworthiness and honesty of
counterparties.

Accommodation Bill: Bill of exchange endorsed by a reputable third party (called an accommodation
party or accommodation endorser) acting as a guarantor, as a favor and without compensation. The
bill then can be discounted on the financial strength of the guarantor who remains liable until the bill
is paid.

Documentary Bill: These are bills accompanied by ‘documents of title to goods’ such as airway bills,
bill of lading, lorry receipt , warehouse receipt etc, which gives the holder of these documents the
right to take delivery and possession of these goods. These are safer than Clean bills since they are
backed by the security of the ‘documents of title to goods’ which are endorsed in the favor of the
bank who can take delivery of the goods, liquidate them and realize the debt in the case of
nonpayment.

2 types of these bills is Documents against payment (The buyer has to first pay the seller’s bank,
then collect the documents of title to goods, and then taking delivery of goods) and documentary
usance bill or Document against acceptance (These bills give a credit period to the buyer, where the
seller instructs his bank to hand over the “document of title to goods” only if the buyer accepts the
bill payment in writing mentioning a specified date of payment)

Supply bills: Do not fall under the negotiable Instruments Act. These are raised when the buyer is the
government or some very large corporations. Delivery is made first against a ‘work order’ and post
the buyer inspects the goods an ‘invoice’ is raised by buyer along with a certification of acceptance
of goods. Both these are then submitted to the bank by the supplier and finance is raised..
Cash credit facilities: This account is the primary method in which Banks lend money against the
security of commodities, inventories etc. It runs like a current account except that the money that
can be withdrawn from this account is not restricted to the amount deposited in the account.
Instead, the account holder is permitted to withdraw a certain sum called "limit" or "credit facility"
in excess of the amount deposited in the account. The banks also levy a ‘commitment charge’ on the
unutilized amount due to opportunity cost.
Cash Credits are, in theory, payable on demand. These are, therefore, counter part of demand
deposits of the Bank.

Overdraft facilities- Borrower may overdraw his current account up to an agreed limit and pays
interest only for the time the money is used, the act of overdrawing from a Bank account. In other
words, the account holder withdraws more money from a Bank Account than has been deposited in
it.
Difference between Cash Credit and over draft: In the case of Cash Credit, a proper limit is
sanctioned which normally is a certain percentage of the value of the commodities/inventory
pledged by the account holder with the Bank. Overdraft, on the other hand, is allowed against a host
of other securities including financial instruments like shares, units of mutual funds, surrender value
of LIC policy and debentures even personal guarantee of borrower or his ‘net worth’, which is called
a Clean overdraft. This makes it riskier hence a higher interest rate than cash credit. Overdraft is not
on demand like cash credit but has to be appraised by the bank after the customer approaches the
bank

Charge: When banks accept different securities in respect to loans granted, the bank is said to have a
‘charge’ over these assets which constitute these securities. There is Fixed charge (A specific charge
giving the bank the right to sell designated properties to recover debt) and Floating charge (This is a
charge on present and future property and not attached to any specific asset)

Mortgage: It is the transfer of interest to the lender in specific immovable property for the purpose
of securing a loan, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms
of the mortgage have been satisfied. It is a security for the loan that the borrower provides to the
lender. The ownership remains with the borrower, but some rights are transferred to the bank such
as recovering its dues by selling the property. Most prevalent is Equitable mortgage where all the
original title deeds of the property and GPA is given to the bank and taken back by the borrower
once loan is repaid.

Pledge: There should be bailment of goods. Bailment is derived from the French word bailer which
means to deliver. The objective of the bailment should be to hold the goods as security for the
payment of a debt or the performance of a promise. There is actual or constructive delivery of goods
to the lender. The bank is the Plegee, who enters into an explicit contract with borrower (Pledgor)
under which the securities are delivered to the bank. This then can get liquidated and sold by the
bank in case of non payment.
Hypothecation: Hypothecation is a charge against property for an amount of debt where neither
ownership nor possession is passed to the creditor. Hypothecation is a charge against movable
property. The goods will, unlike a pledge, be retained by the borrower and be in the borrower’s
possession. The borrower gives only a letter stating that the goods are hypothecated to the banker
as security for the loan granted. Legally the borrower cannot sell these goods till the time the
repayment is made. The document contains a clause that obligates the borrower to give possession
of the goods to the bank on demand by the bank.

Difference between the three:

In a mortgage there is transfer of interest in the immovable property till the re-payment of the loan
and borrower has to sign General power of attorney in favour of the bank which remain worthy
until the full & final payment. Hypothecation involves movable property which is given as security
for the loan however the possession of movable property remains with the debtor. In the case of
pledge too, movable property is the security, but here, the creditor i.e. bank, is given physical
possession of the movable property.

Assignment: The borrower assigns actionable claims to the bank. Actionable claims or receivables
due to the borrower are money due from government departments or semi government
organizations or receipts from Life insurance policies. The bank gets absolute right over the funds
assigned to it and other creditors of the borrower do not get priority over the bank in realizing their
dues from the assigned debt.

Banker’s Lien: ‘Lien’ is the right of the bank to retain the securities given by the borrower until the
debt due is fully repaid.
There is General Lien which confers the right to the bank to retain any goods bailed to them till
payment is recovered. And there is Particular Lien where specific securities are earmarked for
specific debt. The bank has the right to sell the goods and securities of the borrower defaults.
