MESSAGE FROM CHIEF GENERAL MANAGER & HEAD (STU)

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”


- Salvador Dali

Dear Colleagues,
There are numerous objectives in each of our lives and for most of us professional
success figures amongst one of the primary objectives. However, continuous learning is
the lifeblood of all career related aspirations and even job safety. In a world where nearly
all the information is at our fingertips, the barriers to learning are gone and STU has
been privileged to support SBIians in this digital transformation through a series
ingenious learning solutions - webinars, e-panel discussions, digitalized eRBCs, blended
learning and innovative courseware designed in-house & hosted on edX.

To support experiential learning, we have come out with offbeat initiatives like real-life
case study base quizzes through the online ‘Case Study Discussion Board’, realistic
information on grass-root operational issues through ‘Anweshan’ e-compendium of
research, daily current affairs quiz- ‘My Quest Today’ and micro-help documents through
ask SBI. All this ensures that learning never stops in SBI and SBILD, Akola has added
to this array of skilling options available to employees through its booklet ‘Master Stroke’
Master Stroke_ SBILD Akola 2
While ‘Master Stroke’ has been designed as an aid for those employees who want
more- more challenges, more opportunities and are ready to move to the next step
professionally, I am sanguine that the booklet will be of immense value to not only
promotional aspirants but all employees who desire to be in sync with the dynamic trends
in the Bank.

I compliment the Team SBILD Akola for designing this e-booklet as a tool for enriching
employee knowledge, under the guidance of their Director Shri Milind V Desai.

I also extend my best wishes to all the promotional aspirants and am sure, they
will make the best use of the booklet and succeed in their endeavours.

With Best Wishes,


M. Jayashree Reddy
CGM & Head (STU)

asked to confirm that the cheque when presented at the branch will be paid. Mr.
Amitabh is a valued customer and always maintains a very healthy balance in his
account. You are the Service Manager of the Branch and how will you respond in
this situation?

Ans. The bank has to act very carefully to avoid any breach of obligation to maintain
secrecy of customer ‘s a/c. As such, you should insist on talking to Mr. Amitabh and after
making some queries of a personal nature, should satisfy yourself that the person you
are talking to over the telephone is Mr. Amitabh .If your doubts about Mr. Amitabh‘s
identity have been fully allayed, his express consent for disclosure must be obtained and
thereafter the response to the Jewelry shop owner should be given in a very guarded
manner i.e., if the cheque is presented now and found in order in all respects, it will be
paid‘. Caution in such cases is essential as there are chances that the bank may not be

Master Stroke_ SBILD Akola 319


Ans. The finder of lost goods is treated as bailee of the goods and is therefore charged
with the responsibility of a bailee, besides the responsibility of making reasonable efforts
in finding the true owner.

The finder of lost goods also enjoys certain rights,

i. Right to retain the goods (Sec.168 of Indian Contract Act) until he receives
compensation for the money spent in preserving the goods and also the amount
spent in finding the true owner and,

time the Branch manager receives a phone call from Mister Sriram that he has
quarrelled with his wife and hence her check should not be honoured. How would
you proceed in the matter as a branch manager?

Ans: A joint account is opened by two or more parties. It can be closed only be all the
parties acting together. Unless in the account opening form they have advised the bank
that the account can be closed at the request of one of them. Hence, the account cannot
be closed be Smt Ram.

Sri Ram’s Statement also lends credence to the disagreement between Smt Ram and
Sri Ram. The account holders must be advised that the account can be operated in
future only jointly be both of them. Smt Ram advised to proceed with the appointment of
a receiver for Sri Ram on the ground of his mental soundness. Discrete and independent
enquiries must also be made about the soundness of mind of Sri Ram. The obvious risk
of such enquiries and their delicate nature must be carefully born in mind.

8.Mr X handed over Rs 50,000 to the branch manager for issue of fixed deposit.
The branch manager issued a receipt under his seal but forging on it the signature
of the service manager. He misappropriated the amount on the due date Mr X was
advised that the receipt has been forged and as no entries had been made in the
books of the bank. The banks were not liable on it. Examine the banks contention.

Ans: Under the law governing master and servant(i.e employer & employee) if a fraud is
committed be the employee in the course of his masters business and if the employee
acts withing his actual or ostensible power /authority , then the master is liable for
damages vicariously.

In the instant case the branch manager has obviously acted within his capacity in
accepting the deposit. Hence, the bank is liable for the fraudulent act of the manager
provided Mr X is not a party to it.

9.A current account customer is unable to sign the check as he has suffered from
paralysis stroke his wife requesting funds urgently for the treatment it appears
that he may be able to signed with the left hand instead of the usual right hand .

customer thumb impression may be obtained on the check/withdrawal form. It should be
witnessed by two independent witnesses known to the bank. One of the witnesses may
be the wife and the second one is the bank officials themselves. In the long runup if the
customer is able to sign with the left hand then the specimen of his left-hand signature
may be obtained and kept on record. He can sign checks as per specimen signature.

10.You issued a Bank Guarantee for Rs. 3.00 lakhs. The applicant was an electrical
contractor, and the beneficiary was NTPC. The BG was invoked by NTPC by means
of a telegram/Email. Immediately you contacted the contractor who advised you
not to make payment, as he possessed the clearance certificate from NTPC. How
will you deal with such situation?

Ans: The beneficiary of the BG NTPC can invoke the guarantee any time before the
expiry period of lodgement of claims. Invocation can be done by Telex/Telegram/Email
also. It is not necessary for the beneficiary to satisfy the bank about the default or the
amount of actual loss suffered by him. The banks liability under BG is absolute,
independent, and exclusive of any other contract entered into by the applicant and the
beneficiary. It is therefore obligatory on the part of the bank to pay the beneficiary without
demur, the amount of BG on its invocation.

Otherwise the credibility of the bank will suffer. Hence, the amount has to be paid to
NTPC as per BG.

11.Mr & Mrs A are having a current account operated on E or S. Both of them are
going abroad and want to authorise their minor child to operate the account.
Discuss.

Ans: 1- A minor and act as an agent but he cannot act as a principal. Also, a minor can
draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque so
as to bind all parties except himself as per section 26 of N.I Act.

2- Thus legally he can be appointed by Mr & Mrs A. We have to satisfy ourselves that
the minor has a legible and uniform signature, he is capable of understanding the
implications of bank transaction. Both Mr & Mrs A have to sign the banks standard
mandate letter.

3- However it is an established practice in banks not to accept such mandates in view of


the risk of overdrawing etc.

given to the company may improve their profits and come out of sickness. What
will you do in the present situation?

borrowing powers of the company.

PASSAGE 1
Directions (1-8)- Read the following passage and answer the following questions based on the given
passage.

People who have been yearning for major economic reforms from the Narendra Modi government, it
seems, will have to wait to have their dreams come true. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on
Saturday presented the third round of stimulus measures to resuscitate the struggling economy, but
once again these have largely failed to live up to the initial hype around them. The previous two rounds
of the stimulus plan, presented at press conferences held by the Minister over the last few weeks,
focused primarily on reviving the automobile sector, boosting the confidence of foreign investors who
were spooked by the Budget announcements in July, and improving the health of dangerously fragile
state-owned banks by doing everything short of privatising them. This time around the focus has been
on helping out the underperforming export and real estate sectors through piecemeal fiscal reforms.
Among other things, Ms. Sitharaman announced a new tax refund scheme and greater priority sector
lending for the export sector to incentivise exports. It is expected that the new tax breaks to the exports
sector will cause a dent of up to 50,000 crore to the government's revenue. Further, external commercial
borrowing norms have been eased to make it easier for Indian real estate companies to tap funds from
abroad, and funds worth 110,000 crore have also been allocated to aid the completion of affordable
housing projects. With lack of demand and major supply-side stoppage being the primary issues facing
exports and real estate, it is doubtful whether the present measures will be enough to revive these
flailing sectors.

Overall, cutting across all three stimulus rounds announced till date, the government has been relying
almost entirely on providing fiscal relief, in the form of tax cuts coupled with a tiny amount of government
spending, to wade through what seems like a structural crisis in the economy. The hope seems to be
that these measures combined with a looser monetary policy stance adopted by the RBI will boost
spending and revive growth. This is, however, a far cry from what many expected from a government
that promised radical structural reforms when it rose to power in 2014. Without enacting any major
supply-side reforms like land and labour reforms that can raise potential growth, it is also hard to see
Master Stroke_ SBILD Akola 326
how greater spending can raise growth for very long. The government may believe that the present
slowdown, marked by five consecutive quarters of dropping growth, is merely a cyclical one. But given
the size of its victory in two consecutive elections, the government should aim higher by trying to push
through long-pending structural reforms that can raise India's growth trajectory to the next level.

PASSAGE 3
Directions (1-8)- Read the following passage and answer the following questions based on the given
passage. Some of the words are highlighted which would help you to answer some of the questions
given.

For the past 10 years, all exports of pulses have been banned This was presumably for food security
and price stability, But this export ban has hurt farmers, who couldn't take advantage of high prices. It
got worse, because when prices did shoot up, the government panicked and started importing at zero
duty. The imports didn't stop despite a record harvest When prices of food crops go up, the Central
government swings into action, clamping down on exports, bringing in zero-duty imports, imposing
stocking and storage limits, and so on. But when the opposite happens, that is when prices crash, often,
there is no corresponding reverse rescue. This is an example of the inherent urban bias in India's
agriculture policy, which persists to this day. Indeed, among all World Trade Organization members,
India is among a handful of countries with negative protection of agriculture.

Lastly, one more policy lesson is that pulses continue to be in the Agriculture Produce Marketing
Committee (APMC) Act. Thus farmers are not free to sell to any buyer they wish but must go through
the APMC.

Pulses are an important source of protein in India. Almost one-fifth of total acreage used to grow them.
They are also an important source of soil fertility since they provide nitrogen through fixation. Indeed,
a pulses plant is called a mini fertilizer factory. Pulses were part of the six technology missions created
in the 1980s (they were added to the oilseeds mission), to greatly enhance their production, use of
technology and processing. But despite the mission-mode approach, India is still not self-sufficient in
pulses production. And farmers continue to be at the mercy of nature, markets, pests and government
policies.

The story of pulses is repeated across various crops. In cashew, India's Kollam used to be the world's
capital, but has lost out to Vietnam due to its failure to adopt technology and due to excessive
government control. India pioneered the Green Revolution, but scores very poorly in the global hunger
index. The monolithic nationwide policies of promoting and procuring wheat and rice have ultimately
proved harmful to health,

nutrition and environment. Coarse cereals, the staple of most rural folk, were largely ignored by the

passage. Some of the words are highlighted which would help you to answer some of the questions

Frustration is a global cancer. It has spared no country. In some countries, frustration exists because
these countries are populated by 'have nots'. In other countries which are populated by 'haves'.
Frustration is among them also because they do have as far as India is concerned its education system
is breeding more and more frustration among both students and teachers. And yet no one seems too
clear about what can be done to make it more meaningful. Many reforms have been discussed length
but have come to nothing for one reason or another. The authorities are now peddling the idea of
autonomous colleges as a means of toning up teaching standards. They argue that by allowing certain
colleges to introduce their own courses, hold seminars, and above all, to evolve their own method of
assessing students, students will get a far better deal. Indeed, they make out that such colleges will
have free hand in nearly every thing except granting degrees. In theory all this sounds, attractive
enough. But there is little to show that the managements concerned are keen on such reforms. Even
today, nothing prevents a college from inviting guest speakers on specialized subjects or holding
courses in English for term vernacular students., But not a single one of those who are now clamouring
for autonomy has bothered to do so. It is no secret that colleges which may be 'Freed to an extent from
university control are highest : In Mumbai, for example, there is big cultural gulf between city colleges
and Jordon degree of autonomy, it will only heightened this disparity.

The answer to the vexed problem of declining standards in higher education does not lie in encouraging
the growth of model institutions, but in improving overall standards. This is of course easier said than
done, since more and more young people are seeking degrees. The only solution, however unpalatable
it may sound, is drastically to reduce the number of those who are admitted to colleges. Even though
Master Stroke_ SBILD Akola 335
there is political pressure on many state governments to build new colleges and to reserve more seats
for backward classes, it will be sheer folly to expand such facilities recklessly without giving any thought
to the quality of education imparted. If admissions are made far more selective, it will automatically
reduce the number of entrants. This should apply particularly to new colleges, many of which are little
more than degree factories. Only then can the authorities hope to bring down the teacher-student ratio
to manageable proportions. What is more, teachers should be given refresher courses every summer
vacation to brush up their knowledge. Besides, if college managements increase the library budget it
will help both staff and students a great deal. At the same time, however, it will be unfair to deny college
education to thousands of young men and women unless employers stop insisting on degrees even for
clerical jobs. For a start, why can't the Government disqualify graduates from securing certain jobs say,
Class III and IV posts? Once the degrees are delinked from jobs, at least in some important
departments it will make many young people think twice before joining college.

The President of the USA, Barack Hussain Obama will be on his maiden visit to India. That a President
of the USA is visiting India in his first term, within the first 24 months of his tenure, undoubtedly denotes
the position India occupies in the American foreign policy calculus. It is also an indicator that the
relationship between the world's two largest democracies is on a strong footing. India and United states
politically and economically play a significant role in global arena While the US is the world's strongest
democracy, India is the largest Similarly, while the US is the world's largest economy, India is the
second fastest growing major economy. The US is India's largest export destination and also one of
the leading foreign investors in India. Further, with the Indian economy estimated to grow to 90% of the
US economy by 2050. The growing Indo -US relationship will be a decisive force shaping the contours
of the world economy in 21 century.

In a move to further improve economic relations, both countries had two rounds of exploratory talks in
the first half of the 2008 on the proposed Bilateral Investment Treaty, and decided to start formal
negotiations soon. The proposed agreement would enable certification of Indian aviation and
aeronautic products by the US authorities. Further more India and US will also be soon signing the
Totalization agreement to promote Indo-US cooperation on social security. The agreement will be

passage. Some of the words are highlighted which would help you to answer some of the questions
given.

Comfort is now one of the causes of its own spread. It has now become a physical habit, a fashion, an
ideal to be pursued for its own sake. The more comfort is brought into the world, the more it is likely to
be valued. To those who have known comfort, discomfort is a real torture. The fashion which now
decrees the worship of comfort is quite as imperious as any other fashion. Moreover, enormous material
interests are bound up with the supply of the means of comfort. The manufacturers of furniture, of
heating apparatus, of plumbing fixtures cannot afford to let the love of comfort die. In modern
advertisements they have found a means for compelling it to live and grow.
A man of means today, who builds a house, is in general concerned primarily with the comfort of his
future residence. He will spend a great deal of money on bathrooms, heating apparatus, padded
furnishings, and having spent he will regard re his house as perfect. His counter part in an earlier age
would have been primarily concerned with the impressiveness and magnificence of his dwelling with
beauty, in a word, rather than comfort. The money our contemporary would spend on baths and central
heating would have been spent on marble staircases, frescoes, pictures and statues. I am inclined to
think that our present passion for comfort is a little exaggerated. Though I personally enjoy comfort, I
have lived most happily in houses devoid of everything that Anglo-Saxons deem indispensable,
Orientals and even South Europeans who know not comfort and live very much as our ancestors did
centuries ago seem to go on very well without our elaborate apparatus and padded luxuries However,
comfort for me has a justification: it facilitates mental life. Discomfort handicaps thought; it is difficult to
use the mind when they body is cold and aching.

PASSAGE 7
Directions (1-8)- Read the following passage and answer the following questions based on the given
passage.

Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a Professor of Physics. At an early
age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted
her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned
that the university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive higher education, she
defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her
master's degree and doctorate in Physics.

Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day,
one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive
years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was
killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured
heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had
shared in scientific research. The fact that she had two young daughters to raise by herself greatly
increased her distress.

Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a
physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-
famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium. Although
Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became
disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science
and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.

PASSAGE 8

passage.

In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the
first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal,
but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he
was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V
of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees longitude
to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell
under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More
than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a
water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the
southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50
degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of
Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were
privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the
meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on
the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and
disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a
tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano
survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is
round, with no precipice at the edge.
