Introduction
With the widening areas of banking operations, transactions which are undertaken by banks are ever
growing, both in volume and veracity. Certain important provisions of laws which embody rights, powers,
duties, liabilities and responsibilities of a Bank, are briefly dealt with, in this chapter. Certain important
provisions of following laws are covered:
Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881: Certain important Sections are given below.
Negotiability means transfer of the instrument to another person so as to constitute him the holder.
Negotiation of Bearer cheque is completed by delivery (Sec-47) and Order cheque by delivery and
endorsement (Sec-48).
Sec.4 - Promissory note is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional undertaking, signed by the
maker, to pay a certain sum of money only to, or to the order of a certain person, or to the bearer of
the instrument. Requires to be stamped as per Indian Stamp Act
However, Sec.31 (2) of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, has now prohibited the issue of promissory
notes expressed to be payable to the bearer except as provided by that section.
Currency note are not Promisory Notes (Indian Currency Act-Sec 21).
Sec.5 - Bill of Exchange is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional order, signed by the
maker, directing a certain person to pay a certain sum of money only to or to the order of a certain
person or to the bearer of the instrument.
Sec.6 - Cheque is a bill of exchange drawn on a specified banker and not expressed to be payable
otherwise than on demand.
Note: The above section implies that every cheque is a bill of exchange and is always drawn on a banker
and payable on demand.
Sec.8 - Holder of a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque means, any person entitled in his own
name to the possession thereof and to receive or recover the amount due thereon from the parties
thereto. Actual possession is not essential. Consideration is not compulsory to become a holder.
Note: To claim as a holder the person must acquire the title lawfully. A person, who takes the instrument
either under a forged or invalid endorsement such as that of a thief, cannot be regarded as a 'holder'.
Further, no person can sue on a negotiable instrument, unless he is named therein as a 'payee', or he
gets his title as an endorsee or a 'bearer'.
Sec.9- Holder-in-due-Course means any person, who for consideration became the possessor of a
promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque if payable to bearer, or the payee or endorsee thereof, if
payable to order, before the amount mentioned in it became payable and without having sufficient cause
to believe that any defect existed in the title of the person from whom he derived the title.
To be a holder-in-due-course, banker must be a payee or an endorsee if it is an 'order' cheque or be a
possessor of a bearer cheque. To claim the rights of a holder-in-due-course, cheque must be in the
possession of the banker.
Holder for Value is not defined in the Negotiable Instruments Act. However, if value of a negotiable
instrument has at any time being given, its holder is deemed to be a holder for value. If a banker allows
his customers to draw against the cheque before it is cleared, banker becomes holder for value. When a
Sec.118 presumes that every holder of a negotiable instrument is a 'holder-in-due-course' until the
contrary is proved.
Consideration:
To become a 'holder-in-due-course' a person should have obtained the instrument for a lawful
consideration. Whereas it is not so to become a 'holder'.
Before maturity:
To be a 'holder-in-due-course' a person must acquire title and possession of the instrument before its
maturity. In case of 'holder' he may obtain the possession thereon even after maturity.
Good faith:
Person who claims to be 'holder-in-due-course' of a negotiable instrument must have acquired it in good
faith, without having sufficient reason to believe that any defect exists in the title of the person from
whom he has acquired it. However, for a person who claims to be a 'holder' he need not fulfill this
condition.
Sec.10- Payment in due course:
Payment according to the apparent tenor of the instrument in good faith and without negligence, to any
person in possession thereof under circumstances which do not afford reasonable ground to believe that
the person receiving the payment is not entitled to receive the payment of the amount therein
mentioned.
Various protections available to a paying banker are available only if the payment is 'in due course'.
Sec.13 - There are three types of negotiable instruments viz. Promissory Notes, Bills of Exchange and
Cheque, Note, Demand draft is not a cheque but it is a bill of exchange. However, for the purpose of
Secs.125 and 131, it is treated as a 'cheque'.
Sec.14 - When a promissory note, bill of exchange or a cheque is transferred to any person, so as to
constitute that person the holder thereof, the instrument is said to be negotiated.
Sec.15 - Endorsement: When the maker or holder of the negotiable instrument signs the same on the
face or back thereof for the purpose of negotiation to another person, it is called endorsement.
Sec.16 (1) - Blank endorsement: If the endorser simply signs his name without adding any person's
name or directions, it is said to be an endorsement in blank. An order instrument becomes payable to
bearer sec-54.
Sec.16 (2) - Full endorsement: If an endorser signs his name and adds a direction to pay to or to the
order of a specified person, it is said to be an endorsement in full.
Note: For negotiation of a bearer instrument delivery is essential. For negotiation of an order
Sec.18 - When the amount written in 'words' and ‗figures‘ differs, banks can pay the amount written in
'words' provided the payment is in due course.
Sec.19 - Demand bill: Where no time for payment of a bill of exchange is specified, and a cheque is
payable on 'demand'.
Sec.21 - Bills drawn with expressions 'on demand', 'at sight' or 'on presentment' indicates that the bill
is payable on 'demand'. Usance/Time bill: A bill which is expressed to be payable after a fixed period or
after sight or on a specified day or on the happening of an event which is certain to happen is called an
'usance bill/time bill'.
Sec.22 - The maturity date of a promissory note or a bill of exchange is the date on which if falls due.
3 days of grace are allowed on promissory note or a bill of exchange not payable on demand, e.g.:
- Bill or note payable so many months or days after date.
- Bill or note payable so many months or days after sight.
- Bill or note payable on a specified date.
Sec.23 - Determination of 'due date' of a bill payable so many months after date or sight –
- Determine the corresponding date of month after the stated number of months.
- Add 3 days of grace.
- It will be due on the 4th day.
Illustration:

Sec.24 - Determination of 'due date' of a bill payable so many days after date or sight:
- Calculate so many days from the date of the bill or date of acceptance after excluding the date of
bill or date of acceptance.
Add 3 days to the day so arrived at.
It will be due on the 4th day.
Illustration:
Since 14/03/2012 is a Sunday, the bill is due on preceding day i.e. 13/03/2012 (Sec.25)
Since 29/02/2012 is a Sunday, the bill is due on preceding day i.e. 28/02/2012 (Sec.25)
Sec.25 - When the day on which a promissory note or a bill of exchange matures (after adding 3 days
of grace, wherever allowed) on a Sunday or a public holiday (declared by the Central Government or
State Government by a notification under official gazette under Negotiable Instruments Act) the
instrument shall be deemed to be due on the next preceding business day.
Minor: A minor may draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate such instrument so as to bind all parties except
himself. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower a corporation to make, endorse or accept
such instrument except in cases to which under the law for the time being in force, they are so
empowered."
Under the provisions of General Clauses Act (X of 1897), the term "person‖ includes any company or
association or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not. The last paragraph of the above section
specifically negates any interpretation of the section that may be relied upon to confer any power on a
company for making, endorsing or accepting a negotiable instrument and its powers in this regard are
regulated by the Companies Act, 1956 and other statutory enactment.
Every person capable of binding himself or of being bound may as mentioned in Section 26 so bind
himself or be bound by a duly authorised agent acting in his name.
A general authority to transact business and to receive and discharge debts does not confer upon an
agent the power of accepting or endorsing bills of exchange so as to bind his principal. An authority to
draw bills of exchange does not by itself impart an authority to endorse a negotiable instrument.
Sec. 30 - Liability of the drawer: "The drawer of a bill of exchange or cheque is bound, in case of
dishonour by the drawee or acceptor thereof, to compensate the holder, provided due notice of
dishonour has been given to or received by the drawer as hereinafter provided."
Under this section the contract of the drawer of a cheque is similar to that of the drawer of a bill
except that in case of cheques there is no acceptance and the payment is due on presentment. In case
the cheque or the bill is not paid, the holder has recourse to the drawer. However, notice of dishonour
should be given by the holder to the drawer to establish liability of the drawer.
It is obligatory on the part of the banker to honour his customers' cheques to the extent of funds lying
with him on their account. In case of a wrongful dishonour, court/consumer forum may award exemplary
damages for loss of credit of the customer in addition to the amount of compensation.
However, the obligation to pay cheques arises unless agreed to by and between bank and customer
otherwise primarily at the branch of the bank where the account is kept and during banking hours and
the bank is not bound to honour the cheques at any other branch unless agreed to by and between the
Bank and the customer. The banker also has a right to insist on having his mandate in a form which does
not leave room for misgiving as to what he is called upon to do (in other words there should not be any
ambiguity) and the Banker is not bound to pay unless the cheque is in proper form, correctly signed,
endorsed by payee and presented at the proper time and place.
Sec.56 - Endorsements for part of sum due.
No writing on a negotiable instrument is valid for the purpose of negotiation if such writing purports to
transfer only a part of the amount appearing to be due on the instrument but where such amount has
been partly paid, a note to that effect may be endorsed on the instrument which may then be negotiated
for the balance.
When a negotiable instrument has been lost or has been obtained from any maker, acceptor or holder
thereof by means of an offence or fraud, or for an unlawful consideration, no possessor or endorsee who
claims through the person who found or so obtained the instrument is entitled to receive the amount due
thereon from such maker, acceptor or holder or from any party, prior to such holder, unless such
possessor or endorsee is, or some person through whom he claims was a holder thereof in due course.
NOTE:
Thus a person who is sued on an instrument may show:-
- that it had originated for an illegal consideration or
- that the consideration was absent or that it has failed wholly or in part, or
- that it was delivered conditionally and the condition has not been fulfilled, or
- that its possession was obtained from him by fraud or by an offence like theft etc.
If a maker/ acceptor of an instrument pays on it before maturity, the instrument is said to be ―retired"
but it is not discharged and its negotiability has not ended. It may be reissued before maturity. But if a
party primarily liable has paid on it at or after maturity its negotiability comes to an end and it cannot
be reissued because the instrument is discharged by such payment.
Sec.77 - Liability of banker for negligently dealing with bill presented for payment:
When a bill of exchange accepted payable at a specified bank has been duly presented thereof for
payment and dishonoured, if the banker so negligently or improperly keeps or deals with or delivers back
such bill as to cause loss to the holder, he must compensate the holder for such loss. If an acceptor has
accepted a bill of exchange payable at his bankers the banker who receives the bill from the holder for
payment is a bailee. If he dishonours it, he must take proper care of it and return it to the holder. If
the banker is negligent he will be liable to the holder.
Sec.80 - Interest payable on negotiable instrument:
Interest @ 18% p.a. is to be paid by the parties charged on the basis of a negotiable instrument if no
rate of interest is specified in the instrument (w.e.f. 30.12.1988). The interest is payable from the date
the amount ought to have been paid by the party charged until tender or realisation of the amount due
thereon or until such date after the institution of a suit to recover such amount as the court directs.
When the party charged is an endorser of an instrument, he is liable to pay interest only from the time
that he receives notice of the dishonour.
Sec. 85 - Protection to paying banker:
Baroda Academy 8 Inventing methods for inventing minds
Where a cheque payable to order purports to be endorsed by or on behalf of the payee, the drawee is
discharged by payment in due course.
Where a cheque is originally expressed to be payable to bearer, the drawee is discharged by payment in
due course to the bearer thereof, notwithstanding any endorsement whether in full or in blank appearing
thereon and notwithstanding that any such endorsement purports to restrict or exclude further
negotiation.
NOTES: Banker is under an obligation to honour his customer's cheque. This obligation can be
discharged only if the cheque he honours is among other things a legal one and is also regular and
unambiguous in form.
Sub-Section (2) of Section 85 affords protection to a banker by providing that no bearer cheque should
lose its bearer character by any endorsement on the same but the protection afforded is available only
if the payment is in due course. The banker can not afford to overlook the endorsements made before
paying the money to the holder of the cheque. It must at least appear that the holder is the person
entitled to payment.
As regards cheques payable to order, the mandate is fulfilled only by paying to the payee named or to
some person to whom he has transferred the instrument by a genuine endorsement. When payment is
made by a banker on a forged endorsement or on an endorsement by an agent contrary to instructions or
in excess of authority, then such payment becomes a payment not in due course.
Though, the question whether a payment was payment in due course is one of the facts to be determined
by the circumstances of each case, it is clear that payment of cheque before due date, payment after
countermand, payment on bankruptcy or after passing of a winding up order, payment of cheque
containing unauthenticated alteration, payment to improper person are not payments in due course.
Moreover, under Section 129, payment of a crossed cheque generally otherwise than to a banker or a
cheque crossed specially otherwise than to a banker to whom the same is crossed, or his agent for
collection being a banker is also payment out of due course.
Any material alteration of a negotiable instrument renders it void as against any one who is a party at
the time of making such alteration and does not consent thereto, unless it was made in order to carry
out the common intention of the original parties and any alteration if made by an endorsee, discharges
his endorser from all liability to him in respect of the consideration thereof.
"When a promissory note or bill of exchange has been dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment,
the holder may cause such dishonour to be noted by a notary public upon the instrument or upon a paper
attached thereto or partly upon each." "Such note must be made within a reasonable time after
dishonour and must specify the date of dishonour, the reason, if any, assigned for such dishonour or if
the instrument has not been expressly dishonoured, the reason why the holder treats it as dishonoured
and the notary's charges."
Baroda Academy 9 Inventing methods for inventing minds
Notes: Section 99 provides the method for establishing the fact of dishonour of a promissory note or a
bill of exchange by "noting". 'Noting' is a minute made on the instrument or upon a paper attached
thereto by a notary public.
Sec.100 - Protest:
"When a promissory note or bill of exchange has been dishonoured by non-acceptance or non-payment,
the holder may, within a reasonable time, cause such dishonour to be noted and certified by a notary
public. Such certificate is called a protest."
Note: Protest is a formal certificate issued by the notary public certifying the fact of the dishonour of
bill of exchange or promissory note and is based on the noting.
"Foreign bills of exchange must be protested for dishonour when such protest is required by the law of
the place where they are drawn."
Note: Foreign bills of exchange are: a) bills drawn outside India and made payable in or drawn upon any
person resident in any country outside India, b) Bills drawn outside India and made payable in India or
drawn upon a resident in India and c) bills drawn in India and made payable outside India.
Inland bills, i.e. bills drawn and payable in India are not compulsorily required to be protested for
dishonour. Even in case of foreign bills when the law of the place where they are drawn does not require
protest for dishonour, they need not be so protested. However, even inland bills should be protested
for dishonour if the drawer/endorser so requests. Moreover, under section 119 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act, a court shall presume the fact of dishonour if a protest is produced before it, unless
it is disproved.
"A banker who has in good faith and without negligence received payment for a customer of a cheque
crossed generally or specially to himself, shall not, in case the title to the cheque proves defective, incur
any liability to the true owner of the cheque, by reason only of having received such payment.
Explanation: A banker receives payment of a crossed cheque for a customer within the meaning of this
section notwithstanding that he credits his customers account with the amount of the cheque before
receiving payment thereof.
It shall be the duty of the banker who receives payment based on an electronic image of a truncated cheque held with him,
to verify the prima facie genuineness of the cheque to be truncated and any fraud, forgery or tampering apparent on the
face of the instrument that can be verified with due diligence and ordinary care
(1) he should act in good faith and without negligence, (2) he should act as mere agent in collection of
the cheque and not on his own account as holder, (3) the person for whom he acts must be his customer
and (4) the cheque must be one crossed generally or specially to himself, unless a collecting banker can
bring himself within the conditions formulated by this section, he is left to his liability for conversion
or for money had and received, in the event, the person from whom he takes the cheque has no title or a
defective title.
Sec.138 - Dishonour of cheques for Insufficiency etc. of funds in the account : ( Note : Please see the
amendment also given on 13.3)
(I) Where any cheque drawn by a person on his bank for the discharge of any legally enforceable debt or
liability is returned by the bank unpaid for the reason of the insufficiency of the amount of money
standing to the credit of the account on which the cheque has been drawn or for the reason that it
exceeds the arrangements made by the drawer of the cheque with the banker for that amount, the
drawer of such cheque shall be deemed to have committed an offence. In that case, the drawer,
without prejudice to the other provisions of the said Act, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a
term, which may extend to one year, or with fine, which may extend to twice the amount of the cheque
or with both.
The section further provides that -
such cheque should have been presented to the bank within a period of six months of the date of its
drawal (in case of post dated cheques, the date of the cheque will be deemed to be the date of
drawal) or within the period of its validity, whichever is earlier,
the payee or holder-in-due-course of such cheque should have made a demand for the payment of the
said amount of money by giving a notice, in writing, to the drawer of the cheque within 15 days of the
receipt of information by him from the bank regarding the return of the cheque unpaid and
the drawer of such cheque should have failed to make the payment of the said amount of money to the
payee or the holder-in-due- course of the cheque within 15 days of receipt of the said notice.
Sec.141 - Provides that if the person committing an offence under Sec.138 is a 'company', every person
who, at the time was committed, was in charge of and was responsible to, the company for the conduct
of the business of the company as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and
shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished as per Sec.138. However, if the person liable to
punishment as above proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge or that he had
exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence, he will not be liable to
punishment.
(a) No court shall take cognizance of any offence punishable under Sec.138 unless a complaint in writing
has been made by payee or the holder in due course.
(b) Such a complaint should be made within one month of the cause of action arising under Sec.138 i.e.
within one month from the expiry of 15th day from the date of receipt of notice from the payee or
holder in due course.
(c) Complaint should be made to the court of a Metropolitan Magistrate or a Judicial Magistrate or any
superior court.
Note:
Sections 138 and 142 are effective from 1.4.1989.
(2) Cheques issued before 1.4.1989 but dishonoured after that date are also covered under these
sections.
(3) Whenever banks purchase clean cheques/drafts drawn in favour of constituents, it must be ensured
that the cheques/drafts should be properly endorsed in Bank's favour to avail provisions of these
sections as "holder in due course".
Generally the provisions of section 138 are applicable only to Cheques. However in the case of Punjab &
Sind Bank V. Vinak Sahakari Bank (2001) CLA – BL (2) 195 (SC) the Supreme Court has held that a Pay
Order can be treated as a Cheque, because of the same being on being an unconditional Order of its
maker, to the concerned person to pay certain sum of money on Demand. In view of this, section 138
applies to Cheques and other Instruments like Demand Draft, Pay Order and Bankers cheque, which can
be treated as cheque by the holder in due course.
Hon‘ble Supreme Court has also held in Modi Cements case, that once the cheque is issued by the drawer
to the Bank/Payee, merely because the drawer issues a notice to the drawee or to the bank for ‗stop
Baroda Academy 12 Inventing methods for inventing minds
payment‘, it will not preclude an action under section 138 of N.I. Act (Modi Cements Ltd. V. Kuchi Kumar
Nandi (1998) 28 CLA (SC) /JT 1998 (2) SC 198).
Vide, the Negotiable Instrument (Amendment & Misc. Provisions) Act 2002 important amendments have
been made to certain provisions of the Negotiable Instrument (Amendment & Misc. Provisions) Act 2002
to the following effect: -
- Definition of a ‗cheque‘ widened to include electronic image of a truncated cheque and a cheque in
electronic forms.
- Right of the banker who received payment on electronic image of a truncated cheque to retain the
truncated cheques.
- Certificate of on text of print out of electronic image of truncated cheque by paying Banker as proof
of payment.
- Doubling of the imprisonment term from one year to two years.
- Doubling of penalty for the offence, i.e. upto twice the amount of the instrument.
- Doubling of the period of time to issue demand notice to drawer from 15 to 30 days.
- Immunity from prosecution for nominee directors, who are nominated by virtue of holding any office
or employment in Central Government or State Government or a financial corporation owned or
controlled by the Central Government or State Government.
- Compounding of offence under the N.I. Act.
- Empowering the magistrate to condone delay in filing complaint
- Bank‘s slip or Memo having Bank‘s official mark denoting that the cheque has been dishonoured shall
be presumed to be the fact of dishonour.
As per Section 146 inserted by the Amendment Act 2002 statutory presumption is given to the bank‘s
endorsement memorandum, which will be treated as prima facie evidence of certain facts. The court, on
production of bank‘s slip or Memo having therein the official mark denoting that the cheque has been
dishonoured, shall presume the fact of dishonour of such cheque, unless and until such fact is disproved.
The usual practice followed by the courts of calling the drawee bank‘s person as a witness to prove this
fact used to cause delay in prosecuting the drawer. Now it is for the accused/drawer to prove that
there were sufficient funds in the account or that the cheque was not returned for the reason
―insufficient funds‖ or any other financial reason.
Therefore, the requirement of branch‘s witness as drawee bank can be dispensed with.
21 ―At Sight‖ / ―On In a promissory note or bill of exchange the expressions ―at sight‖ and ―on
presentment‖/ presentment‖ means ―on demand‖. The expression ―after sight‖ means, in a
―After Sight‖ promissory note, after presentment for sight and in a bill of exchange after
acceptance or noting for non acceptance, or protest for non acceptance .
22 Maturity The maturity of a promissory note or bill of exchange is the due date at
which it falls due.
Every promissory note or bill of exchange which is not expressed to be
payable on demand, at sight or on presentment is at maturity on the third
day after the day on which it is expressed to be payable.
25 When maturity is When the day on which a promissory note or bill of exchange is at maturity,
a holiday is a public holiday, the instrument shall be deemed to be due on the next
preceding business day.
26 Minor A minor may draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate such instruments so as to
bind all parties except himself.
30 Liability of The drawer of a bill of exchange or cheque is bound in case of dishonor by
Drawer the drawee or acceptor thereof, to compensate the holder, provided due
notice of dishonor has been given to or received by the drawer as
hereinafter provided.
46 Delivery The making, acceptance or endorsement of a promissory note, bill of
exchange or cheque is complete by delivery, actual or constructive.
138 Dishonor of Where any cheque drawn by a person on account maintained by him with a
Cheque for banker for payment of any amount of money to another person from out of
insufficiency etc. that account for the discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or other
of funds in the liability, is returned by the bank unpaid, either because of the amount of
account. money standing to the credit of that account is insufficient to honor the
cheque or that it exceeds the amount arranged to be paid from that account
by an agreement made with that bank, such person shall be deemed to have
committed an offence and shall, without prejudice to any other provision of
this Act, be punished with imprisonment for a term which may be extended
up to two years, or with fine which may extend up to twice the amount of the
cheque, or with both.
The Provisions of the Article is also applicable in bouncing of cheques due to
stop payment Instructions.

All Banking transactions are therefore, separate contracts and the knowledge of Indian Contract Act is
essential for each Banker.
By varying the bank rate, the RBI can to a certain extent regulate the commercial bank credit and the
general credit situation of the country. The impact of this tool has not been very great because of the
fact that the RBI does not have a mechanism to control the unorganized sector. Further the money
market in our financial system is not fully developed, so that the Bank rate policy will have if desired
impact on the financial system. The present bank rate is 7.75%
Inspection of Banks:
The most significant supervisory function exercised by the RBI is the inspection of Banks. The RBI‘s
powers to conduct inspections are contained in various provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, the
most important being Section 35. This apart, inspections may be necessary under the provisions of
Section 23, 37, 38, 44, 44A, 44B and 45 of the Act.
Section 10(1) of the Banking Companies [Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings] Act, 1970 / 1980
provides for audit of annual accounts of banks in the case of nationalized banks.
Some of the important provisions of the Act affecting day-to-day transactions at branches are
discussed hereunder. The amendments made operative by the Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 1981 have
also been incorporated herein.
Section 21: Where the Reserve Bank of India is satisfied that it is necessary or expedient in the public
interest or in the interest of depositors or banking policy so to do, it may determine the policy in
relation to advances to be followed by banking companies generally or by any banking company in
particular and when the policy has been so determined, all banking companies or the banking company
Baroda Academy 20 Inventing methods for inventing minds
concerned, as the case may be shall be bound to follow the policy as so determined.
Without prejudice to the generality of the power vested in Reserve Bank of India under sub-section (1),
the Reserve Bank of India may give directions to banking companies either generally or to any banking
company or group of banking companies in particular as to: -
Every banking company shall be bound to comply with any directions given to it under this section.
NOTES: By Banking Laws (Amendment) Act, 1983, a new section 21 A has been added in the Banking
Regulation Act, 1949. This section provides protection to banks in respect of rates of interest charged
to the borrowers' accounts and prohibits any court from reopening the loan transaction on the pretext
that the rate of interest charged is on the higher side. Reliance on this specific provision will help banks
to ward off defences taken by debtors before courts that the rates of interest charged by banks
offend provisions of Usurious Loans Act, 1918 or other similar Acts applicable to a particular
state/states.
However, when a suit is filed before the court, the transaction between the bank and its debtor comes
to an end in as much as the loan or advance is recalled. Hence, from and after the date of filing of suit, a
court is empowered under the provisions of Sec.34 of Civil Procedure Code to order that interest at
such rate as the court deems reasonable should be paid on the principal sum adjudged from the date of
the suit to the date of the decree with further interest at such rate, not exceeding six percent per
annum, as the court deems reasonable on such principal sum from the date of the decree to the date of
payment or to such earlier date as the court thinks fit, provided that where the liability in relation to
the sum so adjudged had arisen out of a commercial transaction, the rate of such interest to be
awarded by the court may exceed six percent per annum but shall not exceed the contractual rate at
which moneys are lent or advanced by nationalised banks in relation to commercial transactions.

Charging of securities means making it available as a cover for an advance. This means the bank's right
over the security is ensured by legal procedures. Selection of security should be appropriate depending
upon the type of credit facility, type of borrower and purpose. Once the appropriate security is selected
bank's charge on the security should be ensured by observing necessary formalities, so that in case of
default by a borrower, the security will be available to the bank to recover its dues.
The important six methods of charging of securities are given below with brief explanation.
Pledge:
Section 172 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 defines 'Pledge' as 'the bailment of goods as security for
payment of debt or performance of a promise is called 'pledge'. The bailor is, in this case, called the
'pledger' and the bailee is called the 'pledgee'.
Above definition reveals that: Pledge means bailment of goods, Its purpose is to secure payment of a
debt or To secure performance of a promise. Any movable property can be pledged. Delivery (actual or
constructive) is necessary to complete a pledge. In case of Bank's advance against the pledge of goods,
customer is called the 'pledger' and the bank is called the 'pledgee'. Where pledged securities or goods
Hypothecation:
The term 'hypothecation' is described as "Charge against property for an amount of debt where neither
ownership nor possession is passed on to the creditor." Hypothecation is defined in none of the acts.
In case of pledge, the borrower's goods are placed in the bank's possession under its own locks whereas
in the case of hypothecation, goods remain in the possession of the borrower.
If the borrower fails to liquidate the advance granted to him against hypothecated goods, under
agreement, he has to give the possession of the goods to hypothecatee (bank). At this stage,
hypothecation converts into pledge and the banker as hypothecatee enjoys the powers and rights of a
pledgee.
Mortgage:
It is the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the purpose of securing the payment
of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt or the performance of
the agreement which may lead to a pecuniary liability. The borrower is called the 'mortgagor' and the
lender the 'mortgagee'.
Forms of mortgage: As per Sec. 58 of the Transfer of Property Act, there are six types of mortgages:
(1)Simple mortgage
(2) Mortgage by conditional sale
(3) Usufructuary mortgage
(4) English mortgage
(5)Anomalous mortgage
(6) Mortgage by deposit of title deeds/ equitable mortgage
Generally only two types of the mortgage are preferable by the banks
(1) Simple Mortgage and (2) Equitable mortgage
Simple Mortgage; according to section 58 (b) of the Transfer of Property Act, a simple mortgage is a
transaction whereby without delivering the possession of the mortgaged property, the mortgagor binds
himself personally to pay the mortgage money and agrees, expressly or impliedly, that in case of default
the mortgagee shall have a right to cause the mortgage property to be sold by a decree of the court.
Section 130 describes the manner in which actionable claims can be transferred, as follows:
The transfer of an actionable claim, whether with or without consideration, shall be effected only by the
execution of an instrument in writing signed by the transfer or his duly authorised agent, shall be
complete and effectual upon the execution of such instrument, and thereupon all the rights and
remedies of the transfer, whether by way of damages or otherwise shall vest in the transferee, whether
such notice of the transfer is hereinafter provided be given or not.
Lien:
Lien is the right of a creditor to retain in his possession the goods and securities owned by the debtor
until the debt has been discharged, but has no right to sell the goods and securities so retained. Lien is
of two types, particular and general.
Banker's right of lien: Banker has a right of general lien against his borrowers. Section 171 of the
Indian Contract Act, 1872 confers the right of general lien on the bankers as "Banker .... may, in the
absence of a contract to the contrary, retain as a security for a general balance of account, any goods
bailed to them."
There are certain unique features about bank's right of general lien, these are:
Right of sale is also available under bank's right of lien. Therefore, it is said that banker's lien
tantamount to an implied pledge.
The banker's right of lien is not barred by law of limitation. The Limitation Act only bars the remedy
and does not discharge debt. As such, banker has a right of lien against time barred debt also. When
banker exercises this right, property of goods remains with owner even though the same is in possession
with the bank.
Right of set-off:
Banker has right of set-off between two or more accounts maintained by a customer, if one of them is in
debit and their relationship in both the accounts is of debtor and creditor.
The right of set-off is a statutory right which enables bank to combine several accounts of a customer
in his own right unless there is any agreement expressed or implied to the contrary. Before exercising
the right of set-off a reasonable notice should be given to a customer to avoid dishonoring of cheques
drawn by the customer being unaware of the situation. Though the right of set-off is available to a
banker as his legal right banks take letter of set-off from customer. It helps the bank to overcome
future legal complications and it dispenses with the need for notice.

Credit facilities extended by bank can be classified into two categories viz. fund based and non-fund
based. However, there are certain types of advances which do not involve deployment of funds at least
at the initial stage though in contingencies funds are also involved. These are called non-fund based
advances.
BANK FACILITY
PRE-SHIPMENT POST-SHIPMENT
CREDIT CREDIT
Fund Based Facilities: When bank places certain funds at the disposal of borrowers and borrowers avail
these funds, such types of credit facilities are known as fund based.
LOAN
The loan is disbursed by way of single debit/stage-wise debits (wherever sanction so accorded) to the
account. The amount may be allowed to be repaid in lump sum or in suitable installments, as per terms of
sanction. Loan is categorized Demand Loan if the repayment period of the loan is less than three years,
in case the repayment of the loan is three years and above the loan be considered as Term Loan.
OVERDRAFT
When a customer is maintaining a current account, a facility is allowed by the bank to draw more than
the credit balance in the account; such facility is called an 'overdraft' facility. At the request and
requirement of customers temporary overdrafts are also allowed. However, against certain securities,
regular overdraft limits are sanctioned.
All rules applicable to current account are applicable to overdraft accounts mutatis mutandis.
Overdraft is a running account and hence debits and credits are freely allowed.
Interest is applied on daily product basis and debited to the account on monthly basis. In case of
temporary overdraft, interest should be applied as and when temporary overdraft is adjusted or at the
end of the month, whichever is earlier.
Overdrafts are generally granted against the security of government securities, shares & debentures,
National Savings Certificates, LIC policies and bank's own deposits etc. and also on unsecured basis.
CASH CREDIT
A cash-credit is an arrangement to extend short term working capital facility under which the bank
establishes a credit limit and allows the customers to borrow money upto a certain limit. Under the
system, bank sanctions a limit called the cash-credit limit to each borrower upto which he is allowed to
borrow against the security of stipulated tangible assets i.e. stocks, book debts etc.
The customer need not draw at once the whole of the credit limit sanctioned but can withdraw from his
cash-credit account as and when he needs the funds and deposit the surplus cash/funds proceeds of sale
etc., into the account. Besides this, the facility of frequent and unrestricted transactions is available.
NON-FUND BASED FACILITIES
The credit facilities given by the banks where actual bank funds are not involved are termed as
'non-fund based facilities'. These facilities are divided in three broad categories as under:
Letters of credit
Guarantees
Units for the above facilities are also simultaneously sanctioned by banks while sanctioning other fund
based credit limits.
Types of Guarantees:
Though as per law Bank guarantees have not been classified, by the nature of the underlying contract
entered into by the customer, in practice such classification has been made. There are various types of
guarantees the important ones which a banker would be regularly required to issue are as follows: -
Financial Guarantee
Performance Guarantee
Deferred Payment Guarantee
Financial guarantees:
In case of financial guarantees, the bank guarantees the customer's financial worth, credit worthiness
and his capacity to take up financial risks. Therefore, guarantees issued in respect of constituents
liability, such as guarantees favouring tax/ customs/excise/court authorities in respect of disputed
claims, payment of taxes, customs and excise etc. will come under the classification of financial
Performance guarantees :
Performance guarantees are issued on behalf of constituents guaranteeing their performance as per the
contracts entered into, performance of machineries supplied, due discharge of other contractual
obligations undertaken etc. In such guarantees, Bank does not undertake to perform the obligations
undertaken by the customer under the contract, in the event of his failure/default as they may be of a
highly technical nature.
Guarantees covering security deposit/earnest money/bid bond /advance payment/ mobilisation advance
etc. would come under this category. Similarly, guarantees covering payment for supplies to be lifted by
parties will also be treated as performance guarantees.
Deferred payment guarantee, which is a financial guarantee, is a way of raising long term resources for
acquiring fixed assets/capital goods by securing guarantee of repayment of principal and interest from
his banker to the supplier of capital goods for supplier‘s credit. This also helps the supplier to improve
his cash flow by discounting these bills from his bankers.
LETTER OF CREDIT
Letter of Credit is, a method of settlement of payment of a trade transaction and is widely used to
finance purchase of machinery and raw material etc. It contains a written undertaking given by the bank
on behalf of the purchaser to the seller to make payment of a stated amount on presentation of
stipulated documents and fulfilment of all the terms and conditions incorporated therein. All Letters of
Credit in India relating to the foreign trade i.e., export and import letters of credit are subject to
provisions of 'Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits' (UCPDC).
Confirmed Where credits carry the confirmation of the advising bank. It constitutes a
definite undertaking of such confirming bank in addition to that of the
opening bank.
Revolving Which provide that the amount of drawings made there under would be
reinstated and made available to the beneficiary again and again for further
drawings during the currency of credit, upto a certain sum subject to certain
conditions specified therein.
Back to Back Many suppliers accept orders to supply/export goods from different
importers. In their turn, procure the goods from different manufactures. The
supplier may have letter of credits established in their favour are not
transferable or issued in different currency. In such cases these supplier
which act as middlemen between actual suppliers and importers, may request
their banks to issue LCs already established in favour of former. These LCs
are known as back to back letter of credit.

Baroda Education Loan to students of Premier Institutions (Under Baroda Gyan Scheme)
Baroda Education Loan Scheme is aimed to provide financial support to the meritorious student for
pursuing higher education in technical and professional courses. Quality of education and better
Baroda Academy 104 Inventing methods for inventing minds
placement records creates intense competition amongst students to secure admission in premier
educational institutes. The current rate of economic
growth of the country demands technically and professionally trained man power in large numbers which
will spur the demand for Education Loans.
Recently Education in the premier institutions like IIMs, IITs, IIFT,AIIMS, AFMC, ISB etc has become
much more costly. Qualifying for these institutions means a lot to students but funding a student for
these institutions also need ample financial capability. Many a times a student is unable to pursue a
course in these premier institutions because of lack of financial capability despite being an eligible
candidate.
In order to facilitate students who aspire for higher education in these prestigious and expensive
institutions, based on feedback received from operating units and information gathered about features
of other Bank‘s products, Bank launched a new Education Loan Scheme on 26.04.2014 namely ―Baroda

As per Book of Instruction Valuation of immovable property mortgaged to the bank should be done once
in every three years. Subsequent valuation should not be entrusted to the same consultant / valuer who
had valued it earlier. In compliance to extant guidelines, the branches obtain fresh valuation of the
immovable properties charged to the bank under Retail Loans also once in 3 years irrespective of
classification of the accounts.
Normally value of immovable property appreciates with the passage of time while our exposure gradually
declines due to regular repayment in case of standard Retail Accounts. The customers who are regularly
repaying their EMIs and their accounts are classified in standard category as per prudential norms of
RBI, object to fresh valuation and the charges payable by them.
Considering above aspects, existing guidelines of valuation of immovable properties charged to the Bank
in Retail Loans have been reviewed and decided as under:
1. Waive the condition of valuation of the properties once in three years, if relative retail
account is regular and classified as standard.
2. Advances granted for professional / business needs i.e. under our Baroda Traders Loan, Baroda
Loan to Doctors, Baroda Professional Loan products, will be out of purview of modified guidelines.
Valuation of the property charged to the Bank for loans / overdrafts taken under these products need
to be got done once in 3 years as hitherto.
3. Wherever, advances are granted in the form of overdraft facility under any retail product,
valuation of the property mortgaged to the bank need to obtain once in every three years.
4. In conformity to bank‘s extent guidelines, valuation in NPA a/cs will be got done once in 3 years.
5. If any increase in existing exposure / additional limit / facility is considered by extending the
charge over the property, fresh valuation will be taken hitherto, before taking additional exposure.
6. The branches will carry out periodical inspection as per extant guidelines. If any adverse
developments are noticed during the inspection of the property, valuation of the property is to be got
done as usual.
The modification as above in guidelines for valuation of properties mortgaged to the Bank in Retail Loans
will result in reducing the financial burden of the customers and also workload of branches.

Awareness creation by the branches to their users through various methods.
Provision of ―Virtual Keyboard‖ for entering Sign-on password.

Sending SMS about transactions, on registered mobile phone to facilitate the users for early access
of genuineness of transactions.
Daily / Weekly ceiling on transaction amount so that any unauthorized person cannot make big
damage to our users at once and subsequently, genuineness of transaction can be established by the

There are -3- menus in Finacle to open an account viz. OACC, HOPNACCT and SAO. Of these options,
branches are using predominantly HOPNACCT and SAO menu. To encourage and register all new
customers for mobile banking these menus have now been updated with following changes –
1. HOPNACCT Menu: In ‗Mobile Banking‘ field, default option in drop down menu is set as ‗YES‘ i.e.
customer will be provided mobile banking service.
2. SAO Menu: In ‗Mobile Banking‘ field (presently shown as ‗Mobile Subscription‘), default flag is set
as ‗YES‘, where customer would be automatically enrolled for M Connect.
3. OACC Menu: Provision is being made to prompt the verifying officer to enable customers for M-
Connect.
In our account opening form, there is an option for the customer to choose for mobile banking
services. Branches are advised to inform the customer about advantages of mobile banking and
encourage all new customers to tick the option for Baroda M-Connect.
In case customer does not want to register for the service, then the branch is to select ‗NO‘ option
for mobile banking while opening account in Finacle using any of three menus.
If the registration is already completed through branch and at a later date, customer wants to de-
register the mobile banking services, then the branch can de-register the customer through HDCR
menu.
To gear up the registrations under M-connect, bank has made 2 improvements in the current M-
Connect registration process viz., ‗instant registration / de registration / mPIN generation in Finacle'
and 'interoperability between all M-Connect registration channels (Branch-ATM-Net Banking)'
Instant registration
Like ATM and Net Banking, Branch channel is also live, where there is no need to wait for 24 hrs to
register / de register / generate mPIN through Finacle menus. M-Connect for newly opened accounts:-
Mobile banking registration option will appear automatically on HOPNACCT, OAAC and SAO menus
which are used to open a new account
Default option for Mobile Banking registration will be ‗YES‘ in these menus
When the account is opened, customer is also registered for Mobile banking and the password
Baroda Academy 195 Inventing methods for inventing minds
(mPIN) is generated at the same time (instantly)
With this, new customers can be on boarded instantly and can also be activated. Main advantage of this
implementation is, as mPIN will be delivered instantly, customers can be provided handholding by branch
staff to activate the mobile banking in branch itself. M-Connect for existing accounts:-
FINACLE menu for Mobile banking is HDCR
Now, with automation of the menu, Mobile banking registration / de registration / mPIN
generation will be effective immediately, within no time
As soon as the checker verifies the registration / de registration / mPIN generation request,
customer will receive the corresponding message / mPIN immediately.
Now there is no waiting period of 24 hrs
Branch can now regenerate mPIN of any customer who walks in with a problem regarding his / her
mPIN, and the problem can be resolved without any waiting time.
Interoperability
There are 3 modes of M Connect registration, viz., ATM, Branch and Net banking. Now all these 3
channels are interoperable and mPIN generation / de registration can be done through any of the three
channels irrespective of the channel of registration.

Biometric cards authorize transactions based on the customers‘ biological attributes. It could range
from fingerprints to voice to iris of the eyes. It is especially useful for those who are illiterate or not
familiar with the language used by the ATM to conduct transactions. For example, in case of a
fingerprint; a fingerprint does the job of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) which is a unique
number that each customer has to punch in the ATM to conduct any transaction. Instead of typing
The biometric ATM card typically contains a smart chip, which carries biometric information, personal
details as well as the photograph of the account holder. Biometric ATM works on identification of
finger prints supported by voice prompting in local language. The key features of biometric ATM are –
use of finger impression in place of PIN, voice output for people who cannot read, colour codes
available for different amounts, fixed amount facility, no keyboard etc.
Our bank‘s first biometric ATM was installed at Gandevi, Gujarat.
A working group under the chairmanship of Shri D Burman had recommended the concept of Cheque
truncation to replace the physical movement of cheque by the image of the cheque. Truncation is the
process of stopping the flow of the physical chequeissued by a drawer to the drawee branch. The
physical instrument will be truncated at some point en-route to the drawee branch and an electronic
image of the cheque would be sent to the drawee branch along with the relevant information like the
MICR fields, date of presentation, presenting banks etc. Thus with the implementation of cheque
truncation, the need to move the physical instruments across branches would not be required, except
in exceptional circumstances. This would effectively reduce the time required for payment of
cheques, the associated cost of transit and delay in processing, etc., thus speeding up the process of
collection or realization of the cheques.

MICR
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition technology is very popular world wide and in this system, the
instrument such as cheque, draft, pay order, gift cheque, traveler cheque etc. can be read directly
without the need for transcribing the data on punch cards or paper tapes.
The information is printed on the instrument with special ink, which is made up of magnetic material. On
insertion of instrument in the machine, the printed information is magnetized and read by the machine.
The MICR system is beneficial as the chances of error are minimized, transfer of funds becomes
faster, clearing becomes easy and burden of manual work is reduced.

1) Better Capital Quality: One of the key elements of Basel 3 is the introduction of much
stricter definition of capital. Better quality capital means the higher loss-absorbing
capacity. This in turn will mean that banks will be stronger, allowing them to better
withstand periods of stress.
2) Capital Conservation Buffer: Another key feature of Basel iii is that now banks will be
required to hold a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. The aim of asking to build
Baroda Academy 263 Inventing methods for inventing minds
conservation buffer is to ensure that banks maintain a cushion of capital that can be used to
absorb losses during periods of financial and economic stress.
3) Countercyclical Buffer: This is also one of the key elements of Basel III. The
countercyclical buffer has been introduced with the objective to increase capital
requirements in good times and decrease the same in bad times. The buffer will slow
banking activity when it overheats and will encourage lending when times are tough i.e. in bad
times. The buffer will range from 0% to 2.5%, consisting of common equity or other fully
loss-absorbing capital.
4) Minimum Common Equity and Tier 1 Capital Requirements: The minimum requirement for
common equity, the highest form of loss-absorbing capital, has been raised under Basel III
from 2% to 4.5% of total risk-weighted assets. The overall Tier 1 capital requirement,
consisting of not only common equity but also other qualifying financial instruments, will also
increase from the current minimum of 4% to 6%. Although the minimum total capital
requirement will remain at the current 8% level, yet the required total capital will increase
to 10.5% when combined with the conservation buffer.
5) Leverage Ratio: A review of the financial crisis of 2008 has indicted that the value of many
assets fell quicker than assumed from historical experience. Thus, now Basel III rules
include a leverage ratio to serve as a safety net. A leverage ratio is the relative amount of
capital to total assets (not risk-weighted). This aims to put a cap on swelling of leverage in
the banking sector on a global basis. 3% leverage ratio of Tier 1 will be tested before a
mandatory leverage ratio is introduced in January 2018.
6) Liquidity Ratios: Under Basel III, a framework for liquidity risk management will be
created. A new Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) are to
be introduced in 2015 and 2018, respectively.
7) Systemically Important Financial Institutions (SIFI) : As part of the macro-prudential
framework, systemically important banks will be expected to have loss-absorbing capability
beyond the Basel III requirements. Options for implementation include capital surcharges,
contingent capital and bail-in-debt.
Criteria for determination of Base Rate: While each bank may decide its own base rate, some of
the criterio that could go in to determination of Base rate are
(i) Cost of Deposits
(ii) Adjustment for negative carry in respect of CRR & SLR.
(iii) Unallocatable overhead cost for banks such as agreegate employee compensation relating
to administrative functions in corporate office, director‘s and auditor‘s fee, legal and premises
expenses, depreciation, cost of printing and stationery, expenses incurred on communication and
advertising, IT spending and cost incurred towards deposit insurance and
(iv) Profit margin
Since the Base rate will be the minimum rate for all commercial loans, banks are not permitted
to resort to any lending below the Base rate except some special categories like –
(i) Short Term agricultural loans.
(ii) Export credit, where interest concessions are granted by GOI
(iii) Loans granted to a corporate, post restructuring.
(iv) Loans under DRI scheme.
(v) Advance against Bank‘s own term deposit receipts.
(vi) Loan granted to Bank‘s own employees.

CURRENT AFFAIRS :
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Micro Units Development and Refinance
Agency Ltd (MUDRA) Bank on 8 April, 2015 with a corpus of Rs 20,000 crore and a credit
guarantee corpus of Rs 3,000 crore.
MUDRA Bank has rightly classified the borrowers into three segments: the starters, the mid-
stage finance seekers and the next level growth seekers.
To address the three segments, MUDRA Bank has launched three loan instruments:
1. Shishu: covers loans upto Rs 50,000/-
2. Kishor: covers loans above Rs 50,000/- and upto Rs 5 lakh
3. Tarun: covers loans above Rs 5 lakh and upto Rs 10 lakh
Initially, sector-specific schemes will be confined to ―Land Transport, Community, Social &
Personal Services, Food Product and Textile Product sectors‖. Over a period of time, new
schemes will be launched to encompass more sectors.
Baroda Academy 273 Inventing methods for inventing minds
The BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - agreed to set up the $100
billion development bank last July, in a step toward reshaping the Western-dominated
international financial system.
India has named private banker K.V. Kamath as the first head of a new development bank being
set up by the BRICS group of emerging market economies.
It was agreed that the New Development Bank, which will fund infrastructure projects in
developing nations, would be based in Shanghai. It would be headed by an Indian for a first five-
year term, followed by a Brazilian and then a Russian.
Kamath, 67, is a veteran banker who was credited with developing ICICI Bank into India's
second-largest lender. He headed the bank for 13 years until 2009 and is now its non-executive
chairman.
India‟s credit rating outlook was raised to positive by Moody‘s Investors Service and Fitch
Ratings boosted its growth forecast, signaling optimism that policy makers can improve Asia‘s
No. 3 economy. ―The Baa3 rating incorporates the risk that higher levels of growth and
infrastructure development will be accompanied by higher leverage,‖
The country‘s Baa3 rating was affirmed and the outlook was revised from stable.
Fitch affirmed India‘s BBB- rating with a stable outlook. Both companies rate India at the
lowest investment grade, on par with Indonesia and Turkey.
New sectors like renewable energy and social infrastructure will get a boost as these are now
classified as priority sector. Any bank that lends up to Rs 10 lakh to a household for solar power
and biomass-based generators can classify the loan as priority sector.
Earlier, there were sub-limits for direct lending and indirect lending to agriculture. These two
segments have been merged making it easier for banks to achieve the 18% agri target as large
Baroda Academy 274 Inventing methods for inventing minds
loans to processed food industry are also now covered under agriculture. The challenge for
banks lies in disbursing 8% of their total credit to small farmers and 7.5% of bank credit to
micro enterprises.
Banks can also lend up to Rs 5 crore per borrower for building social infrastructure such as
schools, healthcare facilities, drinking water facilities and sanitation facilities in tier II to tier
VI centres. Home loans up to Rs 28 lakh in metros and Rs 20 lakh in other centers will form part
of the directed lending as long as the cost of the property is not more than Rs 35 lakh and Rs
25 lakh, respectively.
Large-ticket education loans are also expected to receive a boost. Under the new norms loans,
up to Rs 10 lakh, including vocational courses, irrespective of the sanctioned amount, will be
reckoned as part of priority sector lending.

Baroda Academy 294 Inventing methods for inventing minds
farmers who are cultivating crops for a period not less than five years in order to meet the production
credit needs are also eligible.
However the individual tenant farmers / share croppers cultivating land on oral lease basis who are
resident of the village at least for a period of three years continuously and cultivating lands and raising
crops for a reasonably long period but not less than three years could also be issued BKCC with a farm
credit limit up to Rs. 10000/- in general and in exceptional cases not exceeding Rs. 25000/-
Type of Facility:
Production Line of Credit in the nature of revolving Cash Credit and would provide for any
number of withdrawals and repayments within the limit.
Investment Line of Credit: Demand/ Term Loan
Assessment of Loan:
At present the crop loan component which is the production credit under BKCC is given as a Cash Credit
facility for a period of 5 years, which is subject to review every year. The limit available is computed on
the basis of total land holding of the farmer, cropping pattern adopted by him during a particular season
and approved scale of finance for the crops grown. Thus the limit available changes whenever there is a
change in any of the components mentioned above. It is observed that the farmers and branches are
generally averse to increase the limit due to the workload / cost involved in execution of fresh
documentation, preparation of fresh proposals etc. This is found to ultimately adversely affect the
increased off take and there by the growth in outstanding level of crop loans. This also ends up in
providing inadequate crop loan finance to farmers.
To overcome this problem, it has been decided to provide the facility of the Line of Credit / Notional
limit wherein the farmer‘s actual requirement worked out on the basis of cropping pattern and land area,
can be increased by maximum 50% at the time of sanction of the facility. Though this limit will be valid
for a 5 year period, the drawing power/eligible limit for each year shall be based on the area of
cultivation and scale of finance for the proposed cropping pattern for that year. This is also expected to
encourage the farmer to undertake improved cultivation practices and bring more farmers into our fold
due to the inbuilt advantage of hassle-free facility of enhancement of the limits.

Agriculture Marketting Infrastructure (AMI) Scheme
Govt. of India has now introduced Agri Marketing Infrastructure (AMI) scheme by merging the
erstwhile Grameen Bhandaran Yojana (GBY) and Scheme for Development / Strengthening of
Agricultural Marketing Infrastructure, Grading and Standardization (AMIGS).
The AMI Scheme envisages back-ended capital subsidy for credit linked
investment in eligible storage and marketing infrastructure projects. The eligible
subsidy is 25% or 33.33% of the capital cost depending upon the area and
category of beneficiary

Micro-credits are small loans offered to poor people to finance small income-generating activities.
Generally, these people have no access to normal banking services.
Micro-finance is the provision of financial support (not only micro-loans, but also micro- insurance,
savings and guarantees) - to these people.
Micro-finance institutions have experienced a backlash in recent years, not only because of the economic
crisis. There are people who feel MFIs have transformed over the years into larger financial institutions
and have lost sight of their social mission. High interest rates, in particular, have also come under fire.
Definition
The Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are voluntary homogeneous association of poor people formed to attain a
collective goal. People who are homogeneous with respect to social background, heritage, caste or
traditional occupations come together for a common cause to raise and manage resources for the benefit
of group members. The size of the group ideally should be between 10 and 20 if there is more than 20
members then it will attract registration process.
The purpose of the loan should be left to the common wisdom of the group. It is advisable that the
group prepares a credit plan for its members and an aggregate of that is submitted to the bank.
Rate of interest will be applicable as prescribed by the bank from time to time. The SHG would be free
to prescribe appropriate repayment period and terms for loans to members as determined by the group.
NABARD provides 100% refinance on loan granted to SHG
What are the Books maintained by SHGs ?
1. Register of Members.
2. Minutes Book - containing rules & regulations also.
3. Saving and loan Register.
4. Savings and loan passbooks.
5. Cash book
6. Income and expenditure register.
Baroda Academy 308 Inventing methods for inventing minds
Major functions of SHGs :
1. Savings and Thrift:- "Savings first - Credit later" should be the motto of SHGs.
2. Internal lending :- The purpose, amount, rate of interest, schedule of repayment etc. are decided by
the group it self. If demand is more than the funds available, the group decides whether to give loan
to a particular member and how much to give.
3. Discussing Problem :- The members, during meetings discuss their problems and try to find solutions
for the same.
Resolution from the SHG: The SHG has to pass a resolution in the group meeting, signed by all
members, indicating their decision to open SB A/c with the bank branch. This resolution should be filed
with the bank.
Copy of the rules and regulations of the SHG: This is not a must. If the group has not formulated any
such rules or regulations, loans can be sanctioned without them. A savings bank account passbook may be
issued to the SHG. This should be in the name of the SHG and not in the name of any individual/s. The
title of SB a/c of SHG can be any name decided by the group members, not necessary to have word of
Village / Mohalla etc.
Sometimes, it is being seen that resolution of SHG itself contains a para to open the SB a/c of the SHG
in a particular bank branch, then separate resolution in this regard need not required.
Authorisation from the SHG (Operating Instructions): The SHG should authorise at least three
members, any two of whom, to jointly operate upon their account.
S.B. A/c application form duly filled-in: The resolution along with the filled-in application form duly
introduced by the promoter / facilitator may be filed with the bank branch.
KYC norms: The members who are authorized to operate the SB a/c should provide photo Identity proof
as per KYC norms
Loan may be granted by the SHG for various purposes to its members. The bank does not decide the
purposes for which the SHG gives loans to its members. The purpose can be emergency needs like illness
in the family, marriage, etc. or buying of assets for income generation acquisition of assets. The group
will discuss and decide about the purpose for which loans are to be given to its individual members by
the SHG.
Transaction costs are reduced: Since, for 10-20 member groups, only one SB A/c is required, so it
reduces operating cost drastically.
Increase in the deposit base: Though the amounts are very small in SHG a/c, it pays to have such
small savings with us but at the same time we should also think that those amounts remain with us at
very cheaper interest rate.
Very little cost for appraisal and monitoring of the loan: Social control or, peer pressure of group
members on the borrowing member is an effective means of control over both proper utilisation and
repayment of loan amount. Hence, bank needs less monitoring as far as SHG loan a/c is concerned.
Increase in the social base in rural area: Through banking with the SHGs, branches get social
recognition and command goodwill & trust of people. This will also help in developing the business with
the development of the area / village.
Opportunity of cross-selling: Due to improvement in the living standard of the group over a period of
time, bank gets the opportunity of cross-selling of its products.

improving the recovery climate for rural lending and creating better awareness about loan and deposit
products with the ultimate aim of building a Rural Credit Portfolio on a sound scale.Farmers‘ Club are
intended to basically propagate the following five principles of ―Development through Credit‖.
a. Credit must be used in accordance with the most suitable methods of science and technology.
Baroda Academy 317 Inventing methods for inventing minds
b. The terms and conditions of credit must be fully respected.
c. Work must be done with skill so as to increase production and productivity.

NRLM will identify the target group of poor through a ‗participatory identification of the poor‘
process instead of using the BPL list as was done in SGSY. This will ensure that the voiceless, poorest
of poor are not ignored. In fact under NRLM, the first preference is given to the poorest of poor
households.
Unlike SGSY, the NRLM has taken a saturation approach and will ensure all the poor in a village are
covered and a woman from each poor family is motivated to join the SHG.
SHG Federations: All SHGs in a village come together to form a federation at the village level. The
village federation is a very important support structure for the members and their SHGs. The
cluster federation is the next level of federation. A cluster consists of a group of villages within a
block. The exact configuration will vary from State to State, but typically a cluster consists of 25 -
40 villages. The Village federations and the Cluster federations are the two critical support structures
for the SHG s and their members in their long journey out of poverty.
NRLM will provide continuous hand-holding support to SHGs, and their federations. This was
missing in SGSY. Under NRLM this support will be provided to a great extent by capacitating the
SHG federations and by building a cadre of community professionals from among the poor
women. The federations and the community professionals will be imparted the necessary skills by the
mission.
The objective of NRLM is to ensure that SHG s are enabled to access repeat finance from Banks, till
they attain sustainable livelihoods and decent living standards. This was missing in SGSY, where
the emphasis was on one time support.
Women SHGs under NRLM consist of 10-15 persons. In case of special SHGs i.e. groups in the difficult
areas, groups with disabled persons, and groups formed in remote tribal areas, this number may be a
minimum of 5 persons.
NRLM will promote affinity based women Self –help groups. Only for groups to be formed with
Persons with disabilities, and other special categories like elders, transgenders, NRLM will have
both men and women in the self-help groups.
SHG is an informal group and registration under any Societies Act, State cooperative Act or a
partnership firm is not mandatory vide Circular RPCD. No. Plan
BC.13/PL-09.22/90-91 dated July 24th, 1991. However Federations of SHGs formed at village level,
cluster level, and at higher levels are to be registered under appropriate acts prevailing in their
States.
Financial Assistance to the SHGs
Revolving Fund (RF): NRLM would provide a Revolving Fund (RF) support to SHGs in existence
for a minimum period of 3/6 months and follow the norms of good SHGs, i.e they follow ‗Panchasutra‘
– regular meetings, regular savings, regular internal lending, regular recoveries and maintenance of
proper books of accounts.
Baroda Academy 322 Inventing methods for inventing minds
Only such SHGs that have not received any RF earlier will be provided with RF, as corpus, with a
minimum of Rs. 10,000 and up to a maximum of Rs. 15,000 per SHG.
The purpose of RF is to strengthen their institutional and financial management capacity and build
a good credit history within the group.
5. Capital Subsidy has been discontinued under NRLM:
No Capital Subsidy will be sanctioned to any SHG from the date of implementation of NRLM.
6. Community Investment support Fund (CIF)
CIF will be provided to the SHGs in the intensive blocks, routed through the Village level/ Cluster level
Federations, to be maintained in perpetuity by the Federations. The CIF will be used, by the
Federations, to advance loans to the SHGs and/or to undertake the common/collective socio-economic
activities.
i. In 150 identified districts, banks will lend to all the women SHGs @7% upto an aggregated loan
amount of Rs 3,00,000/- . The SHGs will also get additional interest subvention of 3% on prompt
payment, reducing the effective rate of interest to 4%.
ii. In the remaining districts also, NRLM compliant women SHGs will be registered with SRLMs.
These SHGs are eligible for interest subvention to the extent of difference between the lending rates
and 7% for the loan upto Rs. 3 lakhs, subjected to the norms prescribed by the respective SRLMs. This
part of the scheme will be operationalized by SRLMs.
Role of banks –
Opening of Savings accounts: The role of banks would commence with opening of accounts for
all the Women SHGs, SHGs with members of Disability and the Federations of the SHGs. The ‗Know
Your Customer‘ (KYC) norms as specified
from time to time by Reserve Bank of India are applicable for identification of the customers.
Lending Norms:
the eligibility criteria for the SHGs to avail loans
• SHG should be in active existence at least since the last 6 months as per the books of account of
SHGs and not from the date of opening of S/B account.
• SHG should be practicing ‗Panchasutras‘ i.e. Regular meetings; Regular savings; Regular inter-
loaning; Timely repayment; and Up-to date books of accounts.
• Qualified as per grading norms fixed by NABARD. As and when the Federations of the SHGs
come to existence, the grading exercise can be done by the Federations to support the Banks.
• The existing defunct SHGs are also eligible for credit if they are revived
and continue to be active for a minimum period of 3 months.
Baroda Academy 323 Inventing methods for inventing minds
. Loan amount: Emphasis is laid on the multiple doses of assistance under NRLM. The amount
of various doses of credit should be as follows:
• First dose: 4-8 times to the proposed corpus during the year or Rs. 50,000 whichever is higher.
• Second dose: 5-10 times of existing corpus and proposed saving during the next twelve months
or Rs. 1 lakhs, whichever is higher.
• Third dose: Minimum of Rs. 2 lakhs, based on the Micro credit plan prepared by the SHGs and
appraised by the Federations/Support agency and the previous credit history
• Fourth dose onwards: Loan amount can be between Rs. 5-10 lakhs for fourth dose and/or higher in
subsequent doses. The loan amount will be based on the Micro Credit Plans of the SHGs and their
members.
Branches should accept the applications of PMEGP from implementing agencies viz. KVIC, KVIB
and DICs only if they are received through e-tracking system.Margin money subsidy will not be
released by Ministry of MSME in cases which are not entered in the e-tracking system. It has
now been decided by KVIC that to ensure 100% compliance of e-tracking system all the
implementing agencies i.e. KVIC, KVIB and DICs will forward the PMEGP applications to the banks
Baroda Academy 324 Inventing methods for inventing minds
only after entering the applications in the e-tracking system. No application will be forwarded to
financing bank branches unless it is entered in the e-tracking system.
PMEGP sanctions and disbursement online in KVIC‘s e-tracking system have become mandatory for
branches for all applications in 2013- 14 and onwards.
The guidelines issued on extending collateral free loans should also be followed for financing MSE
units under Prime Minister‘s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) Scheme and these
advances are eligible for cover under guarantee scheme of CGTMSE.
The scheme will be implemented through KVIC field offices and KVIBs in the rural areas of the country
and through DICs in both rural and urban areas.
(Ref. BCC: BR: 105/223 May 31, 2013)
Notes:
1. The maximum cost of the project/unit admissible under manufacturing sector is Rs. 25 lakh.
2. The maximum cost of the project/unit admissible under business/service sector is Rs. 10 lakh.
3. The balance amount of the total project cost i.e. net of beneficiary‘s contribution and amount of
subsidy will be provided by Banks as term loan.
Bank has to obtain an undertaking from the beneficiary before the release of bank finance that, in the
event of objection (recorded and communicated in writing) by KVIC/KVIB/State DIC, the beneficiary
will refund the Margin Money (subsidy) kept in the TDR or released to him after three years period.
During this period, no interest will be paid on the TDR and no interest will be charged on loan to the
corresponding amount of TDR.
DRI ADVANCES.

Insurance under PMJDY:
There are two types of Insurance coverage are available under Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna based on
RuPay Card are:
Rupay Debit Card holder under the age group of 18 to 70 years are covered under accidental insurance
scheme of Rs 1 lakh subject to card holder must process at least one “financial” or “non financial”
transaction within 45 days prior to date of unfortunate event. Now, from 25.11.2015, it has been
increased to 90 days.
Detail of non-financial transaction can be taken from Base 24 Team (TBD) through e-mail to
Base24India.dc@bankofbaroda.com
New company attached with NPCI for this insurance is New India Insurance Company, w.e.f., 01.04.2015.
Issuance of RuPay PMJDY Debit Card to Minors- A minor above the age of 10 years opening a Savings
Bank Account under Financial Inclusion Scheme in his own name with mode of operation ―Self‖ can be
issued a RuPay PMJDY Debit Card.
Financial Inclusion is supposed as the ‗Life-line of future banking both on the part of Top-line (Volume) &
Bottom-line(Profit) business. ―Financial Inclusion‖ became the most common terminology in the banking
industry & everybody either Government of India or Reserve Bank of India / Banks talk about the
importance and implementation of Financial Inclusion Project (FIP). Main reason to give more importance
to FIP is, if more than 50% of the Indian population will be financially included and each one of them
even contributes a single drop, it can create a big impetus for higher level/degree of economic growth of
the country as well as for banking industry, as huge amounts are scattered as petty cash in these
financially-excluded families. Even Management Guru, Mr. C.K.Prahlad also opined that growth and gold
are at the bottom of the pyramid. The BC Model of FIP has been adopted by our bank for
implementation of Financial Inclusion, in which BCs facilitate the financial transactions outside the bank
premises, preferably the places suit to villagers. Since, here we provide the banking facilities at their
door-step, we can very well call it as ―Alternate Delivery Channel (ADC)‖.
Generally, it is being perceived /considered by the bankers that Financial Inclusion is mainly a CSR
initiative but in reality, it is more an ADC, which is going to facilitate to the bankers in a big way, in days
to come as Govt. of India intends to go for all mass payments through banking channels only. These
transactions are generally of small ticket sizes but the operational cost for the bank is same. So, the
speedy & smooth implementation of FIP looks only way out for the banks and the bankers to keep the
things under control. We have adopted BC Model of FIP, which will be facilitated through mobile POS
Machine. Here, an attempt has been taken to compare our ATM Machine & POS Machine.
Branch banking means traditional Brick & Mortar branches. Branchless banking comprises of fixed point
Business Correspondents agents, who act as representative of Bank to provide basic banking services.
- The implementation strategy of the plan is to utilize the existing banking infrastructure as well as
expand the same to cover all households. While the existing banking network would be fully geared up to
open bank accounts of the uncovered households in both rural and urban areas, the banking sector would
also be expanding itself to set up an additional 50,000 Business correspondents (BCs), more than 7000
branches and more than 20000 new ATMs in the first phase .
- The plan, therefore, proposes to channel all Government benefits (from Centre/State/Local body) to
the beneficiaries to such accounts and pushing the Direct Benefits Transfer (DBT) scheme of the Union
Government including restarting the DBT in LPG scheme. MGNREGS sponsored by Ministry of Rural
Development (MoRD, GoI) is also likely to be included in Direct Benefit Transfer scheme.
- Keeping the stiff targets in mind, in the first phase, the plan would focus on first three pillars in the
first year starting from 15th August, 2014.
- The target for setting up additional 50,000 BCs is quite challenging given the constraints of telecom
connectivity.
- In order to achieve this plan, phase wise and State wise targets for Banks have been set up for Banks
for the period 15th August, 2014 to 14th August, 2015.
- In order to achieve a ―demand‖ side pull effect, it would be essential that there is Branding and
awareness of Business Correspondent model for providing basic banking services, Banking Products
available at BC outlets and RuPay Cards. A media plan for the same is being worked out in consultation
with banks.
- A Project Management Consultant/Group would be engaged to help the Department implement the plan.
- It is proposed to launch the programme simultaneously at National level in Delhi, at every State capital
and all district headquarters.
- A web-portal would be created for reporting/monitoring of progress.
- Roles of various stakeholders like other Departments of the Central Government, State Governments,
RBI, NABARD, NPCI and others have been indicated.
- Gram DakSewaks in rural areas are proposed as Business Correspondent of Banks.
- Department of Telecom has been requested to ensure that problems of poor and no connectivity are
resolved. They have informed that of the 5.93 lakh inhabited villages in the country (2011 census) only
about 50,000 villages are not covered with Telecom connectivity.

Baroda Traders Loan (BTL) is one of the key products of Retail Loan basket available against
the security of immovable property/ies, which caters to the financial needs of business entities
engaged in trading of permissible goods. The product provides hassle free advances for trading
activities and therefore has received good response from the traders as well as our operational
units. The credit limits are assessed on the basis of the accepted projected turn over and the
advance value of the property offered as security. We have launched new Credit Rating Model
for Traders Loans upto `200/- Lacs. Hence, Credit Rating for limits upto `200/- Lacs under
Baroda Traders Loan is to be done under the new Retail Rating Models (under BTL Model) which
is hosted on LAPS system. Facilities of limit more than `200/- Lacs shall continue to be rated in
BOBRAM. Bank has increased the ceiling on maximum limit to be sanctioned under Baroda
Traders Loan Scheme to `300/- Lacs for Rural/Semi-Urban Branches and `400/- Lacs for
Urban/Metro Branches w.e.f. 30.04.2013. Further, a new product ―Baroda Traders Loan against
Gold Ornaments/Gold Jewellery/Gold Coins‖ has been launched. As per the scheme guidelines of
Baroda Traders Loan, Borrowers are not considered any ad- hoc/ excess over the limit
sanctioned under the Scheme. Based on the feed back received from Zones/Regions, a need was
felt to meet the emergent working capital requirement arising out of peak season requirements,
delayed payments by debtors, tax payment etc. With a view to cater to such financial needs of
our existing Baroda Traders Loan borrowers, a new Retail Loan Asset product named ―Baroda
Traders Gold Card Scheme‖ has been launched. The Scheme provides for sanctioning of
additional limit to the extent of 20% of the sanctioned limit under Baroda Trader Limit or 70%
of realizable market value of immovable property (including realizable market value set aside
for sanctioning of regular Baroda Traders Limit), whichever is lower. This should enable our
operating units to satisfy the needs of our existing borrowers with good track record. With the
modification in ceiling on maximum limit coupled with launching of Baroda Traders Gold Card
Scheme, our Baroda Traders Loan product has become more competitive and robust.

Vigilance (1) function is aimed at bringing about a higher order of morality(2) as well as
rationality in the conduct(3) of affairs of public service. Vigilance is not to be construed(4) as
an administrative chore(5). True vigilance acts proactively, aimed at preventing corrupt(7)
practices, rather than reacting to acts of corruption by way of detective and/or punitive(8)
acts. The success of vigilance functions in an organization is judged by the effectiveness(9) in
prevention(10) of unhealthy practices rather than by number of cases detected and
punished.Vigilance, therefore, is not simply a police function but one of management of human(6)
conduct.
Direction: From the paragraph given below please choose the correct antonym from the
numbered words:
