INTRODUCTION TO BANKING SYSTEM

MEANING:

Banking or the business of banking is as old as the

civilization itself. According to some authorities, the word “Bank”
or “Banking” is derived from the Italian word ‘BANCO’, and the
French word ‘BANQUE’ which means a ‘BENCH’ used by the
money – charges and money –lenders in ancient and medieval
times to transact their activities ie., money changing and money
lending by displaying coins of different countries and of different
denomination in big hips on the benches, for the purpose of
changing and lending money.

But, according to some other authorities the term ‘BANK’ is

derived from Germen word ‘BANCK’ which means a joint stock
fund or common fund raised from the large number of members
of the public. They are of that opinion that the early bankers
raised funds from the public for the purpose of giving loans. The
term bank is generally associated with an institution dealing in
hips of money raised from the public.

DEFINITION:

4
 On account of the numerous activities performed by a
modern bank, the various definitions attempted so for have
thrown some light on characteristics of the bank.

Some of the definitions are as follows: -

According to Banking Regulation Act 1949, define the term

Banking company as any company which transact the business of
banking in India and the term ‘ BANKING’ as accepting for the
purpose of lending or investments of deposits of money from the
public, and repayable on the demand or otherwise and withdrawn
by cheques, drafts or order or otherwise.

Sir, John Paget says “No persons or body corporate or

otherwise can be a banker who does not take deposit accounts,
issue and pay cheques and collect cheques of crossed and
uncrossed for his customer and finally banking should be his
main business.

WORLD BANKING HISTORY: -

European banking has a very old history, dating from the

days of Greece and Rome, where these ancient bankers were
performing various functions known to modern Banking. The
Babylonians are know to have used their temples as banks and
the priests acted as the financial agents until the public
confidence was destroyed by spreatd of disbelief in religion. The
jews who had kept their possessions in a more or less liquid stat
because they were not all owed to hold lands carried on early

5
European banking. The Jews are said to have introduced Bills of
Exchange in Europe, very likely from the more advanced East of
that date, which were soon discovered to be the most convenient
method of transmitting money from one country to another.

INDIAN BANKING HISTORY:-

Banking is also of very ancient origin in India. It is stated by

authoritative writers that as early as the vedic period, records of
taking and giving of credits are to be found. All throughout the
period of Indian history, money-lenders who were called either
bankers or seths, or shorffs, are recorded to have existed, and
are stated to have carried on a roaring business in money-lending
and banking. The great Hindu lawgiver, Manoo, who is said to
have flourished about the second or third century A D also
devotes a section of his work to the question of deposits and
pledges. By the 12th century, the Jain bankers are recorded in
history to have flourished and the famous Dilwara and Mount
Abu, is Said to have been build by the two join bankers some
where between 1197 and 1247 A D.

The banking system in India and the outcome of innovation

considerably influenced by historical growth and past transaction.
The evolution and expansion of banking system consists of well –
defined places of banking developed in India. Originally, India has
Indigenous banking system. The impact of west resulted in the
modernization of the banking system in India, as joint stock

The need for a ventral bank in India as felt as early as in

a commercial bank, it performed certain central banking
functions, such as acting as a banker of government, the issue of
notes, however continued to be the direct responsibility of the
central Government.

In 1926, the Royal Commission of India currency and

finance suggested the establishment of Reserve Bank of India to
act as a central bank. In January 1927, a bill giving effect to his
recommendation as introduced in the legislative assembly. The
issue assumed importance again in 133 with the publication of
the white pages on Indian constitutional reforms.
Again with the recommendation of the central banking
enquiry committee a fresh bill called Reserve Bank f India bill as
introduced on 8th September 1933, the bill as duly passed and
become an act on 6th March 1934 called as Reserve Bank of India
Act. The bank was formally inaugurated on 1st April 1935.

Cash Credit

A cash credit is a financial arrangement under which a

borrower is allowed an advanced account up to a specified limit
called the cash credit limit. As it is a separate account by itself, it
does not require the existence or the opening of a current
account In the case of a cash credit, the borrower need not
withdraw the whole amount at once in one lump sum. He can
withdraw the amount in installments as and when he needs
Further, he can put back i.e., deposit) into his account any
surplus amount, a running account from which money can be
deposited by the borrower frequently however, the debit balance
in a cash credit account in any day should not exceed the cash
credit limit. A cash credit is, usually, a more permanent financial
arrangement.
A cash credit is, usually, granted against the security of
goods i.e., the agricultural or industrial products like rice, cotton,
cotton textiles etc., in which the borrowing concerning deals
Sometimes it is given against a guarantee, i.e., a bond of credit
signed by one or more sureties. But it is very rarely given against
the personal security of the borrower. In cash credit interest is
charged quarterly or half yearly on the daily debit balances for
the actual period of utilization.

30
 The popularity of cash credit increased due to the following to
reasons:

1. In the case of cash credit, the borrower is required to pay

interest, no on the amount of cash credit sanctioned, but
only on the amount actually utilized by him, for actual
period of utilization.
2. It is a permanent financial arrangement. Even though it is
popular, it is disadvantageous to banker, because while he
can charge interest only on the amount actually withdrawn
by the borrower, he is required to keep at the disposal of
the borrower the entire amount of cash credit sanctioned.

OVER DRAFTS:

An overdraft is a financial arrangement, under which a

current account holder is permitted by the bank to overdraw his
account, i.e., to draw more than the amount standing to his
credit, up to an agreed limit. So, an overdraft implies the
existence of a current account. By nature, an overdraft is a
temporary financial accommodation to be made use of by the
customer occasionally. But, in actual practice, it is made use of
by the customer regularly and is granted for an agreed period.

31
After the expiry of the agreed period, the customer is expected to
settle the debit balance in his account.

An overdraft is granted either against collateral securities or

against the personal security of the borrower. In case of an
overdraft, interest is charged quarterly or half yearly, and is
calculated on the daily debit balances for the actual arrangement
is very advantageous to the borrower, as interest is charged only
on the amount actually drawn by him. But, it is disadvantageous
to the banker because while he can charge interest only on the
amount actually overdrawn by the customer, he is required to
keep at the disposal of the borrower the full amount of the
overdraft sanctioned. Therefore, to protect the interest of the
banker, generally, there is a provision for charging commitment
charge on the unutilized portion of the credit limit. Today, no
commitment charge is charged on overdraft. Further, there is
also another clause known as minimum interest clause included
in the overdraft arrangement. Under the minimum interest
clause, the customer is required to pay interest at the agreed
rate on the amount actually overdrawn or on a portion of the
amount of overdraft sanctioned, which ever is higher. Periodically
banker will revise this overdraft limit subject to the relationship
existing with current account holder.
