Commercial Banks: Functions, Deposits & Balance Sheets

Commercial bank deposits accept करता, credit extend करता और payments facilitate करता है। A depositor का balance उसका financial asset है, लेकिन bank के लिए repayable liability। Borrower को दिया loan bank की asset है।
| Group | Examples |
|---|---|
| Primary functions | Current/savings/time deposits; loans, overdrafts, cash credit, bill discounting |
| Agency functions | Cheques/bills collection, standing instructions, customer की ओर से payments |
| General utility / services | Remittance, safe custody, locker and approved ancillary services |
| Assets | Cash, RBI balances, loans/advances, securities |
| Liabilities + equity | Customer deposits, borrowings और owners’ funds |
Basic Bank Balance-Sheet Identity
Given assets, liabilities और capital से missing balance खोजें।
Worked example: Cash/reserves=100, loans=700, securities=300 → assets=1100; deposits=950, borrowings=50 → equity=100।
Interpretation: Deposit बैंक की income नहीं। Loan principal asset है; interest earned income है। Equity residual buffer है, not a customer’s deposit।
Simple Interest on a Bank Loan
Question explicitly simple annual interest दे और compounding न हो।
Worked example: Loan ₹20,000 at hypothetical 9% for 6 months → I=20000×.09×.5 = ₹900।
Interpretation: Interest ₹900; total repayment ₹20,900 if principal repaid together and no other charges। EMI/compound-rate problem में यह alone sufficient नहीं।
- Demand deposits payable on demand हैं; time deposits maturity/terms से जुड़े हैं। सभी bank deposits M₁ में included नहीं; time deposits broader M₃ में आते हैं।
- A loan credited to a borrower’s account creates loan asset and matching deposit liability. Spending outside that bank triggers settlement/reserve needs।
- Banking involves liquidity, profitability और safety का balance. “Bank lends all deposits” और “bank holds every deposit as idle cash” दोनों oversimplifications हैं।
- Credit ≠ free income: repayment obligation remains. A debit card/UPI payment existing deposit transfer कर सकता है, new lending जरूरी नहीं।
Active Recall / Writing Practice
- One ₹500 loan credited into account की two-sided bank entries बनाएं।
- Deposits, borrowings, capital, securities को four balance-sheet headings में रखें।
Notes बन्द करके लिखें। Review next day, third day और seventh day. File delivery, study attendance और mastery अलग हैं।
Memory recap: Deposits: bank liability; loans/reserves: bank assets; assets=liabilities+equity।

Your Revision Result
Your answer: · Correct answer: C. Liability
Bank depositor को repay करने के लिए liable है; same deposit customer की asset है।
Your answer: · Correct answer: B. Asset
Loan repayment/interest का claim bank की asset है; borrower के लिए liability।
Your answer: · Correct answer: B. 100
Assets1100; outside liabilities1000; equity=100।
Your answer: · Correct answer: C. ₹900
I=20000×.09×.5=900;6months=.5year।
Your answer: · Correct answer: C. ₹20,900
Total repayment=P+I=20000+900=20900; interest alone repayment नहीं।
Your answer: · Correct answer: D. Agency service
Bank customer के agent की तरह collection कर रहा है; primary deposit/lending से अलग service है।
Your answer: · Correct answer: A. Loan asset+500; deposit liability+500
Loan creates asset claim और matching spendable deposit liability; later spending settlement needs पैदा कर सकती है।
Your answer: · Correct answer: B. M1 में नहीं, M3 में time-deposit component
Conventional M3=M1+banking-system time deposits; M1 में demand deposits होते हैं।
Your answer: · Correct answer: C. Unchanged, though bank-wise balances/reserves change
Payer deposit घटता और payee deposit बढ़ता है; settlement reserve distribution बदल सकता है, aggregate public deposits same रह सकते हैं।
Your answer: · Correct answer: B. Overdraft
Overdraft bank credit facility है; amount owed borrower की liability है।
Your answer: · Correct answer: D. Loan asset−100; deposit liability−100
Repayment extinguishes loan claim और deposit balance; loan interest का separate accounting question यहाँ नहीं है।
Your answer: · Correct answer: A. Liquidity, safety और profitability को balance करना
Lending earnings दे सकती है; liquidity और credit risk management भी जरूरी हैं।
