Synopsis – Module 1

3. • The word “Bank” is derived from the word “Bancus or Banque” that is bench.
Jews, who were considered to be the early bankers, transacted their business on
benches in the market. Some people trace the origin of the word “Bank” from the
German word “Back” meaning a joint stock fund. This seems to be better.
• A banking company in India has been defined in the Banking Companies Act, 1949
as one “Which transacts the business of banking which means the accepting, for the
purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable
on demand or other wise and withdraw able by cheque, draft, order or otherwise”.
• An establishment authorized by a government to accept deposits, pay interest, clear
cheque, make loans, act as an intermediary in financial transactions, and provide
other financial services to its customers.

is also considered a useful substitute to banking channels for finance.

institutions(FI) bonds, public sector units (PSU) bonds, and corporate bonds/debentures.

Debt market & Equity market

17. EQUITY MARKET
• Equity market - An equity market is a market in which shares are issued and traded,
either through exchanges or over-the-counter markets. Also known as the stock
market, it is one of the most vital areas of a market economy because it gives
companies access to capital and investors a slice of ownership in a company with
the potential to realize gains based on its future performance.
• Trading in an equity market - In the equity market, investors bid for stocks by
offering a certain price, and sellers ask for a specific price. When these two prices
match, a sale occurs. Often, there are many investors bidding on the same stock.
When this occurs, the first investor to place the bid is the first to get the stock.
When a buyer will pay any price for the stock, he or she is buying at market value;
similarly, when a seller will take any price for the stock, he or she is selling at
market value.

investment products like a savings account, current account, etc to the individuals

24. PROCESS OF MONEY (CREDIT) CREATION
• Suppose a man, say X, deposits Rs 10,000 with a bank and the LRR is 20% which
means the bank keeps only the minimum required Rs 2,000 as cash reserve (LRR).
The bank can use the remaining amount Rs 8,000 (10,000-2,000) for giving loan to
someone (Mind, loan is never given in cash but it is redeposit in the favor of
borrower)
• The bank lends 8,000 to say, Y who is actually not given loan but only demand
deposit account is opened in his name and the amount is credited to his account.
This is the first round of credit creation in the form of secondary deposit (Rs 8000),
which equals 80% of primary (Initial) deposit.
• Again 20% of Y’s deposit (i,e 1,600) is kept by the bank as cash reserve and the
balance Rs 6,400 (= 8,000-1600) is advanced to, say, Z. The bank gets new demand
deposit of Rs 6,400. This is second round of credit creation which is 80% of first
round of increase of Rs 8,000.
• Banks creates credit through initial deposits and this process is known as credit
creation or monetary creation.

25. IT IS BASED ON 2 ASSUMPTIONS:
• All commercial banking system is one unit and known as banks.
• All payments and receipts are made through banks only (in cash).
LRR (Legal Reserve Ratio) = CRR + SLR
Money multiplier = 1/LRR
= 100/20
= 5 Times
