INTRODUCTION
A. Banking in India
Finance is the lifeblood of trade, commerce, and industry.
Nowadays, the banking sector acts as the backbone of modern
business. The development of any country largely depends on the
banking system. An organization, usually a corporation chartered
by a state or federal government, typically performs one or more of
the following functions:
Receives demand and time deposits
Honors instruments drawn on them and pays interest
Issues notes and makes loans
Invests in securities
Collects checks, drafts, and notes
Certifies depositors’ checks
Issues drafts and cashier’s checks
The term "bank" is derived from the French word Banco, which
means a bench or money exchange table. In earlier times, European
moneylenders or money changers used to display coins of various
countries in large quantities on benches or tables for the purpose of
lending or exchanging. A bank is a financial institution that deals
with deposits, advances, and related services. It collects money
from those who wish to save and lends it to those who need it.

and diversification as regards the functions, services and activities

money. Banks collect money from those who have surplus money
and give the same to those who are in need of money.
10. Banking Business
A bank’s main activity should be to do business of banking which
should not be subsidiary to any other business.
11. Name Identity
A bank should always add the word “bank” to its name to enable
people to know that it is a bank and that it is dealing in money.
E. Types of banks
Type 1. Saving Banks
Saving banks are established to create saving habit among the
people. These banks are helpful for salaried people and low income
groups. The deposits collected from customers are invested in
bonds, securities, etc. At present most of the commercial banks
carry the functions of savings banks. Postal department also
performs the functions of saving bank.
Type 2. Commercial Banks
Commercial banks are established with an objective to help
businessmen. These banks collect money from general public and give
short-term loans to businessmen by way of cash credits, overdrafts, etc.
Commercial banks provide various services like collecting cheques, bill
of exchange, and remittance money from one place to another place.
In India, commercial banks are established under Companies Act,
1956. In 1969, 14 commercial banks were nationalized by
Government of India. The policies regarding deposits, loans, rate of
interest, etc. of these banks are controlled by the Central Bank.
Type 3. Industrial Banks / Development Banks
Industrial / Development banks collect cash by issuing shares &
debentures and providing long-term loans to industries. The main
objective of these banks is to provide long-term loans for
expansion and modernization of industries.
In India such banks are established on a large scale after
independence. They are Industrial Finance Corporation of India
(IFCI), Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India
(ICICI) and Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI).
Type 4. Land Mortgage / Land Development Banks
Land Mortgage or Land Development banks are also known as
Agricultural Banks because these are formed to finance agricultural
sector. They also help in land development.
In India, Government has come forward to assist these banks. The
Government has guaranteed the debentures issued by such banks.
There is a great risk involved in the financing of agriculture and
generally commercial banks do not take much interest in financing
agricultural sector.
Type 5. Indigenous Banks
Indigenous banks mean Money Lenders and Sahukars. They collect
deposits from general public and grant loans to the needy persons
out of their own funds as well as from deposits. These indigenous
banks are popular in villages and small towns. They perform
combined functions of trading and banking activities. Certain well-
known Indian communities like Marwari’s and Multan even today
run specialized indigenous banks.
Type 6. Central / Federal / National Bank
Every country of the world has a central bank. In India, Reserve
Bank of India, in U.S.A., Federal Reserve and in U.K., Bank of
England. These central banks are the bankers of the other banks.
They provide specialized functions i.e. issue of paper currency,
working as bankers of government, supervising and controlling
foreign exchange. A central bank is a non-profit making institution.
It does not deal with the public but it deals with other banks. The
principal responsibility of Central Bank is thorough control on
currency of a country.
Type 7. Co-operative Banks
In India, Co-operative banks are registered under the Co-operative
Societies Act, 1912. They generally give credit facilities to small
farmers, salaried employees, small-scale industries, etc. Co-
operative Banks are available in rural as well as in urban areas. The
functions of these banks are just similar to commercial banks.
Type 8. Exchange Banks
Hong Kong Bank, Bank of Tokyo, Bank of America are the
examples of Foreign Banks working in India. These banks are
mainly concerned with financing foreign trade.
Following are the various functions of Exchange Banks:–
Remitting money from one country to another country,
Discounting of foreign bills,
Buying and Selling Gold and Silver, and
Helping Import and Export Trade.
Type 9. Consumers Banks
Consumers bank is a new addition to the existing type of banks.
Such banks are usually found only in advanced countries like
U.S.A. and Germany. The main objective of this bank is to give
loans to consumers for purchase of the durables like Motor car,
television set, washing machine, furniture, etc. The consumers have
to repay the loans in easy installments.
There are two main categories of the co-operative banks.
(1) Short term lending oriented co-operative Banks – Within
this category there are three sub categories of banks viz:
State co-operative banks
District co-operative banks
Primary Agricultural co-operative societies
(2) Long term lending oriented co-operative Banks – Within the
second category there are:
State co-operatives
Rural development banks
The co-operative banking structure in India is divided into the

funds of the society are derived from the share capital and deposits
of members and loans from central co-operative banks.
The borrowing powers of the members as well as of the society are
fixed. The loans are given to members for the purchase of cattle,
fodder, fertilizers, pesticides, implements, etc.
District Central Co-op Banks:

and are of two types – those having a membership of primary
societies only and those having membership of societies as well as
individuals.
The funds of the bank consist of share capital, deposits,
loans and overdrafts from state co-operative banks and joint
stocks. These banks finance member societies within the
limits of the borrowing capacity of societies. They also
conduct all the business of a joint stock bank.
State Co-operative Banks:
The state co-operative bank is a federation of central co-operative
banks and acts as a watchdog of the co-operative banking structure

governed both by the state government and Reserve Bank of India.
Recently, the supervision of land development banks has been
assumed by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development (NABARD). The sources of funds for these banks
are the debentures subscribed by both central and state government.
These banks do not accept deposits from the general public.
Chapter 2
THE KURUKSHETRA CENTRAL CO -OPERATIVE
BANK
A. Introduction
According to the International Co-operative Alliance Statement of
co-operative identity, a co-operative is an autonomous association
of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic,
social, and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly-owned
and democratically-controlled enterprise. Co-operatives are based
on the values of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality,
equity and solidarity. In the tradition of their founders, co-operative
members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social
responsibility and caring for others.
The 7 co-operative principles are:
1. Voluntary and open membership
2. Democratic member control
3. Member economic participation
4. Autonomy and independence
5. Education, training and information
6. Co-operation among Co-operatives
7. Concern for Community
A co-operative bank is a financial entity which belongs to its
members, who are at the same time the owners and the customers
of their bank. Co-operative banks are often created by persons
belonging to the same local or professional community or sharing a
common interest. Co-operative banks generally provide their
members with a wide range of banking and financial services
(loans, deposits, banking accounts...).
Co-operative banks differ from stockholder banks by their
organization, their goals, their values and their governance. In most
countries, they are supervised and controlled by banking authorities
and have to respect prudential banking regulations, which put them
at a level playing field with stockholder banks. Depending on
countries, this control and supervision can be implemented directly
by state entities or delegated to a co-operative federation or central
body.
Even if their organizational rules can vary according to their
respective national legislations, co-operative banks share common
features:
Customer’s owned entities: in a co-operative bank, the needs of
the customers meet the needs of the owners, as co-operative bank
members
are both. As a consequence, the first aim of a co-operative bank
is not to maximize profits but to provide the best possible
products and services to its members. Some co-operative banks
only operate with their members but most of them also admit
non-member clients to benefit from their banking and financial
services.
Democratic member control: co-operative banks are owned and
controlled by their members, who democratically elect the board
of directors. Members usually have equal voting rights,
according to the co-operative principle of “one person, one vote”.
Profit allocation: in a co-operative bank, a significant part of
the yearly profit, benefits or surplus is usually allocated to
constitute reserves. A part of this profit can also be distributed
to the co-operative.

B. Difference between Fixed Deposit (FD) and Recurring
Deposit (RD)
When choosing a deposit scheme, many people struggle to decide
between FD and RD. Here’s a helpful comparison:
Fixed Deposit (FD)
Ideal for individuals with a lump sum to invest.
Interest depends on maturity period — longer periods offer
higher interest.
Returns can be taken monthly, quarterly, half-yearly,
yearly, or in a lump sum at maturity.
Premature/partial withdrawal is allowed with penalties,
which vary by bank.
If interest exceeds Rs. 10,000/year, a TDS (Tax Deducted at
Source) is applied:
o 10% of interest
o Plus 3% Education Cess
FD is not ideal if you can't invest a lump sum in one go.
Recurring Deposit (RD)
Best for salaried individuals or those with regular monthly
income.
Suitable when you want to save a fixed amount monthly for
a specific time.
Difference between FD and RD
Recurring Deposit (RD) is a better option if:
You have regular income but not a lump sum to invest at
once.
You are confident you can deposit the fixed amount every
month.
Drawbacks of RD:
Non-flexibility in the deposit amount.
No partial payments or overpayments allowed.
Interest depends on maturity period — longer duration yields
higher interest.
RD generally provides less return than FD.
Premature withdrawal is allowed with penalties.
No partial withdrawal permitted.
No TDS (Tax Deductible at Source) is applicable for RD.
Conclusion:
FD generally offers higher returns but requires lump-sum
investment. RD is suitable for those with regular income who can
commit to monthly deposits. Choice depends on your personal
financial planning.

D. Cheque
Meaning
Cheque is an important negotiable instrument which can be

convenient payment. It is less risky and the danger of loss is
minimized.
Definition of a Cheque
"Cheque is an instrument in writing containing an unconditional
order, addressed to a banker, sign by the person who has deposited
money with the banker, requiring him to pay on demand a certain
sum of money only to or to the order of certain person or to the
bearer of instrument."
Types of Cheques
1. Bearer Cheque
When the words "or bearer" appearing on the face of the cheque
are not cancelled, the cheque is called a bearer cheque. The bearer
cheque is payable to the person specified therein or to any other
else who presents it to the bank for payment. However, such
cheques are risky, this is because if such cheques are lost, the
finder of the cheque can collect payment from the bank.
2. Order Cheque
When the word "bearer" appearing on the face of a cheque is
cancelled and when in its place the word "or order" is written on
the face of the cheque, the cheque is called an order cheque. Such a
cheque is payable to the person specified therein as the payee, or to
anyone else to whom it is endorsed .
3. Uncrossed / Open Cheque
When a cheque is not crossed, it is known as an "Open Cheque" or
an "Uncrossed Cheque". The payment of such a cheque can be
obtained at the counter of the bank. An open cheque may be a
bearer cheque or an order one.
4. Crossed Cheque
Crossing of a cheque means drawing two parallel lines on the face
of the cheque with or without additional words like "& CO." or
"Account Payee" or "Not Negotiable". A crossed cheque cannot be
encashed at the cash counter of a bank, but it can only be credited
to the payee’s account.
5. Anti-Dated Cheque
If a cheque bears a date earlier than the date on which it is
presented to the bank, it is called an "anti-dated cheque". Such a
cheque is valid up to six months from the date of the cheque.
6. Post-Dated Cheque
If a cheque bears a date which is yet to come (future date), then it is
known as a post-dated cheque. A post-dated cheque cannot be
honored earlier than the date on the cheque.
7. Stale Cheque
If a cheque is presented for payment after six months from the date
of the cheque, it is called a stale cheque. A stale cheque is not
honored by the bank.
(iii). Features of Cheques
1Cheque is an instrument in writing
A cheque must be in writing. It can be written in ink pen, ballpoint
pen, typed, or even printed. Oral orders are not considered as
cheques.
2. Cheque contains an unconditional order
Every cheque contains an unconditional order issued by the
customer to his bank. It does not contain a request for payment. A
cheque containing conditional orders is dishonored by the bank.
3. Cheque is drawn by a customer on his bank
A cheque is always drawn on a specific bank mentioned therein.
Cheques drawn by strangers are of no meaning. Cheque book
facility is made available only to account holders who are supposed
to maintain a certain minimum balance in the account.
4. Cheque must be signed by customer
A cheque must be signed by the customer (account holder).
Unsigned cheques or cheques signed by persons other than the
customer are not regarded as valid cheques.

be paid must be clear and written both in words and figures.

2. Drawee: The bank on which the cheque is drawn.
3. Payee: The person in whose favor the cheque is issued.
E. Crossing of Cheque
A cheque is a negotiable instrument. During circulation, a
cheque may be:
Lost or stolen
Endorsed by someone other than the rightful payee
This can lead to misuse. To prevent fraud and unauthorized
payment, crossing is used as a protective measure.
Purpose of Crossing
Protects the drawer and payee
Applies to both bearer and order cheques
Prevents encashment at the counter—must be deposited
through a bank account
Crossing involves drawing two parallel lines across the face of
the cheque, ensuring it’s only processed via bank transfer, not over-
the-counter.
A. Different Types of Crossing
1. General Crossing
A cheque is generally crossed when:
1. Two transverse parallel lines are marked across its face, or
2. It bears the abbreviation "& Co." between the two lines, or
3. It bears the words "Not Negotiable" between the lines, or
4. It bears the words "A/c. Payee" between the lines
5.
A crossed cheque can be converted back into a bearer
cheque by:
o Cancelling the crossing,
o Writing a statement indicating the cancellation,
And affixing the full signature of the drawer
Specimen of General Crossing
& Co.
A/c Payee
Not Negotiable
These are written between two parallel lines to restrict over-the-counter
payments.
2. Special or Restrictive Crossing
This type of crossing occurs when a specific bank's name is written
between the two parallel lines.
It is more secure than general crossing.
The cheque is payable only through the bank mentioned, and not
through any other bank.
Specimen of Special or Restrictive Crossing
STATE BANK OF INDIA
A/c Payee Only STATE BANK OF INDIA
Not Negotiable STATE BANK OF INDIA
These forms indicate that the cheque is restricted to be processed through
State Bank of India only, and is further protected from negotiation or
bearer encashment.
Conclusion of Crossing of Cheque
Special crossing ensures that payment is made only to the banker
named in the crossing.
It is more secure than general crossing.
The closing statement reiterates:
"Cheque is an instrument in writing."

KISAN CREDIT CARD
1. OBJECTIVES:
Kisan Credit Card Scheme aims at providing need-based and timely
credit support to the farmers for their cultivation needs as well as non-
farm activities in a cost-effective manner.
To bring about flexibility and operational freedom in credit
utilization.
2. ELIGIBILITY:
Under the scheme, branches may issue Kisan Credit Cards to
the farmers who are otherwise eligible for sanction of short-
term credit for crop production, allied activities, and other
non-farm activities.
The farmers should come from the operational area of the
Branch.
3. ISSUE OF CARDS:
The farmers under the scheme will be issued a credit card-
cum-passbook incorporating the name, address, particulars of
land holding, borrowing limit/sub-limits, validity period, etc.
to facilitate recording of the transactions on an ongoing basis.
The passbook, among others, would provide for a passport-
size photograph of the beneficiary.
The beneficiary farmer should produce the passbook while
operating the account.
4. TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY:
Suitability of soil, climate, and availability of adequate
irrigation facilities.
Suitability of the produce for storage.
Suitability of the storage unit.
5. TYPE OF FACILITY:
Revolving Cash Credit – Annual Review:
The farmer should be allowed for any number of drawls and
repayment within the limit.
The review may result in continuation of the facility,
enhancement of the limit, or cancellation of the
limit/withdrawal of the facility, depending upon the
performance of the borrower.
The aggregate of credits into the account during the 12-month
period should at least be equal to the maximum outstanding in
the account.
No drawl in the account should remain outstanding for more
than:
o 12 months in case of normal crops
o 18 months in case of sugarcane and banana crops
In case of reschedulement of the period of repayment due to
natural calamities affecting the farmer, the period for
reckoning the status of operations as satisfactory or otherwise
would get extended together with the extended amount of
limit. When the proposed extension goes beyond one crop
season, the aggregate of Debits for which extension is
granted should be transferred to a separate term loan account
with stipulation for repayment in installments as per existing
guidelines.
As a measure of incentive for card holders with good
performance, the Branches may, at the time of review,
enhance the credit limit suitably to take care of the increase in
cost of inputs/labour, change in cropping pattern, etc.

CONCLUSION:
Finance is the lifeblood of trade, commerce, and industry.
Nowadays, the banking sector acts as the backbone of
modern business. The development of any country largely
depends on the banking system.
A bank accepts money from people in the form of deposits,
usually repayable on demand or after a fixed period, providing
safety to customers' money.
A co-operative bank is a financial entity that belongs to its
members, who are both the owners and customers of the
bank. These banks are typically created by individuals from
the same local or professional community and offer a range
of services like loans, deposits, and bank accounts
Co-operative banks differ from stockholder banks in their
organization, goals, values, and governance. They are
generally supervised by banking authorities and must follow
prudential regulations to remain competitive with
stockholder banks.
Depending on the country, supervision of co-operative banks
is either directly implemented by state entities or delegated
to a co-operative federation or central body. Even if their
organizational rules can vary according to their respective
national legislations, co-operative banks share common
features:
Customer's owned entities: in a co-operative bank, the needs
of the customers meet the needs of the owners, as co-operative
bank members are both. As a consequence, the first aim of a
co-operative bank is not to maximize profit but to provide the
best possible products and services to its members. Some co-
operative banks only operate with their members but most of
them also admit non-member clients to benefit from their
banking and financial services
Democratic member control: co-operative banks are owned
and controlled by their members, who democratically elect the
board of directors. Members usually have equal voting rights,
according to the co-operative principle of "one person, one
vote". Profile allocation: in a co-operative bank, a significant
part of the yearly profit, benefits or surplus is usually allocated
to constitute reserves. A part of this profit can also be
distributed to the co-operative
The Co-operative Bank operates under its own brand as well as
those of smile, Platform and Britannia. We offer our services
through 342 branches and 22 corporate banking centers as well as
telephony and online channels. We are a leader in the field of
ethical investment and corporate social responsibility. Our

industry and we pursue an active strategy of community
involvement.
