2. A) INTRODUCTION/ IMPORTANCE/ SIGNIFICANCE
INTRODUCTION TO COMMERCIAL BANKS
Commercial banks play a vital role in the economic development of a nation.
They are the most important source of institutional credit in the money market as they
provide short term loans and advances to its customers. They perform a variety of
functions and are the main source of credit which is the main input for trade and
business activity. Credit created by commercial banks is a major component of money
supply in a modern economy. Modern economies depend on the banking sector for
production, exchange and distribution.
A Commercial bank is a type of financial intermediary and a type of bank.
Commercial bank has two possible meanings:
a) It is the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an investment
bank.
b) Commercial banking can also refer to a bank or a division of a bank that
mostly deals with deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses, as opposed
to normal individual members of the public (retail banking).
3. A commercial bank is a profit seeking organization dealing in the other people’s
money, in the sense that it accepts deposits of money from the public to keep them in its
custody for safety. So also, it deals in credit, i.e., it creates credit by making advances
out of the funds received as deposits to needy people. It charges higher rate of interests
for the loans sanctioned and offers lower rate of interest for the deposits. The difference
between the two is the profit earned by the bank. Thus, a commercial bank functions as
a mobilize of saving in the economy.
SIGNIFICANCE OF BANKS
The importance of a bank to modern economy, so as to enable them to develop,
can be stated as follows:
(i) The banks collect the savings of those people who can save and allocate them
to those who need it. These savings would have remained idle due to ignorance
of the people and due to the fact that they were in scattered and oddly small
quantities. But banks collect them and divide them in the portions as required by
the different investors.
(ii) Banks preserve the financial resources of the country & it is expected that
they allocate them appropriately in the suitable & desirable manner.
(iii) They make available the means for sending funds from one place to another
and do this in cheap, safe and convenient manner.
4. (iv) Banks arrange for payments by cheques, order or bearer, crossed and ,
which is the easiest and most convenient. Besides they also care for making such
payments as safe as possible.
(v) Banks also help their customers, in the task of preserving their precious
possessions intact and safe. To advance money, the basis of modern industry and
economy and essential for financing the developmental process, is governed by
banks.
(vii) It makes the monetary system elastic. Such elasticity is greatly desired in
the present economy, where the phase of economy goes on changing and with
such changes, demand for money is required. It is quite proper and convenient
for the government and R.B.I. to change its currency and credit policy
frequently, this is done by RBI, by changing the supply of money with the
changing needs of the public.
