What to Focus On

  • Commercial banks accept deposits and give loans.
  • They work mainly for profit.
  • They help in saving, capital formation, credit, and economic development.
  • Primary functions are accepting deposits and advancing loans.
  • Current deposits are also called demand deposits.
  • Current accounts are non-interest bearing and allow cheque withdrawals.
  • Cash credit charges interest only on the amount actually withdrawn.
  • Short-term loans charge interest on the full sanctioned amount from the date of sanction.
  • Money at call has a maturity of one to fourteen days.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A commercial bank mainly keeps money safe and does not really create money.

Primary deposits are the same as credit creation.

Savings deposits and current deposits are the same because both allow withdrawal.
