CURRENT DEPOSITSThese are payable to the customer when ever they are demanded. When a banker accepts a demand deposit, he incurs the obligation of paying all cheques etc, drawn against him to the extent of the balance in the account. Because of their nature, these deposits are treated as current liabilities by the banks. Bankers in Pakistan do not allow nay profit on these deposits, and customers are required to maintain a minimum balance, failing which incidental charges are deducted from such accounts. This is because Current Deposits may be withdrawn by the depositors at any time, and as such the bank is not entirely free to employ such deposits.9 Current Accounts/ Basic Banking accounts are opened, on proper introduction and submission of required documents along with initial deposit prescribed from time to time.

six monthly basis under the Interest Free Banking System. There is no restriction on the withdrawals from the deposit accounts but the amount of money withdraw is deleted from the amount to be taken for calculation of products for assessment of profit to be paid to the account holder. It discourages unnecessary withdrawals from the deposits. In order to popularize the scheme the SBP has allowed the Savings Scheme for school and college students and industrial labour also.

months to five years in accordance with the agreement made between the customer and the banker. Profit/Return is paid to the depositors on all fixed or Time deposits, and the rate of profit/Return varies with the duration for which the amount is kept with the banker. By lending out or investing these funds, the bank earns more than the Profit/Return that it has to pay on them to the depositors.11 By giving an advance notice to the bank the deposit can be withdraw from the bank before the expiry of the period.

CORPORATE ADVANCESCASH FINANCEThis is a very common form of borrowing by commercial and industrial concerns and is made available either against pledge or hypothecation of goods, produce or merchandise. In cash finance, a borrower is allowed to borrow money from the banker up to a certain limit, either at once or as and when required. The borrower prefers this form of lending due to the facility of paying markup/services charges only on the amount he actually utilizes. If the borrower does not utilize the full limit, the banker has to lose return on the un-utilized amount. In order to offset this loss, the banker may provide for a suitable clause in the cash finance agreement, according to which the borrower has to pay markup/service charges on at least on self or one quarter of the amount of cash finance limit allowed to him even when he does not utilize that amount.

RUNNING FINANCE/ OVERDRAFTThis is the most common form of bank lending. When a borrower requires temporary accommodation his banker allows withdrawals on his account in excess of the balance which the borrowing customer has in credit, and an overdraft thus occurs. This accommodation is generally allowed against collateral securities. When it is against collateral securities it is called Secured Overdraft and when the borrowing customer cannot offer any collateral security except his personal security, the accommodation is called a Clean Overdraft. The borrowing customer is in an advantageous position in an overdraft, because he has to pay service charges only on the balance outstanding against him. The main difference between a cash finance and overdraft lies in the fact that cash finance is a bank finance used for long term by commercial and industrial concern on regular basis, while an overdraft is a temporary accommodation occasionally resorted to.

DEMAND FINANCEWhen a customer borrows from a banker a fixed amount repayable either in periodic installments or in lump sum at a fixed future time, it is called a loan. When bankers allow loans to their

Raja Hamza Javed 03335199328

P a g e | 31

customers against collateral securities they are called secured loans and when no collateral security is taken they are called clean loans. The amount of loan is placed at the borrowers disposal in lump sum for the period agreed upon, and the borrowing customer has to pay interest on the entire amount. Thus the borrower gets a fixed amount of money for his use, while the banker feels satisfied in lending money in fixed amounts for definite short periods against a satisfactory security.

REMITTANCESDEMAND DRAFTSDrafts drawn by one branch on another branch or on the Head Office of same bank or vice versa, are not cheques or bills, as these have no distinct drawer and drawee. Section 85-A reads: Where any draft, that is, an order to pay money, drawn by one office of bank upon another office of the same bank for a sum of money payable to order on demand, purports to be issued by or on behalf of the payee, the bank is discharged by payment in due course. Bankers drafts payable to order on demand are within the protection of Sections 10 and 131-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act. However, if a demand draft drawn on a bank by its own branch bears a forged endorsement, the person in possession of it cannot compel that bank to pay it. As far as possible the bankers draft should be crossed and it should never be drawn payable to bearer. When a person requires a draft he should be asked to complete the prescribed application form in which he should state the amount of the draft, the name of the payee, and the place of payment. This application form should be signed by the purchaser or by those persons who have been duly authorized to act on his behalf. When a customer requests his banker to provide him with a bankers draft, the amount of which is to be debited to his account, he should enclose with his written request a cheque covering the amount of the required draft and other charges etc. payable to banker.19 The National Bank of Pakistan provides demand drafts at very reasonable rates with safety, speedy and reliable way to transfer money. Any person whether an account holder of the bank or not, can purchase a Demand Draft form a bank.
