DESCRIPTIVE - COMPREHENSION

Tips for Answering Comprehension Tests

Reading comprehension implies understanding the meaning of a given article or a short

passage. Comprehension tests are meant for testing the understanding level and power

of the reader. You are required to read carefully and answer the questions. You need to

have a complete understanding of the passage before attempting to answer the

questions. Here are some of the tips for answering the questions given in

comprehension.

1. Read Instructions Carefully: You should always be extra careful when reading

the instructions. You may miss or even misunderstand important points. For

example, if you are asked for antonyms or synonyms for a particular word that is in

the passage, then consider the context first. Sometimes, an answer may seem

familiar because it is the correct response to a different question. In addition, if you

are instructed to mark your answers in a particular fashion, failure to do so may

cost you credit for a correct answer.

2. Make Strategic Guesses: Make a habit of reading the choices that are provided to

you before answering the questions to be sure you aren't fooled by nearly correct

choices. If you are unsure of the answer, eliminate any answers that you are

certain are incorrect, and then select your answer from the remaining choices. If

time permits, try to answer all the questions, and then later on eliminate the ones

you aren‘t sure of.

3. Read the Questions First: Whenever you are given a passage to read followed

by several questions to be answered, always read the questions first. By doing

this, you are well aware of what to look for in the passage when you read. This

helps you focus your attention on important words and phrases, allowing you to

skim, rather than having to read every word. Also, you can mark the passage

lightly when you see one of those terms, making it easy to find when you're ready

to verify your answer. If you first read the passage and then go on to read the

questions, it often becomes necessary to search through the passage repeatedly.

4. Review Answer Sheets: After you are finished with the questions, review your

paper at least twice to check for recording errors. This will help you correct your

answers or reframe your sentences, if necessary. Reviewing is important in cases

of multiple choice questions to be sure you don't skip questions or record your

answers in the wrong space. You should always review and go back to the

sections where you had doubts.


5. Focus on the opening and closing paragraphs of longer passages: The

majority of the passages you will encounter on the reading comprehension

questions will be shorter, but one or two will be longer. If you are running out of

time, read the opening and closing paragraphs and skim the middle. The first and

last paragraphs contain the passage‘s main idea in most passages. You can go

back and read body paragraphs more carefully as questions call for it.

6. Use context to help you: If a question asks about a particular line, don‘t go back

in to the passage and read just that line. A good rule of thumb is to read at least 2

sentences before and after the line in question. This will give you an idea of where

the point started and where the author is going with it.

7. Save unfamiliar passages for last: The passages will cover a variety of subjects,

from history to science to literature. Like with any question type, do the questions

that are easier first and save the harder ones for last. Each question is worth the

same amount, so you don‘t want to waste a big chunk of time on a passage with a

few questions when you could answer twice as many questions on easier

passages. If science passages are confusing to you, come back to that one after

you‘ve completed the rest.

8. Understand what the question is asking: Reading comprehension questions

have the most ―gray area‖ of any question type. Some people skim through the

question, not really understanding what it is specifically asking, start reading the

answer choices, and pick the first one that sounds true. This is not a good

strategy–many times more than one answer choice will ring true or partially true

with the passage, but only one will specifically and best answer that particular

question.

9. Never bring in outside knowledge: You do not require having any outside

knowledge for the reading comprehension passages. Your own biases might

actually hurt you when answering the questions, especially if it is an opinion

passage. When provided with a test passage, read it carefully at least twice. When

you are ready to answer the questions, do not use outside knowledge in selecting

or formulating your answer. Always answer only from what is in the passage. Any

answer that cannot be supported with information written or implied in the passage

should be eliminated.

10. Note how vocabulary is used in the sentence: You will come across some

―vocabulary in context‖ questions where you will be given possible definitions of a

vocabulary word in the passage. There may be more than one answer choice that

gives a correct definition for the vocabulary word, but only one choice will fit the

word in this particular context. Notice how the word is used in the sentence, and

plug in the answer choices to see which one works best.


11. “Select One or More Answer Choices” questions, consider each choice

separately: For some of the reading comprehension questions, you will have to

choose one, two, or three of the answers. This format can lead you to second-

guess yourself more than with a typical multiple-choice question where you can

eliminate choices decisively. To avoid these issues, consider each choice

separately and only select it if you feel that it could be the only correct answer to

the question.

12. Underline and take notes as you read: Read the passage actively. Underline

key words or sentences that contain the main idea. Jot down any notes, probably

just a word or two that you think might help you. If the author is taking a side on a

certain issue, write a positive or negative sign next to the passage to remind you

later what his or her position is.

13. Avoid extreme answers: Generally, if an answer choice sounds very extreme in

tone, it‘s not the best choice. Be wary of answers that use words like never,

always, completely, etc. There‘s usually an exception to the rule.

14. Don‟t make assumptions: Inferring and assuming is not the same thing. When

you infer, you make an inference based on the information in the passage. When

you assume, you make an assumption that brings in outside information or biases

and is not based solely on the given passage. An assumption may seem valid, but

if you can‘t back it up with statements from the passage, it‘s probably best to stay

away from it.

at the time of delivery of articles.

4 Charge created by a joint stock company is registered with the registrar of companies.

R Charge created is required to be registered within 30 days of its creation u/s 125 of Companies act.

11 Loans against the security of shares in demat form can be given upto Rs.20 lacs per individual, whereas if they are in physical form, the maximum amount is Rs.10 lacs only.

Further the partners undertake to notify the bank of any change in the constitution of firm

16 Scale of finance per acre for granting crop loans is not uniform for the entire country.

R The pattern of cropping, fertility of soil, yield , irrigation facilities, cost of cultivation are not uniform through out the country

17 The policyholder is advised to re-nominate after the loan against LIC policy is repaid.

R Registration of assignment of a LIC policy with the LIC in favour of the bank cancels the earlier nomination

18 Advances are not granted against partly paid shares of a company.

R The Bank may have to pay for the unpaid calls made by the company. The Bank shall be liable for the unpaid balance in case of liquidation of the company. These are not specified securities as per Gen. Regulations 61 of SBI Act.

19 Start up period / Moratorium period / gestation period for repayment of Term Loans is allowed.

R This will enable the enterprise to overcome teething troubles, stabilise commercial activity to generate sufficient accruals to repay Bank's loan.


20 Depreciation is regarded as a source of fund

R Depreciation is a notional charge on the profits It does not result in out flow of funds from the system

21 Nominee‟s signature is not obtained on the nomination form

R The Depositor may not be inclined to let the nominee or any other persons aware of the nomination.

It also facilitates to change the nomination in case of need, without any hindrance from earlier nominee.

22 A term loan for purchase of a tractor is granted for a maximum period of 9 years.

R The machine is likely to depreciate completely over a period of 9 years without leaving sufficient resale value to cover the bank dues.

The surplus generated by the use of tractor is sufficient to repay the advance within this period.

23 Access Letter / Rent Letter should be obtained from the landlord of the Unit if situated in rented premises.

R To ensure that the Bank‘s representatives have free and unimpaired access to the rented premises of the borrower

To obviate the claim of the landlord on the assets of the unit in case of any dues by the unit in respect of rent or other expenses.

24 Advances should not be granted against shares of private limited companies.

R Because transferability of such shares is restricted in terms of Section 3 of the Indian Companies Act.

25 We preserve the notices sent by post when these are returned undelivered.

R These undelivered envelopes which are branded with the postal date stamps can be produced as evidence in the court of law for having served notices to the Borrowers.

26 Even though a Contract with a Minor is void-ab-initio, Banks open savings bank account in the name of the minor.

R As per Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, contract with a Minor is void. However, as per Section 26 of Negotiable Instruments Acts 1881, Minor can

draw, endorse, negotiate and deliver a negotiable instrument so as to bind all parties except himself.

Banker gets a valid discharge on the cheque, hence deposit accounts are opened, but no overdraft is sanctioned.


27 Bank has declared ‘Whistle Blower Policy’.

As a proactive measure to mitigate operational, legal and reputational risk of the Bank and with a view to enhance Corporate Governance standards.

The clause 49 of SEBI Listing Agreement mandates to establish a mechanism called “Whistle Blower Policy” for employees to report to the management instances of unethical behavior, actual or suspected, fraud or violation of the Company’s code of conduct or ethics policy.

The Government of India had also tabled the Public Interest Disclosure and Protection to Persons Making the Disclosures Bill, 2010 popularly known as ‘Whistle Blower Bill” in the Lok Sabha.

28 Our bank implemented Credit Scoring Model for Per Segment advances.

Need to move towards implementing global standards in lending necessitated standardization in credit disbursal and credit risk management.

Reserve Bank of India has also issued detailed guidelines for implementation of the new capital adequacy framework (Basel II) for estimating regulatory capital requirements for Corporate as well as Retail credit portfolios under both the Standardized and Advanced approaches.

For assigning retail exposures to a pool, a rating system design is required to be put in place, which takes into account borrower risk and transaction risk characteristics, and delinquency of exposures.

The Scoring Model serves as a credit decision making tool to strengthen the existing system of appraising loan applications

29 The Bank has set up Central Processing Centers (CPC).

R CPCs do the processing work of the branches at back end. These CPC’s will decrease the irregularities and consequently decrease the objection of

Central Office inspectors, as the staff well get expertise in the repeated work. This will decrease the work load at the branches and free them to market, see and cross

sell the products and improve the customer service 30 Insurance policies in case of vehicles are obtained only in the name of the borrower and

Bank’s interest is noted.

R As the vehicles are on the move there is very likelihood that it causes loss of property / lives of others.

The owner may have to face the consequences of paying compensation. In case the policies are in the joint names, Bank may be held liable to pay compensation. By noting only our interest, we can ensure payment of compensation through the account

and avoid payment of compensation to others 31 BM scrutinizes staff accounts on regular basis?

This is a preventive vigilance measure and helps in detection of frauds and forger through staff accounts.

It is done to ensure that no unauthorized transactions of disproportionate nature take place through staff account.

Operations in the account are as per the means & life style of employee.


RATIONALES-II

1. The Bank should persuade the account holders to open joint accounts. To enable the survivors to avail of the balances immediately and easily, on the death of either of them without the production of legal representation.

2. The depositors of the SBI are known as unsecured creditors.

No depositor holds any security or has physical/ manual / symbolic / constructive charge on the assets / properties of state bank of India. Bank is an unsecured privileged debtor.

3. Letter of thanks should invariably be sent to the persons opening or introducing new accounts. For ascertaining the correctness and genuineness of the addresses and the introduction. This reduces the possibilities of frauds / forgeries. To express our gratitude for extending the patronage by the depositor to the bank.

4. Nominee‟s signature is not obtained on the nomination from.

This is done to maintain secrecy, as the account holder may not always be inclined to let the nominee be aware of the nomination made by him. It also facilitates change of nomination in case the depositor so desires at a letter date without hindrance from the earlier nominee.

5. On the death of an executor / administrator, cheque issued on such an

account is paid even if the deceased is one of the joint signatories. As on the death of an executor / administrator, his powers are vested in the surviving executor / administrator, as they are trustees of the estate of the deceased. Unless otherwise provided in the will or the letter of administration.

6. As soon as the minor co-parcener attains majority, we obtain his signatures

on previous Joint Hindu Family letter (COS-38). To bind him for all the previous transactions done by the ‗karta‘ during the minors minority. It also signifies his assent to the undertaking given by the major co-parceners.

7. While opening an account in the name of a partnership firm, we obtain

partnership Letter (COS-37) even if a copy of partnership deed is submitted. The bank‘s partnership letter empowers the partnership firm to open an account as they may not have an implied authority to open a bank account in their deed. All the partners undertake to notify the bank of any change in the constitution of the firm. All interim transactions are protected till the bank is advised of the reconstitution.


8. A minor may be allowed to be admitted to a firm.

Although the minor has no contractual capacity as per S 11 of Contract Act, he may be admitted only for benefits of the partnership with the consent of all partners, as per S 30(1) of Indian Partnership Act, 1932. However, he is not liable personally for the firm‘s obligations / liabilities / debts / losses but his share in the partnership property and the profit of the firm is liable for these.

9. Whenever there is a change in the in the constitution of a firm, the relative

bank account should be closed and a fresh account opened in the name of the reconstituted firm. This is done with a view to avoiding the application of the Rule in Clayton‘s Case against the Bank As per S 61 of Indian Contract Act.

10. A cheque payable to a partnership firm should not be accepted for credit of a

private / personal account of a partner without the consent of the other partners. Though the transaction is not prohibited by law, the failure to query the circumstances under which the money of the principal is being credited to the account of an agent may amount of negligence. The bank may be held liable to the true owner of the cheque for conversion.

11. We do not pay in cash the cheques drawn in favour of a company or their

Managing Directors / Directors etc. It would be difficult at the time of cash payment to know the validity of the authority for giving discharge on behalf of the company. As such these are credited to the company‘s account; as the bank is the appropriate repository for cheques favoring companies. In the case of case payment of such cheques, the paying banker may be held liable to the company (true owner). The bank will deprive of the protection available to collecting banker u/s 131 of NI Act.

12. A cheque drawn by the director of a company can be paid even after his

death if it is otherwise in order. As the director was not a constituent of the bank. The cheque was drawn by him under an authority / mandate, i.e. in the representative capacity. A company is a legal entity, having perpetual succession, on whose behalf the cheque was drawn by the director. Therefore, the death, insolvency or lunacy of the director does not affect it.


13. Cheques drawn by the customers are not paid after the receipt the notice of

their death. As per Section 201 of Indian Contract Act, Agency and mandates are terminated / withdrawn / revoked / cancelled on the death of the principal.

14. Account opening campaign for SB A/c and CA A/c are launch by bank time to

time. To enlarge the existing base of these accounts. To improve CASA deposits of banks, that will improve the CASA ratio and cost of the deposit of the bank.

15. When crossing is cancelled, bank will take utmost care while payment of the cheque across the counter. When crossing is cancelled, the amount is paid to the drawer or his known agent only, as per IBA decision. The possibility of forging the signature of the drawer on the cheque is not ruled out; the bank must take utmost care while making payment of these cheques over the counter.

16. The deposits of the bank should be invested and lent prudently.

Bank lending is made out of the resources of deposits most of which are repayable on demand. Therefore, a bank is required to maintain liquidity at all times by prudent lending and investment practice. Bank is required to pay interest to depositors out of its interest earnings on advances, which require to be safe and sound.

17. Payment of TDR of Rs.20000/- and above, should be made by crossed cheque or routed through a bank account, otherwise bank will be liable. As per S 269 of the IT Act if the amount of the term deposit is Rs.20000/- or more it must be paid by an account payee cheque or by credit to depositor‘s bank account. This measure has been introduced to curb benami transactions and prevent tax evasion.

18. A garnishee order is not applicable to the items in Safe Custody or Safe

Deposit Locker with the Banks. Garnishee order is applicable to moneys in the hands of the garnishee (Bank) i.e. debtor of the judgment debtor. In this case, the relationship between the banker and Customer is that of debtor & creditor. Safe custody is entrustment of valuables for the specific purpose of safe keeping the articles (bailment) it is not attachable by garnishee order

19. One locker is always kept vacant. This will enable the branch to interchanging of wards before letting out a surrendered locker to another hirer. This contingency will happen in case all the lockers are hired out & one locker is surrendered.


FOR AND AGAINST PROPOSITIONS

1. SBI has entered insurance business. For: The insurance sector has lot of potential to be tapped. It is profitable. Our Bank‘s brand equity, large network will be advantageous to gain reasonable market share.

Against: This will result in the loss of existing business. Existing customers coming for other than insurance business will be dissatisfied. Our Bank staff members are hardly equipped with the required expertise.

2. Our Bank should not conduct Government business. For: Branches are very much crowded and hence, high value Personal Banking customers do not prefer to deal with us.

Against: Bank earns sizeable commission on Government business. The Bank enjoys floating funds on account of Government business. It enables us to have access to Government employees / officials so that our P segment business will be increased.

3. The head “Charges” should not be available at branches. For: It enables the controllers to have better control over the expenditure of branches. Better accountability will be established.

Against: Branches have to make expenditure regularly for smooth functioning of the branches.

4. Inefficient staff should compulsorily be retired / retrenched. For: It improves the efficiency and profitability of the Bank as well as customer service. Efficient and enthusiastic staff at lower levels will get chance to get promoted to higher positions.

Against: It affects the morale of the staff. It will bring in industrial conflict. Large sums may have to be paid as compensation.

5. Efficient employees should be rewarded and inefficient employees should be punished. For: It acts as an incentive to improve profitability.

Against: Ad hoc policies may not have lasting effect as inefficiency has multiple causes.

6. CRR should be abolished. For: This enables the Banks to have additional funds which can be profitably utilized.

Against: CRR enables the Banks to meet depositor‘s demand for cash. It is an effective tool for RBI to regulate money supply, control inflation.

7. The names of Bank‟s defaulters should be publicized. For: This enables other Banks to avoid lending to such defaulters. This acts as a deterrent to the willful defaulters.

Against: Sick units which can be rehabilitated will be affected as their credit would be damaged by such adverse publicity. The Banking secrecy laws have to be amended.


8. New Banks should be floated.

For: The existing Banks can‘t cater to the needs of the total population in India. New banks will instill competition so that quality of service will improve. New customer-friendly products will be introduced.

Against: Many of the existing Banks are not performing well and burdened with NPAs. The prevailing competition, among existing Banks, is already high.

9. 5-day banking should be introduced. For: Bank employees are already overburdened and more holidays enable them to get rejuvenated. This enables them to discharge their role better in their family. Transactions through alternate channels are also increasing.

Against: Banking industry has emerged as an important utility service for the community and hence, banking services should be available all the time. It may be difficult for the Banks to beat the competition.

10. Subsidies in the economy should be immediately abolished. For: It is not fair to tax one section of the society and to provide benefits to another section. Subsidies became a burden on the economy. Because of the subsidies, sectors where investment is needed for the development of the economy, are being affected adversely.

Against: The purchasing power of the poor is very low and hence subsidy for essential consumer items has to be provided to them. All people are not getting equal opportunities for development.

11. Right to work should be made a fundamental right. For: Unemployment among people leads to frustration and poverty. Young people might be tempted to take to anti-social activities.

Against: Due to lack of resources, Government is not able to provide work to all the people. It is the duty of every citizen to ensure that he works for himself and his family.

12. The nationalized Banks should be privatized. For: Customer service has deteriorated after nationalization. Under private sector, better accountability would be established. Management control would also be better.

Against: Priority sector and weaker sections will be affected. Welfare of the employees will take back seat.

13. Income tax must be abolished. For: Industry and individuals will have better incentive and motivation to work and earn and save. This enables the Banks to attract huge sums of deposits.

Against: The Government will lose a substantial source of income so that, to that extent, welfare schemes and investments needed in important sectors will be affected.

14. Mergers and acquisitions should be encouraged. For: Small Banks will find it difficult to manage the risks. It will be easier for regulators to control the Banks. It is international practice.

Against.: Mere merger will not solve problems like NPAs, unproductive branches etc. It is difficult to deal with HR issues.


15. Employees have the fundamental right to strike. For: An individual employee is weak and powerless as against the employer. Hence strike has emerged as a collective weapon of Labour to protect their interests against exploitation.

Against: Now, society became dependent on services provided by Labour and hence, any strike will affect the smooth functioning of society. It may become a practice by Labour to threaten the employer to satisfy their vested interests.

16. Public sector Banks should not be in the ambit of CBI / CVC. For: Because of the fear of CBI, credit decisions are being affected. Bank executives have to take reasonable risks for business growth and development.

Against: Corruption is prevalent in society and Banking transactions are financial transactions and hence, Bank officials may fall prey to corruption.

17. Credit cards are ruining the credit culture in the society For: Due to intense competition, due diligence is not being done. Easy availability of credit and lavish life styles have got the young people debt-trapped. Default rate will go up.

Against: It is an easy, hassle-free mode of credit dispensation. It is well-established mode of credit delivery in developed nations.

18. Incentives should be given to the employees who are involved in recoveries of NPAs. For: This will give a boost to recovery of NPAs. It serves an incentive to staff.

Against: Other activities like marketing, processing etc. will not get desired attention. We already have avenues like DRT, ARCs, SARFAESI Act for recovery of dues.

19. Banks should introduce performance-linked pay for their staff. For: This will lead to better performance by each employee. There will be a great

improvement in customer service and business. Uniform salaries have affected the

desired level of productivity.

Against: Productivity will be varying depending upon the technology used, training imparted, expertise in specific areas. all working conditions are not uniform for all employees.

20. Cross selling affects banking business For: The core activities viz., deposits, advances, recovery of NPAs etc. will not be given desired attention and hence, customer service, to that extent, will be affected. Bank employees have already been overburdened with the existing business.

Against: As Banks are viewed as financial supermarkets and hence, all financial products should be offered by Banks. It is a profitable business.


21. Alternate channels should be encouraged. For: Transaction cost will be reduced for Bank and therefore, profit will be increased. Customers can do the transactions on their own without any need to stand in the long queues for hours together. It is almost impossible to offer all our services through branches establishment of which will cost the Banks very much.

Against: As customers will not be approaching branches and hence, it will be difficult for Banks to have knowledge about the customers‘ needs. Customers will lose humane touch as they will deal with machines / systems only. Complaint management system, in case of any hardship faced by customers, is not fully established.

22. Number of transactions in SB accounts being done through branches should be restricted. For: It diverts the customers towards alternate channels so that, transaction cost will be reduced and thereby, profits will be increased. It enables the branch staff to concentrate on other activities viz. marketing, recovery of NPAs, book keeping etc.

Against: Illiterate customers, customers who are not comfortable with alternate delivery channels will have to pay the cost for approaching branches. Customers will stop coming to branches and therefore, Banks will not come to know of the customers‘ needs and accordingly, business will not grow.

23. Loss making branches should be closed. For: Such branches are a drain on the Bank‘s resources. Their continuance will further affect the profitability of Banks. Optimum utilization of man power can be established by shifting them to profit-making branches.

Against: This will affect the morale of the depositors. New strategies should be evolved to make these branches productive and profit-making.

24. Banks should market housing loans aggressively. For: It is profitable and highly secured. NPA is negligible.

Against: Interest rates have become very low due to unhealthy competition. As the volumes have increased, in case the economy enters a bad phase, the salary earners may not be able to service the loans. Selling of houses mortgaged to the Bank may be difficult.

25. Banks should be exempted from the operation of the Limitation Act. For: It will eliminate the need for obtaining revival letters which is a time-consuming task. Bank staff can concentrate on other profitable activities viz marketing etc.

Against: Bank staff may become complacent and may not contact the customer for recovery. Legal claims should be asserted within a reasonable time and cannot be kept alive forever.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

1. A ―Famous‖ branch is working smoothly since last 3 years. Suddenly, on Monday, a

mechanical failure occurred. It is the first week of the month. There are number of

customers waiting in the banking hall. There is uncertainty regarding repairs. How you will

handle the situation as a frontline officer?

2. Smt. A, an old lady aged 60 years, requests that after her death the Bank should allow

Shri B, her eldest son to operate on her account without any difficulty. How will you deal

with the request of the lady?

3. Mr. A, your valued constituent has given standing instructions for payment of Rs.

3000/- every month on third to his wife Mrs. B. the bank has carried out the instructions

regularly. But in the month of April 2010, there was a balance of Rs. 1500/- only in the

account. Hence the standing instruction could not be carried out in that month. On 10th

April 2010, Mr. A deposited a sum of Rs. 5000/- in his account. In the absence of specific

instructions, whether the Bank should now remit Rs. 3000/- [S.I of 03.04.2010]? If the

bank carries out the old S.I and subsequently a cheque for Rs. 5000/- drawn on the

account is presented on 15-4-2010 and is dishonored on account of insufficient balance,

whether the Bank is liable?

4. M/s X, a firm having A, B and C as partners, maintains an account with your branch to

be operated by any two of them jointly. Shri B asks you to stop the operations on the

account due to some dispute with other partners. How will you act?

5. Ms. PQR reported to your branch that her husband is not traceable for the last 2 yrs

and she is facing hardship. There is a fixed deposit for Rs. 1 lac in the name of her

husband in which she is nominee. She wants to claim payment of the deposit. As Branch

Manager how you will help her?

6. Shri. A, your valued constituent, has drawn a bearer cheque for Rs. 1000/- in favour of

Ku. M, his daughter, aged 14 years. The cheque is presented by her at the counter for

cash payment. The ledger keeper raises doubt whether the amount of the cheque can be

paid to a minor. How will you clear the doubt?

7. A cheque drawn by Miss M wherein amount in figures is written as Rs. 10800/- and in

word as Rupees Ten thousand eight only, is presented by another constituent of your

branch. There is sufficient balance in the account. What will you do?

8. Mr. Krishna, an Accounts Officer with BHEL, approaches your branch for taking a DD

for Rs.10,000/- favouring BITS, Pilani. He has been taking drafts for similar amounts quite

frequently in the last 6 months. What would you enquire with Sri Krishna, and what

suggestions would you make to him as an officer of the Bank?


9. Mr. X maintains a cheque-operated Savings Bank account with your Branch. He suffers

from paralysis and is hospitalized. He cannot use his right hand but requires Rs. 10000/-

urgently to pay hospital bills. As a Branch Manager, how can you help him?

10. A cheque presented to you through clearing bears the special crossing stamps of the

Indian Overseas Bank and Central Bank of India. There is sufficient balance in the

account to meet the cheque. Whether will you pay or return the cheque?

11. When the position of the accounts of a Partnership firm and its partners are as under,

an IT Attachment Order is received on the firm‘s name for Rs.80,000/-.

• Firm‘s Current Account Balance Rs.50, 000 (Cr)

• Partner – 1 Current Account Overdraft Rs.5, 000 (Dr)

12. A revolving L.C for Rs 1,00,000/- has been established. Two draf

ts amounting to Rs 25000/- were received and paid under the L.C. When a third draft for

Rs 10000/- is received under L.C, importer requests the bank not to pay the draft since

the goods received in consignment is not in good condition. Discuss.

13. A cheque for Rs. 5000/- drawn by Miss M in which the crossing has been cancelled

/opened and authenticated by the drawer, is presented by a gentleman for cash payment

on the counter.

How will you deal with the situation?

14. A cheque for Rs. 750/- drawn by your customer is presented by the payee on the

counter. He ascertains from the ledger keeper that the balance in the drawer‘s account is

Rs. 700/- only thereafter deposits a sum of Rs. 60/- in the account. Then he presents the

cheque and gets the payment. Subsequently, a cheque for Rs. 600/- is presented for

payment by the drawer himself. He finds that the balance in the account is Rs. 10/- only.

He files a civil suit against the bank. Please discuss.

15. Shri. X the payee of a draft payable at your branch, reports that the draft is lost. He

requests you to stop payment of the draft. The same day the draft is presented by Central

Bank of India through clearing. The draft is purportedly endorsed by the payee and

collecting banker has also guaranteed the endorsements as ―First payee‘s endorsement

confirmed; Second payee‘s account will be credited on realization‖. Would you pay the

draft or return it?


16. A,B & C are partners and availed an OD of Rs.5,00,000/-. ‗A‘ died, when the balance

in the OD a/c is only Rs.2,10,000/-. After receiving the notice of death, a cheque for

Rs.90,000/- came up for clearing. What will you do?

17. It is brought to your notice by the cashier that five one thousand rupee notes bearing

political slogans of a political party, are received for deposit in account. These notes are

otherwise in order. What shall be your advice to the cashier in respect of these notes as a

branch manager?


SUGGESTED ANSWER KEY FOR SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

1. This is a peculiar situation. There is an approved ―Disaster Prevention & Business

Continuity Plan‖ at the branch. As per this plan, we will start routine banking transactions

with the help of status list. We will also appraise the customers and request them to co-

operate us in this situation and assure them that the problem will be rectified immediately.

We will keep all the vouchers separately and make the data entry after repairs. If the time

required for repairs is more than one day, then we will try for alternate arrangement from

a nearby branch or ITS dept.

2. Knowledge /notice of death of constituent preclude the bank from debiting his account

from the date of receipt of such notice. The mandate / authority would automatically

cease to operate after the death of Smt. A and as such Shri B, her eldest son, would not

be allowed to operate on the account.

In order to deal with her problem, she should be advised to open a joint account with the

son in the style of ‗Former or Survivor‘. Alternatively she may be advised to avail the

nomination facility.

3. While given standing instructions, the customer undertakes that he will maintain

sufficient funds in the account. The S.I is to be carried out on a specific date. On that

date, if there is insufficient balance, there is a breach of contract by the customers, and

that Bank is under no obligation to carry out the S.I on a later date. Instead the Bank

informs the factual position to the customer.

In the given case, the Bank should not carry out the pending S.I . Instead, the intimation

of non-compliance should be sent to Mr. A. If the Bank carries out it and subsequently the

cheque for Rs. 5000/- is dishonored, the bank will be held liable for having acted

negligently in the absence of the specific instructions of the customer.

4. As per section 18 of the Partnership Act, every partner is the principal and also an

accredited agent of the firm and of other partners and therefore Shri. B can serve the

notice and can stop the operations on the account. Accordingly, the operations on the

account must be stopped by the Bank immediately until and unless a fresh mandate, duly

signed by all the three partners, is received.


5. The settlement of claims in respect of missing persons is governed by the provision of

Section 108 of the 'Indian Evidence Act, 1872'. As per the provisions of section 108 of

the Indian Evidence Act, presumption of death can be raised only after a lapse of seven

years from the date of his /her being reported missing. As such, the nominee /legal heirs

have to raise an express presumption of death of the missing person under section 108 of

the Indian Evidence Act before a competent court. If the court presumes that he/she is

dead, then a certificate to that effect is issued and the claim in respect of missing person

can be settled as is done for any other deceased accounts.

With a view to alleviate hardship to claimants in respect of Missing Persons, it has been

decided to entertain small value claims without a valid death certificate. In line with the

RBI instructions, it has been decided that the claims up to a threshold limit of Rs 100000/-

(Rs one Lac only) will be entertained without insisting for valid death certificate. All such

claims in respect of missing persons, reported missing for a minimum period of one

year, shall be settled on production of the following documents.

1. FIR

2. Non-traceable report issued by the police authorities.

3. Indemnity from the claimant.

The AGM (Admin) of the respective region will be the authorized authority to settle such

claims.

The claims in respect of missing person above Rs 100000/-- may be settled as per the

existing instructions i.e. after getting court order from the competent court.

6. As per Section 11 of the Indian Contract Act, a minor is incompetent to enter into a

valid contract. But as per Section 26 of the Negotiable Instrumental Act, ―A minor may

draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate any negotiable instruments so as to bind all parties

except himself‖. As such, a minor can become the payee of a cheque.

Hence there is no harm making payment of the cheque in due course to Ku. M, provided

it is otherwise in order.

7. Section 18 of Negotiable Instruments Act reads: ―If the amount undertaken or ordered

to be paid is stated differently in figures and words, the amount stated in words shall be

the amount undertaken or ordered to be paid‖.

Pursuant to Section 18 and the directives of the Indian Banks‘ Association, the bank is

discharged by paying the cheque with the amount expressed in words. Therefore in the

instant case, the Bank should pay Rs. 10008/- as expressed in words, if the cheque is

otherwise in order and is presented in due course.


8. I would:

Ascertain if the remittance was for the studies of his ward in Pilani Enquire about arrangements made for financing the education of his ward, and

whether he needed any Student Loan, whether his ward maintained an SB account with our branch or the branch at Pilani. I would persuade him to open one, if not already having one.

Highlight the facilities available through ATM Cards, Internet Banking, Core Power to make transfer of funds easier and cost-effective for him, instead of taking DD

Try to cross sell products of SBI Life such as Super Suraksha, or Edushield (in case he is interested in Student Loan), etc.

Persuade him to take a credit card with an add-on card for his ward On the whole, project an image of a customer-friendly Bank, keen to serve its

customers better

9. Left hand thumb impression of Mr. X should be obtained on the withdrawal form in the

presence of Bank official and the attending doctor. The witness of a Magistrate is

desirable. In addition attending doctor‘s certificate certifying the situation should be

obtained. After completion of these formalities, the amount should be paid to the

depositor or his known agent. (In case the depositor has lost both his hands in an

accident, he should be asked to authorise some person for operations on the account by

a verbal statement before a magistrate and the statement should be certified under the

Court seal. On the basis of this statement, the authorized person should be allowed to

operate on the account).

10. Section 127 of the Negotiable Instruments Act reads: ‖Where a cheque is crossed to

more than one banker, except when crossed to an agent for the purpose of collection, the

Banker on whom it is drawn shall refuse payment‖.

Pursuant to the above section, the cheque in question should not be paid at all and the

same should be returned for the reason ‗Cheque crossed to two banks‘.

11. The attachment is enforceable on the accounts of the both the firm and its partners. If

there is any shortfall in the balance in the firm‘s account, all the partners should bear it in

equal proportion. The accounts, therefore, debited as under and the amount paid to the

I.T authorities.

• From the account of the Firm (entire balance) Rs.50,000/-

• From Partner – 1 (as there is no credit balance) Nil

• From Partner – 2 (1/3rd of the shortfall i.e., Rs.30,000/-) Rs.10,000/-

• From Partner – 3 (Entire balance as it is less than 1/3rd) 8,000/-


12. According to Article 5 of the UCPDC, the Bank deals in documents and not in goods

covered by the documents. Therefore if the documents are in order the bank can debit the

amount to the customer‘s account. The customer has to take up his remedy with the

exporter

13. In case of a cheque whose crossing has been opened, the amount should be paid to

the drawer only or to his known agent (as the payment of such a cheque may put us in

uncalled trouble if subsequently it transpires that the crossing was opened/cancelled by

forging the drawer‘s signature). In the interest of the bank and the drawer, the presenter

should be asked to produce an express letter of authority from the drawer, Miss M, to that

effect.

14. The bank exercises no control over the receipts in the account. As such, if the amount

of a cheque is within the balance outstanding, the bank is under obligation to make the

payment thereof, provided the cheque is otherwise in order. If the disclosure of

information by a person other than the drawer is proved, the bank can be held liable for

the loss sustained by the drawer by such unauthorized disclosure.

15. A bank draft is the bank‘s own commitment to the payee. It is a negotiable instrument

and the bank is bound to pay it when presented by a bonafide holder, provided it is

otherwise in order. As the collecting banker has also guaranteed the first payee‘s

endorsement, the bank is protected under Section 85-A of N.I. Act and discharged by

payment in the due course to Central Bank of India. Therefore, the request of Shri. X

should not be acceded to.

16. It will be returned with a remark, ―A, a partner in the partnership since deceased‖. If

the cheque is paid by Bank, Clayton‘s rule will become operationalised & hence legal heir

/ estate of deceased will be no longer liable even if there is a provision to continue the

Now the question arises, what is the secret of the longevity and imperishability of Indian culture? Why is it that such great empires and nations is Babylion, Assyria, Greece, Rome and Persia, could not last more than the footprints of a camel in the shifting sands of the desert, while India which faced the same ups and downs, the same mighty and cruel hand of time, is still alive and with the same halo of glory and splendour? The answer is given by Prof. J. B. Pratt of America. According to him Hindu religion is the only religion in the world which is 'self-perpetuating and self-renewing.' Unlike other religions 'not death, but development' has been the fate of Hinduism. Not only Hindu religion but the whole culture of the Hindus has been growing changing and developing in accordance with the needs of time and circumstance without losing its essential and imperishable spirit. The culture of the vedic ages, of the ages of the Upanishads, the philosophical systems, the Mahabharata, the Smirities, the Puranas, the commentators, the medieval saints and of the age of the modern reformers is the same in Spirit and yet very different in form.

Now the question arises, what is the secret of the longevity and imperishability of Indian culture? Why is it that such great empires and nations is Babylion, Assyria, Greece, Rome and Persia, could not last more than the footprints of a camel in the shifting sands of the desert, while India which faced the same ups and downs, the same mighty and cruel hand of time, is still alive and with the same halo of glory and splendour? The answer is given by Prof. J. B. Pratt of America. According to him Hindu religion is the only religion in the world which is 'self-perpetuating and self-renewing.' Unlike other religions 'not death, but development' has been the fate of Hinduism. Not only Hindu religion but the whole culture of the Hindus has been growing changing and developing in accordance with the needs of time and circumstance without losing its essential and imperishable spirit. The culture of the vedic ages, of the ages of the Upanishads, the philosophical systems, the Mahabharata, the Smirities, the Puranas, the commentators, the medieval saints and of the age of the modern reformers is the same in Spirit and yet very different in form. Its basic principles are so broad based that they can be adapted to almost any environment of development.

MOCK TEST FOR CONFIRMATION FROM JMGS I TO MMGS-II PART-B: DESCRIPTIVE:

COMPREHENSION OF A NOTE/PROPOSAL IN DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS & ANSWERING QUESTIONS : 30 marks It is a strange that, according to his position in life, an extravagant man is admired or despised. A successful businessman does nothing to increase his popularity by being careful with his money. He is expected to display his success, to have smart car, an expensive life, and to be lavish with his hospitality. If he is not so, he is considered mean and his reputation in business may even suffer in consequence. The paradox remains that if he had not been careful with his money in the first place, he would never have achieved his present wealth. Among the two income groups, a different set of values exists. The young clerk, who makes his wife a present of a new dress when he hadn‘t paid his house rent, is condemned as extravagant. Carefulness with money to the point of meanness is applauded as a virtue. Nothing in his life is considered more worthy than paying his bills. The ideal wife for such a man separates her housekeeping money into joyless little piles- so much for rent, for food, for the children‘s shoes; she is able to face the milkman with equanimity and never knows the guilt of buying something she can‘t really afford. As for myself, I fall into neither of these categories. If I have money to spare, I can be extravagant, but when, as is usually the case, I am hard up, then I am the meanest man imaginable.

1. In the opinion of the writer, a successful businessman: (a) is more popular if he appears to be doing nothing. (b) should not bother about his popularity. (c) must be extravagant before achieving success. (d) is expected to have expensive tastes.

Ans : ________

2. The phrase lavish with his hospitatlity signifies: (a) miserliness in dealing with his friends. (b) considerateness in spending on guests and strangers. (c) extravagance in entertaining guests. (d) indifference in treating his friends and relatives.

Ans : ________

3. We understand from the passage that: (a) all mean people are wealthy (b) wealthy people are invariably successful. (c) carefulness generally leads to failure. (d) thrift may lead to success.

Ans : ________


4. It seems that low paid people should: (a) not pay their bills promptly. (b) not keep their creditors waiting. (c) borrow money to meet their essential needs (d) feel guilty if they overspend

Ans : ________ 5. The word paradox means: (a) statement based on facts. (b) that which brings out the inner meaning. (c) that which is contrary to received opinion. (d) statement based on the popular opinion.

Ans : ________

6. How does the housewife, described by the writer, feel when she saves money? (a) is content to be so thrifty. (b) wishes life were less burdensome. (c) is still troubled by a sense of guilt. (d) wishes she could sometimes be extravagant.

Ans : ________

7.Which of the following is opposite in meaning to the word applauded in the passage? (a) Humiliated (b) Decried (c) Cherished (d) Suppressed

Ans : ________

8. The statement she is able to face the milkman with equanimity implies that: (a) she is not upset as she has been paying the milkman his dues regularly. (b) she loses her nerve at the sight of the milkman who always demands his dues. (c) she manages to keep cool as she has to pay the milkman who always demads his dues. (d) she remains composed and confident as she knows that she can handle the milkman tactfully.

Ans : ________

9. As far as money is concerned, we get the impression that the writer: (a) is incapable of saving anything (b) is never inclined to be extravagant (c) would like to be considered extravagant (d) doesn‘t often have any money to save.

Ans : ________


10. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage? (a) Extravagance leads to poverty (b) Miserly habits of the poor. (c) Extravagance in the life of the rich and the poor. (d) Extravagance is always condemnable.

Ans : ________

Write an appreciation letter to a Branch under your control (as a Regional

customers to Alternate Channels.

ADDRESS OF REGIONAL OFFICE IN


To,

The Branch Manager

State Bank of India

…... ......... . Branch

RBO/HR Letter No: 31/2017-18 Date:

18.0

Madam/Dear Sir,

CASE STUDIES /SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS SIMULATING PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN THE BANK ENVIRONMENT.

40 marks 4 questions

1. A cheque drawn in favor of Sri Ram Kumar marked with „Not Negotiable

crossing‟ is paid to the credit of Sri Mohan Kumar‟s Account, an

endorsee. Discuss the position of Paying Banker.

As per Sec 130 of NI Act, Not negotiable crossing does not restrict the

transferability of the cheque. It can be further transferred by endorsement and

delivery. However, the transferee of the cheque does not get better title than the

transferor. Thus, the words ‗Not Negotiable‘ are only a caution for the transferee to

accept such cheques from well known parties or after being satisfied with his/her

title to the cheque. Thus paying banker is justified in making payment of the

cheque and crediting Sri Mohan‘s Kumar account if otherwise in order.

2. On random scrutiny of some of the SB accounts in your branch, the

central office inspector informs that proper details of PAN number is not

recorded in respect of many accounts, where huge amounts of

transactions are taking place. What is the implication of this situation on the

Bank as a whole? How to rectify the position?

Single Annual Information Return (AIR) in respect of savings accounts with

cash deposits of Rs.10 lakhs or more in a financial year is required to be filed at

the whole bank level to revenue authorities. Non-reporting/non availability of PAN,

in such cases where the aggregate cash deposit per annum is Rs 10 lakh or

more, is not acceptable to the Revenue authorities. They have desired the PAN to

be quoted for almost all the transacting parties reported in the AIR barring Govt.

Accounts. The purpose of the return itself is defeated as the information provided

cannot be processed when PAN is not provided/incorrect PAN is provided and

address of transacting party is incomplete or not provided.

It is quite evident from the above that the situation prevailing in our branch

creates a great amount of embarrassment and poor image of our Bank before

CBDT authorities. To improve the situation, we may identify those accounts and

arrange to obtain PAN from those parties. Then the data in CBS will be updated.


3. X, Y and Z are the partners of a firm. The firm is availing an overdraft limit of Rs 5 lakh from your branch. You come to know from reliable source that Mr X died on 27th Jan 2011. Two cheques signed by Mr X are presented for payment on 28th Jan 2011. Cheques are dated prior to the date of death of Mr X and within 6 months from the date of issue. What actions you will take?

On receipt of information of death of a partner X in the firm, operation in the overdraft account with us should be stopped immediately in order to determine the liability of the deceased partner. Estate of deceased partner X will only be liable for payment of debt raised by the firm before his death. Moreover, if we fail to do so, clayton‘s rule will come into play. Any further credit in the account will reduce the liability of the deceased partner Mr. X. We should, therefore open a new current account in the name of reconstituted firm to facilitate the continuance of business pending sanction of suitable credit limits. Fresh mandate for operating the account by the surviving partners should also be obtained. Cheques drawn by deceased partner may be paid after obtaining confirmation of the surviving partners and not otherwise. 4. How will you deal with a cheque presented for payment if the amount in words and figures differ?

It has been provided in Sec 18 of NI Act that the amount mentioned in

words will be paid if the amount mentioned in figures is different from it. However, in practice such cheques are returned with the remark ‗amount in

words and figures differs, drawer‘s confirmation required‘.
