investment purposes to individualsand others. However banks do not finance any

speculativeactivity. Lending is risk taking. The risk should be covered byhaving

prudent norms for lending. The depositors of banks arealso assured of safety of

their money by deploying some %ageof deposits in statutory reserve like SLR &

CRR.

VARIOUS TYPES OF DEPOSITS

BANK DEPOSIT

Banks basically offer two types of deposits:

Demand Deposit

Term Deposit

Demand Deposit - by its nature, are payable as and when the

depositor makes demand to pay.There are two types of

accounts which are demand deposit in nature. These are:

Saving AccountCurrent Account

Any amount can be deposited in these accounts at any time. Theamount deposited

or a part of it can be withdrawn any time byusing a cheque. However, banks

normally stipulate a minimumbalance to be maintained in this account.

Saving Account - is offered only to individuals and non trading

entities. Banks also pay interest on saving account. The interest

is paid on the minimum balance held in the account between the

10th and the last day of the month. The interest is paid on aquarterly basis. The rate of interest is determined by RBI.

Current Account - can be opened in the name of individual or

any firm or a company. No interest is paid on the balances held

in this account.

6/34

kept for a specific period and the money is repaid only of theexpiry of this period.

The interest offered on these depositsdepends upon the period of the deposit.

Banks accept termdeposits for periods ranging from 15 days to 10 years.

However,our bank accept deposit for a maximum period of 5years. Banksare free

to determine the interest rates on the deposits. Theinterest is normally paid outevery quarter. But at the request ofthe customer, the interest is paid every month

Fixed deposits are those where a fixed amount is deposited by

the customer for a certain period and interest on it is paid by thebank every quarter.

principle amount. In effect, the interest on areinvestment is paid along with theprinciple on maturity only.

History

The name Standard Chartered comes from the two original banks from

which it was founded and which merged in 1969 The Chartered Bank of

India, Australia and China, and The Standard Bank of British South

Africa.[3]

y Chartered Bank

Main article: Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China

The Chartered Bank was founded by Scotsman James Wilson following the

grant of a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1853.

Chartered opened its first branches in Mumbai, Kolkata and Shanghai in1858, followed by Hong Kong and Singapore in 1859.[3]The Bank started

issuing banknotes of the Hong Kong dollar in 1862. With the opening of the

Suez Canal in 1869 and theextension of the telegraph to China in 1871,

Chartered was well placed to expand and develop its business.[3]

y Standard Bank

Main article: Standard Bank (historic)

The Standard Bank was a British bank founded in the Cape Province of

South Africa in 1862 by another Scotsman, John Paterson.[3] Havingestablished a considerable number of branches, Standard was prominent

in financing the development of the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867

and laterextended its network further north to the new town of

Johannesburg when gold was discovered there in 1885.[3] Half the output of

thesecond largest gold field in the world passed throughThe Standard

Bank on its way to London.

Standard expanded widely in Africa over the years, but from 1883 to 1962

was formally known as the Standard Bank of South Africa. In 1962 thebank changed its name to Standard Bank Limited, and the South African

operations were formed into a separatesubsidiary which took the parent

bank's previous name, Standard Bank of South Africa Ltd.

percent of loan must be directed to priority sectors and the high

liquidity ratio and cash reserve requirements severely limit theavailability of deposits for lending. Since July 1993, foreign

banks like Standard Chartered have been require to make 32

percent of their loans to the priority sector. Within the target of 32

.RECOMMENDATIONS

1. STRONG NEEDS OF BRAND BUILDING

The bank needs to make a lot of marketing efforts. The level of

recognition that may be desired by any brand has not been

achieved by Standard Chartered Bank. A lot of noise is made

whenever a child is born and as long as that noise is not made the

doctors are not sure about life of that child. Same is the case in

marketing. Whenever a new branch comes into existence it is

necessary that they announce there birth. Here comes the pre-

launch exercises, and in similar in the case after the birth, thename has to be taken again. Boast about yourself , about the

strong points that you have over and above your competitors. Pull

the customers towards you. As said earlier it is a relationship of

trust and this trust can be generated through the better and better

performance of the bank. Now as working with the bank for some

time the fact have come out that they believein low costing and

want to keep low profile. So better way of marketing can be

sought which are low of cost. These are discussed further
