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.

106 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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.

107 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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

EXERCISE-I

International Federation of Mankind. It is the utmost necessity of the world today, and all
those persons who wish to see all human beings happy and prosperous naturally feel it
keenly. Of course, at times, we all feel that many of our problems of our political, social

country to another, exchange goods, get information, and make an effort to spread their
good gospel among their fellow-men. In the past religious sects divided one set of people

But today when philosophical light has exploded the darkness that was created by
religious differences, and when scientific knowledge has falsified the theory of social
superiority and when modern inventions have enabled human beings of all religious views
and of all races and colours to come in frequent contact with one another, it is the
governments of various countries that keep people of one country apart from those of
another. They create artificial barriers, unnatural distinctions, unhealthy isola-tion,
unnecessary fears and dangers in the minds of the common men who by their nature
want to live in friendship with their fellow-men. But all these evils would cease to exist if

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.

124 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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.

125 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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.

126 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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.

It is our pleasure to have a sugar factory in this area. We take this opportunity to appreciate
your efforts in completing the commissioning of such a factory within short span of time.

We would like to advise you the following points for your information:

We serve more than 2500 Agricultural borrower who have availed loans for different
agricultural activities; most of the borrowers are progressive farmers.

Some of the farmers are facing problems in marketing their produce due to lack of any
support. You may be aware that sugarcane is predominately cultivated in the area and
most of our borrowers have availed finance for it.

Therefore, we request you to spare your valuable time to discuss the matter like
contract farming etc. in details, which will surely boost mutual business interest apart from
serving the farmers.

We will be visiting your office once we receive the communication about the date and time

Thanking you in anticipation.

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?

131 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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)
• Partner – 2 Savings Bank Accounts Rs.20, 000 (Cr)
• Partner – 3 Current Account Rs.8, 000 (Cr)
How do you appropriate?

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?

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?

133 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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.

134 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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/-

136 MARGADARSHINI- A GUIDE FOR PROMOTION ASPIRANTS : BY TEAM SBLC SECUNDERABAD


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
partnership after death of partner.

17. As per the provisions of Legal Tender (Inscribed notes) Act, 1964 any currency note
carrying any message of political character is not a legal tender. The cashier will be
advised not to accept such notes even if they are otherwise in order.

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

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.

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 28 th 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‘.
