3. WHATISBANKINGWHATISBANKING Banking, conventionally, is defined as the
acceptance of deposits of money from the public for
the purpose of lending or investment. These
deposits are repayable on demand or otherwise and
withdrawable by cheque, draft, order or otherwise.
Deposits are accepted from individuals as well as
from firms.
In sum, the nature of banking business can be
summarized in two words, i.e., “financial
intermediation”, which needs to be carried out
efficiently (both operational and allocation) for
stimulating the real sectors of the economy.
Another essential characteristic of Banks is that they
are highly leveraged and, hence, special and need to
be regulated for protecting the interest of
depositors.
