1. Unit – 2
Money & Banking
(6 Marks)

2. Introduction
• Exchange is of central significance in human life.
• An individual does not produce himself all that he
needs.
• For his existence, he depends upon many others
for the satisfaction of his wants.

3. Barter System of Exchange:
Meaning & Features
► Meaning of Barter System
• In the primitive stages of economic
development, human needs were very limited.
• The market transactions were limited to the
extent of mutual exchange of goods between
two or more individuals. This is barter.
• Barter means exchange of goods for goods.
Economic exchanges without intervention of
money are referred to as barter exchanges.
• The economy based on barter exchange is
called C-C economy.

4. Features of Barter System
• Barter system can be practical only if there is
“Double coincidence of wants” i.e., simultaneous
fulfillment of mutual wants of buyers and
sellers.
• If “double coincidence of wants” does not
exist, there will be huge ‘trading cost’.
• Trading costs refer to costs of engaging in
trade. They are –
(a) Search cost (b) Disutility of waiting
• With economic development, exchange
through barter became impractical.

5. Problems/ Drawbacks/ Difficulties of
Barter Exchange
(i) Lack of double coincidence of wants –
“Simultaneous fulfillment of mutual wants by buyers
and sellers is known as double coincidence of wants.”
In barter system there is lack of double coincidence of
wants.
Barter system can only work when both the persons
are ready to exchange each other's goods.

6. (ii) Lack of unit/ measure of value -
• In the absence of a common unit of measurement,
evaluation of goods and services is not possible.
• In the absence of common unit, proper accounting is
not possible.
• The value of each good would have to be expressed
in as many quantities as there are kinds and
qualities of other goods in the market.
(iii) Lack of divisibility – How to exchange goods of
unequal value? If a household wants to sell his cow
and get in exchange cloth equal to the value of half
of his cow, he cannot do so without killing his cow.
Thus, lack of divisibility of goods makes barter
exchange impossible.

7. (iv) Lack of store of value – In barter system,
it is difficult for the people to store wealth for future
use.
• The barter system does not provide for any
method of storing generalized purchasing power.
• It is difficult to store wealth in the form of goods
like cattle, wheat, potatoes etc.
• It involves costly storage, deterioration or
appreciation in the value of stored commodity.

8. (v) Lack of standard for deferred payments - Barter
system lacks a standard for deferred payments. It
creates problem in entering into contracts which
involves future payments because of lack of any
satisfactory unit.
• Borrowing and lending were difficult problems under
the barter system.
• As a result, future payments are to be stated in terms
of specific goods or services.

9. Evolution of Money
• Due to above limitations of the barter system, the
exchange process tends to be highly inefficient.
• It was to overcome these difficulties that money,
was invented by society due to increasing scale of
industrialization and commercialization.

10. Money evolved with time as follows:
(a) Commodity Money
Various types of commodities like
cows, seashells, leather etc. have
been used as medium of exchange.
(b) Metallic Money
Commodity money was replaced by
metallic money with growth of human
civilization. The mediums of exchange
were metals, particularly gold and silver.
(c) Paper Money
It was due to inconvenience in use
of gold and silver, that invention of
paper money facilitated huge
transactions requiring the use of money.
Paper money is regulated and controlled by RBI in India.

11. (d) Bank or Credit Money
Bank or credit money was invented
to make the transactions convenient
People started using credit money
like cheques, drafts etc.
(e) Plastic Money
It is in the form of debit and credit
cards which is used as medium of
exchange.
(f) e-Money
It is broadly defined as an
electronic store of monetary
value on a technical device that
may be widely used for making payments

12. Evolution of Money

economy through various credit control measures
like qualitative and quantitative measures. During
inflation, the supply of money is restricted and
during deflation, the supply of money is liberalized.

36. Credit Control Measures/Measures
of Monetary Policy

37. I. Quantitative measures – Quantitative measures
are meant to regulate the overall level of credit in the
economy through commercial banks. Quantitative
measures are also known as general or indirect
measures of credit control.
(a) Bank rate/Discount Rate – It is the minimum rate
at which the central bank of a country gives credit to the
commercial banks against approved securities to meet
their long term needs.
Inflation → Bank Rate Deflation → Bank Rate
(b) Repo Rate – It is the minimum rate at which the
central bank of a country gives credit to the commercial
banks against approved securities to meet their short term
needs.
Inflation → Repo Rate Deflation → Repo Rate

38. (c) Reverse Repo Rate – When the commercial banks
have surplus funds they can deposit the same with the
central bank and earn interest. The rate of interest paid
by the central bank on such deposits is called reverse
repo rate.
Inflation → Reverse Repo Rate
Deflation → Reverse Repo Rate
(d) Cash Reserve Ratio – It is the minimum
percentage of deposits of commercial banks (net
demand and time liabilities) which is kept with RBI.
Inflation → Cash Reserve Ratio
Deflation → Cash Reserve Ratio

39. (e) Statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) – It is the
percentage of deposits of commercial banks (net
demand and time liabilities) which every bank is
required to maintain with itself in the form of
designated liquid assets.
Inflation → Statutory Liquidity Ratio
Deflation → Statutory Liquidity Ratio
(f) Open Market operations - It refers to buying and

42. Money Creation by the Commercial
Bank (Credit Creation)
• Currency creation is done by the central bank of a
country, and demand deposits are created by the
commercial banks.
• Commercial banks create money in the form of
credit to the borrowers. Therefore, money creation
by the commercial banks is also called ‘credit
creation’ by the commercial banks.
• Credit creation by commercial banks depends upon
two facts:
(a) Amount of Primary/Initial Deposits
(b) Amount of LRR (LRR = CRR + SLR)

43. • Money creation or credit creation is the process of
expansion of credit through derivative deposits.
• The credit or deposits created by commercial banks
are called derivative deposits.
• A bank cannot lend more than primary deposits.
Total Money Creation = Primary Deposits x 1/ LRR
• Let us suppose that every bank has to keep a cash
reserve of 20% against its total deposits and its
primary deposit is Rs.1,000.
• Minimum reserve requirement or legal reserve ratio
(LRR) is assumed to be 20%.
• Total money creation will be: Rs.5,000.
(Primary deposit x 1/LRR)

44. Working of Money Creation by Commercial Banks
• So in every round 80% of derivative deposits go in
creation of credit and 20% go to reserves. The
• The process continues till the primary deposits of
Rs.1,000 is completely exhausted.

46. An Extra Mile
I. Why do People Hold Cash Balances?
Cash balances refer to the amount of money, public
intends to maintain for certain motives. The amount
depends on determinants affecting these motives:
(a) Transaction Motive Dm (T) = f(Y)
(b) Precautionary Motive Dm (P) = f(Y)
(c) Speculative Motive Dm (S) = f(Y)
II. Money Multiplier/Deposit Multiplier (m)
Money multiplier measures how many times the total
deposit would be of the initial/primary deposits, which is
determined by LRR.
m = 1
LRR

47. III. Monetary System in India
India at present follows the ‘Paper Currency
Standard ’ because here standard currency is made
of paper currency. This standard is also referred to
as ‘Managed Currency Standard’ because any
amount of notes can be issued with the minimum
back up of gold.
• Coins in India are limited legal tender.
• Paper notes in India are unlimited legal tender.
