Whenever, any bank assures the customers to pay in different types of money and when the customer can sell the promise or transfer it to somebody else, it is called the fiduciary money. Commercial Bank Money Commercial Bank money or demand deposits are claims against financial institutions that can be used for the purchase of goods and services.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF MONEY DEMAND Demand for money is the desired holding of financial assets in the form of money: that is, cash or bank deposits rather than investments.

DEMAND AND SUPPLY CURVE The demand and supply curve for money can be represented as above 9

MONETARY STANDARDS OF MONEY A monetary standard is a set of institutions and rules governing the supply of money in an economy. These rules and institutions collectively constrain the production of money. Through its constraints on money creation, the standard indirectly acts on prices. 10

GOLD STANDARD- BIMETALLISM AND PAPER CURRENCY SYSTEM Gold standard: A gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic unit of account is based on a fixed quantity of gold. Three types can be distinguished: specie, bullion, and exchange. Bimetallism: Under Bimetallism, both gold and silver coins are standard coins. A ratio is fixed by law between their values, and the ratio is maintained by the currency authority. Coins of each of the two metals are unlimited legal tender. 12

PAPER MONEY A banknote (often known as a bill, paper money, or simply a note) is a type of negotiable instrument known as a promissory note, made by a bank, payable to the bearer on demand A country's official, paper currency that is circulated for transaction related purposes. The printing of paper money is typically regulated by a country's central bank/treasury in order to keep the flow of money in line with monetary policy. Paper money tends to be updated with new versions that contain security features that seek to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to create illegal copies. 13

Unit III Central Banking Evolution Definition concepts Functions qualitative methods of credit control 37

CENTRAL BANKING The last 25 years have been an eventful time for central banking. The Reserve Bank of India was established on April 1, 1935 in accordance with the provisions of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. It was originally constituted with a capital of Rs.5 cores. The entire share capital was contributed privately with the exception of the nominal value of Rs 2.2 lakh subscribed by the central bank. After independence, the reserve bank of India was nationalized. 38

EVOLUTION OF CENTRAL BANKING Reserve bank of India is central bank of India and regulates all the banks of India Warren Hastings felt that there is need of centralized bank in the country. It all started in late 18th century when first time in the history India. His recommendation didn't reach at a thoughtful conclusion of creating a central body to regulate the banking in India. Later when demand of central bank increased in the 20th century and Lord Keynes also recommended setting up a central bank. Reserve bank started its function from April 1 1935 under the Reserve bank of India Act 1934 39

CENTRAL BANK A central bank is an independent national authority that conducts monetary policy, regulates banks, and provides financial services including economic research. Its goals are to stabilize the nation's currency, keep unemployment low and prevent inflation. 41

Banker s Bank There are a number of commercial banks in a country. There should be some agency to regulate and supervise their proper functioning. Being the apex bank, the central bank (RBI) acts as the banker to other banks. In this sense, it bears the same relationship with commercial banks as the latter maintains with the general public. It gives advice to banks on good/sound banking practice. A central bank usually discusses government policy with them and reports back to the government. Thus, a central bank closely monitors the activity of commercial banks 44

Banker to Government The Reserve Bank of India acts as a banker, agent and a financial advisor to the Central Government and all the State Governments (except that of Jammu and Kashmir). As a banker, it carries out all banking business of the government. 1. It maintains a current account for keeping their cash balances. 2. It accepts receipts and makes payments for the government and carries out exchange, remittance and other banking operations. 3. It also gives loans and advances to the government for temporary periods. The government borrows money by selling treasury bills to the Central Bank. 45

Lender of last resort: When commercial banks fail to meet their financial requirements from other sources, they approach the central bank to give loans and advances as lender of the last resort. Central bank assists these banks through discounting of approved securities and bills of exchange. 47

Controller of Money Supply and Credit: Due to economic fluctuations, the Central Bank, i.e. RBI controls the money supply and credit in the best interests of the economy. As RBI has the sole monopoly in currency issue, it can control credit and supply of money. 48

Custodian of Foreign Exchange Reserves With the aim of facilitating foreign trade and payment and promoting orderly development and maintenance of foreign exchange market, a central bank acts as the manager of foreign exchange.

Clearing House As central bank holds the cash reserves of all the commercial banks, it becomes easier and more convenient for it to act as their clearing house. All commercial banks have their accounts with the central bank. Therefore, the central bank can easily settle claims of various commercial banks against each other, by making debit and credit entries in their accounts. 51

CREDIT CONTROL RBI controls money as well as bank credit. By controlling credit it works to stabilize prices and rates for credit exchange 52
