Q. 27. What do the banks do with the deposits which they accept from the public? Explain. 4

Ans. Banks keep a small proportion of their deposits as cash with themselves. These days banks hold about 15 percent of their deposits as cash. This is kept as provision to pay the depositors who might come to withdraw money from the bank. Since on any particular day, only some of its depositors come to withdraw cash so the bank is able to manage with the available cash.
Banks use the major portion of the deposits to extend loans. Banks make use of the deposits to meet the loan requirements of the people. In this way, banks mediate between those who have surplus funds (the depositors) and those who are in need of these funds (the borrowers). Banks charge a higher interest rate on loans than what they offer on deposits. The difference is the main income of the bank.
