Principles for Accepting Securities
In the employment of his funds, a banker generally attaches great significance to the
consideration of security. Banker largely depends on borrowed funds it means deposits:
therefore, it can’t afford to take undue risks. To safeguard its interest by bank takesecurities against advances. Great care is required on the part of banker while accepting a
security for securing its loans. While guarantying advances because of securities offered
by the customer the bank should observe the following basic principles:
Adequacy of margins
Liquidity of securities
Completion of documentation
Reliability Durability
Types of Securities
Primarily bankers rely on the character, capacity and capital of the borrower inensuring the safety of his funds. The viability of the project itself and its cash
generating, capacity ensure to a large extent the safety of the bank funds. But
the bank can hardly afford to take nay risk in this regard and hence reliance is placed on the tangible assets of the borrower. In case of default by the borrower
in repaying the loan, the banker’s interest is safeguarded if he over the tangible
assets of the borrower. Loan with such rights conferred upon the banker arecalled secured advances. In secured advances charges are created on the
tangible assets in several ways depending upon the nature of assets.
Pledge
Hypothecation
Mortgage
Lien
Charge
Pledge
The bailment of goods as security for payment of a debt or performance of
promise is called pledge. The relationship of a customer and banker in this caseis that of a pledger (customer) and pledge (banker). The person who acts on
behalf of the bank is called MUQADDAM. This is more risky for bank point of
view as compare to Hypothecation. The owner of the goods pledged remains
8/7/2019 Sarfraz MCB
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarfraz-mcb 7/24
with the borrower while the possession is with the banker. The possession may
be actual or constructive.
a) Actual Possession
When the goods are actually delivered to the bank for example in the case
of pledge of shares, share certificates are actually delivered to bank.
b) Constructive Possession
When the documents of title to the goods are delivered to the bank, dulyendorsed in favor of bank while the actual possession remains with a third party
for example storage company.
Hypothecation
An agreement to give a charge to goods or documents of title thereto without
conferring possession is called hypothecation. The goods are charged as a
security for a loan from the bank but ownership and possession remains withthe borrower. The security is granted by the borrower to the lender by a letter of
hypothecation, which contains the terms and condition of the hypothecationagreement.
As physical possession of goods remains with the borrower, the banker seeks
periodical stock reports from the borrower conforming full description and
value of the stock hypothecated.In order to prevent loss of stock by fire, theft and decoit etc. the borrower is
asked to get his stock insured. The hypothecated stock is liable to be inspected
by bank authorized person. In case of need, the banker may issue a stop order against the trading stock. The creditor has the right to take possession of the
hypothetical goods as and when desired.
Mortgage
“A mortgage is a charge which a borrower gives to a lender upon part or thewhole of his property”.
Mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immoveable property of
securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan,
existing or future debt or the performance of an engagement, which may giverise to a pecuniary liability. The transfer is called a mortgager and the
transferee mortgagee. The principle money and the interest of which the
payment is secured are called the mortgage money and the instrument by whichtransfer is affected is called the mortgage deed.
The main characteristics of the mortgage can be put as follows:
The mortgage does not transfer the ownership of property to the mortgage. He
(mortgagee) transfers only some of his rights as an owner.
Mortgage only relates to immovable properties, properties mortgaged should be specified by the mortgagee in the deed.
8/7/2019 Sarfraz MCB
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarfraz-mcb 8/24
The object of mortgaging the property is to give security for the loan to be
taken or already taken or performance of an engagement-giving rise to the pecuniary liability.
The mortgage needs not to be always given the actual possession of the
property.
The mortgager gets back all the rights regarding the mortgaged property on payment of the loan with interest due thereon.
Principles for Accepting Securities
1. Equitable Mortgage
where a person delivers to a creditor or his agent documents of title toimmovable property with the intention to create a security thereon, the
transaction is called a “Mortgage by title of Deposit deeds”.
2. Registered Mortgage
Under this mortgage the entry of mortgage in the registrar (Patwari) isnecessary. In his registrar he marks the property as mortgaged. So it cannot beused further to raise loan.
Lien
Lien has been defined as the right of a person to retain the asset of the borrower
until a debt due from him is repaid. Lien gives a person only a right is retaining
the possession of the asset and not the pwer to sell unless such a right isexpressly conferred by statute. There are two kinds of lien.
a) Particular Lien b) General Lien
a) Particular Lien
It is attached to some specific goods. It is the right to retain possession over those specific goods on connection with which the debt or liability arises. This
type of lien is restricted to those goods, which are the subject matter of the
contract and are liable demands of the person in the possession of these goods.
b) General Lien
A general lien entitles a person to retain possession of goods belonging to
another for a general balance of outstanding liabilities. It entitles the person in possession of goods to retain them until all claims or accounts of the person in
possession against the owner of the goods are satisfied.
Charge
Charge refers to the level of payment to the bank incase of liquidation of specific assets. Incase of company charge is recorded with SECP. The form
8/7/2019 Sarfraz MCB
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarfraz-mcb 9/24
which is used for the recording of charge is known Form 17 is used. To get the
information of charges on the assets of the company the bank is dependent on
search report which is available with SECP.There are of the three sorts:
1st
Charge Pari Passu Charge
Joint Pari Passu Charge
1. 1st Charge
If an organization has raised credit from only one bank such bank has first
charge in case liquidation or inability to repay loan.
2. Pari Passu Charge
If an organization has credit facilities from two banks the second bank can
create 1st pari passu charge after receiving the NOC from 1st bank. Now incaseof liquidation the bank that have 1st pari passu charge will recover its amount 1st
then 2nd
bank and so on. The concept of creating so much charges is calledranking.
3. Joint Pari Passu Charge
When more than one bank are involved in financing for an organization or
project, in this case all the banks create joint charge on the asset of theorganization and claim the amount in their proportion of financing.
Principles of Lending
Lending is very important portfolio of a commercial bank, which requires greatvigilance and technical skill on the banker. Some basic principles must be
strictly adhered to for successful lending and recovery of the funds advocated.
1. Safety
In this regard, following points must be considered to ensure good credit
decision.
a. Character of the borrower:
• Nature of the business
• Past record of borrowing and repayment
• General reputation enjoyed by the borrower
• Honesty and integrity of the borrower
b. Capacity of the borrower c. Capital of the borrower
d. Collateral Security
e. Conditionsf. Complacency
g. Carelessness
8/7/2019 Sarfraz MCB
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarfraz-mcb 10/24
h. Communication
i. Contingencies
j. Competition
2. Liquidity of the Security
It means the possibilities of recovering the advance in case of emergency because all the money lent by a bank is repayable on demand. If borrower does
not provide it on demand the banker must be asked to provide most liquid
securities at the time of lending to him.
3. Dispersal
The bank must lend to diversified sectors of the economy so that in case of
recession in one or two sectors, the loan may become doubtful of bad.
4. Repayment
The modes and source of repayment of borrowed funds from the borrower to
the banker must be determined and decided before advancing money. Cashflow statement in respect of borrower’s business must be prepared and other
financial statements must be analyzed properly.
5. Remuneration
as a banker lends from the deposit of the public, the bank will have to pay cost
of the deposits in the form of profit on deposits (saving, term, special), althoughcurrent deposits are received free of cost. Bank has to meet various expenses
from the mark upon advances, communication recovered on various banking
transactions and return on investment. As mark up on advances comprisesmajor part of the bank’s income, the rate of mark up must be at such level
which may enable the bank to meet such all expenses after keeping a
reasonable margin.
6. Suitability
The bank’s advances besides being extended to carefully selected borrowersmust confirm to the national economy policies devised by higher authorities. It
should not for speculative or hording purpose.
7. Duration
Commercial banks are required to meet the short-term working capital
requirement of a business enterprise. Therefore, the duration of the loan should
one to two years. Long-term loan should be discouraged by the commercial banks. Long-term loan violate the matching principles. Recovery and
management of short term credit is more convenient for a commercial bank.

Post Shipment Facilities
FBP (Negotiation)
Negotiation means discounting of bill of exchange. The bank
provides additional facility to its clients by providing the facility in
the form of negotiation of a bill. The bank purchases the bill
through negotiation and provides the funds against bill. The bank provides this facility after satisfying that there is discrepancy in the
document because after this facility this bill becomes the banker
property. The bill is discounted with full value of the invoice. The
negotiation is also called the FBP (Foreign Bill Purchased).
Now the question arises “Why the exporter discounting the bills of
exchange”? The reason is being that the exporter is sometime in the
8/7/2019 Sarfraz MCB
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sarfraz-mcb 16/24
shortage of funds after the shipment. The goods are exported to
other countries on a sight or usance based LC. The LC negotiation
is in the case of usance based LC in which time period involved.
Meanwhile the exporter has to make the various payments and meet
the various expenditure so in order to meet the need of business
requirement. The exporters avail this facility and discount the bill.
After discounting the bill the amount is credited to the parties
account. The discount amount is the expenses of the party and on
the other side is the income of the bank.
FAFB (Finance Against Foreign Bill)
This facility is available to the customer only if he has line of credit under
FAFB with bank. Bank proffered to give this to the customer when the export
is on contract basis instead of LC or there is discrepancy in the documents. The bank provides finance equal to the 90% of the invoice value.
FDBC (Foreign Bill)
Bank provides this facility to exporter when he has neither negotiated the billnor avail FAFB facility from the bank. The bank sends the documents for the
purpose of collection from the importer. When the amount is collected it is
transferred to the customer account after deducting some service charges.

cheques drawn by the customer so long as there is enough money to the credit
of the customer. The obligation may be extended by an agreement to theamount of overdraft agreed upon between the banker and the customer.
The bank does not pay any interest on these deposits as they ca be withdrawn
without notice. The bank here acts only as the custodian of money. It cannotemploy these funds due to fear of withdrawal. It has to keep a higher reserve
ratio to meet the demand liabilities.

Fixed or Time Deposit Account
Fixed and Time Deposit accounts are major source of funds of a commercial bank. Fixed or time deposits, as the name implies, are deposit kept with a bank
for a certain period of time. They are not payable on demand like the currentdeposit. They can only be withdrawn by the depositor after the specified period
of time which ordinarily various from three months to five years. The person or
firms, trust, religious bodies that have surplus funds keep the money with fixed
deposits with bank. The rate of interest on fixed deposits is higher than that of saving deposits and it varies with the time of deposit. The longer the duration

for which the amount the higher is the rate of interest and vise versa. The bank
on receipt of funds for time deposits issues a fixed deposit (FDR) receipt on a
specially printed form. This receipt is marked not negotiable.
Time deposit is kept with the bank by the customer to earn interest. At the
maturity of the loan, the bank pays the principle along with the interest with thestipulated period to the holder. The money kept in the time deposit is thus a
safe investment. The FDR’s are marked not negotiable which means that it
cannot be transferred by merely endorsement and delivery of the receipt.
Payment on Fixed Account Before Maturity
Sometimes the bankers oblige the customers by allowing the withdrawal of fixed deposits before the due date, but this is not the good practice and impairs
the bankers own cash resources. In such situations the customers forego the
interest around on the deposits or borrows the required money against the
security of its fixed deposits at a rate of interest, which is generally 2% higher than allowed rate on deposits.
Fixed deposits in joint names
Fixed deposits may be the joint names of two or more persons; the payment to
either of them will not discharge the bankers, unless authorized by all the jointdepositors.
