Maturity buckets are different time intervals (10 for the time being, namely next day, 2-7 days, 8-14 days, 15- 28, 29-90, 91-
180, 181-365 days, 1-3 years, 3-5 and above 5 years), in which value of an asset or liability is placed desending upon its
residual maturity
Mismatch position : When in a particular maturity bucket, the amount of maturing liabilities or assets does not match, such position is
called a mismatch position, which creates liquidity surplus or liquidity crunch position and depending upon the interest rate movement,
such situation may turnout to be risky for the bank.
Ceiling on mismatch position : Mismatches for cash flows for next day to 15-28 days' buckets to be kept to minimum (not to
exceed 5% for next day, 10% for 2-7 days, 15% for 8-14 days and 20% for 15-28 days, each of cash outflows for those
bRuoclekeotfsA).LCO : Asset-Liability Committee is the top most committee to oversee implementation of ALM system, to be headed by CMD
or ED. ALCO would consider product pricing for both deposits and advances, the desired maturity profile of the incremental assets and
liabilities in addition to monitoring the risk levels of the bank. It will have to articulate current interest rates view of the bank and base
its decisions for future business strategy on this view.

Banker’s BankRights

Banker’s BankRights:hasthree rights namely (i) Right of Lien (ii) Right of Set Off (iii) Right of Appropriation

Right of Lien:Lien is the right of creditor to retain possession of goods and securities belonging to the debtor till the debts due to
him (creditor) are paid. This right is available only on goods and securities and not on balances in the accounts. Lien entitles
retention of possession of goads but the creditor cannot sell the goods. Lien can be Particular lien (Sec 170 of the Indian Contract
Act) or General Lien. Right of General Lien, is available only to bankers, factors, wharfingers, attorneys (Section 171 of the Indian
Contract Act). Banker's Lien is also a general lien but it is an implied pledge because the banker has right to retain as well as sell
goods of the borrower after giving him reasonable notice.
For exercising right of lien, (a) the goods or securities and debt should be in the same right and same capacity (b) Loan should be
due or overdue and lawful (c) Reasonable notice is given. Further, Right of Lien is available on the goods and securities received in
the ordinary course of business. It is not available when the goods or securities have been deposited for a specific purpose; goods
received for safe custody or lying in safe deposit vault or goods left by the debtor negligently.
However, in the case of loans against pledge of jewellery, bank can exercise right of general lien on the ornaments left in the
possession of the bank after adjustment of the jewellery loan in case some other advance is outstanding.


Negative lien is a declaration from the borrower to the effect that securities/goods offered as security are not encumbered and
that the borrower will not create any charge over them without bank's permission. This undertaking does not create any charge in
favour of the bank and therefore advance against negative lien are treated as dean advance.


Right of Set off: Set off is the right to combine two or more accounts having debit and credit balance. It is not defined in any Act.
This right arises when two parties are debtor as well as creditor to each other i.e. one account should be in debit and another
account should be in credit. In the case of banks, this right arises when wants to combine its loan due from a borrower with his
deposit accounts. For exercising right of set off following conditions should be satisfied (i) Both accounts should be in same right
and same capacity (ii) The debt should be due and not accruing due. Reasonable notice should be sent to the depositor before
exercising set off. Right of set off can be exercised even in case of loans which are time barred. It can be applied on fixed deposit
when it matures and not on FD which is not due as yet. Similarly it can’t be applied for adjusting term loan or CC or overdraft
which are regular and not overdue. If a loan is in the name of an individual, set off can be exercised on credit balance in his
individual account and sole proprietorship account. Set off can not be exercised on deposit accounts which are held jointly with
other individuals, or partnership in which the borrower is partner, or client account maintained by a solicitor or account of minor
under guardianship where borrower is the guardian or on the credit balance of a trust in which borrower is trustee. If loan is in
joint names, set off can be exercised on credit balance in joint account as well as credit balance in individual accounts of joint
borrowers. If loan is in the name of a partnership firm then set off can be exercised on credit balance in the name of firm, partners
and any other partnership firm which has just same partners as are in the borrowing firm. For exercising right of set off, all
branches of a bank are considered as one.

Role concept and analysis

Role concept and analysis
Role refers to a set of expected behaviour patterns attributed to someone occupying a given position in an
organization. Role and position are different concepts. Role is a position a person occupies in an
organization and it is an obligational concept . Position is a relational and power related concept.
The concept of role widens the meaning of work and relationship of the employee with other significant
persons in the system. There are few important aspect of role such as role stagnation, inter-role distance,
role set conflict (which has various forms such as role ambiguity, role expectation conflict, role overload, role
erosion, role inadequacy, personal inadequacy etc.)
Important aspect of Role
Role stagnation When a person is promoted, he assumes a new role but if he fails in the new role, he
experiences role stagnation, even though he occupies a new role. In turn this causes
role stress. A senior clerk, when promoted as officer, may find himself in such a
situation, at times.
Inter-role distance If an individual occupies more than one role, there could be conflicts between the
roles. A branch manager also performs the role of husband and father at home.
When he is not able to give time to family, this creates stress.
Role set conflicts Different people have different expectation from one role. There is possibility of
incompatibility amongst expectation of others. It may then result into role ambiguity, role
expectation conflict, role overload etc.
Role ambiguity
When the individual is not clear about the expectations from him about the role this
is called role ambiguity. It may be in relation to activities, responsibilities, priorities or
general expectations.
Role expectation
conflict
When there are conflicting expectations or demand from a role, the role occupant
experiences conflict and stress. These expectations may come from boss, customer,seers
or subordinates.
Role overload When a role occupants finds that there are toomany expectations from the role. it may
occur when the role occupant lacks power or where there are large variations in the
expected output.
Role erosion
.
Where the role occupants finds that certain functions that he is perform are being
performed by someone else, having a different rol. It is individual's subjective feeling. In a
small bank an additional post of general manager has been created. earlier there was one
GMonly. The existing GM may start feeling that there is role erosion.
Resource inadequacy When the resources required for performance of a role are not adequacy, the role
occupant may experience the resource inadequacy.
When the role occupant finds that he does not have adequate skills, knowledge or
experience to perform the role effectively.
Personal inadequacy
Role isolation When role occupant finds that certain roles are closer to him and other at a distance,
the main criteria being the frequency and ease with which he could perform the role.

Theories of motivation very important for CAIIB ABM exam

Theories of motivation very important for CAIIB ABM exam

There are various theories of motivation such as:

Scientific management or Rational EconomicView

FW Taylor contributed much to this theory. Theory states that:
-Physical work could be scientifically studied to determine the optimal method of
performing a job.
-Workers can be made efficient by giving prescription.
-Workers would be willing to accept these prescriptions, if paid on a differential piece
work basis.


Human Relations Model


As per Elton Mayo, social contracts at workplace are important in addition to money.
Workers can be motivated by acknowledging their social needs and making them feel
useful and important.

Abraham
Maslow's
Need
Hierarchy Theory
He identified five levels of needs:
1:Physiological needs: Food, rest, exercise, shelter etc.
2:Safety needs: Protection against danger, threat, deprivation.
3:Social needs: Need for belonging, for association, for acceptance, for giving
and receiving friendship and love.
4:Ego/esteem needs: Need For self confidence, for dependence, for achievement,
for knowledge and need for status, recognition, appreciation.
5:Self-fulfillment or self-actualisation needs: To realise one's own potentialities, to
experience continued self-development, to be creative.

Frederick Herzberg's
Two Factor Theory
It states that there are two sets of motivating factors i.e. hygiene or maintenance
factors relating to job environment and other the motivators relating to contents of the
job.
Motivational factors include recognition, advancement, responsibility, achievement,
possibility of growth & work itself.
Maintenance factors include company policy and administration, technical
supervision, salary, job security, personal life, working conditions, status, interpersonal
relations with peers and supervisors.
It is based on existence, relatedness and growth (ERG). People have needs in a
hierarchy and these-needs determine the human behaviour. ERG theory has three
levels of needs compared to 5 in case of Maslow. As per ERG theory, more than oneneed
may be operative at one point of time rather than only one need as per Maslow
theory.


Clayton Alderfer's
ERG Theory

It is based on existence, relatedness and growth (ERG). People have needs in a
hierarchy and these-needs determine the human behaviour. ERG theory has three
levels of needs compared to 5 in case of Maslow. As per ERG theory, more than oneneed
may be operative at one point of time rather than only one need as per Maslow
theory.

Achievement
Motivation Theory

According to DC McCelland, there are three needs i.e. for achievement, for power and
for affiliation.

Victor H Vroom's
Expectancy Model

This theory is known by other names also such as instrumentality theory, path-goal
theory, valence-instrumentality-expectancy theory. As per theory, motivation is
determined by the nature of reward people expect to get as a result of their job. Man
being rational tries to maximize his perceived value of such rewards. There are three
elements in the model i.e. expectancy, instrumentality and valence (value a person
assigns to the desired reward).

James Stacy Adams'
Equity Theory

Theory proposes that motivation to act, develops after the person compares the
inputs / outcomes with the identical ratio in comparison to the other person. Upon
feeling inequity, the person is motivated to reduce it.


Lyman W Porter and
Edward E Lawler—
Performance
satisfaction Model
It states that the motivation does not equal satisfaction and performance. These are
all separate variables. Effort does not lead to performance directly. The reward that
follows will determine the satisfaction.


Reinforcement Theory. The consequences of an individual's behaviour in one situation influences that
individual's behaviour in a similar situation.

Personality Theories

Personality Theories


There are certain common patterns and variable that determine the personality of the people. Experts have
developed certain personality theories.

Psychoanalytical
Theory
Based on Freudian concept of unconscious nature of personality. Human behaviour
and motivation is outcome of psychoanalytic elements i.e. id, the ego and the super
ego.
Id is the foundation of unconscious.
Ego is conscious in nature and relates the conscious urges to the outside world.
Id demands immediate pleasure and Ego controls it. Super ego supports the Ego.
Trait Theory
There are many traits common to all but there are few traits that are unique to few.
On the basis of traits, people are described as aggressive, loyal, pleasant, flexible,
humorous, sentimental, impulsive etc.
Self-concept theoryPersonality and behaviour is determined by the individual himself. We have our own
image and our actions are consistent with such image (Carl Rogers). An employee
with a self concept of high intelligence, independence and confidence may not look
for such reinforcement techniques as monetary rewards.
Social learning
theory
Personality development is more a result of social variables than biological factors.
Much of human behaviour is learnt or modified by learning. Personality is the sum
total of all that a person has learned.

Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence
As per Daniel Goleman link between IQ test scores and the achievements in life is dwarfed (dusted) by the
totality of other characteristics that one brings to life. These characteristics are called emotional intelligence
(i.e. abilities such as being able to -motivate oneself and persist in the face of frustration, to control the impulse
and dealy gratification, to regulate one's moods and keep away distress from swamping the ability to think.
There are five components of emotional intelligence:
Self awareness: ability to recognize, understand, emotions and their effect on others.
Self regulation:ability to control disruptive impulse, to think before acting.
Motivation:Passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or status.
Empathy: Ability to understand emotions of others and treat people according to their
emotional reactions.
Social skills:Proficiency in managing relationships and building networks and ability to fund
common ground and build rapport.

GDP concepts

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): It is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced
within the territorial boundary of a country, using domestic resources, during a given period of time,
usually one year. Gross National Income (GNU) at Market Prices = GDP at market prices + taxes less
subsidies on production and imports (Net receivable from abroad) + Compensation of Employees (Net
receivable from abroad) +property income (Net receivable from abroad)
Gross National Product (GNP) is equal to GDP (+) total capital gains from overseas investment (-)
income earned by foreign national domestically
GNP = GDP + NR (Net income from assets abroad (Net Income Receipts)
GDP Computation
. According to the National Income Accounting, there are three ways to compute GDP:
1. Expenditure wise: Calculating the total expenditure of all the entities.
2. Income Wise : Calculating the total incomes received by factors of production — land, labour, capital
and entrepreneur.
3. Product Wise : Calculating the total production.
Expenditure Method: As per this method, GDP = consumption + Gross investment + Government
spending + - (Exports-Imports). GDP = C+I+G+ (X-M).
Consumption: This includes personal expenditures pertaining to food, households, medical expenses,
rent, etc. Gross Investment: Business investment as capital which includes construction of a new mine,
purchase of machinery and equipment for a factory, purchase of software, expenditure on new houses,
buying goods and services but investments on financial products is not included as it falls under savings.
Government spending : It is sum of government expenditure on final goods and services. It includes
salaries of public servants, purchase of weapons for the military, and any investment expenditure by a
government. It does not include any transfer payments, such as social security or unemployment
benefits.
Exports: This includes all goods and services produced for overseas consumption.
Imports: This includes any goods or services imported for consumption and it should be deducted to
prevent from calculating foreign supply as domestic supply.
Income Approach: As per this method, GDP is the sum of the following major components: (i)
Compensation of employees (ii) Property income (iii) Production taxes and depreciation on capital.
Compensation of Employees : It represents wages, salaries, and other employee supplements.
Property Income: It constitutes corporate profits, proprietor's incomes, interests, and rents.
Product Approach: As per this method, GDP is the value of final goods produced in the economy.
Real GDP or GDP at constant price: It is the value of today's output at some base year. Real GDP is
calculated by tracking the volume or quantity of production after removing the influence of changing
prices or inflation. It reflects the real growth.
Nominal GDP or GDP at current prices: represents the total money value of final goods and services
produced in a given year, where the values are expressed in terms of the market prices of eduh year.
Simply it is the value of today's output at today's price.
GDP at market prices measures the value of output at market prices after adjusting for the effect of
indirect taxes and subsidies on the prices. Market price is the economic price for which a good or service is
offered in the market place.
GDP at Factor Cost measures the value of output in terms of the price of factors used in its production.
Factors of production are land, labour, capital and entrepreneur they get remunerations in the form of
rent, wages, salaries, interest and profits are respectively.
GDP at factor cost = GDP at market prices — (indirect taxes — subsidies).
UTILITY OF GDP CONCEPTS
1. GDP is an 'aggregate' measure. it does not indicate any thing about how the GDP is distributed
among the population of the country. Per capita income, another derivative of GDP, also does not
indicate the pattern of income distribution. Thus, a country may have high GDP but much skewed
distribution of income. Such inequality in income distribution often leads to social tensions.
2. Like the inequality of income distribution among population, there could be regional disparity in GDP
with a few developed states contributing the most to the country's GDP and a majority of less
developed state economies contributing a meager.
3. Higher GDP does not necessarily imply higher welfare. Welfare is a wider concept which
encompasses development in all aspects of the society, e.g., health, education, sanitation, etc. India
has over time grown from a low GDP nation to high GDP nation, yet its social development indicators
are not commensurately favourable. Therefore, interpretation of GDP should always be
supplemented by_ some kind of Human Development Index (HDI) as developed by the.World Bank.
4. GDP does not reflect the total income of a country if the country is an export-oriented
=
economy like one of those South-East Asian economies. Gross National Product (GNP) is a more
accurate measure in this context, as it factors in earnings from the external sector.
5. Concept like GDP does not throw light on how much of the population is financially excluded or
included. Lower level of financial inclusion is today a global malady and therefore GDP measures
should be evaluated accordingly.
6. One of the newest concepts in GDP today is the 'green' GDP. A country may be achieving high GDP
but at the cost of its environmental degradation. Environmental issues in growth are quite pertinent
and sensitive matters today. Statisticians all over the world are busy with developing models which
can measure 'green' GDP.

MODERN THEORY: HICKS — HANSEN SYNTHESIS: IS-LM CURVE MODEL

MODERN THEORY: HICKS — HANSEN SYNTHESIS: IS-LM CURVE MODEL
1. Modern theory was propounded by Hicks and Hensen.
2. According to the theory, the interest depends upon saving, investment, liquidity preference and income.
3. The rate of interest according to the theory is determined by monetary equilibrium and income
equilibrium.
4. This theory is a synthesis between the Classical and Keynes' theories of interest.
5. It has propounded an adequate and determinate theory of interest through the intersection of what are
called IS and LM curves.
6. According to Hicks and Hansen, the classical and loanable funds theories amount to the same thing. The
difference between these two theories, i.e. classical and loanable funds, lies only in the meaning of savings.
7. IS curve is derived from various saving curves at various income levels together with the given
investment demand curve. This IS curve tells us what will be the various rates of interest at different levels of
income, given the investment demand curve and a family of saving curves at different levels of income.
8. LM curve is obtained from Keynes' formulation. The LM curve is obtained from a family of liquidity
preference curves corresponding to various income levels together with the given stock of money supply.
This is because as the level of income increases, people would like to hold more money under the
transactions motive. That is, the higher the level of income, the higher would be the liquidity preference
curve. With the given supply of money, the different levels of liquidity preference curves corresponding to
various levels of income would determine different rates of interest. This yields LM curve, which depicts the
various combinations of interest and income level, at which money market is in equilibrium.
9. Hicks and Hansen show that with the intersection of IS and LM curves, both the interest and income
are simultaneously determined. Thus the classical and Keynes' theories taken together help us in obtaining
as adequate and determinate theory of interest.
DERIVATION OF THE IS CURVE:
1 As the income rises, the savings curve shifts to the right and the rate of interest, which equalizes savings
and investment, falls.
2. Since, as income increases, rate of interest falls, the IS curve slopes downward.
3. IS curve relates the rates of interest with the levels of income at which intended savings and investment
are equal. In other words, the IS curve depicts the various combinations of levels of interest and income at
which, intended savings equal investment; goods-market is in equilibrium.
4. Since with the increase in income the savings curve shifts to the right, its intersection with the
investment demand curve will lower the rate of interest.
5. The level of income and rate of interest are inversely related. That is, the IS curve slopes downward.
6. Further, the steepness of the IS curve depends upon the elasticity or sensitiveness of investment
demand to the changes in rate of interest. A given change in interest will produce a large change in
investment and thereby cause a large change in the level of income.
7. Thus when investment demand is greatly elastic or highly sensitive to the rate of interest, the IS curve
will be flat (i.e. less steep). On the other hand, when investment demand is not very sensitive to the changes
in rate of interest, the IS curve will be relatively steep.
8. The *position of IS curve and changes in its level are determined by the level of autonomous
expenditure
such as government expenditure, transfer payments, autonomous investment. If the government
expenditure or any other type of autonomous expenditure increases, it will increase the equilibrium level of
income at the given rate of interest. This will cause the IS curve to shift to the right. A reduction in
government expenditure or transfer payments will shift the IS curve to the left.
DERIVATION OF THE LM CURVE FROM KEYNES' LIQUIDITY PREFERENCE THEORY
1. The LM curve can be derived from the Keynesian liquidity preference theory of interest.
2. Liquidity preference or demand for money to hold depends upon transaction motive and speculative
motive.
3. It is the money held for transactions motive which is a function of income. The greater the level of

income, the greater the amount of money held for transactions motive and, therefore, the higher the level of
liquidity preference curve.
4. A family of liquidity preference curves can be drawn at various levels of income. The intersection of
these various liquidity preference curves, corresponding to different income levels with the supply curve of
money fixed by the monetary authority, would give the LM curve that relates the rate of interest with the level
of income as determined by money-market equilibrium corresponding to different levels of liquidity
preference curve.
5. The LM curve tells us what the various rates of interest will be (given the quantity of money and the
family of liquidity preference curves) at different levels of income. But the liquidity preference curves alone
cannot tell us what exactly the rate of interest will be.
6. As income increases, liquidity preference curve shifts outward and therefore the rate of interest, which
equates supply of money with demand for money, rises.
THE SLOPE AND POSITION OF THE LM CURVE
1. The LM curve slopes upward to the right. This is because with higher levels of income, demand for
money (that is, the liquidity preference curve) is higher and consequently the money-market equilibrium, that
is, the equality of the given money supply with liquidity preference curve occurs at a higher rate of interest.
This implies that rate of interest varies directly with income
2. Factors that determine the slope of the LM curve include (i) Responsiveness of demand for money (i.e.
Liquidity Preference) to the changes in income and (ii) Elasticity or responsiveness of demand for money
(i.e., liquidity preference for speculative motive) to the changes in rate of interest.
3. As the income increases, demand for money would increase for being for transactions motive. This
extra demand for money would disturb the money-market equilibrium, and in order to restore the equilibrium
the rate of interest will rise to the level where the given money supply curve intersects the new liquidity
preference curve corresponding to the higher income level.
4. In the new equilibrium position, with the given stock of money supply, money held under the
transactions motive will increase whereas the money held for speculative motive will decline. The greater the
extent to which demand for money for transaction motive increases with the increase in income, the greater
the decline in the supply of money available for speculative motive.
5. Given the liquidity preference schedule for speculative motive, the higher the rise in the rate of interest,
the steeper the LM curve consequently.
6. According to Keynes' liquidity preference theory, r = f (M2,L2) where M2 is the stock of money available
for speculative motive and L2 is the money demand or liquidity preference function for speculative motive.
7. The second factor which determines the slope of the LM curve is the elasticity or responsiveness of
demand for money (i.e., liquidity preference for speculative motive) to the changes in rate of interest. The
lower the elasticity of liquidity preference with respect to the changes in interest rate, the steeper will be LM
curve.
8. On the other hand, if the elasticity of liquidity preference (money-demand function) to the changes in
the rate of interest is high, the LM curve will be relatively flat or less steep.
What brings about shifts in the LM curve?:
1. An LM curve is drawn with a given stock of money supply. Therefore, when the money supply
increases, given the liquidity preference function, it will lower the rate of interest at the given level of income.
This will cause the LM curve to shift down and to the right. On the other hand, if money supply is reduced,
given the liquidity preference (money; demand) function, it will raise the rate of interest at the given level of
income and therefore cause the LM curve to shift above and to the left.
2. The other factor that causes a shift in the LM curve is the change in liquidity preference (money
demand function) for a given level of income. If the liquidity preference function for a given level of income
shifts upward, this, given the stock of money, will lead to the rise in the rate of interest. This will bring about
a shift in the LM curve above and to the left. On the contrary, if the liquidity preference function for a given
level of income declines, it will lower the rate of interest and will shift the LM curve down and to the right.
Intersection of the IS and LM curves: Simultaneous determination of interest rate and income
1. The IS curve and the LM curve relate the two variables: (a) income, and (b) the rate of interest.
2. Income and the rate of Interest determined together at the equilibrium rate of interest are, at the point
of intersection of IS and LM curve.
3. At this point, income and the rate interest stand in relation to each other such that (1) investment and
saving are in equilibrium, and (2) the demand for money is in equilibrium with the supply of money (Le., the
desired amount of money is equal to the actual supply of money).
4. Thus, a determinate theory of interest is based on: (1) the investment-demand function, (2) the saving
function (or, conversely, the consumption function), (3) the liquidity preference function, and (4) the quantity
of moneyor, conversely, the consumption function),
5. According to Hicks and Hansen, both monetary and real factors, namely, productivity, thrift, and the
monetary factors, that is, the demand for money (liquidity preference) and supply of money play a part in
determining of the rate of interest. Any change in these factors will cause shift in IS or LM curve and will
therefore change the equilibrium level of the rate of interest and income.

INFLATION & RELATED TERMS

INFLATION & RELATED TERMS

1. Inflation: A situation of a steady and sustained rise in general prices is usually known as inflation.

Inflation is a state in which the value of money is falling i.e. prices are rising.

2. Cost-push Inflation: It arises due to an increase in production cost. Such type of inflation is caused by

three factors: (i) an increase in wages, (ii) an increase in the profit margin and (iii) imposition of heavy

taxation.

3. Demand- push Inflation: It arises as a result of strong consumer demand. When many individuals are

trying to purchase the same good, the price will inevitably increase. When this happens across the

entire economy for all goods, it is known as demand-pull inflation

4. Deflation: Deflation is the reverse case of inflation. Deflation is that state of falling prices which occurs

at that time when the output of goods and services increases more rapidly than the volume of money in

the economy. In the deflation the general price level falls and the value of money rises.

5. Disinflation: A fall in the rate of inflation. This means a slower increase in prices but not a fall in prices

6. Recession: A period of slow or negative economic growth, usually accompanied by rising

unemployment.

7. Stagnation: A prolonged recession, but not as severe as a depression.

8. Disinflation: A fall in the rate of inflation. This means a slower increase in prices but not a fall in prices.

9. Depression: A prolonged recession in economic activity. The textbook definition of a recession is two

consecutive quarters of declining outpur. A depression is an even deeper and more prolonged slump.
