Internal Ombudsman Scheme 2018 Introduced For Scheduled Commercial Banks

Internal Ombudsman Scheme 2018 Introduced For Scheduled Commercial Banks

The Reserve Bank of India had, in May 2015, advised all public-sector and selected private and foreign banks to appoint Internal Ombudsman (IO) as an independent authority to review complaints that were partially or wholly rejected by the respective banks. The IO mechanism was set up with a view to strengthen the internal grievance redressal system of banks and to ensure that the complaints of the customers are redressed at the level of the bank itself by an authority placed at the highest level of bank’s grievance redressal mechanism so as to minimize the need for the customers to approach other fora for redressal.

As a part of this customer-centric approach, to enhance the independence of the IO while simultaneously strengthening the monitoring system over the functioning of the IO mechanism, RBI has reviewed the arrangement and issued revised directions under Section 35 A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 in the form of ‘Internal Ombudsman Scheme, 2018’. The Scheme covers, inter-alia, appointment/tenure, roles and responsibilities, procedural guidelines and oversight mechanism for the IO.

All Scheduled Commercial Banks in India having more than ten banking outlets(excluding Regional Rural Banks), are required to appoint IO in their banks. The IO shall, inter alia, examine customer complaints which are in the nature of deficiency in service on the part of the bank, (including those on the grounds of complaints listed in Clause 8 of the Banking Ombudsman Scheme, 2006) that are partly or wholly rejected by the bank. The implementation of IO Scheme, 2018 will be monitored by the bank’s internal audit mechanism apart from regulatory oversight by RBI. 

What is the Banking Ombudsman Scheme?
The Banking Ombudsman Scheme is an expeditious and inexpensive forum for bank customers for resolution of complaints relating to certain services rendered by banks. The Banking Ombudsman Scheme is introduced under Section 35 A of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 by RBI with effect from 1995. Presently the Banking Ombudsman Scheme 2006 (As amended upto July 1, 2017) is in operation. 

Which are the banks covered under the Banking Ombudsman Scheme, 2006?
All Scheduled Commercial Banks, Regional Rural Banks and Scheduled Primary Co-operative Banks are covered under the Scheme.

21 Banking Ombudsman centres: 


Currently, there are 21 Banking Ombudsman centres operating in the country. The 21 centres are located in different cities viz. Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kolkata, Mumbai (I), Mumbai (II), New Delhi (I), New Delhi (II), Patna, Thiruvananthapuram, Dehradun, Ranchi, Raipur, and Jammu.

LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP ACT - 2008

LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP ACT - 2008
Need for the New Corporate Entity – LLP

Concept, Condensed form of the Act
1. With the growth of the Indian economy, the role played by its entrepreneurs as well as
its technical and professional manpower has been acknowledged internationally.  It is
felt opportune that entrepreneurship, knowledge and risk capital combine to provide a
further impetus to India’s economic growth.  In this background, a need has been felt
for a new corporate form that would provide an alternative to the traditional partnership,
with unlimited personal liability on the one hand, and, the statute-based governance
structure of the limited liability company on the other, in order to enable professional
expertise and entrepreneurial initiative to combine, organize and operate in flexible,
innovative and efficient manner.
2.   The Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is viewed as an alternative corporate business
vehicle that provides the benefits of limited liability but allows its members the flexibility
of organizing their internal structure as a partnership based on a mutually arrived
agreement. The LLP form would enable entrepreneurs, professionals and enterprises
providing services of any kind or engaged in scientific and technical disciplines, to form
commercially efficient vehicles suited to their requirements. Owing to flexibility in its
structure and operation, the LLP would also be a suitable vehicle for small enterprises
and for investment by venture capital.
3.  Keeping in mind the need of the day, the Parliament enacted the Limited Liability
Partnership Act, 2008 which received the assent of the President on 7th January, 2009.
The salient features of the LLP Act 2008 inter alia are as follows:
(i) The LLP shall be a body corporate and a legal entity separate from its partners. Any two
or more persons, associated for carrying on a lawful business with a view to profit, may
by subscribing their names to an incorporation document and filing the same with the
Registrar, form a Limited Liability Partnership.  The LLP will have perpetual succession.
(ii) The mutual rights and duties of partners of an LLP inter se and those of the LLP and its
partners shall be governed by an agreement between partners or between the LLP and
the partners subject to the provisions of the LLP Act 2008.  The act provides flexibility to
devise the agreement as per their choice.  In the absence of any such agreement, the
mutual rights and duties shall be governed by the provisions of proposed the LLP Act.
(iii) The LLP will be a separate legal entity, liable to the full extent of its assets, with the
liability of the partners being limited to their agreed contribution in the LLP which may
be of tangible or intangible nature or both tangible and intangible in nature. No partner
would be liable on account of the independent or un-authorized actions of other partners
or their misconduct. The liabilities of the LLP and partners who are found to have acted
with intent to defraud creditors or for any fraudulent purpose shall be unlimited for all or
any of the debts or other liabilities of the LLP.

(iv) Every LLP shall have at least two partners and shall also have at least two individuals as
Designated Partners, of whom at least one shall be resident in India. The duties and
obligations of Designated Partners shall be as provided in the law.
(v) The LLP shall be under an obligation to maintain annual accounts reflecting true and fair
view of its state of affairs.  A statement of accounts and solvency shall be filed by every
LLP with the Registrar every year.  The accounts of LLPs shall also be audited, subject to
any class of LLPs being exempted from this requirement by the Central Government.
(vi) The Central Government have powers to investigate the affairs of an LLP, if required, by
appointment of competent Inspector for the purpose.
(vii) The compromise or arrangement including merger and amalgamation of LLPs shall be in
accordance with the provisions of the LLP Act 2008.
(viii) A firm, private company or an unlisted public company is allowed to be converted into
LLP in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Upon such conversion, on and from the
date of certificate of registration issued by the Registrar in this regard, the effects of the
conversion shall be such as are specified in the LLP Act. On and from the date of registration
specified in the certificate of registration, all tangible (movable or immovable) and
intangible property vested in the firm or the company, all assets, interests, rights,
privileges, liabilities, obligations relating to the firm or the company, and the whole of
the undertaking of the firm or the company,  shall be transferred to and shall vest in the
LLP without further assurance, act or deed and the firm or the company,  shall be
deemed to be dissolved and removed from the records of the Registrar of Firms or
Registrar of Companies, as the case may be.
(ix) The winding up of the LLP may be either voluntary or by the Tribunal to be established
under the Companies Act, 1956. Till the Tribunal is established, the power in this regard
has been given to the High Court.
(x) The LLP Act 2008 confers powers on the Central Government to apply provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956 as appropriate, by notification with such changes or modifications
as deemed necessary.  However, such notifications shall be laid in draft before each
House of Parliament for a total period of 30 days and shall be subject to any modification
as may be approved by both Houses.
(xi) The Indian Partnership Act, 1932 shall not be applicable to LLPs.


A brief overview
ü An LLP is a body corporate.
ü Apart from individuals, even body corporates may be partners.
ü Minimum two partners and two Designated Partners who must be individuals, but no
limit on the maximum number of partners. Designated Partners are liable for compliance.
If any compliance is not carried out, they will be liable for all penalties.
ü LLP may carry on any lawful business, trade, profession, service or occupation. Unlike
the Naresh Chandra Committee Report, the flexibility has been provided for LLPs to be
incorporated in such manner as they deem fit.
ü Inter se relationship, rights and duties between partners is governed by LLP Agreement
(which would also require to be registered). In the absence of agreement principles set
out in schedule 1 apply (general principles of equality, in terms of sharing of profits and
losses, etc).
ü The Name of the LLP must end with either the words ‘Limited Liability’
‘Partnership’ or the acronym ‘LLP’
· Agency: Every partner is an agent of the LLP and not of the other partners
· Unauthorised Acts: An LLP is not bound by unauthorized acts of any partner in dealing
with a third person provided such third person
(a) is aware that the acts are unauthorised; or
(b) does not know or believe that the partner is a partner of the LLP
v Wrongful Acts or Omissions: An LLP is liable for wrongful acts or omissions
of partners in the course of business of the LLP or with its authority–The
partner(s) committing such act or omission will be personally liable – Other
partners not to be liable for such wrongful act or omission.
v An obligation of the limited liability partnership is solely the obligation of the
limited liability partnership.
v The liabilities of the limited liability partnership shall be met out of the property
of the limited liability partnership. Accordingly, unlike the Texas first law, even
liability for debt is limited.
Right to share profits transferable
v Right of a partner to share profits is transferable (either wholly or in part)
v Transfer does not imply that the transferor/assignor has ceased to be a Partner
v Transferee/ assignee not entitled to participate in the management of the LLP
v Transferee/assignee not entitled to any information relating to transactions of LLP
v Statements of Accounts and Solvency: An LLP must prepare a ‘Statement of Accounts’

v Why is there a need for a statutory provision of this nature?
v Would this prohibit subordinate debt, where partners agree not to recover their debts
until external debt is paid off?
v Section 71 – The provisions of this Act would be in addition to, and not in derogation of,
the provisions of any other law for the time being in force.
v Therefore one would need to analyse provisions of various statutes governing professionals
to decide whether they can take advantage of this LLP.
v For instance, the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, provides uses in a number of places
the term “firm”, which would usually refer to a firm under the Indian Partnership Act,
1932. The said Act also prohibits companies from practicing as chartered accountants.
Are amendments necessary?
v For instance, for lawyers, under the Advocates Act, only Advocates can appear before
courts. As a firm is not a person in the eyes of law, a partnership firm is permitted. In
light of the LLP Act, where a firm would be treated as a person in the eyes of law with
perpetual succession, it is difficult to see how an LLP can be a firm under the provisions
of the Advocates Act, which could be recognised as having a right to practice. For instance,
even today, a lawyer cannot be part of a company and a company cannot be the lawyer
appointed for a client.
v Filing of accounts–Accounts of a firm is a private affair, except for disclosures which have
to be made to the income tax authorities Now accounts would have to be filed with the
Registrar.
v Would this be acceptable to the Indian legal firms, chartered accountants and other
professionals?
v One issue that arose in proposing a bill for limited liability partnerships was that paper
thin LLPs should not be permitted as they could completely undermine the credibility of
LLPs.
v At that point of time the Naresh Chandra committee had suggested that there should be
provisions for Compulsory Insurance under the LLP Act.
v The proposal has disappeared in the winds of changes.
v The entire proposal of LLPs is based on a one way street.
v While you can convert from a firm or a company to an LLP, there are no provisions for
erring and deciding to reconvert back into a partnership or a company.
v In such a case, the decision has to be well weighed realising that there is no “U turn”
available down the road.
v Section 27(4) of the Act states that the liabilities of a limited liability partnership shall be
met out of the property of the limited liability partnership.
v One issue that arises is whether this would preclude in any manner, lenders and contracting
parties from obtaining personal and corporate guarantees from the partners as a
precondition to providing any loans.
v The arguments against this is that the principles of a guarantee arise from contract law
and this would not preclude the application of such principles.
v The argument in favour of treating such guarantees as void is that this is a special law
that mandates that the liability is to be met out of the property of a limited liability
partnership.
v Perhaps the absence of the words “exclusively” or “only” would be a determinant in the
event any litigation happens around this point.
v Questions arise, whether like a traditional partnership, there could be paid partners,

Very important for JAIIB errors

Rectification of errors
Keeping in view the nature of errors, all the errors can be classified into the following
four categories:
Errors of Commission : These are the errors which are committed due to wrong posting
of transactions, wrong totalling or wrong balancing of the accounts, wrong casting of
the subsidiary books, or wrong recording of amount in the books of original entry, etc.
For example: Raj Hans Traders paid Rs. 25,000 to Preetpal Traders (a supplier of
goods). This transaction was correctly recorded in the cashbook. But while posting to
the ledger, Preetpal’s account was debited with Rs. 2,500 only.
Errors of Omission : The errors of omission may be committed at the time of recording
the transaction in the books of original entry or while posting to the ledger. These can
be of two types: (i) error of complete omission (ii) error of partial omission When a
transaction is completely omitted from recording in the books of original record, it is an
error of complete omission. For example, credit sales to Mohan Rs. 10,000, not entered
in the sales book. When the recording of transaction is partly omitted from the books, it
is an error of partial omission. If in the above example, credit sales had been duly
recorded in the sales book but the posting from sales book to Mohan’s account has not
been made, it would be an error of partial omission.
Errors of Principle : Accounting entries are recorded as per the generally accepted
accounting principles. If any of these principles are violated or ignored, errors resulting
from such violation are known as errors of principle. For example, amount spent on
additions to the buildings should be treated as capital expenditure and must be debited
to the asset account. Instead, if this amount is debited to maintenance and repairs
account, it has been treated as a revenue expense.
Compensating Errors : When two or more errors are committed in such a way that the
net effect of these errors on the debits and credits of accounts is nil, such errors are
called compensating errors. For example, if purchases book has been overcast by Rs.
10,000 resulting in excess debit of Rs. 10,000 in purchases account and sales returns

book is undercast by Rs. 10,000 resulting in short debit to sales returns account is a
case of two errors compensating each other’s effect.
Rectification of Errors
Errors can be classified into two categories for the purpose of rectification of errors-
Rectification of Errors which do not Affect the Trial Balance
The following errors do not affect the equality of the Trial Balance totals:
Errors of Omission: A transaction is omitted completely from the books so that there is
no debit and credit entry of the transaction, e.g. Drawings of Rs. 5000 cash by the
proprietor was not recorded.
Errors of Commission: An entry is posted to the correct side of the ledger but to the
wrong account, i.e. items have been posted to the wrong account of the same class,
e.g. Payment of Rs. 1000 cash by a customer A. John was wrongly posted to the
account of another customer, B. Johan.
Errors of Principle: An entry is made in the wrong class of account, i.e. when an
expense is treated as an asset and vice versa, e.g. Repairs to building Rs. 4000 was
debited to the Building Account.
Complete Reversal of Entries: An account that should be debited is credited and vice
versa, e.g. A cheque Rs. 2000 received from Sunita was debited to the account of Sunita
and credited to the Bank Account.
Compensating Errors: Errors (or error) on one side of the ledger are compensated by an
error (or errors), e.g. The Purchases Account and Sales Account were both overcast by
Rs. 1500.
Errors of Original Entry: The original figure may be incorrectly entered although the
correct double-entry principle has been observed using this incorrect figure, e.g. Credit
sales of Rs. 9650 to Ranjit was recorded in the Sales Account and Ranjit's account as
Rs. 6950.
Rectification of Errors which Affect the Trial Balance
Errors which are revealed by the Trial Balance are those errors which cause the Trial
Balance totals to be in disagreement.
Errors in Calculation: If there is any miscalculation of the Trial Balance totals or the net
account balances, the Trial Balance will not balance, e.g. There was an error in the
calculation of the cash balance, causing the Trial Balance totals not to balance too.
Errors in Omission of One Entry: Omission of either the debit or credit entry of a
transaction will cause the totals of the Trial Balance not to agree, e.g. A cheque Rs.
5000 received for commission was debited to the Bank Account only.
Posting to the Wrong Side of An Account: Entry into the wrong side of an account will
cause one side of the ledger to be more than the other, e.g. A cheque of Rs. 8000 paid
to creditor, K. Raj was credited instead of debited to his account.
Errors in Amount: If the debit entry of a transaction differs in amount with the credit
entry, the Trial Balance will not balance, e.g. Cash Rs. 9650 received from Anand was
debited to the Cash Account as Rs. 9650 and credited to the account of Anand as Rs.
6950.
...................................................
Capital and revenue expenditure
Capital expenditures are for fixed assets, which are expected to be productive assets for
a long period of time. Revenue expenditures are for costs that are related to specific
revenue transactions or operating periods, such as the cost of goods sold or repairs and
maintenance expense.
The differences between these two types of expenditures are as follows:
Timing - Capital expenditures are charged to expense gradually via depreciation, and
over a long period of time. Revenue expenditures are charged to expense in the current
period, or shortly thereafter.
Consumption - A capital expenditure is assumed to be consumed over the useful life of
the related fixed asset.

Size - A more questionable difference is that capital expenditures tend to involve larger
monetary amounts than revenue expenditures. This is because an expenditure is only
classified as a capital expenditure if it exceeds a certain threshold value; if not, it is
automatically designated as a revenue expenditure. However, certain quite large
expenditures can still be classified as revenue expenditures, as long they are directly
associated with sale transactions or are period costs.

BEP

BEP

Break even point can be defined as the business volume that balances total costs with total gains. At break even
volume, in other words, net cash flow equals zero.
How many product units must we sell to break even?
The simple break even formula below shows how these inputs produce the break even quantity Q. Suppose for
instance, a manufactured item is produced and sold with these values:
Q = F/(P-V)
F = Total Fixed costs = 1,60,000
v = Variable cost per unit = 20
P = Selling price per unit = X
Q = Break Even Quantity
In respect of a firm having fixed cost of Rs. 160000 and variable cost Rs. 20 per unit, what is the amount of selling
price, if break even no. of units is 4,000?
a. Rs. 20
b. Rs. 40
c. Rs. 60
d. Rs. 80
Ans - c
The formula finds the Selling Price per unit as follows:
4000 = 160000 / (X – 20)
4000 (X - 20) = 160000
4000X - 80000 = 16000 0
4000X = 160000 + 80000
X = 240000 / 4000
x = 60
So, the Selling Price per unit = Rs. 60
..................................
A firm sells 4000 units and earns profit of Rs. 80000. If fixed cost is Rs. 60000, what is the break even no. of units?
a. 2000
b. 2500
c. 3000
d. 3500
Ans - c
........... ..................................
A firm has been producing 4000 units of an item with its break even at 2000 units. Now it increases the no. of units
produced to 5000. What is the change in the break even no. of units ?
a. 3000
b. 2000
c. 1000
d. nil
Ans - d
........... ..................................
A company had selling price per unit of Rs.100. Its Break even point units are 2000. If variable cost is Rs.60, what is
the fixed cost?
a. Rs. 50000
b. Rs. 60000
c. Rs. 70000
d. Rs. 80000

At 40%, the capacity utilization break even point, the total no. of units produced is 5000. What is the no. of break even
units?
a. 1500
b. 1800
c. 2000
d. 2500
Ans - c
........... ..................................
A company is forced to sell its product at Rs. 90 due to competition, which it had been selling at Rs.100 earlier. There is
no change in the variable cost. Previously the Break even point units were 2000 and now 2667. What is the variable
cost, if fixed cost is Rs. 80000/-?
a. Rs 60
b. Rs 50
c. Rs.40
d. Rs.30
Ans - a

BALANCE SHEET

Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is a statement of a business’s assets, liability and net worth. It is normally laid out according to the
Companies Act formats although some bookkeeping and accounting systems produce documents in alterative layouts.
The purpose of a balance sheet is to show the type of assets a business has and then to describe how these have been
financed.
Fixed Assets
Assets shown on a balance sheet can be sub-divided in to intangible and tangible groupings. The former category
contains items such as goodwill, trademarks and research and development expenditure.
The valuation of these items is subjective as their true worth can only be known following a successful sale of either
the asset separately or the business as a whole.
Prudence and caution in assigning amounts to intangible assets might result in the balance sheet displaying them with
conservative valuations, far removed from what they are actually worth.
Tangible assets typically attract far more objective valuations as they exist usually as a result of a measurable transfer
or exchange on which a monetary value can be assigned.
Items within the category include furniture, machinery, computers and other assets which are typically used in a
business for a number of years.
Depreciation and Amortisation
Both intangible and tangible assets are usually subject to depreciation or amortisation which represents the usage of
those items during the year.
Different classes of assets may have varying periods over which they can be used, for example, a building will be
capable of serving the business for a longer time than a desktop computer would.
The depreciation of the computer would therefore be faster than the amortisation of the building. The reduction in the
asset’s value shown of the balance sheet would therefore reflect the expected useful life over and benefit which would
typically accrue to the business.
Current Assets
The term current assets is used to describe items which are held in cash or which have a high liquidity rate, for
example, shares and trade debtors.
This class of assets are shown below fixed items on the balance sheets and represent the working capital of the
business. Cash and other current assets are used to pay suppliers and other short term creditors so that the operations
remain solvent.
Where current assets are not available for this purpose, the business will be forced to liquidate some from the fixed
category which may in turn significantly curtain its ability to conduct its operations in the longer term.
Liabilities
For the purposes of this article liabilities will be used to describe all items involved in financing the business including
shareholders funds.
In order for the business to have commenced its operations it would have had to have received an injection of funds
from some source. This might have been from the entrepreneur’s own savings or alternatively from an external body
such as a bank or suppliers in the form of credit.
At any one time, it is likely that the business owes money to creditors for purchases it has made and perhaps to other
financiers of its operations. These amounts are depicted either current or long term liabilities.
Generally, those amounts form any source which are repayable within one year will be shown as current and those
which are due after this period will be described as long term.
Some money might be owed to the shareholders, partners or sole trader who provided the business with its initial
financing and expansion capital.
The distinction between owner l iabilities and those which are owed to third parties in reality show the amounts which
the business has some discretion over. It is unlikely that the owners would demand repayment of the sums of owed to

them to the detriment of the operations.
Other third party creditors however wo uld more likely be driven by self interest and would not have the long term
future of the business at the forefront of the decision of whether to claim payments for amounts owed to them.
Fixed Assets are the assets of permanent nature that a business acquires. Examples include machinery and equipment,
building, furniture, vehicles etc. These assets are not sold or purchased occasionally and therefore considered fixed.
You usually get them when starting your business and retain them for the life-time of your business or company (but it
depends on the asset life, too). However, these assets have more life than the long-term assets that usually last for a
year or more.
Current Assets are the receivables that are expected to be received within a year as per balance sheet. These include
any assets that are to be converted into cash within a financial year. Examples include cash, accounts receivables,
short-term investments, and other cash-equivalents.
Current Liabilities are the liabilities (or the business obligations/debts) that are payable within a year as per balance
sheet. These are the payments that are to be paid by a company within a financial year. Examples include accounts
payable, and short-term debts.
Tax Liability is the amount of tax payable on your annual income, sale of an asset etc. and is different from other types
of liabilities. Fixed assets have no direct influence on tax liability but if planned properly can reduce the overall tax
liability of a firm. If this liability is payable in a year, then tax liability is a current liability.

1)   TOD rate or Cash Rate Same day (it is also called ready rate)

TOM Rate Next working day
Spot Rate 2nd working day (48 hours)
Forward Rate After few days/months
· If Next day or 2nd day is holiday in either of the two countries, the
settlement will take place on next day. For example Spot deal is
stuck on 23rd Dec. 25th is Christmas Day and 26th is Sunday. Under
such circumstances, value date will be 27th i.e. Monday.
· There are two types of rates- Fixed and Floating. Floating rates are
determined by market forces of Demand and Supply. India
switched to Floating exchange rates regime in 1993.

2) Buy Low Sell High (Direct Quotations)
Buy rate is also called Bid Rate and Sell Rate is called Offer Rate.
Buy High Sell Low (Indirect Quotations)
· When Local Currency is fixed, bank will like to have more foreign
currency while buying and give less foreign currency while selling.

3) Direct Rates Indirect Rates
1 US $ = Rs.49.40 Rs.100 = US $ 2.51

DIRECT QUOTATION

In a direct quotation, there is a variable unit of the home currency and fixed unit of the foreign currency.
When it is quoted that 1 US = Rs.49.10, it is a direct quotation.With a view tomake profit, the rule
followed for quotation is buy low and sell high. For instance, if the US $ is purchased at Rs.48.90 and
sold at Rs.49.10, there will be gain to the dealer. By buying low, the dealer will be required to pay
lesser units of home currency and by selling high, he would receive more units of home currency.
INDIRECT QUOTATION
In an indirect quote, there is fixed unit of home currency and a variable unit of foreign currency.When
Rs.100 = US $ 2.04 is quoted, it is a case of indirect quotation. The principle followed in indirect

quotation to earn profit is to buy high and sell low. By buying high, the dealer will getmore US $ per
Rs.100 and by selling low he would have to part with lesser US $.

quotation to earn profit is to buy high and sell low. By buying high, the dealer will getmore US $ per
Rs.100 and by selling low he would have to part with lesser US $.

4) TWO WAY QUOTATIONS : Banks quote two rates in foreign exchange quotation out of which one is for

buying and the other for selling. For instance, when the quotation is US $ 1 = Rs.48.90 - 49.10, the buying

rate on the basis of principle of buy low and sell high, would be Rs.48.90 and the selling rate Rs.49.10.

The buying rate is also called a 'bid rate' and the selling rate as 'offer rate'.



5)CROSS RATES OR CHAIN RULE : When rate between two currencies is not directly available, it has

to be calculated through a 3rd currency which is called cross rate. This is done by using chain rule.

For example, US $ 1 = Rs.50.00 and US $ 1 = Euro 0.7500. Euro 1 = 50 / 0.75 = Rs.66.67

A bank is offered to purchase an export bill of Pound 100000 and the inter-bank rates are US $

1 = Rs.50.00/10 and Pound 1 = US $ 1.5000/10.

In this case, the bank will purchase pounds at given US $ rate of Rs.50 and deliver rupees to exporter.

Bank will sell pounds in London in inter-bank market at US $ 1.50. The amount will be worked with chain

rule. Pound 1 = 1.50 x 50 = Rs.75.



6) Date of Contract Delivery

   Date / settlement

date

                                       Rate to be used

Oct 12, 2008 Oct 12, 2008 Cash/ Ready Rate

Oct 12, 2008 Oct 13, 2008 Tom Rate

Oct 12, 2008 Oct 14, 2008 TT or Spot Rate

Exchangemargin—While selling or buying foreign exchange banks retain sufficientmargin to cover the

administrative cost, cover the exchange fluctuation and also tomake some profit on the transaction. This is

done by adding or reducing themargin fromthe prevailingmarket rate.



7) Forward Rates (Premium is  always added and Discount is always deducted from Spot Rate to

arrive at Forward Rate)

It is required when currency is exchanged after few months/days.

Buy Transactions :

Spot Rate (+ ) premium OR ( - ) Discount

( Lower premium is added OR Higher discount is deducted )

Sale Transactions:

Spot Rate (+ )Higher premium OR (-) Lower discount

(So that currency may become cheaper while buying and dearer while

selling

In India, Forward Contracts are available for Maximum period

of 12 Months.


Examples of

Forward rates

Euro 1 = USD$1.3180/3190

Forward differentials:

1M = 15/18, 2M= 30/37, 3M=41/49

Calculate 2M Bid rate and 3M Offer rate

2M Bid rate = 1.3180+.0030 = 1.3210

3M Offer rate = 1.3190+.0049=1.3239



8) ExchangeMargin::

Exchange margin is deducted while buying and added while selling.

9) Direct, Indirect &Cross Rates

Direct Rates

Foreign Currency is fixed ---say 1USD = INR 55.70

Indirect Rates

Local currency remains fixed---say Rs. 100 = 1.93 USD

At present, following 4 currencies are quoted in Indirect mode:

EURO, GBP, AUD and NZ$

Cross Rates

Cross rate is price of currency pair which is not directly quoted. It is arrived

at from price of two other currency equations.

1. Suppose bank hasto Quote GBP against INR, but in India, GBP is

not quoted directly. In India,

1USD =48.10 and GBP/USD is quoted as 1GBP= USD1.6000.

Therefore 1 GBP = 48.10X1.6 = 76.96

2. An Import bill of GBP 100000 has to be retired. Rates are:

1 GBP=1.5975/85 USD

1USD = 48.14/15 INR

TT margin =.20%

Here Cross selling rate of both currencies will apply.

Bank has to remit GBP. GBP/USD Quote (Indirect) will be available in

International market whereas USD/Rupee Quote (Direct) is available in

local market. Bank will sell USD to buy GBP.

While buying GBP, bank would like to quote higher rate as Buy high Sell

Low maxim will apply. 1GBP = 1.5985

While selling USD, bank will opt to quote higher rate as Buy Low Sell High

maxim will apply.

1GBP=1.5985*48.15 = 76.9675 + Margin@.20% = 77.1214 (say

77.1225)



10) Per Unit and 100

Unit Quotes

All currencies are quoted as per unit of currency whereas the following

currencies are quoted as 100 units of Foreign currency:

1. Japanese Yen

2. Indonesian Rupiahs

3. Kenyan Schilling.

4. Belgian Francs

5. Spanish Peseta

Intervening Currencies in India

1. US Dollar

2. British Pond

Cross Rates

where two

markets are

involved and

one of them is

international

market

Suppose, In India, 1USD=42.8450/545 and in UK, 1USD=.7587/.7590

EURO. The customer intends to remit Euro and he desires to know 1 Euro

= ? INR. We will buy Euro against sale of USD. (One is domestic market

and other is International market)

Calculation

Sell rate of 1USD = .42.8545 and Buy Rate of Euro is 1USD=.7587

.7587Euro = 1USD = INR 42.8545

1 EURO = 42.8545/.7587 = 56.48

In India, there is Full Convertibility of Current Account transactions.

Example Where one currency is bought and another currency is sold

A wants to remit JPY 100.00 million at TT spot with margin @.15%. Given

USD/INR at 48.2500/2600 and in Japan USD/JPY = 90.50/60

Solution:

We will buy Japanese Yen and sell USD and the rate to be applied is:

48.2600/90.50 = .533260 per JPY

Rate per 100 JPY = 53.3260 + Margin @.15%(.0799) = 53.4059 (say

53.4050)


Following 4 types of buying and selling rates are important:

1.    TT Buying rate

2.    Bill Buying rate

3.    TT Selling rate

4.    Bill Selling rate



In Interbank market, exchange rate is quoted up to 4 decimals in multiples of 0.0025. e.g. 1USD=53.5625/5650



For customers the exchange rate is quoted in two decimal places i.e. Rupees and paisa. e.g. 1 USD =Rs. 55.54.



Amount being paid or received will be rounded off to nearest Rupee.



TT Buying Rate


It is required to calculate when our Nostro account is already credited or being credited without delay e.g. Receipt of DD, MT, TT or collection of Foreign bills. This rate is used for cancellation of Forward Sales Contract.

Calculation



Spot Rate –  Exchange Margin



Bill Buying Rate     Bill Buying rate is applied when bank gives INR to the customer before receipt of Foreign Exchange in the Nostro account i.e. Nostro account is credited after the purchase transaction. In such cases.



Examples are:

·         Export Bills Purchased/Discounted/Negotiated.

·         Cheques/DDs purchased by the bank.

Calculation



Spot Rate + Forward Premium (or deduct forward discount) – Exchange margin.



TT Selling RateAny sale transaction where no delay is involved is quoted at TT selling rate. It is desired in issue of TT, MT or Draft. It is also desired in crystallization of Export bills and Cancellation of Forward purchase contract.



Calculation



Spot Rate + Exchange Margin



Bill Selling Rate     It is applied where handling of documents is involved e.g.  Payment against



Import transactions:

Calculation



Spot Rate + Exchange Margin for TT selling + Exchange margin for Bill Selling





Examples

Q. 1

Bank received MT of USD 5000 on 15th Sep. The Nostro account was already credited. What amount will be paid to the customer: Spot Rate 34.25/30. Oct Forward Differential is 22/24. Exchange margin is .80%

Exchange margin: 0.15%

Solution:

TT Selling Rate will Apply

Spot Rate = 34.3825                Add Exchange margin (.15%) i.e. 0.0516

TT Selling Rate = Spot Rate + Exchange Margin = 34.4341 Ans.



Q. 4On 12th Feb, received Import Bill of USD-10000. The bill has to retired to debit the account of the customer. Inter-bank spot rate =34.6500/7200. The spot rate for March is 5000/4500. The exchange margin for TT selling is .15% and Exchange margin for Bill selling is .20%. Quote rate to be applied.


Solution

Bill Selling Rate will be applied.


Spot Rate + Exchange margin for TT Selling + Exchange margin for Bill selling = 34.7200+.0520+.0695 = 34.8415 Ans.

Solution



Cross Rate will apply

USD will be bought in the local market at TT Buying rate and sold at Spot Selling Rates in

Singapore for French Francs:



TT  Buying Rates USD/INR = Spot rate – Exchange margin = 35.8500-.0287 = 35.8213 Spot Selling Rate for USD/Francs = 6.0340



Inference:



6.0340 Franc = 1USD

= INR 35.8213

1 franc = 35.8213/6.0340 = INR 5.9366 Ans.



(Both are direct quotations and Maxim Buy Low Sell High will apply in both)



Q.6 What rate will be quoted for repatriation of FCNR deposit (spot rate or TT rate) Ans. No rate as the amount is to be paid in Foreign currency itself.
