Para 5(ii)b explains that : "banking" means the accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawable by cheque, draft, order or otherwise. It further explains : Explanation: Any company which is engaged in the manufacture of goods or carries on any trade and which accepts deposits of money from the public merely for the purpose of financing its business as such manufacturer or trader shall not be deemed to transact the business of banking within the meaning of this clause

A bank could be a privately owned organization (a public limited company) or state owned, which: ?provides financial services ?receiving deposits of money ?lends money out of such funds ?Even can lend more than that available fund, when they raise funds from the market under permissible process. ?Some banks issue banknotes as legal tender (called Banks of issue – major function of Central Bank). ? ?offers ancillary services like rent safe deposit boxes, issue credit cards, provide ATM service etc.

?In one of the earliest codes of law, compiled by Hammurabi, king of Babylon (a part of modern Iraq) from 1792 to 1750 BC, several paragraphs were devoted to banking. ?By c 1000 BC in Babylon the transfer of bank deposits to a third party was common, and the palace or temple extended loans from its own assets.

?The Greeks established private banks, which accepted deposits and acted as agents in the settlement of debts. Pasion of Athens, a famous 4th-century BC banker, invested his own funds and those of his depositors in commercial ventures.
?Roman bankers acted as money changers, auctioneers, discounters and creditors; they formed a banking association and maintained something similar to a modern current accounts system. Continued……………….

?A semblance of banking system was devised around AD 1100 during the Crusade (AD 1095 to 1291) which was raging in Jerusalem for funding the fighting Catholics. ?But the root of modern day banking can be traced in Italy during the middle ages. ?The word Bank was derived from the Italian word Banco which means desk of more accurately bench. In the northern towns of Italy Bankers (say money lenders) used to transact their deals sitting on a bench in the open market and their set up used to be called “banco”. ?Later it was formalized and flourished in northern of Italy along with Renaissance i.e. during the 14th Century. ?Medici Bank of Florence run by Medici Family who led the Renaissance in Italy and produced three Popes was established in 1397 and was closed down in 1494. in 15th century it was the most respected bank of Europe.

What is Call Money Market ?Market in which bankers (& other participants) borrow (and lend) money to manage their treasury needs or for assets and liabilities is call money market. ?This is the market for very short term funds, ranging from ‘overnight’ to 14 days. known as money on call. The rate at which funds are borrowed in this market is called `Call Money rate'.

?The size of the market for these funds in India is between Rs. 60,000 million to Rs. 70,000 million, of which public sector banks account for 80% of borrowings and foreign banks/private sector banks account for the balance 20%. ?Non-bank financial institutions like IDBI, LIC, GIC, Mutual Funds etc participate only as lenders in this market, because of their huge short term cash positions. 80% of the requirement of call money funds is met by the non-bank participants and 20% from the banking system. ?The Brokers who deal between such lenders and borrowers are the Call Money Market brokers.

? The banks, who are authorized dealers of foreign exchange as licensed to do so by RBI, need to buy and/or sell foreign currency on a daily basis.

? The office of the bank which is entrusted with this job is called the ‘dealing room’ and the official who actually does the job is called the ‘forex dealer’ or only ‘dealer.’ This is the front office of the foreign currency business of the bank. ? Instead of the dealers themselves looking for who they can buy from or who they can sell to, a set of people/firms with required skill and proficiency come in between the dealers of two banks (authorized dealers) in a sell/buy foreign currency transaction. They are the Foreign Exchange Brokers.
? They too are licensed by RBI to carry on this business under set guidance and dos and don’ts. ?They receive their brokerage for the services rendered.
