English Quiz For Upcoming Exam 2015

Directions (Q. 1-10): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The RBI orders a moratorium when a bank’s financial stability is threatened. Depositors face some restrictions on withdrawing money from their accounts during this period. Currently the restriction is confined to premature withdrawal of FDs in case of Kapol Bank. Customers can still withdraw money from their savings and current accounts. However, the Banking Regulation Act has provisions for relief to customers facing a financial emergency. “Banks’ administrative board can approach the RBI with a plea for relaxing the withdrawal limits in case of account holders such as those who have saved or deposited money for their medical treatment or educational purpose and pensioners,” says VN Kulkarni, chief credit counsellor with the Bank of India-backed Abhay Credit Counselling Centre.

Since one cannot do much after the bank gets into trouble or the RBI comes into the picture, it would be wise to take some precautions. “Depositors need to be selective not only in choosing the bank, but also in depositing the amount using different combinations,” says Kulkarni. For instance, you can maintain the first deposit in your name, held jointly with your spouse or children. Similarly, the second joint FD could be created with your wife as the first holder. This will help you benefit from the deposit insurance cover extended to retail depositors.

Currently, deposits are insured up to `1 lakh per bank, and not per branch of the same bank. You can also look at maintaining FDs in more than one bank to spread out the risk.

However, this may not be feasible for some individuals. For instance, a retiree who wishes to invest her huge retirement corpus in FDs. “It is not feasible to split a huge amount of, say, `50 lakh into 50 deposits with different banks. Senior citizens have to strike a balance between convenience, risks and higher returns that some of the smaller banks offer,” says Suresh Sadagopan, certified financial planner and founder, Ladder7 Financial Advisories. He recommends diversification by investing in fixedincome options like company FDs, non-convertible debentures (NCDs) as also more secure alternatives such as tax-free bonds and senior citizens savings scheme, which offers an interest rate of 9.2 % . You must also evaluate the bank’s credentials carefully before parking your money in it. “While selecting the bank, you need to ascertain its gross NPAs. It should be not higher than 5%. Similarly, ensure that your bank has adequate capital as prescribed by the regulators,” says Kulkarni. “That is, minimum 9% of risk-weighted assets, and at least 12%, in case of cooperative banks.” You will find this information in the balance sheets of banks.
