Abstract

A bank is an institution, which deals in money. It means that a bank receives money in the form of deposits from the public and lends money for the development of trade and commerce.

It is very difficult to define the term "bank" or "Banker" precisely. Even the best authorities on banking have failed to provide a satisfactory definition of the term. This is because a modern bank performs numerous activities.

Dr. H.L. Hart defines a banker as "One who, in the ordinary course of his business, receives money which he repays by honoring the cheques of persons from whom or on whose account he receives it".

The Banking Companies Act of 1949, Section 5(b) defines banking as " accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits from the public, repayable on drafts, orders or otherwise", for it includes investment of money deposited which is withdraw able by cheque, this indicates that banking is different from private money lending or indigenous banking.

Section 6 of the Banking Companies Act of 1949 specifies a good number of business functions such as discounting, buying and selling, collecting and dealing business instruments like bill of exchange, hundies, promissory notes, drafts, bills of lading, warrans, debentures, and securities etc. Banks can also undertake buying and selling of foreign exchange including notes. The banks can

Also acquire, hold, issue, underwrite shares, debentures of business companies etc. The bank is prohibited in carrying out trading activities.
Thus, a banking institution accepts deposits and creates credit with a view to lend and invest.
