There are few general principles of good lending which every banker follows when appraising an advance proposal. These general principles of good lending are explained in this article. 1. Safety "Safety first" is the most important principle of good lending . When a banker lends, he must feel certain that the advance is safe; that is, the money will definitely come back. If, for example, the borrower invests the money in an unproductive or speculative venture, or if the borrower himself is dishonest, the advance would be in jeopardy. Similarly, if the borrower suffers losses in his business due to his incompetence, the recovery of the money may become difficult. The banker ensures that the money advanced by him goes to the right type of borrower and is utilized in such a way that it will not only be safe at the time of lending but will remain so throughout, and after serving a useful purpose in the trade or industry where it is employed, is repaid with interest . 2. ...

Advances by commercial banks are made in different forms such as demand loan, term loan, cash credit, overdraft etc. These forms of advances are explained below. 1. Demand Loan In a demand loan account, the entire amount is paid to the debtor at one time, either in cash or by transfer to his savings bank or current account. No subsequent debit is ordinarily allowed except by way of interest, incidental charges, insurance premiums, expenses incurred for the protection of the security etc. Repayment is provided for by instalment without allowing the demand character of the loan to be affected in any way. There is usually a stipulation that in the event of any instalment, remaining unpaid, the entire amount of the loan will become due. Interest is charged on the debit balance, usually with monthly rests unless there is an arrangement to the contrary. No cheque book is issued. The security may be personal or in the form of shares, Govt. paper, fixed deposit receipt, life insurance pol...

Need for Documentary Letter of Credit LC Normally, in international trade, the exporter may not be ready to take the risk of selling his abroad unless he is sure of getting his payment. Likewise, the buyer may not buy goods in international market from an unknown party due to risk of not meeting his requirements. Both these risks are quiet high, which may sometime result into major financial loss. This perception is not congenial to development of international trade. The seller, therefore, needs an assurance of payment on behalf of the buyer; similarly, a buyer would want somebody to ensure due performance by the seller as per the contract. Both the parties can feel satisfied, if a professional intermediator like bank lends his support by issuing Documentary Credit on behalf of the buyer (importer) in favour of the seller (exporter).
