Thus everyone prefers to receive payments in money and then exchange the money for things.
For example a shoe manufacturer wants to sell shoes in the market and buy wheat. He will first exchange his shoes for money and then buy wheat with the money.
But if the shoe maker has to directly exchange shoes for wheat without the use of money, he would have to look for a wheat growing farmer who not only want to sell wheat but also wants to buy the shoe in exchange.
This process is very difficult and time consuming. So money acts as an intermediate in the exchange process and eliminates the need for double coincidence of wants.

Or
Explain the role of credit in the development of the country.
People deposit money in the bank for which they get interest. The money is safe and their income increases.
Credit provided by the banks will help in production activities.
Farmers can take loans invest in land, buy better seeds, implements and increase their production.
Availability of cheap loans will also lead to industrial development which in turn will boost the economy and increase employment opportunities.
Credit provided by the bank will also help in development of international trade.
Government also takes up developmental projects and infrastructural development with the help of credit provided by the banks.
9. What are demand deposits? Why are demand deposits considered as money?
The deposits made by the people in the bank which can be withdrawn on demand as per the requirement is called demand deposit.
Demand deposits are called money because
A Person having demand deposit in the bank gets the cheque book.

So cheque is having the essential characteristics of money and is widely accepted as a means of payment. Hence demand deposits are considered as money.
10. How do banks mediate between those who have surplus fund and those who are in need of these funds?
Or
Explain the functioning of the Commercial Banks in India.
Or
Explain the loan activities of the commercial banks.
People having surplus money, deposit money in the bank and bank provides interest for the money deposited.
Banks hold some percentage of the deposit as cash called minimum cash balance. This is done to so as to pay to the depositors who might want to withdraw money from the bank on any given day.
Banks use the major portion of the deposits to extend loans for various economic activities. They charge a higher interest rate on the loans than what they offer on deposits.
The difference between the interest what is charged from borrower and what is paid to depositors is the main source of income of the bank.
Example. 17% interest for loan and 7% interest on deposit. So 10 % is the income of the bank.
11. “Credit can play a positive role.” Justify the statement with three arguments.
a. Credit meets working capital needs of production. It helps a person to meet the ongoing expenses of production
For example Salim, a shoe maker, received an order from a large trader for 3000 pairs of shoes. In order to meet his ongoing expense Salim obtains loan from two sources, leather from leather supplier and loan in cash from the large trader as advance payment. At the end of the month he is able to deliver the order, repay his loan and make a good profit.
b. It helps a person in setting up new industries. For example an individual can take loan to set up a food processing centre in villages which not only increases his income but also provides employment, reduces disguised unemployment, poverty.
c. Credit plays positive role when it will help in increasing the income of the person and the person will be able to repay back the loan. Ultimately it will increase the standard of living also.
12. “Credit can play a negative role.” Justify the statement with arguments.
During natural calamities credit repayment is painful for the farmers due to crop failure.
Small producers are compelled to sell a part of land for repayment.
Swapna, who is a small farmer, who grows groundnut, takes loan from a moneylender to meet the expenses of cultivation.
Her crop is hit by pest and in spite of all her efforts she is unable to repay her loan. Her debt grows into a large amount and she is forced to sell a part of her land to repay her loan.
Credit pushes her to deep debt trap. Her position is much worse than before.
13. What is collateral? Why do lenders ask for collateral while lending?
Collateral is an asset that the borrower owns and uses it as a guarantee to a lender until the loan is repaid. The collateral can be land, building, vehicle, house, livestock’s deposit with banks etc.
It is an assurance to the lender that he will get back his money.
If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender has the right to sell the collateral to obtain repayment.
14. What do we understand by terms of credit?
Interest rate, collateral, documentation requirement and mode of repayment together comprise the terms of credit.
The terms of credit differs from one credit arrangement to another and it may also vary depending on the nature of the lender and borrower.
15. What are the functions of Reserve Bank of India?
Or
How RBI does supervise the credit activities of the formal source of credit or commercial banks? Explain.
The Reserve Bank of India supervises the functioning of the formal sources of credit.
It ensures that the bank maintains the minimum cash balance out of the deposit they receive. The RBI monitors the banks in actually maintaining cash balance.
RBI sees that the bank gives loans not just to profit making businesses and traders but also to small cultivators, small scale industries, small borrowers etc.
Periodically bank has to submit information to RBI on how much they are lending, to whom, at what interest rate etc.
16. ’Cheap and affordable credit is crucial for development for the country.’ Explain the statement.
Cheap and affordable credit will lead to higher income. Many people could borrow cheaply for a variety of reasons.
It will encourage farmers to take loan and invest in agriculture to increase their production.
It will provide money to the businessmen to meet the ongoing process of production.
People can take loan and start small industries.
It leads to more investment which will lead to acceleration of economic activities.
It will also prevent people from falling into debt trap.
17. ’The credit activities of informal sector should be discouraged.” Support the statement.
85% of the loans taken by the poor households in the urban areas are from informal sectors.
Informal sectors charge high rate of interest in the loans given.
It would mean that the larger part earnings of the borrower are used to repay the loan.
In some cases the high interest on borrowing could mean that the amount to repay is greater than the income of the borrower.
This could lead to increasing debt and debt trap.
Moreover people who might wish to start a business by taking loan may not do so because of high cost of borrowing.
18. What are the reasons why banks might not be willing to lend to certain borrowers?
Or
“Poor households are still dependent on informal sources of credit.”Explain.
Absence of collateral is the major reason which prevents the poor from getting loan from the bank.
They do not have fixed income and may not be able to complete the documentation process.
The informal lenders such as money lenders know them personally and hence willing to give loan without collateral.
The borrowers can also approach for a new loan to the money lenders even without paying the previous loan which is not possible in case of banks.
Many a time loan may be for non productive purpose for which the banks cannot extend loans.
They can repay the loan in any form like by giving service, goods or money which is not possible in the bank.
19. How can formal sector loan be made available for poor farmers and workers? Suggest any five measures.
Create awareness to farmers about formal sectors loans.
The process of providing loan should be made more easier,
It should be simple, fast and timely.
More number of Nationalized Banks and cooperatives Banks should be opened in rural sectors.
Banks and cooperatives should increase facility of providing loans to farmers and workers so that dependence on informal sources of credit reduces.
The benefit of loans should be extended to poor farmers and small scale industries.
20. Differentiate between formal sources of credit and informal sources of credit.
FORMAL SOURCES
INFORMAL SOURCES
1
Formal sources include banks and cooperatives
Informal sources include money lenders , traders , employers, relatives friends
2
They charge reasonable rate of interest
They charge high rate of interest
3
They require proper documentation and collateral
They do not require any documentation and loan can be extended even without collateral
4.
They cannot use unfair means to get their money back
They can use unfair means to get their money back
5
Their credit activities are governed by Reserve Bank Of India
There is no organization to govern the activities of informal sector
.
21. Write a note about the self help groups.
The idea of self help group is to organize rural poor especially women to form groups and pool their savings.
Self help groups consist of 15 to 20 members of one neighborhood who meet save amount which varies from 25 to 100 rupees or more depending on the ability of the people.
Members can take small loans from the group at a low rate of interest.
After one or two years if the group is regular in its savings, it becomes eligible for availing loan from bank which can be
used by the members as working capital to increase productivity or to buy assets like sewing machines, cattle etc. Loan is sanctioned in the name of the group.(the group act as collateral )
The group is collectively responsible for the repayment.
This not only helps women to become financially self reliant but the regular meetings of the group provide a platform to discuss and act on various social issues such as health , nutrition, domestic violence etc
