INTRODUCTION
Banking refers to the system of financial institutions, such as banks and credit unions,
that provide various financial services to individuals, businesses, and governments.
Banking services mainly include accepting deposits, lending money, facilitating
transactions, and offering various financial products like savings accounts, loans, and
credit cards. Banking plays a crucial role in the economy by facilitating the flow of
money and enabling economic activities.
There are two main types of financial institutions: banking and non-banking.
Banking institutions include commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and
credit unions. Nonbanking financial institutions include insurance companies, pension
funds, and hedge funds. A financial institution is a company engaged in the business
of dealing with financial and monetary transactions such as deposits, loans,
investments, and currency exchange. Financial institutions include a broad range of
business operations within the financial services sector, including banks, insurance
companies, brokerage firms, and investment dealers.

PROJECT 6
EDUCATIONAL LOAN
LOAN:
Types:
Educational loans come in various forms, including federal student loans (provided by
the government), private student loans (offered by banks and other financial institutions),
and sometimes, even loans from educational institutions themselves.
Interest Rates:
The interest rates on educational loans can vary depending on type of loan and the
lender. Federal student loans often have fixed, relatively low interest rates, while private
student loans may have variable rates and potentially higher interest costs.
Repayment:
Many educational loans offer deferment options, meaning students don’t need to
begin repaying the loan until after they graduate or leave school.
2
Public Bank:
A public bank is a financial institution that is owned and operated by the
government or a government agency. These banks are typically established to provide essential
banking services to the general public. Public banks play a crucial role in the economy by
offering a wide range of financial services, including savings and checking accounts, loans,
and investment products. They are often considered more stable and reliable due to government
backing. Examples of public banks include the State Bank of India, Indian overseas Bank.
Private Bank:
A private bank, on the other hand, is a financial institution owned and operated by
private individuals or entities. These banks typically cater to high-net-worth individuals and
offer specialized services such as wealth management, investment advisory, and estate
planning. Private banks are known for their personalized and exclusive services, focusing on
the unique financial needs of their clients. Ex: private banks include Axis bank, HDFC
bank.
Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC):
An NBFC is a financial institution that provides banking and financial services but
does not hold a banking license. NBFCs can offer services similar to traditional banks, such
as loans, credit, and investment products, but they are not allowed to accept demand
deposits like regular banks. NBFCs are an essential part of the financial system, filling
gaps in services that traditional banks may not address. Ex: NBFCs
include Bajaj finserve, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services, and L&T Finance.
Education Loan Company:
An education loan company specializes in providing loans to individuals who want
to pursue higher education. These companies offer financial assistance to students and their
parents to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other educational costs. Education loan
companies play a significant role in enabling access to education, as pursuing higher
education can be costly. They offer various loan products tailored to the specific needs of
students and typically have favorable terms, including lower interest rates and flexible
repayment options. Ex:ducation loan companies include Avanse Financial Servicesand HDFC
Credila.

PROJECT 7
FIXED DEPOSIT
A fixed deposit (FD) is a financial instrument where you deposit a lump sum of money
with a bank or financial institution for a specific period at a fixed interest rate.
The funds are locked in for the predetermined duration, and you’ll receive the principal
amount along with the interest at the end of the term. FDs are a low-risk investment option
and are commonly used for saving and earning interest. The interest rate and tenure can vary
from one bank to another, and early withdrawals often result in penalties.
PROS
Safety:
Fixed deposit are considered a safe investment as they are typically
offered by banks and are insured up to a certain limit, which varies by country.
Stability:
The interest rate is fixed at the time of deposit, providing
predictability in returns.
Guaranteed Returns:
You’re assured of receiving the principal amount along with the interest
at maturity.
Liquidity:
While fixes are for a fixed tenure, they are relatively more liquid
compared to other long-term investments
8 like bonds or real estate. You can still
access your funds with a penalty.
CONS
Low Returns:
Fixed deposit interest rates are usually lower compared to other
investment options like stocks, mutual funds, or real estate, which means lower
returns.
Fixed Tenure:
Your money is locked in for a specific period, and early
withdrawals can result in reduced interest earnings or penalties.
Inflation Risk:
FD returns might not always keep up with inflation, potentially reducing
your purchasing power over time.
Taxation:
Limited Flexibility:
Once you invest, you can’t adjust the interest rate or terms until maturity.
Opportunity Cost:
By tying up your money in an Fi, you might miss out on better
investment opportunities that could offer higher returns.
Depositors can leverage their FD to avail loans. Loans against FD are usually offered
in the form of overdraft facility, wherein the credit limit is sanctioned on the basis of the
Fixed deposit amount pledged as collateral and the interest is also levied only on the amount
drawn till its repayment.
Moreover, the borrower continues to earn interest on the pledged FDs during the loan
tenure. Withdrawals can be made anytime up to the credit limit from their overdraft account
and repay it as per their repayment capacity.
10
These features of loans against FDs make them an excellent tool for mitigating frequent
liquidity and cash flow mismatches, without requiring prematurely closing Fixed dnd
incurring premature withdrawal penalties. In India, Fixed Deposits are one of the most
popular ways to save money. They are a safe investment, offer good returns, and are easy to
open.
