Who is a Banker?
The Banking Regulation Act 1949 defines 'Banking' as accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawal by cheque, draft order or otherwise (Section 5b) and says that any company which transacts the business of banking is a 'Banking Company' (Section 5c). It further stipulates that a company which carries the business of banking in India must use the words, 'Bank, Banker, Banking or Banking Company' as a part of its name.
the bank, without taking into consideration the duration and frequency of operation of his account.
To constitute a customer of the bank. One should have an account with the bank. One should deal with the bank in its nature of regular banking business. One should deal with the bank without consideration of the duration and frequency of operation of his account.
GENERAL RELATIONSHIP
CREDITOR-DEBTOR
account and the banker. Depositor is the lender and the banker is the borrower. Depositor is the creditor and the banker is the debtor. The money handed over to the bank is a debt. The money once deposited in the bank becomes the money of the bank and it is prerogative of the bank to use that money as it deems fit. The depositor remains a creditor that too an unsecured creditor
GENERAL RELATIONSHIP
DEBTOR-CREDITOR When the customer avails a loan or an advance then his
relationship with the banker undergoes a change to what it is when he is a deposit holder. Since the funds are lent to the customer , he becomes the borrower and the banker becomes the lender. The relation is the debtor- creditor relation, the customer being a debtor and the banker a creditor.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
BENEFICIARY-TRUSTEE
bank for safe-keeping or deposits a certain amount of money for a specific purpose, the banker, besides becoming a bailee, is also a trustee. The money or the securities so kept are not at the disposal of the bank. The banker cannot utilize those moneys or securities as he desires since the money does not belong to him. Here there is delivery of goods or securities from one person to the other which amounts to the bailment. As per section 148 of Indian Contract Act 1872, the delivery of goods from one person to the other for some purpose upon the contract that the goods will be returned when the purpose is accomplished. The customer is the bailer and the banker is the bailee.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
PRINCIPAL-AGENT Banks provide ancillary services such as collection of cheques, bills etc.They also undertake to pay regularly the electricity bills, phone bills etc. The relationship arising out of these ancillary services is of principal-agent between the customer and the bank. The relationship seizes once the customer dies, becomes insane or becomes insolvent. The proceedes of the cheques sent for collection,which are in transit, not created to the customer account are not the moneys of the banker till such time as they are credited into the customer account.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
LESSEE-LESSOR The banks provide safe deposit lockers to the customers who hire them on lease basis. The relationship therefore, is that of lessee and lessor. In certain banks, this relationship is termed as licensee and licensor. The bank leases out the space for the use of clients. The bank is not responsible for any loss that arises to the lessee in this form of transaction except due to negligence of that bank.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
Pawner and Pawnee
When a customer Pledge goods and documents as
security for an advance he then become Pawner (Pledger) and the bank becomes the pawnee (pledgee). The pledged goods are to be returned intact to the pawner after the debt is repaid by him.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
Mortgager and Mortgagee Mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immovable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan. When a customer pledges a specific immovable property with the bank as security for advance, the customer becomes mortgager and banker is the mortagee.
SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
INDEMNIFIER- INDEMNIFIED The customer is indemnifier and the bank is indemnified. A contract by which one party promises to save the other from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promisor himself or the conduct of any other person is called a contract of indemnity section 124 ( Indian Contract Act, 1872). In the case of banking, this relationship happens in transactions of issue of duplicate demand draft, fixed deposit receipt etc. The underlying point in these cases is that either party will compensate the other of any loss arising from the wrong/excess payment.
