Sec.5 (b) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, defines the word “Banking” as: “Banking
means accepting, for the purpose of lending, or investment, of deposits of money from
the public, repayable on demand, or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft,
cheque, order, or otherwise.”
So, the basic requirements for a body corporate or otherwise to be called a ‘Banker’ or
‘Banking Company’ are:

Working of DRT
It has been held that a person frequently visiting the branch of a bank for transacting
banking business like purchase of a draft, encashing a cheque, etc., is not a customer if
he does not maintain any account with the branch.
A person will be deemed to be a ‘customer’ even if he has only handed over the account
opening form to the bank and the bank has accepted to open the account, even though
account has actually been opened in the books of the bank.
The term ‘customer’ should be used only with respect to the branch, where he is
maintaining an account. He cannot be treated as a ‘customer’ for other branches of the
same bank.
In the case of all deposit accounts, “Banker” is a debtor & the “Customer” is a creditor.
In the case of any loan/advances account, the “Banker” is the creditor & the “Customer”
is the debtor.
However, with the variety of services rendered by the banks, in addition to opening of a
deposit/loan account, the relationship becomes more wide & complex. The banker thus
also acts as a bailey, trustee, agent, principal, lessor, etc., depending upon the type of
services rendered & nature of transaction, as illustrated below:-`
1. Deposits Debtor
2. Loans/Advances Creditor

*These numerous kinds of relations between the banks on one hand & the customer on
the other hand, give rise to several obligations on the part of the banker and also confer
various rights associated with it.
* Duties of a Banker:
Having regard to the nature of relationship developing between a banker & a customer,
the “Banker” has certain duties vis-á-vis his customer. These are –
Further, Section 31 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 lays down that “The drawee
of a cheque (banker) having sufficient funds of the drawer in hand, properly applicable
to the payment of such cheque must pay the cheque when duly required to do so & in
default of such payment must compensate the drawer for any loss or damage caused by
such default”.

The underlying principle behind this duty is that if the balances in the accounts and
financial position of the customer & details of dealings in customers’ accounts are
disclosed to any unauthorized person it may harm the reputation of the customer
financially or otherwise and the bank may be held liable.
There are certain circumstances, under which a banker can disclose information
regarding customer’s account to a person other than the customer like – Disclosure
under compulsion of Law, Disclosure under express or implied consent of the Customer,
Disclosure to protect national interest, Disclosure to protect bank’s own interest,
Disclosure under banking practices, etc.
* Rights of a Banker:
In addition to the various duties of a banker vis-à-vis his customer, the banker also has
certain rights vis-à-vis his customer. The rights can be broadly classified as –
5
Working of DRT
There are two types of lien viz. (a) Particular Lien and (b) General Lien
A ‘particular lien’ gives the right to retain only possession of those goods in respect of
which the dues have arisen, e.g. a tailor retaining possession of a suit he has stitched for
a customer until the stitching charges are paid.
A ‘general lien’ gives the right to retain possession of any goods in the legal possession
of the creditor until the whole of the debt due from the debtor is paid.
Right of Set-Off
Banker’s right of set-off is a statutory right, which enables it to combine several
accounts of a customer in his own right unless there is any agreement express or
implied to the contrary.
Even though the right of set-off is available to the banker as a legal right, banks usually
take a letter of set-off from the customer to overcome future legal complications and it
also dispenses with the need of notice.
Right of Appropriation
When there are two or more accounts wherein amounts are due from customer to the
bank, and the customer deposits some money without indicating the account to which it
should be credited a question arises as to the appropriation of the said amount.
Section 59, 60 & 61 of the Indian Contract Act, deal with appropriations of payments.

Bank’s Loan Policy is devised for regulating the Bank’s resources towards remunerative
means, for directed national priorities & also achieving uniformity in lending bank-wide.
This policy is meant to cover the macro & micro issues at the broad policy level. The
objectives of the loan policy would precisely be as follows:-

Addition to shareholders is maximized & the interests of all the stake holders are
protected alongside ensuring corporate growth and prosperity with safety of
Bank’s resources.

Bank believes in creating and maintaining Enterprise-wide strong credit & risk culture on
an on-going basis. The bank strikes a balance between the business growth and
incremental risk for deciding the business plan & strategy for each year, but as a matter
of policy the bank seeks to maintain a low risk profile, however with due flexibility so as
to capture remunerative business at all points of time. Accordingly the bank mends its
lending channel to suit its risk return-trade off policy, suitably blended to business
needs.
“Know Your Customer” should be the key principle for identification of an individual /
corporate while opening an account. The customer identification / verification should be
through an introductory reference from an existing account holder / a person known to
the bank or on the basis of documents provided by the customer in accordance with RBI
guidelines issued from time to time.
The KYC norms are not only for establishing the identity of the person but also satisfying
about his credentials by obtaining an introductory reference from a known person. The
due diligence expected under KYC procedures involves going into details. It is not a
responsibility which ends with opening of the accounts and monitoring of transactions
in the initial few months of opening the account, but monitoring should be an ongoing
process.

public money in litigation prevents proper utilization and recycling of funds for the
development of the country.
The committee on Financial Systems headed by Shri Narasimhan had recommended the
setting up of special Tribunals with judicial powers for adjudication of suits & ensure
speedy recovery of dues to banks & financial institutions keeping in view the above
points, The Government of India, in implementing the aforesaid recommendations, has
passed a bill in the parliament (Act 51 of 1993) titled “The Recovery of Debts due to
Banks and Financial Institutions Act, 1993” which came into force with effect from
24.06.93 .
The Government of India has constituted thirty three (33) Debt Recovery Tribunals and
five (5) Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunals across the country. The Debt Recovery
Tribunals are located across the country. Mumbai & Delhi have 3 Debt Recovery
Tribunals, whereas Chennai & Kolkata have 2 Tribunals each. One Debt Recovery
Tribunal each has been constituted at Ahmadabad, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bengalooru,
Chandigarh, Coimbatore, Cuttack, Ernakulum, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jabalpur, Jaipur,
Lucknow, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Ranchi & Vishakhapatnam. Depending upon the no. of
cases in an area, a debt recovery tribunal is constituted.
There are many states that do not have a debt recovery tribunal set up. The banks and
financial institutions in those states have to go to Debt Recovery Tribunals in other
states having jurisdiction over their area. Thus the territorial jurisdiction of certain Debt
Recovery Tribunals is very vast. For example, the Debt Recovery Tribunal situated in
Guwahati has jurisdiction over all 7 North Eastern States. Similarly, the Debt Recovery
Tribunal set up at Chandigarh has a wide jurisdiction over the states of Punjab, Haryana
and Chandigarh.

orders passed by a Recovery Officer are judicial in nature, and are appealable before the
Presiding Officer of the Tribunal.
After the enactment of the Securitisation & Reconstruction of Financial Assets and
Enforcement of Security Interests Act (SRFAESI Act) borrowers could become first
applicants before the Debt Recovery Tribunal. Earlier only lenders could be applicants.
The Debt Recovery Tribunals are fully empowered to pass comprehensive orders like in
Civil Courts. The tribunal can hear cross suits, counter claims and allow set offs.
However they cannot hear claims of damages or deficiency of services or breach of
contract or criminal negligence on the part of the lenders.
The debt recovery tribunal can appoint receivers, commissioners, pass ex-parte orders,
ad-interim orders, interim orders apart from powers to review its own decision and hear
appeals against orders passed by the Recovery Officers of the Tribunal.
The recording of evidence by debt recovery tribunal is somewhat unique. All evidences
are taken by way of an affidavit. Cross examination is allowed only on request by the
defense and that to if the Tribunal feels that such a cross examination is in the interest
of justice. Frivolous cross examination may be denied. There are a number of other
unique features in the proceedings before the debt recovery tribunals, all aimed at
expediting the proceedings.
