Opening a saving bank account is very easy. These days, there is no such thing as minimum balance as the Reserve Bank of India has advised all banks to open saving accounts with “NIL” balance. This is called a Basic Savings Bank Deposit Account. One just needs to fill up the account opening form with a latest photograph and submitting documents to comply the “know your customer” (KYC) norms, i.e., proof of our identity and residence. The account can also be opened on the basis of the Aadhar Card. Some of the other features are that banks will not charge fees for deposit of money any number of times. Banks will also not charge for four withdrawals during a month. The account holder also gets a passbook and an ATM/smart card without any fee.
10,000 in the saving account and interest of 8-9% returns on Rs. 40,000, where there is an additional interest rate of about 4-5%. The deposit in the fixed deposit account also allows the person to meet liquidity requirement for any emergency situation.
2. Flexi -Deposit Sweep in Facility
To avail the flexi deposit facility one needs to have a savings bank account and a fixed deposit with a bank. The fixed deposit will be linked to the savings bank account. In case there is insufficient fund to clear a cheque from the saving bank account the deficit amount will automatically get transferred from your fixed deposit to the savings bank account.
For example, let us say a person has Rs. 10,000 in the savings bank account a fixed deposit with the bank of Rs. 1 lakh. In case of an insufficient balance in your savings bank account, the fund from this fixed deposit will be used. If the person draws a cheque of Rs. 25,000 and the savings bank account has just Rs. 10,000 then the deficit of additional Rs. 15,000 will be taken the linked fixed deposit.
In the above example, the person will earn savings bank account interest of 4% on Rs. 10,000 and 8-9% returns on Rs. 1,00,000 fixed deposit instead of earning 4-5% on the entire
The second tool the Federal Reserve uses is the adjustment of the reserve ratio. The reserve ratio is the ratio of the required reserves the commercial bank must keep to the bank’s own outstanding checkable-deposit liabilities (Brue, 2004, p. 254). By raising and lowering the ratio, the Fed can control how much the commercial banks can lend. For example, if the Fed lowers the reserve ratio, commercial banks will now have more excess reserves allowing them to lend more money to businesses or individuals. Vice-versa, by increasing the ratio, the Fed forces the banks to lend less money due to having smaller excess reserves. If the bank is deficient in the amount of reserves it has, the bank is forced to reduce checkable deposits and, subsequently, reduce the money supply. It may also need to increase its reserves by selling bonds, which would also lower the money supply (Brue, 2004, p. 274).
Therefore, the total investment for compounded daily interest rather than quarterly would be worth 180,748.53

“Proposal 1: The government should offer via national savings bonds a guaranteed positive real rate of interest on savings, with a maximum holding per person” (Atkinson 168). The rate can be taken in correspondence to the medium-term expected rate of real growth of household income per head (averaged to smooth out cyclical fluctuations), allowing for the fact that household incomes cannot be expected to grow as fast as national income. If the real rate of interest for small savers can be guaranteed to match the rate of growth, then their savings will not fall behind, “Proposal 2: There should be a capital endowment (minimal inheritance) paid to all at adulthood” (Atkinson 170). The age these individuals

The postal savings system focused on providing an accessible means of saving money for all people including those who are lower-class citizens that might not have regular access to an alternate means of saving, utilizing a government operated financial institution to reinvest local deposits back into the local communities, and existing as a financial institution that would appeal to the small saver, but not compete with the banks or the saving and loan industry. Funds from depositors in the system were meant to be divided. 5% of all deposits were meant to be held in reserves, so that the postal service could meet all withdrawal demands. The other 95% was meant to be reinvested into local banking institutions. Banks who took the deposits paid out the 2% interest to depositors while the additional interest yield was utilized by the government to cover overhead of operating the Postal Savings

At the beginning of the income period, to ensure adequate money holding for consumption transactions, 1/K of income is retained as money. The remaining balance (K-1/K ∙Y), is used to purchase interest bearing bonds, producing an average money holding of ( Y/2∙1/K). A further factor in the model is that the cost of transacting money out of bonds and vice versa is bK, therefore the less time the average cash balance is held, the more frequently bonds are sold and the higher overall transaction costs; the less money balances that are held, the more brokerage costs will be.
This is the rate of return (the discount rate) at which the net present value of the investment is zero, or that is the discount rate at which the discounted income from the project is equal to the investment costs
"Interest is the cost of borrowing money. An interest rate is the cost stated as a percent of the amount borrowed per period of time, usually one year" (Getobjects.com, 2004). An interest rate is a very important factor in all financial decisions. The two types of interest rates are simple and compound (Brealey, Myers & Marcus, 2003). A simple interest rate for example, occurs when a person borrows money from a lender and he or she will have to pay the lender a fee, this fee is the simple interest rate (Brealey, Myers & Marcus, 2003). Simple interest is normally used for a single period of less than a year, such as 30 or 60 days [simple interest = p x i x n] (Getobjects.com, 2004). For examp...
