    Banking Fees and Charges

    • Returned item fee is charged when a check cannot be processed due to insufficient funds, helping banks recover costs associated with managing bounced transactions.
    • Overdraft fee applies when an account holder spends more than their available balance, serving as a penalty and compensation for banks facilitating the transaction.

    Key Banking Concepts

    • Liquidity refers to the availability of liquid assets in a bank's balance sheet, crucial for meeting short-term obligations and customer withdrawals.
    • Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) requires banks to hold a certain percentage of their net demand and time liabilities with the Reserve Bank of India, promoting financial stability and liquidity in the banking system.

    Financial Terminology

    • A basis point is a unit of measure equal to 0.01%, used to describe changes in interest rates or financial percentages.
    • The purpose of the KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure is to prevent identity theft, financial fraud, and money laundering by verifying the identity and background of customers.

    Fund Transfer Mechanisms

    • RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) allows for immediate transfer of large sums of money between banks in real time, while NEFT (National Electronic Funds Transfer) processes transactions in batches, typically with time delays.

    Interest and Fees

    • APR (Annual Percentage Rate) represents the annual cost of borrowing expressed as a percentage, while compound interest is the interest calculated on the principal plus any accumulated interest, leading to varying repayment amounts over time.
