PREFACE
I have selected the project Liability Management
for completing the curriculum of IVsemester of B.com
Banking and Insurance. For the past three semesters I have
been walking through various concepts of Banking and I
believe that Liability Management is one of the key factor to
make any bank successful and survive in difficult
circumstances. To broaden my ideas I have opted for thissubject.
It was not so easy for me to collect information and data
related to my project topic. I have seen various books related
to my topic but I have selected only that information which is
relevant to my project. I have also visited various websites for
project purpose but information which is website provided is
not so much relevant to my project. In that case the college
library and college faculty has helped me in getting true and
fair information relating to my project.

1. WHAT IS BANKING?
The development of Banking is evolutionary in
nature. There is no single answer to the question of what isbanking? Because, a bank performs a multitude of functions
and services which can be comprehended into a single
definition. For a common man a bank means a store house of
money, for a business man it is an institution of finance and
for a worker it may be a depository for his savings.
It may be explained in brief as Banking is what abank does. But it is not clear enough to understand the
subject in full. The oxford Dictionary defines a bank as an
establishment for the custody of money which it plays out on
customers order.
According to section 5 (b) of the Banking
Regulation Act 1949,
Banking means, accepting for the purpose of lending or
investment of deposit of money from the public repayable on
demand or otherwise, and withdrawable by cheque, draft,
order or otherwise.
According to above definition, the main function of a
bank is to collect deposits from the public and use these funds
for lending and investment. For the deposits collected from
the public interest paid to the depositors. Similarly, interest is
earned on lending and investment.

LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
In this process, bank creates liabilities by way of deposits and
borrowing and assets by way of lending and investment. Foreach rupee collected in the form of deposit, equal asset is
created in the form of advances and investments or
cash/balance with banks.
Functions of Banks:-
Following are the functions perform by Bank:-
I) Primary Functions.
II) Agency Functions.
III) General Utility Functions.
IV) Foreign Trade Management.
V) Credit Creation.
I) Primary or Traditional Functions:-
These functions are classified into 2 categories,namely:-
1) Accepting Deposits.
2) Advancing of Loans.
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
7/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
1) Accepting Deposits:-
The primary function of bank is acceptingdeposits and advancing of loans. Banks require money to
make loans and advances. Their share capital does not create
adequate funds for advancing loans. Hence they accept
deposits as interest. For the safety point people and
institutions deposit their money with the banks and they get
interest. For this purpose bank operate various types ofaccounts as given under:-
i) Fixed Deposits Account:-
It is also called time deposit account. In
such accounts money is deposited for a fixed period. After the
maturity of the account the bank repays the principal plus
interest for that given period. The interest on such accounts is
pre-decided. Generally, such accounts are having duration of
6 months to 10 years. The rate of interest varies as per the
duration of the account. Generally, the rate of interest is high
as such accounts as the bank is free to use the deposits for a
long period. Bank gives a receipt to the depositor. The receipt
is returned to the bank while getting the payment.
ii) Current Account:-
This account is generally open by traders,
businessman and industrialist. Customers have facility to
deposit and withdraw from such account as many times as
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
8/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
they wish. The daily transactions of such account holders are
frequent and many. Hence they open such accounts in the
bank. There is uncertainty in the withdrawals from such
accounts and bank cannot use the deposits. No interest is paid
on such accounts. Customers are also given overdraft facility
as per their credit.
iii) Saving Account:-
Such accounts are opened for the
convenience of middle and lower salaried or income groups.There is no restriction of the deposits but there is a restriction
on the withdrawals. A customer cannot withdraw more than
50 times during 6 months from the accounts. Bank pays rate
of interest, which is generally 4.5% per annum.
iv) Other Deposits Accounts:-
Bank also accepts deposits for the
accounts other than the above mentioned. Some of these
accounts are as under:-
a) Recurring deposit Account:-
Account holder deposits a given amountevery month and it is deposited for a given period. At the time
of maturity the principal and interest earned is paid to the
account holder. The rate of interest is higher than the saving
bank account and lower than fixed deposit account.
b) Daily Saving Deposit Scheme:-
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
9/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
Under this scheme bank employee goes to
residence of account holder and daily is collected by him. It is
useful to daily wage earners and small shopkeepers.
c) Retirement scheme:-
Under this scheme saver saves a givenamount for a given period. After a given period the amount is
repaid in installments with the interest. It assists the
pensioners in their old age.
2) Advancing of Loans :-
Another important primary function of commercial
bank is advancing of loans. It is performed because banks
have to pay interest on various deposits. Thus bank charge
high rate of interest on advancing of loans and earn profit.
Banks collect small savings and are used for advancing of
loans for production purposes. Bank makes advancing of
loans to industrialist, traders, farmers, self-employed persons.
Generally commercial banks advance loans for the following
purposes:-
i) Cash Credit:-
Under this scheme bank advances the loans for a givenperiod on the security of shares, debentures and movable and
immovable properties. The loanee withdraws money from the
bank as per his requirements from time to time. Generally
bank charges interest on the amount which has been
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
10/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
withdrawn by the account holder. Sometimes traders borrow
from banks on the security of goods. Borrower has the right to
get the dividend and interest on the securities pledged for
loan.
ii) Loans and Advances:-
Under it banks provide loans and advances to
its customer on adequate security. Such amount of loans and
advances are deposited in the account of the borrower and the
borrower can withdraw the amount as and when he requires.Such facility is given for a specific period. After the specific
periods the loans and advances are repaid to the bank.
iii) Overdraft:-
When a bank allows its customer having current
account to withdraw the amount more than the deposits in theaccount it is called overdraft. The overdraft depends on the
credit of the customers. Such facility is given for short term
and emergency purposes. Such facility is given on current
account only.
II) Agency Function:-
Commercial banks act as agent of their customers
and rendered services. Some charges levied by the banks on
such services. Some services rendered free of charges. The
following are the agency functions of commercial banks
provided to their customers:-
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.

LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
1) Collection of payment of cheques, Bills of
Exchange and Other letters of credit:-
Bank collect payment of cheques, bills of exchange,and other letter of credit deposited by the customers in the
bank. Banks act as an agent on behalf of the customers and
collect deposit. The local collection is free of charge while
outstation collection of these instruments attracts charges.
2) payment of cheques, Bills of Exchange and
other letters of credit:-
Banks make payment on the basis of various instruments
written by the customers and the amount is debited. Many a
times, bank accepts a bill of exchange on behalf of customers
makes payment in time.
3) Receiving payments for customers:-
Banks also received rent, interest, installment of loan,
pension, dividend, etc. on behalf of their customers and the
amount is deposited in their accounts.
4) Payment on behalf of customers:-
Banks not only received payment on behalf of their
customers but also make payment on behalf of customers in
the form of rent, interest, dividend, installment of loan,
insurance premium, commission, etc, such amount written in
customers account and banks charge commission for these
functions.

directed by their customers. Bank draft, postal and telegraphictransfers are the methods through which such transfers take
place. Bank charges some commission for conducting these
functions.
6) Purchase and sale of shares securities:-Banks purchase and sale shares and securities
on behalf of their customers. Generally, banks have more
knowledge regarding such activities. Banks charges
commission for this purpose.
III) General Utility Function:-
Banks also carry on some utility functions, which areuseful to their customers. These functions are as under:-
1) Security of wealth and Assets:-
Lockers are provided by banks to their customers.
Their valuables namely important documents, ornaments,
gold, shares, debentures, deposit receipts, etc. are kept in these

installments.
4) Management of public debt:-
Commercial bank manages public debt on behalf
of central bank when central and state government raise loans
through debentures or bonds.
5) Share Market Function:-
Banks also settle the accounts on behalf of their
customers when they are purchasing and selling shares and
debentures in the share market.
IV) Financial and Managerial Arrangement forForeign Trade:-
Commercial banks have played a dominant role in the
expansion of foreign trade. Short term credit is provided for
foreign trade by banks. These banks accept and discount the
commercial bills, letter of credit. It facilitates in the

It facilitates the international payment and increases the
international payments and increases the foreign trade.
v) Function of credit creation:-
Banks attract deposits from the public on thebasis of these deposits; they make loans and advances to the
public. Such amount of loan is deposited in the account of
loanee. Thus loans create deposits. On the basis of these
deposits loans are further granted. Thus loans from deposits
and deposits from loans are encouraged. This process is called
credit creation.

2. INTRODUCTION OF LIABILITY
MANAGEMENT
In recent years, commercial banks have devotedincreased attention to the concept of liability management.
Liabilities management is concerned with the activities related
to the collection of funds from depositors and other creditors
and the determination of an appropriate mix of these funds.
Mobilization of deposits is become a challenging task for
banks in these days. Banks collect funds through differenttypes of deposits having different maturities. A bank invests
the funds raised from different creditors to earn income. These
activities involved some risk. Liabilities management stresses
that a bank should consider the cost and risk of different
sources of funds as well as the expected return on their
investments. In this way the inter relationship between assetsmanagement and liabilities management is the determining
factor in the context of profitability.
A commercial bank serves as a financial intermediary
between those having funds and those needing funds. While
raising and lending funds banks have to consider liquidity and
profitability factors. In this connection there is need for theuse of financial leverage to improve return on capital. In
recent years special attention is being paid to liabilities
management to improve the profitability of banks. Large
banks are stressing credit instead of assets conversion to meet
their liquidity needs, particularly since nationalization.
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.

LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
The liability management involves:-
a) Choosing the source of financing to be used, i.e. choosing
between deposits finances and non- deposit financing.b) Determining the amount of funds needed and
c) Obtaining funds at lowest possible cost with the least risk
exposure.

LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
3. NEED FOR LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The basic problem facing a bank manager is to have a
satisfactory trade off between liquidity and profitability- the
two principle but conflicting goals of a bank. A bank deals in
the money of the people. The success of the business of bank
depends partly on the efficiency with which it can provide
services to its depositors, but mainly on the confidence it
inspires among the depositors. It has been able to attract thedeposits of the people not only by promising some returns on
their money but also by committing itself to repayment on
demand. This is why the public accepts bank deposits as being
as good as cash.
The banker must, therefore, ensure an adequate
amount of liquidity in his assets so that he may be able to
meet any claims upon it in cash on demand. The perfectly
liquid asset is cash itself because it can fully satisfy the
depositors claims. The more cash a banker holds, the more
obviously he can, without difficulty of any kind, offer cash in
exchange for deposits. Further, the bankers with an adequate
amount of cash in hand meet the credit needs of thecommunity and can make speculative gains.
However, cash in a sterile asset which earns
bank is to make earnings on its business which are sufficient
to compensate it for the cost which it incurs on raising funds,
besides paying the wages of the staff and meeting other
expenses. If a banker holds a large portion of his fund in ready
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
18/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
cash without earnings any income on it, his business will
result in losses, and sound the death-knell of the offer
sometime. He must, therefore, employ the bulk of the banks
resources in giving loans and advances, and in investing them
in high yielding securities. Such investment are, however,
subject to credit risk-the risk arising from default in repaying
money lent out and the money rate risk-the risk arising out of
fluctuations in the market role of interest. The banker will not
able to satisfy the cash requirements of the depositors on
demand with the funds deployed in the above investments.Once the depositors cheques are not honoured, the bank will
lose the confidence of the public, which will results in a mass
run on banks counter and jeopardize the liquidity position of
the bank. Ultimately, the very survival of the bank is
endangered.
Liquidity and profitability are, therefore, inimical to
each other. Cash has perfect liquidity but lacks yield. At the
other end are some loans and investments, which yield a high
rate of interest, but are hardly liquid at all. The conflict
between liquidity and income is not as sharp as it appears. In
order to ensure long-run earnings, the commercial bank must
retain public confidence in order to continue to survive andprovide for the liquidity needs of the bank.
The art of commercial banking lies in the resolution
of the conflicts between liquidity and profitability. It is an art
because science has not furnished inviolable rules; banks must
be managed with discrimination and good judgment. Rules
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
19/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
and scientific procedures for doing the whole job cannot be
framed. A number of approaches, ways and means of
resolving the conflicts have been developed from time-to-
time.

4. MANAGEMENT OF LIABILITIES
The management of liabilities is very difficult and
important job of a banker. For better liquidity and profitabilitythere is a need of liability management.
In liability management there are various liabilities
are involved, but management of capital and deposits are very
much important, because they are major liabilities in banks.
Management of Capital FundThe capital fund constitutes one of the sources of
funds for a commercial bank. It represents owned resources,
and includes the share capital subscribed by its shareholders
as well as reserve built up by the bank by ploughing back a
part of its business earnings. Success and survival of a bank
depend on its strength, which in turn, dispenses publicconfidence in it. Failure of individual banks, particularly large
ones, might erode public confidence in the banking system.
This is why regulators all over the world strive to minimize
the magnitude and scope of bank failures by clamping
minimum capital requirement for banks.
Management of capital funds entails risk returnstrade off. Increasing capital fund reduces the risk of bank
failure by acting as cushion against the losses. On the other
hand, it also reduces expected returns on equity, a measure
that the investors focus on increasingly as the basis for
valuing a banks share.
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
21/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
Functions of Capital Fund in Commercial
Banks:-
Bank Capital Acts as Loss Absorber:-
Like other business, a commercial bank
needs capital to commence its operations, and to continue its
existence as a running business. Commercial and industrial
companies require capital initially to finance their operations
and secondly to provide a bailout for creditors or to cover
possible losses. From the standpoint of a bank, the reverse is
generally true. The primary role of bank capital is to act as
buffer. It provides a cushion to absorb possible losses so that
depositors may be fully protected at all times. Although the
capital fund is regarded as the absorber of losses arising from
the realization of assets and from other contingencies, yet this
function can be fulfilled only in the extreme case of theliquidation of the bank. The true nature of the protection
function of the capital fund is that it is ultimate of final
protection from the risk of insolvency. In the short run, a
major portion of the banks losses may be offset by its current
earnings, not by its capabilities. Even in the long run, the
capital fund may not fulfill the protective role because, if abank had poor earnings, losses internal control and a large
quantity of risk assets- symptoms of bank liquidation the bank
management would step in long before the capital funds were
severely impaired.
In a recent decision, it was held that the primary function
of the bank capital fund is to absorb the losses resulting from
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
22/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
events that are managerial foresight cannot be reasonably
expected to anticipate. It should provide a margin of safety
that preferably would allow bank to continue operations
without loss of momentum and, at the least, would by time for
it in which may re-establish its operational momentum.
Normal risk- risks that cannot be anticipated should be cover
by gross earning and not by the capital fund.
Banks Capital Supplies Working Tools of Banks:-
The secondary function of the capital fund is toprovide the where withdrawal from the acquisition of such
fixed assets as buildings, equipments, furniture, etc. The
provision of the permanent assets is a continuous function of
the bank capital fund, mainly because depositors cannot be
expected to supply the funds for such assets, say a new branch
building. Under condition of expansion, therefore, the capitalbase must, of necessity, be strengthened in line with the
expansion of the bank.
Banks Capital Acts as a Source of Loan Funds:-
Another important function of bank capital is
the assurance that the bank will be able to fulfill the credit
needs of the community and assume the risks inherent in its
safety. In other words, there are certain types of investments
for which borrowed funds may not be helpful; reliance is
placed on capital funds.
Bank capital represents the private ownership
of commercial banks, which distinguishes these institutions
from the mutual savings associations, co-operative banks, co-
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
23/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
operative credits and thrift societies and post office savings,
banks, etc., which compete with commercial banks for
savings.
Management of Deposits:-
The survival of a commercial bank depends, on the
quantum of deposits held by it and the way deposits are
managed. Deposits in fact, constitute a vital source of funds in
a bank, which places an almost exclusive reliance on public
deposits for its operation, for the fact that equity capital
invested in a bank is very insignificant part of the total funds
of the bank. Lending and investment operations of a bank are
influenced essentially by the magnitude of deposits, their
composition and ownership. This is why a banker always
thinks of ways and means of increasing his deposits. It is true
that individual banks do not have complete control over the
level of the total deposits with the banking system and savings
of the community because a host of factors including the
monetary policy of the Central Bank determine it. However a
banker can influence, to some extent amount of deposits held
by it by adopting marketing approach.
In practical sense deposits are managed as given below:-
Suppose the borrower, Mr. X, pays a cheque of Rs. 800
to Mr. Y, who has an account in Bank of Baroda. Then Bank
of Baroda receives Rs.800 as primary deposits, which
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
24/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
increases the liabilities of the bank by Rs. 800. It balance
sheet appears as follows:
BANK OF BARODA
Liabilities Assets
Demands deposits Rs. 800
( primary)
Cash received Rs. 800
Cash reserves Rs. 160
Excess reserves Rs. 640
As noted in the balance sheet of the
Bank of Baroda, the increased deposit liabilities of Rs. 800,
accompanied by equivalent in cash reserves of Rs. 800 have
resulted in excess reserves of Rs. 640, on account of the 20
percent cash reserves ratio. Thus, Bank of Baroda is now inposition to expand its loan and deposits by the amount of its
excess reserves. If Bank of Baroda expanded its loans and
deposits by the amount of its excess reserves, its balance sheet
would then change to:
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
25/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
BANK OF BARODA
Liabilities Assets
Demand deposits Rs. 800
(Primary)
Demand deposits Rs. 640
(Derivative)
Cash received Rs. 800
Loans Rs. 640
Now, suppose the borrower, Mr. Z, passes on
the amount of (Rs. 640) to somebody (in meeting his business
obligations), who is turn may deposit it with the Canara Bank.
That increases the liabilities of the Canara Bank, by Rs. 640
and its balance sheet appears as:
CANARA BANK
Liabilities Assets
Demand deposits Rs. 640
(Primary)
Cash received Rs. 640
Cash received Rs. 128
Excess reserves Rs. 512
The balance sheet shows that Canara Bank now has an
excess reserve of Rs. 512 which can be loaned out and which
in turn creates a derivative deposit of Rs. 512.
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
26/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
It follows from this that, as the process continues,
every time- the liabilities with the banks go on increasing at
diminishing rate. This process will continue to operate until
all the original excess reserves of Rs. 800 with the first bank
have been parceled out among the various banks and have
become the required reserves. As a result, it may be found that
the aggregate of derivative deposits in the entire banking
system, over a period of time approximates five the initial
derivative deposit (credit).

5. ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Because the business of banking involves the
identifying, measuring, accepting managing the risk, the heart
of bank financial management is risk management. One of the
most important risk management functions in banking is Asset
Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management has today
become the most typical subject of any financial institution. It
encompasses the analysis and development of goals and
objectives, the development of long term strategic plans,
periodic profit plans and rate sensitivity management. In one
way or another it has always been the function or
responsibility or Treasury and other financial/strategic
departments. However, of late Asset Liability Management
departments are being established and Asset and Liabilities
committees are being formed within financial institutions.
These committees are often given extraordinary powers
regarding the mix and match of Assets and Liabilities and
have large influence in winding up activities which do not fit
business strategy.
Asset Liability management is concerned with
strategic balance sheet management involving risk caused by
changes in interest rates, exchange rate, credit risk and the
liquidity position of the banks.
Asset Liability Management can hence be broadlydefined as coordinated management of a banks balance sheet
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
28/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
to allow for an alternative interest rate, liquidity and pre-
payment summaries. It is a flexible methodology that allows
the banks to test the inter-relationships between the wide
variety of risk factors including market risks, liquidity risk,
management decisions, uncertain product cycles, etc.
Important of Asset Liability Management:-
Why do we need asset liability management?
In simple terms-a financial institution may have enough assets
to pay off its liabilities. But what if 50% of the liabilities arematuring within the same period? Though the financial
institution has enough assets, it may become temporarily
insolvent due to severe liquidity crisis.
Even if the assets and liability maturity is matched to
a large extent, the interest rates can change during the period
thereby affecting the interest income from assets and interestexpenses on liabilities. Depending upon the movement of
interest rates the net interest margin may increase or decrease
resulting in corresponding increase or decrease resulting in
profit during a certain period.
Some of the reasons for growing significance
of Asset Liability Management are:-
1. Volatility :-
Deregulation of financial system changed the
dynamics of financial markets. The vagaries of such free
economic environment are reflected in interest rate structure,
money supply and the overall credit position of market, the
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
29/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
exchange rates and price levels. For a business, which
involves trading in money, rate fluctuations invariably affect
the market value of the bank and its Net Interest Income
(NII).
2. Product Innovation :-
The second reason for growing the importance of
ALM is rapid innovations take place in financial products of
the bank. While there were some innovations that came as
passing fads, others have received a tremendous response. Inseveral cases, the same product has been repeated with certain
differences and offered by various banks. What ever may be
features of the products, most of them have an impact on the
risk profile of the bank thereby enhancing the need for ALM.
For example, flexi-deposits facility.
3. Regulatory Environment:-
At the international level, the bank for international
settlements (BIS) provides a frame work for banks to tackle
the market risks that may arise due to rate of fluctuations and
excessive credit risk. Central Bank in various countries
(including R.B.I) has issued frameworks and guidelines for
banks to develop Asset Liability Management policies.
4. Management recognition :-
All the above mentioned aspects forced
bank managements to give a serious thought to effective
management of assets and liabilities. The management has
realized that it is just not sufficient to have a very good
7/29/2019 A.L.Mgmt.
30/32
LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
franchisee for credit disbursement, nor is it enough to have
just a very good retail deposit base. In addition to these, a
bank should be in a position to relate and link the asset side
with liability side. And this calls for efficient Asset Liability
Management.
This is increasing awareness in the top management
that banking is now a different game all together since all risk
of the game have since changed.
Objectives of Asset Liability Management:-
The basic objectives of ALM is to manage market risk
in such a way to minimize the impact of net interest income
fluctuations in the short run and protect the net income value
of the bank in the long run. Thus, the objectives of ALM are
as follows:-
1) To control liquidity risk.
2) To control the volatility of net interest income and net
economic value of a bank.
3) To control volatility in all targets accounts.
4) To ensure an acceptable balance between profitability
and growth rate.

LIABILITIES MANAGEMENT
CONCLUSION
The proper management of liability is important for
every bank. Liability management is the activity related withthe collection of funds from depositors and other creditors and
these funds are invested and lent out, in these activities bank
earns some interest.
There are various liabilities of a bank, but capital
and deposits are major liabilities of a bank. Therefore there is
a need of proper management of capital and deposits.
The capital represents the owned fund and it
includes the share capital. If bank have to increase their funds
then there is a need to gain public confidence.
The deposits are real source of a bank. Without
deposits bank cannot do business effectively. Managements ofdeposits are also an important responsibility of a banker.
Management of liability is one of the
critical functions of a bank. It is easier said than done. Banks
normally devise policies for accepting or creating certain
liabilities. The simplest method used for encouraging
liabilities in a specific time zone is allotting incentives by wayof higher interest rate for a particular time zone and offer
lower rate in a time zone where the deposit liabilities are not
wanted by the bank. Each bank follows different practices
depending upon their need, Geographical spread and such
other relevant factors.
