Cash Loan (CC)By this understanding, a banker allows his customer to borrow money up to a certain limit. CC is a favorite type of borrowing by traders, industrialists, etc. for meeting their working capital requirements. It is operated like an overdraft account. Depending on the needs of the business, the borrower can draw on his cash Loan account at different time. Similarly, the liability can be used to at any time. The Bank charges interest on the daily balance of the account. Based on the creation of charge on securities, the bank allows are two forms of cash Loan. According to 2010 financial year their Cash Loan (CC) is amount of Tk. 10000000000.

HypothecationIt is cash Loan facility against hypothecation. Hypothecation is a legal responsibility of the borrower to the bank where both title and control of goods remain with the borrower. The banker has only equitable charge on stocks, which practically means nothing. So, Cash Loan (Hypothecation) facility is allowed against sufficient collateral security like registered mortgage of land and building and personal guarantee of Directors. According to 2010 financial year their Cash Loan (Hypo) is amount of Tk. 7,103,025,139.

information; Sends the CLP to the Head Office, General Advances Division for necessary action; Head Office, General Advances Division examines the proposal and if finds it viable

then sanctions it and sends it to the branch; The branch issues two copies of ‘Sanction Advice’, one for its own record and the

other for the party to keep.

After getting the cash Loan arrangement, the banker will issue a claque book for withdrawing cash from the account. Whenever the CC account holder wants to withdraw cash from the account, the cash officer will scrutinize the amount of cherub in order to make sure that the total drawing does not exceed the sanctioned limit.

[4.2] SUGGESTIONS:

Although Loan Operations department is the key department of the banking operations, a number of problems have been detected while working this bank. These problems along with the recommendations for solving them are stated here:

In spite of this found few problems as follows:

BASIC Bank should emphasize on more promotional activities.

To minimize the risks of default loans & deposit, it needs to improve their super in the Loan department, testing supervision is necessary to avoid loan defaulters. The bank official should do regular visit to the project vision and control units.

Information system should be more developed to manage up with the present customer’s need.

Bank must establish more new branches without ado. Bank should increase the DPS interest rate. Bank should set up more ATM booth. BASIC Bank, usually, does not provide overdraft without full coverage of

security. As a result, its overdraft facility is not increasing. Every nationalized bank has huge political involvement. So, BASIC bank

believe that if a portion of its share is sold in stock market, the problem may be overcome.
