 As you all have prepared according to the study plan, now it is the time for evaluation. Self evaluation is very important; if you will self evaluate yourself then only you will come to know your weak as well the strong points. Last 10 to 15 days are very crucial, in this period you should evaluate yourself by solving the previous year question papers and give a final touch to every topic, because if you will not give a review to the learnt topics then they will be washed away because most of the topics which you have not given a review fades away with the time. So it is good to give a fresh look to every topic and work on your weak points and strengthen your strong points.

In these crucial days just go through the SWOT Analysis. SWOT stands for (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). This will help you in building your self confidence which is a key to get the success in any field. Let us explain this strategy in brief.

S stands for Strengths:  go through the topics and evaluate yourself that in which topics you have a strong hand and prepare them well and make them an instrument for the fight.  Learn these topics on your fingers so that you can attempt such type of questions in the exam with full accuracy. In simple words you can say just work on your strengths.

 W stands for Weaknesses: work on the topics, in which you are weak, practice them more frequently and try to improve your command on these topics.

O stands for Opportunities:  utilize the opportunities at a right time, this means that the topics in which you have a strong hand try to attempt those in the exam with more accuracy and in less time. This will help in saving your time for the other questions.

T stands for Threats:  this means to say that stay away from the threats such as the negative marking threat. Focus on the quality of the answered questions not on the quantity. Try to attempt the maximum questions with accuracy. Leave the questions in which you have any doubt. Attempting the doubtful questions can ruin your dream of becoming a banker.

 Use these all strategies to achieve your goals. Best of luck students!!!

Savings Bank Account in India

This type of account can be opened with a minimum initial deposit that varies from bank to bank. Money can be deposited any time in this account. Withdrawals can be made either by signing a withdrawal form or by issuing a cheque or by using ATM card. Normally banks put some restriction on the number of withdrawal from this account. Interest is allowed on the balance of deposit in the account. The rate of interest on savings bank account varies from bank to bank and also changes from time to time. A minimum balance has to be maintained in the account as prescribed by the bank. Interest rate is paid to the account holders on daily balance basis.

Current Deposit Account

This type of bank account used to save current deposits. Big businessmen, companies and institutions such as schools, colleges, and hospitals have to make payment through their bank accounts. Since there are restrictions on number of withdrawals from savings bank account, that type of account is not suitable for them. They need to have an account from which withdrawal can be made any number of times. Banks open current account for them. On this deposit bank does not pay any interest on the balances. Rather the account holder pays certain amount each year as operational charge. For the convenience of the account holders banks also allow withdrawal of amounts in excess of the balance of deposit. This facility is known as overdraft facility.

Features of Current Accounts :

 (a) The main objective of Current Account holders in opening these account is to enable them (mostly businessmen) to conduct their business transactions smoothly.

(b) There are no restrictions on the number of times deposit in cash / cheque can be made or the amount of such deposits;

(c)  Usually banks do not have any interest on such current accounts.   However, in recent times some banks have introduced special current accounts where interest (as per banks' own guidelines) is paid

(d) The current accounts do not have any fixed maturity as these are on continuous basis accounts

Fixed Deposit Account (also known as Term Deposit Account)

This type of bank account in India used to save money for long period. Many a time people want to save money for long period. If money is deposited in savings bank account, banks allow a lower rate of interest. Therefore, money is deposited in a fixed deposit account to earn interest at a higher rate.

Recurring Deposit Account

This type of account is suitable for those who can save regularly and expect to earn a fair return on the deposits over a period of time. While opening the account a person has to agree to deposit a fixed amount once in a month for a certain period. The total deposit along with the interest therein is payable on maturity. However, the depositor can also be allowed to close the account before its maturity and get back the money along with the interest till that period. The rate of interest allowed on the deposits is higher than that on a savings bank deposit but lower than the rate allowed on a fixed deposit for the same period.

NRO Deposit Account

NRO stand for Non Resident Ordinary saving account

The Non Resident Ordinary Account (NRO Account) is a Savings / Current. Recurring Deposit / Fixed Deposit bank account held in India, in Indian Rupees. NRO account is opened by any person resident outside India only who want to earn attractive rate of interest in India and also have some earnings in India (such as rent income, dividend, pension, etc).This account is best suited for NRI or PIO who have some earnings in India as these earnings are deposit in NRO account .NRO account is only operated in Indian currency only .Average monthly balance in NRO saving account is Rs1,50,000. NRIs can remit up to 1 million per calendar year. Banks are free to determine their interest rates on savings deposits under Ordinary Non-Resident (NRO) Accounts. However, interest rates offered by banks on NRO deposits cannot be higher than those offered by them on comparable domestic rupee deposits

NRE Account
