Working hard is not enough: Work Smart

Once upon a time, there were two woodcutters. They had an argument - who can cut more trees in a day. They decided to cut the trees next day from morning 10:00 AM to evening 6:00 PM and see who can cut more.

 Both woodcutters took up their position in the morning. Initially, they worked at one speed. But, after one hour, one of them heard, that the other one had stopped cutting trees. Realizing that this was his chance, the first woodcutter started to cut trees with double efforts.

 Ten minutes passed, and he heard that the second woodcutter started to work again. They were working almost synchronously, when the first woodcutter heard that his opponent has stopped again.
 The first woodcutter started to work, feeling the smell of victory.

Banking Awareness - Budget Deficit

Banking Awareness - Budget Deficit

Hello Readers,
Here we are presenting a post on "Understanding Budget Deficit". Hope you like the post!!

A budget deficit occurs when expenditures exceed revenue. The term "budget deficit" is most commonly used to refer to government spending rather than business or individual spending. When referring to accrued federal government deficits, the term "national debt” is also used.

The opposite of a budget deficit is a budget surplus, and when total expenditure equals total revenue, the budget is considered balanced. When countries or businesses experience budget deficits, they have to borrow money in order to avoid bankruptcy.

Banks can be classified into commercial banks and central bank. Commercial banks are those which provide banking services for profit. The central bank has the function of controlling commercial banks and various other economic activities. There are many types of commercial banks such as deposit banks, industrial banks, savings banks, agricultural banks, exchange banks, and miscellaneous banks.

1. Deposit Banks: The most important type of deposit banks is the commercial banks. They have connection with the commercial class of people. These banks accept deposits from the public and lend them to needy parties. Since their deposits are for short period only, these banks extend loans only for a short period. Ordinarily these banks lend money for a period between 3 to 6 months. They do not like to lend money for long periods or to invest their funds in any way in long term securities.

2. Industrial Banks: Industries require a huge capital for a long period to buy machinery and equipment. Industrial banks help such industrialists. They provide long term loans to industries. Besides, they buy shares and debentures of companies, and enable them to have fixed capital. Sometimes, they even underwrite the debentures and shares of big industrial concerns. The important functions of industrial banks are:

1. They accept long term deposits.
2. They meet the credit requirements of industries by extending long term loans.
3. These banks advise the industrial firms regarding the sale and purchase of shares and debentures.
