Differences Between Scheduled and Non-Scheduled Bank
The difference between scheduled and non-scheduled banks can be drawn clearly on the following premises:
- A banking corporation whose paid up capital is Rs. 5 lacs or more and does not harm the interest of the depositors, is called as Scheduled bank. Unlike, non-scheduled banks are the banks which are not capable of complying with the provision of RBI, for scheduled banks.
- Scheduled banks are the ones covered in the second schedule of the Reserve Bank, whereas non-scheduled banks are the banks that are not covered in the second schedule of the Reserve Bank.
- Scheduled Banks need to maintain cash reserves with RBI, at the rates prescribed by it. On the other hand, Non-Scheduled Bank also needs to keep cash reserves, but with themselves only.
- Scheduled banks are entitled to borrow money from the central bank for regular banking purposes. Conversely, non-scheduled banks are not entitled to borrow money from the central bank for regular banking purposes. Nevertheless, under abnormal conditions, they can request the central bank for accommodation.
- Scheduled banks must submit the periodic returns to the Reserve bank of India. As against, there is no such requirement of submission of periodic returns to the central bank, in case of non-scheduled banks.
- Scheduled banks have the right to become the member in clearing house, while no such facility is allowed to non-scheduled banks.
