Principles of Sound Lending: 1. Safety: The most important golden rule for granting loans is the safety of funds. The main reason for this is that the very existence of the bank is dependent upon the loans granted by him. In case the bank does not get back the loans granted by it, it might fail. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 2. Liquidity: The second important golden rule of granting loan is liquidity. Liquidity means possibility of converting loans into cash without loss of time and money. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 3. Return or Profitability: Return or profitability is another important principle. The funds of the bank should be invested to earn highest return. However, a bank should not sacrifice either safety or liquidity to earn a high rate of interest. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 4. Diversification: ‘One should not put all his eggs in one basket’ is an old proverb which very clearly explains this principle. A bank should not invest all its funds in one industry. In case that industry fails, the banker will not be able to recover his loans. Hence, the bank may also fail. According to the principle of diversification, the bank should diversify its investments in different industries and should give loans to different borrowers in one industry. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 5. Object of Loan: A banker should thoroughly examine the object for which his client is taking loans. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 6. Security: A banker should grant secured loans only In case the borrower fails to return the loan, the banker may recover his loan after realising the security. In case of unsecured loans, the chances of bad debts will be very high. 2. Rules of Bank lending

Principles of Sound Lending: 7. Character of the Borrower: Last but not the least, the bank should carefully examine the character of the borrower. Character implies honesty, integrity, credit- worthiness and capacity of the borrower to return the loan. In case he fails to verify the character of the borrower, the loans and advances might become bad debts for the bank. 2. Rules of Bank lending
