माग गरेका बखत जहिले पनि रकम झिक्न सकिने, मुख्यतः व्यवसायीले धेरै कारोबारका लागि प्रयोग गर्ने र सामान्यतया ब्याज नपाइने निक्षेप खाता।
व्याख्या
राष्ट्र बैंकको एकीकृत निर्देशनले मागेको बखत जहिले पनि झिक्न पाउने गरी बैंक वा वित्तीय संस्थामा राखिएको रकमको हरहिसाब लेखिएको खातालाई चल्ती खाता भनेको छ।
विशेषता
- असीमित जम्मा र भुक्तानी; चेकबुक जारी हुन्छ।
- बैंकले यसविरुद्ध धेरै तरलता राख्नुपर्ने भएकाले सामान्यतया ब्याज दिइँदैन।
- कार्यशील पुँजीका लागि अधिविकर्ष सीमासँग जोड्न सकिन्छ।
- व्यक्ति, फर्म, कम्पनी, संस्था र सरकारी कार्यालयले खोल्छन्।
प्रयोग व्यवसायको संकलन र भुक्तानी, तलब, आपूर्तिकर्तालाई भुक्तानी र कर्जा निकासा प्राप्त गर्न (संस्थागत ऋणीको कर्जा सोही बैंकमा रहेको खातामा वा एकाउन्ट पेयी चेकमार्फत निकासा हुन्छ)।
बैंकका लागि चल्ती निक्षेप सस्तो स्रोत हो र खुद ब्याज मार्जिन बढाउँछ, तर अस्थिर हुने भएकाले यसविरुद्ध बढी तरल सम्पत्ति राखिन्छ।
निष्क्रियता एकीकृत निर्देशन नं. १६ बमोजिम एक वर्षभन्दा बढी कारोबार नभएको चल्ती खाता निष्क्रिय गर्नुपर्छ।
