Since the mortgage deed by Canara Bank was executed earlier, it will have priority over the equitable mortgage created by Syndicate Bank. Therefore, Canara Bank will have priority in this situation.

    The effect of non-registration of a charge on the assets of a company by the financing bank is that the bank will become an unsecured creditor. This means that in the event of the company's insolvency or liquidation, the bank will not have priority over other creditors who have registered their charges. However, it is important to note that in the case of a mortgage, registration is not required as the mortgage is considered supreme. Additionally, in the case of a pledge of goods, registration is also not required. Therefore, options A, B, and D are correct.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the request to cancel the names of A and B will be declined as any one of the original names should be maintained.

If all the original names are canceled, it would essentially result in the closure of the joint account.

    • E.

    Correct Answer
    B. All securities can be given to the guarantor in the right of subrogation.
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that all securities can be given to the guarantor in the right of subrogation. This means that the guarantor, who has cleared the liability of the principal borrower, can claim the securities lodged with the bank as their own. Subrogation refers to the substitution of one person or entity for another in relation to a claim or right, in this case, the guarantor is being substituted for the principal borrower in terms of the securities. Therefore, the bank can transfer the securities to the guarantor as per their right of subrogation.

    • A.

      Regular Debt

    • B.

      Time barred Debt

    • C.

      Revived Debt

    • D.

      Ascertained and quantifiable debt

    • E.

      Contingent Debt

    Correct Answer
    E. Contingent Debt
    Explanation
    The bank cannot exercise the right of set off in respect of contingent debt. Contingent debt refers to a liability that may or may not arise in the future, depending on the occurrence of a specific event. Since the debt is uncertain and not yet ascertained or quantifiable, the bank cannot offset it against any other existing debts or credits. The right of set off allows the bank to offset mutual debts and credits between the bank and its customer, but contingent debt does not fulfill the criteria for set off.

    • D.

      Right of Lien is not barred by Limitation

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Right of Lien is not barred by Limitation
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the right of lien is not barred by limitation. This means that there is no specific time limit within which a person can exercise their right of lien. Lien is a legal right that allows a person to retain possession of someone else's property until a debt or obligation is paid. Since there is no limitation period, a person can exercise their right of lien at any time, as long as the debt or obligation remains unpaid.

    • E.

      All the above may be applied on a case to case basis

    Correct Answer
    D. Adjust the TOD and Pay balance amount to Official Receiver
    Explanation
    In this case, the bank will adjust the TOD (Term deposit) against the claim received from the Official Receiver. This means that the bank will deduct the amount of the TOD from the deposit and pay the remaining balance to the Official Receiver. This is because the depositor, Mr. A, has been adjudged as insolvent and the Official Receiver has a legal claim on the deposit. Therefore, the bank is required to adjust the TOD and pay the balance amount to the Official Receiver.

    Rate this question:

  • 14.

      Term Deposit Receipt

    • C.

      Book Debt

    • D.

      Overdraft availed at Bank

    • E.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. Overdraft availed at Bank
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Overdraft availed at Bank." An actionable claim refers to a legal right to claim or demand something from someone. A term deposit receipt, life insurance policy, and book debt are all examples of actionable claims as they represent a legal right to receive a specific amount of money or benefit. However, an overdraft availed at a bank is not considered an actionable claim because it is a facility provided by the bank to withdraw more money than what is available in the account, and it does not involve a legal right to claim a specific amount of money.

    • A.

      True

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because safe deposit locker services are generally not provided to minors, regardless of their age. Minors do not have the legal capacity to enter into contracts, and therefore, they cannot be held responsible for the contents of the locker or any liabilities associated with it. Hence, banks usually require customers to be at least 18 years old to avail of safe deposit locker services.

However, loan accounts do not have a nomination facility as they involve borrowing money from the bank rather than depositing money into the account.

This action allows the bank to have a stronger position in recovering the loan amount and mitigating potential losses.

    • D.

      All the above

    • E.

      A & B above

    Correct Answer
    E. A & B above
    Explanation
    Banks prefer hypothecation charge while lending to companies instead of pledge because hypothecation can be registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under Section 125 of the Companies Act. This registration serves as a notice to third parties, providing a legal safeguard for the bank. On the other hand, there is no provision to register a pledge with the ROC under the Companies Act. Additionally, companies do not prefer pledge as they may need to use the goods for their high volume of transactions at any time. Therefore, both options A and B are correct explanations for why banks prefer hypothecation charge over pledge.
