This process contains another sub-process that is associated with the main activities and through this process all the activities must be done. These are;

A. 1: Outward Clearing Cheque:

In this process parties deposit their amount through another bank’s cheque. It like that an individual hearing an A/C with SBL conies to deposit a cheque of UCBL which is issued for him. But how is it possible? This amount will be credited through clearing house. In general. It takes minimum two working days to pass. If it is dishonored by any cause it must be informed to party.

Outward Collection Cheque:

This collection procedure depends on the out side cheque. For instance, a party A/C is at AHMB of SBL. A cheque of Rajshahi Branch of EBL has been issued in the name of the above party and has been deposited to his A/C by him just to increase amount of money. Now how will he collected? In this case AHMB will send this cheque to their Rajshahi Branch and this branch will collect this money from the EBL through clearing procedure at Rajshahi. If the Rajshahi is failed to collect the amount the cheque must be sent to the AH\IB directly. On the other hand if the can do it they will send an IBCA as LSC (Local Short Credit) to AHMB.

Inward Bills Collection:

It has also some sub-points that are associated with the main topic. That is discussed in the following:

Inward Clearing Cheque:

These are the clearing cheques which have been passed by first Clearing House. It is also this branch’s (AHMB/SBL) cheque that has been deposited to another bank.

In this case only some additional vouchers are prepared to cut down sum of money from the parties account as commission for the collection. Here the following accounts will be debit and credit

Cash Department:
