Finacle Commands for Managing Clearing Cheques/ Drafts/ Pay Order /Bills etc

Before going in to Clearing menus and commands lets first understand what clearing is in Banking world. let suppose ,you are a customer of a Bank say State Bank of India (SBI) and A you get a check in your name from some one else that is cheque of say Bank of India (BOI), then the process to clear the cheque and get the amount deposited in your SBI account is , you have to approach to your Branch in SBI, and SBI sent the Cheque to their Service Branch and ultimately Service Branch SBI has to claim this amount from  the Branch of Bank of India (from the Branch where the cheque was issued  which is drawee  in banking terminology) through Bank of India's Service Branch .

 and here the Clearing House comes in to the picture . in a city the clearing center or clearing house is maintained/managed by one bank and  different banks participated in it .it operates under the guidelines of the Central Bank of a country .( in india it is Reservce Bank of India).

      Bankers' clearing house is an organization that transfers money between member banks, originally to clear checks.in the above example to send instruments (cheques,demand drafts or pay order )for collection to other bank is known as Outward Clearing , so here SBI processes the Outward Clearing operation and the Drawee Bank (here BOI), who has to pay by debiting its own customer's account , is known as Inward Clearing. in example BOI processes Inward clearing Operation.

    1. in the above example 1. the SBI branch can directly present the BOI cheque in clearing house for clearing if there is a clearing house in the locality and it participates in the clearing house.
      2.if there is no clearing house in the locality, the SBI branch can send the cheque to its service branch (through OBC). The service branch will present the cheque in clearing house and can claim collection charges from the OBC sender branch.

    2. Every bank maintains current account with the lead bank which has clearing house (a department for clearing operations only). The clearing claims are settled through the current account of the banks. for eg. suppose SBI is the lead bank and has clearing house. In the current account of BoB in SBI it is rs 40k. BoB sent rs 10k for collection (outward collection) and received rs 20k for payment (inward collection) to the clearing house. if there is no return from both collections BoB has to pay rs10k to clearing house. so sbi clearing dept will deduct 10k from BoB's current account and pay to the claiming banks. when there is inadequate balance in d current account, overdraft is given by the lead bank(here in exmpl sbi) n charge is collected for that also.
