company etc.) and profile, a threshold limit of transaction is to be determined. The limit is
to be reviewed and revised from time to time. Any transaction beyond this limit should be
looked into with extra caution.

Activity monitoring should cover all accounts including existing accounts for which profile
should be available with the Branch/Bank. Managers should use reasonable judgment in
determining the suspiciousness of the transaction. The accounts, wherein the suspicious
transactions are found, should to be closely monitored at the branches, so that the
documentary evidence upon which a suspicion is aroused is not lost.

Risk Management
All Banks are required to put in place an effective KYC programme by establishing
appropriate procedures and ensuring their effective implementation. It should cover proper
systems and controls, segregation of duties, training and other related matters.

operations therein will depend on the risk perceived by the bank.

ensuring adherence to the KYC policies and procedures. The compliance function should
provide an independent evaluation of the bank’s own policies and procedures, including
legal and regulatory requirements. Internal Inspectors should specifically check and verify
the application of KYC procedures at the branches/offices and comment on the lapses
observed in this regard. The compliance in this regard may be put up before the Audit

may commence its business immediately after obtaining the certificate of incorporation from the
registrar of companies. Now certificate of commencement of business is to be obtained from
registrar of companies by all newly incorporated public and private companies having share
capital, before commencing the business or exercise of borrowing powers.

Resolution
A company makes decision and speaks by resolution
The copy of the resolution submitted to bank for opening of accounts or for any other purpose
should be signed by the chairman of the meeting (in which it is passed) and countersigned by
the company secretary.

A company cannot pursue an activity which is not mentioned in its memorandum of


Association. It is called doctrine of ultra vires, It is assumed that any person dealing with the
company have read the basic documents viz. memorandum of association and articles of
association of the company. This is known as doctrine of constructive notice. Compliance of
internal rules by the management need not be checked by the outsiders dealing with the
company. This is stated as doctrine of indoor management.

Companies can open accounts with the bank as authorized by resolution, passed by the
company. Deposit accounts with exception of savings bank account can be opened in the
name of the company. Borrowal accounts depending upon the credit facility sanctioned by
bank, can also be opened. Banks do not require introduction while opening accounts in the
name of companies.

Even after the death or insolvency of an authorized signatory of the company, cheques signed by
him will be honored, if otherwise in order. Cash payment of a cheque (even a bearer cheque) in
the name of a limited company (payee) by bank is not in order. Bank will not collect a cheque
endorsed in favour of a director or any company official without proper enquiries. If a company is
not able to pay its debts, it will not be declared insolvent instead will go in liquidation. Liquidation or
windup is the process of dissolution of a company.

Those who enter a joint account should be aware that all partners are liable for all
the dealings in an account as a single or joint entity. So joint accounts should be
opened only with the person one can trust.

Meaning of Nomination
Nomination is the facility given to a depositor, to authorize someone, who, incase of the
depositor’s death, can claim the funds lying in his/her account. There can be only one
nominee in an account and the nominee cannot operate the account during the life of
accountholder/s. Nomination facility is extended to individuals and proprietorship firm only
and not to partnership, company etc. It is advisable that the accountholder nominates
somebody so that the legal heirs don’t have to go through the hassle of paperwork and
documentation, incase the accountholder dies without nominating anyone to claim the
balance in the account. The accountholder has the right to change the nominee, anytime
he wants to.
Effect of Nomination in case of joint accounts
In hierarchy of powers, the nominee comes after each of the account holders. For
example, if a joint account is operated as ‘Former or survivor’ and the former is no
more, the survivor will have the right to receive the money first followed by the
nominee. If the survivor continues to operate the account and over time, he/ she
also dies, then the nominee would get the rights. Or on the other hand, as soon as
the former dies, the survivor can end the account and take out the money. In other
words, If there is a nominee to a joint account, the nominee gets access to the
account only when all the account holders cease to exist. In case of death of the
account holders as well as the nominee, the legal heirs of depositor/s will get the
funds.

Dormant /Inactive accounts:


An account becomes dormant or inactive if there are no customer initiated transactions in
the account for a long period of time, say two years. Such an account can be activated by
accountholder only on resubmission of KYC documents, along with a letter explaining the
reason for non operation in the account. It should be noted however, that even while the
account is in inactive/dormant status, the bank continues to pay interest to the depositor.

EXERCISE
1. Have a group discussion on the account operating instructions given by a

Banking 2019

Mr. Kumar purchases a bond issued by a company with a maturity period of five years.
The issue price of the bond, known as the “face value” or “par value”, is Rs 5000. The
bond bears an interest rate of 15% per annum (known as the “coupon rate”) payable on an
yearly basis. Thus every year an amount of Rs 750 (15% of Rs 5000) will be paid to the
bond holder, Mr. Kumar. At the end of the fifth year, on maturity, an amount of Rs 5000
(face value) will be paid along with the interest for the fifth year. The cash flow would thus
be as follows:

At the end of1st Year2ndrdthth Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year


Cash Flow - Interest 750 750 750 750 750
Cash Flow - par - - - - 5000
value
Total Cash Flow 750 750 750 750 5750

The amounts received by the holder of the bond at the end of each year represent the
cash flow at the end of that year.

In the above example, we see five cash flows occurring at the end of various years. The
fifth cash flow is higher than others as the original amount of the bond, equal to the face
value (or par value) has been paid along with the interest for the fifth year.

THE CONCEPT OF INTEREST


Another concept that we must review for a better understanding of the time value of
money is that of interest, which is primarily of two types - simple interest and compound
interest. In this session, we shall be using only simple interest for calculating present
value and future value. The application of compound interest will be explained in the
subsequent sessions.

SIMPLE INTEREST
The following terms will be used while discussing simple interest:
Principal “P” is the original amount invested, taken as loan etc.
Rate of interest per annum is the rate at which the money grows every year. It can be
expressed either in terms or in decimal form. For example, if money is growing at a rate of
12% per month, rate of interest “r” can be written as
r = 12 % = 12/100 = 0.12
We shall be mostly using the decimal form of rate of interest.

The time for which an amount is invested or taken on loan etc will expressed in number of
years, “n”.

123 V1_002051
9
Banking 2019

Simple Interest on an amount of “P” at the rate of r % per annum for a period of n years is
given by the formula

Simple Interest I = Pnr (“r” is in decimal form ) ----------------- (i)


Total amount after n years (Principal + Interest): A = P + I

or

A = P + Pnr = P(1+nr) ---------------------------------------------(ii)


From equation (ii), we get
P = A / (1+nr) ----------------------------------------------------(iii)

Example-4
A purchased a scooter by obtaining a loan of Rs 30000 at the rate of 15% simple interest
p.a. How much interest in total he will pay if the loan is taken for 3 years?

Solution: Principal P = Rs 30000, r = 15 % = 15/100 = 0.15, n = 3 years.


From formula (i), the total interest paid is
I = 30000 x 3x0.15) = 30000 x 0.45 = Rs 13,500

Example-5
Mr. A invests Rs 7000 at simple interest of 20 % for a period of four years. What amount
will he get after four years?

Solution:
Here P= Rs 7000, r = 20 % = 20/100 = 0.20, n = 4 years. From formula (ii), the amount
received after four years is
A = 7000 x (1+ 4x0.20) = 7000 x 1.80 = Rs 12,600

Example-6
The maturity value of a deposit is Rs 22,100 after 3 years at simple interest of 10% per
annum. What is the principal amount of the deposit?

Solution:
Here A= Rs 22,100, 1 = 20 % = 10/100 = 0.10, n = 3 years.
From formula (iii), the amount received after three years is
P = A / (1+nr) = 22,100 / (1+3x0.10) = 22,100 / 1.30 = Rs 17,000

124 V1_002051
9
Banking 2019 CALCULATION OF PRESENT VALUE AND FUTURE VALUE USING SIMPLE
INTEREST
If present value of an investment made today is Vp and simple rate of interest “r” is
prevalent in the market, then the future value of this investment Vf will be

Vf = Vp (1+nr) -------------------------------------------------------(iii)

Here (1+nr) is called the compounding factor.


Conversely, if future value is known, the present value can be calculated using
the formula
Vp = Vf / (1+nr) ----------------------------------------------------(iv) In the above equation, 1/
(1+nr) is known as the discounting factor.

Let us now see some examples of present value and future value in a scenario where
simple interest is being applied.

Example-7
Mr. A has a surplus amount of Rs 15000 which he can invest in some deposit scheme. If a
simple interest of 12% per annum is being offered in the market, what would the value of
this money after 5 years?

Solution:
In this question a present value of Rs 15000 has been given, and we have to calculate its
future value, which will obviously be more than present value. Here r = 12 % = 12/100
=).12 and n = 5 years, Applying formula (iii), the future value is Vf = 15000/ (1 + 5 x0.12) =
15000 x 1.60 = Rs 24000

This example illustrates the fact that the value of an amount of money received today
increases in future as there is an opportunity to invest it at the interest rate prevailing in the
market.

Example-8
Mr. B has promised to Mr. C that he will give him Rs 12000 after two years. What is the
present worth of this amount, if a simple interest rate of 15 % is prevailing in the market?

Solution:
In this question a future value of Rs 12000 has been given, and we have to calculate its
present value, which will be less than future value. Thus the rate given here (15 %) is
discount rate, and we have to use the discounting factor for the purpose. Here r = 15 %
and n = 2 years, Applying the present value is
Vp = 12000 / (1 + 2x0.15) = 12000 / 1.30 = Rs 9231

125 V1_002051
9
Banking 201

As may be observed from the above example, if some money received in future is, its
value today is less. than the amount actually received.
We have seen above that calculation of present value and future value depends on two
factors - interest rate/ discount rate “r” and time period “n”. We have assumed other
factors associated with the money market, i.e. inflation, fluctuation in currency prices
etc. to be constant, as they are highly unpredictable and involve complicated
calculations. For a basic understanding of the concept of time value of money (present
value and future value) learning about the impact 0f these two factors is adequate.

It is easy to see that both increase and decrease in time value of money are directly
proportional to both interest (and discount) rate and time period. Thus, the value of money
goes up or down to a larger degree with the increase in these factors.

In this session we have limited ourselves to calculations involving simple rate of interest
and a single cash flow for the sake of a basic understanding of time value of money.
However, in real life situations, we have to mostly deal with compound interest and
multiple cash flows. These will be discussed in detail in the subsequent Sessions.

10.2 : POWER OF COMPOUNDING

RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE
While calculating simple interest on a sum of money, at the end of every year interest is
calculated on the original amount only, that is, on the “principal” only. Thus the amount
of interest applied each year remains the same. In the case of compound interest, at the
end of each specified period interest is applied on the principal plus the entire interest
already accumulated.

The specified period for interest application (the interval at which interest is applied) can
be a year, six months, three months, one month, one day or any other interval. This
process of adding the interest already applied to the principal, before calculating further
interest, is known as compounding. Thus compounding can be yearly, half-yearly
quarterly, monthly, daily, and so on.

The difference between simple interest and compound interest can be understood easily
through the following example:

Example-1
Suppose a person invests Rs 10,000 for 4 years in deposit scheme “A” offering simple
interest at the rate of 12 % per annum. Simultaneously, he also deposits the same amount
for same period in another scheme “B” which offers the same rate of interest, but on yearly
compounding basis. The growth of money in the two schemes will be as follows:

Scheme-A:
Simple interest @ 12 % p.a. r = 12/100 = 0.12 Principal P = 10,000
AT THE END INTEREST APPLIED INTEREST APPLIED CUMULATIVE
OF ON (P’) (P’r) BALANCE
1st YEAR 10,000 1,200 11,200
2nd YEAR 10,000 1,200 12,400
3rd YEAR 10,000 1,200 13,600
4th YEAR 10,000 1,200 14,800

On maturity of the deposit: Amount received : Rs 14,800

Total interest received = 1,200 + 1,200 + 1,200 +1,200 = Rs 4,800

Scheme-B:
Compound interest @ 12 % p.a. r = 12/ 100 = 0.12 Principal P = 10,000
AT THE END INTEREST APPLIED INTEREST APPLIED CUMULATIVE
OF ON (P’) (P’r) BALANCE
1st YEAR 10,000 1,200 11,200
2nd YEAR 11,200 1,344 12,544
3rd YEAR 12,544 1505.28 14049.28
4th YEAR 14049.28 1685.91 15735.19

On maturity of the deposit: Total amount received = Rs 15,735.19


Total interest received = 1,200 + 1,344 + 1,505.28 + 1,685.91 = Rs 5,735.19

Thus we see that


a) The total amount received after a number of years is more when compound
interest is applied instead of simple interest.
b) At the end of the first year, both the total amount and interest are same in the
two cases. However, second year onwards, these are more in the case of
compound interest.

The process used above for calculating compound interest is quite tedious. We shall be
using a simple formula for the purpose
AN IMPORTANT FORMULA USED IN THE COMPOUNDING PROCESS
For a clear understanding of the compounding process, let us consider the following
example:

Example-2
A quantity “P” increases by “p%” four times with compounding. What is the final value of
“Q”? You may express percentage increase in decimal form as r = p/100.

Solution:
We know that p% of Q is Q x p/100 = Qr where r = p/100 is the percentage increase in
decimal form. thus with p% increase once, the value of Q increases to P + Pr = P (1+r).
Thus to increase P by p % or p/100 = r, we have to multiply it by (1+r).

On increasing second time by the same percent, the value of P becomes

2
P (1+r)(1+r) = P(1+r)

On increasing third time by the same percent, the value of Q becomes

129 V1_002051
9
Banking 201
9

P (1+r)(1+r)(1+r) = P(1+r)3

Finally, on increasing fourth time, the value of Q becomes

n
P (1+r)(1+r)(1+r)(1+r) = P(1+r)

Thus we have arrived at an important formula:


On increasing a quantity “P” successively “n” times by a percentage of “r”
n
(expressed in decimal terms), its final value becomes P(1+r) -------------- (v)

What is stated above is nothing but compounding effect. In each step, we have applied
the compounding factor (1+r) to the previous value to obtain the new value.
Example-3
The population of a metropolitan city is 70,00,000. If the population increases by 14%
every year, what would be the population after 3 years?

Solution:
Here percentage increase
p = 14%. The percentage increase in decimal terms r = p/100 = 14/100 =
0.14. The population after 3 years = 70, 00,000 x (1+0.14)3 = 70,00,000 x
1.143 = 103,70,808

Now we are in a position to understand the formulae used for calculating compound
interest.

CALCULATION OF COMPOUND INTEREST


The following parameters are relevant to the calculation of compound interest:
I. The original amount before application of interest is called the Principal, and will be
denoted by “P”
II. The applicable rate of interest per annum or per year will be denoted as “r”. We
shall be using r in decimal form. For example, if the rate of interest is 16 % per
annum, then r = 16% = 16/100 = 0.16

Although the periodicity of compounding rate can be of different durations (yearly, half
yearly etc.), the interest rate is generally given on an yearly basis. The rate of interest
applicable to various types of compounding, “i”, is calculated as shown in the table below:

130 V1_002051
9
Banking 2019

Suppose the given interest rate r = 24% = 24/100 =0.24 per annum (per year)
Type of Compounding Compounding APPLICABLE RATE OF
Compounding Period Periods Per Year INTEREST “i”
Yearly One Year 1 i = r = 0.24
Half-yearly 6 months =1/2 2 i = r/2 = 0.24/2 = 0.12
year
Quarterly 3 months =1/4 4 i = r/4 = 0.24/4 = 0.06
year
Monthly 1 month = 1/12 12 i = r/12 = 0.24/12 = 0.02
year

Thus we see that the rate of interest applicable to a compounding period

Rate of Interest per annum


i = --------------------------------------------------------
Number of Compounding Periods per year

ii. The total time period over which the calculations take place will be denoted by
number of years “n”.
ii. The compound interest accumulated over n years will be denoted by I.
ii. The total amount accumulated (principal+interest) over n years will be denoted
by A.
Thus, A = P + I ---------------------------------------------(vi)

In problems based on compound interest, it is more convenient to first calculate the total
amount “A”. The compound interest can thereafter be calculated using the formula:

I = A - P ----------------------------------------------(vii)

Now we are in a position to derive equations for calculating total amount and

CALULATION OF TOTAL AMOUNT WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPOUNDING

b) Half Yearly Compounding:
In half yearly compounding, interest is applied (i.e. compounding is done) every six
months i.e. two times per year. Thus in “n” years, compounding is done “2n” times.
Since “r” percent in decimal terms is the interest for one year, the interest factor to
be applied every six months is “r/2” and the compounding factor is (1 + r/2). Hence,
the total amount after “n” years

c) Quarterly Compounding:
In half quarterly compounding, interest is applied (i.e. compounding is done) every
three months i.e. four times per year. Thus in “n” years, compounding is done “4n”
times. Since “r” percent in decimal terms is the interest for one year, the interest
factor to be applied every three months is “r/4” and the compounding factor is (1 +
r/4). Hence, the total amount after “n” years
r4n
A = P (1 + /4 ) ---------------------------------------(ix)
Compound interest accumulated in “n” years

c) Monthly Compounding:
In monthly compounding, interest is applied (i.e. compounding is done) every month
i.e. 12 times per year. Thus in “n” years, compounding is done “12n” times. Since “r”
percent in decimal terms is the interest for one year, the interest factor to be applied
every month is “r/12” and the compounding factor is (1 + r/12). Hence, the total
amount after “n” years

A = P (1 + /12 ) --------------------------------------(ix)

d) Weekly Compounding:
In weekly compounding, interest is applied (i.e. compounding is done) every week
i.e. 52 times per year. Thus in “n” years, compounding is done “52n” times. Since “r”
percent in decimal terms is the interest for one year, the interest factor to be applied

Compound interest accumulated in “n” years

e) Daily Compounding:
In daily compounding, interest is applied (i.e. compounding is done) every day i.e.
times per year. Thus in “n” years, compounding is done “365n” times. Since “r”
percent in decimal terms is the interest for one year, the interest factor to be applied
every is “r/365” and the compounding factor is (1 + 1r/365). Hence, the total amount
after “n” years

Now let us take up an example to illustrate calculation of the final amount received on
application of simple interest and different types of compound interest
Example-4
Mr. Harish Kumar invests Rs 20,000 in each of the five schemes I, II, III, IV and V. Interest
rate offered in all the schemes is 12% per annum and the time period of investment is five
years. Scheme I offers simple rate of interest, while schemes II, III, IV and V offer interest
compounded at yearly, half-yearly, quarterly and monthly intervals respectively. Calculate
the final amount and accumulated interest received at the end of five years in each of the
schemes.

Solution:
We shall be solving this problem in a tabular form. In all the schemes, P = Rs 20000, r =
12% = 12/100 = 0.12 per annum and n = 5 years
SchemeInterest Offered Total Amount “A” after 5Accumulated Interest (A

I Simple P(1+nr) = 20000(1+ 5x0.12) 32000 - 20000

II Compounded Yearly 35247 - 20000

The following conclusions may be drawn from the above example:

a) The total amount received after an years is higher when compound interest is
applied as compared to the amount received on application of simple
interest.
b) The total amount increases with the increase in the frequency of

compounding.

This example thus demonstrates adequately the power of compounding.

GENERAL FORMULA FOR COMPOUNDING


We are now in a position to write down a general formula for compounding.
If the principal amount is “P”, rate of interest in decimal terms is “r” per annum and
compounding is done “m” times per year , then the total amount “A” after “n” years is

rmn
A = P (1 + /m ) --------------------------------------(xi)

Here r/m is the interest rate per compounding period, which we shall be denoting by “i”.
Thus the above formula can also be written as

A = P ( 1 + i ) mn where i = r/m ----------------------(xii)

Example-5
Find the total amount and interest on Rs.50000 invested for two years at 10% p.a, interest
being compounded annually

SOLUTION:
n
Total Amount A = P(1+r) = 50000 (1+0.10)2 = Rs 60500
Compound Interest = A - P = 60500 - 50000 = Rs 10500

Example-6

134 V1_002051

Banking 2019

Find the total amount and interest on Rs.11000 invested for two years at 8% p.a, interest
being compounded half yearly.

4
(1.04) = Rs 12868.44

Compound Interest = A - P = 12868.44 - 11000 = Rs 1868.44

Example-7
Find the total amount and interest on Rs.7, 00,000 invested for two years at 10% p.a.,
interest being compounded quarterly.
SOLUTION:
Total Amount A =
4x28
P(1+r/4)4n = 7,00,000 (1+0.10/4 ) = 7,00,000 (1.025) = Rs 8,52,882

Compound Interest = A - P = 8,52,882 - 7,00,0000 = Rs 1,52,882

CALCULATING FUTURE VALUE OF MONEY WITH COMPOUNDING EFFECT


Let the present value of a sum of money be Vp. If the compound interest rate prevailing in
the market (expressed in decimal form) is r with a compounding frequency of n times in a
year. Suppose this money is invested in some scheme at this rate and it grows to an
amount Vf after n years. Then Vf, which is nothing but future value, can be calculated using
formula (xii):

rmn
Vf = Vp ( 1 + /m ) --------------------------------------(xi)
or

mnr
Vf = Vp ( 1 + i ) where i = /m ----------------------(xii)
Thus in n years, the value of money equal to Vp (present value) increases to Vf (future
value) due to compounding effect.

Example-8
The prevailing market rate at which investments can be made is 12% per annum. You
have a spare amount of Rs 6000 which can be invested. Find the future value of this
amount after four years.

135 V1_002051
9
Banking 2019

a) Yearly compounding b) Half-yearly compounding

Solution:
Here the present value Vp = Rs 6000, r = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12 and n = 4 years. We shall
be using formula (xii) for calculating future value VF after 4 years

a) In the case of yearly compounding, frequency of compounding m = 1 and the


compounding rate i = r/m = 0.12/1 = 0.12. Thus the value after 4 years Vf =

mn 1x4 4
Vp ( 1 + i ) = 6000 ( 1 + 0.12 ) = 6000x( 1.12 ) = Rs 9441

b) In the case of half-yearly compounding, frequency of compounding m = 2 and


the compounding rate i = r/m = 0.12/2 = 0.06. Thus the value after 4 years V f
mn 2x4 8
= Vp ( 1 + i ) = 6000 ( 1 + 0.06 ) = 6000x( 1.06 ) = Rs 9563
THE CONCEPT OF DISCOUNTING
While the compounding an amount leads to an increase in its value, discounting of an
amount leads to a reduction in its value. In the discounting process is the opposite of the
compounding process. Let us take a simple example.

Example:
Let
(in an amount of “P” (original amount) be invested today for “n” years at the rate of “r”
decimal form) compounded annually. Suppose in n years it grows to an amount “A” (final
amount). Then we have

n
A = P (1+r)

Now, in the same problem, if we have been given the final amount after n years as A, the
original amount can be calculated using the formula

n n
P = A / (1+r) or P = A x 1/ (1+r)

Here 1/ (1+r) n is known as the discounting factor.

n
Hence we see that if after applying the compounding factor (1+r) the final value is “A”,

n
we can obtain the original value by multiplying “A” by the discounting factor 1/ (1+r)
FINDING PRESENT VALUE USING THE CONCEPT OF DISCOUNTING

136 V1_002051

Banking 2019

Let the present value of a sum of money be Vp. If the compound interest rate prevailing in
the market (expressed in decimal form) is r with a compounding frequency of n times in a
year. Suppose this money is invested in some scheme at this rate and it grows to an
amount Vf after n years. Then from formula (xi), Vp, the current value, can be calculated
using formula:

rmn
Vp = Vf ( 1 + /m ) ---------------------------------------------------(xiii)
or

mn
Vp = Vf (1 + i) where i =r /m --------------------------------(xiv)

Example-9
The prevailing market rate at which investments can be made is 8 % per annum. There is
a likelihood of your receiving an amount of Rs 11000 three years from now. Find the
present value of this amount..

a) Yearly discounting b) Quarterly discounting

Solution:
Here the future value Vf = Rs 11000, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08 and n = 3 years. We shall be
using formula (xiv) for calculating the present value Vp .

a) In the case of yearly compounding, frequency of compounding m = 1 and the


compounding rate i = r/m = .08/1 = 0.08. Thus the present value

11000 11000
Vp = ---------------------- = ---------- = Rs 8732
1x33
(1 + 0.08) (1.08)
b) In the case of quarterly compounding, frequency of compounding m = 4 and
the compounding rate i = r/m = .08/4 = 0.02. Thus the present value

Vp = ----------------- = -------------- = Rs 8673

From the above example, we see that with the increase in the frequency of compounding,
the present value decreases. That is, the frequency of compounding and the present value
are inversely proportional to each other.

single cash flows. The same methods apply to multiple cash flows. This will be explained

Many people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with an intent to
reply. Many people keeps themselves busy in preparation of the reply rather than
listening to the speaker and understand thoroughly what the speaker wants to
convey.

13. Repeating the Message or Paraphrase


Another listening technique that is very useful is distilling what you just heard and
repeating it back to the speaker in short form. Paraphrase this with "So, what you
are saying is..." and recap what he just told you. This truly shows that you were
listening and paying attention. It also signifies that you care about the message the
speaker is trying to impart and that you want to make sure you heard them
correctly. If a conversation with an unhappy customer includes paraphrasing what
you think you understand so you can help solve a problem. Thus, the customer
feels validated and understood. This often diffuses a situation.
