2.3.1 Liability Maintenance

This topic describes about the detailed information about the liability maintenance.

Every customer of bank who enjoys credit facilities should be assigned or linked to a liability which is a borrowing entity. Several customers can be linked to the same Liability Code. Liability linkage can be in three ways.
  • Single Liability linked to multiple customers (that is, a Customer Group)
  • Single Liability linked to only one customer
  • Single customer linked to multiple liabilities

Single Liability Linked To Multiple Customers

Here multiple customers are linked to same the Liability Code and all restrictions/facilities maintained at liability level are shared to all the customers.
