A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit, a financial product commonly sold in the United States and elsewhere by banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions.

CDs are similar to savings accounts in that they are insured "money in the bank" and thus virtually risk free. In the USA, CDs are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for banks and by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for credit unions. They differ from savings accounts in that the CD has a specific, fixed term (often one, three, or six months, or one to five years) and, usually, a fixed interest rate. The bank intends that the customer hold the CD until maturity, at which time they can withdraw the money and accrued interest.

In exchange for the customer depositing the money for an agreed term, institutions usually grant higher interest rates than they do on accounts that customers can withdraw from on demand—though this may not be the case in an inverted yield curve situation. Fixed rates are common, but some institutions offer CDs with various forms of variable rates. For example, in mid-2004, interest rates were expected to rise—and many banks and credit unions began to offer CDs with a "bump-up" feature. These allow for a single readjustment of the interest rate, at a time of the consumer's choosing, during the term of the CD. Sometimes, financial institutions introduce CDs indexed to the stock market, bond market, or other indices.

Some features of CDs are:

A larger principal should/may receive a higher interest rate.
A longer term usually earns a higher interest rate, except in the case of an inverted yield curve (e.g., preceding a recession).
Smaller institutions tend to offer higher interest rates than larger ones.
Personal CD accounts generally receive higher interest rates than business CD accounts.
Banks and credit unions that are not insured by the FDIC or NCUA generally offer higher interest rates.
CDs typically require a minimum deposit, and may offer higher rates for larger deposits. The best rates are generally offered on "Jumbo CDs" with minimum deposits of $100,000.

The consumer who opens a CD may receive a paper certificate, but it is now common for a CD to consist simply of a book entry and an item shown in the consumer's periodic bank statements. That is, there is often no "certificate" as such. Consumers who want a hard copy that verifies their CD purchase may request a paper statement from the bank, or print out their own from the financial institution's online banking service.

A promissory note, sometimes referred to as a note payable, is a legal instrument (more particularly, a financial instrument and a debt instrument), in which one party (the maker or issuer) promises in writing to pay a determinate sum of money to the other (the payee), either at a fixed or determinable future time or on demand of the payee, under specific terms. If the promissory note is unconditional and readily saleable, it is called a negotiable instrument.

The term note payable is commonly used in accounting (as distinguished from accounts payable) or commonly as just a "note", it is internationally defined by the Convention providing a uniform law for bills of exchange and promissory notes, but regional variations exist. A banknote is frequently referred to as a promissory note, as it is made by a bank and payable to bearer on demand. Mortgage notes are another prominent example.

A promissory note is defined as an instrument in writing (not being a bank note or a currency note), containing an unconditional undertaking signed by the maker, to pay a certain sum of money only to or to the order of a certain person, or to the bearer. It is governed by Section 4 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The features of promissory note are:

3. It should be signed by the maker.
4. The payment should be made to a certain person.
5. The certainty of the amount payable should be there.
6. It should be stamped.
Parties to a Promissory Note:
To a promissory note, there are two parties viz. ‘Maker’ and the ‘Payee’.
The maker is the person who makes and signs the note. He agrees to pay a certain amount on the date of maturity. The person in whose favor the promissory note is drawn is called payee. He is also known as drawee or promisee.

With a view to further widening the range of money market instruments and giving investors greater flexibility in deployment of their short-term surplus funds, Certificates of Deposit were introduced in India in 1989. Certificate of Deposit (CD) is a negotiable money market instrument and issued in dematerialised form or as a Usance Promissory Note against funds deposited at a bank or other eligible financial institution for a specified time period.
CDs can be issued by (i) scheduled commercial banks {excluding Regional Rural Banks and Local Area Banks}.(ii) All-India Financial Institutions that have been permitted by RBI to raise short-term resources within the umbrella limit fixed by RBI.
Minimum amount of a CD should be Rs.1 lakh, i.e., the minimum deposit that could be accepted from a single subscriber should not be less than Rs.1 lakh, and in multiples of Rs. 1 lakh thereafter.
The maturity period of CDs issued by banks should not be less than 7 days and not more than one year, from the date of issue. The Financial Institutions can issue CDs for a period not less than 1 year and not exceeding 3 years from the date of issue.

A certificate of deposit or what is popularly known as CDs is nothing but money market instruments that are issued by banks and select Financial institutions in lieu of the money that is deposited.
In India CDs cannot be issued by everyone. They are specifically issued by: a) Commercial Banks in India b) Financial institutions like IFCI
Unlike bank deposits that are issued in very nominal amounts, a certificate of deposit should have a minimum amount of Rs 1 lakh. This is the minimum amount and that too by single issuer. It has to be in multiples of Rs 1 lakh thereafter
These instruments can be invested by companies, individuals, trusts, funds, banks and associations, etc. Interestingly, RBI norms allow Non-Resident Indians or NRIs to also invest in CDs. However these NRIs cannot repatriate the maturity amount so invested in the certificates of deposits. Interestingly, these CDs also cannot be endorsed to another NRI.
The maturity period depends on the type of investor one is. For CDs issued by banks the maturity period should not be less than 7 days and not more than one year.
CDs that are not held in the electronic form can be freely transferred by just endorsement and delivery. CDs in demat form can be transferred as per the procedure applicable to other demat securities.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a savings certificate with a fixed and fixed interest rate. A CD can restrict access to the funds until the maturity date of the investment. A CD is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. A CD is typically issued via online platform and may automatically renew upon the maturity of original CD. When the CD matures, the entire amount of principal, as well as interest earned, is available for withdrawal. Although it is still possible to withdraw money from a CD prior to the maturity date, this action will often incur a penalty. This penalty is referred to as an early withdrawal penalty, and the total amount depends on the length of the CD as well as the issuing institution.

Students and Promissory Notes:-
Many people sign their first promissory notes as part of the process in getting a student loan. Private lenders typically require students to sign promissory notes for each separate loan that they take out. Some schools, however, allow federal student loan borrowers to sign a one-time, master promissory note. After that, the student borrower can receive multiple federal student loans as long as the school certifies the student's continued eligibility.

A certificate of deposit is an agreement to deposit money for a fixed period with a bank that will pay you interest. You can choose to invest for three months, six months, one year or five years. You will receive a higher interest rate for the longer time commitment. You promise to leave all the money, plus the interest, with the bank for the entire term.

In effect, you are lending the bank your money in return for interest.The CD is a promissory note that the bank issues you. That's how banks acquire the cash they need to make loans. The interest you receive is less than the pay earns for lending it out. That's how banks earn a profit. But you earn a higher interest rate than you would for an interest-bearing checking account. That because you can't withdraw the funds for the agreed-upon time. There are three advantages to CDs. First, your funds are safe. The X bank insures CDs up to $250,000. The federal government guarantees you will never lose your principal. For that reason, they have less risk than bonds, stocks or other more volatile investments.

Second, they offer higher interest rates than interest-bearing checking and savings account. They also offer higher interest rates than other safe investments, such as money-market accounts or money market funds.

You can shop around for the best rate. Small banks will offer better rates because they need the funds. Online-only banks will offer higher rates than brick and mortar banks because their costs are lower.

A promissory note is a monetary instrument that contains a composed guarantee by one party (the note's guarantor or creator) to pay another party (the note's payee) an unequivocal entirety of cash, either on request or at a predetermined future date. A promissory note normally contains every one of the terms relating to the obligation, for example, the principal amount, interest rate, maturity date, date and place of issuance, and issuer's signature.

Although financial institutions may issue them, promissory notes are obligation instruments that enable organizations and people to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or an organization willing to convey the note (and give the financing) under the settled upon terms. In actuality, anybody turns into a bank when he issues a promissory note.

A certificate of deposit (CD) is a reserve funds certificate with a settled development date, indicated settled loan fee and can be issued in any category beside least venture prerequisites. A CD confines access to the assets until the point that the development date of the venture. CDs are for the most part issued by business banks.A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a period deposit that limits holders from pulling back assets on request.

A written, signed, unconditional promise to pay a certain amount of money on demand at a specified time. A written promise to pay money that is often used as a means to borrow funds or take out a loan.

The individual who promises to pay is the maker, and the person to whom payment is promised is called the payee or holder. If signed by the maker, a promissory note is a negotiable instrument. It contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain sum to the order of a specifically named person or to bearer—that is, to any individual presenting the note. A promissory note can be either payable on demand or at a specific time.

Certain types of promissory notes, such as corporate bonds or retail installment loans, can be sold at a discount—an amount below their face value. The notes can be subsequently redeemed on the date of maturity for the entire face amount or prior to the due date for an amount less than the face value. The purchaser of a discounted promissory note often receives interest in addition to the appreciated difference in the price when the note is held to maturity.

PROMISSORY NOTE
A promissory note is a written and signed contract in which one party promises to pay a specified amount of money to the other party. The terms of a promissory can be tailored to the parties’ needs, as far as the amount borrowed, whether interest will be charged, the schedule or date by which the money must be repaid, and any other needed particulars. There is no requirement that a promissory note be made on a certain type of paper or document, or that it contain complex language, though it is important to be as specific as possible. In fact, a promissory written and signed on a scrap piece of paper, back of a napkin, or even in an email or text message, is just as valid as a note drawn up by a lawyer.Types of Promissory Note Though every good promissory note contains certain elements, there are several types of promissory note. These notes are largely classified by the type of loan issued, or purpose for the loan. All of the following types of promissory note are legally binding contracts. Personal Promissory Note This type is used to record a personal loan made between two parties. While not all lenders use legal writings when dealing with friends and family, it helps avoid confusion and hurt feelings later. A personal promissory note shows good faith on behalf of the borrower, and provides the lender with recourse should the borrower fail to pay back the loan.

A personal promissory note shows good faith on behalf of the borrower, and provides the lender with recourse should the borrower fail to pay back the loan.
Commercial Promissory Note
A commercial promissory note is typically required with commercial lenders. Commercial promissory notes are often more strict than personal notes. If the borrower defaults on its loan, the commercial lender is entitled to immediate payment of the full balance, not just the past due amount. In most cases, the lender on a commercial promissory note can place alien on the borrower’s property until payment in full is received.
Real Estate Promissory Note
A real estate promissory note is similar to a commercial note, as it often stipulates that a lien can be placed on the borrower’s home or other property if he defaults. If the borrower does default on a real estate loan, the information can become public record.
Investment Promissory Notes
An investment promissory note is often used in a business transaction. Investment promissory notes are exchanged to raise capital for the business, and they often contain clauses that deal with returns on investments for specific periods of time.

CDs


Who can invest in certificate of deposits or CDs?

These instruments can be invested by companies, individuals, trusts, funds, banks and associations, etc. Interestingly, RBI norms allow Non-Resident Indians or NRIs to also invest in CDs. However these NRIs cannot repatriate the maturity amount so invested in the certificates of deposits.

Interestingly, these CDs also cannot be endorsed to another NRI.

Maturity period for certificate of deposits

The maturity period depends on the type of investor one is. For CDs issued by banks the maturity period should not be less than 7 days and not more than one year.For financial institutions the norms are slightly different, in the sense that the CDs should not be issued for a period less than one year and not exceeding three years from the date of issue.CDs that are not held in the electronic form can be freely transferred by just endorsement and delivery. CDs in demat form can be transferred as per the procedure applicable to other demat securities.

CDs can be issued by (i) scheduled commercial banks {excluding Regional Rural Banks and Local Area Banks}; and (ii) select All-India Financial Institutions (FIs) that have been permitted by RBI to raise short-term resources within the umbrella limit fixed by RBI.

3. Aggregate Amount

3.1 Banks have the freedom to issue CDs depending on their funding requirements.

3.2 An FI can issue CD within the overall umbrella limit prescribed in the Master Circular on Resource Raising Norms for FIs, issued by DBOD and updated from time-to-time.

4. Minimum Size of Issue and Denominations

Minimum amount of a CD should be Rs.1 lakh, i.e., the minimum deposit that could be accepted from a single subscriber should not be less than Rs.1 lakh, and in multiples of Rs. 1 lakh thereafter.

5. Investors

CDs can be issued to individuals, corporations, companies (including banks and PDs), trusts, funds, associations, etc. Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) may also subscribe to CDs, but only on non-repatriable basis, which should be clearly stated on the Certificate. Such CDs cannot be endorsed to another NRI in the secondary market.

6. Maturity

6.1 The maturity period of CDs issued by banks should not be less than 7 days and not more than one year, from the date of issue.

6.2 The FIs can issue CDs for a period not less than 1 year and not exceeding 3 years from the date of issue.

7. Discount / Coupon Rate

CDs may be issued at a discount on face value. Banks / FIs are also allowed to issue CDs on floating rate basis provided the methodology of compiling the floating rate is objective, transparent and market-based. The issuing bank / FI is free to determine the discount / coupon rate. The interest rate on floating rate CDs would have to be reset periodically in accordance with a pre-determined formula that indicates the spread over a transparent benchmark. The investor should be clearly informed of the same.

8. Reserve Requirements

Banks have to maintain appropriate reserve requirements, i.e., cash reserve ratio (CRR) and statutory liquidity ratio (SLR), on the issue price of the CDs.

9. Transferability

CDs in physical form are freely transferable by endorsement and delivery. CDs in demat form can be transferred as per the procedure applicable to other demat securities. There is no lock-in period for the CDs.

10. Trades in CDs

All OTC trades in CDs shall be reported within 15 minutes of the trade on the FIMMDA reporting platform.

11. Settlement

All OTC trades in CDs shall necessarily be cleared and settled under DVP I mechanism through the authorised clearing houses {National Securities Clearing Corporation Limited (NSCCL), Indian Clearing Corporation Limited (ICCL) and MCX Stock Exchange Clearing Corporation Limited (CCL)} of the stock exchanges.

12. Loans / Buy-backs

Banks / FIs cannot grant loans against CDs. Furthermore, they cannot buy-back their own CDs before maturity. However, the RBI may relax these restrictions for temporary periods through a separate notification.

3. Format of CDs

Banks / FIs should issue CDs only in dematerialised form. However, according to the Depositories Act, 1996, investors have the option to seek certificate in physical form. Accordingly, if an investor insists on physical certificate, the bank / FI may inform the Chief General Manager, Financial Markets Department, Reserve Bank of India, Central Office, Fort, Mumbai - 400 001 about such instances separately. Further, issuance of CDs will attract stamp duty. A format (Annex I) is enclosed for adoption by banks / FIs. There will be no grace period for repayment of CDs. If the maturity date happens to be a holiday, the issuing bank/FI should make payment on the immediate preceding working day. Banks / FIs, therefore, should fix the period of deposit in such a manner that the maturity date does not coincide with a holiday to avoid loss of discount / interest rate.

14. Security Aspect

Since CDs in physical form are freely transferable by endorsement and delivery, it will be necessary for banks/FIs to see that the certificates are printed on good quality security paper and necessary precautions are taken to guard against tampering with the document. They should be signed by two or more authorised signatories.

15. Payment of Certificate

15.1 Since CDs are transferable, the physical certificates may be presented for payment by the last holder. The question of liability on account of any defect in the chain of endorsements may arise. It is, therefore, desirable that banks take necessary precautions and make payment only by a crossed cheque. Those who deal in these CDs may also be suitably cautioned.

15.2 The holders of dematted CDs will approach their respective depository participants (DPs) and give transfer / delivery instructions to transfer the security represented by the specific International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) to the 'CD Redemption Account' maintained by the issuer. The holders should also communicate to the issuer by a letter / fax enclosing the copy of the delivery instruction they had given to their respective DP and intimate the place at which the payment is requested to facilitate prompt payment. Upon receipt of the demat credit of CDs in the "CD Redemption Account", the issuer, on maturity date, would arrange to repay to holders / transferors by way of Banker's cheque / high value cheque, etc.

16. Issue of Duplicate Certificates

16.1 In case of loss of physical certificates, duplicate certificates can be issued after compliance with the following:

Notice is required to be given in at least one local newspaper;

Lapse of a reasonable period (say 15 days) from the date of the notice in the newspaper; and

Execution of an indemnity bond by the investor to the satisfaction of the issuer of CDs.

16.2 The duplicate certificate should be issued only in physical form. No fresh stamping is required as a duplicate certificate is issued against the original lost CD. The duplicate CD should clearly state that the CD is a Duplicate one stating the original value date, due date, and the date of issue (as "Duplicate issued on ________").

17. Accounting

Banks / FIs may account the issue price under the Head "CDs issued" and show it under deposits. Accounting entries towards discount will be made as in the case of "Cash Certificates". Banks / FIs should maintain a register of CDs issued with complete particulars.

18. Standardised Market Practices and Documentation

Fixed Income Money Market and Derivatives Association of India (FIMMDA) may prescribe, in consultation with the RBI, for operational flexibility and smooth functioning of the CD market, any standardised procedure and documentation that are to be followed by the participants, in consonance with the international best practices. Banks / FIs may refer to the detailed guidelines issued by FIMMDA in this regard on June 20, 2002 and as amended from time to time (http://fimmda.org).

19. Reporting

19.1 Banks should include the amount of CDs in the fortnightly return under Section 42 of the RBI Act, 1934 and also separately indicate the amount so included by way of a footnote in the return.

19.2 Further, banks / FIs should report the data on issuance of CDs on the web-based module under the Online Returns Filing System (ORFS) within 10 days from the end of the fortnight to which it pertains.

State Bank Hikes Rates on Bulk, Senior Citizen Deposits by 50-140 bps
Rise sharpest for the 46-day to 210-day bucket at 140 bps
The Economic Times31 Jan 2018

Mumbai: National banking bellwether State Bank of India raised interest rates on deposits for the first time in five years as it prepares to raise the lending game after the government strengthened it with capital investment and the trauma of bad loans eased.

SBI follows private sector lender Axis Bank which raised deposit rates marginally last month in the first indication of rates hardening in the system as economic activity accelerates.

Rates for customers with deposits of more than ₹ 1 crore and senior citizens would go up between 50 and 140 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. The rates rise the sharpest for the 46 days to 210 days bucket by 140 basis points to 6.25% from 4.85%.Many banks are now expected to follow the leader as liquidity conditions are also tur ning adverse and a surge in demand for loans, while deposit growth rate remains tepid due to stiff competition from mutual funds and insurance companies.

“The need for higher deposit mobilisation and trend of increasing deposit rates are already visible in the bulk deposit segment, with the surge in volume of certificate of deposits outstanding as well as increase in minimum CD rates during last quarter,’’ said Karthik Srinivasan, group head - financial sector rating, at rating company ICRA.

The volume of bank certificate of deposits, which they use to borrow short-term funds, rose to ₹ 1.52 lakh crore in January, from ₹ 82,412 crore in September and the rates climbed to 6.23% from 6.12%.

SBI said it would offer 6.25% on bulk deposits for one year, up 100 basis points, with immediate effect; 5.25% for deposits between seven days and 46 days, up 50 basis points, and 6.25% for all deposits between 46 days and 2 years, and 6% for de- posits between two years and 10 years.

The urgency to raise rates comes since banks in general are selling off their excess government bond holdings to lend as deposit rates are not matching up to demand. The incremental credit till January 5 was at ₹ 2.02 lakh crore, far outpacing the additional deposits of ₹ 1.27 lakh crore. Between September 29, 2017 andJanuary5,2018,theincrementalcredit of ₹ 1.85 lakh crore was significantly higher than the accretion of deposits of ₹ 0.30 lakh crore. This unevenness in the demand for loans and accretion of deposits led to banks selling off their bond portfolio.

The credit deposit ratio has increased to 74.6% as on January 5, 2018, from the lows of 68.5% in December 2016 and 73% each at end of fiscal 2017.

Promissory notes are debt instruments that allow companies and individuals to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or a company willing to carry the note under the agreed-upon terms. In effect, anyone becomes a lender when he issues a promissory note.Promissory notes are unconditional and saleable instrument mainly used for business transaction
The specimen of promissory note describes various essentials present in a promissory note like the principal amount, interest rate, maturity date, date and place of issuance, and issuer's signature.
Likewise, Certificate of Deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. A CD is typically issued electronically and may automatically renew upon the maturity of the original CD. When the CD matures, the entire amount of principal,as well as interest earned, is available for withdrawal. Money can also be withdrawn from CD prior to the due date but this action incurs penalty.

The only contention with the format of certificate of deposit is that in every format the date at which the amount is given and the date at which amount is to be paid is clearly mentioned- which suggests that when a person borrowing certificate of deposit wants money urgently or pre-maturely, he will not be able to get it and he becomes bound or tied in monetary sense upto the maturity peroid.

1.promissory note is a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party to pay another party a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date. A promissory note typically contains all the terms pertaining to the indebtedness, such as the principal amount, interest rate, maturity date, date and place of issuance, and issuer's signature.
2.Specimen Certificates are actual certificates that have never been issued. They were usually kept by the printers in their permanent archives as their only example of a particular certificate. Sometimes you will see a hand stamp on the certificate that says "Do not remove from file".

Specimens were also used to show prospective clients different types of certificate designs that were available. Specimen certificates are usually much scarcer than issued certificates. In fact, many times they are the only way to get a certificate for a particular company because the issued certificates were redeemed and destroyed. In a few instances, Specimen certificates were made for a company but were never used because a different design was chosen by the company.

These certificates are normally stamped "Specimen" or they have small holes spelling the word specimen. Most of the time they don't have a serial number, or they have a serial number of 00000. This is an exciting sector of the hobby that has grown in popularity over the past several years.
3.Certificate of Deposit (CD) refers to a money market instrument, which is negotiable and equivalent to a promissory note. It is either issued in demat form or in the form of a usance promissory note. This instruments is issue in lieu of the funds deposited at a bank for a specified time period.
4.Negotiable Instrument of Deposit is an interest-bearing certificate with a minimum tenure of 1 month at a specified rate of returns with the principal and interest payable upon maturity.

Simple definition of CD - A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. A CD is typically issued electronically and may automatically renew upon the maturity of the original CD. When the CD matures, the entire amount of principal,as well as interest earned, is available for withdrawal.

There is something more about CDs-
As we have studied in class about bull and bear market there is related term in CDs also:

1. Bull CD- This is especially for investors who wants to ensure safety and it also allows them the exposure to stock market. This is safe because there is a stipulated interest rate that is to be compulsorily paid irrespective of the market value.

2. Bear CD- Again here comes two familier terms i.e. 'speculation and hedging'. An investor may want the safety of a CD but with the market exposure of a bear CD. This CD is bearish because the investor is betting that the market will fall during the life of the CD. 

There are some advantage as well as disadvantage of CDs:
ADVANTAGES
1. Low risk
2. High interest rate ( comparatively)
3. Fixed rate and terms
4. Straightforward investment strategy
5. Availability

DISADVANTAGES
1. Low liquidity
2. Low interest rate (comparatively)
3. Lower earning potential

Certificate of deposits were introduced in India in 1989. The purpose of the scheme was to enable commercial banks to raise funds from the market through the CD's. They are freely transferable but only after the lock period of 45 days after the date of issue. Cd's are unsecured, negotiable instruments issued at the discount of the face value, issued by commercial banks and developmental financial banks. CD's are marketable receipts of funds deposited in a bank for a fuxed period of time at a specified rate of interest. There are some advantages also attached to it like ine can earn more as compared to depositing money in savings account and also know the returns from before.

A promissory note, now and then alluded to as a note payable, is a lawful instrument (all the more especially, a monetary instrument and an obligation instrument), in which one gathering (the creator or guarantor) guarantees in writing to pay a determinate total of cash to the next (the payee), either at a settled or definable future time or on request of the payee, under particular terms. In the event that the promissory note is unqualified and promptly saleable, it is known as a debatable instrument.

The term note payable is regularly utilized as a part of bookkeeping (as recognized from creditor liabilities) or ordinarily as only a "note", it is globally characterized by the Convention giving a uniform law to bills of trade and promissory notes, yet local varieties exist. A banknote is much of the time alluded to as a promissory note, as it is made by a bank and payable to conveyor on request. Home loan notes are another unmistakable illustration.

A declaration of store (CD) is a period store, a money related item generally sold in the United States and somewhere else by banks, thrift establishments, and credit associations.

A few highlights of CDs are:

A bigger primary should/may get a higher loan cost.

A more extended term for the most part gains a higher loan cost, aside from on account of a reversed yield bend (e.g., going before a retreat).

Littler organizations tend to offer higher loan costs than bigger ones.

Individual CD accounts for the most part get higher loan costs than business CD accounts.

Banks and credit associations that are not guaranteed by the FDIC or NCUA for the most part offer higher loan fees.

A promissory note is simply a "promise to pay." It contains a maker (the payor) and a lender (the payee). An unsecured promissory note is not attached to anything, the loan is made based on the maker's ability to repay. Like a handshake but a bit more formal. A secured promissory note may also be made based on the maker's ability to repay, but it is secured by a thing of value such as a car or a house. Most promissory notes attached to property are secured by either a trust deed, also known as a deed of trust, a mortgage or a land contract, and those instruments are recorded in the public records. Promissory notes are generally unrecorded. Is an instrument of value. If the payee loses the original prom note, you might have to get insurance. It's a big hassle and expensive.
Most promissory notes involve the following elements:
1. The Payor of the Promissory Note
2. The Payee of the Promissory Note
3. The Date of the Promissory Note
4. The Amount of the Promissory Note
5. The Interest Rate of the Promissory Note
6. The Date the First Payment is Due and Subsequent Payments
7. The Date the Promissory Note ends
8. Terms of Prepayment Penalties of the Promissory Note



A certificate of deposit or what is popularly known as CDs is nothing but money market instruments that are issued by banks and select Financial institutions in lieu of the money that is deposited.
In India CDs cannot be issued by everyone. They are specifically issued by:
a) Commercial Banks in India
b) Financial institutions like IFCI
Unlike bank deposits that are issued in very nominal amounts, a certificate of deposit should have a minimum amount of Rs 1 lakh. This is the minimum amount and that too by single issuer. It has to be in multiples of Rs 1 lakh thereafter.
These instruments can be invested by companies, individuals, trusts, funds, banks and associations, etc. Interestingly, RBI norms allow Non-Resident Indians or NRIs to also invest in CDs. However these NRIs cannot repatriate the maturity amount so invested in the certificates of deposits. Interestingly, these CDs also cannot be endorsed to another NRI.
The maturity period depends on the type of investor one is. For CDs issued by banks the maturity period should not be less than 7 days and not more than one year.
For financial institutions the norms are slightly different, in the sense that the CDs should not be issued for a period less than one year and not exceeding three years from the date of issue.
CDs that are not held in the electronic form can be freely transferred by just endorsement and delivery. CDs in demat form can be transferred as per the procedure applicable to other demat securities.
It's also important to note that loans cannot be granted against certificate of deposits. The CDs may be presented for payment by the last holder.

A certificate of deposit is a promissory note issued by a bank. It is a time deposit that restricts holders from withdrawing funds on demand. A CD is typically issued electronically and may automatically renew upon the maturity of the original CD. When the CD matures, the entire amount of principal,as well as interest earned, is available for withdrawal.
CDs operate under the premise that an individual forfeits liquidity for a higher return. Under typical market conditions, long-term CDs have higher interest rates when compared to short-term CDs. There is more uncertainty and risk associated with holding the investment for a long period of time. In addition, because an individual is forgoing the opportunity to utilize the funds for a specific period of time, he is compensated by earning more interest.

A promissory note is a written, signed, unconditional promise to pay a certain amount of money on demand at a specified time. A written promise to pay money that is often used as a means to borrow funds or take out a loan.

The one who promises to pay the sum is the maker, and the one to whom the payment is promised or made is the payee or holder. A promissory note is a negotiable instrument as it contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain sum to the order to a specifically named person or to the bearer i.e. to anyone presenting the note. A promissory note can be either payable on demand or at a specific time. For Example, certificate of deposits.

Certificate of deposit is a short term money market financial instrument which is issued for not less than 7 days and not more than one year from the date of issue.
It is issued in dematerialized form or as a usance promissory note against funds deposited at a bank or other eligible financial institution for a specific time period.

There is a provision of bank guarantee known as a letter of undertaking (LOU) under which a bank can allow its customer to raise money from another Indian bank's foreign branch in the form of a short term credit. The LOU serves the purpose of a bank guarantee.However, to be able to raise the LOU, the customer is supposed to pay margin money to the bank issuing the LOU and accordingly, he is granted a credit limit. But in Nirav Modi's case, neither was there a credit limit, nor did he ever give any margin money.
Nirav Modi, via his three firms, Diamond R Us, Solar Exports and Stellar Diamonds, managed to pay to its suppliers of rough stones on a regular basis. The payment was made through the loans by banks including Axis Bank, UCO Bank (Rs 2,636 crore) and Allahabad Bank (around Rs 2,000 crore). The loans were raised by Nirav Modi's firms on showing the letters of undertakings issued by the PNB.
Incidentally, there was no official record of such letters of undertaking in the PNB records as the bank discovered early this year before reporting the matter to the CBI.The violation of banking rules as mentioned in the point 8 above was too glaring a blunder to ignore. Hence, Punjab National Bank filed a criminal complaint with the CBI on January 29 accusing Nirav Modi and others of defrauding the bank and causing it a loss of Rs 280 crore ($43.8 million). The complaint was filed against three companies and four people, including Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi, managing director of Gitanjali Gems.The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), meanwhile, said on Friday it has undertaken a supervisory assessment of control systems at Punjab National Bank and will take "appropriate supervisory action"
The complete havoc shows that there are regulatory mechanism which needs to be revised . As these scams are just making the country more susceptible to the termites who will ultimately rot the economy and will destroy the country's finance and banking system .

We have in total 5 pictures
A promisory note.
Its a negotiable intrument other than bill of exchange and cheque.It is governed by Section 4 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
A promissory note is a promise to pay from one party to another, a definite sum of money,at a specified future date.Promissory notes are debt instruments that allow companies and individuals to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or a company willing to carry the note under the agreed-upon terms. In effect, anyone becomes a lender when he issues a promissory note.Promissory notes are unconditional and saleable instrument mainly used for business transaction. Then there is a specien from Hachijuni Bank Its a specimen for CD. A certificate of deposit is nothing but money market instruments that are issued by banks and select Financial institutions in lieu of the money that is deposited.A CD is a promissory note issued by a bank. This specimen is of certificate of Deposit from the Hachijuni Bank, LTD. printed in 1989. A japenese bank which has its brances at many places. In India CDs cannot be issued by everyone. They are specifically issued by: a) Commercial Banks in India b) Financial institutions like IFCI.
Then there is a negotiable CD. A negotiable certificate of deposit (NCD) is a CD with a minimum face value of $100,000, and they are guaranteed by the bank and can usually be sold in a highly liquid secondary market, but they cannot be cashed in before maturity. Due to their large denominations, NCDs are bought most often by large institutional investors, and these institutions often use these as a way to invest in a low-risk, low-interest security.
A yankee CD would be one example of an NCD.
Then the one is the specimen of promissory notes of nigeria Fidelity Bank Plc. And then the last specimen is the promisory notes used in India.
All these specipem are significant in knowing the different kind of CDs available and what all credentials are needed to issue a CD. Thus the blog and the other comments on it by our fellow friends were helpful and added up to the our knowledge of CDs and promisory notes.

Just like companies, banks also require short term money for various expansion plans. They go to money market and raise funds with an obligation to pay fixed amount of interest on maturity along with principal.

Its similar to commerical papers except when companies issue, it is called commercial papers and when banks issue, it is called certificate of deposit.It refers to a money market instrument. RBI plays a key role of regulator and controller of money market.It is not a publicly traded security.
A negotiable certificate of deposit, or NCD, is a large certificate of deposit that is typically purchased by institutional investors.

Often called a Jumbo CD, an NCD is frequently a suitable investment for an institution or company that has a large amount of money it will not need to use for several weeks or months. Prior to the debut of NCDs, banks could not compete for such investments because they could not offer a rate that compared to those from other money market instruments.

The min amount of CD is 1 Lakh and its multiples for more. Its maturity period is from 7 days to 1 year for commercial banks
Return = . Issue Value - Face Value
There is no lock in period for CD and banks cannot issue loans against CDs

Quoting from Invesopedia CD interest rates closely track inflation.[9] For example, in one situation interest rates may be 15% and inflation may be 15%, and in another situation interest rates may be 2% and inflation may be 2%. Of course, these factors cancel out, so the real interest rate is the same in both cases.

In this situation, it is a misinterpretation that the interest is an increase in value. However, to keep the same value, the rate of withdrawal must be the same as the real rate of return, in this case, zero. People may also think that the higher-rate situation is "better", when the real rate of return is actually the same.

Also, the above does not include taxes.[10] When taxes are considered, the higher-rate situation above is worse, with a lower (more negative) real return, although the before-tax real rates of return are identical. The after-inflation, after-tax return is what's important.

Therefore above we have understood the concept of CD and critically analyzed the same.

A promissory note is a financial instrument that contains a written promise by one party (the note's issuer or maker) to pay another party (the note's payee) a definite sum of money, either on demand or at a specified future date. A promissory note typically contains all the terms pertaining to the indebtedness, such as the principal amount, interest rate, maturity date, date and place of issuance, and issuer's signature.
Although financial institutions may issue them (see below), promissory notes are debt instruments that allow companies and individuals to get financing from a source other than a bank. This source can be an individual or a company willing to carry the note (and provide the financing) under the agreed-upon terms. In effect, anyone becomes a lender when he issues a promissory note.

Certificate of Deposit (CD) refers to a money market instrument, which is negotiable and equivalent to a promissory note. It is either issued in demat form or in the form of a usance promissory note. This instruments is issue in lieu of the funds deposited at a bank for a specified time period.
A commercial bank can issue Certificate of Deposit as per its own requirements. A financial institution can issue Certificate of Deposit within a limit prescribed by RBI. A thumb rule for FI is that CD together with other instruments, viz. term money, term deposits, commercial papers and inter-corporate deposits should not exceed 100 per cent of its net-owned funds, as per the latest audited balance sheet.
Certificate of Deposit can be issued to individuals, corporations, companies, trusts, funds, associations etc. The No resident Indians are also eligible for CDs provided they don’t repatriate the funds.
Often called a Jumbo CD, an NCD is frequently a suitable investment for an institution or company that has a large amount of money it will not need to use for several weeks or months. Prior to the debut of NCDs, banks could not compete for such investments because they could not offer a rate that compared to those from other money market instruments.

A certificate of deposit or what is popularly known as CDs is nothing but money market instruments that are issued by banks and select Financial institutions in lieu of the money that is deposited.
Certificate of Deposit were introduced in June 1989. Only schedule commercial banks excluding Regional Rural banks and Local Area Banks were allowed to issue them initially. Financial instruments were permitted to issue certificate of deposit within the umbrella limit fixed by the Reserve Bank in 1992.
Certificate of deposit are time deposit of specific maturity similar to fixed deposits (FDs). The biggest difference between the two is that CDs being in bearer form, are transferable and tradable while FDs are not.
They can be issued to individuals, corporations, companies, trusts, funds, associates, and others.
NRIs can subscribe to the Deposits on a Non-repatriable Basis.
Minimum amount of a CD should be Rs 1 lakh and in the multiples of Rs 1 lakh thereafter.
The maturity of CDs issued by banks should be not less than 7 days and not more than one year. FIs can issue CDs for a period not less than 1 year and not exceeding 3 years from the date of issue.
CDs are issued at a discount to face value. Banks and FIs can issue CDs on floating rate basis provided the methodology of computing the floating rate is objective, transparent and market-based.
