  5. Interviews starting from Monday, a very important question that can be asked to you is regarding the job that you need to handle once you are selected. Lets see what a clerk does.

    Before starting that, first understand two concepts which are widely used in case of day to day baking. One is that of a Checker and the other is Maker. The person who does a particular task is simply termed as Maker and One who checks it is a Maker. The liability of Checker is more, as his role is to check the correctness regarding any transaction. Generally a clerk performs the role of Maker and Officers are Checker. ( Though in case of loans an Officer is a Maker and Branch Manager is the Checker. Clerk does not have any role in case of loan sanction ).

    Another point is that the branch strength is a big problem every where in the country be it a Urban Branch/Semi Urban Branch or a Rural Branch. Mostly you will see branches of 4+2 in Tier II cities which means there are 4 clerks and 2 Officers working with other sub staffs and Branch Manager.

    Now lets start with the job role and responsibilities.

    A clerk is an entry level employee of Bank. Most of the customer dealing is handled by him.

    The person inside a box dealing with cash (Deposit and Withdrawal Counter) is a clerk. So a cashier is basically a clerk. So opening the day with XYZ amount of cash and then closing the day after accepting money as deposits and withdrawals must tally with the closing balance.

    Verification of cheques, making of demand drafts is done by clerks.

    Opening of Deposit Account and explaining the procedure to customer is done by clerk. Pass Book Maintenance ( Updation through printers ), Issue of Cheque Books is done by clerk.

    Back Office work ranging from ledger maintenance, keying data in computer is also a role of Bank Clerk.

    Going out of Office to Clearing House for clearing cheques is done by Clerks.

    Apart from all these things any other work as per the guidance of seniors.
