Why is only a small percentage to total deposits kept by banks as reserves ?

Answer»

Solution :There are two reasons for keeping a SMALL percentageof their total DEPOSITS as cash reserves by commercial bank. (i) On the basis of their experience that bank know that all the depositors do not withdraw their money at the same time and also they do not withdraw the entire amount of their deposits.
(ii) At the same time there is CONSTANT flow of new deposits in the banks. So, to meet the daily demand of depositors, keeping a small part of deposits as cash reserves by banks is SUFFICIENT.
