Irrespective of the amount of liquidity available in a bank it may find it practically impossible to satisfy all the requests it gets for loans since the requests may outstrip available resource. The bank thus has to decimate in the decision to lend. Funds available for loans must be judiciously applied strictly along the bank policy.
Lending procedures which act as checks toward making sure that the objective of policy guidelines are achieved include

· Necessary securities
· Where various document should be send
