Cevap

Primary mortgage institutions are non-bank financial institutions legally prohibited from operating demand deposits and issuing cheques.
Primary mortgage institutions are specialized non-bank financial institutions established to mobilize long-term savings for housing construction and property development. Unlike commercial banks, they are legally restricted from operating demand (current) deposit accounts and cannot issue chequebooks or clear cheques through the central clearing system.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the institutional classification of primary mortgage institutions.
Primary mortgage institutions are classified as non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs).
Understanding institutional status clarifies legal boundaries and statutory limitations.
2
Distinguish the deposit-taking powers of commercial banks from non-bank financial institutions.
Commercial banks have the exclusive right to maintain current (demand deposit) accounts and participate in the clearing house system for cheque settlement.
NBFIs like mortgage banks, building societies, and insurance companies mobilize savings and offer specialized long-term loans but cannot create money through demand deposits.
3
Evaluate why the chequing account request was denied while the loan was approved.
The loan aligns with the core function of mortgage banks (long-term property financing), whereas operating chequing accounts exceeds their statutory powers.
NBFIs operate strictly within specialized mandates governed by financial regulatory frameworks.
