Distinguish between scheduled bank and non-scheduled bank

The different types of banks that are operating in our money market, are divided into two groups- scheduled bank and non-scheduled bank.
1. Scheduled bank: The banks that are enlisted or included in the scheme of the central bank are called scheduled bank. According to Bangladesh bank order-1972 article (1), A scheduled bank means a bank for the time being included in the list of banks maintained by the central bank under sub-clause (a) of clause (2) of article 32. Any bank not included in this list is a non-scheduled bank. For example, as of today, Grameen bank is not a scheduled bank. All the commercial banks in Bangladesh are, however, scheduled banks. Now the total number of scheduled banks is 51.
2. Non-scheduled bank: Non-scheduled banks are those banks which are not included in the schedule of the central bank. As they are not scheduled, they do not get the privileges of clearing system and re-discounting of bill. They are not under direct control of central bank. But they are required to follow rules and regulations framed by the central bank. These banks clear their cheques through any scheduled bank. They do not earn any confidence of the public. So they could not expand their business.
