A bank account is a financial account maintained
by a financial institution for a customer. A bank
account can be a deposit account, a credit
card account, or any other type of account offered
by a financial institution, and represents the funds
that a customer has entrusted to the financial
institution and from which the customer can make
withdrawals. Alternatively, accounts may be loan
accounts in which case the customer owes money
to the financial institution.
The financial transactions which have occurred
within a given period of time on a bank account are
reported to the customer on a bank statement and
the balance of the accounts at any point in time is

Amount structure:
Bank accounts may have a positive,
or credit balance, where the financial institution
owes money to the customer; or a negative,
or debitbalance, where the customer owes the
financial institution money.[1]
Broadly, accounts opened with the purpose of
holding credit balances are referred to as deposit
accounts; whilst accounts opened with the purpose
of holding debit balances are referred to as loan
accounts. Some accounts can switch between
credit and debit balances.
Some accounts are categorized by the function
rather than nature of the balance they hold, such
as savings account, which routinely are in credit.

Personal budget:
A personal budget is a finance plan that allocates
future
personal income towards expenses, savings and de
bt repayment. Past spending and personal debt are
considered when creating a personal budget. There
are several methods and tools available for
creating, using and adjusting a personal budget.

Purpose
A budget should have a purpose or defined goal
that is achieved within a certain time period.
Knowing the source and amount of income and the
amounts allocated to expense events are as
important as when those cash flow events occur.
Budgeting for irregular income
Special precautions need to be taken for families
operating on an irregular income. Households with
an irregular income should keep two common
major pitfalls in mind when planning their finances:
spending more than their average income, and
running out of money even when income is on
average.

Like driving a car or playing an instrument, the
skill of managing money must be learned
and its never too late to start! Doing so usually
pays immediate benefits. People might not earn
more money if they budget well, but they will be
able to use the money they do have wisely.
How Much Should You Save?
There is no magic number that tells you what you
should be saving each month. It depends on your
income level, your debt load, your life stage, if you
are employed, unemployed or retired as well as
your financial goals.

Share (finance) :
In financial markets, a share is a unit of account for
various investments. It often means the stock of a
corporation, but is also used for collective
investments such as mutual funds, limited
partnerships, and real estate investment trusts.[1]
Corporations issue shares which are offered for
sale to raise share capital. The owner of shares in
the corporation is a shareholder (or stockholder) of
the corporation.[2] A share is an indivisible unit of
capital, expressing the ownership relationship
between the company and the shareholder. The
denominated value of a share is its face value, and
the total of the face value of issued shares
represent the capital of a company,[3] which may
not reflect the market value of those shares.
The income received from the ownership of shares
is a dividend. The process of purchasing and selling

Tax treatment
Tax treatment of dividends varies between tax
jurisdictions. For instance, in India, dividends
are tax free in the hands of the shareholder, but
the company paying the dividend has to pay
dividend distribution tax at 12.5%. There is also the
concept of a deemed dividend, which is not tax
free. Further, Indian tax laws include provisions to
stop dividend stripping.[5][citation needed]
Share certificates
Historically, investors were given share
certificates as evidence of their ownership of
shares. In modern times, certificates are not always
given and ownership may be recorded
electronically by a system such as CREST, a
securities depository.
While individuals for whom the stock market is
literally their life, such as with brokers and
investors (both major and minor, the latter often
