उत्तर

There are two reasons:

  1. Not all depositors approach the banks for withdrawal of money at the same time, and also that normally they withdraw a fraction of deposits.
  2. There is a constant flow of new deposits into the banks.

Therefore, to meet the daily demand for withdrawal of cash, it is sufficient for banks to keep only a fraction of deposits as cash reserves.
