Deposit tickets are the slips depositors are required to make out showing the respective amounts of bills, coin, checks, etc., that are deposited. They should always be made out by the depositor, and never by bank officials, except in unusual cases, such as inability. They are kept by the banks and, if any dispute arises as to how much was deposited, these slips, in the handwriting of the depositor, are of great value. Banks frequently print in the pass books notice of the terms on which deposits are received and the same terms should also be placed on the deposit slips. This statement usually is merely a disclaimer of liability on items deposited that are payable by other banks. This is done to notify the depositor that while the bank has acknowledged its indebtedness to him, it is subject to the qualification that all checks, notes and drafts presented are subject to the bank's ability to collect on them. For instance, A deposits B's check for $500 with the bank. The bank enters A as having made a $500 deposit. But if the bank is unable to collect the check it will not be liable to A for the $500 with back which it has credited him. In order that the bank's position may be clear, such legal notice to depositors should be given of the terms on which deposits are received.

Duplicate Deposit Tickets

Sometimes, especially when the amounts are small and the deposit is expected to be comparatively short-lived, instead of giving the depositor a pass book, the bank may give him a duplicate slip for each deposit ticket he makes out - that is, each deposit will be entered on a slip which is handed to the depositor and serves, instead of the pass book, as the depositor's evidence of the deposit. Likewise, the duplicate deposit ticket is of great convenience when the depositor forgets to bring his pass book. Banks that do not have a special printed duplicate slip may use a rubber stamp on the regular slips to acknowledge deposits.
