Diffrence between Commercial Paper and Certificate of Deposit

Important Banking Question -

Commercial Papers
The Commercial papers (CP) are money market instrument and are just "Unsecured" Promissory" Notes. As these papers are Unsecured and not backed by any collateral security, highest credit rated firms or companies with people's trust are able to sell their CPs at reasonable price. The maturity of the CP is from 7 days to 1 year. Usually the CP is sold at a discount value and redeemed at face value. For example, if Akash buys a CP with face value at ` 100 at the discount value of ` 98, when he redeems the CP on its maturity.

Commercial Deposit (CD)
There is not much of a difference between a Commercial Paper (CP) and Certificate of Deposits (CD) except the CD is issued by the Commercial banks and Finance Institutions. Using the CDs banks are able to mobilize the bulk financial resources.
