The term "demand deposits" shall mean all deposits the payment of which can be legally required in less than thirty days. The term "time deposits" shall mean all deposits the payment of which cannot be legally required in less than thirty days.

The Commission shall by regulation establish from time to time the reserve requirements within the following limits: zero to fifteen per centum on demand deposits, zero to five per centum on time deposits. The reserves required herein for each day shall be computed on the basis of average daily deposits covering a biweekly period, provided that shorter averaging periods may be fixed by regulation of the Commission.
