The concept of effective rate of interest is used when the rate of interest is stated as certain percent per annum, but is compounded at a shorter interval, like semi-annually or quarterly or monthly etc.
for example, Rs. 100 is invested for 2 years at 10% p.a. compunded semi-annually.
Thus, the intrerest comes to Rs. 21.55 rather than Rs.21 if it was compunded annually,
Thus, effective rate of interest becomes 10.25% when interest is compounded semi-annually.
effective rate= (1+r/k) the whole raised to power k minus 1
where, r= stated rate of interest
k is the no. of times interest is compounded in a year.
here, in the above example, effective rate woulod become [1+(0.1 divided by 2)]raised to two -1
that is, 1.05 raised to two is 1.1025, from which when one is subtracted, we get 0.1025, i.e. 10.25%

nominal rate of interest refers to two distinct concepts- one is rate of interest without taking inflation into account and the second one is interest rate as stated, without adjustment for the full effect of compounding. I assume you have taken the second meaning.
When it is said Rs. 100 are invested @ 10% per annum compounded half-yearly, this 10% p.a. is nominal rate of interest.
actually the amount received after a year will be not Rs.110, but Rs. 110.25 as the amount is compounded half-yearly. So, in effect you got an interest of Rs. 10.25. So, the effective rate of interest becomes 10.25%

Hey Subhash Did anyone notice that financial world is a fraud governed by frauds. No text book mentions why effective interest rate is choosen but it just says generally banks accept bribes and fixed deposits etc
