BANKING INDUSTRY IN INDIA
INTRODUCTION TO
BANKING INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest
bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India , a government-owned bank
that traces its origins back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank
in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of
India which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the then
Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions. After
India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given
broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial
banks; the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry had become an important tool to
facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it had
emerged as a large employer, and a debate had ensued about the possibility to
nationalise the banking industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of
India expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All
India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank
Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter,
her move was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and
nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of
july 16, 1969. These were
In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be
known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank
(the first of such new generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated
with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Axis Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank
and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the economy of
India, revitalized the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with
strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely, government
banks, private banks and foreign banks.
The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed
relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign
Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present
cap of 10%,at present it has gone up to 49% with some restrictions.
With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some
time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services,
especially retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be
strong. One may also expect M&As, takeovers, and asset sales.
In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase
its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the
first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector
bank since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in
the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.
In recent years critics have charged that the non-government owned banks are
too aggressive in their loan recovery efforts in connection with housing, vehicle
and personal loans. There are press reports that the banks' loan recovery efforts
have driven defaulting borrowers to suicide. [3] [4] [5][6]
BANKING ACTIVITIES
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for
customers, paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting
cheques deposited to customers' current accounts. Banks also enable customer
payments via other payment methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, and
ATM.
Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is considered
indispensable by most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that
provide payment services such as remittance companies are not normally
considered an adequate substitute for having a bank account.
Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, and
lend most funds households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lenders
provide a significant and in many cases adequate substitute for bank loans, and
money market funds, cash management trusts and other non-bank financial
institutions in many cases provide an adequate substitute to banks for lending
savings to.
DEFINITION
BANK
A bank is defined as a person who carries on the business of banking, which is
specified as:
BANKING BUSINESS
Banking business" means the business of receiving money on current or deposit
account, paying and collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers, the
making of advances to customers, and includes such other business as the
Authority may prescribe for the purposes of this Actollecting cheques for his
customers.
This also means you debit your savings account everytime you deposit money
into it (and the account is normally in deficit) and you credit your credit card
account everytime you spend money from it (and the account is normally in
credit).
However, if you read your bank statement, it will say the opposite- that you
have credited your account when you deposit money, and you debit when you
withdraw it. If you have cash in your account you have a positive or credit
balance and if you are overdrawn it will say you have a negative or a deficit
balance.

INTRODUCTION
TO
RETAIL BANKIN
RETAIL BANKING
Retail banking is activity devised in past few years and now used extensively.
It represents any banking which is not wholesale based. In other words we can
say that Retail Banking is about providing banking services to individuals and
joint individuals as opposed to wholesale banking, which focuses on industry
and institution clients. Retail Banking includes any business that is conducted
through branch network which is mainly focused towards personal sector.
The Pure Retail Banking is conceived to be the provision of mass banking
products and services to private individuals as opposed to wholesale banking
which focuses on corporate (proprietary, partnership firms, private limited and
public sector companies) and institutional (societies, trusts, clubs etc.) clients.
2. Convenience of using credit cards, internet and phone banking anywhere and
any time banking has also flooded customers into banking.
