...Introduction Indian banking system has emerged as a vibrant sector in the Indian economy. Strong regulatory mechanism, inherent strength in the economy, and progressive policy framework which supports, nurtures, and helps in growing the financial institutions. Indian financial services industry is dominated by the banking sector that contributes significantly to the level of economic activity. The banking structure in India is broadly classified into public sector banks, private sector banks and foreign banks. The public sector banks continue to dominate the banking industry, in terms of lending and borrowing, and it has widely spread out branches which help greatly in pooling up of resources as well as in revenue generation for credit creation. The role of banks in accelerating economic development of the country has been increasingly recognized since the nationalization This facilitated the rapid expansion of banking in terms of its geographical reach covering rural India, in turn leading to significant growth in deposits and advances. Eventually, however, the government used banking sector to finance its own deficit by frequently increasing cash reserve ratios (CRR) and statutory liquidity ratio (SLR). Deregulation of the Indian financial system in 1991 followed by various financial sector reforms during the period 1990 through 1998 led to a major restructuring of the Indian banking industry.

...Banking industry has shown tremendous growth in volume and complexity during the last few decades. Despite amplified thrust by the government on increase of branch network across the country since 1969, still the fruits of the banking not reached to the common man which is evident from the below: Ø Half of the residents are out of the banking system and unable to prove their identity on account of poor financial back ground and belong to Below Poverty Line (BPL) segment. Ø 60% of farmers do not have access to credit from Banks. Ø Poor pay usurious interest at 40% to 50% to Money Lenders. Even Micro Finance Institutions charge 20-30% interest. Ø More than 40% of the government’s subsidy and social spending is being siphoned off, mostly by “ghosts” and undeserving recipients. Ø In spite of best efforts, the various welfare/employment generated programs aimed at poor households with huge budget allocations (NREGS, JSY and PDS) are going into unscrupulous hands and leading to widespread leakage of public money. http://www.allbankingsolutions.com/Articles/Articles-NSNR-Financial-Inculsion-Role-of-IT.shtml Financial Inclusion: How India can achieve it? “Inclusive growth” was one of the important objectives of eleventh five year plan in India.

...Banking Power-Pack – June 2015 BANKING - 2015 JUNE June 1 • IRDAI removes cap on business from one insurer for banks. IRDAI has done away with the capping of insurance business from one insurer by a bank in its latest draft. As compared to the previous draft that mandated banks to cap business from one insurer to 50%, IRDAI has removed this cap. This would mean that those insurers without a bank partner or promoter would still have to wait longer to get business from bancassurance. The regulator has said that an insurer can have tie-ups with up to three insurers in any line of business-life, non-life or health. Background Presently, banks are allowed to tie-up as a corporate agent with one life, one non-life and one standalone health insurer. Hence, insurers who entered the market later did not have any bank partner. • FinMin, RBI set up panel on reducing cash transactions. To reduce cash transactions in the economy and boost the usage of cards and point of sales (PoS) terminals, the Union finance ministry and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have set up a committee to look at ways to encourage use of plastic money. The committee has representatives from National Payments Corporation of India, State Bank of India and ICICI Bank. Background RBI data at the end of December 2014 showed 1.05 million PoS machines in the country, whereas there are over 500 mn debit cards and at least 20 mn credit cards. In 2013-14, according to a Boston Consulting Group report, the number of cash...

...nations, like India have immensely benefited from the globalizing economy. Wealth has been pouring into the country as investments (both direct and institutional). Indian companies are acquiring companies all over the world, hence benefitting from expansion. This has directly affected the lives of many citizens in our country. For many, there has been a dramatic increase in the disposable income. The savings, consumption and investment patterns have changed in the past few years. This has meant that there has been an increase in demand for many financial services from different financial firms. The market has responded to this soaring demand with making attractive offers and services for the customers at affordable rates. Since the LPG reforms of 1991, there have been progressive reforms in the financial sector allowing for better and easier facilities and options to the consumer. An increasing financially aware middle class have realized the importance of financial services. Banks have streamlined and rationalized themselves to meet with the changing demands of the people. However, not all the reforms in the financial services sector have still been able to bring in the other half of India’s population who are un-banked. There are many reasons that are obvious for this kind of financial exclusion. Most of the un-banked or financially excluded population of India lives in rural areas; nevertheless, there is also a significant amount of the urban population of India who faces...

Introduction Mobile-Banking is a buzz word in the banking sector throughout the world and Indian banks are not exception to it. The liberalization, globalization and privatization of the Indian economy in 1990s paved a more flexible functioning of the services sector and particularly the banking industry.

...Indian Banking – The engine for sustaining India’s growth agenda 5th ICC Banking Summit Kolkata 18 May 2013 Foreword Over the past couple of years, the Indian banking sector has displayed a high level of resilience in the face of high domestic inflation, rupee depreciation and fiscal uncertainty in the US and Europe. In order to stimulate the economy and support growth of the banking sector, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) adopted several policy measures. © 2013 KPMG, an Indian Registered Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. Asset quality, capital adequacy, financial inclusion and talent management are some of the key issues facing the Indian banking industry, which despite serving the second largest populated country in the world with a total of 87 banks (including 26 public sector banks, 20 private banks and 41 foreign banks), as per the RBI, reaches out to only about half of the country’s households, scripting a nominal global footprint. The rising consumerism from the emerging ‘middle’ India and the higher purchasing power in rural India on account of rising employment provides opportunities for banks to look beyond the traditional customer segments. However, these segments would require flexible operating models which would ensure responsiveness at the last mile and at the same time be viable for the banks. On the...

...Abstract The paper talks about the primary market, FDIs, capital makets, banking sector and infrastructure financing as well. With all these elements in the India Financial market, it happens to be one of the oldest across the globe and is definitely the fastest growing and best among all the financial markets of the emerging economies. The history of Indian capital markets spans back 200 years, around the end of the 18th century. It was at this time that India was under the rule of the East India Company. The capital market of India initially developed around Mumbai; with around 200 to 250 securities brokers participating in active trade during the second half of the 19th century. The journey of Indian financial markets has been of many shades over the last decade. We have seen a lot of progress, but also significant pauses. Many twists and as many turns. Awe inspiring growth punctuated by its gasping lack of inclusiveness. Presumably, these are the teenage pangs of a free economy which is jostling for its rightful place in the Globe. The fastest free market economy is now face to face with the challenges and opportunities to opt for either slow and steady or fast and furious growth, in the next decade. Financial market You are fully aware that business units have to raise short-term as well as long-term funds to meet their working and fixed capital requirements from time to time. This necessitates not only the ready availability of such funds but also a transmission...
