INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
History:
Banking in India has its origin as carry as the Vedic period. It is believed that the transition from money lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu jurist, who has devoted a section of his work to deposits and advances and laid down rules relating to the interest. During the mogal period, the indigenous bankers played a very important role in lending money and financing foreign trade and commerce. During the days of East India Company, it was to turn of the agency houses top carry on the banking business. The general bank of India was the first joint stock bank to be established in the year 1786.The others which followed were the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906, while the other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th Century the East India Company established three banks; The Bank of Bengal in 1809, The Bank of Bombay in 1840 and The Bank of Madras in 1843.These three banks also known as presidency banks and were independent units and functioned well. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and The Imperial Bank of India was established on the 27th Jan 1921, with the passing of the SBI Act in 1955, the undertaking of The Imperial Bank of India was taken over by the newly constituted SBI.
The Indian Banking System:
Banking in our country is already witnessing the sea changes as the banking sector seeks new technology and its applications. The best port is that the benefits are beginning to reach the masses. Earlier this domain was the preserve of very few organizations. Foreign banks with heavy investments in technology started giving some “Out of the world” customer services. But, such services were available only to selected few- the very large account holders. Then came the liberalization and with it a multitude of private banks, a large segment of the urban population now requires minimal time and space for its banking needs.
SBI and subsidiaries
This group comprises of the State Bank of India and its seven subsidiaries viz., State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Saurashtra, State Bank of India
State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India. If one measures by the number of branch offices and employees, SBI is the largest bank in the world. Established in 1806as Bank of Bengal it is the oldest commercial bank in the Indian subcontinent. SBI provides various domestic, international and NRI products and services, through its vast network in India and overseas. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a regional banking behemoth. The government nationalized the bank in1955, with the Reserve bank of India taking a 60% ownership stake. In recent years the bank has focused on two priorities, 1), reducing its huge staff through Golden handshakeschemes known as the Voluntary Retirement Scheme, which saw many of its best and brightest defect to the private sector, and 2), computerizing its operations.
Nationalized banks
This group consists of private sector banks that were nationalized. The Government of India nationalized 14 private banks in 1969 and another 6 in the year 1980. In early 1993, there were 28 nationalized banks i.e., SBI and its 7 subsidiaries plus 20 nationalized banks. In 1993, the loss making new bank of India was merged with profit making Punjab National Bank. Hence, now only 27 nationalized banks exist in India.
IMPORTANCE OF BANKING SECTOR IN A GROWING ECONOMY
In the recent times when the service industry is attaining greater importance compared to manufacturing industry, banking has evolved as a prime sector providing financial services to growing needs of the economy.
Banking industry has undergone a paradigm shift from providing ordinary banking services in the past to providing such complicated and crucial services like, merchant banking, housing finance, bill discounting etc. This sector has become more active with the entry of new players like private and foreign banks. It has also evolved as a prime builder of the economy by understanding the needs of the same and encouraging the development by way of giving loans, providing infrastructure facilities and financing activities for the promotion of entrepreneurs and other business establishments.
CURRENT SCENARIO-
Currently (2007), overall, banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets-as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility-without any stated exchange rate-and this has mostly been true.
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. M&As, takeovers, asset sales and much more action (as it is unravelling in China) will happen on this front in India.
