Introduction of Banking system in INDIA

Banking system of a nation is the shadow of nations economy. A healthy and

profitable banking system is just like the backbone of nations economy. It is

necessary for a nation to achieve growth and remain stable in this global world and

global economy. The Indian banking system, with one of the largest banking

networks in the world, has witnessed a series of reforms over the past few years

like use of E-Banking and the increased participation of private sector banks.

History of INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks

were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and the Bank of

Hindustan, both of which are now defunct 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. Allahabad Bank,

established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in

India.

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 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, wasnationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered theReserve Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks inIndia."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of anexisting bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two

banks could have common directors

Liberalization in INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

In the early 1990s, the government embarked on a policy of liberalization,

licensing a small number of private banks. Some of the private sector banks are

ING VYSYA Bank, Axis Bank (earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC

Bank.

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.

Currently, banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product

range but reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and

foreign banks.

Introduction:

E-Banking

Electronic banking, also known as electronic funds transfer (EFT), is simply the

use of electronic means to transfer funds directly from one account to another,

rather than by cheque or cash. You can use electronic funds transfer to:

Withdraw money from your checking account from an ATM machine with apersonal identification number (PIN), at your convenience, day or night.

Instruct your bank or credit union to automatically pay certain monthly bills from

your account, such as your auto loan or your mortgage payment.

Have the bank or credit union transfer funds each month from your checking

account to your mutual fund account.

Buy groceries, gasoline and other purchases at the point-of-sale, using a check

card rather than cash, credit or a personal check.

Use a smart card with a prepaid amount of money embedded in it for use instead

of cash at a pay phone, expressway road toll, or on college campuses at the

library's photocopy machine or bookstores.

Use your computer and personal finance software to coordinate your total

personal financial management process, integrating data and activities related to

your income, spending, saving, investing, recordkeeping, bill-paying and taxes,

along with basic financial analysis and decision making.

VARIOUS FORMS OF E-BANKING:

A.INTERNET BANKING:Internet Banking lets you handle many banking transactions via your personal

computer. For instance, you may use your computer to view your account balance,

request transfers between accounts, and pay bills electronically.

Internet banking system and method in which a personal computer is connected by

a network service provider directly to a host computer system of a bank such that

customer service requests can be processed automatically without need for

intervention by customer service representatives. The system is capable ofdistinguishing between those customer service requests which are capable of

automated fulfillment and those requests which require handling by a customer

service representative. The system is integrated with the host computer system of

the bank so that the remote banking customer can access other automated services

of the bank. The method of the invention includes the steps of inputting a customer

banking request from among a menu of banking requests at a remote personnel

computer; transmitting the banking requests to a host computer over a network;

receiving the request at the host computer; identifying the type of customer

banking request received; automatic logging of the service request, comparing the

received request to a stored table of request types, each of the request types having

an attribute to indicate whether the request type is capable of being fulfilled by a

customer service representative or by an automated system; and, depending upon

the attribute, directing the request either to a queue for handling by a customer

service representative or to a queue for processing by an automated system.

B.AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES (ATM):An automated teller machine or automatic teller machine (ATM) is an electronic

computerized telecommunications device that allows a financial institution's

customers to directly use a secure method of communication to access their bank

accounts, order or make cash withdrawals and check their account balances


8/21

without the need for a human bank teller. Many ATMs also allow people to deposit

cash or cheques, transfer money between their bank accounts, top up their mobile

phones' pre-paid accounts or even buy postage stamps.

On most modern ATMs, the customer identifies him or herself by inserting aplastic card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smartcard with a chip, which

contains his or her account number. The customer then verifies their identity by

entering a pass code, often referred to as a PIN (Personal Identification Number) of

four or more digits. Upon successful entry of the PIN, the customer may perform a

transaction.

The Indian market today has approximately more than 17,000 ATMs.

C.CREDIT CARDS/ DEBIT CARDS:The Credit Card holder is empowered to spend wherever and whenever he wants

with his Credit Card within the limits fixed by his bank. Credit Card is a post paid

card. Debit Card, on the other hand, is a prepaid card with some stored value.

Every time a person uses this card, the Internet Banking house gets money

transferred to its account from the bank of the buyer. The buyers account is debited

with the exact amount of purchases. An individual has to open an account with the

issuing bank which gives debit card with a Personal Identification Number (PIN).

When he makes a purchase, he enters his PIN on shops PIN pad. When the card is

slurped through the electronic terminal, it dials the acquiring bank system - either

Master Card or VISA that validates the PIN and finds out from the issuing bank

whether to accept or decline the transactions. The customer can never overspend

because the system rejects any transaction which exceeds the balance in his

account.

D.TELE BANKING:Undertaking a host of banking related services including financial transactions

from the convenience of customers chosen place anywhere across the GLOBE and

any time of date and night has now been made possible by introducing on-line


9/21

Telebanking services. By dialing the given Telebanking number through a landline

or a mobile from anywhere, the customer can access his account and by following

the user-friendly menu, entire banking can be done through Interactive Voice

Response (IVR) system. With sufficient numbers of hunting lines made available,

customer call will hardly fail. The system is bi-lingual and has following facilitiesoffered

Balance inquiry and transaction inquiry in all

Inquiry of all term deposit account

Statement of account by Fax, e-mail or ordinary mail.

Cheque book request

Stop payment which is on-line and instantaneous

Transfer of funds with CBS which is automatic and instantaneous

Utility Bill Payments

Renewal of term deposit which is automatic and instantaneous

E.SMART CARD:Banks are adding chips to their current magnetic stripe cards to enhance security

and offer new service, called Smart Cards. Smart Cards allow thousands of times

of information storable on magnetic stripe cards. In addition, these cards are highly

secure, more reliable and perform multiple functions. They hold a large amount of

personal information, from medical and health history to personal banking and

personal preferences

F. E-CHEQUE: An e-Cheque is the electronic version or representation of paper cheque. It can now be used in place of paper cheques to do any and all remote

transactions.


10/21

10

An E-cheque work the same way a cheque does, the cheque writer "writes"the e-Cheque using one of many types of electronic devices and "gives" the

e-Cheque to the payee electronically. The payee "deposits" the Electronic

Cheque receives credit, and the payee's bank "clears" the e-Cheque to the

paying bank. The paying bank validates the e-Cheque and then "charges" thecheck writer's account for the check

G.MOBILE BANKING :Mobile banking is a term used for performing balance checks, account

transactions, payments, credit applications and other banking transactions through

a mobile device such as a mobile or Personal Digital Assistant . The earliest mobile

banking services were offered over SMS. With the introduction of the first

primitive smart phones with WAP support enabling the use of the mobile web in

1999, the first European banks started to offer mobile banking on this platform to

their customers.

We can avail the following services through E-Banking:

Bill payment service

credit card and insurance premium bills as each bank has tie-ups with various

utility companies, service providers and insurance companies, across the country.

can be offered at a very low cost."

Through Internet banking, you can check your transactions at any time of the day,

and as many times as you want to. Where in a traditional method, you get quarterly

statements from the bank. If the fund transfer has to be made outstation, where the

bank does not have a branch, the bank would demand outstation charges. Whereas

with the help of online banking, it will be absolutely free for you.

E-BANKING SUPPORT SERVICES

A large number of financial institutions maintains sites on the World Wide Web.

Some websites are strictly informational, while others also offer customers the

ability to perform financial transactions, such as paying bills or transferring funds

between accounts.

WIRELESSE-BANKING

Wireless banking is a delivery channel that can extend the reach and enhance the

convenience of Internet banking products and services. Wireless banking occurs

when customers access a financial institution's network(s) using cellular phones,

pagers, and personal digital assistants (or similar devices) through

services.

13/21

13

consumers to send money to any person or business with an e-mail address.

Under this scenario, a consumer electronically instructs the person-to-person

payment service to transfer funds to another individual. The payment service then

sends an e-mail notifying the individual that the funds are available and informs

him or her of the methods available to access the funds including requesting acheck, transferring the funds to an account at an insured financial institution, or

retransmitting the funds to someone else. Person-to-person payments are typically

funded by credit card charges transfer from the consumers account at a financial

institution. Since neither the payee nor the payer in the transaction has to have an

account with the payment service, such services may be offered by an insured

financial institution, but are frequently offered by other businesses as well.

Internet banking, both as a medium of delivery of banking services and as a

strategic tool for business development.

At present, the total internet users in the country are estimated at 9 lakh.

However, this is expected to grow exponentially to 90 lakh by 2003. Only

about 1 percent of Internet users did banking online in 1998. This is increased

to 16.7 percent in March 2000.- (India Research, May 29, 2000, Kotak Securities)

Cost of banking service through the Internet from a fraction of costs through

conventional methods. Rough estimates assume teller cost at Re.1 per

transaction, ATM transaction cost at 45 paise, phone banking at 35 paise,

debit cards at 20 paise and Internet banking at 10 paise per transaction.

1.Plastic Cards as Media for Payment:-

debited with the exact amount of purchases.

bank to get his card validated for a further specified amount. Such cards

are used for paying small amounts like telephone calls, petrol bills etc.

Literature Review

Internet and the Banking System

The rapid growth of the Web creates a tremendous opportunity for new businesses,

but also requires a new way of viewing the market place for the community

banker. Experts estimates that consumer use of on-line banking services will

increase over 20-fold by the end of the century. Geography and the number of

branches become irrelevant and community banks are able to offer the same level

of service and convenience to customers as the largest banks. In the past, over 60%

of existing bank customers have cited their bank selection to be based on

convenience of location. For the customers of today, convenience of location

includes the availability of 24-hour access via the Internet. (Wilson, 1996)

Seitz and Stickel (1999) considered that financial service companies are using the

Internet as a new distribution channel. The goals are:

complex products may be offered in an equivalent quality with lower costs tomore potential customers

there may be contacts from each place of earth at any time of day and nightSeybold (1998) identifies 8 critical success factors for electronic banking:

Own the customers total experience Streamline business processes that impact the customer Provide a 360-degree view of customer relationship Let customers help themselves Help customers do their job Deliver personalized service

Suggestions

1. Demonstration of E-Banking should be provided to the existing customers topromote E-Banking.

2. Encourage customers that E-banking is totally safe if you take necessaryprecautions like protect your password from others.

3. Provide discounts on shopping through E-Banking.

Conclusion

The basic objective of my research was to analyze the awareness among customers

for internet banking in INDIA. It gives direction to research tools, research types

and techniques. Although the findings reveal that people know about the services

but still many people are unaware and many of them are non users so the bank

should by promotion try to retain the customers. Banks should look forward to

have some tieups with other financial institutions to increase the service base.
