4. [1.1]History
Share of the Bank of Bengal, issued 13 May 1876
Seal of Imperial Bank of India
The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century, when the Bank
of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of
Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of
Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July
1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies and were the
result of royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency
till 1861 when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right was taken over by the Government of
India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the re-organised banking
entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint
stock company but without Government participation.
5. Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of India,
which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India. On
1 July 1955, the imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In 2008,
the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to remove
any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This made
SBI subsidiaries of eight that had belonged to princely states prior to their nationalization and
operatonal takeover between September 1959 and October 1960, which made eight state
banks associates of SBI. This acquisition was in tune with the first Five Year Plan, which
prioritised the development of rural India. The government integrated these banks into the
State Bank of India system to expand its rural outreach. In 1963 SBI merged State Bank of
Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of Bikaner (est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911), which
SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year SBI acquired National
Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five years later, in 1975, SBI acquired
Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been established in 1916 in Gwalior State, under the
patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. The bank had been the Dukan Pichadi, a small
moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The new bank's first manager was Jall N. Broacha, a
Parsi. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI was
the acquirer as its affiliate, the State Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive network in
Kerala.
The new logo of the SBI was introduced on 1 October 1971 and was designed by Shekhar
Kammat at National Institute of Design. Though it may seem that the logo might have been
greatly inspired from the Kankaria Lake, Ahmedabad. in Gujarat, Mr. Kamat had mentioned
that it was mainly the shape of the cash counters at that time that inspired him and not the
lake in later interviews. .[8]
6. SBI logo was thought to have been inspired by Kankaria Lake, Ahmedabad.
There has been a proposal to merge all the associate banks into SBI to create a "mega bank"
and streamline the group's operations.[9]
The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of
Saurashtra merged with SBI, reducing the number of associate state banks from seven to six.
On 19 June 2009, the SBI board approved the absorption of State Bank of Indore. SBI holds
98.3% in State Bank of Indore. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its takeover by the
government hold the balance of 1.7%.)[10]
The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing network of
branches. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets will approach ₹10 trillion. The
total assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore were ₹9,981,190 million as of March 2009.
The process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April 2010, and the SBI
Indore branches started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August 2010.[11]
On 7 October 2014, Arundhati Bhattacharya became the first woman to be appointed
Chairman of the bank.[12] Mrs. Bhattacharya received an extension of two years of service to
merge into SBI the five remaining associated banks.

Controversies[edit]
Inhumane debt recovery methods[edit]
A few years after its rise to prominence in the banking sector, ICICI bank faced
allegations on the recovery methods it used against loan payment defaulters. A number
of cases were filed against the bank and its employees for using "brutal measures" to
recover the money. Most of the allegations were that the bank was using goons to
recover the credit card payments and that these "recovery agents" exhibited
inappropriate and in some cases, inhuman behavior. Incidents were reported wherein
the defaulters were put to "public shame" by the recovery agents.
The bank also faced allegations of inappropriate behavior in recovering its loans. These
allegations started initially when the "recovery agents" and bank employees started
threatening the defaulters. In some cases, notes written by the bank's employees asking
the defaulters to "sell everything in the house including family members", were found.
Such charges faced by the bank rose to a peak when suicide cases were reported
wherein the suicide notes spoke of the Bank's recovery methods as the cause of the
suicide. This led to a lot of legal battles and the bank paying huge compensations.[91][92]
Money laundering allegations[edit]
ICICI Bank was one of the leading Indian banks accused of blatant money
laundering through violation of RBI guidelines in the famous CobraPost[93]
sting operation
which shook up Indian banking industry during April–May 2013.[94]
On 14 March 2013 the online magazine Cobrapost released video footage
from Operation Red Spider showing high-ranking officials and some employees of ICICI
Bank agreeing to convert black money into white, an act in violation of Money
Laundering Control Act. The Government of India and Reserve Bank of India ordered an
inquiry following the exposé. On 15 March 2013, ICICI Bank suspended 18 employees,
pending inquiry.[95][96][97]
On 11 April 2013 Deputy Governor of RBI, H R Khan reportedly
told that the central bank is initiating action against ICICI Bank in connexion with
allegations of money laundering.[98][99]
38. Credit rating[edit]
The credit ratings agency Moody has lowered the ratings for ICICI Bank to Baa
