Need for the study
The pace of development for the Indian banking industry has been tremendous over the past
decade and the future growth of India’s banking sector will remain high. India’s financial
services sector will enjoy generally strong growth during coming years, driven by rising personal
incomes, corporate restructuring, financial sector liberalization and the growth of a more
consumer-oriented, credit-oriented culture. The banks were finding it difficult to compete with
the international banks in terms of the customer service without the use of the information
technology and computers. The use of the modern innovation and computerization of the
banking sector of India has increased many folds after the economic liberalization of 1991 as the
country's banking sector has been exposed to the world's market.

THE BANKING INDUSTRY PROFILE
History of Banking in India:
The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. The journey of
Indian Banking System can be segregated into distinct phases.
 Foundation phase can be considered to cover 1950s and 1960s till the nationalization of
banks in 1969. The focus during this period was to lay the foundation for a sound
banking system in the country. As a result the phase witnessed the development of
necessary legislative framework for facilitating re-organization and consolidation of the
banking system, for meeting the requirement of Indian economy. A major development
was transformation of Imperial Bank of India into State Bank of India in 1955 and
nationalization of 14 major private banks during 1969. Reserve Bank of India came in
1935. Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of
banking in India as the Central Banking Authority.
 Expansion phase had begun in mid-60s but gained momentum after nationalization of
banks and continued till 1984. A determined effort was made to make banking facilities
available to the masses. Branch network of the banks was widened at a very fast pace
covering the rural and semi-urban population, which had no access to banking hitherto.
Most importantly, credit flows were guided towards the priority sectors. However this
weakened the lines of supervision and affected the quality of assets of banks and
pressurized their profitability and brought competitive efficiency of the system at low
ebb.
 Consolidation phaseThe phase started in 1985 when a series of policy initiatives were
taken by RBI which saw marked slowdown in the branch expansion. Attention was paid
to improving house-keeping, customer service, credit management, staff productivity and
profitability of banks. Measures were also taken to reduce the structural constraints that
obstructed the growth of money market.

6. 6 | P a g e
 Reforms phaseThe macro-economic crisis faced by the country in 1991 paved the way
for extensive financial sector reforms which brought deregulation of interest rates, more
competition, technological changes, prudential guidelines on asset classification and
income recognition, capital adequacy, autonomy packages etc. In 1991, under the
chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for
the liberalization of banking practices. The country is flooded with foreign banks and
their ATM stations. Efforts were being put to give a satisfactory service to customers.
Phone banking and net banking was introduced.. Time was given more importance than
money.

7. 7 | P a g e
Organizational Structure
The banking system, largely, comprises of scheduled banks (banks that are listed under the
second schedule of the RBI act, 1934). Unscheduled banks form a very small component
(function in the form of local are bank). Scheduled banks are further classified into commercial
and cooperative banks, with the basic difference in the holding pattern. Cooperative banks are
cooperative credit institutions that are registered under the Cooperative Societies Act and work
according to the cooperative principles of mutual assistance.
Scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) account for a major proportion of the business of the
scheduled banks. As at end-March, 2009, 80 SCBs were operational in India. SCBs in India are
categorized into the five groups based on their ownership and/or their nature of operations. State
Bank of India and its six associates (excluding State Bank of Saurashtra, which has been merged
with the SBI with effect from August 13, 2008) are recognized as a separate category of SCBs,
because of the distinct statutes (SBI Act, 1955 and SBI Subsidiary Banks Act, 1959) that govern
them.
Nationalised banks (10) and SBI and associates (7), together form the public sector banks
group and control around 70% of the total credit and deposits businesses in India. IDBI ltd. has
been included in the Nationalised banks group since December 2004. Private sector banks
include the old private sector banks and the new generation private sector banks- which were
incorporated according to the revised guidelines issued by the RBI regarding the entry of private
sector banks in 1993. As at end-March 2009, there were 15 old and 7 new generation private
sector banks operating in India.
Foreign banks are present in the country either through complete branch/subsidiary route
presence or through their representative offices. At end-June 2009, 32 foreign banks were
operating in India with 293 branches. Besides, 43 foreign banks were also operating in India
through representative offices.
Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) were set up in September 1975 in order to develop the rural
economy by providing banking services in such areas by combining the cooperative specialty of
local orientation and the sound resource base which is the characteristic of commercial banks.
RRBs have a unique structure, in the sense that their equity holding is jointly held by the central
government, the concerned state government and the sponsor bank (in the ratio 50:15:35), which

8. 8 | P a g e
is responsible for assisting the RRB by providing financial, managerial and training aid and also
subscribing to its share capital.
Between 1975 to 1987, 196 RRBs were established. RRBs have grown in geographical coverage,
reaching out to increasing number of rural client. At the end of June 2008, they covered 585 out
of the 622 districts of the country. Despite growing in geographical coverage, the number of
RRBs operational in the country has been declining over the past five years due to rapid
consolidation among them. As a result of state wise amalgamation of RRBs sponsored by the
same sponsor bank, the number of RRBs fell to 86 by end March 2009.
Indian financial industry underwent rapid transformation post liberalization in the early 90’s,
resulting in greater inflow of investments from FII's into the capital market. Despite the foray of
foreign banks in the country, nationalized banks continue to be the biggest lenders in the country,
primarily due to their size and penetration of networks. In fact, Industry estimates indicate that
over 80% of commercial banks in India are in the public sector and of the 50-odd private banks,
less than half are foreign banks.
The Indian banking sector has witnessed consolidation over the past couple of years. As per RBI
data there have around 25 mergers in the banking sector in the last two decades. Some of the key
mergers which have taken place in the last couple of years have been Global Trust Bank with
Oriental Bank of Commerce, Bank of Punjab with Centurion Bank, further Lord Krishna Bank
with Centurion Bank of Punjab and then eventually with HDFC Bank, The Sangli Bank with
ICICI Bank and Bank of Rajasthan with ICICI Bank. This would help banks in meeting capital
adequacy requirements and financing large transactions and investments made by the Indian
corporate sector.
Though the Indian finance and banking industry did suffer significantly during the past 2 years, it
was relatively sheltered from the triggers of the global meltdown, suffering instead due to
monies from FII’s drying up, falling interest rates, rapidly rising inflation and poor investor
confidence.
Technology has played a key role in the Indian banking sector. As per the FY10 RBI release,
around 90% of the public sector branches have been updated with core banking software, while

9. 9 | P a g e
around 97.8% of the public sector banks, ATM branches have been fully computerized. The
trend of transactions too can be seen to have shifted from paper based to electronic based. In
FY10, the share of electronic transactions to total transactions stood at around 89% in value
terms and around 40% in volume terms. Mobile technology is expected to widen the reach of the
banking network on one side along with providing for ease of transactions on the other.
Corroborated with the business correspondent model and UID, the same is expected to making
banking services accessible to very small habitations by utilizing mobile technology where
setting up a branch is unfeasible.
Indian Banking Sector: Brief Introduction
India’s banking sector is currently valued at Rs 81 trillion (US$ 1.31 trillion). It has the potential
to become the fifth largest banking industry in the world by 2020 and the third largest by 2025,
according to an industry report. The face of Indian banking has changed over the years. Banks
are now reaching out to the masses with technology to facilitate greater ease of communication,
and transactions are carried out through the Internet and mobile devices. With the Parliament
passing the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill in 2012, the landscape of the sector will likely
change. The bill allows the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to make final guidelines on issuing new
bank licenses. This could lead to a greater number of banks in the country; the style of operation
could also evolve with the integration of modern technology into the industry.
Modern Banking
IDBI Bank Ltd has started an online Public Provident Fund (PPF) subscription facility for its
customers. The bank had already received approval from the government to operationalise PPF
transactions through the Internet. The facility would help accomplish the government’s initiative
of electronic transactions in banking services, and also provide a strong platform to mobilize
funds through the Small Saving Schemes. PPF account holders of the bank will have the benefit
of accessing their PPF account online, view account details, print statements, and make
subscription to PPF by way of online transfer of funds.
Simple steps such as memorizing personal identification number (PIN), bringing down credit
limits on cards, using virtual cards for internet transactions and deactivating transactional

10. 10 | P a g e
services linked to a mobile number can limit bank frauds, according to experts. Changing the
password regularly can also save an account from fraud attacks.
Online money transfers and money credited directly to an account are the second preferred mode
of inward remittances in India, rising to 22 per cent in fiscal 2013 from 14 per cent in 2009,
according to an RBI report. "While electronic wires/SWIFT continue to be the dominant mode of
transferring remittances by overseas Indians, in the recent period, there has been a significant
increase in the share of remittances transmitted through direct transfer to bank accounts and
through online mode," the report stated.
Key Statistics
The revenue of Indian banks increased four-fold from US$ 11.8 billion to US$ 46.9 billion in the
period 2001–2010. In that phase, the profit after tax rose about nine-fold from US$ 1.4 billion to
US$ 12 billion.
Banking Index with the Sensex(Bankex) that tracks the performance of primary banking sector
stocks grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 20 per cent over the period
2003–2012.
Total number of onsite and offsite ATMs of Indian Banks reached 100042 in July 2012.
Recent Developments
The central banks of Japan and India have agreed to a proposal that expands the maximum
amount of the Bilateral Swap Arrangement (BSA) between the two countries to US $50 billion.
The agreement is for a three-year period (2012–15); the previous size of the BSA was US $15
million. The new agreement will enable the two countries to swap their local currencies against
the US dollar for an amount up to US$50 billion.
Public sector banks will soon offer customers insurance products from different companies as
against products from one company. The finance ministry has asked public sector banks to
become insurance brokers instead of corporate agents. This move was one of the steps stated by
finance minister Mr P Chidambaram in early 2013, as a way to increase insurance penetration.
Citi has promoted MrAnandSelvakesari as the head of consumer banking for the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. MrSelvakesari will continue his present role as Citi’s

11. 11 | P a g e
consumer banking business head in India – a post he has occupied since July 2013 – as well as
look after the consumer banking operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore,
Thailand and Vietnam.
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) has received approval from the RBI to open a second branch in
Bangkok, according to the bank’s chairman and managing director Mr M Narendra. The bank
will likely open the second branch before March 31, 2014. Also, the bank is looking to expand
its presence. "Our focus is on opening more rural branches and taking banking to villages. We
have covered 3,000 villages under the financial inclusion scheme,” said MrNarendra.
In an effort to expand its revenue streams, Bank of India (BOI) plans to enter the merchant
banking space through BOI Shareholding Ltd. BOI is looking to buy Bombay Stock Exchange’s
(BSE) entire shareholding in their joint venture BOI Shareholding Ltd (BOISL). Another reason
for BOI’s inclination to foray into merchant baking is to offer a greater range of financial
services to its customers.
Government Initiatives
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has given the go-ahead to a proposal to
increase foreign holding in Axis Bank to 62 per cent from the current 49 per cent. The move
could lead to overseas investment of nearly Rs 7,250 crore (US$ 1.17 billion) into the country.
The approval is subject to foreign institutional investors’ (FII) holding being capped at 49 per
cent.
To counter the liquidity pressure faced by micro and small enterprises, the RBI will provide
refinance aggregating up to Rs 5,000 crore (US$ 813.16 million) to the Small Industries
Development Bank of India (SIDBI). SIDBI can use the funds for direct and onward lending to
banks. Also, in an effort to encourage more lending to medium enterprises, the RBI will include
incremental credit given to these units by scheduled commercial banks (which do not include
regional rural banks) under the domain of priority sector lending.
HDFC Bank Ltd has started its rural financial literacy initiative in the village of Palakkad in
Kerala, with the support of the RBI. The private bank will conduct financial literacy camps in 39
rural and semi-urban branches across the South Indian state. These camps will allow adults and
school children from 234 Panchayat wards in 26 villages to gain theoretical knowledge on
financial products and services. This initiative endorses the RBI's recent circular which

12. 12 | P a g e
recommends that banks, through their branch networks, should put in more efforts in rural areas
to spread financial literacy.
Road Ahead
India is one of the top 10 economies in the world, where the banking sector has tremendous
potential to grow. The last decade saw customers embracing ATM, internet and mobile banking.
The number of ATMs has doubled over the past few years, with more than 100,000 in the
country at present (70 per cent in urban areas). They are estimated to further double by 2016,
with over 50 per cent expected to be set up in small towns. Also, the scope for mobile and
internet banking is big. At the start of 2013, only 2 per cent of banking payments went through
the electronic system in the country. Today, mobility and customer convenience are viewed as
the primary factors of growth and banks are continuously exploring new technology, with terms
such as mobile solutions and cloud computing being used with greater regularity.
CURRENT PERIOD
All banks which are included in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 are
Scheduled Banks. These banks comprise Scheduled Commercial Banks and Scheduled Co-
operative Banks. Scheduled Commercial Banks in India are categorised into five different groups
according to their ownership and/or nature of operation. These bank groups are:
 State Bank of India and its Associates
 Nationalized Banks
 Private Sector Banks
 Foreign Banks
 Regional Rural Banks.
In the bank group-wise classification, IDBI Bank Ltd. is included in Nationalized Banks.
Scheduled Co-operative Banks consist of Scheduled State Co-operative Banks and Scheduled
Urban Cooperative Banks.
By 2010, banking in India was generally 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

13. 13 | P a g e
banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have
clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in
its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the
government.
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&A’s, 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 connexion with housing, vehicle and personal loans. There are press
reports that the banks' loan recovery efforts have driven defaulting borrowers to suicide.
ADOPTION OF TECHNOLOGY
The IT revolution has had a great impact on the Indian banking system. The use of computers
has led to the introduction of Modern banking in India. The use of computers in the banking
sector in India has increased many fold after the economic liberalization of 1991 as the country's
banking sector has been exposed to the world's market. Indian banks were finding it difficult to
compete with the international banks in terms of customer service, without the use of
information technology.
The RBI set up a number of committees to define and co-ordinate banking technology. These
have included:
 In 1984 was formed the Committee on Mechanization in the Banking Industry (1984) whose
chairman was Dr. C Rangarajan, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India. The major
recommendations of this committee were introducing MICR technology in all the banks in the
metropolises in India. This provided for the use of standardized cheque forms and encoders.

14. 14 | P a g e
 In 1988, the RBI set up the Committee on Computerization in Banks (1988) headed by Dr. C
Rangarajan. It emphasized that settlement operation must be computerized in the clearing
houses of RBI in Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati, Jaipur, Patna andThiruvananthapuram. It further
stated that there should be National Clearing of inter-
city cheques at Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennaiand MICR should be made operational. It also
focused on computerisation of branches and increasing connectivity among branches through
computers. It also suggested modalities for implementing on-line banking. The committee
submitted its reports in 1989 and computerisation began from 1993 with the settlement
between IBA and bank employees' associations.
 In 1994, the Committee on Technology Issues relating to Payment systems, Cheque
Clearing and Securities Settlement in the Banking Industry (1994) was set up under Chairman
W S Saraf. It emphasized Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) system, with the BANKNET
communications network as its carrier. It also said that MICR clearing should be set up in all
branches of all those banks with more than 100 branches.
 In 1995, the Committee for proposing Legislation on Electronic Funds Transfer and other
Electronic Payments (1995) again emphasized EFT system.
Total numbers of ATMs installed in India by various banks as on end June 2012 is 99,218.The
New Private Sector Banks in India are having the largest numbers of ATMs, which is followed
by off-site ATMs belonging to SBI and its subsidiaries and then by Nationalised banks and
Foreign banks. While on site is highest for the Nationalised banks of India.

STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY
 PORTER’S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS:
Prof. Michael Porter’s competitive forces Model applies to each and every company as well as
industry. This model with regards to the Banking Industry is presented below:
Bargaining Power of Buyers
is high as corporate can raise
funds easily due to high
competition.
PORTER’S
5
FORCE
ANALYSIS
Organizing Power of the
Supplier is high. With new
financial instruments they are
asking higher return on
investment.
Threat from Substitutes
high due to competition from
NBFCs & Insurance
companies as they offer a
higher rate of interest than
banks.
Potential Entrantsis high as
Development Financial
Institutions as well as Private
and foreign banks have entered
in a big way.
Rivalry among Existing
Firmshas increased with
liberalization. New products and
improved customer services is the
focus.

17. 17 | P a g e
 Rivalry among existing firms
With the process of liberalization, competition among the existing banks has increased.
Each bank is coming up with new products to attract the customers and tailor made loans are
provided. The quality of services provided by banks has improved drastically.
 Potential Entrants
Previously the Development Financial Institutions mainly provided project finance and
development activities. But they have now entered into retail banking which has resulted into
stiff competition among the existing players
 Threats from Substitutes
Banks face threats from Non-Banking Financial Companies. NBFCs offer a higher rate of
interest.
 Bargaining Power of Buyers
Corporate s can raise their funds through primary market or by issue of GDRs, FCCBs.
As a result they have a higher bargaining power. Even in the case of personal finance, the buyers
have a higher bargaining power. This is mainly because of competition.
 Bargaining power of Suppliers
With the advent of new financial instruments providing a higher rate of returns to the
investors, the investments in deposits is not growing in a phased manner. The suppliers demand a
higher return for the investments.
 Overall Analysis
The key issue is that how can banks leverage their strengths to have a better future. Since
the availability of funds is more and deployment of funds is less, banks should evolve new
products and services to the customers. There should be rational thinking in sanctioning loans,
which will bring down the NPAs. As there is expected revival in the Indian economy banks have
a major role to play. Funding corporate at a low cost of capital is a major requisite.

18. 18 | P a g e
 SWOT ANALYSIS:
The banking sector is often taken as a proxy for the economy as a whole. The
performance of bank should therefore, reflect “Trends in the Indian Economy”. Due to the
reforms in the financial sector, banking industry has changed drastically with the opportunities to
the work with, new accounting standards new entrants and information technology. The
deregulation of the interest rate, participation of banks in project financing has changed in the
environment of banks.
The performance of banking industry is done through SWOT Analysis. It mainly helps to
know the Strengths and Weakness of the industry and to improve will be known through
converting the opportunities into strengths. It also helps for the competitive environment among
the banks.
 STRENGTHS
 GreatersecuritiesofFunds
Compared to other investment options banks since its inception has been a better avenue
in terms of securities. Due to satisfactory implementation of RBI’s prudential norms banks have
won public confidence over several years.
 Banking network
After nationalization, banks have expanded their branches in the country, which has
helped banks build large networks in the rural and urban areas. Private Banks allowed operating
but they mainly concentrate in metropolis.
 Large Customer Base
This is mainly attributed to the large network of the banking system. Depositors in rural
areas prefer banks because of the failure of the NBFCs.
 Low Cost of Capital
Corporate prefers borrowing money from banks because of low cost of capital. Middle
income people who want money for personal financing can look to banks as they offer at very
low rates of interests. Consumer credit forms the major source of financing by banks.

19. 19 | P a g e
 WEAKNESSES
 Basel Committee
The banks need to comply with the norms of Basel committee but before that it is
challenge for banks to implement the Basel committee standard, which are of international
standard.
 Powerful Unions
Nationalization of Banks had a positive outcome in helping the Indian Economy as a
whole. But this has also proved detrimental in the form of strong unions, which have a major
influence in decision making. They are against automation.
 Priority Sector Lending
To uplift the society, priority sector lending was brought in during nationalization. This is
good for the economy but banks have failed to manage the asset quality and their intensions were
more towards fulfilling government norms. As a result lending was done for non-productive
purposes.
 High Non-Performing Assets
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) have become a matter of concern in the banking
industry. This is because of change in the Accounting Standards (Prudential Norms). Net NPAs
increased to large extent of the total advances, which has to be reduced to meet the international
standards.
 OPPORTUNITIES
 Universal Banking
Banks have moved along the value chain to provide their customers more products and
services. For example: - SBI is into SBI home finance, SBI Capital Markets, SBI Bonds etc.
 Differential Interest Rates
As RBI control over bank reduces, they will have greater flexibility to fix their own
interest rates which depends on the profitability of the banks.

20. 20 | P a g e
 High Household Savings
Household savings have been increasing drastically. Investment in financial assets has
also increased. Banks should use this opportunity for raising funds.
 Overseas Markets
Banks should tap the overseas market, as the cost of capital is very low.
 Internet Banking
The advances in information technology have made banking easier. Business transactions
can effectively carry out through internet banking.
 THREATS
 NBFCs, Capital Markets and Mutual funds
There is a huge investment of household savings. The investments in NBFCs deposits,
Capital Market Instruments and Mutual Funds are increasing. Normally these instruments offer
better returns to investors.
 Change in the Government Policy
The change in the government policy has proved to be a threat to the banking sector.
 Inflation
The interest rates go down with a fall in inflation. Thus, the investors will shift his
investments to other profitable sectors.
 Recession
Due to the recession in the business cycle the economy functions poorly and this has
proved to be a threat to the banking sector. The market oriented economy and globalization has
resulted into competition for market share. The spread in the banking sector is very narrow. To
meet the competition the banks have to grow at a faster rate and reduce the overheads. They can
introduce new products and develop the existing services.

21. 21 | P a g e
 PEST ANALYSIS
 POLITICAL/ LEGAL ENVIROMENT
Government and RBI policies affect the banking sector. Sometimes looking into the
political advantage of a particular party, the Government declares some measures to their
benefits like waiver of short-term agricultural loans, to attract the farmer’s votes. By doing so the
profits of the bank get affected. Various banks in the cooperative sector are open and run by the
politicians. They exploit these banks for their benefits. Sometimes the government appoints
various chairmen of the banks.
Various policies are framed by the RBI looking at the present situation of the country for
better control over the banks
 ECONOMICAL ENVIROMENT
Banking is as old as authentic history and the modern commercial banking are traceable
to ancient times. In India, banking has existed in one form or the other from time to time. The
present era in banking may be taken to have commenced with establishment of bank of Bengal in
1809 under the government charter and with government participation in share capital.
Allahabad bank was started in the year 1865 and Punjab national bank in 1895, and thus, others
followed
Every year RBI declares its 6 monthly policy and accordingly the various measures and
rates are implemented which has an impact on the banking sector. Also the Union budget affects
the banking sector to boost the economy by giving certain concessions or facilities. If in the
Budget savings are encouraged, then more deposits will be attracted towards the banks and in
turn they can lend more money to the agricultural sector and industrial sector, therefore, booming
the economy. If the FDI limits are relaxed, then more FDI are brought in India through banking
channels.

 SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT
Before nationalization of the banks, their control was in the hands of the private parties
and only big business houses and the effluent sections of the society were getting benefits of
banking in India. In 1969 government nationalized 14 banks. To adopt the social development in
the banking sector it was necessary for speedy economic progress, consistent with social justice,
in democratic political system, which is free from domination of law, and in which opportunities
are open to all. Accordingly, keeping in mind both the national and social objectives, bankers
were given direction to help economically weaker section of the society and also provide need-
based finance to all the sectors of the economy with flexible and liberal attitude. Now the banks
provide various types of loans to farmers, working women, professionals, and traders. They also
provide education loan to the students and housing loans, consumer loans, etc.
Banks having big clients or big companies have to provide services like personalized
banking to their clients because these customers do not believe in running about and waiting in
queues for getting their work done. The bankers also have to provide these customers with
special provisions and at times with benefits like food and parties. But the banks do not mind
incurring these costs because of the kind of business these clients bring for the bank.
Banks have changed the culture of human life in India and have made life much easier for
the people.
 TECHNOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Technology plays a very important role in bank’s internal control mechanisms as well as
services offered by them. It has in fact given new dimensions to the banks as well as services that
they cater to and the banks are enthusiastically adopting new technological innovations for
devising new products and services.
The latest developments in terms of technology in computer and telecommunication have
encouraged the bankers to change the concept of branch banking to anywhere banking. The use
of ATM and Internet banking has allowed ‘anytime, anywhere banking’ facilities. Automatic
voice recorders now answer simple queries, currency accounting machines makes the job easier

23. 23 | P a g e
and self-service counters are now encouraged. Credit card facility has encouraged an era of
cashless society. Today MasterCard and Visa card are the two most popular cards used world
over. The banks have now started issuing smartcards or debit cards to be used for making
payments. These are also called as electronic purse. Some of the banks have also started home
banking through telecommunication facilities and computer technology by using terminals
installed at customers home and they can make the balance inquiry, get the statement of
accounts, give instructions for fund transfers, etc. Through ECS we can receive the dividends and
interest directly to our account avoiding the delay or chance of loosing the post.
Today banks are also using SMS and Internet as major tool of promotions and giving
great utility to its customers. For example SMS functions through simple text messages sent
from your mobile. The messages are then recognized by the bank to provide you with the
required information.
All these technological changes have forced the bankers to adopt customer-based
approach instead of product-based approach.
CHALLENGES TO BANKING IN INDIA
 The issue of money laundering is very important in retail banking. This compels all the
banks to consider seriously all the documents which they accept while approving the
loans.
 The issue of outsourcing has become very important in recent past because various core
activities such as hardware and software maintenance, entire ATM set up and operation
(including cash, refilling) etc., are being outsourced by Indian banks.
 Banks are expected to take utmost care to retain the ongoing trust of the public.
 Customer service should be at the end all in retail banking. Someone has rightly said, “It
takes months to find a good customer but only seconds to lose one.” Thus, strategy of
Knowing Your Customer (KYC) is important. So the banks are required to adopt
innovative strategies to meet customer’s needs and requirements in terms of
services/products etc.

24. 24 | P a g e
 The dependency on technology has brought IT departments’ additional responsibilities
and challenges in managing, maintaining and optimizing the performance of retail
banking networks. It is equally important that banks should maintain security to the
advance level to keep the faith of the customer.
 The efficiency of operations would provide the competitive edge for the success in retail
banking in coming years.
 The customer retention is of paramount important for the profitability if retail banking
business, so banks need to retain their customer in order to increase the market share.
 One of the crucial impediments for the growth of this sector is the acute shortage of
manpower talent of this specific nature, a modern banking professional, for a modern
banking sector.
If all these challenges are faced by the banks with utmost care and deliberation, the retail
banking is expected to play a very important role in coming years, as in case of other nations.

IMPACT OF MODERN BANKING ON TRADITIONAL BANKING
Modern banking transactions are much cheaper than branch or even phone transactions. This
could turn yesterday’s competitive advantage - a large branch network - into a comparative
disadvantage, allowing e-banks to undercut bricks-and-mortar banks. This is commonly known
as the “beached dinosaur” theory.
Modern banks are easy to set up, so lots of new entrants will arrive. „Old-world‟ systems,
cultures and structures will not encumber these new entrants. Instead, they will be adaptable and
responsive. E-banking gives consumers much more choice. Consumers will be less inclined to
remain loyal. Portal providers are likely to attract the most significant share of banking profits.
Indeed banks could become glorified marriage brokers. They would simply bring two parties
together e.g. buyer and seller, payer and payee. The products will be provided by monolines,
experts in their field. Traditional banks may simply be left with payment and settlement business
even this could be cast into doubt. Traditional banks will find it difficult to evolve. Not only will
they be unable to make acquisitions for cash as opposed to being able to offer shares, they will
be unable to obtain additional capital from the stock market. This is in contrast to the situation
for Internet firms for whom it seems relatively easy to attract investment. Modern banking is
just banking offered via a new delivery channel. It simply gives consumers another service (just
as ATMs did).
Experience in Scandinavia (arguably the most advanced e-banking area in the world) appears
to confirm that the future is „clicks and mortar‟ banking. Customers want full service banking
via a number of delivery channels. The future is therefore „Martini Banking‟ (any time, any
place, anywhere, anyhow). The start-up costs of an e-bank are high. Establishing a trusted brand

35. 35 | P a g e
is very costly as it requires significant advertising expenditure in addition to the purchase of
expensive technology (as security and privacy are key to gaining customer approval).
Modern -banks have already found that retail banking only becomes profitable once a large
critical mass is achieved. Consequently many e-banks are limiting themselves to providing a
tailored service to the better off.E-Banking transaction needs some interface to communicate
with banking customer. All the electronic transaction performs through some interfaces. The
electronic devices which perform interact with customers and communicate with other banking
system is called electronic banking delivery channels.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRADITIONAL BANKING AND MODERN
BANKING
Ozsoy and Say full in (2006) found from the Word Net that banking is defined as a
financial institution that accept deposits and channels the money into lending activities.
According to online Oxford dictionary, we found that banking is defined as the business
conducted or services offered by a bank. Banking is organized in form of financial institution
which offers several financial functions which mainly included depositing and safekeeping,
lending financial sources and act as role of payment to each other.
The different traditional banking and modern banking. In the traditional banking, it has perform
the basic function such as depository institutions, maintain deposits, make loans, and control the
checkable deposits portion of the economy’s money. Traditional bank is the original banks which
was the original financial intermediaries in offering checking accounts. It also plays an important
role in the financial markets to manage the circular flow of the fund. However, there are some
limitations on the traditional banking and thus lead to the innovation in modern banking.
Traditional banking has a limited accessibility in which people only can conduct business at their
brick-and-mortar locations. It makes customers inconvenience in doing their business. It also
provides less efficient services to customers because customers can only do their transactions in
the bank. Therefore, customers would need to spend more time to complete the transaction by
heading to the banks.
In the comparison, modern banking has come out variety of services which fulfill the

36. 36 | P a g e
unsatisfactory in traditional banking. Nowadays, deposits have become an important source of
funds for financial institution. Thus, the ways to attract depositing are important for the financial
institution in getting funds. So, many strategies has implied such as adjust saving’s interest rate
or providing different types of financial instruments to collect funds. In addition, with the
technology development, modern banking has brought a great positive impact to the customers.
With the development of Automatic Teller Machine (ATM), Credit and Debit Cards, Phone
Banking and Online Banking, it able to reduce cost, save time for payment and also increase the
competitive advantage in financial service industry.
In conclusion, traditional banking provides the basic functions to public. However, by further
improvement, modern banking has brought much of benefits to public which is unreachable in
traditional banking.
(A) The changing character of the financial service industry and the role of consolidation
The financial services industry is consolidating around the globe. Consolidation of banks or
financial companies may obtain a greater purchasing power as well as reduce the number of
competitors in the market, increase economies of scales by eliminating repetitive assets, reduce
costs and increase revenues. Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) among financial institutions are
occurring at a torrid pace in US, which may also occur at a rapid in the near future Europe and
Asia. (Berger et al, 1999). In this case, the consolidation of financial service industry has
affected by the factors on the fundamental forces of change. The fundamental forces of change
have transformed the structure of financial markets and institution and reflect the intense
competition among the financial firms today. The factors are included deregulation and
reregulation, financial innovation, securitization, globalization and advanced in technology.
Loans have offer high gross yield and classify as a risky assets in a bank when it failed to
pay by the borrower. This may affect the liquidity position in a bank. In order to cope with this
problem, banks have involved in securitization. Securitization is the process that converting
assets into marketable securities.
B) Merger for the financial service industry Asian’s financial crisis started in 1997 when
ASEAN countries opened up their market to attract the foreign investment. However, this flow
cause the asset bubbles burst when their economies were not competitively overtime to sustain

37. 37 | P a g e
the high interest rates to support their fixed exchange rates (Andrew, 2010). United States was
seemed to be the initiator for the Asian’s financial crisis (Andrew, 2010). This financial crisis
had brought the negative effect to United States and the world. In 1998, a slowdown situation
happens in the world economy, which started from South East Asia (Sutthirak and Gonjanar,
2012). Therefore, according to Nanto (1998), stated that The United States Congress is likely to
consider the Asian financial crisis within the three major legislative backgrounds. The first is in
the financing and scope of the activities of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The second
context is in the influence of the crisis on the United Stated economy and financial service
industry. Also, the last context is the efforts for trade and investment liberalization in the world.
(C) The trend of the dollar amount of assets Looking into the pie chart consisting of the assets of financial
services sector covering from year 2007-2011, we can see that there are changes in the amount among the
6 sectors, which are banking, securities, pensions, government related, insurance, and also others. We can
also witness an equal distribution in terms of the changes, with 3 sectors experiencing an increase and
another 3 sectors experiencing a decline. Firstly, we focus on the sectors which experience an increase in
the dollar amount of assets they control. The banking sector, government related sector, and also the
insurance sector have increase the dollar amount of assets. Among them, the banking sector increased the
most dollar amount of assets they control throughout these five years. Having assets totaling to
12362.1bilion in 2007, the amount increased to 14635.3 billion in 2011, recording the highest
increase.The second pie chart consists of the assets if financial services sector from 2004-2008.

CONCLUSION
Modern Banking is a borderless entity permitting anytime, anywhere and anyhow
banking. This facilitates us with all the functions and many advantages as compared to
traditional banking services. During this step of the process, controls that could mitigate or
eliminate the identified risks, as appropriate to the organization’s operations, are provided. The
goal of the recommended controls is to reduce the level of risk to the IT system and its data to an
acceptable level.
Today, banks deployed to technology intensive solutions like enhancing core banking value,
revamping the digital agenda, moving from information to insight, dealing with a changing risk
regime, from cash to electronic modes of payment, grappling with financial inclusion,
empowering employees and accelerating innovation. Banks have changed in their operations and
moved towards universal banking along with the increased usage of technology. Majority of
banks are insisting on cashless and paperless payment modes. Today banking is known as
innovative banking. A wide range of services are being offered by banks using the electronic
media. Banking through internet has emerged as a strategic resource for achieving higher
efficiency, control of operations and reduction of cost by replacing paper based and labour
intensive methods with automated processes thus leading to higher productivity and profitability.
Challenging business environment within the banking system create more innovation in the
fields of product, process and market. Internet banking is highly comfort in our routine life, in
fact this made our life simple and convenient and over all we are able to enjoy quality service
smartly. These technologies created efficiency and time saving methods of conducting business
for people.
 From the survey, it is confirmed that people know about Modern Banking. People do not
using Modern Banking because unknown the procedure. The knowledge regarding how
to do the Modern banking and basic computer operating knowledge is necessary but
some people do not know about Modern Banking. So some people go with transaction of
traditional way. It may be in future it is possible that no transaction will be done through
traditional banking system.

64. 64 | P a g e
 In short, we can say that Modern Banking is relatively a new concept in the global
banking. And compared to Banks Abroad, Indian banks offering Modern services still
have a long way to go. It is passing through into growth phase of its development cycle.
Results of recent developments and experiments in Modern Banking are yet to come, but
