  • Unit 1. Evolution of Banking
    DNYANSAGAR ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, BALEWADI, PUNE – 45 Subject – Banking And Finance - I (115 B) Class: FYB.COM (2019 Pattern) Unit 1. Evolution of Banking Introduction Money in the Economy is like blood in the human body”. The flow of money in the economy determines the characteristics of any economy. Robust money and capital markets are essentials for a developed economy. The short term and long term needs of money of individuals and institutions can be efficiently met by financial intermediaries. Pooling of scanty deposits into a large capital base and lending it to the desirable sectors is the core of banking business. In a developing economy like India, the role of banking sector becomes even more critical. In the initial years of economic development, when other sophisticated financial institutions were not present, banks were the only financial intermediaries which helped in bring about the change. The sense of confidence in the ethical functioning of financial intermediaries, in the minds of common man, was brought about by well-regulated commercial banks. The word ‘bank’ is of Germanic origin though some persons trace its origin to the French word ‘Banqui’ and the Italian word ‘Banca’. It referred to a bench for keeping, lending, and exchanging of money or coins in the market place by money lenders and money changers. According to Banking Regulation Act, 1949 of India, “Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft, and an order or otherwise”. A bank is a financial institution which deals with deposits and advances and other related services.
