Terminal Questions 1.1. Introduction: Institutional Evolution of the Indian Banking: The indigenous system of banking had existed in India for many centuries, and catered to the credit needs of the economy of that time. The famous Kautilya Arthashastra, which is ascribed to be 7 dating back to the 4th century BC, contains references to creditors and lending. For instance, it says “If anyone became bankrupt, debts owed to the state had priority over other creditors”. Similarly, there is also a reference to “Interest on commodities loaned” (PRAYOG PRATYADANAM) to be accounted as revenue of the state. Thus, it appears that lending activities were not entirely unknown in the medieval India and the concepts such as ‘priority of claims of creditors’ and ‘commodity lending’ were established business practices. During the period of modern history, however, the roots of commercial banking in India can be traced back to the early eighteenth century when the Bank of Calcutta was established in June 1806 –which was renamed as Bank of Bengal in January 1809 – mainly to fund General Wellesley’s wars. This was followed by the establishment of the Bank of Madras in July 1843, as a joint stock company, through the reorganization and amalgamation of four banks viz., Madras Bank, Carnatic Bank, Bank of Madras and the Asiatic Bank. This bank brought about major innovations in banking such as use of joint stock system, conferring of limited liability on shareholders, acceptance of deposits from the general public, etc. The Bank of Bombay, the last bank to be set up under the British Raj pursuant to the Charter of the then British East India Company, was established in 1868, about a decade after the India’s first war of independence. The three Presidency Banks, as these were then known, were amalgamated in January 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which acquired the three-fold role: of a commercial bank, of a banker’s bank and of a banker to the government. It is interesting to note here that merger of banks and consolidation in the banking system in India, is not as recent a phenomenon as is often thought to be, and dates back to at least 1843 – and the process, of course, still continues. With the formation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935, some of the central banking functions of the Imperial Bank were taken over by the RBI and subsequently the State Bank of India, set up in July 1955, assumed the other functions of the Imperial Bank and became the successor to the Imperial Bank of India.1 1 The Special Address delivered by Shri V Leeladhar, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India at the Bankers’ Conference (BANCON) 2007 on November 26, 2007 at Hotel Taj Lands End, Mumbai. 8 1.2.

Indian Banking Industry Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The General Bank of India coming into existence in 1786. This was followed by Bank of Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India being established as "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. A couple of decades later, foreign banks like Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered.

  • Introduction Banking in India
    Introduction Banking in India 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, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India’s Independence became the State Bank of India. Origin of Banking in India Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. (Joint Stock Bank: A company that issues stock and requires shareholders to be held liable for the company’s debt) It was not the first though. That honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which survived until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to the Alliance Bank of Simla. When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton.

  • Restructuring of Indian Public Sector Banks: Genesis and the Challenges
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 4, Issue - 5, May – 2020 Monthly, Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal Scientific Journal Impact Factor: 5.245 Received on : 02/05/2020 Accepted on : 17/05/2020 Publication Date: 31/05/2020 Restructuring of Indian Public Sector Banks: Genesis and the Challenges PARMOD K. SHARMA Ph.D Scholar, Mittal School of Business Lovely Professional University, Phagwara (Punjab) Email - [email protected] Abstract: Banking industry has been facing difficulties worldwide. The problems have been common though scale might be different at different places. The major issues that have confronted them are providing customer delight by way of ‘wow’banking and to keep themselves afloat. There is abundant expectation by the public from the industry to provide state of the art technology at competitive pricing and products which give them their value for money. The regulators want these banks to be adequately capitalised to mitigate the enormous risks they undertake by financing borrowers who are genuine and need bank money for growth of their businesses and the unscrupulous ones who borrow money to divert it to their unfunded projects or in real estate to make a quick buck. The banks also on daily basis face the operational risks(frauds by public and employees, looting of ATMs and robberies etc).There is pressure on them to earn good profits by safe lending and expanding the reach by adding new customers. There is good competition between Public Sector Banks (PS Banks) among themselves and PS Banks and the private sector banks. Many private sector banks in past faced liquidity issues due to management failure and bad lending.
