  • EVOLUTION of SBI the Origin of the State Bank of India Goes Back to the First Decade of the Nineteenth Century with the Establis
    EVOLUTION OF SBI [Print Page] The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921. Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework. Bank of Bengal H.O. Establishment The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint- stock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical area.

BestCurrentAffairs.com BestCurrentAffairs.com PAGE NO.1 The Indian money market is classified into: the organised sector (comprising private, public and foreign owned commercial banks and cooperative banks, together known as scheduled banks); and the unorganised sector (comprising individual or family owned indigenous bankers or money lenders and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs)). The unorganised sector and microcredit are still preferred over traditional banks in rural and sub- urban areas, especially for non-productive purposes, like ceremonies and short duration loans. Banking in India, in the modern sense, originated in the last decades of the 18th century. Among the first banks were the Bank of Hindostan, which was established in 1770 and liquidated in 1829-32; and the General Bank of India, established in 1786 but failed in 1791. The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, is the State Bank of India (S.B.I). It originated as the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806. In 1809, it was renamed as the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three banks funded by a presidency government; the other two were the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The three banks were merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. For many years the presidency banks had acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors, until the Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.

  • An Introduction to Banking Industry for New Investors
    AN INTRODUCTION TO BANKING INDUSTRY FOR NEW INVESTORS PREPARED BY SMART SYNC ADVISORY SERVICES http://smartsyncservices.com www.smartsyncservices.com ​ Introduction Banks have become a fundamental pillar of modern times. Banks act not only as keepers of our wealth and lenders for various occasions, they have also become facilitators for any and every monetary transaction that we make. They have become embedded so deep into the financial system of modern times that some of them had been classified as “too big to fail” during the 2008 financial crisis and had to be rescued by the US government to prevent irreparable damage to the financial system in the USA and the world. Thus, banks have become such a vital part of society that it is impossible to imagine modern life without them. But they remain an enigma for new and inexperienced investors who are confident on the industry but are clueless as to how to go about assessing them for a potential investment in stock market. Hence, this piece is aimed at addressing this point as to how new investors should go about looking at banks as a potential stock market investment. Brief History of Banking in India Bank of Calcutta or Bank of Bengal which later became State Bank of India In India, modern banking was introduced by the British in 1806 with the formation of the Bank of Calcutta. British merchants went to create many other banking institutions in India like Allahabad Bank in 1865. By the end of the 19th century, all the banks in India were controlled by British ​ interests.

  • Retirement Planning Products Offered by the State Bank of India and Its Affiliates
    © 2021 JETIR January 2021, Volume 8, Issue 1 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Retirement Planning Products Offered by the State Bank of India and Its Affiliates Sharvee Shrotriya, Research Scholar, Department of Commerce and Management, Banasthali Vidyapith, Niwai- 304022, India. ABSTRACT An integral aspect of financial planning is retirement planning. The need for retirement planning is intensified by a rise in overall life expectancy. In addition to providing an extra source of revenue, retirement planning also allows one to cope with medical emergencies, meet life goals, and remain financially independent. The State Bank of India and other commercial banks and financial institutions have brought out many products and schemes to facilitate retirement planning procedures. However, the plans are not organized enough to be accessible to the public. The degree of effectiveness of these plans and their execution are some of the things that raise concern. The retirement planning among women and the ways of delivering services by the bank is yet to be researched. The study is based on secondary data. The research shows that apart from measures taken by the SBI for the betterment of retirement planning, the products launched are not ample. It is essential to ensure that retirement planning is started by youngsters at an early age and the banks lubricate the process with their innovative, accessible, and customer-friendly products. Key Words- Financial Planning, SBI and Retirement Planning. 1. INTRODUCTION Famously known as the SBI, the State Bank of India, with its headquarters in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is the largest commercial bank of India. It is not some public sector banking and financial services company but it is also classified as an Indian Multinational.

  • Banks: Evolution, 1 Types & Functions
    BANKS: EVOLUTION, 1 TYPES & FUNCTIONS BANK: DEFINITION The word bank is derived from Latin word ‘bancus’, French word ‘banque’, Italian word ‘banca’, meaning "table"; German word ‘banc’, meaning bench or counter. Benches were used as makeshift desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by Jewish bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by green tablecloths. The Indian Banking Regulations Act, 1949 defines the term Banking as the accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheque, draft, order or otherwise. According to the Indian Banking Regulations Act, 1949 a Banking Company means any company which transacts the business of banking. Thus, a company which is engaged in the manufacture of goods or carries on any trade and which accepts deposits of money from the public merely for the purpose of financing its business as such manufacturer or trader shall not be deemed to transact the business of banking. The activities specified in the Act as banking activities are lending, borrowing, accepting and discounting of bills, dealing in foreign currency, deposit lockers, transfer of money etc. The Act prohibits a bank from buying and selling goods and also from holding immovable property. EVOLUTION OF BANKING There was no such word as ‘banking’ before 1640, although the practice of safe-keeping and savings flourished in the temple of Babylon as early as 2000 B.C. The first bank called the ‘Bank of Venice’ was established in Venice, Italy in 1157 to finance the monarch in his wars.
