  • 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.

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.

    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.
