  • 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.

  • Analyzing the Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on Customers And
    Mukt Shabd Journal ISSN NO : 2347-3150 Analyzing the Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on Customers and Employees in Indian Banking Sector Ankit Dhamija Assistant Professor, Amity Business School, Amity University Gurugram, Haryana, India Deepika Dhamija Assistant Professor, Amity College of Commerce, Amity University Gurugram, Haryana, India Dr Ravi Ranjan Assistant Professor, Amity College of Commerce, Amity University Gurugram, Haryana, India ABSTRACT The Indian banking industry has become so volatile that every few months; there is news of one or few smaller banks being merged into a bank with larger presence across the nation or a bigger bank acquiring few smaller banks. This merging and acquisition of banks has become a necessity for Indian Economy to grow since, the non performing banks are increasing the burden on economy in the form of bad debts/loans, inability to generate profits, sell their banking products, inability to attract and retain customers and many more. Also, Mergers and acquisitions have become vital methods within the industry to form money gains enormously and to enhance the economies of scale. Through this, banks are able to get established brand names, new geographies, and complementary product offerings; however an additional opportunity to cross-sell to new accounts acquired is also there. Throughout the merging method, one company survives and therefore the other company loses its company existence. On the opposite hand, the acquisition means takeover. The biggest impact in such cases is on the bank employees and customers. There are a lot of issues that customers and employees have to deal with and there are also some benefits of this situation.This paper assesses the impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on bank employees and customers, their position before and after Mergers & Acquisitions and finding out the reasons behind these Mergers & Acquisitions.
