Introduction
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from their customers and creates
credit.
The banking system in India is significantly different from that of others Asian nations
because of the country’s unique geographic ,social, and economic characteristics. India has a
large population and land size, a diverse culture, and extreme disparities in income ,which are
marked among its regions. There are high levels of illiteracy among a large percentage of its
population but, at the same time, the country has a large reservoir of managerial and
technologically advance talents.
The Indian banking industry has its foundations in the 18 th century, and has had a bumpy
revolutionary growth path since then. The industry in recent times has recognised the importance
of private and foreign players in a competitive scenario and has moved towards greater
liberalisation. Indian banks have mobilised around 80% of funding from deposits. Thus their
ability to win market share profitability is key to stock return.
History of Banking
The history of banking began with the first prototype banks which were the merchants of
the world, who made grain loans to farmers and traders who carried goods between cities. This
was around 2000 BC in Assyria, India and Sumeria. Later, in ancient Greece and during the
Roman Empire, lenders based in temples made loans, while accepting deposits and performing
the change of money. Archaeology from this period in ancient China and India also shows
evidence of money lending.
The development of banking spread from northern Italy throughout the Holy Roman
Empire, and in the 15th and 16th century to northern Europe. This was followed by a number of
important innovations that took place in Amsterdam during the Dutch Republic in the 17th
century, and in London since the 18th century. During the 20th century, developments in
telecommunications and computing caused major changes to banks' operations and let banks
dramatically increase in size and geographic spread. The financial crisis of 2007–2008 caused
many bank failures, including some of the world's largest banks, and provoked much debate
about bank regulation.
