A. Is there any difference between:
- Industry and Company?
- Management and Administration
- Finance and Accounting
C. Which was the most significant economic event/thing occurred in last 10/25 years?
During the Pre Independence period over 600 banks had been registered in the
country, but only a few managed to survive.
Following the path of Bank of Hindustan, various other banks were established in
India. They were:
The General Bank of India (1786-1791) Oudh Commercial Bank (1881-1958)
Bank of Bengal (1809) Bank of Bombay (1840)
Bank of Madras (1843)
Evolution of Indian Banking System
Pre-independence phase : (1770 to 1947)
During the British rule in India, The East India Company had established three banks: -
- Bank of Bengal,
- Bank of Bombay and
- Bank of Madras
These banks were called as Presidential Banks.
These three banks were later merged into one single bank in 1921, which was called
the “Imperial Bank of India.”
The Imperial Bank of India was later nationalized in 1955 and was named The State
Bank of India, which is currently the largest Public sector Bank.
Evolution of Indian Banking System
Pre-independence phase : (1770 to 1947)
If we talk of the reasons as to why many major banks failed to survive during the pre-
independence period, the following conclusions can be drawn:
Account holders had become fraud-prone
Lack of machines and technology
Human errors & time-consuming
Fewer facilities
Lack of proper management skills
With an aim to solve this problem, the then Government decided to nationalize the
Banks. These banks were nationalized under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
Whereas, the Reserve Bank of India was nationalized in 1949.
Evolution of Indian Banking System
Nationalization phase : (1969 to 1991)
14 banks were nationalized between the time duration of 1969 to 1991. These were
the banks whose national deposits were more than 50 crores.
There were various reasons for Government to nationalize the banks. Given below are
few of it:
Increase in funds and thereby improving the economic condition of the country
Increase in efficiency
Boost the rural and agricultural sector of the country
Open up a major employment opportunity for the people
Use profit gained by Banks for the betterment of the people
Evolution of Indian Banking System
Nationalization Phase : (1969 to 1991)
Given below is the list of these 14 Banks nationalized in 1969:
1. Allahabad Bank 2. Bank of India

These banks included:
1. Andhra Bank
2. Corporation Bank
3. New Bank of India
4. Oriental Bank of Comm.

Evolution of Indian Banking System
Banking Sector Reform Phase : (1991 to till date)
To provide stability and profitability to Nationalized Public sector Banks, Government
set up a committee to manage the various reforms in the Indian banking industry.
The biggest development was the introduction of Private sector banks in India. RBI
gave license to 10 Private sector banks to establish themselves in the country. These
banks included:
1. Global Trust Bank 2. ICICI Bank
3. HDFC Bank 4. Axis Bank
5. Bank of Punjab 6. IndusInd Bank
7. Centurion Bank 8. IDBI Bank
9. Times Bank 10. Development Credit Bank
Evolution of Indian Banking System
Banking Sector Reform Phase : (1991 to till date)
The other measures taken include:
Setting up of branches of the various Foreign Banks in India
No more nationalization of Banks could be done
RBI and Government would treat both public and private sector banks equally
Any Foreign Bank could start joint ventures with Indian Banks
Payments banks introduced with development in field of banking & technology
Small Finance Banks were allowed to set their branches across India
A major part of Indian banking moved online with internet banking & apps
Thus, the history of banking in India shows that with time and the needs of people,
major developments have been brought about in the banking sector with an aim to
prosper it.

Inflation
In India, generally, two kinds of indices are used to measure inflation
1. Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and
2. Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Prices of sample goods and services are collected periodically (usually every month) by
the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, and the change, if any, is
noted.
Monetary Policy
Monetary Policy of India:
RBI is entrusted with responsibility of conducting monetary policy with primary
objective of maintaining price stability while keeping in mind objective of growth.
In May 2016, the RBI Act 1934 was amended to provide a statutory basis for the
implementation of the flexible inflation targeting framework.
Inflation Target: Central Government with RBI, determines inflation target in terms of
Consumer Price Index (CPI), once in five years & notifies it in Official Gazette.
Accordingly on August 2016, 4% Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation as target for
period from August 2016 to March 2021 with upper tolerance limit of 6 per cent &
lower tolerance limit of 2 per cent.
On March 31, 2021, the Central Government retained the inflation target and the
tolerance band for the next 5 year period – April 2021 to March 2026.
Objectives of Monetary Policy
Objectives of the Monetary Policy of India:
1. Price stability
2. Controlled expansion of bank credit
3. Promotion of exports and food procurement operations
4. Equitable and desired distribution of credit
5. Reducing the rigidity
Monetary Policy
Increase in bank rate will make loans more expensive for commercial banks; thereby,
pressurizing the banks to increase the rate of lending. The public capacity to take
credit will gradually fall leading to the fall in the volume of credit demanded.
The reverse happens in case of a decrease in the bank rate. The increased lending
capacity of banks as well as increased public demand for credit will automatically lead
to a rise in the volume of credit.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
2. Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
It refers to the minimum amount of funds that a commercial bank has to maintain
with the Reserve Bank of India, in the form of deposits.
For example, suppose the total assets of a bank are worth Rs.200 crores and the
minimum cash reserve ratio is 10%.
Then the amount that the commercial bank has to maintain with RBI is Rs.20 crores. If
this ratio rises to 20%, then the reserve with RBI increases to Rs.40 crores. Thus, less
money will be left with the commercial bank for lending.
This will eventually lead to considerable decrease in the money supply. On the
contrary, a fall in CRR will lead to an increase in the money supply.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
3. Statuary Liquidity Ratio (SLR)
SLR is concerned with maintaining the minimum reserve of assets with RBI, whereas
the cash reserve ratio is concerned with maintaining cash balance (reserve) with RBI.
So, SLR is defined as the minimum percentage of assets to be maintained in the form
of either fixed or liquid assets with RBI.
The flow of credit is reduced by increasing this liquidity ratio and vice-versa.
In the previous example, this can be understood as rise in SLR will restrict the banks to
pump money in the economy, thereby contributing towards decrease in money supply.
The reverse case happens if there is a fall in SLR, as it increases the money supply in
the economy.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
4. Open Market Operations (OMO)
Open Market operations refer to the buying and selling of securities in an open
market, in order to affect the money supply in the economy.
The selling of securities by RBI will wipe out the extra cash balance from the economy,
thereby limiting the money supply.
In the case of buying securities by RBI, additional money is pumped into the economy
stimulating the money supply.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
Quantitative Measures:
The measures that affect the credit qualitatively are
1. Marginal Requirements
The commercial banks’ function to grant loan rests upon the value of security being
mortgaged. So, the banks keep a margin, which is the difference between the market
value of security and the loan value.
When central bank decides to restrict the flow of money, then margin requirement of
loan is raised and vice-versa in the case of expansionary credit policy.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
2. Selective Credit Control (SCC’s):
An instrument of monetary policy that affects the flow of credit to particular sectors
positively and negatively is known as selective credit control.
The positive aspect is concerned with the increased flow of credit to the priority
sectors. However, the negative aspect is concerned with the measures to restrict credit
to a particular sector.
3. Moral Suasions:
A persuasion technique followed by the central bank to pressurize the commercial
banks to abide by the monetary policy is termed as moral suasion.
This involves meetings, seminars, speeches and discussions, which explains the
present economic scenario and thereby persuading the commercial banks to adapt the
changes needed. In other words, this is an unofficial monetary policy that exercises the
power of talk.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
A. Repo Rate:
Repo rate is the rate of interest which is paid by the commercial banks to the Reserve
Bank of India when the RBI lends money to the commercial banks.
Technical meaning of ‘Repo’ is ‘Re-Purchasing Option’ or ‘Repurchase Agreement’.
Under this, both Central Bank & commercial banks sign an agreement whereby
commercial banks consent to repurchase the securities on a specified date at a
predetermined price in the future which is usually higher than the initial price.
Any fluctuation in repo rate has a direct impact on economy of a nation.
When inflation is high, then RBI increases repo rate which automatically reduces
money available with commercial banks as they have to pay a higher interest to
Reserve Bank of India.
This reduces their capacity to lend to their borrowers which automatically reduces the
level of spending, thereby reducing the liquidity of money in the economy.
Instruments of Monetary Policy
B. Reverse Repo Rate:
It is opposite of repo rate. It is interest RBI pays to commercial banks when they store
excess cash reserves. This is used by RBI to control the flow of cash in the economy.
This allows the RBI to 'mop up' excess cash by making it more profitable for
commercial banks to store cash reserves with the central bank.
When the level of inflation is high, which means that the liquidity of money is also high
in that economy, then the Reserve Bank of India increases the reverse repo rate.
This means that the commercial banks get a higher interest rate to deposit their
money in the RBI which automatically reduces the amount available with them to lend
to their customers.
This reduces the level of spending in economy & thus reduces the liquidity of money.
Indian Banking System
The banking industry handles finances in a country including cash and credit. Banks are
the institutional bodies that accept deposits and grant credit to entities and play a
major role in maintaining the economic stature of a country.
The bank takes deposit at a much lower rate from the public called the deposit rate
and lends money at a much higher rate called the lending rate.
In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the apex banking institution that regulates
the monetary policy in the country.

Public Sector banks (PSB):
A Public Sector bank is one in which, the Government of India holds a majority stake. It
is as good as the government running the bank.
Since the public decide on who runs the government, these banks that are
fully/partially owned by the government are called public sector banks.
Public Sector bank that goes public means that issues its share to general public. The
shares of these banks are listed on stock exchanges. It also has a greater share of
government (more than 50%) so that main motto of social welfare other than
maximizing Profit remains.
There are total of 12 PSBs alongside 1 government owned Payments Bank in India.

Private Sector Banks:
Banks where greater parts of stake or equity are held by private shareholders & not by
government are private banks. Banking in India has been dominated by public sector
banks since 1969 when all major banks were nationalized by Indian government.
However since liberalisation in government banking policy in 1990s, old & new private
sector banks have re-emerged.
They have grown faster & bigger over the two decades since liberalisation using latest
technology, providing contemporary innovations & monetary tools & techniques.
Private banks are split into two groups by financial regulators in India, old and new.
Old private sector banks existed prior to nationalisation & kept their independence
because they were either too small or specialist to be included in nationalization.
New private sector banks are those that have gained their banking license since the
liberalisation in the 1990s.

Features of private sector banks:
1. Private ownership and control 2. Profit motive
3. No state participation 4. Independent Management
5. Wide specialized banking services 6. Use modern technology
7. Emphasis on service 8. Maintain net worth of Rs. 300 Crores
9. Exempted from priority sector lending norms for first 3 years
10. Shareholding in excess of 10% by single entity would require prior approval of RBI.
11. Other banks would not be allowed to fresh stake of ≥ 5% of equity capital of Bank.
12. RBI allow higher shareholding for restructuring/consolidation in banking sector.
13. Foreign investment in private bank from all sources (FII, FDI, and NRI) cannot
exceed 74% of paid up capital.
