INTRODUCTION
What is a bank?
A bank is a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those
deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly
through capital markets. A bank links together customers that have capital deficits
and customers with capital surpluses.
Due to their importance in the financial system and influence on
national economies, banks are highly regulated in most countries. Most nations
have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking, under which
banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In
addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally
subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital
standards, known as the Basel Accords.
Banking in its modern sense evolved in the 14th century in the rich cities
of Renaissance Italy but in many ways was a continuation of ideas and concepts
of credit and lending that had its roots in the ancient world. In the history of
banking, a number of banking dynasties notably the Medicis, the Fuggers,
the Welsers, the Berenbergs, and the Rothschilds have played a central role over

History of banking
The history of banking begins with the first prototype banks of merchants of the
ancient world, which made loans to farmers and traders who carried goods between
cities. This began around 2000 BC in Assyria and Babylonia. Later, in ancient and
during the Roman Empire, lenders based in temples made loans and added two
important innovations: they accepted deposits and changed money. Archaeology
from this period in ancient China and India also shows evidence of money
lending activity.
Banking, in the modern sense of the word, can be traced to medieval and
early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north such
as Florence, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking
in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts
of Europe. Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, established
by Giovanni Medici in 1397. The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi
di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy, which has been operating continuously
since 1472.
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 in 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.

Government business.
Other types of lending and transactions.
In addition to providing a safe custodian of money, banks also loan money to
businesses and consumers. A large portion of a bank's business is lending. How do
banks get the money they loan? The money comes from depositors who intend to
save a portion of their wealth. Banks acting as intermediaries use these deposits
as loans to prospective borrowers. The objective of commercial banks like any
other organization is profit maximisation. This profit generally originates from the
interest differential between borrowers and lenders. In the present day, however,
the banking operation has extended much beyond simple lending exercise. So there
are other different channels of profit ensuing from other investment programmes
as well. However, it should be mentioned in this context that the entire deposit held
by a bank cannot be given as loans as the Central Bank retains a portion of this
money in the form of cash-reserve for unforeseen circumstances. Banks create
money in the economy by making loans. The amount of money that banks can lend
is directly affected by the reserve requirement set by the Federal Reserve. The
reserve requirement is currently 3 percent to 10 percent of a bank's total deposits.

is because each bank is specialized in their own field. Each bank has its own
principles and policies. Different rates of interests are also noted among these
banks. All these banks are listed as below:
Savings Banks these banks are suited for employees with a monthly salary. Low
waged people may open an account in the savings bank.
Commercial Banks These banks collects money from people in various sectors
and gives the same as a loan to business men and make profits in interests these
business men pay. Since the loan is large the interest rates are also high.

the growth of industries by providing loans for a very long period of time. This is
vital for the long term growth of the industries.
Land Developments Bank these banks promote growth in the food sector, by
giving loans to farmer at a relatively lower interest rate. The loan is usually given
on the basis of land. If a farmer has lots of agricultural fields then the more will bethe loan provided.

Role of Banks
A proper financial sector is of special importance for the economic growth of
developing and underdeveloped countries. The commercial banking sector which
forms one of the backbones of the financial sector should be well organized and
efficient for the growth dynamics of a growing economy. No underdeveloped
country can progress without first setting up a sound system of commercial
banking. The importance of a sound system of commercial banking for a
developing country may be depicted as follows:
Capital Formation
: The rate of saving is generally low in an underdeveloped economy due to the
existence of deep-rooted poverty among the people. Even the potential savings of
the country cannot be realized due to lack of adequate banking facilities in the
country. To mobilize dormant savings and to make them available to the
entrepreneurs for productive purposes, the development of a sound system
of commercial banking is essential for a developing economy .
Monetization
: An underdeveloped economy is characterized by the existence of a large no
monetized sector, particularly, in the backward and inaccessible areas of the
country . The existence of this non monetized sector is a hindrance in the economic

medium and long term loans for their proper establishment. The commercial banks
should, therefore, change their policies in favor of granting medium and long term
accommodation to business and industry.
Cheap Money Policy
: The commercial banks in an underdeveloped economy should follow cheap
money policy to stimulate economic activity or to meet the threat of business
recession. In fact, cheap money policy is the only policy which can help promote
the economic growth of an underdeveloped country. It is heartening to note that
recently the commercial banks have reduced their lending interest rates
considerably.
Need for a Sound Banking System:

economic development of a backward country

banking sector in the country and the Reserve Bank of India was set up to regulate
the formal banking sector in the country. Ever since they were nationalized in
1969, banks have been playing a major role in the socio-economic life of the
country. They have to act not only as purveyors of credit, but also as harbingers of
social and economic development through a variety of enterprises, many of which
may tiny and yet capable of generating productive energies.

Role of banks in Indian economy
India is not only the worlds largest independent democracy, but also an
emerging economic giant. Without a sound and effective banking system, no
country can have a healthy economy. For the past three decades, Indias banking
system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. It is no longer confined
to only the metropolitans, but has reached even to the remote corners of the
country. This is one of the reasons of In dias growth process.
Agriculture in India has a significant history and it is demographically the
broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic
fabric of India. Finance in agriculture is an important as development of
technologies. A dynamic and growing agricultural sector needs adequate finance
through banks to accelerate overall growth. Most of the credit-related schemes of
the government to uplift the poorer and the under-privileged sections have been
implemented through the banking sector. With the passing of the Reserve Bank of
India Act 1934, there were improvements in agricultural credit. Earlier, the co-
operative banks were the main institutional agencies providing finance to
agriculture. But after nationalization of 14 major commercial banks, it wasmandatory for them to provide finance to agriculture as a priority sector. Thus,
agricultural credit acquired multi-agency dimension.

The government has allocated `10000 crore to the National Bank for
Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) for refinancing Regional Rural
Banks (RRBs) to disburse short term crop loans to small and marginal farmers.
The short-term crop loans scheme offers credit to farmers at 7 per cent interest rate.
Besides, in order to reduce post-harvest losses, farmers are eligible to get post-
harvest loans up to six months at 4 per cent interest rate provided they keep their
produce in warehouses. The rural sector in a country like India can growth only if
cheaper credit is available to the farmers for their short-and medium-term loans. In
addition, the farmers get loans for purchase of electric motors with pump, tractors
and other machinery, digging wells or boring wells, purchase of dairy animals and
for many other allied enterprises.
The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) is the premier institution
in India purveying financial assistance to the industrial sector projects. It provides
direct financial assistance to the industrial concerns in the form of granting loans
and advances, and purchasing or underwriting the issues of stocks, bonds or
debentures. The creation of the Development Assistance Fund is the special of the
IDBI. The Fund is used to provide assistance to those industries which are not able
to obtain funds mainly because of heavy investment involved or low expected rate
of returns. Assistance from the Fund requires the prior approval by the
government. Apart from this, the IDBI even gives guidance to start a business.

In addition to the above traditional roles, banks also perform certain new age
functions which could not be thought of a couple of decades ago. Today, the
banking sector is one of the biggest service sectors in India. Availability of quality
services is vital for the well-being of the economy. The focus of banks has shifted
from customer acquisition to customer retention. With the stepping in of
information technology in the banking sector, the working strategy of the banking
sector has been revolutionary changes. Various customer-oriented products like
internet banking, ATM services, telebanking and electronic payment have lessened
the workload of customers. The facility of internet banking enables a consumer to
access and operate his bank account without actually visiting the bank premises.
The facility of ATMs and credit/debit cards has revolutionized the choices
available with the customers. Banks also serve as alternative gateways for making
payments on account of income-tax and online payment of various bills like the
telephone, electricity and tax. In the modern-day economy where people have not
time to make these payments by standing in queue, the services provided by banks
are commendable.
To conclude, we can say that the modern economies of the world have
developed primarily by making best use of the credit availability in their
systems. India is on the march; far reaching socio-economic changes are taking
place and Indian banks should come forward to play this role in the process. The

role of banks has been important, but it is going to be even more important in the
future.

Role and Importance of Commercial Banks:
The functions of commercial banks explain their importance in the economic
development of a country.Banks help in accelerating the economic growth of a country in the followingways:
1. Accelerating the Rate of Capital F ormation:
Commercial banks encourage the habit of thrift and mobilise the savings of people.These savings are effectively allocated among the ultimate users of funds, i.e.,investors for productive investment. So, savings of people result in capital
formation which forms the basis of economic development.
2. Provision of F inance and Credit:
Commercial banks are a very important source of finance and credit for trade andindustry. The activities of commercial banks are not only confined to domestictrade and commerce, but extend to foreign trade also.
3. Developing Entrepreneur ship:
Banks promote entrepreneurship by underwriting the shares of new and existingcompanies and granting assistance in promoting new ventures or financing
promotional activities. Banks finance sick (loss-making) industries for makingthem viable units.
4. Promoting Balanced Regional Development:
Commercial banks provide credit facilities to rural people by opening branches inthe backward areas. The funds collected in developed regions may be channelised
for investments in the under developed regions of the country. In this way, they bring about more balanced regional development.
5. H elp to Consumers:
Commercial banks advance credit for purchase of durable consumer items likeVehicles, T.V., refrigerator etc., which are out of reach for some consumers due to
-

their limited paying capacity. In this way, banks help in creating demand for suchconsumer goods.
2. Structure of Commercial Banks in India:
The commercial banks can be broadly classified under two heads:
1. Scheduled Banks:
Scheduled Banks refer to those banks which have been included in the SecondSchedule of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
In India, scheduled commercial banks are of three types:
(i) Public Sector Banks :
These banks are owned and controlled by the government. The main objective ofthese banks is to provide service to the society, not to make profits. State Bank ofIndia, Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Canada Bank and Corporation Bankare some examples of public sector banks.
Public sector banks are of two types:
(a) SBI and its subsidiaries;
(b) Other nationalized banks.
(ii) Private Sector Banks:

These banks are owned and controlled by private businessmen. Their mainobjective is to earn profits. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank is some examplesof private sector banks.
(iii) Foreign Banks :
These banks are owned and controlled by foreign promoters. Their number hasgrown rapidly since 1991, when the process of economic liberalization had startedin India. Bank of America, American Express Bank, Standard Chartered Bank areexamples of foreign banks.
2. Non-Scheduled Banks:
Non-Scheduled banks refer to those banks which are not included in the Second
Schedule of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.
Cooperative banks
Larger institutions are often called cooperative banks . Some are tightly integratedfederations of credit unions, though those member credit unions may not subscribe

COMMERCIAL BANKING MANAGEMENT Page 32
to all nine of the strict principles of the World Council of Credit Unions(WOCCU).
Like credit unions, cooperative banks are owned by their customers and follow thecooperative principle of one person, one vote. Unlike credit unions, however,cooperative banks are often regulated under both banking and cooperativelegislation. They provide services such as savings and loans to non-members aswell as to members, and some participate in the wholesale markets for bonds,money and even equities .[2] Many cooperative banks are traded on public stockmarkets, with the result that they are partly owned by non-members. Membercontrol is diluted by these outside stakes, so they may be regarded as semi-cooperative.
Cooperative banking systems are also usually more integrated than credit union
systems. Local branches of cooperative banks select their own boards of directorsand manage their own operations, but most strategic decisions require approvalfrom a central office. Credit unions usually retain strategic decision-making at alocal level, though they share back-office functions, such as access to the global
payments system, by federating.
Some cooperative banks are criticized for diluting their cooperative principles.Principles 2-4 of the " Statement on the Co-operative Identity" can be interpreted torequire that members must control both the governance systems and capital of theircooperatives. A cooperative bank that raises capital on public stock markets createsa second class of shareholders who compete with the members for control. In somecircumstances, the members may lose control. This effectively means that the bankceases to be a cooperative. Accepting deposits from non-members may also lead toa dilution of member control.
