Banking, is the business of providing financial services to consumers and businesses. The
basic services a bank provides are checking accounts, which can be used to make
payments and purchase goods and services; savings accounts and time deposits that can
be used to save money for future use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to
purchase goods and services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing
and foreign currency exchange. Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic
banking services: commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and
credit unions.
A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives, collects, transfers,
pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for its customers. This broader
definition includes many other financial institutions that are not usually thought of as
banks but which nevertheless provide one or more of these broadly defined banking
services. These institutions include finance companies, investment companies, investment
banks, insurance companies, pension funds, security brokers and dealers, mortgage
companies, and real estate investment trusts.
Individuals rely on the financial services sector for chequing, insurance and other
services that are part of daily living; to hold their savings and provide their credit; and for
a range of other services. Businesses rely on the sector for a host of important services.
The nation's efficiency, competitiveness, depth of employment opportunities and quality
of life are enhanced by an effective financial services sector. Indeed, almost by definition,
an effective financial services sector is the hallmark of a modern economy.
Bank is defined in many ways by various authors in the book son economics and
commerce. It is very difficult to define a bank; because a bank performs multifarious
functions may be defined in many ways according to their functions. The evolution of
different types of banks, each specializing in a particular field, gives emphasis on each
and every kind of bank. A general and comprehensive definition to cover all types of
banking institutions would be unscientific and probably impossible. Each type of bank
should have its own definition, explaining its specialized functions. Legislators have
1
understood this difficulty and that is why the bill of exchange Act 1882 (England) defines
A bank includes a body of persons, whether incorporated or not, who carry on the
business of banking
From this definition it is clear to us that any institution, which performs the various
banking functions, may be termed as bank. But in practice it is found that many banking
functions wary from time to time and country to country. It is not possible on the part of a
single bank to perform all the banking functions at a time. So there originated numbers of
specialized banks with the objective of performing one or more functions. As for
example, Central Bank, Commercial bank, Industrial Bank, Agricultural Bank, Co-
operative Bank etc., are seen in the practical field.
Dr. Herbert L. Hart has defined a banker as
A banker is one who in the ordinary course of business honours cheques drawn upon
him by persons for whom he receives money on current account
According to Sir John Paget
No one and nobody corporate and otherwise can be a banker who does not (i) take
deposit accounts (ii) take current accounts (iii) issue and pay cheques drawn upon him(iv)
collect cheques crossed and uncrossed for his customers
Hilton Banking Commission defines bank or banker in the following words:
Every person, firm or company using in the description or its title, bank or banker or
banking and accepting deposits of money subject to withdrawal by cheque, draft or
order
In view of the above definitions, a simple and short definition can be given as
Bank is an institution, which deals in money and credit
According to this precise definition a bank accepts deposits from public and makes
advances and loans to them. In practice bank receives deposits of money in savings and
current accounts at lower rate of interest or profit and gives on credit to needy persons
and businessmen at a higher rate of interest or profit. It also transfers money for the
clients from one city or country to another and also performs various other agency
services for earnings.

Banking in India
Banking in India in the modern sense originated in the last decades of the 18th century.
The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and The General Bank of India,
established 1786 and since defunct.
The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, 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. The three banks merged in 1921 to form
the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State in 1955.
For many years the presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors,
until the Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935.
In 1969 the Indian government nationalized all the major banks that it did not already
own and these have remained under government ownership. They are run under a
structure know as 'profit-making public sector undertaking' (PSU) and are allowed to
compete and operate as commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is made up of four
types of banks, as well as the PSUs and the state banks; they have been joined since the
1990s by new private commercial banks and a number of foreign banks.
Banking in India was generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-
even though reach in rural India and to the poor still remains a challenge. The
government has developed initiatives to address this through the State Bank of India
expanding its branch network and through the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural
Development with things like microfinance.
Indian Banking Industry currently employees 1,175,149 employees and has a total of
109,811 branches in India and 171 branches abroad and manages an aggregate deposit
of 67504.54 billion (US$1.1 trillion or 820 billion) and bank credit of 52604.59
billion (US$880 billion or 640 billion). The net profit of the banks operating in India
was 1027.51 billion (US$17 billion or 12 billion) against a turnover of 9148.59
billion (US$150 billion or 110 billion) for the fiscal year 2015-16.

History of financial services
The term financial services became more prevalent in the United States partly as a result
of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of the late 1990s, which enabled different types of
companies in the US financial services industry to merge. Critics of this act say the term
financial services attempts to make the unison of these operations sound natural, ignoring
the history of problems that have arisen from combining them, such as conflicts of
[citation needed]
interest and monopolization . Others, noting that many of the restrictions
abolished by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act had never existed in other countries or had
been abolished earlier than in the US, say the term financial services is a natural one, in
long term use, which means nothing more than its constituent words
In the USA almost every company now which previously described themselves as a bank,
insurance company, or brokerage house, now describes themselves in some way as a
financial services institution. Allstate Insurance, for example, now provides CDs and
investment brokerage services. Bank of America offers full-featured brokerage products,
while E*TRADE has expanded into offering bank accounts and loans. Companies usually
have two distinct approaches to this new type of business. One approach would be a bank
which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank, keeps the original
brands of the acquired firm, and adds the acquisition to its holding company simply to
diversify its earnings. Outside the U.S., e.g., in Japan, non-financial services companies
are permitted within the holding company. In this scenario, each company still looks
independent, and has its own customers, etc. This is essentially the style of Citigroup and
JP Morgan Chase.
In the other style, a bank would simply create its own brokerage division or insurance
division and attempt to sell those products to its own existing customers, with incentives
for combining all things with one company. This is the style of Washington Mutual and
Wells Fargo.

Working capital products include both fund and non-fund based products. Fund-based
working capital products include cash credit, packing credit, short-term loans payable on
demand, inland/export bills discounting, export and import financing and subscription to

Other Fund-based Products:
MIBOR Linked loans, Commercial papers (CPs), FCNR B loans, Debentures and cash-
flow gap finance are other types of loans available to corporate.
Structured Products
ICICI Banks Structured Products can be broadly classified into Securitization and
Structured Financing.
Securitization
Securitization involves financing of existing or future identifiable cash flows/receivables,
with limited/full recourse to the company, with over-collateral of 1.5 to 3 times and a
liquidity account equal to 3-6 months. The normal tenure would be between 3-7 years and
the amortization would mirror the cash flow profile of the securitized receivables.
Securitization results in better balance sheet management in terms of capital adequacy
ratio and debt equity ratio, shifting of credit risk for non-recourse structures, liquidity
support and better pricing. A brief outline of the various Securitization deals and their
structure, concluded by ICICI Bank are mentioned below:
11
agent to collect the receivables under the contracts and deposit them in a Trust and
Retention (T & R) account. The trustee makes the payments on the due dates to ICICI
Bank from the T & R account.
Export Receivables
The export receivables of the company are purchased by an offshore SPV. The offshore
SPV issues pass through Certificates in the international capital markets to raise funds for
the purchase of the receivables. The payments under the export receivables from the
12
importers (international) are directly credited into the offshore proceeds account of the
company maintained in an international location. The investors receive the payments
directly from the offshore proceeds account of the company. Collateralized Loan
Obligations (CLOs) / Collateralized Bond Obligations (CBOs
A special purpose vehicle (SPV) can be created which purchases the illiquid loans and/or
debentures and issues securities (CLOs/CBOs) to investors. The cash flows from the
underlying assets are used to service the securities issued by the SPV. The structure
leverages on the pooling of large number of low to medium rated assets to raise funds at a
higher rating compared to the underlying assets. This pooling gives benefits of
diversification with respect to industries and creditors and hence the rating of the
securities can be higher than the underlying assets.
Structured Financing
Traditionally Corporate borrowing has been on the basis of strength or weakness of
balance sheet, with the credit quality of the borrower being the single most important
factor. But of late the borrowings are being closely linked to the value of the asset or the
revenue earning capability of the asset - by means of structured finance. Structured
financing involves a customized package from a lender to the borrower.
Dealer financing
Dealers of large corporate can be provided finance which can be either with a limited
recourse (on a first loss basis) to the corporate or based on the creditworthiness of the
dealer and its relationship with the manufacturer. The various structures are: Bill
discounting / Web-based financing with/without recourse, Cash credit / Demand loan
facilities, Financing for auto dealers with incentives for conversion into retail loans.
13
Investment Monetization
A product designed to cater to the requirement of the business groups to streamline the
cross-holdings within themselves. A Trust would be set up which would acquire the intra-
group cross holdings from the various companies in the group at current market prices.
To fund this, the Trust would issue Pass-through Certificates (PTCs) to ICICI Bank. The
take-out would be a put option with the identified holding company of the group where
ICICI bank could sell the PTCs to put-provider at a pre-determined price on a fixed date.
The security could be pledge of additional shares.

LITERATURE REVIEW
O.B. Sayeed (1974) in his Ph.D. research examined correlates of organizational health
productivity and effectiveness in the SBI. The 90 study is related to productivity and
effectiveness. It is focus on the psychological aspect. There is neither a single
comprehensive study on Critical Evaluation of Indian Banking Sector (with reference to
Private Sector and Public Sector Banks) (1998-99 to 2002-03) nor any attempt has been
made to analyse contents of its profitability, productivity and financial efficiency after the
new generated private banks arrived. Hence present study is a humble effort to bridge the
gap in the existing literature.
S.G. Shah (1979) in his paper analysed weakness of the banks and pointed out the
specific areas where action could be taken to improve profitability. He revealed that
rising expense and overheads increase in wasteful work practices, declines in productivity
were major weakness. He suggested these following areas for improving profitability of
bank (i) To evolve measures that could widen the spread between the cost of funds,
services, and administration and the return on them. (ii) To developed supplementary
sources of income. (iii) To find profit centers and cost centers in the bank (iv) To assess
the extent to which these elements of the structure could be influence by policy and
planning or by changing the nature of operations. (v) To recognize the element that
controls or settles the income and cost structure at each such center and for the bank as a
whole.
20
Makrand (1979) studied the performance of public sector banks. He selected six
quantitative indicators for performance index. Which were branch expansion priority
sector lending, deposit mobilization export credit net profit to working funds and wages
and cost of business development? The main recommendations of his study were (i)
counseling and expert opinion to the priority sector lending on diversified activities is
needed. (ii) The lower level 65 staff should also actively be involved in priority sector
lending activities. (iii) Necessary lending power should be vested with the branch
managers.
M.R. Vyas (1991) studied financial performance of regional rural banks in Rajasthan. He
analysed the financial performance with the help of quick ratio, credit deposit ratio, and
profit to proprietors capital ratio and working capital analysis. He concluded that
regional rural banks had a bright future as an effective instrument in the economic growth
and up-liftment of down trodden sections of Indian society particularly in rural area.4
M.N. Mishra (1992) in his paper evaluated the profitability of scheduled commercial
banks taking into account the interest and non - interest income and interest expenditure,
manpower expenses and other expenses. The Author has identified that the growing pre
emption of funds in the form of statutory liquidity ratio, cash reserve ratio, faster increase
of expenses as compared to the income, advances, and total investment than interest
income and few more factors have contributed to the declining profitability of Indian
commercial banks.
21
S.G. Hundekar (1995) studied the productivity aspects of the regional rural banks. He
examines growth and working of regional rural banks. He studied operational efficiency,
profitability and productivity in rural oriented Bijapur gramin bank. He concluded that
Bijapur gramin banks operating profitability has been very poor over the study period
because of its ineffectiveness in controlling the burden.
Berry Wilson (1997) Has studied on Bank Capital and Bank Structure: A Comparative
Analysis of the US, UK and Canada This study investigates a 100-year history of the
asset-risk and capital structure choices of the publiclytraded banks located in the UK,
Canada and US. These three countries were chosen because their diverse regulatory and
banking structures, while sharing common legal and cultural institutions. For example,
the US has historically fostered small banks, and a regulatory system split between
national and 67 state regulators. In contrast, Canada has sought financial-sector stability
through a small number of large nationally-branched banks that have acted cooperatively
22
with bank rescues during periods of crisis, prior to the presence of their central bank.
Finally, the UK established an early tradition of internationally-diversified banking assets
and developed a "life-boat" support system orchestrated by the Bank of England. These
differences in bank structures and regulatory framework form the basis of our analysis.
V.K. Bhatasana (1999) studied the appraisal of financial performance of State Bank of
India (1980 1995) particularly productivity and profitability of State Bank of India
during the study period, he observed adequacy of capital fund, growth in deposits, branch
expansion in rural area and less borrowing from Reserve Bank of India in this study
period of State Bank of India improved the productivity & profitability of State Bank of
India among public sector banks.
Prashanta Athma (2000) Performance of Public Sector Banks A Case Study of State
Bank of Hyderabad made an attempt to evaluate the performance of Public Sector
Commercial Banks with special emphasis on State Bank of Hyderabad. The period of the
study for evaluation of performance is from 1980 to 1993-94, a little more than a decade.
23
In this study, Athma outlined the Growth and Progress of Commercial Banking in India
and. analyzed the trends in deposits, various components of profits of SBH, examined the
trends in Asset structure, evaluated the level of customer satisfaction and compared the
performance of SBH with other PSBs, Associate Banks of SBI and SBI. Statistical
techniques like Ratios, Percentages, Compound Annual rate of growth and averages are
computed for the purpose of meaningful comparison and analysis. The major findings of
this study are that since nationalization, the progress of banking in India has been very
impressive. All three types of Deposits have continuously grown during the study period,
though the rate of growth was highest in fixed deposits. A comparison of SBH
performance in respect of resource mobilization with other banks showed that the average
growth of deposits of SBH is higher than any other bank group. Profits of SBH showed
an increasing trend indicating a more than proportionate increase in spread than in
burden. Finally, majority of the customers have given a very positive opinion about the
various statements relating to counter service offered by SBH.
I M Pandey (2001) Capital Structure and the Firm Characteristics: Evidence from an
Emerging Market. This study examines the determinants of capital structure of
Malaysian companies utilizing data from 1984 to 1999. We classify data into four sub-
periods that correspond to different stages of Malaysian capital market. Debt is
decomposed into three categories: shortterm, long-term and total debt. Both book value
and market value debt ratios are calculated. The results of pooled OLS regressions show
that profitability, size, growth, risk and tangibility variables have significant influence on
all types of debt. These results are normally consistent with the results of fixed effect
estimation with the exception that risk variable loses its significance. Unlike the evidence
from the developed markets, investment opportunity 69 (market-to-book value ratio) has
no significant impact on debt policy in the emerging market of Malaysia. Our results are
generally robust to time periods, but the significance of some variables changes over
time. Profitability has a persistent and consistent negative relationship with all types of
debt ratios in all periods and under all estimation methods. This confirms the capital
structure prediction of the pecking order theory in an emerging capital market.13
24
Ram Mohan TT (2003) Long run performance of public and private sector bank
stocks has made an attempt to compare the three categories of banksPublic, Private and
Foreign-using Physical quantities of inputs and outputs, and comparing the revenue
maximization efficiency of banks during 1992- 71 2000. The findings show that PSBs
performed significantly better than private sector banks but not differently from foreign
banks. The conclusion points to a convergence in performance between public and
private sector banks in the post-reform era, using financial measures of performance.17

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATIONS
Figure 4.1
Analysis &Interpretation: The average time taken to access formal financial services
such as a bank branch, an ATM or a post office branch is not more than half an hour in
DIST. Yamunanagar. The level of connectivity is also high, reflected by the number of
adults using mobile phones. Finally, documentation, a key to access formal financial
services, is not an issue anymore; 98% of the adults have some kind of identity proof. As
a result of this, 93% of the households are formally financially served. While 86% of the
households are served directly by the banks, the rest depend on the so-called business
correspondents, who provide last-mile connectivity with the consumers on behalf of
banks. Around 35% of the households have access to other formal channels such as non-
banking financial companies, including microfinance institutions, and only 2% depend
solely on informal sources such as money lenders.
Neither the age nor the level of education influences the choice of financial products,
but gender does. Around 70% of males are banking with the formal channel in contrast
with 58% of females.

Advantages of Traditional Banking
What people see is what they get. In a traditional bank, as opposed to online banking,
customer physically present check his account for deposit, get cash handed back to them,
place items into or take them out of bank safety deposit boxes.
36
traditional banks ATM, online banking is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
However, people can do their banking from the comfort of their own home
Analysis: Online Banking vs Traditional Banking
In the end, the type of banking people prefer is really just that, personal preference. Some
people just want to continue to interact with the tellers they know at their neighborhood
bank. Or, they like the security of actually seeing where their checks are deposited or the
feeling of cash in their hands.
If, on the other hand, time is a precious commodity, people who are a multi-tasker or just
like the convenience and control of doing their banking over the Internet, then online
banking is right for them

the private market and it is equal competitor of the SBI but SBI is performing better
because the trustworthiness of people are more towards SBI as compare to ICICI bank.

On the part of NPA, again SBI has fewer bad debts as compare to ICICI; the reason may
be the sound image of SBI in the eyes of customers. SBI is leading and has also many
rural and urban branches, it also gives strength to SBI and makes it enable to cover the
advance given which in turn reduce the bad debts of SBI whereas in case of ICICI, it
needs to work hard to recover the amount given as advance. The data also reveals that
ICICI has circulated more advances to the customers as compare to SBI, this also one
reason which increases the bad debts of ICICI. Market test ratio calculation and graph
reveals that the again the market position of SBI is much better than the ICICI. The one
reason can be that SBI is public sector bank; and the second reason can be that the SBI is
the oldest bank has captured the large market which again improve and increases its
market position.

should concentrate on different aspects to retain the existing customers as well as
attracting new ones.
Bank should be provided more electronic services which saves the precious time
of the customers(companies).
All the banks (public & pvt.) should improve the network coverage all over the
India.
The banks should make available the additional supplementary services like bank
cards, ATM, custody services.
Companies & Firms should consider all factors such as interest rate,
supplementary services, banks image etc.while taking decision for apply for
financial services to any bank.
Banks should try to build a good image in the service sector.
49
RECOMMENDATION
Bank staff should be customer friendly and highly motivated to serve the
normal customers.
As far as possible the bank should reduce the documentation process while
providing loan.
Computerization should be done in banks at all levels and the operators
should be properly trained.
Token system should be introduced so as to reduce the waiting line in the
bank.
Proper ambience in the banks can develop a healthy work culture.
Should be flexible in providing interest of the deposited money.
Quick services should be provided.
CONCLUSION
Credit is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the success of an urban informal
50
sector enterprise. Banks should do what they can to provide related services. In this
context, the work done by Canara and Syndicate Banks to establish Rural Development
and Self Employment Training Institutes (RUDSETIs), can be replicated even for urban
areas. In addition, attempts should be made to identify and direct infrastructure
investments and common facilities in areas where there is a possibility of servicing a
large number of urban informal sector producers such as handloom and handicraft
clusters and agro-processing zones
India needs an Apex Bank for Urban Development (ABUD) urgently to address many
issues of complexity in urban micro credit. Concluding the series, the following points
will thus help design an ABUD.
Train banks, NGOs, urban local bodies, and self help groups
Monitor and evaluate both financial and social developments of urban micro
credit
