BANKING IN INDIA
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first
banks were, The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of

Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in
India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The Bank of
Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency
banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras.
The presidency banks were established under charters from the British East
India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India,
which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For
many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their
successors. The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of
regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence
in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.
Early historyThe first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in
1865. However, at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks
in India in the modern sense of the term. The American Civil War stopped
the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States. Promoters
opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to
speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period
failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with
banks. Subsequently, banking in India remained the exclusive domain of
Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the 20th century.
Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s.
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)

The Comptoire d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860,
and another in Bombay in 1862; branches in Madras and Pondichery, then a
French colony, followed. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India,
mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and so became a banking
center.
The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India .
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing
through a relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since
the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had
improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which served
particular ethnic and religious communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India. There were also some
exchange banks and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks
operated in different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly
owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint
stock banks were generally under capitalized and lacked the experience and
maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This
segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we
are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by
solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments."
By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such as
Punjab National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in
Mumbai - both of which were founded under private ownership. Punjab
National Bank is the first Swadeshi Bank founded by the leaders like Lala
Lajpat Rai, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. The Swadeshi movement in
particular inspired local businessmen and political figures to found banks of

and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have
survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian
Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India.
Nationalized Banks in India
Banking System in India is dominated by nationalized banks. The
nationalization of banks in India took place in 1969 by Mrs. Indira Gandhi
the then prime minister. The major objective behind nationalization was to
spread banking infrastructure in rural areas and make available cheap
finance to Indian farmers. Fourteen banks were nationalized in 1969. Before
1969, State Bank of India (SBI) was the only public sector bank in India.
SBI was nationalized in 1955 under the SBI Act of 1955. The second phase
of nationalization of Indian banks took place in the year 1980. Seven more
banks were nationalized with deposits over 200 crores.
List of Public Sector Banks in India is as follows:
Allahabad Bank
Andhra Bank
Bank of Baroda
Bank of India
Bank of Maharashtra
Canara Bank
Central Bank of India Corporation Bank

Private Banks in India
All the banks in India were earlier private banks. They were founded in the
preindependence era to cater to the banking needs of the people. But after
ationalization of banks in 1969 public sector banks came to occupy
dominant role in the banking structure. Private sector banking in India
received a fillip in 1994 when Reserve Bank of India encouraged setting up
of private banks as part of its policy of liberalization of the Indian Banking
Industry. Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was
amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector. Private Banks have
played a major role in the development of Indian banking industry. They
have made banking more efficient and customer friendly. In the process they
have jolted public sector banks out of complacency and forced them to
become more competitive.

RETAIL BANKING

AN INTRODUCTION
Retail banking is typical mass-market banking where individualcustomers use local branches of larger commercial banks. Services
offered include: savings and checking accounts, mortgages, personal
loans, debit cards, credit cards, and so
Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of
commercial banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets
sides of the balance sheet. Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities
side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing, auto, and educational) on
the assets side, are the more important of the products offered by banks.
Related ancillary services include credit cards, or depository services. Retail
banking refers to provision of banking services to individuals and small
business where the financial institutions are dealing with large number of
low value transactions. This is in contrast to wholesale banking where the
customers are large, often multinational companies, governments and
government enterprise, and the financial institution deal in small numbers of
high value transactions. The concept is not new to banks but is now viewed
as an important and attractive market segment that offers opportunities for
growth and profits. Retail banking and retail lending are often used as
synonyms but in fact, the later is just the part of retail banking. In retail
banking all the needs of individual customers are taken care of in a well-
integrated manner.
Todays retail banking sector is characterized by three basic
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
15/55
characteristics:
Multiple products (deposits, credit cards, insurance, investments
and securities).
Multiple channels of distribution (call center, branch, internet).
Multiple customer groups (consumer, small business, and
corporate).
Scope for Retail Banking in India
All round increase in economic activity.
Increase in the purchasing power. The rural areas have the large
purchasing power at their disposal and this is an opportunity to
market Retail Banking.
India has 200 million households and 400 million middleclass
population more than 90% of the savings come from the house hold
sector. Falling interest rates have resulted in a shift. Now People
Want To Save Less And Spend More.
Nuclear family concept is gaining much importance which may lead
to large savings, large number of banking services to be provided are
day-by-day increasing.
Tax benefits are available for example in case of housing loans the
borrower can avail tax benefits for the loan repayment and the
interest charged for the loan.
Challenges to Retail Banking in India
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
16/55
The issue of money laundering is very important in retail banking.
This compels all the banks to consider seriously all the documents
which they accept while approving the loans.
The issue of outsourcing has become very important in recent past
because various core activities such as hardware and software
maintenance, entire ATM set up and operation (including cash,
refilling) etc., are being outsourced by Indian banks.
Banks are expected to take utmost care to retain the ongoing trust
of the public. Customer service should be at the end all in retail banking.
Someone has rightly said, It takes months to find a good customer
but only seconds to lose one. Thus, strategy of Knowing Your
Customer (KYC) is important. So the banks are required to adopt
innovative strategies to meet customers needs and requirements
in terms of services/products etc.
The dependency on technology has brought IT departments
additional responsibilities and challenges in managing, maintaining
and optimizing the performance of retail banking networks. It is
equally important that banks should maintain security to the
advance level to keep the faith of the customer.
The efficiency of operations would provide the competitive edge for
the success in retail banking in coming years.
The customer retention is of paramount important for the
profitability if retail banking business, so banks need to retain their
customer in order to increase the market share.
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
17/55
One of the crucial impediments for the growth of this sector is the
acute shortage of manpower talent of this specific nature, a
modern banking professional, for a modern banking sector.
If all these challenges are faced by the banks with utmost care and
deliberation, the retail banking is expected to play a very important role in
coming years, as in case of other nations.

2. DEPOSITS
Fixed Deposits
Safety, Security and Growth
Axis Bank offers simple reinvestment Fixed Deposits (at very competitive
interest rates), which can be opened with a minimum investment of
Rs 10,000. One can make additions to deposit in multiples of Rs 1,000 each.
The tenure of your deposit must be a minimum of 6 months.
Different types of deposits are:
a. Reinvestment Deposits:
Here the interest accrued to deposit at the end of each quarter is invested
along with the principal. The tenure of deposit must be a minimum of 6
months. At the end of the quarter, the interest and the principal are both
rolled over, and the interest is calculated on the total sum. Income tax is
deducted at source.
b. Automatic Rollover:
Here there is facility for automatic rollovers on maturity (for both the
principal and interest). One can select this option in the Account Opening
Document (AOD). The options available are:
* Rollover only Principal:
Only the principal amount will be rolled over. The interest will be either
credited to designated account or paid out.
* Rollover Principal and Interest accrued in Reinvestment Deposit:
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
24/55
This will rollover both the deposit and the interest accrued for the same
tenure at the interest rate applicable on the maturity date.
Withdrawals :
All encashments or withdrawals of Fixed Deposits can only be made at the
branch where the deposit was booked.
Recurring Deposits
Power of compounding
Features :
Recurring deposits are accepted in equal monthly installments ofminimum Rs 1,000 and above in multiples of Rs 500 thereafter.
Transfer of Accounts
The amount of installment once fixed, cannot be changed .
Installment for any calendar month is to be paid on or before the last
working day of the month. Where there is delay in payment of
installment, one can regularise the account by paying the defaulted
installment together with a penalty (at present it is @ PLR plus 4 %
for the period of delay).Fraction of a month will be treated as full
month for the purpose of calculating the penalty.
Encash 24
The Encash 24 (Flexi Deposit) gives the liquidity of a Savings Account
coupled with high earnings of a Fixed Deposit. This is achieved by creating
a Fixed Deposit linked to Savings Account providing following unique
facilities:
Maximum Returns:
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
25/55
As soon as the balance in Savings Account crosses over Rs 25,000,
the excess, in multiples of Rs 10,000 will be transferred automatically to a
higher interest earning Fixed Deposit Account. The maturity of fixed or term
deposits formed as a result of transfer of money from the Savings Bank
account will be for a maximum period of 181 days and the interest will be
calculated on simple interest rate basis.
Maximum Liquidity:
The money parked in Fixed Deposits as a result of the above
mentioned sweep out from your Savings account can be easily accessed by
issuing a cheque, withdrawing through ATM etc. This amount isautomatically reverse swept from the most recently formed Fixed Deposit in
units of Rs 5,000 to the Savings account whenever the balance in your
Savings account falls below Rs 25,000. The amount broken from Fixed
Deposit will earn interest rates at the applicable rate for the period that the
deposit was held with the Bank. The remaining amount of Fixed Deposit
will continue to earn the contracted rate of interest.
Auto Renewal:
On maturity of linked Fixed Deposit, the Bank will automatically renew it
for a maximum period of 181 days.

Axis Bank's Corporate Card offers the best travel and expense management
solution to corporates with global acceptance and customized solutions
powered by VISA.
Axis Bank Corporate Card comes with two liability options:
1. Corporate Liability: Corporate Liability Corporate Cards are an effective
way of managing travel policies and negotiating preferential terms with key
suppliers. These cards are issued after credit assessment of the corporate;
who in turn defines the limit on individual cards. The corporate bears the
liability for the entire outstanding amount on the cards. The payment is
made directly to the Bank once a month instead of multiple payments to
individual employees/suppliers. Exposure risk of the Corporate is mitigated
by the fact that the card is a charge card wherein the full payment is to be
made at the end of each month with no revolve allowed on the outstanding.
2. Individual Liability: Individual Liability Cards based on the same lines as
the personal Credit Cards are an effective way for the employees to keeptheir personal and official expenses separate while at the same time
simplifying the reimbursement process. Individual employees are assessed
for assignment of credit limit on each card and are solely liable for the
payment of spends done on the card.

Interpretation:
Here we can see that the current liabilities of the bank is very high but on the
other hand bank dont have enough assets so the result is Working Capital of
the Bank is decreasing year by year which is not a good sign for the bank. Its
shows the bank dont have a enough money to pay their day to day
expenses.

2006-2007 (1.14)
2007-2008 (1.46)2008-2009 (1.98)
Interpretation:
The working capital turnover ratio is used to analyze the relationship
between the money used to fund operations and the sales generated from
these operations. In a general sense, the higher the working capital turnover,
the better because it means that the company is generating a lot of sales
compared to the money it uses to fund the sales. In the case of AXIS BANK
working capital turnover ratio is negative in most of the year only in the year
2004-05 is a positive as well as high. So its shows the bank has used a more
funds in compare to generate sales which is not show a good sign for bank.

Return on assets (ROA) is an indicator of how profitable a company is
relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to how efficient
management is at using its assets to generate earnings. In the case of AXIS
BANK ROA is decreasing from the year 2004-2005 to 2006-07 but after the
year 2006-07 it has increased so we can say that previously the bank was not
utilize their assets efficiently but now the bank is doing which may be a
good sign for bank in future.

Interpretation:
The debt equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt
financing has been used in business. It indicates what proportion of equity
and debt the company is using to finance its assets. As a generaL rule there
should be a mix of owner fund and outside fund. The AXIS BANK is having
high debt equity ratio in the year 2004-05 and 2006-07 its means the bank
was very aggressive in financing its growth with debt.

Interpretation:
Fixed assets are used in the business for producing goods to be sold. Theeffective utilization of fixed assets will result in increased production and
reduced cost. Fixed Assets Turnover ratio is increasing which shows that
fixed assets are efficiently utilized. In the case of AXIS BANK the fixed
asset turnover ratio is continuously increasing from the year 2005-06 to
2007-08 and in the year 2008-09 it was very high. It reflects that bank was
utilizing their assets in a efficient manner.

judges whether current assets are sufficient to meet the current liabilities.
The company must be able to meet its current obligations out of the current
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
49/55
assets. The standard current ratio is 2:1 it means the company should have
such total current assets which are twice of their current liabilities but in the
case of AXIS BANK the current ratio does not match up with standard ratio.
And it is not increasing continuously year by year and it shows the bank
doesnt have enough assets to pay their liabilities.
QUICK RATIO

2006-2007 7.392007-2008 9.23
2008-2009 9.52
Interpretation:
It is an indicator of a company's short-term liquidity. The quick ratio
measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most
liquid assets. It is called liquid because it can be easily converted in to cash.The higher the quick ratio, the better the position of the company. It is said
that standard ratio of liquidity must be 1:1. So we can say that in the case of
AXIS BANK the ratio is more than standard ratio in every year. So its
shows the bank is able to meet their short term obligation which is good for
the bank.

LIMITATIONS
-
8/9/2019 Project of Hena (Pgdfs)
53/55
The survey took much time due to calculation of each and every ratio
of Axis bank.
The scope of project was quite wide , thus it was difficult to have a
proper and equal reach in the scope.
Due to expenditure of money on collection of data , this research
could not be done efficiently.
Due to lack of time, the survey of some area in retail banking of axis
bank was missed.
The data may be uncomplete due to lack of proper source of
information.
The project may be untrue due to my individual opinion as it may
vary with individual opinions.
