CHAPTER-:1
INTRODUCTION
A feature of the banking industry across the globe has been that it is increasingly becoming
turbulent and competitive, characterized by an increasing trend towards internationalization,
mergers, takeovers and consolidation of the banking industry. Moreover a number of non-
banking companies are entering the banking industry by offering financial products and services
(e.g., Toyota’s credit card, GM’s auto financing, etc). This has given innumerable options to
customers in choosing banking services. As a response and aided by technological
developments, banks have attempted to build customer satisfaction through providing better
products and services and at the same time to reduce operating costs. Thus the banking industry
has been constantly innovating and with the advent of technological developments, particularly
in the area of telecommunications and information technology, one of the latest innovation that
took birth, and quite inevitably, has been the internet With cyber cafés and kiosks springing up
in different cities access to the Net is going to be easy. Internet banking (also referred as e
banking) is the latest in this series of technological wonders in the recent past involving use of
Internet for delivery of banking products & services. Even the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
Internet research emphasized that Web is more important for retail financial services than for
many other industries. Internet banking is changing the banking industry and is having the major
effects on banking relationships. Banking is now no longer confined to the branches were one
has to approach the branch in person, to withdraw cash or deposit a cheque or request a
statement of accounts. In true Internet banking, any inquiry or transaction is processed online
without any reference to the branch (anywhere banking) at any time. Providing Internet banking
5
is increasingly becoming a "need to have" than a "nice to have" service. The net banking, thus,
now is more of a norm rather than an exception in many developed countries due to the fact that
it is the cheapest way of providing banking services.
BANKING INDUSTRY PROFILE
The word "BANK" is derived from the 'Bancus' or 'Banque', which means a bench. In the early
days the European moneylenders and moneychangers used to sit on the benches and exhibit
coins of different countries in big heaps for the purpose of changing and lending money,
:
Definition:
A Banking company is defined as a company, which transacts the business of banking in India.
As per Banking Regulation Act 1949 Section 5(b)
"Banking means, accepting for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from
the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheque, draft, or otherwise."
According to Sir John Paget
"No person or body, corporate or otherwise can be a banker who does not, (a) take deposits
accounts, (b) take current accounts, (c) issue and pay cheques, (d) collect cheques, crossed and
uncrossed, for his customers."
In simple words we can say that bank is a financial institution which deals in money and credit
by obtaining deposits from public and giving loans and credit to trade and industrial respectively.

E-BANKING
WHAT IS E-BANKING?
Electronic banking is one of the truly widespread avatars of E-commerce the world over. Various
authors define E-Banking differently but the most definition depicting the meaning and features
of E-Banking are as follows:
1. Banking is a combination of two, Electronic technology and Banking.
2. Electronic Banking is a process by which a customer performs banking Transactions
electronically without visiting a brick-and-mortar institutions.
3. E-Banking denotes the provision of banking and related service through
Extensive use of information technology without direct recourse to the bank by
the customer.
NEED FOR E-BANKING
One has to approach the branch in person, to withdraw cash or deposit a cheque or request a
statement of accounts. In true Internet banking, any inquiry or transaction is processed online
without any reference to the branch (anywhere banking) at any time. Providing Internet banking
is increasingly becoming a "need to have" than a "nice to have" service. The net banking, thus,
now is more of a norm rather than an exception in many developed countries due to the fact that
it is the cheapest way of providing banking services. Banks have traditionally been in the
forefront of harnessing technology to improve their products, services and efficiency. They have,
17
over a long time, been using electronic and telecommunication networks for delivering a wide
range of value added products and services. The delivery channels include direct dial – up
connections, private networks, public networks etc and the devices include telephone, Personal
Computers including the Automated Teller Machines, etc. With the popularity of PCs, easy
access to Internet and World Wide Web (WWW), Internet is increasingly used by banks as a
channel for receiving instructions and delivering their products and services to their customers.
This form of banking is generally referred to as Internet Banking, although the range of products
and services offered by different banks vary widely both in their content and sophistication.
EVOLUTION OF E-BANKING
The story of technology in banking started with the use of punched card machines like
Accounting Machines or Ledger Posting Machines. The use of technology, at that time, was
limited to keeping books of the bank. It further developed with the birth of online real time
system and vast improvement in telecommunications during late 1970’s and 1980’s.it resulted in
a revolution in the field of banking with “convenience banking” as a buzzword. Through
Convenience banking, the bank is carried to the doorstep of the customer. The 1990’s saw the
birth of distributed computing technologies and Relational Data Base Management System. The
banking industry was simply waiting for these technologies. Now with distribution technologies,
one could configure dedicated machines called front-end machines for customer service and risk
control while communication in the batch mode without hampering the response time on the
front-end machine. Intense competition has forced banks to rethink the way they operated their
business.They had to reinvent and improve their products and services to make them more
beneficial and cost effective. Technology in the form of E-banking has made it possible to find
alternate banking practices at lower costs.More and more people are using electronic banking
products and services because large section of the banks future customer base will be made up of
computer literate customer, the banks must be able to offer these customer products and services
that allow them to do their banking by electronic means. If they fail to do this will, simply, not
survive. New products and services are emerging that are set to change the way welook at money
and the monetary system.

E-Banking transaction Mechanism
E-BANKING PRODUCTS
Automated Teller Machine (ATM )These are cash dispensing machine, which are frequently seen at banks and other locations such
as shopping centers and building societies. Their main purpose is to allow customer to draw cash
at any time and to provide banking services where it would not have been viable to open another
branch e.g. on university campus. An automated teller machine or automatic teller machine
(ATM) is a computerized telecommunications device that provides a financial institution's
customers a method of financial\ transactions in a public space without the need for a human
clerk or bank teller. On most modern ATMs, the customer identifies him or herself by inserting a
plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smartcard with a chip that contains his or
her card number and some security information, such as an expiration date or CVC (CVV).
Security is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN). Using an
ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals (or credit
card cash advances) and check their account balances. Many ATMs also allow people to deposit
cash or checks, transfer money between their bank accounts, pay bills, or purchase goods and
services. ATMs are known by various casual terms including cash machine, hole-in-the-wall,
cash point or Bancomat (in Europe and Russia). The occasionally-used ATM Machine is an
example of RAS syndrome.
Some of the advantages of ATM to customers are:-
Ability to draw cash after normal banking hours
20
Quicker than normal cashier service
Complete security as only the card holder knows the PIN
Does not just operate as a medium of obtaining ca
Customer can sometimes use the services of other bank ATM’s.
Telebanking or Phone Banking
Telephone banking is relatively new Electronic Banking Product. However it is fastly becoming
one of the most popular products. Customer can perform a number of transactions from the
convenience of their own home or office; in fact from anywhere they have access to phone.
Customers can do following:-
Check balances and statement information
Transfer funds from one account to another
Pay certain bills
Order statements or cheque book
Demand draft request
This facility is available with the help of Voice Response System (VRS). This system basically,
accepts only TONE dialed input. Like the ATM customer has to follow particular process,
initially account number and telephone PIN are fed for the process to start. Also the VRS system
provides the users within additional facilities such as changing existing password with the new
desired, information about new products, current interest rates etc.
Mobile Banking
Mobile banking comes in as a part of the banks initiative to offer multiple channel banking
providing convenience for its customer. A versatile multifunctional, free service that is
accessible and viewable on the monitor of mobile phone. Mobile phones are playing great role in
Indian banking- both directly and indirectly. They are being used both as banking and other
channels.
21
Internet Banking
The advent of the Internet and the popularity of personal computers presented both an
opportunity and a challenge for the banking industry. For years, financial institutions have used
powerful computer networks to automate million of daily transactions; today,
Customer can sometimes use the services of other bank ATM’s.

TYPES OF INTERNET BANKING OR E-BANKING
Understanding the various types of Internet banking will help examiners assess the risks
involved. Currently, the following three basic kinds of Internet banking are being employed in
the marketplace.
Informational- this is the basic level of Internet banking. Typically, the bank has marketing
information about the bank’s products and services on a stand-alone server. The risk is relatively
low, as informational systems typically have no path between the server and the bank’s internal
network. This level of Internet banking can be provided by the banks or outsourced. While the
23
risk to a bank is relatively low, the server or web site may be vulnerable to alteration.
Appropriate controls therefore must be in place to prevent unauthorized alterations to the bank’s
server or web site.
Communicative- this type of Internet banking systems and the customer. The interaction
between the bank’s system and the customer. The interaction may be limited to electronic mail,
account enquiry, loan applications, or static file updates (name and address change). Because
these servers may have a path to the bank’s internal networks, the risk is higher with this
configuration than with informational systems. Appropriate controls need to be in the place to
prevent, monitor, and alert management of any unauthorized attempt to access the bank’s
internal networks and computer systems. Virus controls also become much more critical in this
environment.
Transactional- this level of Internet banking allows customers to execute transactions. Since
a path typically exists between the server and the bank or outsourcer’s internal network, this is
the highest risk architecture and must have the strongest controls. Customer transactions can
include accessing accounts, paying bills, transferring funds etc.
ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET BANKING
Convenience- Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re available 24
hours a day, seven days a week, and they’re only a mouse click away.
Ubiquity- If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem arises, you
can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business, 24\7.
Transaction speed- Online bank sites generally execute and confirm transactions at or
quicker than ATM processing speeds.
24
Efficiency-You can access and manage all of your bank accounts, including IRA’s, CDs, even
securities, from one secure site.
Effectiveness- Many online banking sites now offer sophisticated tools, including account
aggregation, stock quotes, rate alert and portfolio managing program to help you manage all of
your assets more effectively. Most are also compatible with money managing programs such as
quicken and Microsoft money.
DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET BANKING
Start-up may take time-In order to register for your bank’s online program, you will
probably have to provide ID and sign a form at a bank branch. If you and your spouse wish to
view and manage their assets together online, one of you may have to sign a durable power of
attorney before the bank will display all of your holdings together.
Learning curves- Banking sites can be difficult to navigate at first. Plan to invest some time
and\or read the tutorials in order to become comfortable in your virtual lobby.
Bank site changes- Even the largest banks periodically upgrade their online programs,
adding new features in unfamiliar places. In some cases, you may have to re-enter account
information.

E- BANKING SERVICES:
1. Bill payment serviceEach bank has tie-ups with various utility companies, service providers and insurance
companies, across the country. It facilitates the payment of electricity and telephone bills, mobile
phone, credit card and insurance premium bills. To pay bills, a simple one-time registration for
each biller is to be completed. Standing instructions can be set, online to pay recurring bills,
automatically. One-time standing instruction will ensure that bill payments do not get delayed
due to lack of time. Most interestingly, the bank does not charge customers for online bill
payment.
2. Fund transferAny amount can be transferred from one account to another of the same or any another bank.
Customers can send money anywhere in India. Payee’s account number, his bank and the branch
is needed to be mentioned after logging in the account. The transfer will take place in a day or
so, whereas in a traditional method, it takes about three working days. ICICI Bank says that
online bill payment service and fund transfer facility have been their most popular online
services.
3. Credit card customersCredit card users have a lot in store. With Internet banking, customers can not only pay their
credit card bills online but also get a loan on their cards. Not just this, they can also apply for an
additional card, request a credit line increase and God forbid if you lose your credit card, you can
report lost card online.
4. Railway pass
26
This is something that would interest all the aam janta. Indian Railways has tied up with ICICI
bank and you can now make your railway pass for local trains online. The pass will be delivered
to you at your doorstep. But the facility is limited to Mumbai, Thane, Nasik, Surat and Pune. The
bank would just charge Rs 10 + 12.24 percent of service
tax.
5. Investing through Internet banking
Opening a fixed deposit account cannot get easier than this. An FD can be opened online through
funds transfer. Online banking can also be a great friend for lazy investors. Now investors with
interlinked demat account and bank account can easily trade in the stock market and the amount
will be automatically debited from their respective bank accounts and the shares will be credited
in their demat account. Moreover, some banks even give the facility to purchase mutual funds
directly from the online banking system. So it removes the worry about filling those big forms
for mutual funds, they will now be just a few clicks away. Nowadays, most leading banks offer
both online banking and demat account. However if the customer have there demat account with
independent share brokers, then need to sign a special form, which will link your two accounts.
6. Recharging your prepaid phoneNow there is no need to rush to the vendor to recharge the prepaid phone, every time the talk
time runs out. Just top-up the prepaid mobile cards by logging in to Internet banking. By just
selecting the operator's name, entering the mobile number and the amount for recharge, the
phone is again back in action within few minutes.
7. Shopping at your fingertipsLeading banks have tie ups with various shopping websites. With a range of all kind of products,
one can shop online and the payment is also made conveniently through the account. One can
also buy railway and air tickets through Internet banking

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
42
Every research is conducted under some constraints and this research is not an exception.
Limitations of this study are as follows:-
1. There were several time constraints.
2. The study is limited to areas of babain only.
3. The sample size of only 90 was taken from the large population for the purpose of study, so
there can be difference between results of sample from total population.
4. The study is related to service class people only.
5. People were reluctant to go in to details because of their busy schedules.
6. Merely asking questions and recording answers may not always elicit the actual information
sought.
7. Due to continuous change in environment, what is relevant today may be irrelevant tomorrow.
CONCLUSION
The usage of E-banking is all set to increase among the service class. The service class at the
moment is not using the services thoroughly due to various hurdling factors like insecurity and
fear of hidden costs etc. So banks should come forward with measures to reduce the
apprehensions of their customers through awareness campaigns and more meaningful
advertisements to make E-banking popular among all the age and income groups. Further, with
increasing consumer demands, banks have to constantly think of innovative customized services
to remain competitive. E-Banking is an innovative tool that is fast becoming a necessity. It is a
successful strategic weapon for banks to remain profitable in a volatile and competitive
marketplace of today. In future, the availability of technology to ensure safety and privacy of e-
transactions and the RBI guidelines on various aspects of internet banking will definitely help in
rapid growth of internet banking in India.
