State Bank of India

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the

establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received

its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the

first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15

April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These

three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the

Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernize India’s economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.

Bank of Bengal H.O.

Establishment

The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock banking in

India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to

issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical

area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two

siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. It meant an accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital

on which the proprietors did not have to pay any interest. The concept of deposit banking was also an

innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in some cases, even

investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not spread as a general habit in

most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially up to the time that the three

presidency banks had a right of note issue, bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of

the investible resources of the banks.

The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time. Each charter

provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the rest owned by the

provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board.

Business

The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or other negotiable

private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and circulating cash notes.

Loans were restricted to Rs. one lakh and the period of accommodation confined to three months only.

The security for such loans was public securities, commonly called Company’s Paper, bullion, treasure,

plate, jewels, or goods ‘not of a perishable nature’ and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of

twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods, mule

twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained momentum only

from the third decade of the nineteenth century. All commodities, including tea, sugar and jute, which

began to be financed later, were either pledged or hypothecated to the bank. Demand promissory notes

were signed by the borrower in favour of the guarantor, which was in turn endorsed to the bank.

Lending against shares of the banks or on the mortgage of houses, land or other real property was,

however, forbidden.

Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company’s paper, while the business of

discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopoly of individuals Europeans

and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities.

Old Bank of Bengal

Major change in the conditions

a major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras occurred

after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861, the right of note issue of the

presidency banks was abolished and the Government of India assumed from 1 March 1862 the sole

power of issuing paper currency within British India. The task of management and circulation of the new

currency notes was conferred on the presidency banks and the Government undertook to transfer the

Treasury balances to the banks at places where the banks would open branches. None of the

three banks had till then any branches (except the sole attempt and that to a short-lived one by the

Bank of Bengal at Mirzapore in 1839) although the charters had given them such authority. But as soon

as the three presidency bands were assured of the free use of government Treasury balances at places

where they would open branches, they embarked on branch expansion at a rapid pace. By 1876, the

branches, agencies and sub agencies of the three presidency banks covered most of the major parts

and many of the inland trade centres in India. While the Bank of Bengal had eighteen branches

including its head office, seasonal branches and sub agencies, the Banks of Bombay and Madras had fifteen each.

Presidency Banks Act

The presidency Banks Act, which came into operation on 1 May 1876, brought the three

presidency banks under a common statute with similar restrictions on business. The proprietary

connection of the Government was, however, terminated, though the banks continued to hold charge of

the public debt offices in the three presidency towns, and the custody of a part of the government

balances. The Act also stipulated the creation of Reserve Treasuries at Calcutta, Bombay and Madras

into which sums above the specified minimum balances promised to the presidency banks at only their

head offices were to be lodged. The Government could lend to the presidency banks from such Reserve Treasuries but the latter could look upon them more as a favour than as a right.

Bank of Madras

The decision of the Government to keep the surplus balances in Reserve Treasuries outside the normal

control of the presidency banks and the connected decision not to guarantee minimum government

balances at new places where branches were to be opened effectively checked the growth of new

branches after 1876. The pace of expansion witnessed in the previous decade fell sharply although, in

the case of the Bank of Madras, it continued on a modest scale as the profits of that bank were mainly

derived from trade dispersed among a number of port towns and inland centres of the presidency.

India witnessed rapid commercialisation in the last quarter of the nineteenth century as its railway

network expanded to cover all the major regions of the country. New irrigation networks in Madras,

Punjab and Sind accelerated the process of conversion of subsistence crops into cash crops, a portion

of which found its way into the foreign markets. Tea and coffee plantations transformed large areas of

the eastern Terrains, the hills of Assam and the Nilgiris into regions of estate agriculture par excellence.

All these resulted in the expansion of India’s international trade more than six-fold. The three

presidency banks were both beneficiaries and promoters of this

commercialisation process as they became involved in the financing of practically every trading,

manufacturing and mining activity in the sub-continent. While the Banks of Bengal and Bombay were

engaged in the financing of large modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the

financing of large modern manufacturing industries, the Bank of Madras went into the financing of small-

scale industries in a way which had no parallel elsewhere. But the three banks were rigorously excluded

from any business involving foreign exchange. Not only was such business considered risky for

these banks, which held government deposits, it was also feared that these banks enjoying government

patronage would offer unfair competition to the exchange banks which had by then arrived in India. This

exclusion continued till the creation of the Reserve Bank of India in 1935.

Bank of Bombay

Presidency Banks of Bengal

The presidency Banks of Bengal, Bombay and Madras with their 70 branches were merged in 1921 to

form the Imperial Bank of India. The triad had been transformed into a monolith and a giant among

Indian commercial banks had emerged. The new bank took on the triple role of a commercial bank, a

banker’s bank and a banker to the government.

The establishment of the Reserve Bank of India as the central bank of the country in 1935 ended the

quasi-central banking role of the Imperial Bank. The latter ceased to be bankers to the Government of

India and instead became agent of the Reserve Bank for the transaction of government business at

centres at which the central bank was not established. But it continued to maintain currency chests and

small coin depots and operate the remittance facilities scheme for other banks and the public on terms

stipulated by the Reserve Bank. It also acted as a bankers’ bank by holding their surplus cash and

granting them advances against authorized securities. The management of the bank clearing houses

also continued with it at many places where the Reserve Bank did not have offices. The bank was also

the biggest tenderer at the Treasury bill auctions conducted by the Reserve Bank on behalf of the

Government.

Imperial Bank

The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded an impressive growth in

terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and advances, the increases in some cases amounting

to more than six-fold. The financial status and security inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided

a firm and durable platform. But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently

maintained and the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its

depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Bank to

acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the

country’s economic life.

Stamp of Imperial Bank of India

When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of Rs.11.85

crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores respectively and a network of

172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all over the country.

First Five Year Plan

In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India was given the

highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Imperial Bank of India had till then

confined their operations to the urban sector and were not equipped to respond to the emergent needs

of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In order, therefore, to serve the economy in general and

the rural sector in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of

a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating

with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was accordingly passed in Parliament in

May 1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a quarter of the

resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct control of the State. Later, the

State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the State Bank of India to take

over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries (later named Associates).The State Bank of

India was destined to act as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the

exciting field of national development.

RESEARCH

METHODOLOGY

Objective of study

The main objective of this study was to know about history of SBI, their management level, their

products and services, their shareholding pattern, their customer care services and also know about

their financial performance. In short to know in detail about SBI.

Limitations of the study

There were few limitations, while completing the project

Biggest hurdle faced was regarding books because there are hardly any books which contain mainly

SBI as a separate topic.

Secondly, there was a problem while collecting primary data because time was clashing and when I

seemed to be free, the manager wasn’t and vice versa.

Since my study was only highlighting on SBI, I couldn’t concentrate or generalize result of other banks

Expected outcome of study

The expected outcome of the study is the result which I came out with and through which I am

successful in completing this entire project.

Sources of data

The source of data this project contains is firstly the books that contained details of State Bank of India.

Secondly the data was also collected through the website of State Bank of India and through internet.

Thirdly, Data was also collected from Magazine and Newspapers and the most important is the primary

data which was collected by conducting oral interview with the manager of SBI, Mr.Ramesh Pawar, Mira

road branch.

- eight branches in the state of California and one in Washington, D.C. The 9th branch was opened in

Tustin, California on 7th March, 2011. The other seven branches in California are located in Los Angeles,

Associate Banks

SBI has five associate banks:

State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur

State Bank of Hyderabad

State Bank of Mysore

State Bank of Patiala

State Bank of Travancore

State Bank of Saurashtra  - merged with SBI in 2008.

State Bank of Indore  - merged with SBI in 2010.

Earlier SBI had only seven associate banks that, with SBI, constitute the State Bank Group. All use the

same logo of a blue keyhole and all the associates use the "State Bank of" name, followed by the regional

headquarters' name. Originally, the then seven banks that became the associate banks belonged

to princely states until the government nationalised them between October 1959 and May 1960. In tune

with the first Five Year Plan, emphasizing the development of rural India, the government integrated these

banks into the State Bank of India to expand its rural outreach. There has been a proposal to merge all

the associate banks into SBI to create a "mega bank" and streamline operations.

The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of Saurashtra merged

with SBI, reducing the number of state banks from seven to six. Then on 19 June 2009 the SBI board

approved the merger of its subsidiary, State Bank of Indore, with itself. SBI holds 98.3% in State Bank of

Indore. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its takeover by the government hold the balance of

1.77%.

The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing network of 12,448 and over

21,000 ATMs. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets will inch very close to the Rs 10-lakh crore

mark. Total assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore stood at Rs 998,119 crore as on March 2009. The

process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April 2010, and the SBI Indore Branches

started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August 2010.

AGRICULTURE / RURAL

[Print Page]

State Bank of India Caters to the needs of agriculturists and landless agricultural labourers through a network of 8750 rural and semi-urban branches. Apart from the branches, there are 428 Agricultural Development Branches (ADBs) which also cater to agriculturists. We are the leaders in agri finance in the country with a portfolio of Rs. 64,000 crs in agri advances covering around 80 lac accounts.

Our branches have covered a whole gamut of agricultural activities like crop production , horticulture , plantation crops, farm mechanization, land development and reclamation, digging of wells, tube wells and irrigation projects, forestry, construction of cold storages and godowns, processing of agri-products, finance to agri-input dealers, allied activities like dairy , fisheries, poultry, sheep-goat, piggery and rearing of silk worms.

To give special focus to agriculture lending Bank has also appointed agri specialists in various disciplines to handle projects/ guide farmers in their agri ventures.  Advances are given to borrowers for very small activities covering poorest of the poor to hitech activities involving large fund outlays.

Now we are setting up Agri Commercial Branches (ACBs) which will handle high value agri financing involving large investments. It envisages lending through corporate partnerships and other large enterprises for commodity financing, investment credit, other high value agriculture segments like horticulture, floriculture & food processing etc. It also focuses on Agri related SME including setting up of Rice and Dhal mills, seed processing industry, food processing industry, large and small scale dairy units, etc. 

Traditionally, rural business is associated with agriculture and allied activities. Of late however, the trickle down effect of economic growth, renewed focus on infrastructure development, and employment generation in rural areas have led to huge investment by the Government in rural India, with a view to bridge the urban and rural divide.

Considering that agriculture would continue to be significant driver of Indian economy, with the possibilities of rapid growth in emerging areas like contract farming, agro-processing and agro-export zones, etc., a separate Agri Business Unit (ABU) with a distinct organizational structure has been set up in the Bank and under noted objectives has been created in 2004:-

o   Providing focused attention on the banking requirements of the agriculture segment,

o   Achieving 18% target under agricultural advances as required under priority sector norms,

o   Focus on micro finance and SHG opportunities (now part of non-farm sector in Rural Business),

o   Focus on Key Corporate and Institutional relationships in agriculture, emerging opportunities, and special initiatives, as may be necessary,

o   Focus on product development and management,

o   Reduce NPA levels in Agriculture,

o   Make agriculture a commercial proposition.

ABU has four departments headed by Deputy General Managers.  :-

1.  Agri Business, Planning, Monitoring and Market Intelligence.

2.  Corporate and Institutional Relationship.

3.  Product Development and Marketing.

4.  RRBs & Lead Bank Department.

We also have an effective Marketing and recovery team in each region with responsibilities for marketing and building relationships with dealers of agri-products, organizing promotional events and for loan sanction, processing, monitoring and recovery.

With a collective effort of Govt. and the people, we are set forth to continue growth in the rural and agri development and become the ‘Banker to Every Indian’.
