In the recent past, The Indian banking industry has been developing at a tremendous pace.

Indian banking sector is more resilient to the global financial turmoil which was vividly

evident from the recent experience. Strong optimism about the future growth of Indian

Economy is conducive for the rapid development of the Banking Industry. Over the last couple

of years, the strategies adopted by the banks are undergoing significant transformation in order

to make the banks more competitive. In spite of this, The Indian banking system has been

confronting problems like falling asset quality and poor capital adequacy in the light of

accumulating bad loans. A high and rising proportion of banks stressed loans, particularly

those of public sector banks (PSBs) and a consequent increase in provisioning for non-

performing assets (NPAs) substantially affected the banking industry. Currently, the most

affected are the public sector banks, which dominate the Indian banking system. In March

2017, the average bad loans of PSBs stood at 75% of their net worth. The announcement of

demonetisation gave a big jolt to the Indian economy. It had unprecedented effect on the

banking industry. The banking sector was the beneficiary with access to huge deposits. The

move towards a less cash economy will incentivize digital mode of transactions. The

perception of risk management is fundamentally changing within today's institutions. It is no

longer purely used as a control mechanism. Risk is inevitable in the banking business and

hence, a sound risk management framework is the touchstone of an efficient bank. In the light

of those issues and challenges confronted by the Indian Banking sector, the seminar would be a

platform for exchange of empirical knowledge by the eminent persons in the academia and

industry. The objective of this seminar is to identify the emerging trends and innovations in

banking sector.
