EVOLUTION OF INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

Reserve Bank of India:

1. Initially established in 1935

2. Transfer to Public Ownership in 1949

Three phases of Indian Banking System:

1. Early phase (1935 – 1969)

2. Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian banking sector Reforms.

3. New phase with the advent of Indian Financial & Banking Sector Reforms (post-1991).

NATIONALIZATION

Nationalization is the process of taking a private industry or private assets into public ownership by a national government or state

14 banks nationalized in 1969

6 banks nationalized in 1980

Steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions in the Country:

1. 1949 : Enactment of Banking Regulation Act.

2. 1955 : Nationalisation of State Bank of India.

3. 1959 : Nationalisation of SBI subsidiaries.

4. 1961 : Insurance cover extended to deposits.

5. 1969 : Nationalisation of 14 major banks.

NEED FOR NATIONALIZATION

Private commercial banks were not fulfilling the social and developmental goals of banking which are so essential for any industrialising country.

Despite the enactment of the Banking Regulation Act in 1949 and the nationalisation of the largest bank, the State Bank of India, in 1955, the expansion of commercial banking had largely excluded rural areas and small-scale borrowers.

1969

Public has lesser confidence in the banks.

Led to slower deposit mobilization.

Savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer.

Moreover, loans were largely given to traders.

2013

After nationalisation, public sector bank branches rose to approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.

Banks with Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.

After 1991 reforms and technological up gradation of the banks, the situation is such that the country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations.

Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers.

Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. 

EFFECTS OF NATIONALIZATION

Increase in number of branches

More concentration of banks in rural, unbanked and under banked areas

Increase in deposits, lendings

Priority sector lendings were introduced.
