OVERVIEW OF BANKING INDUSTRY IN
INDIA
The major participants of the Indian financial system are the
commercial banks, the financial institutions (FIs), encompassing term-
lending institutions, investment institutions, specialized financial
institutions and the state-level development banks, Non-Bank Financial
Companies (NBFCs) and other market intermediaries such as the stock
brokers and money-lenders. The commercial banks and certain variants of
NBFCs are among the oldest of the market participants. The FIs, on the
other hand, are relatively new entities in the financial market place.
Bank of Hindustan, set up in 1870, was the earliest Indian Bank .
Banking in India on modern lines started with the establishment of three
presidency banks under Presidency Bank's act 1876 i.e. Bank of Calcutta,
Bank of Bombay and Bank of Madras. In 1921, all presidency banks were
amalgamated to form the Imperial Bank of India. Imperial bank carried out
limited central banking functions also prior to establishment of RBI. It
engaged in all types of commercial banking business except dealing in
foreign exchange.
Reserve Bank of India Act was passed in 1934 & Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) was constituted as an apex bank without major government
ownership. Banking Regulations Act was passed in 1949. This regulation
brought Reserve Bank of India under government control. Under the act,
8
RBI got wide ranging powers for supervision & control of banks. The Act
also vested licensing powers & the authority to conduct inspections in RBI
In 1955, RBI acquired control of the Imperial Bank of India, which was renamed as State Bank of India. In 1959, SBI took over control of eight private banks floated in the erstwhile princely states, making them as its 100% subsidiaries.
RBI was empowered in 1960, to force compulsory merger of weak banks with the strong ones. The total number of banks was thus reduced from 566 in 1951 to 85 in 1969. In July 1969, government nationalised 14 banks having deposits of Rs.50 crores & above. In 1980, government acquired 6 more banks with deposits of more than Rs.200 crores. Nationalisation of banks was to make them play the role of catalytic agents for economic growth. The Narsimham Committee report suggested wide ranging reforms for the banking sector in 1992 to introduce internationally accepted banking practices.
The amendment of Banking Regulation Act in 1993 saw the entry of new private sector banks.
Banking Segment in India functions under the umbrella of Reserve Bank of India - the regulatory, central bank. This segment broadly consists of:
Commercial; Banks
Co-operative Banks
Commercial Banks
The commercial banking structure in India consists of:
• Scheduled Commercial Banks
• Unscheduled Banks
Scheduled commercial Banks constitute those banks which have been
included in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India(RBI) Act, 1934.
RBI in turn includes only those banks in this schedule which satisfy the
criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act. Some co-operative banks
are scheduled commercial banks albeit not all co-operative banks are. Being
9
a part of the second schedule confers some benefits to the bank in terms of
access to accomodation by RBI during the times of liquidity constraints. At
the same time, however, this status also subjects the bank certain conditions
and obligation towards the reserve regulations of RBI. This sub sector can
broadly be classified into:
1. Public sector
2. Private sector
3. Foreign banks.
CO-OPERATIVE BANKS
There are two main categories of the co-operative banks.
(a) Short term lending oriented co-operative Banks - within this
category there are three sub categories of banks viz state co-operative
banks, District co-operative banks and Primary Agricultural co-
operative societies.
(b) Long term lending oriented co-operative Banks - within the
second category there are land development banks at three levels state
level, district level and village level.
The co-operative banking structure in India is divided into following
main 5 categories: (Visit us again for details of each category)
1. Primary Urban Co-op Banks:
2. Primary Agricultural Credit Societies:
3. District Central Co-op Banks:

• FEATURES OF HOME LOAN
• HOME LOAN INDIA
• TYPES OF HOME LOAN
• WHY TAKE A HOME LOAN
• CHECK LIST FOR HOME LOAN
• RBI DIRECTIVES FOR HOME LOAN
HOME LOAN
Home loans are provided based on the market value, mainly estimation
given by banks or the registration value of the property. Availing various
types of house loans to suit your individual needs at the lowest rates & easy
financing can now fulfill the need for a house of your own.
Home loan is not a one-time decision; do review the market periodically
33
before availing them. Today there are unlimited numbers of banks in the
country wanting to give out Home loans. Given this scenario, it may seem
easy getting yourself a loan. But is it really??
Buyers tend to make mistakes while entering into deals, which may not be
beneficial for them, so better compare all the variables before signing a loan
agreement by different banks. However the loan agreement should be
finalized only after reading the terms and conditions carefully.
You can apply for a Home loan even before you select your property. The
loan amount would be sanctioned or approved for you, based on your
repayment capability.
Features of house loan:
• Purpose: For purchase of house from builder / resale and construction /
extension of existing house.
• Loan amount: You can avail for Home loans need based depending on
your eligibility, income and repayment capacity.
34
• Security: Home loan is a secured loan wherein collateral are required.
• Loan tenor: The maximum loan tenure is 25 years.
Planning to avail a home loan, you must adhere underneath points:
Firstly, take your own time and evaluate your expenses and do a market
survey about the property buying process. Buying a house, which is way
beyond your range, could affect you financially; banks help in financing
your dream home via home loans.
1. Eligibility
Banks determine your eligibility based on your repayment capacity and
discuss about the loan amount up front. The eligibility for acquiring a home
loan is augmented by clubbing income of your father/spouse/mother/son, by
clearing your outstanding debts, by stretching your loan tenure, Salaried
individuals can increase their eligibility by showing their performance
linked income or bonus earned.
Secondly, Do your own analysis and check the impact of your repayment of
home loan on your monthly expenditure, as a thumb rule, it’s recommended
to make sure the EMI of your home loan do not exceed more than 50% of
your gross monthly income.
2. Interest rates
35
An important factor that goes into your EMI calculations is the interest
rates, which may vary from bank to bank, so do compare them. Also do a
complete and detailed analysis of the various options like the interest rates
i.e. fixed and floating rate of interest.
Thirdly, if two banks give you the same amount of loan but at different
interest rates do your math and work out what's best for you.
a) Fixed interest loans
Charge an interest, which remains the same through out the tenure of the
loan. This means that the consumer is immune to market risk or the possible
upward movement in the interest rates.
Hence, fixed rate is a good option when the interest rates are expected to
move up in the future.
b) Floating rate loans
A consumer is exposed to market risk and his gain or loss depends on the
interest rate condition prevailing in the market. Floating rate is beneficial if
the interest rate falls in the future. A floating rate is considered non-
transparent and is also known as 'adjustable rate'.
Fourthly, if you decide to opt for a fixed rate loan, you can still switch to a
floating rate loan in the future and vice versa as and when rates go in your
favour and if you do decide to switch, you should take into account the cost
of doing so and the interest rate benefits of switching.
36
For a given interest rate, loan with a daily or monthly reducing balance is
better than an annual reducing balance loan. Interest rates vary depending
on the tenure of the loan, the amount of the loan and your personal profile.
3. Insurance covers (an added cost)
Also, many banks may insist on getting your home insured to safeguard
their interest. There are various kinds of insurance covers available for you.
Apart from getting the mandatory ones you should try to get insurance as
per your circumstances. You also have a choice of getting insured from
another company without any objection from your bank.
4. Other costs
The interest rates and EMIs are not the only cost factor. Rs. 1350/
documentation charges and 0.90% + service tax. Processing fees,
administration fees, valuation fee, legal fee, is to be paid when you apply for a
loan and other fees paid at closing.
Make sure you work out as to how much these other costs add up to. So even
though the interest rate may be lower, it usually adds up to being expensive. If
the EMIs may come out a lot more than what you can afford on a monthly
basis; try to redo the math with changes in the tenure and loan amount (if
possible).
5. Advance EMI
37
Advanced EMI is the number of equated monthly installments in the form
of post dated cheques, paid out in advance at the time of disbursement of
loan.
6. Document required
Most importantly, all deals and offers agreed upon are supported by relevant
papers. Self employed and salaried require different documents to support
the deal.
So make sure you always ask for a letter on the banks letterhead mentioning
the likes of, exact rate of interest, processing fees, pre-payment charges
along with interest-schedule.
Before signing the documents, make sure you recheck all terms and
conditions.
Do make sure you understand and agree with each of the clauses in the
documents. Do not sign any blank documents. Even if it takes you a few
hours to fill-up the form, please do so.
Do not leave anything for the executive to fill-up. It's always better to get a
legal opinion from someone on your loan papers. Do not under any
circumstance give any false information. This may amount to fraud and
could land you in trouble.
38
7. Penalties Once you have received the loan do your best to pay it back as
quickly as possible. But this early payment might invite a pre-payment
clause.
Banks make their money off the interest they charge and the sooner you pay
back a loan the less money you will have to pay in interest. When it comes
to Home loans, penalties are binding, like if you chose to pay up your entire
money before the tenure, a Pre-payment penalty is charged. So you should
know about such penalties beforehand to avoid future misunderstanding
between you and the bank.
8. Home loan glossary Confused in the Home Loan jargon? Our glossary
will help you in understanding the basic home loan related terms. Browse
through the glossary or search for a term through the menu to resolve any
doubts.

9. Acceptance Letter
Acceptance letter is the letter that a borrower or applicant provides on
reading the terms of the issue; and communicate his willingness to accept
the loan by way of an acceptance letter within a particular time frame which
39
varies between 1-3 months from the date of the sanction letter and also pay
the requisite administrative fee.
HOME LOAN IN INDIA
It is definitely one of the major things that you can board on in your
lifetime. The bad news is: however is that not everyone in this globe is like
40
you, loaded enough (financially, of course) to be able to build a house as
soon as he wants to.
Whether you are Non Resident Indian or Resident of India, and you are
thinking to start your journey of buying a new house, looking to move to a
new house, investing in property or are looking forward to refinance,
Consider answering these questions to yourself:
• Which type of home loan should I prefer?

Why take a Home Loan?
What's an average middle class Indian's most cherished dream? A date in
world trips in islands with Aishwarya Rai in complete solitude. This would
44
seem to be the answer from the maximum number of episodes of Kaun
Banega Crorepati (KBC), despite recently of course, when she has decided
to change her fortunes first with Abhishek!
Jokes apart, purchasing and moving into a dream house would generally
rank among the top three things on the wish list of most people. After all it’s
what been proved by Maslow’s Law of Hierarchy as well. That entire house
hunting every few years, grumpy landlords, killing rents would be a thing of
the past. Hey, you even get to use nails to hang your favorite paintings and
pictures. Don’t you???
Taking a home loan nowadays has become very simpler. The RBI has been
regularly slashing interest rates, with the result that housing finance loans
that came at an interest rate of 16.5% to 18% four years ago are now
available at 11.5% to 13% or lower. Each year the Finance Minister's
generosity during the Budget seems to be solely concentrated for the
housing sector and construction sector. The Budget 2000's allowed interest
payment up to Rs 1 lakh and principal payment of Rs 20,000 to be
exempted from income tax. To top it all, the Housing Finance Companies
(HFCs) are aggressively wooing customers. Now, when the sun shines, it’s
the best time to make hay. Isn’t it?

New RBI Directive for Home Loans
50
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has in the latest directive asked the Indian
banks to be more "fair and transparent" while signing their agreements with
the consumers. This has come following complaints from various consumer
sections regarding home loans.
• It has emphasized on the fact that while giving a home loan, the
banks should not tie their loans with their own prime lending rates
(PLR) which often results in pro-bank and against consumer interest.
• Households should get credit counseling before signing any loan
agreement. In such case, banks should give credit counseling to
customer before giving a loan. Any non-governmental organization
can also give independent credit counseling to small borrowers.
• Consumers often complain of not receiving benefits of falling interest
rates as banks tie their floating rate loans with its PLR and even when
rates fall, the banks kept the PLR unchanged. But when interest rates
are hiked, the banks increase the benchmark rate, thus making
customers pay a higher rate and consequently increase the number of
EMIs too. The RBI has asked the banks to mend rules for the same.
• Individual borrowers should ask for the exact tenure and EMI while
taking a fixed rate loan. The RBI has also resolved to look into all
consumer complaints if it is bought to the regulator's notice.
51
• The IRDA (insurance regulator) has powers to take action against
banks if a customer feels cheated while buying an insurance product.
On its regulatory role, the RBI is trying to maintain a balance
between the extent of freedom granted to the banks and the objectives
of governance.
• RBI has made it mandatory for all banks - including private and
foreign banks - to offer a passbook to their customers with the
address and telephone number of the nearest branch.
• Customers have often been harassed by banks' call centers where
there is no accountability of the query made. The "do not call"
registry has also been flouted by banks as customers are bombarded
with unnecessary product offerings. The RBI has directed the Indian
Banks' Association to come out with a single "do not call" registry or
when a customer adds his name to a single bank registry it should
then stop unsolicited calls from all banks.
• On rising credit card frauds and wrong statements given by the banks,
the RBI has asked the customers to approach the ombudsman to
redress their problems. This way the RBI feels would inculcate more
consumer friendly practices among Indian banks.

• SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS• TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS FOR WOULD BE
HOME LOAN BUYERS
SUGGETIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
63
There are some suggestions, which I would like to give the private
banks, which I noticed in my project. This are-
o Banks should improve the quality of their products (Specially Home
loan).
o Most of the private banks and public banks are much aggressive
about home loan than PNB. So, PNB should also be focus and
aggressive about its home loan products.
o In my project period I notice that many of the hidden costs are
accumulate with the services, which are not informed to the
customers at the first time, and then customers suffer many of the
problems. So, banks should disclose all the fee structure, terms &
conditions regarding the product before making sale.
o In the bank premises front office executives are not co-operative
with the customers. So, higher authority should keep control over
theses types of activities.
o Most the banks believe in large sales force than the quality sales
force, which are more competitive. So, banks should improve their
quality sales force, which include the competitive sales personnel.
Troubleshooting Tips for Would Be Home Buyers
64
Past few years have witnessed a paradigm shift in the scenario for home
loan seekers. However, things for the consumers were fairly good till mid-
2004. Property prices have been steady and the interest rates were at historic
lows.
Undoubtedly, the picture has much changed now. Real estate in India is
going through its own boom, with property prices going higher and higher
as there is no tomorrow. Also, there is no sign that this rise in underlying
property prices is going to slow down soon. This has widened the gap
between have and have not for a home loan consumer.
Though, there has been a great progress in the financial status of different
income groups but there are many other hassles along the way to add to the
woes of an interested home buyer.
With an increase in loan interest rates, it has been noticed that a consumer
gives away a major portion of his increased income as the down payment
and later as EMI. This is a story with every next typical consumer in a
metropolitan city. No wonder that the dream for owning a home is on the
verge of turning into a mirage for most middle class.
So what are the options left with a prospective home loan consumer?
• If you are planning to purchase a home for the purpose of your own
residence, then don't make your search a wild goose chase by trying
and wasting time in the market.
• If your dream house requires you to hunt a treasure to buy it, you may
consider a smaller property in the same area.
65
• But, if you are deciding to buy a house with the intention of selling it
for quick profits, then never fasten the process. Wait for the
overheated property market to cool. Meanwhile, work out your
budget and advantages before treating the property as an investment.
Let's view the top four problems faced by home loan consumers during
the pre-disbursement process as well as troubleshooting tips:
Problem I: Most times, the desired home loan amount is not available or if
available, then getting a fixed rate of interest is just like striving for
impossible. Moreover, there are a few financial institutions that provide the
home loan consumers with a promising interest rate.
- Get a promise that if you don't receive the home loan amount offered you
can press for a refund of your processing fee. Don't rely on words but take
it in writing or by mail.
Problem II: Generally, there is no guarantee that you will get your
processing fee back if the loan is not sanctioned or if the loan is sanctioned
then the individual does not want it.
-The situation seems a little complex unless promised in writing or in
advance.
Problem III: At times, loan amount gets restricted after being sanctioned
due to lower valuation of the property by the bank.
- You may ask your lender to get a valuation done before the sanction of the
loan so that this does not come as a surprise afterwards. Else, the bank will
evaluate it at one figure and you will be purchasing it at another. For that
66
reason, it is always recommend buying a property from a well known
builder.
Problem IV: Non availability of title documents and/ or NOCs in the
format desired by the bank. Or, problems with any other legal/ title
document.
- Most banks go through your legal documents with a discerning eye if they
are submitted along with a home loan application form. You are required to
check with the concerned builder/ society/ authority about the format of the
NOC that plays a critical role in the procedure. If they have a different
format, get that cleared from the bank to avoid messy disputes and
headaches later.
