OVERVIEW OF BANKING
CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW OF BANKING
1.1INTRODUCTION TO BANK
A bank has been described as an institution engaged in accepting deposits
and granting loans. It is the institution which deals in money and credit. It
can also be described as an institution which borrows idle resources, makes
fund available to those who need it and helps in cheap remittance of money

from one place to another. In the modern time term bank is used in wider
term. Now it does not refer only to particular place of lending and depositing
money but it also acts as an agent which looks after the various financial
problems of its customers.
1.2 HISTORY OF BANKS:
The banking system in India is based on British banking company which is
largely branch banking. Commercial banks in India were started during the
latter half of 19th century Bank of Bengal, Bank of Bombay and Bank of
Madras were later amalgamated to form one bank called as Imperial bank of
India under the Imperial bank of India Act 1920. The Imperial bank carried
with business of commercial bank manages the public debt office of central
and state government. The second half of 19th century saw establishment of
Bank of Baroda, Allahabad bank, and Punjab National Bank. These banks
were set up by merchants and traders to combined trading with banking.
These led to the series if failures of banks. The strengthening of banking
system took place after the establishment of Reserve Bank of India, 1939 asis empowers to regulate the banking money, inspection of mergers and
acquisition in terms of Banking Companies Act 1949 which later came to be
known as Banking Regulation Act 1949.
1.3 FUNCTIONS OF BANKS
Though borrowing and lending constitute the main functions of banking, yet
they are not only functions of commercial banks. Commercial banks areinvolved in diversified activities and perform varieties of function. The
functions of a modern bank are classified under the following heads:
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project

CHART: FUNCTION OF BANKS
1.4 BANKING PRODUCTS
Banks in India have traditionally offered mass banking products. Mostcommon deposit products being Savings Bank, Current Account, Term
deposit Account and lending products being Cash Credit and Term Loans.
Due to Reserve Bank of India guidelines, Banks have had little to do besides
accepting deposits at rates fixed by Reserve Bank of India and lend amount
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
12/82
arrived by the formula stipulated by Reserve Bank of India at rates
prescribed by the latter. PLR (Prime lending rate) was the benchmark for
interest on the lending products. But PLR itself was, more often than not,
dictated by RBI. Further, remittance products were limited to issuance of
Drafts, Telegraphic Transfers, and Bankers Cheque and Internal transfer of
funds.
In view of several developments in the 1990s, the entire banking products
structure has undergone a major change. As part of the economic reforms,
banking industry has been deregulated and made competitive. New players
have added to the competition. IT revolution has made it possible to provide
ease and flexibility in operations to customers. Rapid strides in information
technology have, in fact, redefined the role and structure of banking in India.
Further, due to exposure to global trends after Information explosion led by
Internet, customers - both Individuals and Corporate - are now demanding
better services with more products from their banks. Financial market has
turned into a buyer's market. Banks are also changing with time and aretrying to become one-stop financial supermarkets.
A few foreign & private sector banks have already introduced customized
banking products like Investment Advisory Services, SGL II accounts,
Photo-credit cards, Cash Management services, Investment products and
Tax Advisory services. A few banks have gone in to market mutual fund
schemes. Eventually, the Banks plan to market bonds and debentures, whenallowed. Insurance peddling by Banks will be a reality soon. The recent
Credit Policy of RBI announced on 27.4.2000 has further facilitated the
entry of banks in this sector. Banks also offer advisory services termed as
'private banking' - to "high relationship - value" clients.

1.5 INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL SERVICES

1990. During the late seventies & eighties, the Indian financial services
industry was dominated by commercial banks and other financial institution

14/82
liberalization has brought in a complete transformation in the Indian
financial services industry.
The term Financial Services in a broad sense means mobilizing and
allocating savings. Thus it includes all activities involved in the
transformation of savings into investment. The financial service can also
be called financial intermediation. Financial intermediation is a process by

available to all those who are in need of it and particularly to corporate
customers. Thus, financial service sector is a key area and it is very vital for
industrial developments. A well developed financial services industry is
absolutely necessary to mobilize the savings and to allocate them to various
investable channels and thereby to promote industrial development in a
country. Financial services, through network of elements such as financial
institution, financial markets and financial instruments, serve the needs of

1.10 CAUSES OF FINANCIAL INNOVATION
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
20/82
Financial intermediaries have to perform the task of financial innovation to
meet the dynamically changing needs of the economy. There is a dire
necessity for the financial intermediaries to go for innovation due to
following reasons:
y Low profitability: The profitability of the major financialintermediary, namely banks has been very much affected in recent
times. There is a decline in the profitability of traditional banking
products. So, they have compelled to seek out new products which
may fetch high returns.
y Keen competition: The entry of many financial intermediaries in thefinancial sector market has led to severe competition among
themselves. This keen competition has paved the way for the entry of
varied nature of innovative financial products so as to meet the varied
requirements of the investors.
y Economic liberalization: Reform of the financial sector constitutesthe most important component of Indias programme towardseconomic liberalization. The recent economic liberalization measures
have opened the door to foreign competitors to enter into our domestic
market. Deregulation in the form of elimination of exchange controls
and interest rate ceilings have made the market more competitive.
Innovation has become a must for survival.
y Improved communication technology: The communicationtechnology has become so advanced that even the worlds issuers can
be linked with the investors in the global financial market without any
difficulty by means of offering so many options and opportunities.
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
21/82
Hence, innovative products are brought into the domestic market in no
time.
y Customer service: Nowadays, the customers expectations are verygreat. They want newer products at lower cost or at lower credit risk
to replace the existing ones. To meet this increased customer
sophistication, the financial intermediaries are constantly undertaking
research in order to invent a new product which may suit to the
requirement of the investing public. Innovations thus help them in
soliciting new business.
yGlobal impact: Many of the providers and users of capital havechanged their roles all over the world. Financial intermediaries have
come out of their traditional approach and they are ready to assume
more credit risks. As a consequence, many innovations have taken
place in the global financial sector which has its own impact on the
domestic sector also.
y Investor awareness: With a growing awareness amongst theinvesting public, there has been a distinct shift from investing the
savings in physical assets like gold, silver, land etc. to financial assets
like shares, debentures, mutual funds etc. To meet the growing
awareness of the public, innovation has become the need of the hour.
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
22/82
1.11 PRESENT SCENARIO OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
y Conservatism to dynamism:At present, the financial system in India is in a process of rapid
transformation, particularly after the introduction of reforms in the
financial sector. The main objective of the financial sector reforms is
to promote an efficient, competitive and diversified financial system
in the country. This is essential to raise the allocative efficiency of
available savings and to promote the accelerated growth of the
economy as a whole. The emergence of various financial institution
and regulatory bodies has transformed the financial services sector
from being a conservative industry to a very dynamic one.
y Emergence of Primary Equity Market: The capital markets have become a popular source of raising finance. The aggregate funds
raised by the industries have gone from Rs. 5976 crore in 1991-92 to
Rs. 32382 crore in 2006-07. Thus the primary market has emerged as
an important vehicle to channelize the savings of the individuals andcorporates for productive purposes and thus to promote the industrial
& economic growth of our nation.
y Concept of Credit Rating: The investment decisions of the investorshave been based on factors like name recognition of the company,
reputation of promoters etc. now, grading from an independent agency
would help the investor in his portfolio management and thus, equity
grading is going to play a significant role in investment decision
making.
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
23/82
Now it is mandatory for non-banking financial companies to get
credit rating for their debt instruments. The major credit rating
agencies functioning in India are:
i. Credit Rating Information Services of India Ltd.ii. Credit Analysis and Research Ltd.
iii. Investment Information and Credit Rating Agency.iv. Duff Phelps Credit Rating Pvt. Ltd.
y Process of Globalization: The process of globalization ha paved theway for the entry of innovative financial products into our country.
The government is very keen in removing all obstacles that stand inthe way of inflow of foreign capital. India is likely to enter the full
convertibility era soon. Hence, there is every possibility of
introduction of more and more innovative financial services in our
country.
y Process of Liberalization: The government of India has initiatedmany steps to reform the financial services industry. The Government
has already switched over to free pricing of issues from pricing issues
by the Controller of capital issues. The interest rates have been
deregulated. The private sector has been permitted to participate in
banking and mutual funds and the public sector undertakings are
being privatized. The financial service industry in India has to play a
positive and dynamic role in the years5 India has to play a positive
and dynamic role in the years to come by offering many innovative
products to suit to the varied requirements of the millions of
prospective investors spread throughout the country.

A branch, banking center or financial center is a retail location where a bank,
credit union, or other financial institution offers a wide array of face-to-face
and automated services to its customers.
In the period from 1100-1300 banking started to expand across Europe and
banks began opening branches in remote, foreign locations to support
international trade. Historically, branches were housed in imposing
buildings, often in a neo-classical architecture style. Today, branches may
also take the form of smaller offices within a larger complex, such as a
shopping mall.
Traditionally, the branch was the only channel of access to a financial
institutions services. Services provided by a branch include cash
withdrawals and deposits from a demand account with a bank teller,
financial advice through a specialist, safe deposit box rentals, bureau de
change, insurance sales, etc. As of the early 21st
Century, features such as
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), telephone and online banking, allow
customers to bank from remote locations and after business hours. This has
caused financial institution to reduce their branch business hours and to
merge smaller branches into larger ones. They converted some into mini-
branches with only ATMs for cash withdrawal and depositing; computer
terminals for online banking and cheque depositing machines.
Some financial institutions, to show a friendlier image, offer a boutique or
coffee house-like environment in their branches, with sit-down counters,
refreshments, interactive displays. Some branches also have drive-through
teller windows or ATMs.

2.2 MOBILE BANKING
Mobile banking also known as M-Banking, SMS Banking is a term used for
performing balance checks, account transactions, payment etc. Over the last
few years, the mobile and wireless market has been one of the fastest
growing markets in the world and it is still growing at a rapid pace. With
mobile technology, banks can offer services to their customers such as doing
funds transfer while travelling, receiving online updates of stock price or
even performing stock trading while being stuck in traffic.
A specific sequence of SMS messages will enable the system to verify if the
client has sufficient funds in his or her wallet and authorize a deposit or
withdrawal transaction at the agent.
Many believe that mobile users have just started to fully utilize the data
capabilities in their mobile phones. In Asian countries like India, China,
where mobile infrastructure is comparatively better than the fixed-line
infrastructure, and in European countries, where mobile phone penetration is
very high, mobile banking is likely to appeal even more.

withdrawals at cash machine. This service helps the ATM customer to
withdraw money even when the banks are closed. This can be done by

are available from a manually operated branch. The customer can, not only
withdraw cash, but also deposit money, get account statements, enable
transfer of funds etc. The customer who wants to deposit cash should put the
notes in the pouch available at the ATM counter close it, seal it by signing &
put it in the slot provided for this purpose. The bank staff will collect the
packet when they come for loading cash in the machine & credit the amount
to the account. However, the customer has to sign an undertaking with the
bank that he would not dispute on the amount credited. ATM has gained
prominence as a delivery channel for banking transactions in India. Now
customers will not be levied any fee on cash withdrawals using ATM &
debit cards issued by other banks. This will in turn increase usage of ATMs
in India. ATM allows customers:

and public enterprises etc. that have numerous daily banking
transactions. Individuals generally do not open this account. Current

the purpose of savings but only for convenience of business hence
they are non-interest bearing accounts. In a current account, a
customer can deposit & withdraw any amount of money any number
of times, as long as he has funds to his credit.

balances maintained in Current Accounts. However, in case of death
of the account holder his legal heirs are paid interest at the rates
applicable to Savings bank deposit from the date of death till the date
of settlement. Because of the large number of transactions in the
account and volatile nature of balances maintained, banks usually levy
certain service charges for opening a Current Account.
2) Fixed Deposits:
Bank Fixed Deposits are also known as Term Deposits. In a Fixed
Deposit Account, a certain sum of money is deposited in the bank for
a specified time period with a fixed rate of interest. The rate of interest
for Bank Fixed Deposits depends on the maturity period. It is higher
in case of longer maturity period. There is great flexibility in maturity period & it ranges from 15 days to 5 years. The interest can be
compounded quarterly, half-yearly or annually and varies from bank
to bank. Loan facility is available against bank fixed deposits upto 75-

banks and comparatively higher in case of private banks. Savings
Bank Account can now be accessed through ATMs & internet.
4) Recurring Deposit Account:
Under recurring deposit account, a specific amount is invested in bank
on monthly basis for a fixed rate of return. The deposit has a fixed
tenure, at the end of which the principal sum as well as the interest
earned during that period is returned to the investor. Recurring Bank
Account provides the element of compulsion to save at high rates of

those savings any time. Loan/ Overdraft facility is also available
against Recurring Bank Deposits.
The deposit for RD account is paid in monthly installments and each
subsequent monthly installment has to be made before the end of the
month and is equal to the first deposit. In case of default in payment,
penalty is levied for the delayed deposit.
5) Demat account:
Some banks are depository participants. These banks offer demat
accounts to their corporate clients. Demat account is just like a bank
account where actual money is replaced by shares. Just as a bank
account is required if we want to save money or make cheque
payments, we need to open a demat account in order to buy or sell
shares. A Demat Account holds portfolio of shares in electronic form
and obviates the need to hold shares in physical form. The account
offers a secure and convenient way to keep track of shares and
investment without the hassle of handling physical documents that get
mutilated or lost in transit. The Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) mandates a demat account for share trading involving
more than 500 countries.
Benefits of Demat Account
y Protection against loss, theft, mutilation etcy Transfer of shares immediatelyy Shorter settlement cyclesy Protection against bad deliveries.

6) Safe-Deposit Lockers:
Safe deposit locker is a facility provided by banks to their customers
to keep their valuables like jewellery, title deeds etc. Safe deposit
locker is a steel cabinet having multiple cubicles. The safe deposit
locker is kept inside the safe room and can be accessed only with the
permission of the bank officials. A customer who is in need of a
locker has to approach the bank. Customer has to mention a password
in the application form for identification purpose when he comes for
operating the locker. The customer has to remit annual rent for using
the locker facility. The customer has full privacy in operating the
locker.
As per RBI guidelines, the place where the locker is kept should be
segregated from the place where cash and valuables are stored using
iron grill. When the customer wants to open the locker, he has to
identify himself by telling the password and sign in a register noting
the date and time of opening the locker which will be countersigned
by the bank officials. The agreement of locker is a contract of
bailment and the bank can terminate the agreement and demand the
customer to vacate locker if any of the terms and conditions in the
agreement are violated or the annual rent is not remitted for a long
period. At present all the banks are having safe deposit locker facility.

3.2 CREDIT CARDS:
Credit cards are innovative ones in the line of financial services offered by
commercial banks. Credit card culture is a old hat in the western countries.
In India, it is relatively a new concept that is fast catching on. Since the
plastic money has today become as good as legal tender more people are
using them in their day-to-day activities. A credit card is a card or
mechanism which enables cardholders to purchase goods, travel and dine in
a hotel without making immediate payments. It is a convenience of extended
credit without formality. Credit cards can be classified as follows:
CHART: TYPES OF CREDIT CARDS
s
OLD CREDIT CARDS NEW CREDIT CARDS
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
41/82
Old types of Credit Cards:
1) Credit Card:
It is a normal card whereby a holder is able to purchase without
having to pay cash immediately. Generally, a limit is set to the amount
of money a cardholder can spend a month using the card. At the end
of every month, the holder has to pay a percentage of outstanding.
Interest is charged for the outstanding amount which varies from 30 to
36 per cent per annum. An average consumer prefers this type of card
for his personal purchase.
2) Charge Card:
A charge card is intended to serve as a convenient means of payment
for goods purchased at Member Establishments rather than a credit
facility. Instead of paying cash or cheque every time the credit card
holder makes a purchase, this facility gives a consolidated bill for a
specified period, usually one month. There are no interest charges andno spending limits either. The charge card is useful during business
trips and for entertainment expenses which are usually borne by the
company. Andhra Bank card, BOB cards, Can card, Diners Club card
etc. belong to this category.
3) In-Store Card:
The in-store cards are issued by retailers or companies. These cards
have currency only at the issuers outlets for purchasing products of
the issuer company. Payment can be on monthly or extended credit
basis. For extended credit facility interest is charged. In India, such
cards are normally issued by Five Star Hotels, resorts and big hotels.
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
42/82
NEW TYPES OF CREDIT CARDS
1) Corporate Credit Cards:
Corporate cards are issued to private and public limited companies
and public sector units. Depending upon the requirements of each
company, operative Add-on cards will be issued to the persons
authorized by the company. The name of the company will be
embossed on Add-on cardholder. The transactions made by Add-on
cardholders are billed to the main card and debits are made to the
Companys Account.
2) Business Card:
A business card is similar to a corporate card.it is meant for the use of
proprietary concerns, firms, firms of Chartered Accountants etc. This
card helps to avail of certain facilities for reimbursement and makes
their business trip convenient.
3) Smart Card:
It is a new generation card. When a transaction is made using the card,the value is debited and the balance comes down automatically. Once
the monetary value comes down to nil, the balance is to be restored all
over again for the card to become operational. The primary feature of
smart card is security. It prevents card related frauds & crimes.
4) Debit Cards:
Debit card is popularly known as ATM card on the move. The debit
card gives the freedom to access savings or current account through
ATMs at merchant locations. Debit cards are also issued independent
of ATM in which case the card is presented to the merchant
establishment at the time of purchase as in a case of credit card.
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
43/82
However, the account of the card holder will be debited instantly
when the charge slip is presented by the merchant establishment
instead of the card holder remitting the money as is being done in the
case of credit card. Therefore, the card holder has to keep sufficient
balance in his account before he uses the card. The debit card does
have a daily limit which could be somewhere around Rs 15000 at
ATMs and Rs 10000 at merchant locations. This again is subject to
the balance available in the account.
5) ATM Card:
An ATM (Automated Teller Machine) card is useful to a card holder
as it helps him to withdraw cash from banks even when they are
closed. This can be done by inserting the card in the ATM installed at
various bank location.
6) Virtual Card:
A virtual card is a card that can be generated by anybody at any time
provided he has already registered his name in the Banks website.
One can also set monetary limits for each card, usually limited to the
value of the item he intends to purchase and the value should be
limited to his bank balance or the credit limit. This completely
prevents misuse. It is a kind of facility offered to existing cardholders
at free of cost.

3.3 LOANS
It is an arrangement by which a bank advance loans against any security like
jewels, shares or debentures or insurance policy or personal security of the
borrower. The interest is payable on the entire loan amount as decided by the
bank. Loans can be classified as follows:
CHART: VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
45/82
1) Personal loans:
The personal loans are granted to any customer or the non-custome if
the bank is satisfied with the repayment capacity of the borrower. The
borrower should have a steady income. Installment can be paid by
depositing post dated cheques, authorization to debit the amount to the
borrowers savings or current account, authorization to transfer
interest on term deposit to the loan account, authorization to deduct
the installment from the salary by the employer and remit to the bank
etc. The interest varies from bank to bank. Normally banks allow 12
months to 60 months for repayment.
Banks also charge time processing fee ranging from 1 to 3 percent per
annum. Personal loans are generally unsecured because in most cases
there is no primary security. Therefore, many banks demand collateral
security in the form of landed property, gold ornaments, third party
guarantee etc. Some banks instead of third party guarantee insist that
another person should join as co-obligant. Many banks prefer co-obligant as a guarantor because a co-obligant signs the original loan
documents along with the borrower & therefore has a joint liability.
The documentation is quite simple because there will be only a
promissory note.
2) Housing Loans:
Housing loans are given as direct loans and indirect loans. Directloans are those loans given to the individuals or group of individuals
including co-operative societies. The indirect loans are the term loans
granted to housing finance institution, housing boards etc primarily

for personal or professional use. Bank finance is also available for
purchase of used cars less than 3 years old. Each bank has formulated
their own schemes. Vehicle finance has now become one of the highly
profitable area and therefore banks and other financial institutions are
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
48/82
competing with each other for attracting the customers, even by
offering some concessions. As a result, the margin, interest rate &
eligibility criteria differ from one bank to the other. The loans are to
be repaid in 36 to 60 equated monthly instalments. The maximum
amount of loan is limited to 3 times of net income annual salary
subject to a maximum of Rs 10 lakh.
Security:

5) Mortgage Loans:

finance for acquisition of real estate against the security of the real
estate purchased out of the loan. The borrower executes a mortgage
deed which registers a lien on the property in favour of the lender. The
title will be re-transferred when the borrower repays the loan in full
with interest. Banks provide loan/overdraft facility against mortgage
of property at low rate of interest to people engaged in trade,
commerce and business and also to professionals and self employed,
partnership firms, companies, NRIs and individuals with high net

Investment is the employment of funds with the aim of getting return on it. It
is the commitment of funds which have been saved from current
consumption with the hope that some benefits will receive in future. Thus, it
is a reward for waiting for money. Savings of the people are invested in
assets depending on their risk and return. Investment avenues are the outlets
of funds. In India, investment alternatives are continuously increasing along
with new developments in the financial market. An investor can himself
select the best avenue after studying the merits and demerits of different
avenues. Even financial advertising, newspapers supplements on financial
matters and investment journals offer guidance to investors in the selection
of suitable investment avenues.

some years. Such properties include buildings, commercial premises,
industrial land, plantations, farmhouses, agricultural land etc. They

INNOVATIVE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES

A merchant banker is a financial intermediary who helps to transfer
capital from those who possess it to those who need it. Merchant
banking includes a wide range of activities such as management of
customer securities, portfolio management, project counseling and
appraisal, underwriting of shares and debentures, loan syndication,
acting as banker for the refund orders, handling interest and dividend
warrants etc. Thus, a merchant banker renders a host of services to
corporate and thus promotes industrial development in the country.
2) Loan Syndication:
This is more or less similar to consortium financing. But, this work is
taken up by the merchant banker as a lead manager. It refers to a loan
arranged by a bank called lead manager for a borrower who is usually
a large corporate customer or a Government Department. The other
banks who are willing to lend can participate in the loan by
contributing an amount suitable to their own lending policies. Since a
single bank cannot provide such a huge sum of loan, a number of
banks join together and form a syndicate.
3) Leasing:
A lease is an agreement which a company or a firm acquires a right to
make use of capital asset like machinery, on payment of a prescribed
8/6/2019 49763071 Banking Project
55/82
fee called rental charges. The lessee cannot acquire any ownership to
the asset, but he can use it and have full control over it. He is expected
to pay for all maintenance charges and repairing and operating cost. In
countries like the U.S.A., the U.K. and Japan equipment leasing is very
popular and nearly 25% of plant and equipment is being financed by
leasing companies. In India also, many financial companies have
started equipment leasing business by forming subsidiary companies.
4) Mutual Funds:
A mutual fund refers to a fund raised by a financial service company
by pooling the savings of the public. It is invested in a diversified
portfolio with a view to spreading and minimizing risk. The fund

returns, high liquidity and better capital appreciation in the long run.

by a financial service company. In other words, it is an arrangement
under which a financial intermediary assumes the credit risk in the
collection of book debts for its clients. The entire responsibility of
collecting the book debts passes on to the factor. His services can be
compared to del credre agent who undertakes to collect debts. But, a
factor provides credit information, collects debts, monitors the salesledger and provides finance against debts. Thus, he provides a number
of services apart from financing.

currency takes place at a specified future date for a specified
price. It may have a fixed maturity for, e.g., 31st
May or a

May. There is an
obligation to honour this contract at any cost, failing which,
there will be some penalty. Forward contracts are permitted

the option has a right to buy or sell a fixed amount of currency
against another currency at a fixed rate on a future date
according to his option. There is no obligation to buy or sell,
but namely call options and put options. Under call options, the
customer has an option to buy and it is the option to sell under
put option. Option trading would lead to speculation and hence
there are much restrictions in India.
iii. Futures:
It is a contract wherein there is a agreement to buy or sell a
stated quantity of foreign currency at a future date at a price
agreed to between the parties on the stated exchange. Unlike
options, there is an obligation to buy or sell foreign exchange
on a future date at a specified rate. It can be dealt only in a
stock exchange.
iv. Swaps:
A swap refers to transaction wherein a financial intermediary
buys and sells a specified foreign currency simultaneously for
different maturity dates-say, for instance, purchase of spot and
sale of forward or vice versa with different maturities. Thus,
swaps would result in simultaneous buying and selling of the
same foreign currency of the same value for different
maturities to eliminate exposure of risk. It can also be used as a
toll to enter arbitrage operations, if any, between two countries.

CONCLUSION
The project of Financial Services of Banks was undertaken at ICICI Bank
Ltd. Working under this project I learned various services in detail which
banks generally follow.
It also helped in gaining knowledge about different concepts provided under
different services .
The Financial Services of the Banks has become very vital in the smooth
operation of the banking activities. The Project work has certainly enriched
the knowledge about the effective management of the various services in
Banking Sector.
Lastly as according to data collection we conclude that given findings and
suggestions need to be considered which can prove to be effective to the
Banks.
