MEANING OF FINANCE

Finance is the set of activities dealing with the management of funds. More specifically, it is the decision of
collection and use of funds. It is a branch of economics that studies the management of money and other
assets.
Finance is also the science and art of determining if the funds of an organization are being used properly.
Through financial analysis, companies and businesses can take decisions and corrective actions towards the
sources of income and the expenses and investments that need to be made in order to stay competitive.
Finance is the life blood of business. It flows in mostly from scale of goods and services. It flows out for
meeting various types of expenditure. The activating element in any business which may be on industrial or
commercial undertaking is the finance.
Business finance has been defined as those activities which have to do with the provision and management
of funds for the satisfactory conduct of a business. Business finance is defined as that business activity
which is concerned with the acquisition and conservation of capital funds in meeting the financial needs and
overall objectives of business enterprises.
So we can say business finance is mainly developed around three major objectives.
Firstly, to obtain an adequate supply of capital for the needs of the business,
Secondly, to conserve and increase the capital through better management,
Thirdly, to make profit from the use of funds this is an overall objective of a business enterprise.
Before industrial revolution, finance was not of much importance. The methods of production were simple.
For example, the artisan used to work in open small hut. He had simple tools mostly made by himself.
Labour at that time was more important than capital and finance did not pose any problem. Production in
those days was, therefore labour intensive.

MEANING OF BANK
Banking is one of the most important sectors of business and finance that assists the world of commerce to
keep on running. Without banks and the banking services that they provide, commerce and trade would
collapse and credit would become virtually extinct. As the decades progress many new concepts are being
introduced into banking. At their most basic, banks hold money on behalf of customers, which is payable to
the customer on demand, either by appearing at the bank for a withdrawal or by writing a check to a third
party. Banks use the money they hold to finance loans, which they make to businesses and individuals to pay
for operations, mortgages, education expenses, and any number of other things. Many banks also perform
other services for a fee; for instance they offer certified checks to customers guaranteeing payment to third
parties. In some countries they may provide investment and insurance services. With the exception of
Islamic banks, they pay interest on deposits and receive interest on their loans. Banks are regulated by the
laws and central banks of their home countries; normally they must receive a charter to engage in business.
Banks are usually organized as corporations.

EVOLUTION OF BANKING
Banking is an ancient business with its history dated back to the 13 th century. When the first bill of exchange
was used as money in the medieval trade. Banking in India as its origin as early has the Vedic period. During
the days of east India Company, it was the turn of the agency house to carry out the banking business. The
general bank of India was the first joint stock bank to be established in the year of 1886. The others that
followed are the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal Bank. In 1891 the first purely Indian Bank that is United
Commercial Bank came into being. The setting up of Punjab National Bank in 1894 followed it. In 1920,
three bank namely Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840), Bank of Madras (1843) were
amalgamated and a new bank, Imperial Bank of India was established. The Reserve Bank of India, which is
the Central bank, was created in 1935, with the passing Reserve Bank of India act in 1934. Later with the
passing of State Bank of India in 1955 the undertaking of Imperial Bank of India was taken over by newly
constituted State Bank of India. In the wake of Swadeshi Movement in 1905 no. of Bank with Indian
Management were established in the country namely Punjab National Bank Ltd. The Bank of Baroda (1908),

1969, 14 major Banks of the country were nationalized and on 15 th April 1980 six more Commercial Private
Banks were also taken over by the government of India. Banking Industry has achieved a tremendous

progress during the past few years; many Banks and Financial Institution have entered into the market and
have made a rapid growth towards achieving the ultimate object of attaining leadership in Banking Industry.

BANKING PROFILE:
The Indian Banking System can be broadly classified into:
1) Nationalized (Government Owned)
2) Private Banks
3) Specialized Banking Institutions
The RBI as a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and short coming in the system. Private
Banks has been fast on the uptake and are reorienting their strategies using the internet as the
medium.

BANKING SECTOR REFORMS:

A radical re-structuring of the economic system consisting of industrial deregulation. Liberalization
of policies relating to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Public Enterprise Reforms, of taxation
system, trade liberalization and financial sector has been initiated in 1992-93. Financial sector
reforms in the area of commercial banking, capital markets and non-banking finance companies have
been undertaken. Improving financial sounds and credibility of banks is a part of banking reforms
undertaken by the RBI, a regulatory and supervisory agency over commercial banks under the
Banking companies Regulation Act 1949. In the areas of capital markets of SEBI was set up in 1992
to protect the interest of the investors in the securities and to promote development and regulation of
security market. In regard to non-banking finance companies the RBi has issued several measures
aimed at encouraging disciplined NBFCs, which run on sound business principles. The economic
reforms also aimed at improved financial viability and institutional strengthening, to improve the

effective implementation of monetary policy, linkages among money anf foreign exchange markets
have been enforced.

THE ROLE OF BANKS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Commercial Banks are playing a crucial role in the economic development of the country. In
fact, without the development of commercial banking in 18 th and 19th centuries. In the modern
economy, banks considered not only merely as dealers in money but also as reservoirs of resources
necessary for the economic development.
Banks provide short-term loans which serve as a capital for industrial establishment. Banks
also create credit, which enables the industry and commerce to expand economic activities. Banks
are contributing very significantly for the expansion of industrialization. Expansion will provide
more funds for the entrepreneurs to start new industries, which results in more employment and
income generation. A very important service that banks render to the community is the creation of
demand deposits in exchange of debts of short-term and long-term securities. Banks promote capital
by means of pooling of savings from people. These are the important services rendered by the bank

FOUNDATION OF MODERN BANKING

After the nationalization of some big commercial banks in India, there has been an immense
growth in banking industry with the establishment of more number of banking offices. Today the banking
business has become very competitive. Various types of banks provide large number of services not only on
national but international ground as well. The growing trade and commerce has made banks to modernize
their operations in order to satisfy the customers. Indian banks have also felt the need for modernization of
their operations like their counterparts in western countries. This was very essential as well to deal with
extremely increased volume of business in an appropriate and efficient manner and to do effective business.

Modern banking institutions have sought to automation like introduction of computers and other equipments
as well as the wealth of information technology.
The major objective of modernizing banking system is to improve bank operations while maintaining
high level of standards in banking sector.
Banks are viewed as development agents instead of providers of credit to large industries and big business
companies. In India, the banks apart from providing credit to agriculture, trade industry and commerce are
offering a large number of services to the customers. They make payments, collects electricity and water
bills, telephone bills, take buy and sell decisions on behalf of their customers and so on.
Today more and more number of business functions is entrusted on banks. They provide their services to
labourers, petty wage earners, small traders, etc. With the appearance of modern banking system, the rural
credit system with the money lender nearly collapsed.
The modern banks have developed strategies to meet the requirements of common men in achieving
economic and social development.

NATIONALIZATION OF 14 MAJOR COMMERCIAL BANKS

In the history of commercial banking, the nationalization of the Imperial Bank of India was a great
achievement. In February 1969, the social control of commercial banks came into force. The government
made suitable organizational changes in order to implement the provisions of the Amended Act. The banks
were directed to grant loans to agriculture, small scale industries and self employment in an increasing
manner. The boards of managements of bank were reconstituted. Yet the industrialists who were on the
Board of management continued to exert their influence on the lending policies of the big banks. The
Reserve Bank of India started exercising its power to direct the banks when necessary to adopt new
regulations. In fact, the social control was in stage of infancy. The government felt that that the social control
was not sufficient in a planned economy. The government further said that under the private ownership,
social objectives cannot be achieved. Therefore on 19 th July 1969, the government announced the
nationalization of 14 major banks, whose deposits were not less than 50 crores, through an ordinance. The 14
banks controlled 72 percent of total scheduled bank deposits. The banks that were nationalized are as
follows:

1. The Central Bank of India, Ltd.

2. The Bank of India, Ltd.
3. The Punjab National Bank, Ltd
4. The Bank of Baroda, Ltd
5. The United Commercial Bank, Ltd.
6. Canara Bank, Ltd.
7. United Bank of India, Ltd.
8. Dena Bank, Ltd.

9. Syndicate Bank of India, Ltd.

10. The Union Bank of India, Ltd

11. Allahabad Bank, Ltd.

12. The Indian Bank, Ltd.
13. The Bank of Maharastra, Ltd.
14. The Indian Overseas Bank, Ltd.

Objectives of Nationalization
As stated in the Act, the objective of nationalization is to control the heights of the economy
and to meet gradually and enhance the needs of other development of the economy with respect to National
Policy and the objectives. Except this main objective, other specific objectives were:

Removal of the control of banks by a few persons

Provision of adequate credit for agriculture

Small scale industry and exports

Professional outlook to bank management

Encouragement of new classes of entrepreneurs

Provide adequate training to staff

The government said that nationalization is a major step in the process of public control over the

principal

institution. This would mobilize the peoples savings

and direct it towards productive purposes. After the nationalization the banks will be more focused on the
serving farmers, promoting agricultural production and developing rural sectors. Public ownership of
banking will utilize the credit facility towards speculative and other unproductive purposes. Nationalization
will also bring right atmosphere for the development of an adequate amount of professional management in
the field of banking.

Nationalization of six more banks in 1980

Continuing the policy of nationalization, in 1980 the government nationalized six more banks. They were the
Andhra Bank, the Corporation Bank, the New Bank of India, the Oriental Bank of Commerce, the Punjab and
Sind Bank and the Vijaya Bank. By nationalization of these banks, the government has been able to exercise
control over 91 percent of the resources of the entire banking system. Remaining 9 percent is held by foreign
banks and private sector banks.

Achievements :
After nationalization, the government introduced suitable administrative changes to implement the
objectives enshrined in the Act. The banks started diversifying lending policies. Government set up different
department to handle the proposals. Training centres were established to train the staff. Field officers were
recruited to make contact with the prospective customers. Since nationalization, the performance of banking
system is outstanding in a lot of respects.

RESERVE BANK OF INDIA

The RBI was established on 1st April 1935 under the reserve bank of India act, which was passed in the year
1934. The reserve bank of India is the central bank of our country. The RBI was started originally as a

INTRODUCTION TO LOANS

One of the primary functions of the commercial bank is lending. Through lending commercial banks meet
their objective of making profits. The deposits collected from the public cannot be kept idle. It has to be
utilized in order to derive benefits out of it. The bank collects deposits with the objective of lending and
makes profit out of the interest received and paid. Their main aim is to deal in money and provide for those
who need it. The banker performs the job of lending within the framework of statues governing the banking
business, the government policy and guidelines issued by the authorities of the country (RBI in India).The
basic objective of nationalization of commercial banks was to provide funds to the neglected sectors like
agriculture, tiny industries and other weaker sections of the society. Today nearly 40% of the total
commercial bank advances are the priority sectors. Greater part of the commercial bank funds are employed
in the form of loans and advances. Loans bring good money to the bank in the form of profit by charging
interest. Lending function of a commercial bank benefits the bank in the form of profit and the one who
takes loans enjoy the benefit of money required for their activities. The wheels of industry cannot run
without the bank advances. The bank needs to assess the condition of industry or trade or any business
enterprise while making advances.

SHORT TERMS LOANS FINANCED BY COMMERCIAL BANKS

Commercial banks are the most important source of short-term capital. The major portion of working capital
loans are provided by commercial banks. They provide a wide variety of loans tailored to meet the specific
requirements of a concern. The different forms in which the banks normally provide loans and advances are
loans and advances are loans, cash credit, overdrafts, purchasing and discounting of bills.
LOANS:
When a bank makes an advance in lump-sum against some security it is called a loan. Here, a specified
amount is sanctioned by the bank to the customers. The loan amount so sanctioned is paid to the borrower
either in cash or by credit to his account. A certain amount of interest has to be paid by the borrower for the
loan that has to be borrowed. A loan can be repaid in lump-sum or in installements. Commercial banks
generally provide short term loans up to one year for meeting the working capital requirements. But these
days, term loans exceeding one year are also provided by banks. The term loans may be either medium term
or long term loans.

TERM FINANCING BY COMMERCIAL BANKS

Commercial banks normally provided short term financial assistance to industrial sector. The assistance
provided by them provided by them fulfilled the working capital requirement of the industrial enterprises. A
massive investment in industries during second plan and after changed the priority of bank lending. The
industrial required high funds for long term financing. The financial institutions failed to meet the increasing
demands of the industries. Then the entry of commercial banks came into existence and filled the gap

between the demand and supply of long term requirements. The banks started giving term loans to meet the
long term needs of the industry. The refinance scheme of IDBI encouraged more term lending by
commercial banks. The commercial banks are assisting industrial units by granting term loans, subscribing to
shares and debentures of corporate units and underwriting securities issued of these companies.

4)

Industries (other than small scale):-

To establishing a new industrial unit or for expansion of the existing unit or for modernization, a

detailed

project feasibility report should be obtained. Industrial concerns are usually limited companies or public
sector undertakings, although individuals or partnerships owning small and medium industries cannot be
riled out. An industrial concern may be engaged in more than one industrial activity and may also be

engaged in other activities such as trade, import, export etc. if the borrower is engaged in more than one type
of activity for which finance is required. Credit facilities may be extended by way of cash credit/bills
discounting for working capital and by way of term loans for acquiring capital assets namely, construction of

undesirable purposes.
6)

International trade:-

Manual of foreign exchange published by international banking division, central office explains in detail
various types of import and export transaction together with exchange control requirement to be observed by
bank officials as also the systems and procedures prescribed for handling such transaction at branch level.
We will see in brief, credit facilities usually extended to the exporter/importer customers.
Import trade
Finance for import trade could be either fund based or non-fund based or both. The non-fund based credit
facility is in the form of letters of credit. Since such letters of credit (L/C) contain an undertaking by the
bank to pay against presentation documents conforming to the terms and conditions stipulated in the letter of
credit, opening a letter of credit involves a credit decision for which purpose, the proposal has to be
processed in the same manner as it would be, if the proposal were for grant of an advance for an equal
amount. Since the bank relies on goods being imported under letter of credit as a security for payment of
relative bill, the marketability of such goods, taking into account the licensing conditions should also be
considered.

a)

The import of goods is controlled by government of India through import trade control regulation.
The import licenses are issued in 2 copies-customer copy is for the purpose of clearing the imported

OVERVIEW
United Bank of India (UBI) is one of the 14 major banks which were nationalised on July 19, 1969. Its
predecessor the United Bank of India Ltd., was formed in 1950 with the amalgamation of four banks viz.
Comilla Banking Corporation Ltd. (1914), Bengal Central Bank Ltd. (1918), Comilla Union Bank Ltd.
(1922) and Hooghly Bank Ltd. (1932) (which were established in the years indicated in brackets after the
names). The origin of the Bank thus goes back as far as 1914. As against 174 branches, Rs. 147 crores of
deposits and Rs. 112 crores of advances at the time of nationalisation in July, 1969, today the Bank has 1484
branches, over Rs. 54,536 crores of deposits and Rs. 35,727 crores of gross advances as on 31-03-09.
Presently the Bank has a three-tier organisational set-up consisting of the Head Office, 28 Regional Offices
and 1510 branches.
After nationalisation, the Bank expanded its branch network in a big way and actively participated in the
developmental activities, particularly in the rural and semi-urban areas in conformity with the objectives of
nationalisation. In recognition of the role played by the Bank, it was designated as Lead Bank in several
districts and at present it is the Lead Bank in 30 districts in the States of West Bengal, Assam, Manipur and
Tripura. The Bank is also the Convener of the State Level Bankers' Committees (SLBC) for the States of
West Bengal and Tripura.

UBI played a significant role in the spread of banking services in different parts of the country, more
particularly in Eastern and North-Eastern India. UBI has sponsored 4 Regional Rural Banks (RRB) one
each in West Bengal, Assam, Manipur and Tripura. These four RRBs together have over 1000 branches.
United Bank of India has contributed 35% of the share capital/ additional capital to all the four RRBs in
four different states. In its efforts to provide banking services to the people living in the not easily
accessible areas of the Sunderban in West Bengal, UBI had established two floating mobile branches on
motor launches which moved from island to island on different days of the week. The floating mobile
branches were discontinued with the opening of full-fledged branches at the centres which were being
served by the floating mobile branches. UBI is also known as the 'Tea Bank' because of its age-old
association with the financing of tea gardens. It has been the largest lender to the tea industry.

The Bank has three full fledged Overseas Branches one each at Kolkata, New Delhi and Mumbai with fully
equipped dealing room and SWIFT terminal . The operations of 500 branches have been computerised either
fully or partially and Electronic Fund Transfer System came to be implemented in the Bank's branches at
Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. The Bank has ATMs all over the country and having Cash Tree
arrangement with 11 other Banks.
