ORIGION OF BANKING

The first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world, and were
probably established sometime during the 3rd millennium B.C. Banks probably predated the
invention of money. Deposits initially consisted of grain and later other goods including cattle,
agricultural implements, and eventually precious metals such as gold, in the form of easy-to-
carry compressed plates. Temples and palaces were the safest places to store gold as they were
constantly attended and well built. As sacred places, temples presented an extra deterrent to
would-be thieves.

There are extant records of loans from the 18th century BC in Babylon that were made by
temple priest’s monks to merchants. By the time of Hammurabi's Code, banking was well
enough developed to justify the promulgation of laws governing banking operations.

Ancient Greece holds further evidence of banking. Greek temples, as well as private and
civic entities, conducted financial transactions such as loans, deposits, currency exchange, and
validation of coinage. There is evidence too of credit, whereby in return for a payment from a
client, a moneylender in one Greek port would write a credit note for the client who could "cash"
the note in another city, saving the client the danger of carting coinage with him on his journey.

Pythius, who operated as a merchant banker throughout Asia Minor at the beginning of
the 5th century B.C., is the first individual banker of whom we have records. Many of the early
bankers in Greek city-states were “metics” or foreign residents. Around 371 B.C., Pasion, a
slave, became the wealthiest and most famous Greek banker, gaining his freedom and Athenian
citizenship in the process.

The fourth century B.C. saw increased use of credit-based banking in the Mediterranean
world. In Egypt, from early times, grain had been used as a form of money in addition to
precious metals, and state granaries functioned as banks.

When Egypt fell under the rule of a Greek dynasty, the Ptolemies (330-323 B.C.), the
numerous scattered government granaries were transformed into a network of grain banks,
centralized in Alexandria where the main accounts from all the state granary banks were

1|Page
recorded. This banking network functioned as a trade credit system in which payments were
effected by transfer from one account to another without money passing.

In the late third century B.C., the barren Aegean island of Delos, known for its
magnificent harbor and famous temple of Apollo, became a prominent banking center. As in
Egypt, cash transactions were replaced by real credit receipts and payments were made based on
simple instructions with accounts kept for each client. With the defeat of its main rivals,
Carthage and Corinth, by the Romans, the importance of Delos increased. Consequently it was
natural that the bank of Delos should become the model most closely imitated by the banks of
Rome.

Ancient Rome perfected the administrative aspect of banking and saw greater regulation
of financial institutions and financial practices. Charging interest on loans and paying interest on
deposits became more highly developed and competitive. The development of Roman banks was
limited, however, by the Roman preference for cash transactions. During the reign of the Roman
emperor Gallienus (260-268 CE), there was a temporary breakdown of the Roman banking
system after the banks rejected the flakes of copper produced by his mints. With the ascent of
Christianity, banking became subject to additional restrictions, as the charging of interest was
seen as immoral. After the fall of Rome, banking was abandoned in Western Europe and did not
revive until the time of the crusades. Jews took a different view of the matter The Torah and later
sections of the Hebrew Bible criticize interest-taking, but interpretations of the Biblical
prohibition vary. One common understanding is that Jews are forbidden to charge interest upon
loans made to other Jews, but allowed to charge interest on transactions with non-Jews, or
Gentiles.

SCOPE OF BANKING SECTOR

Banking business has a history of over 200 years. From the times of the Bank of Bengal
(1806) the sector has been witnessing qualitative and quantitative changes. Main players during
the pre-independence period were Credit Lyonnais, Allahabad Bank, Punjab National Bank and
Bank of India. With 1935 regulation the Reserve Bank of India was proclaimed the Central Bank
of India and was vested with controlling powers over the commercial banks.

2|Page
The drastic development taken place during the first 25 years since independence was
Nationalization of many private banks. With this, the central government became major policy
maker for these nationalized banks

With economic liberalization measures many private and foreign banking companies were
allowed to operate in the country. Favourable economic climate and a variety of other factors
such as demand for wide range of financial products from various sections of the society led to
mutually beneficial growth to the banking sector and economic growth process. This was
coincided by technology development in the banking operations. Today most of the Indian cities
have networked banking facility as well as Internet banking facility. A customer is empowered to
operate his account from any part of the country. UTI Bank, ICICI, HDFC Bank and Bank of
Punjab are the main winners of the race.

BANKING IN INDIA

Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The General Bank of
India coming into existence in 1786. This was followed by Bank of Hindustan. Both these banks
are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India being
established as "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. A couple of decades later, foreign
banks like Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time,
Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and due
to which banking activity took roots there and prospered. The first fully Indian owned bank was
the Allahabad Bank, which was established in 1865.

By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such as Punjab
National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in Mumbai - both of which were
founded under private ownership. The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility
of regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the
Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.

EARLY HISTORY

3|Page
At the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense
of the term. At the time of the American Civil War, a void was created as the supply of cotton to
Lancashire stopped from the Americas. Some banks were opened at that time which functioned
as entities to finance industry, including speculative trades in cotton. With large exposure to
speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period could not survive and
failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently,
banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until the
beginning of the 20th century. At that time there were very small banks operated by Indians, and
most of them were owned and operated by particular communities. The banking in India was
controlled and dominated by the presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay, the Bank of
Bengal, and the Bank of Madras

DURING WARS

The years of the First World War were turbulent, and it took toll of At least 94 banks in
India failed during the years 1913 to 1918 as indicated in the following table:

POST INDEPENDENCE

• In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized,
and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.
• In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."
• The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing
bank may be opened without a licence from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors.

NATIONALISATION

By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate the
development of the Indian economy. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed
the intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper
entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive
enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and
nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969.

LIBARALISATION

The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time,
were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%; Lend at 6%; Go home at 4) of functioning.

5|Page
In the early 1990s the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalisation and gave licences to a small number of private banks, which came to be known as
New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as Global Trust Bank (the first of
such new generation banks to be set up)which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of
Commerce,UTI Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank..

CURRENT SITUATION

Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks
(that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not have
government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign
banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to
a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total
assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5%
respectively

KEY PLAYERS:

Several number of players like Andhra Bank, State Bank of Mysore, Allahabad Bank, Vijaya
Bank, Punjab National Bank, HDFC Bank, UTI Bank, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank,
Centurion Bank of Punjab, Citibank, Standard, HSBC, ABN AMRO and American Express
