5. Evolution of Indian Banking
• Post-Independence(1947-69): Monopoly, concentration
of economic power
• Nationalization(1969): Social control, directed credit
• Financial sector reforms(1992): Competition,
deregulation
• Consolidation(2001): Universal banking models, mergers
etc…
• Financial inclusion, Leveling the playing field (2008):
6. Indian Banking (1947-1970)
• Government take over of RBI(January 1949)
• Enactment of Banking Regulation Act 1949
• Committee on Rural Credit Survey(1951)The Committee
recommended one strong integrated state partnered
commercial banking institution to stimulate banking
development in general and rural credit in particular.
• The Imperial Bank of India was taken over by the
Government of India and called as State Bank of India in
1955
• Nationalization of private banks in 1969 and 1980
7. Impact of Nationalization
(1970 to 1992)
• Substantial increase in banking business in terms of
per capita branches, deposits, and deployment of credit.
• Penetration of banking activity to rural and semi-urban
areas
• Excessive focus on quantitative achievement and social
obligations, often at the expense of achieving profitability
and efficiency
• Capital base was eroded
• Rise in quantum of bad Loans
• Poor customer service

9. Financial Sector reforms: A beginning
• Chakravarthy Committee Report (1985) and Vaghual
Committee(1990) brought some changes in the
financial markets. The innovative instruments like
Treasury bills, CPs, CDs have become new avenues
for banks.
• Entry of Banks into para banking services (late
eighties); Merchant banking, Mutual Funds, Leasing,
Factoring etc...
10. McKinnon-Shaw-Maxwell Fry
Hypothesis
• Excessive intervention in the financial system leads to
financial repression and comes in the way of financial
intermediation and its contribution to resource
mobilization needs to be qualified
11. Bank Management: Three fundamental
approaches
• The accommodation principle: Banks should
accommodate the legitimate credit demands of
commerce, industry and agriculture
• The profit maximizing principle:
• The stock adjustment principle
12. Profit Maximizing Principle
• Neo classical marginal principle
• Banks select asset portfolio by understanding cost-
benefit analysis so as to maximize the return, net of
cost, from the entire portfolio.
• It is also risk-return approach
• This approach attempts to incorporate the element of
uncertainty inherently associated with decision making
process
• The asset choice modeling assumes greater
importance
13. Stock Adjustment Principle
• Banks have a desired level of each balance sheet item
and they adjust the stocks of each of the variables so as
to close the gap between actual and desired levels
14. Reforms in Banking Sector-post 1992
• Competition Enhancing Measures
• Measures Enhancing Role of Market Forces
• Prudential Measures
• Institutional and Legal Measures
• Supervisory Measures
• Technology Related Measures
15. Implications of reforms on bank
management
• How do banks manage liabilities and funds?
• How to price deposits and minimise cost of funds?
• How to rate the loans?
• What are the risk-return characteristics of loans?
• How to price the loans?
• How to fix the exposure norms?
• How to estimate expected and unexpected losses on
loans?
• How to manage market risks?
16. Emerging Trends
• Deposit banking to financial services
• Balance sheet exposures to off-balance sheet exposures
• Capital adequacy to capital efficiency
• Physical distribution to virtual distribution
• Fragmentation to consolidation
• Data to information to knowledge

27. Competition from Non-Banks
• Controlling communication networks and gate ways are
emerging as “brokers” directing the customers
• The loyalty of customer is increasingly broker oriented
rather than ultimate producer of the product
• The possession of brand name is inspiring confidence

31. Leverage on Technology
• Operational efficiency
• Customer Management
• Product Management
• Distribution
33. Mergers and Acquisitions: Driving factors
• Economies of Scale
– Overcapacity
– High cost distribution and transaction infrastructures
such as branch networks and IT platforms that lend
themselves to rationalization
• Economies of Scope
– Universal Banks
– Barriers in product innovation leads to innovation on
distribution side
• Capital adequacy requirements
35. Financial Inclusion
• Financial inclusion is delivery of banking services at an
affordable cost to the vast sections of disadvantaged and
low income groups.
• As banking services are in the nature of public good, it is
essential that availability of banking and payment
services to the entire population without discrimination is
the prime objective of the public policy.
36. Financial Inclusion
• The Financial Inclusion Task Force in UK has identified
three priority areas for the purpose of financial inclusion
– access to banking
– access to affordable credit
– access to free face-to-face money advice
• UK has established a Financial Inclusion Fund to
promote financial inclusion and assigned responsibility to
banks and credit unions in removing financial exclusion.
• Basic no frills accounts have been introduced.
37. Financial Inclusion: Initiatives of UK
• Credit unions have been established, accompanied by
tighter regulations to ensure greater protection for
investors.
• Post Office Card Account (POCA) has been created
for those who are unable or unwilling to access a basic
bank account.
• The concept of a Savings Gateway has been piloted.
This offers those on low-income employment, £1 from
the State for every £1 they invest, up to a maximum of
£25 per month.
• Community Finance Learning Initiatives (CFLIs) were
also introduced with a view to promoting basic financial
literacy among housing association tenants.
