Acknowledgement: “For any successful work, it owes its thanks to many” Summer training is one of the most vital and active part of the curriculum of management students. I did the work as a management trainee at AXIS Bank.

Hard work, knowledge, dedication & positive attitude all are necessary to do any task successfully but one ingredient which is also very important than others and at times more important than others is cooperation & guidance of experts and experienced person.

Firstly I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Navneet Ralli the Branch Manager, for his guidance throughout the project. Without his support and cooperation I would have failed in my endeavours and targets in the summer training.

I emphatically express the regards and gratitude towards my speculative guide Mr. Shakti Singh Rathore (BSM), Mr. Kapil Singh Shekhwat and Mr. Om Thanvi For his expert and invaluable guidance, constant encouragement, and constructive criticism to accomplish such laborious and exhaustive work timely and perfectly.

I avail the opportunity to thanks Mr. Lokesh Agarwal, Mr. Vishal Sharma and Mr. Hasmukh who helped to ease my burden of works and extended their helping hands during my training.

I would also like to thank all the Staff of Axis Bank, Jaipur for their invaluable suggestion and cooperation to complete my project successfully.

Banking In India: Overview:

8

Banking

in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks

were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established under charters from the British East India Company.

They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. 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.

The

first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865.

However, at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense of the term. The American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States. Promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period 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.

Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The Comptoire d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862; branches in Madras and Pondichery, then a French colony, followed. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and so became a banking centre.

The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.

Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which served particular ethnic and religious communities.

The presidency banks dominated banking in India. There were also some exchange banks and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks 10

operated in different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally under capitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments."

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. Punjab National Bank is the first Swadeshi Bank founded by the leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. The Swadeshi movement in particular inspired local businessmen and political figures to found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India.

Nationalized Banks in India: 11

Banking

System in India is dominated by nationalized banks. The

nationalization of banks in India took place in 1969 by Mrs. Indira Gandhi the then prime minister. The major objective behind nationalization was to spread banking infrastructure in rural areas and make available cheap finance to Indian farmers. Fourteen banks were nationalized in 1969. Before 1969, State Bank of India (SBI) was the only public sector bank in India. SBI was nationalized in 1955 under the SBI Act of 1955. The second phase of nationalization of Indian banks took place in the year 1980. Seven more banks were nationalized with deposits over 200 crores.

List of Public Sector Banks in India is as follows: ➢ Allahabad Bank ➢ State Bank of Indore ➢ State Bank of Patiala ➢ State Bank of Travancore ➢ UCO Bank ➢ United Bank of India s ➢ Andhra Bank ➢ Bank of India ➢ Canara Bank ➢ Corporation Bank ➢ Indian Bank ➢ Oriental Bank of Commerce ➢ Punjab National Bank ➢ State Bank of Hyderabad

➢ State Bank of India (SBI) ➢ State Bank of Mysore ➢ State Bank of Saurashtra ➢ Syndicate Bank ➢ Union Bank of India ➢ Vijaya Bank ➢ Bank of Baroda ➢ Bank of Maharashtra ➢ Central Bank of India ➢ Dena Bank ➢ Indian Overseas Bank ➢ Punjab and Sind Bank ➢ State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur

Private Banks in India: All

the banks in India were earlier private banks. They were founded in the

pre-independence era to cater to the banking needs of the people. But after 12

nationalization of banks in 1969 public sector banks came to occupy dominant role in the banking structure. Private sector banking in India received a fillip in 1994 when Reserve Bank of India encouraged setting up of private banks as part of its policy of liberalization of the Indian Banking Industry. Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector.

Private Banks have played a major role in the development of Indian banking industry. They have made banking more efficient and customer friendly. In the process they have jolted public sector banks out of complacency and forced them to become more competitive.
