Industry Overview

Existence of an efficient banking system is paramount for achieving economic growth as banks are the

mechanisms that channel the savings to investments. They have the capacity to promote economic growth as

they allocate savings to those investments which have potential to yield higher returns.

With 86 scheduled commercial banks, 82 regional rural banks, 1,645 urban cooperative banks (53 scheduled

cooperative banks) and 95,765 rural cooperative banks, India's banking system is a robust one and has proved

its mettle by standing unaffected during the recent global financial turmoil.

Key Statistics

• According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)'s 'Quarterly Statistics on Deposits and Credit of Scheduled

Commercial Banks', March 2012, Nationalised Banks accounted for 53.0 per cent of the aggregate deposits,

while the State Bank of India (SBI) and its Associates accounted for 21.8 per cent. The share of New Private

Sector Banks, Old Private Sector Banks, Foreign Banks, and Regional Rural Banks in aggregate deposits was

13.0 per cent, 4.8 per cent, 4.4 per cent and 3.0 per cent, respectively Nationalised Banks accounted for the

systems of two countries, the Government of India (GoI) has directed state-run banks to encourage local

currency payments for bilateral trade transactions. Under the proposed mechanism, Indian exporters will be

allowed to issue invoices and receive payments in Indian rupees while payments for imports will be made by

the partner country's bank in its local currency

(RRBs) and urban co-operative banks in West Bengal. The scope of agreements includes training the staff of

RRBs and co-operative banks in project appraisal, monitoring and collection as also providing free access to

software on a down-scaling methodology developed for lending to micro enterprises

• Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Deutsche Bank for

using its cross-currency payment solution namely FX4Cash to offer cash management services across 125

local currencies in more than 160 countries. The move would facilitate streamlined automated process for

forex dealing and payments to the bank

per cent to 30 per cent, the Karnataka Bank Ltd has signed an MoU with management consultant KPMG for its

business process re-engineering initiative, named as Project Tejas

• Meanwhile, the Export-Import Bank of India (EXIM) has decided to open a representative office in Myanmar

in order to increase the bilateral trade between the Northeast India and Myanmar. The opening of the trade

link with Myanmar and transit facility with Bangladesh is expected to offer new opportunities for the organic

agriculture produce of Northeast India

Government Initiatives

The Indian Government keeps initiating various steps to ensure safe and hassle-free banking in the country.

Recently, the RBI has relaxed the mandatory know your customer (KYC) norms for banks in order to make the

process of opening a bank account simpler and faster.

• Moreover, both the Houses of the Parliament have passed The Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill 2011. The Bill

would strengthen the regulatory powers of the RBI Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and would further develop

the banking sector in India. It will also help the nationalised banks to raise capital by issue of preference

shares or rights issue or issue of bonus shares while enabling them to increase or decrease the authorised

capital with approval from the Government and RBI without being limited by the ceiling of a maximum of Rs.

3000 crore (US$ 558.84 million). Furhermore, the Bill would offer possibilities for new bank licenses by RBI

resulting in opening of new banks and branches. This would not only help in achieving the goal of financial

inclusion by providing more banking facilities, but would also provide additional employment opportunities

to the people at large in the banking sector.

• The GoI has also approved the establishment of a Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Trust (CRGFT) for low income

housing, with an initial outlay of Rs.1000 crore (US$ 186.28 million). The CRGFT, registered on May 1, 2012

and launched on October 31, 2012 would administer and operate the Scheme, which is demand-driven, as

stated by Ajay Maken, Union Minister of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA).

The Minister stated that under the Scheme, the Trust will provide guarantee to lending agencies for housing

loans extended by them to persons belonging to the Economically Weaker Sections / Low Income Groups

(upto Rs. 5 lakh [US$ 9,313.67]), without any third party guarantee or collateral security

Road Ahead

With the Parliament passing the much awaited Banking Laws Amendment Bill recently, the face of the Indian

banking industry is set to get a lift in the coming years as the passage of the bill has paved the way for more

banks. This will not only create a healthy competition among the players in the industry, but will also escalate the

style of operation and technology.
