1. Introduction
Indian economy has been witnessing impressive growth consistently
for past many years excluding the exceptions in the very recent past,
partly due to global economic meltdown. This growth can sustain only with
the eective and ecient support from a robust nance system. Finance
sector was also a part of the economic reforms initiated in early nineties
and it could contribute eectively to the overall growth of the economy.
Finance sector experienced a growth rate which is at par with growth in
!" during these years.
#owever, a comprehensive loo$ at the performance of ban$ing
sector will give better insights about the %uality of its performance and
how far it could meet the overall ob&ectives economic reforms expected
from this sector.

0 further close loo$ at the performance of ban$ing sector with another set
of parameters will give a dierent story altogether. In the larger interest of
the economy, the performance of ban$ing sector is to seen with rest to its
eciency in terms of allocation of resources and operationaleectiveness. =perational eciency ensuresnancial services in a safe,
secure, speedy and cost eective manner. 'hereas, allocation eciency
ensures allocation of resources to most productive activities as per the
developmental needs of the society. It ensures that broader national
interest are met and interest of most vulnerable sections are protected.
4uccess of a nancial system is in ensuring the eciency in terms of both
of these factors. 5ut the statistics shows that the operational eciency
what we saw from the statistics seen earlier is at the cost of allocation
eciency.
4ome of the parameters which will give an idea about the allocation
eciency are as follows.
a< /omposition of number of rural branches in the total number of
branches in the country 6 The percentage of rural braches of the
total number of braches came down from (+.)8 in )**2 to +.)>

!etailed statistics are given at Annexure I. 0ll these statistics ;4peech
of !eputy overnor 15I at FI50/ -) ta$en from 15I website< clearly
indicates the attention of ban$s have been shifting steadily from rural to
urban, agricultural7 44I :nits to bigger corporate entities, individual
customers to business establishments. 0ll these wor$ against the
ob&ective of better allocational eciency.
0llocational ine%ualities are also evident from the fragmented
structure of ban$ing sector as can be seen from the chart given below.
1egional 1ural 5an$s and co6operative ban$s which forms more than 8(3
in number contributes only less than 83 in terms of business. This implies
the domination and pivotal role of 4cheduled /ommercial 5an$s excluding
115s in the Indian ban$ing sector.

for improving the allocation eciency and ma$ing the sector more
inclusive in its growth.
