CHAPTER 1
Definition Of Bank:
The origin of the word bank is shrouded in mystery. According to one view point the
Italian business house carrying on crude from of banking were called banchi
bancheri" According to another viewpoint banking is derived from German word
"Branck" which mean heap or mound. In England, the issue of paper money by the
government was referred to as a raising a bank.
ORIGIN OF BANKING :
Its origin in the simplest form can be traced to the origin of authentic history. After
recognizing the benefit of money as a medium of exchange, the importance of
banking was developed as it provides the safer place to store the money. This safe
place ultimately evolved in to financial institutions that accepts deposits and make
loans i.e., modern commercial banks.
Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy
economy.The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be
3|Page
able to meet new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and
internal factors.
For the past three decades India's banking system has several outstanding
achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer
confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact, Indian banking
system has reached even to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the main
reasons of India's growth process.
Banking in India has its origin as early or Vedic period. It is believed that the
transitions from many lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the
great Hindu furriest, who has devoted a section of his work to deposit and advances
and laid down rules relating to the rate of interest. During the mogul period, the
indigenous banker played a very important role in lending money and financing
foreign trade and commerce.
During the days of the East India Company it was the turn of agency house to carry
on the banking business. The General Bank of India was the first joint stock bank to
be established in the year 1786. The other which followed was the Bank of Hindustan
and Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906.
While other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th century the East
India Company established there banks, The bank of Bengal in 1809, the Bank of
Bombay in 1840 and the Bank of Bombay in1843. These three banks also known as
the Presidency banks were the independent units and functioned well. These three
banks were amalgamated in 1920 and new bank, the Imperial Bank of India was
established on 27th January, 1921.
With the passing of the State Bank of India Act in 1955 the undertaking of the
Imperial Bank of India was taken over by the newly constituted SBI. The Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) which is the Central bank was established in April, 1935 by
4|Page
passing Reserve bank of India act 1935. The Central office of RBI is in Mumbai and
it controls all the other banks in the country.
In the wake of Swadeshi Movement, number of banks with the Indian management
were established in the country namely, Punjab National Bank Ltd., Bank of India
Ltd., Bank of Baroda Ltd., Canara Bank. Ltd. on 19th July 1969, 14 major banks of the
country were nationalized and on 15th April 1980, 6 more commercial private sector
banks were taken over by the government.
The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till
today,the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct
phases. They areas mentioned below:
New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial &
Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.
To make this write-up more explanatory, I prefix the scenario as Phase I, Phase II and
Phase III.
Phase I
The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan
and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank
of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it
Presidency Banks.
These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was
established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans
shareholders.
5|Page
In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab
National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906
and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian
Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.
During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic
failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small.
To streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of
India came up with The Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to
Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965).
Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of
banking in India as the Central Banking Authority.
During those day’s public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit
mobilization was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal
department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders.
Phase II
Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after
independence. In1955, it nationalized Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking
facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi-urban areas. It formed State
Bank of India to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions
of the Union and State Governments all over the country.
Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalized in 1960 on
19th July,1969, major process of nationalization was carried out. It was the effort of
the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in
the country was nationalized.
6|Page
Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in
1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India
under Government ownership.
The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate
BankingInstitutions in the Country:
After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to
approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.
Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and
immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.
Phase III
This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in
its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee
was set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.
The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being
put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is
introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more
importance than money.
7|Page
The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from
any crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian
Countries suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign
reserves are high, the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their
customers have limited foreign exchange exposure.
BANKS IN INDIA
In India the banks are being segregated in different groups. Each group has their own
benefits and limitations in operating in India. Each has their own dedicated target
market. Few of them only work in rural sector while others in both rural as well as
urban. Many even are only catering in cities. Some are of Indian origin and some are
foreign players.
All these details and many more is discussed over here. The banks and its relation
with the customers, their mode of operation, the names of banks under different
groups and other such useful information’s are talked about.
One more section has been taken note of is the upcoming foreign banks in India. The
RBI has shown certain interest to involve more of foreign banks than the existing one
recently. This step has paved a way for few more foreign banks to start business in
India.

Pinnacle7.016.Among from this software ICICI bank uses the e-banking, core
banking,
mobile banking electronic display sy ICICI Bank was using Teradata for its data
warehouse. However, due to its proprietary hardware, the cost of procurement,
upgrades and administration was soaring. The closed box architecture of Teradata
imposed restrictions on scalability. Secondly, querying and loading could not happen
simultaneously. Queries could only be run during business hours because the loading
of data had to take place during off business hours. This meant that the refresh rate of
EDW was delayed, so queries may not reflect the most current data. ICICI Bank was
also dependent on Teradata for support and other activities: The bank was completely
tied down to that solution.
These issues compelled ICICI Bank to look for more efficient and flexible solutions.
The solution would have to address not only current issues, but accommodate future
growth expectations and business requirements. ICICI Bank evaluated numerous data
warehousing solutions in the pursuit of solving its issues, and developed a shortlist of
alternatives for its migration proof-of-concept: Sybase, SAS and Netezza. The
primary criteria for evaluation was the price-to-performance ratio where Sybase IQ
emerged the clear winner. During this rigorous testing, Sybase IQ delivered faster
results on independent hardware and operating systems with minimum infrastructure.
Commending the improvements achieved, Amit Sethi, Joint General Manager, ICICI
bank says, "What impressed us wasthat even with overall lower costs, we could
achieve significantly better query performanceafter implementing the Sybase
enterprise warehouse solution." ICICI Infotech today launched an enterprise
resourceplanning (ERP) solution for the small and medium enterprises.
The ERP package - Orion Advantage - comes bundled with an HP dual processor
Xeon
server, Oracle 9i database, Windows 2003 server and costs about Rs 9.90 lakh and has
a 15-user license.

An ERP package helps a manufacturer or any other business implementing it to
manage all the important parts in the company such as product planning, parts
purchasing, maintaining inventory and interacting with suppliers and customers.
ICICI Infotech officials told a press conference here today that Orion Advantage
offered a set of business practice solutions for industry segments such as engineering,
auto ancillary, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and IT distribution. Besides the cost
advantage, the ERP package also came pre-configured. ICICI Infotech had mapped
the processes specific to each industry segment into the package.
Mr. Manoj Kunkalienkar, Executive Director and President, ICICI Infotech, said that
smalland medium enterprises (SMEs) offered a good market and ICICI Infotech
hoped to become a leading solution provider to this segment.
Mr. R.K. Kanthi, Deputy General Manager, ICICI Infotech, said there was no ERP
packagefor the SMEs that bundled the server, database and operating system right
now. That was the advantage ICICI Infotech offered to SMEs as Orion Advantage
came bundled and preconfigured. Besides the high cost of generic ERP packages,
their implementation time as far as SMEs were concerned was also long. Orion
Advantage could be installed in 45 days.
ICICI Infotech had signed up six customers so far for the package and hoped to garner
a 15 per cent market share of the SME segment, whose number in the country was
estimated at 2.30 lakh.
Mr. K.S. Natarajan, Managing Director, Trident Pneumatics Pvt Ltd of Coimbatore,
one of the companies that had installed Orion Advantage, said that the company had
tried three other ERP packages, all of which had failed, before settling on Orion
Advantage.
Mr Kunkalienkar said that ICICI Infotech planned to move the two development
centers in Chennai into a single location and double the staff strength from 300 now
in the next two years.
The Chennai centers were involved in research and development of Orion ERP
solutions and Premia, an insurance package.

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
Thus, ICICI has been able to use technology to provide value-added service to its
customers during the last few years. For ICICI, technology is an integral part of their
business. However, their overall progress could have been smoother but for certain
internal and extraneous factors and also a pressure on spread due to a competitive
market (Annual report, 2010 –11). E-banking has become a necessary survival
weapon and is fundamentally changing the banking industry worldwide. Today, the
click of the mouse offers customers banking services at a much lower cost and also
empowers them with unprecedented freedom in choosing vendors for their financial
service needs. No country today has a choice- whether to implement E-banking or not
given the global and competitive nature of the economy. ICICI have top grade and
constantly think of new innovative customized packages and services to remain
competitive. The invasion of banking by technology has created an information age
and commoditization of banking services. ICICI have come to realize that survival in
the new e-economy depends on delivering some or all of their banking services on the
Internet while continuing to support their traditional infrastructure. The rise of E-
banking is redefining business relationships and the most successful banks will be
those that can truly strengthen their relationship with their customers. Without any
doubt, theinternational scope of E-banking provides new growth perspectives and
Internet business is a catalyst for new technologies and new business processes.
