utility services like e-tickets, payment of
bills, educative services etc.

History of Banking in India


There were three oldest Banks
Bank of Bengal
Bank of Bombay
Bank of Madras
These banks were called Presidency Banks.
They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial
Bank of India, which after independence
became State Bank of India.
Reserve Bank of India came into existence in
1935 which took the responsibility of
regulating Banking sector as Central Bank in
India.

Banking Scenario after


Independence

In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India was


nationalized, and it became an
institution owned by the Government of
India.
In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was
enacted which empowered the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control,
and inspect the banks in India."

Nationalisation of
Banks

On July 19, 1969, 14 major banks


were nationalised.
On April 15, 1980 another 6
banks were nationalised.
With the nationalisation, the
banking in India shifted from
Class banking to Mass Banking

Liberalisation

In the early 1990s the Govt


embarked on a policy of liberalisation
and gave licences to a small number
of private banks, which came to be
known as New Generation tech-savvy
banks like Global Trust Bank, UTI
Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank),
ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank.

Current Banking
Scenario

Currently,
India
has
81
scheduled
commercial banks (SCBs) 28 (19
Nationalised banks + 8 SBI Group + 1 IDBI),
29 Foreign banks and 24 Private banks.
They have a combined network of over
53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs.
The public sector banks hold over 75
percent of total assets of the banking
industry, with the private and foreign banks
holding 18% and 7% respectively.

Scope of Career in
Banks

A career in the banks has always been a


sought-after one. Fascination with
banking services has never been higher
than at present. With the advent of
private and foreign banks, the interest
of youth in joining banks has only
increased further. Another notable
factor has also been the pay package
which has fattened considerably with
the coming of these banks.

Opportunities

As the industry is growing there is no


dearth
of
opportunities.
In
nationalized banks, one can expect
regular promotions while in private
banks it is performance that is
rewarded.
As financial services get automated,
the industry requires a large number
of computer experts.

levels: from bank clerks to probationary
officers (PO), IT Officers. There is good
scope for professionals like MBAs, CAs

Features of Banking
Jobs
The best features of the job are security,
good perks and salary, besides the
prospects of loans for employees. There
is good scope for promotions. The good
thing for the job-seekers in this field are
that demand for trained professionals
has increased substantially. The latter is
true for private banks, which offer better
salaries but correspondingly less job
security.

Job Requirements

Bank jobs come with responsibility, as the


banker handles other people's money. The
person must be service-oriented and like
to look after customers.
Assess your aptitude before joining a
career in banking. The personality
required is a mix: for marketing and
meeting
customers
an
outgoing
personality is required, while for keeping
accounts a diligent and persevering
attitude is required.

Environment in Banks

One reason to be excited about


banking as a career is the rapid
change taking place. The jobs are
becoming
comfortable,
as
the
physical environment is pleasing and
computerisation has taken the load
off tedious jobs. As competition
increases, a good banker will
certainly be in great demand.
