1. 0 INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM
A bank in India has been defined in the Banking companiesact, 1949. as one “who transacts banking business, which means accepting, for purposes of loan or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and able to withdraw by check, wire transfer, l the order or otherwise. “Most of the activities of a bank makes are derived from the above definition. In addition, banks are allowed to perform certain activities that are related to the business of accepting deposits and lending. A banking relationship with the public, therefore, revolves around accepting deposits and lending money. Another activity that is increasingly important is the transfer of money – both domestic and foreign – from one place to another. This activity is generally known as “corporate discount” in banking jargon. The so-called forex (foreign) of enterprises is largely a part of the rebate even if it involves buying and selling foreign currency.
How a bank is among the most complex operations of the company. Since banking involves dealing directly with money, the governments of most countries to regulate this sector, rather stringent. In India, the regulation has always been very strict and the opinion of some neighborhoods, head of the state banks, where NPAs are a very high order. The process of financial reforms, which began in 1991, has cleared the cobwebs a little, but much remains to be done. The multiplicity of policies and regulations which the Bank must work with its operations makes it even more complicated, sometimes bordering on logic. This section is also intended for professional banking services, attempts to outline the functions of the simplest way possible. Act on banking regulations in India, 1949 defines Banking as “accepting, for purposes of loan or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and able to withdraw by check , addresses, and order or otherwise. ”
TYPES OF BANKS
The financial needs in a modern economy are diverse, the variety of distinctive and large magnitude. Thus, different types of banks have been established to meet the diverse needs of the community. The banks in the organized sector can be classified into the following
1. Commercial Banks: —
Commercial banks are joint stock companies trade in the currency and credit. In India, however, there is a mixed banking system before July 1969, all commercial banks-73 regular and 26 non-scheduled banks, except State Bank of India and its subsidiaries were under the control of private sector. On July 19, 1969, however, 14mejor commercial banks with deposits of more than 50 corers were nationalized. In April 1980, six commercial banks of high standing have been taken by the government.
2. CO-OPERATIVE BANKS: —
Cooperative banks are a group of financial institutions organized under the provisions of the Co-operative Societies Act of the States. The main objective of cooperative banks is to offer cheap loans to their members. They are based on the principle of self-reliance and mutual cooperation. Co-operative banking system in India is shaped like a pyramid, a three-tier structure, consisting of:
3. Specialized banks: —
There are specialized forms of banks that meet certain specific needs with the unique nature of activities. Foreign exchange banks, industrial banks, development banks, development banks, land, Exim Bank is important.
4. CENTRAL BANK: —
A central bank is the top financial institution in the banking and financial system
a country. It is considered the highest monetary authority in the country. It acts as a market leader in money. It monitors, controls and regulates the activities of commercial banks. It is a service-oriented financial institution. Central Bank of India is the Reserve Bank of India established in 1935. and it was nationalized in 1949. It is free from scrutiny.
Role of banks in a developing economy
Banks play a very important dynamic in the economic life of any modern state. A study of the economic history of Western countries shows that without the development of commercial banks in the 18th and 19th centuries, the industrial revolution would not have taken place in Europe. The economic importance of commercial banks to developing countries may be considered as well:
1. PROMOTING THE FORMATION OF CAPITAL: —
A developing economy needs a high rate of capital formation to accelerate the pace of economic development, but the rate of capital formation depends on the savings rate. Unfortunately, in underdeveloped countries, saving is very low. Banks afford facilities for savings and therefore encourage the habits of economy and industry in the community. They mobilize capital and passive ideal of the country and make it available for productive purposes.
2. Encouraging innovation: —
Innovation is another factor responsible for economic development. The entrepreneur in innovation is largely dependent on how the bank credit is allocated and used in the process of economic growth. Bank credit allows entrepreneurs to innovate and invest, and thereby promoting economic activity and progress.
3. MONETSATION: —
Banks are the manufactures of money and they allow many to play its role freely in the economy. Banks to monetize the debt and also help the backward sector of subsistence of the rural economy by extending their branches in rural areas. They must be replaced by branches of the modern commercial bank.
4. Influence economic activity
Banks are able to influence economic activity in a country through their influence on interest rates. They can influence the rate of interest on the money market through its supply of funds. Banks may follow a policy of cheap money with low interest rates that tend to stimulate economic activity.
5. MODERATOR OF THE MONETARY POLICY
Thus, the monetary policy of a country should be conducive to economic development. But a well-developed banking system is prerequisite for the effective implementation of monetary policy. Underdeveloped countries can not afford to ignore this fact.
PRINCIPLES OF THE POLICY OF BANK LENDING
The main activity of the banking business is to grant loans and advances to merchants
and commercial and industrial institutes. The most important use of banks is lending money. Yet there are risks in lending. Thus, banks follow certain principles to minimize risk:
1. SAFETY
Normally, the bank uses the money of depositors in granting loans and advances. So first of all a first time, the banker while granting loans should think first about the safety of money deposited. The objective behind the security is to see the financial situation if the borrower can pay the debt and interest easily.
2. LIQUIDITY
It is a legal duty of a banker to pay on demand all money deposited in the applicant. So, the banker must keep certain species percent of total deposits on hand. In addition, the Bank provides loans. It is also adding short-term and productive capital. This type of loan is recovered on demand.
3. PROFITABILITY
Commercial banks are nonprofit institutions gain. Nationalized banks are no exception. They should have a schedule of deposits in a manner more profitable to pay interest to depositors and wages for employees. In addition, the banker may also incur costs for businesses and can provide more benefits for customers.
4. PURPOSE OF LOAN
The banks never lend or advance any type of object. Banks grant loans and advances for the security of its riches and the certainty of recovery of loans and the bank lends only for productive purposes. For example, the bank grants a loan to such a need for non-productive.
5. PRINCIPLE OF THE DIVERSIFICATION OF RISK
Although the loans or advances loan banks normally keep such securities and assets as a way to support loan may be safe and secure. Suppose a particular State is affected by disasters, but the bank must obtain the benefits of loans to other state units. Thus, it has effect on all of their banking operations is reduced.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
What follows is the main objective of the studies.
1. To study the problem in the financial crisis and money related query.
2. To evaluate bank is one of the most regulated companies in India.
3. To analyze the role of economic development for the nation.
4. To study the dynamic role in the delivery and purchase of consumer durables.
Study Scope
All people need money for personal and commercial. The banks are the oldest institutions in the Indian scenario. They provide all facilities to all citizens for their own needs by their own terms. To survive in this modern market, each bank implements many new innovative ideas, strategies and technologies. For that they give to each and every detail about their organization and projects to the public. They provide ample facilities to meet their customers i. e. Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Door to Door installation, for an instant, the Investment Facility, a facility Demat, Credit Card Facility, loans and advances, accounts, etc. facilities and these banks get the success to create their own image in the public and private world. These banks still accept innovative concepts in the Indian banking scenario like Credit Cards, ATMs, risk management, etc. So as a business economics student I take a keen interest in the Indian economy and for banks are the main source of development.
So what should be the first choice for me to choose this theme. At this point, everyone should know about innovation, technology, the procedure of new devices and new businesses.

STRATEGIC ISSUES IN BANKING
Strategic planning is the process of analyzing organizational environments internal and external development of the appropriate mission, vision and overall objectives, identify the general strategies to follow, and allocated resources.
• Mission goal now is to an organization or purpose.
• Vision is fundamental aspirations of the organization and purpose that generally appealed to its members the hearts and minds.
• Goals are what the organization is committed to achieving.
• The strategies are the priority areas that the organization takes to achieve goals.
• allocation of resources is the allocation of money from budgets for various purposes.
• Strategy downsizing signals for an organization to rely less on human resources primarily to accomplish its goals.
Tactical planning is the process of making detailed decisions about what to do, what will do, and how to do a normal time horizon of one year or less. The process usually includes:
• Choice of clear goals and ways to implement the strategic plan of the organization,
• Deciding on courses of action to improve current operations, and
• Develop budgets for each department, division and project.
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT
While Total Quality Management has proven to be an effective process for improving the functioning of the organization, its value can not be assured through a comprehensive and thoughtful process of implementation. TQM is, in fact, a large-scale systems change, and guiding principles and considerations relating to this scale, changes will be presented. Without paying attention to contextual factors, well-intentioned changes may not be adequately designed. As another aspect of context, expectations and perceptions of employees will be evaluated, so that the plan of implementation can cope. Specifically, sources of resistance to change and ways to deal with them will be discussed. This is important to allow an agent of change, anticipating resistance and design for them, so that the process does not bog down or stall. Then, a model of implementation will be presented, including a review of key principles. Visionary leadership will be offered as a major opportunity for someone to introduce TQM. In recent years the literature on change management and leadership has grown, and applications based on the research results will be more likely to succeed. Using proven principles will also enable the change agent to avoid reinventing the proverbial wheel. Principles of Implementation will be followed by a review of steps in managing the transition to the new system and ways to help institutionalize the process as part of the culture of the organization. Finally, some different things to do and not to you will be offered.
Planned change processes often work, he conceptualized and implemented properly, but unfortunately, every organization is different, and processes are often adopted “off the shelf ‘,’ the ‘device model of organizational change “buy a complete program as a ‘package of quality circle, a dealer, plug it in, and I hope he will himself” (Kanter, 1983, 249). Alternatively, particularly in the public sector under-funded and not for profit sectors, partial applications are tried, and despite management and employee commitment does not bear fruit. This chapter will focus on ways to prevent some of these disappointments. In summary, the goal here is to examine the principles of effective implementation of planned changes and to suggest specific applications in TQM. Several hypotheses are proposed:
1. TQM is a viable and effective planned change, when properly installed
2. All organizations are appropriate or ready for TQM
3. Prerequisites (timeliness, readiness) for successful TQM can sometimes be created
4. Management commitment to a large scale, long term, and cultural change is needed.
While problems in adapting TQM in government and social service agencies have been identified, TQM can be useful in such organizations if properly modified.
To survive, banks should make efforts to improve their quality and competitiveness through the planning and management in innovative fields of autumn:
• Increase emphasis on activities that focus on customer

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
According to Peter Drucker and Daniel Bell, the gurus of knowledge management is the only significant economic resource. Knowledge management can be defined as a systematic and integrated coordination of activities across the organization to acquire, create, store, share, disseminate, develop and deploy knowledge, individual and groups in pursuit of objectives major organization. It also means creating a learning environment interacting as members of the organization and transfer to share what they know and apply knowledge to solve problems, innovate and create new knowledge.
Knowledge management is as much about people and culture as it is about technology. Knowledge management develops when the communication network of man operates freely through the shortest path between knowledge providers and seekers of knowledge. There must be a culture that encourages and rewards the sharing of knowledge resources. Thus, organizations must create a culture that motivates people to create, share and use knowledge.
After the concern of system and procedures for data collection ad translated into information, its time for companies to focus on the next plane to know. Knowledge management is not a buzzword. Each solution of knowledge management if they are currently implemented, has defined the measurable business benefits.
Success of the company’s future depends increasingly on the retention and use creative ideas, knowledge and experiences of an organization and its employees. And enterprise companies need knowledge workers to be more than the workers they need for the employer.
INNOVATION IN THE BANK
Innovation is the lifeblood of organizations grow, prosper and turn in sync with changes in the environment, both internal and external. Banking is no exception in this regard. In fact, this sector has undergone a radical transformation in the end, on the basis of numerous innovations in products, processes, services, systems, business models, technology, governance and regulation. Liberalization and globalization of the financial infrastructure has provided additional impetus for this massive effort.
The pervasive influence of information technology has revolutionary bank. Transaction costs have fallen and handling astronomical number of transactions in no time became a reality. Internationally, many brick and mortar structure was giving ground rapidly clicking and bank electronic control with a plethora of new products. Banking boundaries become less and virtual model with a 24 * 7. Banks rely heavily on the soundness of the banking relationship “as a time tested way to target and serve their customers, have readily adopted Customer Relationship Management (CRM), with an acute accent on the centrality of the client, facilitated by the availability of superior technology. CRM has become the new mantra in the management of customer service that is both relationship-based and information intensive.
Risk management is no longer a simple matter of regulation. Basel-2 has given primacy of place in this fascinating exercise in repositioning as the core of the bank. We now see the development of products carry many novel as credit derivatives, particularly the transfer of credit risk (CRT) mechanism, as a consequence. CRT, which is characterized by significant product innovation, is a very useful tool for risk management of credit, which improves the liquidity and market efficiency. Securitization is another example in this regard, including the strategic use has been increasing rapidly worldwide. So is outsourcing.
The banking technology
Nobel Laureate Robert Solow had once remarked that computers are seen everywhere except in productivity statistics. More recent developments have shown how this situation has changed. Innovation in technology and the revolution in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have emerged as a dynamic source of productivity growth. The relationship between IT and banking is fundamentally symbiotic. In banking, it can reduce costs, increase product volume and to facilitate personalized the same, it requires banking and financial
to facilitate its growth. Regarding the banking system is concerned, the payment system is perhaps the most important mechanism by which this dynamic interaction occur. Recognizing the importance of payments and settlement systems in the economy, we undertook solutions based on technology for improving the infrastructure of payment systems and regulations, coupled with the introduction of new products payment as settlement computerized clearing, the use of Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) technology to compensate for the checks that currently represents 65 per cent of the value of checks processed in the country, computerization of public accounts and currency transactions Chest, operationalization of delivery against payment (DVP) for transactions of government securities. Both directions between cash check city and imaging have been made operational in the four metros. The coverage of Electronic Clearing Service (debit and credit) has been greatly expanded to encourage non-movement of funds based on paper and develop the provision of a central facility to make payments. The formula for the electronic transfer of funds managed by the Reserve Bank has been substantially increased and is now available in thirteen cities. The scheme, which was originally intended for low value transactions, is the transformation of high value (up to Rs 2. Crore) from 1 October 2001. The centralized funds management system (CFMS), which would allow banks to obtain consolidated account-wise and rational positions center of their balances with the 17 offices of the Deposits Accounts Departments of the Reserve Bank began to be implemented progressively from November 2001.
A holistic approach was adopted towards the design and development of a modern, robust, efficient, secure and integrated payment and settlement taking into account certain aspects of potential risks, the legal framework and the impact on the operational framework for monetary policy. The approach to modernization
payment and settlement in India was threefold: (a) consolidation, (b) development, and (c) integration. The consolidation of existing payment systems revolves around strengthening computerized check clearing, widening the scope of electronic services of clearing and electronic funds transfer by providing systems with the latest levels of technology. The critical elements in the development strategy is the opening of new clearing houses, interconnection of clearing houses across InfiNET; optimize deployment of resources by the banks by Real Time Gross Settlement System, a system of centralized management funds (CFMS), Negotiated Dealing System (NDS) and the Structured Financial Messaging Solution (SFMS). While the integration of various payment products with the systems of different banks is the area of thrust, it requires a high degree of standardization within a bank and interfaces seamlessly through banks.
The implementation of the APEX-payments national Council in May 1999 and operationalization of the InfiNET by the Institute for Research and Development in Banking Technology (IDRBT), Hyderabad have been some significant developments in the sense of providing a communications network for the exclusive use of banks and financial institutions. Membership in InfiNET was open to all banks in addition to those in the public sector. On the basis of all inter-bank transfers message using InfiNET is the Structured Financial Messaging System (SFMS). It would secure communication carrier with models for intra-and inter-bank messages in fixed format message which will facilitate straight through processing. “All inter-bank transactions are stored and passed to the central platform in Hyderabad, while the intra-bank messages will be activated and stored by the bridge bank. The security features of the SFMS correspond to international standards.
To maximize the impact of these efforts, the banks must take proactive measures to:
· Strengthen their infrastructure standardization, high levels
From · security and communication and networking;
· Achieving rapid interconnectivity;
· Broadening the use of the system of electronic funds transfer (EFT), and
Institute · terms of an online environment RTGS for integration in a secure and consolidated payment.
Information technology has a huge untapped potential in banking. Strengthening of information technology in banks could improve the efficiency of asset-liability management in banks. Establishment of a related database on a real time would improve cash forecasting significantly even at branch level. This could help strengthen the capacity of risk management of banks.
Regulations and Compliance
Gradual strengthening, deepening and refining the system of regulation and supervision of the financial sector have been important elements of financial sector reforms. In the long term, it is the supervision and regulation function is essential in safeguarding financial stability. There is also some evidence that proactive monitoring and effective contribution to the efficiency of financial intermediation. Financial sector supervision will become increasingly based on risk and those relating to the validation of systems rather than their definition. This will lead to procedures for internal evaluation of quality of risk for banks. As mentioned previously, the Department will develop the bank’s internal assessment of capital process according to their risk profile and control environment. This internal process would then be submitted for consideration and response monitoring if necessary. Emphasis will be placed on assessing the quality of risk management and the adequacy of risk containment. In such an environment, the credibility given by the market risk disclosures take place only if they are validated by supervisors. Thus, effective and appropriate surveillance is essential to the effectiveness of capital requirements and market discipline.
In some areas, for example, in the segment of urban cooperative banks, regulatory requirements leave considerable scope for regulatory arbitrage and even bypass. The problem is further complicated by the existence of regulatory overlap between the central government, state governments and the Reserve Bank. Regulatory overlap has hampered the speed of regulatory response to emerging problems. The need to remove multiple instances of regulation on the banking sector, the cooperative has been reiterated on several occasions. In this regard, the Reserve Bank has proposed the establishment of a supervisory body of APEX for urban cooperative banks under the supervision of a high level of supervision, consisting of representatives of central governments States, the Reserve Bank and experts. The supreme body is expected to ensure compliance with prudential requirements and will also oversee on-site inspections and off-site monitoring.
Recent developments in certain segments of the financial sector have also highlighted issues relating to corporate governance in banks. As part of ongoing reforms, councils were given greater autonomy to prescribe guidelines on internal control, risk management and procedures for market discipline and accountability. It is extremely important that greater vigilance over the observance of these standards goes hand in hand with greater autonomy. Recent data from the transgression of prudential guidelines by some banks has raised the issue of auditing and control boards. As we move towards a more deregulated financial system, these functions should be transferred from either the Government or the Reserve Bank for banking advice. This imposes a greater responsibility and accountability of bank management. In this context, an advisory group of directors to select banks and other experts was set up to recommend measures to strengthen the role of internal oversight boards. The objective is to obtain feedback on how boards function vis-à-vis compliance with prudential standards, transparency and disclosure, the functioning of the audit committee, etc., and develop effective mechanisms for ensure the management discipline.
Several other initiatives in improving the function of monitoring have been undertaken, including a declaration system of prudential supervision of financial institutions, improvements in procedures for financial control, public awareness for better regulation of activities NBFC and enactment of appropriate legislation to protect the interests of depositors in some states. Significant legal reforms were launched in areas
such as safety legislation, the Act on negotiable instruments, bank fraud and regulatory framework of banking. The Reserve Bank has also accepted the principle of transfer of ownership to the Government in respect of certain financial institutions for conflict of interest that may arise in the exercise of its oversight function. It is expected that these initiatives will pave the way for an efficient IT environment, and risk-based supervisory India.
The largest set of consolidated regulations that mandate the integrity of data in India are the IT Act and SEBI Clause of the 49 listed companies. These regulations apply not present the type of safety standards that are common in Europe and the United States. In a global economy, however, no company is an island and India Inc is the adoption of compliance procedures and U.S. and European certification such as Sarbanes Oxley, Safe Harbor, BS, and ISO.
Compliance, regulatory or otherwise, does not directly concern the department. In manufacturing, for example, compliance checks do not really address the security system and much of the quality control required by the authorities can not be imposed or enforced use. Companies that handle sensitive information, financial services and BPO, banks, MNC subsidiaries or those planning to expand beyond the Indian shores are all affected. They continue to make progress towards compliance. For mediumscale segment (Rs 100-300 crore turnover), and security audits are not a priority. This segment is at ease with the public mail servers and exchange information via connections not very safe.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new organizations, particularly new businesses generally in response to identified opportunities. Entrepreneurship is often difficult, because most new businesses fail. Business activities are significantly different depending on the type of organization is being started. Entrepreneurship May involve the creation of many jobs.
Profile Many “high” entrepreneurial ventures seek venture capital or angel financing to raise capital to build the business. Many types of organizations now exist to support entrepreneurs, including specialized government agencies, business incubators, science parks, and some NGOs. Schumpeter (1950), an entrepreneur is someone who is willing and able to turn a new idea or invention into a successful innovation. The forces of entrepreneurship “creative destruction” across markets and industries, simultaneously creating new products and business models and eliminate others. In this way, creative destruction is largely responsible for the dynamism of industries and long-term economic growth. Despite Schumpeter’s early contributions to 20th century, the traditional microeconomic theory of economics has had little room for entrepreneurs in their theories.
Characteristics of entrepreneurship: —
§ The contractor, who has a vision and enthusiasm for this vision is the driving force of entrepreneurship

PERFORMANCE AND BENCHMARKING
• PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT: —
Performance management is a systematic approach to improve the productivity of workers through a long year, a continuous process of communication and management performance expectations. With performance management focuses on improving performance is the joint responsibility of employees and their managers. Generally there are two things that determine how successful a rating system is in place in an organization.
1) The content / design of the evaluation form and performance
2) how performance evaluation is conducted.
While organizations insist on the content or part design, spending most of time, money and energy on designing the most appropriate format, objective, comprehensive, it is useless if the process of ‘evaluation is not done correctly.
Based on performance management measures, assesses and improves work performance. You can expect to increase employee productivity because the performance appraisals and feedback on performance will always be linked to employment, although the functions of a particular job extend or modify. In addition, because this type of performance management focus on productivity rather than the personality and of course since it opened, two-way communication between manager and employee, it significantly reduces stereotypes The problems and concerns associated with traditional intensive labor
A tag is a reference point for measurement. The term probably comes from the practice of making dimensional height measurements of an object on a desk using a graduated scale or similar tool, and using the surface of the workbench as the origin for measurements .
The benchmarks are designed to imitate a particular type of workload on a component or system. “Synthetic” benchmarks To do this, specially created programs that impose the workload on the component. “Reference application, however, run real programs on real-world system. Milestones although demand usually give a much better measure of real-world performance on a given system, synthetic benchmarks still have their use testing individual components, like a hard drive or network device. Computer manufacturers have a long history of trying to set up their systems to improve performance abnormally high on tests of reference that is not replicated in actual use. For example, during the 1980s some compilers could detect a specific mathematical operation used in a landmark well known to float and replace the operation with a mathematically equivalent operation was much faster. However, such a transformation is rarely useful outside the benchmark. Manufacturers commonly report only those benchmarks (or aspects of benchmarks) that show their products in the best light. They have also been known to mis-represent the importance of benchmarks once again show their products in the best light possible. Taken together, these practices are called bench marketing.
We recommend users to take notes, especially those supplied by the manufacturers themselves, with sufficient quantities of salt. If performance is really critical, the only reference that matters is the workload that the system must be used. If this is not possible, benchmarks that resemble real workloads as closely as possible should be used, even when used with skepticism. It is quite possible for the system A to outperform system B when running the program furble “on workload X (the workload in the benchmark), and the order reversed with the same program on your workload.
• Analysis: —
Benchmarking (comparison) is a selective method of how and why some companies can perform tasks better than other companies. There can be up to ten times the difference in the quality, timeliness and cost-performance of an average firm in relation to a world-class company.
It includes the following seven steps
1) Determine the reference functions.
2) Identify key performance variables to measure.
3) Identify best in class companies.
4) Measure the performance of best-in-class companies
Performance 5) measures the company.
6) Identify programs and actions to reduce the gap
7) Implement and monitor results
A company can identify “best practices” of companies asking employees, customers, suppliers and distributors rates as they do best. Major Consulting firms can also be contacted for this purpose. To keep costs under control, a company should focus primarily on the analysis of these essential tasks that deeply affect customer satisfaction and cost management, where performance is much better known.
Benchmarking is a process used in management and particularly strategic management, in which firms use industry leaders as a model in developing their business practices. The question is where you need improvement, find an organization that is exceptional in this area, then a student of business and apply best practices in your company. Benchmarking systematically absolute best companies, then used their best practices,
