In today's world, the people can park there hard earned money in banks and financial institutions without worrying much about the safety of the invested funds. We all are enjoying the full benefits by utilizing the various schemes offered by various banking institutions present in the country which our forefathers were unheard of. In the earlier years, there was no regular system which permitted people to safeguard the money and mostly used to treasure the money in their own houses.

 
Nationalized Banks: List of Government Banks in India

The concept of the banking system in India was developed during the British era. The British East India Company has to its credit establishing three banks in India namely Bank of Bengal during 1809, Bank of Bombay in 1840 and Bank of Madras in 1843. All these three banks were amalgamated and the Imperial Bank came into existence which was further taken over by SBI during 1955.

 

Now let's understand the concept of a bank.

What is a Bank?

A Bank is a financial institution which is licensed to receive the deposits and lend loans to the needy. The banks also perform other functions in the form of currency exchange, wealth management, financial service, safe deposit boxes and so on.

The main function of a bank apart from receiving deposits and lending money to businesses and individuals involves disbursing payments, safeguarding money and investing the funds in securities.

Categorization of Banking Sector

In India, the banking sector is categorized into two broad categories namely scheduled and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled banks come under the second schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934.

The list of scheduled banks in India are further categorized into

• Nationalized Banks
• Foreign Banks
• Regional Rural Banks
• State Bank of India and its associates and
• Other Private Sector Banks

What is a Nationalized Bank?

Nationalization refers to the transfer of public sector assets to be operated or owned by the state or central government. In India, the banks which were previously functioning under private sector were transferred to the public sector by the act of nationalization and thus the nationalized banks came into existence.

The history of banking in India states that the post-independence, the Government of India initiated various measures to play an active role in the economic development of the nation which resulted in the establishment of the Reserve Bank of India in April 1935 and later nationalized the same during 1949 under the terms of the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1948 and another measure is the nationalization of banks in India.

Post-independence, the Indian government adopted a planned economic development for the betterment of the country. The government of India under the leadership of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi issued an ordinance to nationalize 14 largest commercial banks in India with effect from July 19, 1969, under the regulatory authority of the Reserve Bank of India. These 14 banks contained up to 85 percent of bank deposits in the country and most of them were privately owned. During 1980, 6 more commercial banks followed the suit and came under nationalized cover. Till the 1990s, their growth grew at a snail's pace of around 4% annually.

During early 1990's, the government of India adopted the policy of liberalization and licensed a small number of private banks in the country which helped for the rapid growth of the economy of India.

Reasons for the Nationalization of Banks

• For Social Welfare
• For Developing Banking Habits
• For Expansion of Banking Sector
• For Controlling Private Monopolies
• To Reduce Regional Imbalance
• For Prioritizing Sector Lending
