INTRODUCTION
Banking in India
Banking in India has its origin as early as the Vedic period. It is believed that the transition from money lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu Jurist, who has devoted a section of his work to deposits and advances and laid down rules relating to rates of interest. During the Mugal period, the indigenous bankers 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 the agency houses 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 others, which followed, were the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906 while the other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th century the East India Company established three banks; the Bank of Bengal in 1809, the Bank of Bombay in 1840 and the Bank of Madras in 1843.

These three banks also known as Presidency Banks were independent units and functioned well. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and a new bank, the Imperial Bank of India was established on 27 th 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 State Bank of India. The Reserve Bank which is the Central Bank was created in 1935 by passing Reserve Bank of India Act 1934. In the wake of the Swadeshi Movement, a number of banks with Indian management were established in the country namely, Punjab National Bank Ltd, Bank of India Ltd, Canara Bank Ltd, Indian Bank Ltd, the Bank of Baroda Ltd, the Central Bank of India Ltd. On July 19, 1969, 14 major banks of the country were nationalised and in 15 th April 1980 six more private sector commercial banks were also taken over by the government.

RETAIL LENDING IS BLESSING OR CURSE FOR THE BANKS?

Retail lending is a boon for the banks due to the following facts: It gives higher return. It is easy to sanction & disburse. Since no expertise is required. Chances of going the account is are remote. Due to diversified and large number of account with smaller loan amount, credit risk is not very high. Follow up is easy and inexpensive. However retail lending may be prove to be bane if the banks dont observe discipline & precaution in appraising the proposals and also because of lack of follow up. So suggestions for follow up in retail lending are as following. Before sanctioning of any loan under the retail lending scheme, branch officer should invariably visit the residence or the work place of the applicant to avoid impersonification / fraud. Repaying capacity is the most important factor in these type of schemes. So before lending the loan repaying capacity should be checked. Since in most of the cases the money is lend for unproductive purpose cant repay any amount.
38

 Contribution of the applicant should be adequate.

Securities in the account should be properly valued and adequate to cover the loan amount. Branch manager should have list of telephone number of the borrowers, so that the borrower may be contacted in case of any default in paying the loan installment. The last but not the least is the quick reminder to the borrower whether on phone, by letter or by personal visit in case term loan installments are not received from them. So from the firm view that if above points are kept in mind before appraising any proposal of retail lending , than retail lending can be proved to be most profitable business for the bank.
