➢Literature Review:
• Suoranta and Mattila indicated that mobile banking is among the most recent
financial channel today. Several authors have further identified the benefits of
mobile banking in terms of ubiquity coverage, flexibility, interactivity, and with
greater accessibility compared to conventional banking channels such as
Automated Teller Machine (ATM), and non-mobile banking
• In the UK, mobile banking is considered to be one of the most value-added and
important mobile services available (Kelly, 2003). However, the adoption rate is
yet to be determined. The study examined both innovative attributes and
customers‘ perceived risk in order to understand customers‘ behavior and
motivation toward this innovation. The findings were found to be helpful to the
bankers.
• A Study conducted by Uppal R.K. (Uppal, Feb. 2008) studies the extent of
mobile banking in Indian banking industry during 2000-2007. The study
concludes that among all e-channels, ATM is the most effective while mobile
banking does not hold a strong position in public and old private sector but in
new private sector banks and foreign banks m-banking is good enough with
nearly 50 pc average branches providing m-banking services. M-banking
customers are also the highest in e-banks which have positive impact on net
profits and business per employee of these banks. Among all, foreign banks are
on the top position followed by new private sector banks in providing m-banking
services and their efficiency is also much higher as compared to other groups.
The study also suggests some strategies to improve m-banking services.

SBI has yet to computerize its operations and network all its branches. The computers
currently available serve only to relieve the burden of the clerical staff of maintaining
manual ledgers and not to penetrate into areas of customer service. ATMs, Anytime-

Privatization and Credit disbursement: Talks about privatization of the bank‘s
ownership have been initiated but the SBI act of 1955 does not permit RBI‘s
ownership to be diluted to below 55%. This act is outdated and needs to be re-
addressed. However, efforts have been initiated by SBI to privatize its non –
banking subsidiaries like SBI Caps, SBI Gilts, SBI Funds Management, where
SBI‘s holding is about 85% of the equity. But the pace has to be hastened so that
investments thus released can migrate to more important areas like development
of new technologies and products in customer service and service intensive

Industry services
The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-
stock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to
allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public
revenues within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very
valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay
and Madras. It meant an accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital on which the
proprietors did not have to pay any interest. The concept of deposit banking was also an
innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in some
cases, even investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not
spread as a general habit in most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially up
to the time that the three presidency banks had a right of note issue, bank notes and
government balances made up the bulk of the invertible resources of the banks. The
three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.
Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed
and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of
directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors
representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were
government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the
president of the board.
A major change in the conditions of operation of the Banks of Bengal, Bombay and
Madras occurred after 1860. With the passing of the Paper Currency Act of 1861,
the right of note issue of the presidency banks was abolished and the Government
of India assumed from 1 March 1862 the sole power of issuing paper currency within
British India. The task of management and circulation of the new currency notes was
conferred on the presidency banks and the Government undertook to transfer the
Treasury balances to the banks at places where the banks would open branches.
None of the three banks had till then any branches (except the sole attempt and that
too a short-lived one by the Bank of Bengal at Mirzapore in 1839) although the
charters had given them such authority. But as soon as the three presidency bands
Imperial Bank The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence
recorded an impressive growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and
advances, the increases in some cases amounting to more than six-fold. The advances,
the increases in some cases amounting to more than six-fold. The financial status and
security inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided a firm and durable platform.
But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained and
the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its
depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the
Imperial Bank to acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also
secure a vital place in the country's economic life. Stamp of Imperial Bank of India
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves)
