 INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN FINANCIAL
SYSTEM

The financial system in India is a sophisticated and well-

coordinated network of organisations, markets, and laws that
promote the movement of money among savers, investors,
borrowers, and financial intermediaries. It is essential to both the
nation's stability and economic growth. Let me give you a brief overview of the Indian financial system:

1. Financial Institutions: There are many different kinds of financial institutions in the Indian
financial system, including:
2. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) are businesses that provide financial services such
as loans and advances, the purchase of shares, stocks, bonds, and debentures, among other things,
but lack a banking licence.
3. Stock Exchanges: Major Indian stock exchanges like the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and
the National Stock Exchange (NSE) make it easier to buy and sell shares and other securities.
4. Reserve Bank of India (RBI): The RBI is the nation's central bank, which oversees monetary
policy as well as currency issuance and supply.
5. Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI): SEBI is in charge of overseeing and regulating
various market players and operations. SEBI is the regulatory agency for the Indian securities
market.
6. Financial Markets: There are several different financial markets in the Indian financial system,
including:
The capital market, which deals with long-term debt and equity securities, makes it easier for investors
to transfer money to businesses and the government.
7. Money Market: The money market facilitates the borrowing and lending of funds on a short-
term basis and deals with short-term debt instruments.
8. Foreign Exchange Market: Also referred to as the forex market, this is where currencies are
exchanged.
The Indian financial system is always changing and adjusting to national and international economic issues. It
is essential for mobilising savings, directing investments, and fostering the nation's economic expansion.
(Indian Financial System , n.d.)
INTRODUCTION TO CHINESE FINANCIAL
SYSTEM

The complex and quickly changing network of institutions, markets, and

regulatory organisations that makes up the Chinese financial system is
essential to the country's continued economic development and
prosperity. Since the late 1970s, China has made considerable changes to its financial system, moving from a
centrally controlled economy to one that is more focused on the market. The following information is based on
the circumstances as of September 2021, however it's crucial to remember that the financial environment could
change in the future.

1) Banking Sector: Large state-owned commercial banks including Industrial and Commercial Bank of
China (ICBC), China Construction Bank (CCB), Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), and Bank of China
dominate the country's banking industry (BOC). These banks act as the main matchmakers between
savers and borrowers, offering services including deposits, loans, and other financial goods. They are
joined by policy banks and smaller commercial banks in this role.
2) Capital Markets: The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE),
China's two main stock exchanges, are where publicly traded corporations can issue shares to raise
money. China's capital markets also feature a bond market and other products like asset-backed
securities in addition to stocks.
3) Securities Regulatory Commission: The regulatory body in charge of monitoring and controlling
China's securities and futures markets is called the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). It
is essential for maintaining market integrity, protecting investors, and ensuring that capital markets
operate as intended.
4) Insurance Sector: In recent years, China's insurance market has experienced both tremendous expansion
and deregulation. It consists of both life and non-life insurance companies that offer protection to people
and businesses against a variety of dangers.
5) Shadow Banking: In addition, there is a sizable shadow banking industry in China's financial system,
which consists of different non-bank financial intermediaries such trust firms, wealth management
services, and internet lending platforms. Although they offer alternatives to traditional banks in terms of
finance and credit, these organisations are nevertheless subject to laxer laws.
6) People's Bank of China (PBOC): The People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, is in charge of
developing and carrying out the nation's monetary policy as well as overseeing financial institutions and
preserving its overall financial stability.
7) Foreign Exchange Market: China operates a tightly controlled foreign exchange market, and the value
of its currency, the Renminbi (RMB), is managed within a certain range by the authorities.
8) Renminbi Internationalization: China has actively promoted the use of its currency, the Renminbi, in
international trade, investments, and financial activities, which has increased the RMB's use throughout
the world. (The Chinese Financial System, n.d.)
 COMPONENTS OF INDIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM

1) Banking Sector: In India, there are many different types of banks, including cooperative banks,
foreign banks, and commercial banks in both the public and private sectors. In addition to
offering a range of financial services like loans, credit facilities, and electronic fund transfers,
they mobilise deposits from both individuals and companies.
2) Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs): Financial organisations known as NBFCs provide
services comparable to those of banks but lack a banking licence. They offer a variety of
financial services and products, including credit, investments, asset financing, and more.
Particularly in regions where traditional banks may not have a sizable presence, NBFCs are
essential in meeting the financial wants of various segments of the populace.
3) Capital Markets: Primary markets and secondary markets make up the Indian capital markets.
Initial public offerings (IPOs) and rights issues enable the issuance of new securities through the
primary market. Stock exchanges like the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National
Stock Exchange (NSE), where existing securities are traded, make up the secondary market.
4) Money Markets: A market for short-term funds is the money market. A timeframe of 364 days
or fewer is considered to be short-term. This means that the entire borrowing and repaying
process happens within 364 days or less. The two types of financing that factories require are
working capital financing and working capital financing to cover everyday expenses including
the procurement of raw materials, paying employee’s wages, paying excise taxes, paying
electricity bills, etc. For a brief time, the first kind of financing is used to finance the production
process. The term “money market” refers to the market where such short-term financing is
obtained and lent.
5) Short-term financial instruments: They are typically investments with maturities of less than one
year, designed to provide liquidity and short-term funding for investors. It's important to note
that the financial landscapes in both countries can change rapidly, so the information below may
not reflect the most current developments. Always consult up-to-date sources for the latest
information.
6) Postal saving bank: Depositors who don't have access to banks can save money in a secure and
practical way with postal savings systems. In order to encourage saving among the
underprivileged, many countries have run banking systems integrating post offices.
7) Financial institution short term: People can arrange a modest sum of money from financial
institutions through a short-term credit facility for purposes like medical emergencies or
company obligations.
8) Housing Finance financial service: Both countries have robust housing finance sectors, but they
operate differently due to variations in their economic systems, policies, and demographics.

COMPARISON AND CONTRAST OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEMS OF INDIA AND

CHINA
1) BANKING SYSTEM- COMMERCIAL BANKS
In China, state-owned banks play a dominant role in the
banking sector. In contrast, India has a mix of public-
sector banks, private-sector banks, and foreign banks.

A] INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), commercial banks,
cooperative banks, and development banks (development
finance institutions) make up India's banking system.
B] CHINESE BANKING SYSTEM
The People's Bank of China (PBOC), the country's central bank with regulatory authority over monetary policy,
and the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) serve as the main pillars on which the country's
banking system is based.

Commercial Banks:
Commercial banks are financial organisations that offer their clients services including loans, CDs, savings
accounts, and overdraft lines of credit. These organisations generate revenue by making loans to private
borrowers and collecting interest. Commercial banks provide a variety of loans, including those for businesses,
automobiles, homes, people, and education.
They fund these loans using deposits made by their customers in different kinds of accounts. Deposits serve as
the capital they employ to extend loans. Commercial banks play a crucial role in the nation's economy through
fostering market liquidity, credit, and capital. These banks are often found in urban areas, however nowadays
you can access the majority of their services. (Commercial Banks , n.d.)

COMPARISON
Scale and Size:
Chinese financial System: With a number of state-owned and commercial banks, China boasts one of the
largest financial systems in the world. The "Big Four" state-owned banks are some of the biggest banks in the
world in terms of total assets: Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction
Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China.
Indian Banking System: Although India's banking system is sizable, it is typically smaller than China's.

Economic Inclusion:
Chinese Banking System: With a concentration on digital financial services, China has made tremendous
progress in opening up access to banking services in both urban and rural areas.
Indian Banking System: With the implementation of programmes like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana
(PMJDY), which aims to give access to basic banking services to all households, India has also undertaken
steps to enhance financial inclusion, particularly in recent years.

NPLs: Non-Performing Loans

Chinese Banking System: The Chinese banking system, notably the state-owned banks, has been struggling
with a sizable quantity of non-performing loans. The stability of the financial industry has been hampered by
the high amount of corporate debt.
Indian Banking System: India's banking system has experienced its own problems with non-performing assets
(NPAs). The nation has been putting measures in place to deal with the problem of bad loans.
technological progress

Chinese Banking System: China has been a leader in implementing cutting-edge technologies in its banking
industry, such as mobile payments, online banking, and digital wallets. The way people make payments in
China has changed thanks to businesses like Alipay and WeChat Pay.
 Indian Banking System: India has seen substantial growth in fintech and digital banking services, with mobile
banking and electronic payments growing in popularity among consumers.

2) Cooperative banks:
The self-help, mutual aid, and democratic decision-making cooperative ideals are the foundation upon
which cooperative banks in India operate. They are made up of people who voluntarily band together to
pool their resources and offer financial services to one another because they have similar financial
needs. These banks are governed by both the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the relevant State
Governments and are registered under the Cooperative Societies Act. In
order to support financial inclusion and meet the banking needs of both
rural and urban areas, cooperative banks are essential.

COMPARISON
1. Ownership and Organisation:
Public Bank of China: Also known as Bank of China (BOC), the Public Bank of China is a state-owned
financial institution in China. It is one of China's "Big Four" state-owned commercial banks and works directly
under Chinese government control.
Cooperative Bank of India: As a cooperative bank, Cooperative Bank of India is run and owned by its
customers. Cooperative banks are created to meet the financial needs of their members, who are typically
people with a shared hobby or line of work.
2. Scale and Size:
Public Bank of China: The Bank of China is one of the biggest banks and most important financial institutions
in the world. With branches in several nations, it has a significant presence both locally and internationally in
China.
Cooperative Bank of India: Cooperative banks in India often have a smaller clientele base than major
international financial institutions like Bank of China. They frequently operate more locally, catering to certain
areas or populations.
3. Governance and Rules:
Public Bank of China: As a state-owned institution, Bank of China is governed strictly by the China Banking
and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC), among other Chinese government agencies.
Cooperative Bank of India: State cooperative bank regulations and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) both
govern cooperative banks in India. They are administered by a board of directors chosen by its members and
function according to cooperative principles.
4. Offerings of Products and Services:
Public Bank of China: A significant commercial bank, Bank of China offers a broad range of financial services,
including investment banking, corporate banking, retail banking, and international banking. It also offers a
number of specialised financial products.
Cooperative Bank of India: Basic banking services like savings accounts, fixed deposits, loans, and remittance
options are commonly provided by cooperative banks in India. They frequently concentrate on meeting the
requirements of their member base, which may be unique to a certain area or community.
5. Regional Impact:
 Public Bank of China: The Bank of China maintains a sizable international presence with branches and
operations in numerous nations in addition to its huge domestic network of branches and subsidiaries.
Cooperative Bank of India: Unlike larger commercial banks, cooperative banks in India typically function only
in the regions they are assigned.
6. Innovation and technology
Public Bank of China: As a significant player in the global banking sector, Bank of China has led the way in
implementing innovative technologies and online banking options.
Cooperative Bank of India: Although they might not be as technologically proficient as larger commercial
banks, cooperative banks in India have been adopting digitalization and technology to improve their
services. (Cooperation banks , n.d.) (Comparison of banking sectors in India and China , n.d.) (People's bank of
china, n.d.)

3) Short term financial markets: A brief comparison of Indian and Chinese Short term
financial markets

1. Regulatory Environment: Indian Short-term Financial Markets: India’s short-term financial markets are
regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The RBI oversees the money market, which includes instruments
like Treasury Bills, Commercial Papers, and Certificates of Deposit. Chinese Short-term Financial Markets:
China’s short-term financial markets are regulated by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC). The PBOC oversees
the money market, including instruments such as government bonds, commercial paper, and short-term
financial instruments issued by banks.

2. Market Size and Maturity: Indian Short-term Financial Markets: The Indian short-term financial market is
relatively smaller compared to its Chinese counterpart. However, it is relatively mature and has developed over
the years, catering to the needs of various market participants. Chinese Short-term Financial Markets: China’s
short-term financial market is one of the largest in the world. As one of the major global economies, China’s
short-term market is highly liquid and diverse, offering various investment opportunities for both domestic and
foreign investors.

3. Currency and Capital Controls: Indian Short-term Financial Markets: The Indian rupee (INR) is the
currency used in the Indian short-term financial markets. India has gradually eased some capital controls over
the years to attract foreign investment, but there are still certain restrictions in place. Chinese Short-term
Financial Markets: The Chinese yuan (CNY) is the currency used in China’s short-term financial markets.
China has been making efforts to internationalize the yuan and open up its financial markets to foreign
investors, but there are still significant capital controls in place.

4. Participation of Foreign Investors: Indian Short-term Financial Markets: Foreign investors can participate
in the Indian short-term financial markets through various routes like Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs),
Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), and Qualified Foreign Investors (QFIs).Chinese Short-term Financial
Markets: China has been gradually opening up its short-term financial markets to foreign investors through
programs like the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) and the Renminbi Qualified Foreign
Institutional Investor (RQFII) schemes. These programs allow qualified foreign investors to access Chinese
money market instruments.

5. Market Efficiency and Transparency: Indian Short-term Financial Markets: The Indian short- term
financial markets have made progress in terms of efficiency and transparency. However, there is still room for
improvement in terms of market infrastructure and transparency of certain instruments. Chinese Short-term
Financial Markets: China’s short-term financial markets have undergone significant reforms to improve
efficiency and transparency. The Chinese government has been taking steps to enhance market mechanisms and
regulatory oversight to attract more foreign participation.

4) Postal savings bank: A brief comparison of Indian and Chinese postal savings bank

1. Nature: The key difference between the two banks is their nature and scale of operations. While IPPB is a
government-owned payment bank focusing on financial inclusion and basic services, PSBC is a full-fledged
commercial bank operating on a larger scale with a broader range of services.

2. Services: IPPB primarily focuses on basic financial services, while PSBC offers a more extensive array of
products, including credit facilities, investment options, and comprehensive banking solutions.

3. Ownership: Both banks are owned by their respective postal authorities (India Post and China Post), but
they serve different purposes and have distinct operational models.

4. Market Presence: While IPPB’s services are concentrated in India, PSBC has a significant presence
throughout China, including rural and urban areas.

5) Money Market

A] Indian Money Market

There are two segments that make up the Indian money market: the organised sector and the unorganised
sector. SBI, RBI, private scheduled commercial banks, foreign exchange banks, cooperative banks, and other
financial institutions are among the banks that make up the organised sector of the Indian Money Market.
Sarrafs, Mahajans, Sahukars, and other participants are, however, a part of the unorganised sector of the Indian
Money Market.

B] Chinese money market

The financial system of China is greatly aided by the Chinese money market, which makes it easier to borrow
and lend money in the short term. With its quick economic development, China has become one of the biggest
and most powerful economies in the world, and its money market is essential for preserving liquidity,
controlling interest rates, and promoting overall financial stability. The central bank of the nation, the People’s
Bank of China (PBOC), is crucial in governing and managing the money market.

COMPARISON
1. Regulatory Framework: The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is in charge of overseeing the Chinese
money market, whereas the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) administers the Indian money market. Both central
banks employ a variety of instruments to carry out monetary policy, regulate liquidity, and control interest
rates.

2. Market Components: Similar financial instruments, such as Treasury Bills, Commercial Paper, Certificates
of Deposit, and Repos, are available in the money markets of both China and India. These instruments serve
similar purposes in short-term borrowing and lending.

3. Market Maturity and Development: In comparison to India, China has a larger and more established
money market as of 2021. China has a wider variety of short-term funding options and has advanced more in
the interest rate liberalisation process. India, on the other hand, has been putting a lot of effort into
strengthening the foundation of its money market, enhancing its transparency, and broadening the selection of
instruments accessible. The Indian money market has been growing gradually, but there is still space for
expansion and improvement.

4. Openness to Foreign Investment: Although there have been efforts to gradually open up the market,
China’s money market has historically been less accessible to foreign investors due to legislative limitations
and capital controls. Despite having some restrictions as well, India’s money market has historically been more
accessible to foreign investors.

5. Economic Size and Influence: China’s money market has a big influence on the world’s financial system as
the second-largest economy in the world. India’s economy is expanding quickly, but its financial sector still
does not have the same global impact as China’s.

6. Role of the Government: The Chinese government has a considerable influence over the financial industry,
particularly the money market. State-owned banks and businesses make up a large portion of the market’s
major players. While the governmental sector is well- represented in the money market in India, the private
sector is equally well-represented.

6) Capital market

The market for long-term financial securities is known as the capital market. It plays a critical role in directing
savings and investments between capital sources, like retail and institutional investors, and users, such
companies, the government, and other entities.

Indian capital market

The capital markets or share markets of India make up a sizeable percentage of the global economy because of
India’s fair share of the global economy. There are two primary categories of capital markets. both the primary
and secondary markets. Companies, governments, or entities from the public sector can raise money in a
primary market by issuing bonds. Additionally, businesses can acquire cash by issuing additional stock through
an initial public offering (IPO). Thus, the party directly purchases shares of a corporation in the primary market.
 Underwriting is the process of offering fresh shares to investors. In the secondary markets, customers purchase
and sell stocks, shares, bonds, and other securities. The NSE, BSE, and other stock exchanges are examples of
secondary capital markets. With the use of modern technology, parties or individuals can buy and sell shares,
bonds, and other securities in these markets.

Chinese capital market

The Chinese capital market is a place where buyers and sellers trade financial instruments like stocks, bonds,
and other long-term investments. It is a crucial component of the nation’s broader economic structure. It has
grown remarkably over the last two decades, paralleling the economy of China’s explosive boom. The
Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) are the two main stock exchanges
that make up the Chinese capital market. Since their beginning in the 1990s, both of these exchanges have
expanded significantly and are now among the largest in the world in terms of market capitalisation.

Comparison

1. Market structure: Retail investors dominate China’s capital market, which increases market volatility and
speculative activity. There are a lot of retail investors in India’s capital market, but institutional investors, like
mutual funds and international institutional investors, dominate the market.

2. Size and Market Capitalization: In terms of market capitalization, China’s capital market is bigger than
India’s. The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange are two of the biggest stock
exchanges in the world. China’s capital market is larger than India’s, which is still considerably smaller. Two of
India’s major stock exchanges are the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and the Bombay Stock
Exchange (BSE).

3. Regulatory Environment: The capital markets in each nation are governed by them individual regulatory
authorities. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates the capital market in India, while the
China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is in charge of China’s capital market.

4. Foreign Investment: Both nations have made efforts to entice foreign investment into them capital markets.
China has worked to make its capital market more accessible to foreign investors through programmes like the
Stock Connect programmes with Hong Kong. Additionally, to promote more institutional foreign investment in
its capital market, India has been gradually relaxing laws.

5. Listing and Disclosure Requirements: Both domestic and foreign firms often face strict listing requirements
in China, and disclosure practises are occasionally viewed as less transparent. The listing standards in India
have evolved over time to be more investor- friendly, with a focus on corporate governance and transparency.

7) Financial Institution Short Term

India:
1. Treasury Bills (T-Bills): Primary markets and secondary markets make up the Indian capital markets.
Initial public offerings (IPOs) and rights issues enable the issuance of new securities through the
 primary market. Stock exchanges like the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock
Exchange (NSE), where existing securities are traded, make up the secondary market.
2. Commercial Paper (CP): A secured money market product known as commercial paper is issued by
businesses, financial institutions, and primary dealers. It normally matures between seven days and a
year. Companies frequently use CPs to raise short-term capital, and they are regularly traded in the
money market.
3. Certificate of Deposit (CD): Banks offer certificates of deposit, which are time deposits with set
maturities from a few weeks to a year. They have a set interest rate and cannot be withdrawn without
paying a penalty before maturity.
4. Repo (Repurchase Agreement): In a repo, which is a short-term borrowing arrangement, one party
sells securities to another with the promise to buy them back at a later date and price. Banks and other
financial organisations frequently employ repos to handle their short-term liquidity requirements.
China:
1. Treasury Bonds: The Chinese government produces short-term Treasury Bonds with maturities of less
than one year, which are comparable to T-Bills in India. They are regarded as very liquid and low-risk.
2. Commercial Paper (CP): Commercial paper is another form of short-term debt issued by businesses
and financial organisations in China's money market. Chinese CPs have maturities of no more than 270
days.
3. Banker's Acceptance (BA): A short-term credit instrument called a "Banker's Acceptance" is used to
finance international trade. It entails a bank agreeing to an instruction to pay a specified sum of money
at a later time.
4. Interbank Deposits: Short-term deposits, such as overnight deposits, one-week deposits, and one-
month deposits, among others, are available on the Chinese interbank market. These deposits aid banks
in controlling their need for liquidity. (Comparision of banking sectors of India and China, n.d.)

8) Housing finance financial service

India:

1. Housing Finance Companies (HFCs): Housing financing services are mostly provided in India by
specialist financial organisations called Housing Finance Companies (HFCs). The National Housing
Bank (NHB), a division of the Reserve Bank of India, oversees these HFCs (RBI).
2. Banks: In addition to HFCs, conventional Indian banks also provide a range of housing financing
products, including home loans and mortgage loans. In the Indian banking industry, home loans are
among the most popular financial products.
3. Government Initiatives: The Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), which aims to provide cheap
housing to all eligible beneficiaries, is one of the housing finance initiatives that the Indian government
has developed to promote affordable housing.
4. Interest Rates: The creditworthiness of the borrower, the loan amount, and the loan term can all
affect the interest rate on a housing loan in India. Borrowers have the option of either fixed or
fluctuating interest rates, depending on their preferred option.
5. Down Payment: Homebuyers in India often need to put down a portion of the home's worth,
with the remaining balance being funded through a housing loan.

China:
 1. Government Involvement: China's government exerts significant influence over the housing finance
industry. In order to control the real estate market, the government is essential in controlling interest
rates, mortgage conditions, and lending practises.
2. State-Owned Banks: State-owned banks in China are the main sources of mortgage lending. These
banks rule the mortgage lending industry and have huge networks.
3. Interest Rates: In the past, the Chinese government has maintained relatively low interest rates to
boost the nation's housing market and overall economic expansion. In some areas, this has raised fears
about real estate bubbles.
4. Mortgage Policies: To curb speculative purchasing and preserve the stability of the real estate market,
the Chinese government places a variety of restrictions on mortgage financing. These regulations cover
loan-to-value ratio restrictions and down payment requirements.
5. Property Ownership: In China, all land is formally owned by the government, and anybody or
anything can only acquire land use rights. This has effects on financing and property ownership.
6. Affordable Housing: In order to address the issue of housing affordability, China has also developed
programmes, with the government offering incentives and subsidies to stimulate the construction of
affordable dwellings. (Housing fianance system in india and china, n.d.)

CONCLUSION

1. Fiscal Model: Indian Financial System: The government and private sectors coexist in India's mixed-
market economy. Public, commercial, cooperative, and foreign banks all make up the financial system. As the
nation's central bank, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) oversees the nation's monetary policy and overall
financial stability. Chinese Financial System: China has a socialist market economy, where the government is
heavily involved in planning and directing the economy. State-owned banks dominate the financial system, and
the Chinese government has significant influence over important facets of the financial industry.

2. Banking Industry: Indian Financial System: India has a diverse banking system that includes
cooperative banks, foreign banks, public sector banks, and private sector banks. In contrast to private sector
banks, which are owned by businesses, public sector banks are owned by the government.
Chinese Financial System: The "Big Four" state-owned commercial banks — Bank of China, Industrial and
Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Agricultural Bank of China — make up the majority
of the country's state-owned banking sector. A sizeable portion of the nation's overall banking assets are held by
these state-owned institutions.

3. Financial Markets: Indian Financial System: The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National
Stock Exchange (NSE) are the two major stock exchanges in India, which has a well-established stock market.
India's capital markets are governed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
 Chinese Financial System: The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange are the two main
exchanges in China, which also has a sizable stock market. The Chinese stock markets are regulated by the
China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).

4. Financial Control: Indian Financial System: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is responsible for banking
and monetary policy, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is in charge of capital markets, and the
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India is in charge of insurance regulation.
Chinese Financial System: China's financial system is governed by a number of regulatory organisations. The
China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) governs the securities and capital markets, while the China
Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC) is in charge of the banking and insurance industries.

5. Foreign capital flows and investment: Indian Financial System: As its financial markets have
progressively become more accessible to foreign investment, India has drawn institutional investors from abroad.
Subject to certain rules, foreign direct investment (FDI) is permitted in a number of industries.
Chinese Financial System: Over the years, China has also drawn a lot of foreign investment. The government
imposes rigorous capital controls on the Chinese financial sector, which can restrict the movement of capital
into and out of the nation.

6. Fintech and Financial Inclusion: Indian Financial System: India has made significant progress
towards financial inclusion, particularly through programmes like the Jan Dhan Yojana, which aims to give all
households access to banking services. Digital payments and financial services have been revolutionised by the
explosive rise of the Indian fintech industry.
Chinese Financial System: In terms of implementing cutting-edge fintech solutions, China has been a global
pioneer, particularly in the areas of mobile payments and digital finance. The way people make payments in
China has changed as a result of businesses like Alipay and WeChat Pay.
