HISTORY OF INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM
The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and The General Bank of India,
established 1786 and since defunct. The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence, is the
State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost
immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other
two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established
The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India’s
independence, became the State Bank of India in 1955. For many years the presidency banks
acted as quasi- central banks, as did their successors, until the Reserve Bank of India was
established in 1935. In 1955, RBI acquired control on Imperial Bank of India, which was
renamed as State Bank of India. In 1959, SBI took over control of eight private banks floated
in the erstwhile princely states and making them as its 100% subsidiaries.
In 1969 the Indian government nationalized all the major banks that it did not already own and
these have remained under government ownership. They are run under a structure known as
‘profit- making public sector undertaking’ (PSU) and are allowed to compete and operate as
commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is made up of four types of banks, as well as the
PSUs and the state banks; they have been joined since the 1990s by new private commercial
