THE BANKING INSTITUTION:-
      Commercial banks are a part of organized money market. They  are classified into scheduled and non-scheduled banks. Commercial banks were first nationalized in 1969.
 Commercial banks and their Development in India:-
            Commercial banks are part of an organized money market in India. Commercial banks mobilize savings in under and rural areas and make them available to large and small industrial and trading units mainly for working capital requirement.
            The organized banking system can be broadly categorized into 3 types.
      Central Bank of country/RBI.
      Commercial Banks.
      Co-operative banks\non-commercial banks.


The reserve bank of India is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the country. One has responsibility to control banking system in the country it keeps the cash reserves of all scheduled banks and hence known as the reserve banks.
Under the RBI act 1934 banks were again classified into scheduled banks and non-scheduled banks.
All commercial banks in India and foreign, regional rural banks, state co-operative banks or scheduled banks. Non scheduled banks are those which has not been included in the second schedule of RBI act 1934. At present there are three non scheduled banks in the country. Scheduled banks divided into co-operative banks and commercial banks. And commercial banks are based on profits, where as co-operative banks are based on co-operative principle.
Process of banking in India:-
          The Indian banking system had gone to a series of crises and consequent bank failures and its growth was quite slow during the first of half of the 20th century. The RBI and all banks nationalized on JULY 1969.
Nationalization of banks:-
          The nationalization of 14 major banks with deposit of rupees 50 crores or more in JULY 1969 was a historic and momentous event in the history of India. In 1980’s again the Govt. Took over other 6 commercial banks all together there are 20 nationalized banks those are additional to the state bank of India and its associates banks commonly called called SBI group which were taken over in 1955.


Some of the changes in commercial banks:-
Branch expansion :-
          Branch expansion received and impetus after nationalization of the commercial banks. The total number of bank offices increased from 8260 in June 1969 to 61059 in June 1993. In 2004 the number branches expended in 67280 since nationalization out of 52799 offices opened over 34500 offices have been setup in the unbanked and rural and semi urban areas.

Credit trends:-

The credit guarantee scheme has been introduced to overcome the difficulties in the way of rapid increase in loans to small borrowers.
Lead bank scheme:-
