BANKING SYSTEM IN INDIA
A historical perspective:
We can identify there distinct phases in the history of Indian banking:
1. Early phase from 1786-1969.
2. Nationalization of banks and up to 1991 prior to banking sector reforms.
3. New phase of Indian banking with the advent of financial banking.
Banking in India has its origin as early or Vedic period. It is believed that the transitions
from many lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu
furriest, who has devoted a section of his work to deposit and advances and laid down
rules relating to the rate of interest. During the mogul period, the indigenous banker
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 agency house 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 other which followed was the Bank of Hindustan and
Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906. While other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th century the East India Company
established there banks. The bank of Bengal in 1809, the Bank of Bombay in 1840 and
the Bank of Bombay in 1843. These three banks also known as the Presidency banks
were the independent units and functioned well. These three banks were amalgamated in
1920 and new bank, the Imperial Bank of India was established on 27th
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 SBI. The Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) which is the Central bank was established in April, 1935 by passing Reserve bank
of India act 1935.The Central office of RBI is in Mumbai and it controls all the other
banks in the country.

and to arrive at the net position regarding receipt or payment in order to settle their dues.
Each of these banks maintains an account with „Supervising Bank‟ who settle dues by
debiting or crediting the account of the respective banks. Usually Reserve Bank of India
or State Bank of India or a subsidiary of State Bank of India acts as the supervisor bank.
It is at the place of this bank, which is known as the „clearing house‟ where all the banks‟
representatives meet everyday during specified hours. The RBI has extended „MICR‟
clearing too many cities and some nationalized bank have been made „supervising bank‟.
CLEARING ADJUSTMENT ACCOUNT
This is an account maintained in the General Ledger of the branch to record both debit
and credit differences in respect of clearing transactions. All returns over the counters by
the branches to the other banks and short/excess claims due from other banks are to be
routed through this account only. Entries in respect of return to the clearing house
directly are not to be passed through this account only. No entries except those relating to
clearing transactions are to be passed through this account. Entries in which debit
precedes credit should be specially taken care of. A subsidiary register should be
maintained, wherein details of all debits and credit (also showing balance) passed through
this account is recorded. Follow-up is necessary so that the entries get adjusted within,
say 2 to 3 days. Cheques which are to be re-presented in clearing due to some technical
