Banking regulation Act of India, 1949 defines banking as: ‘‘accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and with drivable by cheque, draft, and order or otherwise.''

Nationalized (government owned)banks, Private banks
Specialized banking institutions

It is now migrating to a risk-based supervision system, and is charting a road map for transition to the new Basel Capital Accord by March 2007, RBI has played a supportive role to maintain confidence in the banking system.

In order to achieve the social and economic objectives of the country, the banks have to spread out into rural an dun-banked areas and make credit available to the large mass of people in those areas. Therefore, in 1950, the Imperial Bank of India was asked to expand its offices in rural areas and it was brought under government control in July 1955 and renamed State Bank of India.
