STRUCTURE OF BANKS

SCHEDULED BANKS

Scheduled Banks in India refer to those banks which have been included in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. RBI in turn includes only those banks in this Schedule which satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42(6) (a) of the said Act. Banks not under this Schedule are called Non-Scheduled Banks.

Every Scheduled bank enjoys two types of principal facilities: it becomes eligible for debts/loans at the bank rate from the RBI; and, it automatically acquires the membership of clearing house.


Classification:

The Scheduled banks comprise Scheduled Commercial Banks and Scheduled Co-operative banks. The further classification is as follows:

  • Scheduled Commercial banks
  • Public Sector Banks

Ø State Bank of India and its associates, and

Ø Other Nationalized banks

  • Private Sector Indian Banks
  • Private-sector Foreign banks
  • Regional Rural Bank (RRBs)
  • Scheduled Co-operative banks

Ø Scheduled State Co-operative Banks

Ø Scheduled Urban Co-operative Banks

Scheduled Commercial Bank:

The scheduled commercial banks are those banks which are included in the second schedule of RBI Act 1934 and which carry out the normal business of banking such as accepting deposits, giving out loans and other banking services. The major difference between Scheduled Commercial Banks and Scheduled Cooperative Banks is their holding pattern, since cooperatives are registered under the Cooperative Societies Act as cooperative credit institutions.

Previously, there are 27 Public Sector Banks in India including SBI (plus its 5 associates) and 19 nationalized banks. Further, there are two banks which have been categorized by RBI as “Other Public-Sector Banks”. IDBI and Bhartiya Mahila Bank come under this category.

But now, there are 20 Public Sector Banks in India, SBI has merged its Associates Bank & Bhartiya Mahila Bank and 19 Nationalized Banks. And IDBI Bank has been categorized by RBI as “Private Sector Bank” (From April, 2019).
