Chapter 2 INTERNET BANKING Internet:INTRODUCTION: There is a sea change in the media world. While most consumers see the news papers, the same magazines and listen to the same radio programs, behind this bland public exterior there is a seething world of innovation, acquisition, global partnership and divorces, births and deaths… all of it most readily interpreted as the inevitable result of the technological revolution that is in the process of merging telephones, computers, televisions in to a single all singing, all dancing magic kit that will, very possible, change all of our lives more than we can imagine some day There are 2 ways you can respond to this 1 is to panic, which may mean simply curling up in a corner and wishing that it would all go away. The other is to embrace the new religion with messianic fervor and go out to proclaim the millennium. I welcome you to the new emerging world of the Info-High-Way, destined to redefine the world of communications:

HISTORY: It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. And true, it is seeds of Internet were sown in the ashes of the world war Having bombed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, US military was forced to provide the answer to the question – What if someone bombed the USA? So for many years after the war, most of the US military research concentrated on ways and means to survive the nuclear holocaust. And one of the most important strategic problems was- “How would us authorities communicate with each other in the aftermath of a nuclear attack?” computers were already there. But, communication networks were connected to each in a private fashion- in sort of chains: somewhat like an electricity line to your home. This means that if even one chain in the middle were blown up, the whole network would collapse. Then in the 1960‟s the problem was taken by America‟s foremost military think tank, the Rand Corporation. After a lot of ideas were put up and knocked down, Paul baron- a rand “thinker” hit upon an idea. “What if the network was not built like a chain but like a fish net?” he said. If one strand on the fish net broke the net would still be functional. After spending many agonizing hours over it, he came up with 11volume report for the pentagon. But, as fate would have it was rejected. By then, young engineers were impressed by the idea and worked on it. Well before the end of the decade, the first net was created and called

Internet as a communication medium and as a repository of information has caught the imagination of computer users. unparalleled growth in the number of Internet users. This has fuelled an

VARIOUS PARTS OF INTERNET: -

The Internet is made up of terminal computers through which subscribers access the net; gateways servers which connect the users to the rest of the network (of computers); servers which host information in them; and, the communication network over which data actually flows. Internet offers its users a variety of services. The subscribers may have access to all or any of the following services depending upon the type of connection that one has subscribed for: 1) E-Mail 2) World Wide Web (WWW) 3) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) 4) Telnet

The net banking, thus, now is more of a norm rather than an exception in many developed countries due to the fact that it is the cheapest way of providing banking services. Internet banking refers to the use of the Internet as a remote delivery channel for banking services. Such services include traditional ones, such as opening a deposit account or transferring funds among different accounts, and new banking services, such as electronic bill presentment and payment (allowing customers to receive and pay bills on a bank‟s Web site). Banks offer Internet banking in two main ways. An existing bank with physical offices can establish a Web site and offer Internet banking to its customers as an addition to its traditional delivery channels. A second alternative is to establish a “virtual,” “branchless,” or “Internet-only” bank. The computer server that lies at the heart of a virtual bank may be housed in an office that serves as the legal address of such a bank, or at some other location. Virtual banks may offer their customers the ability to make deposits and withdraw funds via ATMs or other remote delivery channels owned by other institutions. The impact of E-transaction and authentication issues in banking It's hardly great news that there has been tremendous growth in the use of the Internet and other electronic facilities to process financial transactions. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.,

transactional Web sites have more than doubled each year for the past six years, growing from one in 1995 to nearly 2,500 in 2000. This growth is a reflection of the fact that over the past few years, financial leaders have been considering various ways in which to allow their customers to transact business using the Internet. This objective is now reaching beyond the financial services industry into non-electronic business segments, such as the building supply industry. Furthermore, this growth is likely to continue to climb as the number of Internet users, Internet connection speed, and the number of transactional Web sites continues to increase. The number of adults using PC banking is also growing. With this growth, there is an increased awareness of the benefits of using online transaction processing, thereby fueling the thought that all business should be electronically facilitated. Gartner predicts that worldwide business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce will total $3.6 trillion by 2003 and $8.5 trillion in 2005. Online financial activity had a slower start, but has had steady growth, from 6 million users in 1998 to 27.5 million users in 2000. During 2000, only 30 percent of the Internet-capable households were using some form of Internet banking, indicating that there is tremendous room for increased use. The e-Commerce Value Chain Consider that the consumer and the merchant are on either ends of the electronic commerce value chain, with the authentication network and transaction processor (bank) in the middle. Banks have traditionally been

the trusted agents, have the largest customer base, and have received the initial benefits from electronic commerce. Value has begun a steady migration to the ends of the value chain. Customers can receive and pay bills from one point using products from multiple issuers. Merchants can influence and enhance the consumer experience by providing innovative and time-saving means of doing business. Merchants can add value to the payment process, for example, by offering discounted prices for electronic payment. Merchants can also reduce their costs by receiving electronic payments, which results in reducing and sometimes eliminating the need for data entry, as well as reducing the error rate and the time to investigate and correct the data. By increasing and effectively managing cash flow, merchants may also be able to reduce costs associated with lines of credit.

Digital Signatures On October 1, 2000, the Electronic Signatures in National and Global Commerce Act was signed. This act states that an agreement, contract, or transaction signed electronically is enforceable in a court of law. Accordingly, financial services institutions can now legally transact business using electronic signatures, allowing transactions such as mortgages, funds transfers, opening and closing of accounts, benefits enrollment, and beneficiary designations to occur in an electronic environment. The law defines an electronic signature as "an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record." Fortunately, the legislation does not attempt to define acceptable technologies except to indicate that the technologies must be mutually acceptable to the transacting parties. Since a valid signature can be as simple as a digital image of a signature (enabled through an electronic pen and pad) or as complex as today's public key infrastructure (PKI) and associated encryption methods, the technology decision maker must define relevant business objectives and understand the risks, such as cost and unauthorized use associated with alternative implementations. There are possible additional benefits to the implementing organization. These include reduced transaction timelines, reduction in paper

processing costs, facilitation of customer migration to the Internet as a business channel, and increased online transaction security. When compared to physical signatures, e-signature technologies are, in general, a more secure authentication method. Many financial institutions are studying the possible implementation of a public key infrastructure (PKI) system that will allow them to exchange electronic information securely with unknown parties. PKI is the delivery channel for public key cryptography, a method that allows the parties to a transaction to keep a communication private through the use of a two-part key made up of public and private components. To encrypt messages, the published public keys of the recipients are used. To decrypt the messages, the recipients use their unpublished private keys, known only to them. Quite simply, if the signer's private key is not compromised, which can happen by releasing the password or allowing access to the device containing the private key, a document cannot be digitally signed

What Is Internet Banking?
Internet Banking System is a system that has been developed in order to help clients with the daily day-to-day transactions. Internet banking systems means that clients can now do banking at the leisure of their homes. Also known as online banking, the system allows both transactional and non-transactional features. Online banking or internet banking allows customers to conduct financial transactions on a secure website operated by the retail or virtual bank

History The term online banking was first started in 80‟s. The term online became popular in the late '80s and referred to the use of a terminal, keyboard and TV (or monitor) to access the banking system using a phone line. „Home banking‟ can also refer to the use of a numeric keypad to send tones down a phone line with instructions to the bank. Online services started in New York in 1981 when four of the city‟s major banks (Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Chemical and Manufacturers
Hanover) offered home banking services using the videotext system.

Because of the commercial failure of videotex these banking services never became popular except in France where the use of videotex

(Minitel) was subsidized by the telecom provider and the UK, where the
Prestel system was used.

The UK‟s first home online banking services was set up by the
Nottingham Building Society (NBS) in 1983 .The system used was based

on the UK's Prestel system and used a computer, such as the BBC Micro, or keyboard (Tandata Td1400) connected to the telephone system and television set. The system (known as 'Home link') allowed on-line viewing of statements, bank transfers and bill payments. In order to make bank transfers and bill payments, a written instruction giving details of the intended recipient had to be sent to the NBS who set the details up on the Home link system. Typical recipients were gas, electricity and telephone companies and accounts with other banks. Details of payments to be made were input into the NBS system by the account holder via Prestel. A cheque was then sent by NBS to the payee and an advice giving details of the payment was sent to the account holder. BACS was later used to transfer the payment directly. Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in Oct, 1994. Later on it was adopted by worldwide banks

History of State bank of India:State Bank of India (SBI) is that country's largest commercial bank. The government-controlled bank--the Indian government maintains a stake of nearly 60 percent in SBI through the central Reserve Bank of India-also operates the world's largest branch network, with more than 13,500 branch offices throughout India, staffed by nearly 220,000 employees. SBI is also present worldwide, with seven international subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, Nepal, Bhutan, Nigeria, Mauritius, and the United Kingdom, and more than 50 branch offices in 30 countries. Long an arm of the Indian government's infrastructure, agricultural, and industrial development policies, SBI has been forced to revamp its operations since competition was introduced into the country's commercial banking system. As part of that effort, SBI has been rolling out its own network of automated teller machines, as well as developing anytime-anywhere banking services through Internet and other technologies. SBI also has taken advantage of the deregulation of the

Indian banking sector to enter the, assets management, and securities brokering sectors. In addition, SBI has been working on reigning in its branch network, reducing its payroll, and strengthening its loan portfolio. In 2003, SBI reported revenue of $10.36 billion and total assets of $104.81 billion. The establishment of the British colonial government in India brought with it calls for the formation of a Western-style banking system, if only to serve the needs and interests of the British imperial government and of the European trading houses doing business there. The creation of a national banking system began at the beginning of the 19th century. The first component of what was later to become the State Bank of India was created in 1806, in Calcutta. Called the Bank of Calcutta, it was also the country's first joint stock company. Originally established to serve the city's interests, the bank was granted a charter to serve all of Bengal in 1809, becoming the Bank of Bengal. The introduction of Westernstyle banking instituted deposit savings accounts and, in some cases, investment services. The Bank of Bengal also received the right to issue its own notes, which became legal currency within the Bengali region. This right enabled the bank to establish a solid financial foundation, building an interest-free capital base. The spread of colonial influence also extended the scope of government and commercial financial influence. Toward the middle of the century, the imperial government created two more regional banks. The Bank of

Bombay was created in 1840, and was soon joined by the Bank of Madras in 1843. Together with the Bank of Bengal, they became known as the "presidency" banks. All three banks were operated as joint stock companies, with the imperial government holding a one-fifth share of each bank. The remaining shares were sold to private subscribers and, typically, were claimed by the Western European trading firms. These firms were represented on each bank's board of directors, which was presided over by a nominee from the government. While the banks performed typical banking functions, for the Western firms and population and members of Indian society, their main role was to act as a lever for raising loan capital, as well as help stabilize government securities. The charters backing the establishment of the presidency banks granted them the right to establish branch offices. Into the second half of the century, however, the banks remained single-office concerns. It was only after the passage of the Paper Currency Act in 1861 that the banks began their first expansion effort. That legislation had taken away the presidency banks' authority to issue currency, instead placing the issuing of paper currency under direct control of the British government in India, starting in 1862. Yet that same legislation included two key features that stimulated the growth of a national banking network. On the one hand, the presidency banks were given the responsibility for the new currency's management

and circulation. On the other, the government agreed to transfer treasury capital backing the currency to the banks--and especially to their branch offices. This latter feature encouraged the three banks to begin building the country's first banking network. The three banks then launched an expansion effort, establishing a system of branch offices, agencies, and sub-agencies throughout the most populated regions of the Indian coast, and into the inland areas as well. By the end of the 1870s, the three presidency banks operated nearly 50 branches among them. The rapid growth of the presidency banks came to an abrupt halt in 1876, when a new piece of legislation, the Presidency Banks Act, placed all three banks under a common charter--and a common set of restrictions. As part of the legislation, the British imperial government gave up its ownership stakes in the banks, although they continued to provide a number of services to the government, and retained some of the government's treasury capital. The majority of that, however, was transferred to the three newly created Reserve Treasuries, located in Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. The Reserve Treasuries continued to lend capital to the presidency banks, but on a more restrictive basis. The minimum balance now guaranteed under the Presidency Banks Act was applicable only to the banks' central offices. With branch offices no longer guaranteed a minimum balance backed by government funds, the banks ended development of their networks. Only the Bank of Madras

continued to grow for some time, supplied as it was by the influx of capital from development of trade among the region's port cities. The loss of the government-backed balances was soon compensated by India's rapid economic development at the end of the 19th century. The building of a national railroad network launched the country into a new era, seeing the rise of cash-crop farming, a mining industry, and widespread industrial development. The three presidency banks took active roles in financing this development. The banks also extended their range of services and operations, although for the time being was excluded from the foreign exchange market. By the beginning of the 20th century, India's banking industry boasted a host of new arrivals, and particularly foreign banks authorized to exchange currency. The growth of the banking sector, and the development of indigenous banks, in turn created a need for a larger "bankers' bank." At the same time, the Indian government had outgrown its colonial background and now required a more centralized banking institution. These factors led to the decision to merge the three presidency banks into a new, single and centralized banking institution, the Imperial Bank of India. Created in 1921, the Imperial Bank of India appeared to inaugurate a new era in India's history--culminating in its declaration of independence from the British Empire. The Imperial Bank took on the role of central bank for the Indian government, while acting as a

bankers' bank for the growing Indian banking sector. At the same time, the Imperial Bank, which, despite its role in the government financial structure remained independent of the government, carried on its own commercial banking operations. In 1926, a government commission recommended the creation of a true central bank. While some proposed converting the Imperial Bank into a central banking organization for the country, the commission rejected this idea and instead recommended that the Imperial Bank be transformed into a purely commercial banking institution. The government took up the commission's recommendations, drafting a new bill in 1927. Passage of the new legislation did not occur until 1935, however, with the creation of the Reserve Bank of India. That bank took over all central banking functions. The Imperial Bank then converted to full commercial status, which accordingly allowed it to enter a number of banking areas, such as currency exchange and trustee and estate management, from which it had previously been restricted. Despite the loss of its role as a government banking office, the Imperial Bank continued to provide banking services to the Reserve Bank, particularly in areas where the Reserve Bank had not yet established offices. At the same time, the Imperial Bank retained its position as a bankers' bank. By then, India had achieved its independence from Britain. In 1951, the new government launched its first Five Year Plan, targeting in particular

the development of the country's rural areas. The lack of a banking infrastructure in these regions led the government to develop a stateowned banking entity to fill the gap. As part of that process, the Imperial Bank was nationalized and then integrated with other existing government-owned banking components. The result was the creation of the State Bank of India, or SBI, in 1955. The new state-owned bank now controlled more than one-fourth of India's total banking industry. That position was expanded at the end of the decade, when new legislation was passed providing for the takeover by the State Bank of eight regionally based, government-controlled banks. As such the Banks of Bikaner, Jaipur, Indore, Mysore, Patiala, Hyderabad, Saurashtra, and Travancore became subsidiaries of the State Bank. Following the 1963 merger of the Bikaner and Jaipur banks, their seven remaining subsidiaries were converted into associate banks. In the early 1960s, the State Bank's network already contained nearly 500 branches and sub-offices, as well as the three original head offices inherited from the presidency bank era. Yet the State Bank now began an era of expansion, acting as a motor for India's industrial and agricultural development that was to transform it into one of the world's largest financial networks. Indeed, by the early 1990s, the State Bank counted nearly 15,000 branches and offices throughout India, giving it the world's single largest branch network.

SBI played an extremely important role in developing India's rural regions, providing the financing needed to modernize the country's agricultural industry and develop new irrigation methods and cattle breeding techniques, and backing the creation of dairy farming, as well as pork and poultry industries. The bank also provided backing for the development of the country's infrastructure, particularly on a local level, where it provided credit coverage and development assistance to villages. The nationalization of the banking sector itself, an event that occurred in 1969 under the government led by Indira Gandhi, gave SBI new prominence as the country's leading bank. Even as it played a primary role in the Indian government's industrial and agricultural development policies, SBI continued to develop its commercial banking operations. In 1972, for example, the bank began offering merchant banking services. By the mid-1980s, the bank's merchant banking operations had grown sufficiently to support the creation of a dedicated subsidiary, SBI Capital Markets, in 1986. The following year, the company launched another subsidiary, SBI Home Finance, in collaboration with the Housing Development Finance Corporation. Then in the early 1990s, SBI added subsidiaries SBI Factors and Commercial Services, and then launched institutional investor services. SBI was allowed to dominate the Indian banking sector for more than two decades. In the early 1990s, the Indian government kicked off a

series of reforms aimed at deregulating the banking and financial industries. SBI was now forced to brace itself for the arrival of a new wave of competitors eager to enter the fast-growing Indian economy's commercial banking sector. Yet years as a government-run institution had left SBI bloated--the civil-servant status of its employees had encouraged its payroll to swell to more than 230,000. The bureaucratic nature of the bank's management left little room for personal initiative, nor incentive for controlling costs. In 1994, the bank hired consulting group McKinsey & Co. to help it restructure its operations. McKinsey then led SBI through a massive restructuring effort that lasted through much of the decade and into the beginning of the next, an effort that helped SBI develop a new corporate culture focused more on profitability than on social and political policy. SBI also stepped up its international trade operations, such as foreign exchange trading, as well as corporate finance, export credit, and international banking. SBI had long been present overseas, operating some 50 offices in 34 countries, including full-fledged subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the United States, and elsewhere. In 1995 the bank set up a new subsidiary, SBI Commercial and International Bank Ltd., to back its corporate and international banking services. The bank also extended its international network into new markets such as Russia, China, and South Africa.

Back home, in the meantime, SBI began addressing the technology gap that existed between it and its foreign-backed competitors. Into the 1990s, SBI had yet to establish an automated teller network; indeed, it had not even automated its information systems. SBI responded by launching an ambitious technology drive, rolling out its own ATM network, then teaming up with GE Capital to issue its own credit card. In the early 2000s, the bank began cross-linking its banking network with its ATM network and Internet and telephone access, rolling out "anytime, anywhere" banking access. By 2002, the bank had succeeded in networking its 3,000 most profitable branches. The implementation of new technology helped the bank achieve strong profit gains into the early years of the new century. SBI also adopted new human resources and retirement policies, helping trim its payroll by some 20,000, almost entirely through voluntary retirement in a country where joblessness remained a decided problem. By the beginning of 2004, SBI appeared to be well on its way to meeting the challenges offered by the deregulated Indian banking sector. In a twist, the bank had become an aggressor into new territories, launching its own line of banc assurance products, and also initiating securities brokering services. In the meantime, SBI continued its technology rollout, boosting the number of networked branches to more than 4,000 at the end of 2003. SBI promised to remain a central figure in the Indian banking sector as it entered its third century.

Chapter IV Internet banking at State Bank of India Where SBI was?  In early 1990‟s more than 7000 branches were using traditional manual procedures.  These manual procedures were inherited from the Imperial Bank.  Traditional procedures were evolved over decades  Very few changes were brought in those procedures as per the need of time.  In that time, mainframe or mini computers were used for MIS, RECONCILLATION & FUND SETTLEMENT PROCESS, or we can say that for backhand operations purpose.

Changes brought in Information Technology by SBI: In the next decade internet facility was provided for individuals  All SBI branches were connected and ATM‟S were launch  2001 - KMPG appointed consultant for preparing IT Plan for the Bank.  Later on Core banking proposed by the IT consultancy company.

 2002 – All branches computerized but on decentralized systems, there the initiative of core banking took place  2008- more than 6500 branches (95% of business) on Core

Banking Solution (CBS)  Internet Banking facility for Corporate customers were also launched in early 2008  More Interfaces developed with e-Commerce & other sites through alternate channels like ATM & Online Banking  All Foreign Offices were brought on Centralized Solution  Large network is playing the role of backbone for connectivity across the country  Multiple Service Providers are providing the links – BSNL, MTNL, Reliance, Tata & reliance which are making the system errorless and provide high speed.  Multiple Technologies to support the networking infrastructure – Leased lines, Dial-up, CDMA & VSAT
