INTRODUCTION

Banking is a financial organization that provides banking & other financial facilities to its clients. A bank is usually regarded as an institution providing essential financial services, including accepting deposits and granting loans. There are also non-financial entities that provide some financial services without dealing with the structured clarity of a bank. Banks are part of the demand for financial services. Banking facilities are also considered as a bank-operated network providing cash management services to customers, tracking transactions on their accounts and saving throughout the day. The banking sector in India would not only be protected from challenges, but must be prepared to face up to the existing technical hurdles and any other external and internal factors. India's banking industry has seen several outstanding credit achievements during the last three decades. The banks are main participants in the financial sector of India. The banking offers its clients with a variety of facilities and benefits. Both banks protect resources and reserves and provide savings, protection and payment services, including check cards, money orders & cash checks. Investment and insurance policies are also offered to banks. As a number of partnership and integration frameworks have developed within the financial industries, some of the traditional divisions within banks, insurance companies & brokerage firms have decreased. Despite these changes, banks appear to maintain & perform their key role — recognizing deposits and collecting funds from such deposits.

NEED OF THE BANKS

Before the formation of banks, financial activities were carried out by money lenders & individuals. At the time, the degree of curiosity was quite high. Again, there was no protection of collective savings & no uniformity of loans. The organized banking system, which was exclusively operated by the government, was developed to address these problems. The managed banking sector operates via the finance mechanism to provide loans, collect deposits and provide additional services to its customers. The Bank's following duties highlight the need and importance of the framework: • Provides security to the savings of consumers. • Management of the flow of capital and credit • Promote consumer trust in the workings of the financial sector and raise savings rapidly and effectively. • To prevent the consolidation of financial resources in the possession of a few persons and organizations. • Setting fair terms and requirements (i.e. interest cost, loan length, etc.) for all forms of customers;

Indian financial system is generally classified into 2 broad groups: 1. Organized sector and 2. Unorganized sector. "The finance system is often categorized into consumers of financial services & suppliers. Financial companies offer their services to consumers, corporations and governments. They are users of financial services. The distinctions between these industries are not quite obvious. In the case of financial service suppliers, while financial structures vary from country to nation, there are citizens. i) Central bank ii) Banks iii) Financial institutions iv) Money & capital markets v) Informal financial enterprises.

1. Organized Indian Financial System

The integrated financial structure consists of an extensive network of banks, other financial & investment entities and a number of financial instruments that operate together in newly established capital & money markets. Short-term funds are primarily generated by a commercial & cooperative banking system. Nine-tenth of those banking industry is operated by twenty-eight leading public sector banks. Economic banks, there is a network of national, district & block level cooperative banks & land development banks. With approximately two-thirds of the overall reserves throughout the financial sector, banks play an significant part. Lately, Indian banks have also diversified into fields such as industrial banking, mutual funds, lending and factoring. The following sub-systems are part of the structured financial system: 1. Banking system 2. Cooperative system 3. Development Banking system i. Public sector ii. Private sector 4. Money markets and institutions in India has grown and been widely focused. The framework has been established in three areas-state, cooperative and private. Rural & urban regions are well represented both by the mutual sector & by business entities of national rank

2. Unorganised Financial System

In the other side, the unorganised financial structure consists of comparatively less-controlled money lenders, native merchants, pawn dealers, owners, merchants, etc.

BANKING STRUCTURE IN INDIA

The Indian banking sector consists of 'non-scheduled banks' and 'scheduled banks.' Non-scheduled banks refer to those not specified in the second schedule of the Banking Supervision Act of 1965 or therefore do not comply with the criteria laid down in that scheme. Scheduled banks are made up of "scheduled commercial banks" and scheduled cooperative banks. The former are further categorized into four categories: (1) public sector banks ; (2) private sector banks (which are further classified as 'Established Private Sector Banks' & 'New Private Sector Banks' which arose after 1991); (3) foreign banks in India; &(4) regional rural banks (which operate in India) SBI banks are made up of SBI & five independent capitalized banking branches. The SBI is India's largest commercial bank in terms of income, resources, loans, branches and employees and has 13 offices, each of which is managed by a board of directors under the direction of a central board of directors. It was first founded in 1806 when the Bank of Calcutta (later known as the Bank of Bengal) was created and eventually amalgamated as the Imperial Bank of India after a merger with the Bank of Madras & Bank of Bombay. The Colonial BOI was nationalized in 1955 and renamed SBI. In 1993, the National Bank of Punjab formed another nationalized company, New Organization of India, which led to a reduction in the total number of nationalized banks from 20 to 19. Regional rural banks account for just 4 % of the total reserves of scheduled commercial banks. After the end of March 2001, the number of scheduled banks is as follows: 19 nationalised banks, 8 SBI banks, 23 old private-sector banks, 8 new private-sector banks, 42 multinational banks, 196 regional rural banks and 67 cooperative banks. But the number of commercial banks scheduled for 31 October 2012 in India is as follows: 26 public sector banks, 20 private sector banks.

LITERATURE REVIEW

ODUNLAMI, et. al., 2014 This research was undertaken to investigate the efficacy of the promotional combination in the selling of such pharmaceutical goods in Kenya. The analysis described the different tools embraced by pharmaceutical manufacturers in Kenya. The degree of influence of this method on revenue has been analysed for 42 local companies in Kenya. It has been noticed that the integrated structure of the integration of promotional methods has just been developed and that the sales promotion method is successful. As such, it is a critical aspect of the acceptance of the marketing campaign. The research also considered that the preparation of the movement of operations engaged in the promotion would culminate in the strategic decision-making phase. The results recommended that people, networks and stakeholders ought to recognise and provide full knowledge on the resources involved to maximise benefit. This can be regarded to be valuable knowledge for the growth of the sector. KAMBA, 2010 The report centred on the efficacy and policy of the insurance sector in India. The study gave insight into the diverse partnerships in ads as a method for recognizing and observing how insurance firms became thinking with the same issue. The calculation and impact of such an advertising is essential for the development of the company, for the recall of the company and, ultimately, for the decision on the option to be made with regard to the insurance policy. He listed numerous media in television, radio, internet, website, news, pamphlets and other promotional resources for increasing visibility, informing and reminding of the benefits of the life insurance policy. He also clarified the IRDA guidelines, and it was observed that some ads that transmitted the insurance message as a critical financial tool were strongly desired. The reply liked the commercial, which had an emotional appeal. Estevez, et al., 2014 The purchasing choice involved in taking a life insurance policy relies on a number of variables that affect, evaluate and assess products and benefits in the life insurance scenario. The researcher addressed the different sources that affect the conduct of decision-making. It is a product of knowledge, demand and intensification of repurchase. The outcome of the analysis was that the purchasing decision was largely based on the demographic profile, the desire for the commodity, the alternative available for repurchase and the broad variety of impact friends and family, insurance provider websites, insurance brokers, media, TV , radio, ads and other written content. Awareness and protection details still have a critical function to play. (Jotti, 2012) SAHAR GHARIBI, et al., 2012 The key purpose of this paper is to explain the effects and efficacy of ads using a method named AIDA. He tried this model on a private life insurance firm in Tehran. The assessment of the efficacy of the promotional strategy is critical in order to help assess the promotional expenditure, to provide guidance on the success of the different promotional alternatives and to ensure that the contact goal has been accomplished. The efficacy of the different contact and interpersonal communication variables, such as letter, media, influence on buying decision-making, can be assessed by pre-and post-testing, as well as numerous quantitative, empirical and survey related communication strategies. Any of the evaluation methods include awareness, memory, and effect on awareness, decision-making. Behavioral measurement is appropriate for evaluating brand advertising techniques, targeted marketing and personal revenue.
