ABSTRACT
Given that India has an extensive network of bank branches in rural areas established
by commercial banks, the main rationale for concern about the parallel rural banking system
is provided by its implications for financial inclusion. Within the Indian financial sector, the
role of the rural banks is important but not apparently pre-eminent. The rural banking system
is clearly more inclusive of low income families than those provided by the commercial
banks. Yet rural banks have, for a number of years, been regarded as the step-child of the
banking system in India. This paper discusses development of internet banking in rural areas.
The applications of internet banking of several rural consumers in rural areas are investigated
and examined. The research objective is to investigate the opportunity of using internet
banking in the new generation of rural area. Focusing on some emerging trends in rural
banking.
Keywords: Internet Banking, Rural banking, Rural Consumer,
1. Introduction
Reforms to the Indian financial sector over the past 15 years have resulted in significant
growth and availability of financial services. These have unleashed increased competition,
diversification of financial services and wider capital markets enabled by regulatory
liberalization along with more stringent prudential regulation and better supervision. Yet
substantial proportions of the population continue to be deprived of financial services.
The Rural Financial Access Survey (RFAS) found that 59% of rural households in Uttar
Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh do not have deposit or savings accounts with the formal
financial sector and 79% do not have access to credit from a formal source. As a separate
group, 87% of marginal farmers and 70% of small farmers have no formal credit while
70% of marginal farmers and 45% of small farmers do not have deposit or savings
accounts with a formal financial institution. Within the Indian financial sector, the role of
the rural banks is important but not apparently pre-eminent. Of all the bank branches in the
country, 49% are classified as rural branches while another 30% are regarded as semiurban. While rural branches clearly serve people who might otherwise be excluded from
the financial system, semi-urban branches are also of importance for the outreach of
financial services to the urban poor.
Now days banks are constantly searching for ways to improve profitability. On the face
of the twenty first century global economy banks service delivery practices are
significantly changing to get hold of advantages encapsulate in the new technologies.

However, the degree of e-banking proliferation in rural settings is unarguably under


researched to date. The contemporary market environments require the formulation of
strategies which curtails and synthesizes the reinforcement of all the accessible
modern technologies available to the firm repudiating modest technological instruments
which are fitting for ecommerce on the consumers side has been escalating. For instance,
ownership and awareness of the internet and computers is wildly increasing amongst
households, businesses and government departments. With this proliferation of internet
expansion and computers usage, the electronic delivery of banking service has
become ideal for banks to meet customers expectations Last month, SBI tied up with Airtel
and BSNL to launch mobile money transfer in India. 67.28 percent of its total 12,207
branches are present in rural and semi urban areas and the bank has plans to launch 1200
biometric ATMs in rural areas.
1.1 Dynamics of rural economy
Problems, prospects and solutions to many of the issues mentioned have been researched
and debated, primarily with a view to strengthening, revamping or re-orienting rural
financial institutions. However, there is merit in viewing the problems of rural credit and
rural banking in a wider context. In this regard, it will be useful to recognize some
dynamics of rural economy. Services sector is getting increasing importance in the rural
areas also -from coffee shops to cable television operators. Assessing and meeting of
credit needs of this sector is important. The integration between rural and urban areas has
increased significantly, with the result, mobility of labour, capital, products and even credit
between the two is increasing. Commercialization of agriculture, particularly the
increasing role of cash crops like cotton has resulted in substantial role for suppliers' and
buyers' credit. Compared to cereal production, other food items, including poultry and fish
are growing at a faster pace. In other words, rural agriculture is getting increasingly
diversified in terms of products and processes. In areas where commercialization of
agriculture has reached significant levels, the traditional landlord-based tenancy is replaced
with commercial-based tenancy. Where intensive cultivation of cash crops such as cotton is
called for, this has become quite common. However, the present credit and banking
procedures do not cater to the working capital needs of such commercial based
tenancy relationship. Given the diversified activities, and large work force in rural areas,
there is increasing recourse to multiple occupations to earn a decent livelihood. To the
extent employment and indeed incomes could be seasonal, especially for agricultural labour,
there is reason to seek and obtain consumption loans. Such assurance is possible with
prosperity in rural employment. Present arrangements in formal credit markets are
inadequate to meet such requirements. There is significant commercialization and
diversification of rural economies, progress is very uneven in different parts of the country.
So, there are still many areas, where exploitation of tribes by money lenders or of
agricultural laborers by landlord-money lenders, still persists. From the data on credit
deposit ratios, it is clear that the banking system is a conduit for net transfer of financial
savings from rural to non- rural sectors. On the other hand, a major part of informal
markets would be local and hence savings would be locally deployed, within the rural areas.
1.2 Technology and rural banking
Another development relates to the gradual undermining of the importance of branches of
banks. The emergence of new technology allows access to banking and banking
services without physical direct recourse to the bank premise by the customer. The

concept of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) is the best example. At present, ATMs are
city oriented in our country. It is inevitable that ATMs will be widely used, in semi-urban
and rural areas. The technology-led process is leading us to what has been described as
virtual banking. The benefits of such virtual banking services are manifold. Through the
competition, many banks quickly realized that there are a momentous number of customers
like to do banking electronically. As such, many banks, based on their existing 24-hour
telephone banking systems, have developed and implemented several important e-banking
applications so that their customers now are able to pay bills, transfer money among
accounts, check account history, download statement information, and computerize
their checkbooks online all at easy and around the clock (Morral, 1995).
2. Literature review
Joseph et al. (1999) investigated the influence of internet on the delivery of banking services.
They found six underlying dimensions of e-banking service quality such as convenience and
accuracy, feedback and complaint management, efficiency, queue management, accessibility
and customization. Jun and Cai (2001) identified 17 service quality dimensions of i-banking
service quality. These are reliability, responsiveness, competence, courtesy, credibility,
access, communication, understanding the customer, collaboration, continuous improvement,
content, accuracy, ease of use, timeliness, aesthetics, security and divers features. They also
suggested that some dimensions such as responsiveness, reliability and access are
critical for both traditional and internet banks. Jayawardhena (2004) transforms the
original SERVQUAL scale to the internet context and develops a battery of 21 items to
assess service quality in e- banking. By means of an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and
a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), these 21 items are condensed to five quality
dimensions: access, website interface, trust, attention and credibility. From the provider
perspective, there are target quality and delivered quality. The focus of process- or supplyled quality definition is rather internal than external, and it is defined as conformance to
requirements. It lays emphasis on the importance of the management and the supplyside quality, and there is an important role of the process in determining the quality of
outcome (Ghobadian, 1994). Achieving the quality of conformance between the planned
(target) quality level and the real quality delivered to customers depends on the service
quality management system in an organization. According to IAMAI report on online
banking 2006, 43% of online banking user hasnt started online financial transaction because
of security reasons, 39% havent started because they prefer face to face, 22% havent
started because they dont know how to use, for 10% sites are not user friendly and for 2%
banks are not providing the facility of internet banking. According to research 68% of the
customers cannot say that when they will be starting the financial transactions through
internet. Only 37% of Indian Internet users come from Top 10 cities i.e. Mumbai, Bangalore,
Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat and Nagpur. As per IAMAI
and I-cube, the number of active Internet user (i.e. ones who logon to Internet at least once a
month) is now 32 million and numbers who have used Internet at least once stands at 46
million. In 2001, a Reserve Bank of India survey revealed that of 46 major banks operating
in India, around 50% were either offering Internet banking services at various levels or
planned to in the near future. (The Indian Internet Banking Journey) According to a research
report,( India Research, Kotak Securities, May 2000.) while in 2001, India's Internet
user base was an estimated 9 lakh; it was expected to reach 90 lakh by 2003. Also, while
only 1% of these Internet users utilized the Internet is banking services in 1998, the Internet
banking user base increased to 16.7% by mid- 2000. Meuter et al. (2000) have identified
critical incidents of customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction with technology-based service

encounters. Given that business-to- business transactions are the fastest growing segment of
technology-driven services (Hof, 1999); Meuter and his colleagues (2000) suggested
investigating what drives business customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction with technology
driven services. According to Gnroos (1982), customers distinguish the quality of customer
interactions that take place during service delivery (functional quality) and the quality of the
outcome the customer receives in the service encounter (technical quality). Customers
perceive the quality of services of Internet banking based on the performance of online
delivery systems not on the processes in which the delivered service is developed and
produced. Because customers perceive Internet banking service quality based on relatively
standardized outcomes determined by online systems, customer attitudes toward that
outcome reflect overall quality of services delivered. Mary Modahl, an analyst at Forrester
Research, has spent the past several years researching the impact of the Internet
on business, using questionnaires, focus groups and interviews. To make sense of the
marketplace, she has developed a concept she calls "Techno graphics," an approach that
examines and ranks computer users by their comfort level with technology and how likely
they are to use the Internet. This scheme yields three basic users: Early Adopters,
Mainstream Users and Laggards. These groups can be further broken down into such
subgroups as "Handshakes, Successful Professionals with low technology tolerance";
"Gadget Grabbers, lower-income consumers focused on tech-based entertainment"; and
"New-Age Nurturers, affluent believers in technology for family and education."
Understanding this segmentation model, argues Modahl, is vital for companies eager to
remain profitable. Role of technology in customer-company interactions and the number of
Technology-based products and
services have been growing rapidly. Although these
developments have benefited customers, there is also evidence of increasing with
customer frustration in dealing technology-based systems. (Sharman Lichtenstein & Kirsty
Williamsony, Australia) research on Understanding the Consumer adoption internet
banking of Australia country investigated several factors influences on consumer adoption
of internet banking, including theories of consumer behavior in mass media choice and
use, innovation diffusion, technology acceptance, online consumer behavior, online
service adoption, service switching costs and the adoption of internet banking. Other factors
which they consider for adoption decision influencing factors likes accessibility, self
efficiency, usability, risk & costs, relative advantages, knowledge & support etc. by doing
that survey they found how the consumer adoption internet banking derived by the various
factors. It is very important to devise the strategy for technology & e-banking adoption by
the bank. Also understanding the attitudes of various customers is helpful for the
differentiate services of the banks. Ya-Yueh Shih studied customer attitude towards Internet
banking based on the Theory of Planned Behavior in Taiwan. Research has demonstrated
that operational precision is a significant quality consideration in products and services
involving computer technology. Since the Internet has become a major area for
marketing and transactions, individuals would expect accuracy in the information they
receive on the Internet. He has also given following parameters.
2.1 Transaction speed: The advent of web technology constitutes a new medium of
commerce which puts the customer in a position to directly and quickly interact with the
web services of the bank and never communicate with any employees.
2.2 User-friendliness: From the viewpoint of technology, ease of use is generally
considered an important quality attribute in technical computer services accordingly;
transactions conducted via traditional branch banking only involve communication
with operators, increasing the importance of issues like ease of resource use and

available help information. Obviously, user- friendliness sheds some light on the behavior
intention of Internet banking.
2.3 Security Instead of a direct physical experience with the services or products, the virtual
nature of the web medium seeks to retain traditional customer trust by graphic display. Van
Slyke and Belanger (2003) pointed out that in e-business, security must go both ways: (1) the
user identity needs to be verified so the merchant knows this is a legitimate user; and (2) the
merchant identity must be verified so the user knows the merchant is legitimate. (Mahmood
H Shah, Sajid Khan & Mark Xu) A Survey on of Critical Success Factors in e-Banking
considered 21 variables that enable a successful implementation of e-banking. Some of the
variable are User-friendly website, Secure website and other related systems, Support
from top management, Fast responsive customer service (better that usual), Promotion of
electronic e-commerce within organization, All time availability of services, Fast and
integrated business processes. They found that the speed up & simply decision are making
pro-active changes in the website & flexibility and speed in service delivery with the help of
internet banking services which is necessary for change response to the changes in the
market-place. From an e-banking point of view, this may include: restructuring the
organization to speed up decision making, re-engineering processes to web-enable them, or
simply making pro-active changes in the website to attract more visitors or to increase its
appeal for conducting business. Quick responsive products/services factor is related to
flexibility and speed in service delivery. This would imply that an organization should be
able to deliver its products via electronic channels much faster than other channels and it
should be able to make quick changes in services, if necessary, in response to the changes in
the market-place. Services expansion was related to marketing products to new segments as
well as offering extra services to utilize the capabilities of e-channels. Business processes and
systems integration and enhanced customer services were next in the list of importance.
Several converging reference domains and theories suggest numerous potential influences on
consumer adoption of internet banking, including theories of consumer behavior in mass
media choice and use, gratification theories, innovation diffusion, technology acceptance,
online consumer behavior, online service adoption, service switching costs and the adoption
of internet banking. Factors in Consumer Adoption of Internet Banking Attention,
Usability, Convenience, Usability, Convenience, Self-efficacy, Accessibility. The
framework shows that a bank must first attract banking consumer attention to the internet
banking service before the consumer will consider internet banking. However, unless the
consumer has a high level of internet accessibility at home or at work, she is unlikely to
consider using internet banking. The consumer also assesses whether it is convenient to
conduct her banking that way (convenience), how usable the application appears (usability),
and her perceived competence at internet use and banking application use (self-efficacy). The
four factors of accessibility, self-efficacy, convenience and usability are interrelated, as will
be shown later. The consumer also considers whether the perceived relative advantages of
internet banking compared with other banking forms outweigh perceived risks and costs. In
addition, the availability of sufficient support and in depth knowledge from the bank and its
employees contribute significantly to the adoption decision.

However, some participants were paying a price for this convenience in the form of the
missed advantages and benefits available from internet banking advantages which
are likely to increase with time as banks add more services to their internet offerings.
With careful planning and management as outlined in recommendations, these perceptions
of convenience may well be amenable to change. While improvements are certainly
needed in the internet banking application and environments of use, study suggests that
organizations will better manage consumer attitudes to new internet service applications if
they understand that such experiences involve a process of adjustment and learning over
time, and not merely the adoption of a new technology. A Research titled on Banking
Channel Perceptions, An Indian Youth perspective (Srivatsa H.S. and Srinivasan R.) found
that across the specified regions in the State of Karnataka, Channel convenience,
channel control and channel security plays an important role in the selection of
channels. Some regions still see people who are struck to branch banking and are not ready
for a change in mindset. Across all the four regions, telebanking was not popular since it
was not perceived as a safe and convenient channel. a number of banks, especially some

hoping to lock in customers to their financial institution (Klinkerman 2000).

5.1 Findings
