1.1.4 The Regulatory and Supervisory concerns in
i-banking arise mainly out of the
distinctive features outlined above. These
concerns can be broadly addressed under
three broad categories, viz, (i) Legal and regulatory
issues, (ii) Security and technology
issues and (iii) Supervisory and operational issues.
Legal issues cover those relating to
the jurisdiction of law, validity of electronic
contract including the question of
repudiation, gaps in the legal / regulatory
environment for electronic commerce. On the
question of jurisdiction the issue is whether to
apply the law of the area where access to
Internet has been made or where the transaction has
finally taken place. Allied to this is
the question where the income has been generated
and who should tax such income.
There are still no definite answers to these issues.
1.1.5 Security of i-banking transactions is one of the
most important areas of concerns to the
regulators. Security issues include questions of
adopting internationally accepted stateof-the art minimum technology standards for
access control, encryption / decryption (
minimum key length etc), firewalls, verification
of digital signature, Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) etc. The regulator is equally
concerned about the security policy
for the banking industry, security awareness and
education.

1.3. Approach of the Group:
1.3.1 The first meeting of the Working Group was
held on July 19, 2000. It was decided
that members of both Working Group and
Operational Group would participate in all
meetings and deliberations. The Group, in its
first meeting identified the broad
parameters within which it would focus its
deliberations.
1.3.2 The Group agreed that Internet banking is a
part of the electronic banking (ebanking), the main difference being that in ibanking the delivery channel was
Internet, a public domain.Although the concerns
of e-banking and i-banking have
many things in common, the fact that Internet is a
public domain called for additional
security measures. It was agreed that the Group
would primarily focus its attention

Business-to-Business (B2B).
2.2.6Business-to-Consumers (B2C):
2.2.6.1 In the B2C category are included single eshops, shopping malls, e-broking, eauction, e-banking, service providers like travel
related services, financial services etc.,
education, entertainment and any other form of
business targeted at the final consumer.
Some of the features, opportunities and concerns
common to this category of business
irrespective of the business segment, are the
following.
2.2.6.2 Opportunities:
2.2.6.2.1 Internet provides an ever-growing market
both in terms of number of potential
customers and geographical reach. Technological
development has made access to
Internet both cheaper and faster. More and more
people across the globe are accessing
the net either through PCs or other devices. The
purchasing power and need for quality
service of this segment of consumers are
considerable. Anybody accessing Internet is a
potential customer irrespective of his or her
location. Thus, any business targeting final
consumers cannot ignore the business potential of
Internet.
2.2.6.2.2 Internet offers a unique opportunity to
register business presence in a global market.

2.3.2 Considering the volume of business e-commerce,
particularly in B2B domain, has been
generating, it is natural that banking would
position itself in an intermediary role in
settling the transactions and offering other trade
related services. This is true both in
respect of B2C and B2B domains. Besides, the
traditional role of financial intermediary
and settlement agents, banks have also exploited
new opportunities offered by Internet
in the fields of integrated service providers,
payment gateway services, etc. However,
the process is still evolving and banks are
repositioning themselves based on new
emerging e-commerce business models.
2.3.3 In B2B scenario, a new form of e-commerce
market place is emerging where various
players in the production and distribution chain
are positioning themselves and are
achieving a kind of integration in business

3.3 U.K.
3.3.1 Most banks in U.K. are offering transactional
services through a wider range of
channels including Wireless Application Protocol
(WAP), mobile phone and T.V. A
number of non-banks have approached the
Financial Services Authority (FSA) about
charters for virtual banks or clicks and mortar
operations. There is a move towards
banks establishing portals.
3.3.2 The Financial Services Authority (FSA) is
neutral on regulations of electronic banks.
The current legislation, viz. the Banking Act
1987 and the Building Societies Act,
provides it with the necessary powers and the
current range of supervisory tools. A
new legislation, the Financial Services and Market
Bill, offers a significant addition in
the form of an objective requiring the FSA to
promote public understanding of the
financial system. There is, therefore, no special
regime for electronic banks. A draft
Electronic Banking Guidance for supervisors has,
however, been developed. A guide
to Bank Policy has also been published by the
FSA which is technology neutral, but
specifically covers outsourcing and fraud. The FSA

DIGITAL MONEY
The massive adoption of plastic money and internet have
been driving the Digital Payment Industry for last few years. In 2014,
however, India is going to take down a barrier of digital payment
industrys growth rate of 40% and the industry will touch a mark of INR
120,120 Crore( US$ 20.02 billion). Last year the industry outgrew to INR
85,800 Crore (US$ 14.3 billion), according to the latest IAMAI report
titled INR 85,800 Crore Digital Money.
The internet in India has become a viable source to do many
things including transactions pertaining to payments. In todays fast moving
world, people tend to transact on internet than triggering the traditional
styled offline transaction. The explosive adoption of smartphone and mobile
internet in India has fuelled the growth of digital payment industry further.

Fraud in E-banking
Reserve Bank of India recently released statistics
on Cyber Frauds pertaining to Internet Banking, ATMs, Debit
Cards and Credit Cards for past 4 years and even after all the
Conclusion
E-banking is becoming immensely popular in India. The declining
internet and mobile charges, falling prices of PCs and mobile
phones, broadband with access through cableand digital
subscriber lines etc. would definitely encourage the boom in Ebanking in India. On the basis of the analysis, it can be concluded
that the emerging payment system in India for large value
transactions is RTGS, ECS for bulk payments and NEFT for one
to one fund transfer. Among the card based payment systems
debit card is more popular than credit cards. The number of ATMs
in India, particularly in rural areas, is on the rise and customers
irrespective of their profile started accepting ATM as a channel for
banking transactions, both internet and mobile banking is gaining
popularity but considering the rapid penetration of mobile phones
in India, the potential for delivering banking services through
mobile phones is immense compared to internet as a delivery
