History Of Banks
In the ancient days there existed Goldsmiths, the moneylenders and the merchants, each of these was closely concerned in dealing of money which in the early period was in the form of coins made of precious metals. As these money changers transacted their business sitting on benches they came to be known as banks. In India our historical .cultural ,social and economic factors have resulted in the Indian Money market being characterized by the existence of both the unorganized and the organized sectors.
Unorganized sector- The unorganised sector comprises moneylenders and indigenous bankers which cater to the needs of a large number of people especially in the rural areas.
Organized sector- the organised sectorof the money market comprises specialised banking institutuions like IDBI.SIDBI,NABARD,. This sector also includes the public sector banks,privatesector banks and foreign banks.
Definition of Banks

International Banking: it is a logical extension of domestic banking . International banking are delivered for the benefit of nonresidents Indians ,Exporters ,importers ,tourists, foreign entities and banks. It includes:
1. Banking activities are carried across different geographical borders. 2. Risks in international banking are both pecuniary as well as political. 3. Non-interest income is substantially more than interest income Before nationalization cooperative system was the only agency for dispensing rural credit .In order to address the need of the rural sector, numerous attempts were made including setting up of regional rural banks , schemes for micro finance, primary credit societies
Rural Banking:
Banks have taken a new role because of the following reasons: New directions Use of technology Internet banking Mergers and acquisitions Foreign exchange services Corporate ethics and governance. Human Resource Management
Custodian of foreign exchange reserves- Besides maintaining the rate of exchange of the rupee, the Reserve Bank has to act as the custodian of India's reserve of international currencies.
What is monetary policy? A macroeconomic policy tool used to influence interest rates, inflation, and credit availability through changes in the supply of money available in the economy. In India it is also called the Reserve Bank of Indias Credit Policy as the stress is primarily on directing credit.

The apex bank is empowered to vary this ratio between 3 and 15 per cent. RBI uses CRR either to impound the excess liquidity or to release funds needed for the economy from time to time.RBI uses CRR to freeze a part of the lendable resources of the banks in order to neutralize the expansionary impact of large fiscal deficits and consequent generation of inflationary pressures. SLR : Every bank is required to maintain at the close of business every day, a minimum proportion of their Net Demand and Time Liabilities as liquid assets in the form of cash, gold and un-encumbered approved securities.
The ratio of liquid assets to demand and time liabilities is known as Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR). RBI is empowered to increase this ratio up to 40%. An increase in SLR also restrict the banks leverage position to pump more money into the economy. SLR stands for Statutory Liquidity Ratio. This term is used by bankers and indicates the minimum percentage of deposits that the bank has to maintain in form of gold, cash or other approved securities. Thus, we can say that it is ratio of cash and some other approved securities to liabilities (deposits) It regulates the credit growth in India.
An instrument of monetary policy. It involves buying and selling of govt. securities by the RBI to influence the volume of cash reserves with commercial banks and thus influence their loans and advances .To contract the flow of credit ,RBI starts selling govt securities. To increase the credit flow RBI starts purchasing the govt securities. It implies the purchases and sales of Govt. Securities. In addition they are employed for creating and maintaining cheap money conditions on grounds of public policy, as a means of absorbing excess liquid cash or for raising the necessary funds to finance the developmental activities of the state .
Suppose RBI purchases securities through open market operation this will have effect of injecting more money into circulation. Sellers of the securities will deposit the sale proceeds in their banks thereby increasing the cash reserves of the banks. Conversely sales of securities will be followed by absorption of excess of money in circulation.
Specifies minimum margins for lending against specific securities Ceiling on amt of credit for certain purposes to stem the flow of credit to speculative and non productive sectors Charges discriminatory rate of interest on certain types of advances

Credit Rationing
It is employed by central banks as a temporary expedient or an abnormal pressure dictated by special circumstances ,or as a part of comprehensive scheme of national economic planning. Under this method , the central bank rations credit by limiting the amount available to each applicant and restricting rediscounts. The setting of credit quotas is the only decisive method which the central bank has in order to prevent excessive credit demands on the part of business.
Direct Action : implies the coercive measures taken by the central bank against individual units of the banking system . it involves direct dealing with individual banks. Moral Suasion: It implies the friendly persuasion by the central bank . And advice so as to influence the lending policy of banks.
The potential loss an asset or a portfolio is likely to suffer due to a variety of reasons. A condition in which there is a possibility of an adverse deviation from a desired outcome that is expected or hoped for.

CREDIT RISK Risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or meet the obligation on the agreed terms . It refers to the possibility of the issuer of a debt instrument being unable to honour his interest payments and/or principal repayment obligations . The primary cause of credit risk is poor credit management.
Portfolio Risk
Risk arising from lending to sectors non related to the core competencies of the Bank / concentrated credits to a particular sector / lending to a few big borrowers.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk to a banks financial condition that could result from adverse movements in market price. The risk that an unexpected happening ,which is extreme sudden or dramatic will cause an all-round fall in market prices. It signifies the the adverse movement in the market value of trading portfolio during period required to liquidate the transaction
This risk is the possibility that assets or liabilities have to be repriced on account of changes in the market rates and its impact on the income of the bank.
for liabilities to drain from the Bank at a faster rate than assets. Liquidity risk is when the bank is unable to meet a financial commitment arising out of a variety of situations. However, there are times when an FI can face a liquidity crisis. When all or many FIs are facing similar abnormally large cash demands, the cost of additional funds rises as their supply becomes restricted or unavailable. Such serious liquidity problems may eventually result in a run in which all liability claimholders seek to withdraw their funds simultaneously from the FI. This turns the FIs liquidity problem into a solvency problem and could cause it to fail.
Forex Risk: To the extent that the returns on domestic and foreign investments are imperfectly correlated, there are potential gains for an FI that expands its asset holdings and liability funding beyond the domestic frontier. One potential benefit from an FI becoming increasingly global in its outlook is the ability to expand abroad directly or to expand a financial asset portfolio to include foreign securities as well as domestic securities. Even so, undiversified foreign expansion exposes an FI to foreign exchange risk in addition to interest rate risk and default risk.
It offers enormous scope for making profits the other side of the coin is the risk of big losses from unexpected swings in exchange rates.
NON-FINANCIAL RISKS
Operational Risk :arises as a result of failure of operating system in the bank due to certain reasons like fraudulent activities, natural disaster, human error, omission etc. Systemic Risk: is seen when the failure of one financial institution spreads as chain reaction to threaten the financial stability of the financial system as a whole. Political Risk arises due to introduction of Service tax or increase in income tax, freezing the assets of the bank by the legal authority etc. Human Risk: Labour unrest, lack of motivation, inadequate skills, problems faced by the bank after implementation of VRS lead to Human Risk. Technology Risk: Obsolescence, mismatches, breakdowns, adoption of latest technology by competitors, etc, come under technology risk
Technology risk: occurs when technological investments do not produce the anticipated cost savings in economies of scale or scope. Diseconomies of scope arise when an FI fails to generate perceived synergies or cost savings through major new technology investments. Operational Risk: Operational risk is partly related to technology risk and can arise whenever existing technology malfunctions or back-office support systems break down. Even though such computer glitches are rare, their occurrence can cause major dislocations in the FIs involved and potentially disrupt the financial system in general.
Sources Of Risk
There are variety of situation that give rise to risk.They are: 1.Decision/Indecision 2.Business Cycles/Seasonality 3.Economic /Fiscal Changes 4.Market preferences 5.Political compulsions 6.Regulations 7.Competition
If the risk is decreasing , aggregate risk should decline over the next twelve months. If the risk is stable the aggregate risk should remain unchanged. If the risk is increasing , aggregate risk should be expected to be higher in the next twelve months. 4.Elaborate on systems established to monitor risk and the frequency of monitoring: Banks should monitor risk levels to ensure timely review of risk positions and exceptions. Monitoring reports should be timely accurate, and informative and should be distributed to appropriate individuals , to ensure action, when needed .
5.State policy and /or procedure to control the risk identified: Banks should establish and communicate risk limits through policies ,standards, and procedures that define responsibility and authority.
Liquidity risk : it is the most difficult risk to measure it can be measured if the risk manager plan for the known demands on the bank regarding scheduled deposit repayments ,tax payments and known loan repayments by different ratios i.e. the ratio of liquid assets of a bank to its total assets ,the ratio of liquid assets to demand deposits and short term borrowings, the ratio of net loans to total deposits which measures the quantum of deposits,etc, ratios must be derived to control liquidity risk. Credit Risk : the risk of counter party defaults has a number of measures:
Exposures as a percentage to total outstanding, credit ratings also serve as an indicator of the credit risk,& the ratio of impaired loans to total loans serves as an indicator of the credit risk. Operational Risk: It is harder to quantify and model than market and credit risks, over the past few years improvements in Management information systems and computing technology have opened the way for improved operational risk measurement.
It is a dynamic process of Planning, Organizing & Controlling of Assets & Liabilitiestheir volumes, mixes, maturities, yields and costs in order to maintain liquidity and NII.

Tools of Asset-Liability Management: Gap Analysis. Duration Gap Analysis. Value at Risk (VaR). Simulation.
Gap analysis
The Gap Analysis addresses the problem of impact on net interest income and as such is carried out for the Planning Horizon(one quarter, half year or one year) and confines itself to possible changes in the interest rates occurring during such time horizons. The starting point for Gap Analysis is to decide on time buckets and identification of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities.
Value at Risk
Estimation of maximum potential loss on a given position for a given holding period. Value-at-Risk is a measure of Market Risk, which measures the maximum loss in the market value of a portfolio with a given confidence
Simulation
Many of the international banks are now using balance sheet simulation models to gauge the effect of market interest rate variations on reported earnings /economic values over different time zones. The simulation involves detailed assessment of the potential effects of changes in interest rate on earnings and economic value.
Introduction
Traditionally, the role of the treasury in Indian banks was limited to ensuring the maintenance of the RBI-stipulated norms for cash Reserve ratio (CRR) which mandates that a minimum proportion of defined liabilities to be kept as deposit with the central bank and Statutory liquidity ratio(SLR) which obliges banks to invest a specified percentage of their liabilities in notified securities issued by the govt. of India and state govt. or guaranteed by them .
An active treasury can arbitrage/earn profit without risk by borrowing cheap and investing high in money, forex and bond markets. Another key function of the treasury is assetliability management and hedging/insulating the banks balance sheet from interest and exchange rate fluctuations. The sources of profits for TREASURY are:
1.Investments- where a bank earns a higher yield than its cost of funds. 2.Spreads- Between yields on money market assets and money market funding For e.g. The bank may borrow short term for 5% and deploy in commercial paper with returns of 6%
3.Arbitrage- is a buy/sell swap in the FOREX market, where the bank converts its rupee funds in to a dollar deposit. 4.Trading- In this the focus is entirely on short term, as opposed to investment which is long term. The aim is to earn trading profits from movements in security and FOREX prices during a day or a few days of trading 5.Customer Services- Bank treasuries offer their products and services to customers/nonbanking customers
