TITLE- BANK VISIT [ STATE BANK OF INDIA,ATULNAGAR WARJE BRANCH ]
The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the 19th century when the Bank of Calcutta (later
renamed as Bank of Bengal) was established on June 2, 1806.
The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being Bank of Bombay
and Bank of Madras.
They have the exclusive right to issue paper currency until 1861 when the right was taken over by
the Government of India.
The three Presidency banks amalgamated on January 27,1921 and were named Imperial Bank of
India.
The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint-stock company without Government participation.
All in all, the SBI was formed after the merger of approximately twenty banks.
According to the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of India, acquired a
controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of India and the Imperial Bank of India became theState
Bank of India on July 1, 1955.
But the Indian Government acquired the Reserve Bank of India’s stake in SBI in 2008 to remove
any conflict of interest because the RBI is thecountry’s banking regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act thus making the
eight banks that had belonged to princely statessubsidiaries of SBI. But now all the subsidiaries
have been merged with SBI.
SBI maintains thousands of branches throughout India and offices in dozens of countries
throughout the world.
The bank’s headquarters are in Mumbai. SBI provides a range of banking product through its
network of branches in India and overseas, including products aimed at non-resident Indians.
SBI has a very conservative approach to accounting particularly when it comes to declaration of
its assets. SBI enjoys a monopoly of the government business.
The Reserve Bank of India owns about 60% of the bank’s equity. Acts as agent of Reserve Bank
of Bank
