1. Introduction
Banking has been service industry, since inception and will always be. But, the change has been
witnessed in the way the service being delivered. So, when in 1991 the economy opened up we
saw private banks coming into the picture. It has been the story of India that when private
players got chance they brought efficiency and also the PSUs type entity need to adopt the
changes, similar in this case as well. Whenever an industry grows IT helps to manage the
operations and its stature. Information technology has revolutionized the way banking was
done firstly by shifting the paradigm to online. With the advent of ATMs, debit/credit cards,
internet-banking, NEFT/RTGS etc. the banking has been transformed, and replacing traditional
way or method of service delivery and even the products to achieve the new scales in an
industry where scope of differentiation or compete on the price was minimal previously and
fiercely competitive, so quite tough to build the brand who owns the great share mind and heart
and eventually of the market.
It all started with ICICI Bank under the visionary leader K. V. Kamath who brought and
promoted the NON-HUMAN SERVICE INTERFACE IN BANKING. Multinational (mainly foreign)
and private banks adopted the technological innovations more quickly as compare to public
sector and hence, started reaping the fruits early from the investments made on technology in
terms of HIGHER C-SAT (customer satisfaction) and improved efficiency; which became the
major differentiator for all of them from public sector banks. Again, now is the phase where
banking is changing in terms technology as always but also in terms of users. So, our study has
two phases one is the effect of e-banking on various parameters various banks performance and
second is the present scenario and what are the changes it’s going to account or seems to take
place in that are going shape industry’s future.
A number of studies are available on productivity evaluation and a few of scholarly research on
analysis of technology’s impact on banks’ in terms of productivity on various factors is available;
but very-very few in case of India; that too scattered in different papers and reports.
2. Literature Review
Indian banking industry has been one of the largest spenders and beneficiaries of of information
technology. Global trends in the banking industry show the move amply clear from services to
products, it naturally becomes obvious for an emerging country like us India to take lead in
delivering such instruments. Over the past few years, the industry has continuously leveraged

IT in expansion of banking operations, for improving internal processes and for improving
facilities & services to customers likewise. In recent times, banks in India had introduced
various instruments such as E-Cheques, RTGS, EFT, ECS, ATMs, Tele banking, EDI. From
enabling banking services to driving transformation in the Industry, Information Technology
course do promise to change the pace of banking to the next few years (Mohan & Madhu, 2014).
Over a duration of time, the managing an account division had seen certain patterns everywhere
throughout the world. With the improvement of IT, two things are occurring all the while. The
work power as a rate of aggregate staff is going down and spending on IT as rate of aggregate
spending is going up. The IT activity is making the association incline and level. IT is currently
seen as an asset for get-together and scattering of official data framework (EIS). IT is seen as an
empowering influence that as well when very much upheld by BRP (Business Process Re-
designing), HR activities, physical base and responsive association. IT set up to produce salary
for the association is the fresh start. Landing positions from outside the bank for handling
information and so forth are the present patterns. One of the IT pattern is moving from chain of
importance to group approach. Rather than vertically partitioned pyramid sort hierarchical set-
ups, banks are presently being to have separate gathering like money, worldwide shopper
managing an account, modern/business credit and so on. Outsourcing is a standout amongst the
most discussed as likewise a disputable issue. The drivers for inspiring into outsourcing are
numerous to incorporate crevices in IT desires and the truth, demystification of
computerization all in all and IT in particulars, pattern towards concentrating on center
capabilities, expanded authenticity of outsourcing and expectation of escaping from stresses
and kind of up degree of equipment and programming variants.
Robotized information stream – Under mechanized information stream (ADF), banks were
encouraged to submit computerized comes back to guarantee stream of information from their
CBS or other IT frameworks to the Reserve Bank in a straight-through way with no manual
mediation. To guarantee coherence and sustenance of ADF execution, banks have been
encouraged to set up inside returns administration gatherings to continually screen progres
Cutting edge constant gross settlement framework (NG-RTGS) – The new RTGS framework was
propelled on October 19, 2013. The framework settled a record number of 0.48 million
exchanges on March 28, 2014. All around, it is interestingly that the ISO 20022 message
arrangements are being utilized for transmitting RTGS messages. The RTGS framework 2 Rating

SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY is exceptionally versatile with new
functionalities viz. advance liquidity components including a gridlock determination system and

alternatives to members: thick-customer, web API (through INFINET or some other sanction
system) and the installment originator module. Members have the decision to choose the
method of support in the framework in view of the volume of exchanges and the expense of
setting up the base. With usage of the new RTGS framework, the old RTGS framework stops to
exist and the RTGS System Regulations 2013 have supplanted the RTGS (Membership) Business
Operating Guidelines, 2004 and RTGS (Membership) Regulations, 2004. Report on 'Empowering
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in Payment System Applications' IX.29 The Reserve Bank
constituted a gathering in September 2013 to set up a methodology paper for empowering PKI
for instalment framework applications in India. The gathering contained delegates from banks,
the IDRBT-Certifying Authority, the Controller of Certifying Authority and branches of the
Reserve Bank. The gathering additionally communicated with Indian Banking Association (IBA).
The last report of the specialized board was discharged in April 2014. IX.30 The report
suggested the requirement for all banks' web keeping money applications to make a
confirmation domain for a secret key based 2-stage validation and additionally a PKI-based
framework for validation and exchange check for internet saving money exchanges and its
usage in stages. It additionally recommended that banks give the choice to their clients for
empowering PKI for their internet managing an account exchanges.(RBI Annual Report’13-14)
3. Research Methodology
I. LIBRARY RESEARCH: Secondary research through media and internet to formulate the
Literature review. Later a good analysis of papers by going thoroughly in and out along with
articles from internet and news.
II. Gathering data from various websites regarding banks performances from various point
of views like financial performance, IT index, no. of customers, share prices, etc.
III. ANALYSING: Compiling the entire data and analysing it to develop the further insights
by means of ratios, matrices, like ROTI i.e. Return on Technical Investment, graphs, etc.
IV. Compiling all the insights and finding conclusion and preparing the final document and
presentation and presenting it.

4. Data & Analysis
I. What IT is enabling the Banks (Impact on delivery):
Firstly Technology has impacted in a way that it has unfolded the box of financial services
and created new opportunities by enabling the change in manner the services and products
were delivered. The following figure shows what technology in enabling the present market
served by industry at lower cost of delivery.
II. Investment on Information Technology & Returns (ROTI)
Banks invest more on IT when compared with other financial services firms. In deed the
entire financial market spends more on IT as compare to any other industries; which banks
are topmost investors in the IT segment. Banks’ spend almost 7.3% of their revenues, Do

t
which is quite higher as compare to others found out in a large survey covering firms in the
Asia, Europe and North & South America by Forrester Research Inc. Whereas, on an
average, across various sectors polled in the same survey, the cost of IT is equivalent to
3.7% of their revenues.
It is obvious any sector invests only and only when it can generate returns. IT is rather than
a cost is an investment especially for Banks since its result come after the implementation
that comes as long as the system is serving. So, a costly system can also get implemented
more with ease as compare other industries since the results are good and exponentially
increasing in terms of profit. Lets’ see how the banks got profited with e-banking on the
basis of following analysis:
i. Employee Productivity
This is the measure of productivity on an average by each employee by the evaluation done
on the various factors like Business per employee, Setting up/Establishment cost of
technology per employee (for equipment, etc.), Expense on per employee in terms of
training, etc. , with respect to Total earnings/business per employee and increase in it with
the advent of e-banking. The period considered is 1996-97 to 2006-07. After 2007 mobile
telephony started spreading its wing so considering after that point is not going to give
accurate measures. The mentioned data is obtained from:
1. Report on Trends and Progress of Banking in India
2. Performance Highlights of IBA (1996-97 to 2006-07)

Firstly, How much business is captured by an employee that’s taken out from records
[Obviously total business divided by no. of employees is done for calculations] and after
that Establishment Expense & Spread per employee is taken care which results in Total
earning per employee and hence on the basis of these, we calculated the Employee
productivity.

ii. Branch Productivity
Branches were the only touch points earlier for banks. So, a bank was highly dependent on
the no. of branches and also their productivity. To overall productivity of bank is what
branch level productivity is summed up; which is calculated by means of proportionate
production of the banks per branch in terms of business, deposits, credits, establishment
expenditure, total expenditure and total income. The idea to look for per branch concept
was that since every year the no. of branch operated were different so to get a common
ground to calculate can be done by looking for per branch; also since each bank has
different no. of branches depending upon their feasibility so it provides better ground for
comparison. Lets’ look at all tables and productivity of branch.

iii. Recent Years Overall Banks Performance
So, let us analyse the performance of banks in the recent years; after implementing
the system i.e. 2011-15 and see whether they are gaining sustainable profit or not.
So, by looking the trends one can clearly say that IT is rather than an expense is an
investment which is delivering its fruit again and again like a tree after initial take
care of it and becomes the part of organization.

Table 13: Overall Profit(Loss) in respective FY
Figure : Overall Profit(Loss) in respective FY
So, it has clearly shown impact at smallest possible level i.e. per employee productivity to
each level further. And that’s the reason why banks heavily invest on IT since it has almost
doubled the key productivity and delivered a sustainable growth over a period of more
than 15 years and enabling to fulfil the un-served demand existing at present. This is the
banks have invested in the innovations like ATMs, Credit/Debit Cards, Electronic Fund
Transfers (RTGS/NEFT), etc. continuously and backed them.

III. Nature of IT Investment of Banking & its Impact
Banks are still investing in newer
technologies that too almost 30%
to improve further experience of
their customers that’s the reason
we are watching such a quick
transformation from e-banking to
m-banking. Now, also the
payments banks are coming into
picture; so let’s see what’s the potential lying in it to know why banks are investing
in this pattern.
Scope of growth in internet and enabled banking
Lets’ see what’s the scope of growth available in the market in terms of internet and
hence internet enabled banking i.e. e-banking and m-banking.
Fig: Growth in internet usage and potential as compare to other countries
Since internet enabled banking i.e. e-banking and m-banking is all about the
convenience of customers is all going to increase just the comfort ability with
technology needs to increase in consumers and banks are loving it as it increases
their bottom line as well so we are surely going to watch rise in it as its reinforcing
loop unless some external factor disturbs this cycle. The transition from e-banking
m-banking has taken less than the halftime to the transition for traditional to e-
banking. And let us have look where the future IT investments are taking place: Do

t
So, banks are investing in Mobile
App for the engagement with
current and new customers and
also investing in Data Mining and
Analysis to know more about the
customers and their preferences
and deliver the experience. Since
customers are quite worried
about the security banks are
investing heavily on cyber
security after that on social
media and cloud computing to
enable business processes and
smoothen the execution.

IV. Impact on Consumers & Consumers Back Impact on Banking
The banking’s digital offered consumer the convenience they were wishing and
hence, people started adopting the practice of internet enabled or digital banking.
Also, the ones who adopted or converted their banking from traditional to digital
called “digital converts” became majority in 2013. But, in 2020, those who started
their banking in digital era will form the form the majority. Those who have “digital
native”- thinks that the e-banking and m-banking are basic facility so they are
having more expectations and these expectations are shaping the future of banking
which is so far married happily with technology.

V. Macro Environmental Impact
Macroeconomic factors are also serving in favour of marriage of the banking with
technology. As banking system is the backbone of financial activities of the nation;
central govt. is using banks to reach up to last mile. The schemes developed under
these programs are also incentivising the banks towards the advancement of
technology use to deliver the customers a better experience of banking.
5. Conclusion
So, after all analysis we can say it with the ease that IT has impacted hugely the banks in
terms of their operations and changed the way the customers experienced banking. Its impact
is not only qualitative but also quantitative. The result of IT is not one shot but it’s actually
an investment whose result starts after the implementation begins i.e. after establishing
means incurring the cost. And, the result is far more efficient processes which are resulting
higher profits at each level from individual to not only organization but at industry level. Due
to complexity involved in implementing and accessing impact of technology on the
organizations which depends on various variable the Return on technology investment i.e.
ROTI is tough task to calculate. Also, organizations are having a look at ROTI with a lot of
qualitative aspects to take better improved quality of decisions. Since, the technology is Do Not

delivering consumers convenience & comfort whereas profit and better management control
in terms processes to banks; so it’s a WIN-WIN game for all the parties involved.
