Banks in India
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates a demand deposit while simultaneously making loans. Lending activities can be directly performed by the bank or indirectly through capital markets because banks play an important role in financial stability and the economy of a country.
Most countries have institutionalised a system known as reserve banking, under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities.
In India we have reserve bank of India which plays role of central bank of country.
Currently, there are a total of 34 banks functioning in India of which 12 are public sector banks and rest 22 are private sector banks.
