1 Introduction
In India, innovation in baking sector was began since 1991 with introduction of
liberalization and globalization processes as result of it E- Banking came into progress. This
Information Technology revamps the entire banking sector. E- banking drastically and rapidly
altered the way of client banking, banks started providing different services related to cash
deposits, cash withdrawals that to through electronic means. Due to this I.T revolution the
number of electronic transactions are increasing day by day and world has emerged as a
cyber-world where each and every one is connected through internet. E- Banking made the
mobility of foreign funds and investment possible which turned world into global market and
this market is growing so fast that it has almost abolished the effect of national boundaries. It
is not wrong to say that this I.T innovation in baking sector in form of E-banking has introduced
new business paradigm in country like in India.
After independence, the Indian banking system has progressed from nationalisation to
liberalisation. It has seen the transformation of a sluggish corporate institution into a highly
proactive and competitive organisation. This transition has occurred. Largely as a result of
liberalisation and economic reforms that allowed banks to rather than generating sales from
traditional sources, investigate potential market prospects. Borrowing and lending streams this
financial reform, which began in the early 1970s introduced a radically new operating
1
environment for banks. The banks were also selling their products and services through a
variety of creative and appealing technology-based multichannel. The method began in the
1970s with the introduction of computers as ledger posting machines. The use of technology
has been implemented in Banking operations have a wide range of back-office and customer
facing tasks. Early in the 1980s, The Reserve Bank of India established two committees to
speed up the modernization of the banking system. Operations in the financial industry A high-
level committee were formed under the auspices of the under the chairmanship of Dr C.
Rangarajan, a phased strategy for computerization and automation was created. In the banking
industry, there has been a lot of automation. Banks are now using a range of innovative and
attractive technology-based multichannel to market their goods and services. With the
invention of computers as ledger posting machines in the 1970s, the system was born. Banking
operations use automation for a variety of back-office and customer-facing activities.
The Reserve Bank of India formed two committees to speed up the restructuring of the
banking system in the early 1980s. Economic processes a high-level committee was organised
under the auspices of the and a phased plan for computerization and automation was established
under the chairmanship of Dr C. Rangarajan. Banks that once relied solely on the branch to
provide services have now begun to sell their products and services across several creative and
technology-based channels. Internet Banking, Automated Teller Machines, and other platforms
are examples of these. ‘ATMs,' 'Mobile Banking,' 'Phone Banking,' 'TV Banking,' and so on.
Any of these are E-banking or online-banking is the domain of new delivery networks. In the
type of digital banking, electronic banking has been around for a long time. Telephone transfers
and automated teller machines (ATMs). It has been more common in recent years. The internet
has changed everything – it's a digital distribution system that had enabled banking simpler for
its transactions.

Act, 2000, which offered legal recognition. To deal with the pressures of the rivalry, Indian
commercial banks have implemented several initiatives, one of which is E-Banking. The
competition has been internal disagreements for public sector banks, as the newly formed
private sector and foreign banks have emerged. EBanking provides three broad services:
Convenience- Complete your banking at your leisure in the privacy of your own house, there
are no lines at an online bank,24x7 service- Bank online transactions are available 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. (LAL* & SALUJA**, 2012) In simpler terms, E-Banking
is a banking arrangement that allows customers to conduct multiple transactions over the
internet that are end-to-end encrypted, i.e., totally safe and stable. Paperless/cashless transfers
are encouraged by E-Banking. It also comes with a set of protections, obligations, and
payments. E-Banking programmes include the following:
Internet banking and E-banking are almost synonymous, except the latter is a broader
term encompassing the former. Any transaction financial or non-financial – that you make over
through a web page (generally the bank's website) or a web application constitutes internet
banking.
You can experience banking at your fingertips with IDFC FIRST Bank's internet banking
services, which facilitate easy transfers, quick bill payments and access to loan details. On the
other hand, mobile banking happens through your mobile phone via a bank's mobile banking
app.
Credit and debit cards are a form of E-banking, too! Debit cards can help us easily
withdraw cash from ATMs and POS (Point of Scale) machines. On the other hand, credit
cards allow customers to borrow funds up to a pre-approved limit and help them avail a range
of offers.

1.4.3 ATMS
ATM was the first E-banking service provided by banks when they started going digital.
An ATM makes the process of withdrawing and depositing money convenient.
An EFT is used to electronically transfer money from one bank account to another. Some
examples of EFT are National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Immediate Payment Service
(IMPS) and Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS). Hence, E-banking comprises a range of
different mediums of transacting online.
A point of sale system refers to a point, in terms of date, time, and position (retail outlet),
where the customer makes a payment for the product made or services offered, using a plastic
card (business jargons, 2021).
E-banking has become an integral part of the banking system in India. Before the 90’s,
the traditional model of banking i.e. branch-based banking was prevalent, but after that non-
branch banking services were started. The credit of launching internet banking in India goes to
firstly ICICI Bank. After that Citibank and HDFC Bank followed with internet banking services
in 1999. The Government of India enacted the IT Act, 2000 with effect from October 17, 2000,
which provided legal recognition to electronic transactions and other means of e-commerce.
The Reserve Bank is monitoring and reviewing the legal and other requirements of ebanking
on a continuous basis to ensure that e-banking would develop on sound lines and e-banking
4
related challenges would not pose a threat to financial stability. According to a report of RBI
in Jan. 2016, there are 196079 ATMs and 1337310 points of sale devices in India. To cope with
the pressure of growing competition, Indian commercial banks have adopted several initiatives
and e-banking is one of them. The competition has been especially tough for the public sector
banks, as the newly established private sector and foreign banks are leaders in the adoption of
e-banking. Indian banks offer to their customers the following ebanking products and services
viz. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, Phone Banking,
Tele banking, Electronic Clearing Services, Electronic Clearing Cards, Smart Cards, Door Step
Banking, and Electronic Fund Transfer.
According to the RBI in its Annual Report 2020-21 stated that the payment systems recorded
a robust growth of 26.2% in terms of volume on top of the expansion of 44.2% in the previous
year. Here some of the major key facts are as follows:
Private sector banks represent about 67% of the POS terminal market while public
sector banks account for 27%. Payments banks accounted for 5% market share, and
foreign banks represented 1%.
The total number of cards in circulation stood at 960.25 million as of March 2021. Out
of which, there were 898.20 million debit cards and 62.05 million credit cards, up by
8% and 7% YOY respectively.
There were 2.20 billion prepaid payment instruments in the country. Out of which,
189.93 million comprised of prepaid cards and over 2.01 billion comprised of mobile
wallets.
The number of transactions through mobile wallets in Q1 2021 was 1.13 billion and
the value was INR 411.75 billion. This includes the purchase of goods and services and
fund transfer through wallets. Transactions through wallets are growing steadily.
Consumers made 8.32 billion mobile-based payments whereas Net Banking / Internet
browser-based transactions were over 937.60 million. In terms of value, INR 31.98
trillion was transacted through mobile while INR 131.34 trillion was transacted through
the internet.
5
Out of total UPI volume, 55% of transactions were P2P (Person-to-Person) while 45%
were P2M (Person-to Merchant). It clocked over 2.73 billion transactions in volume
and breached INR 5 trillion in terms of value.
The transactions volume passing through Bharat Bill Payment Central Unit (BBPCU)
in Q1 2021 stood at 90.71 million while the value of the transaction was INR 134.70
billion. It registered a growth rate of 99% and 129% in volume and value respectively
against Q1 2020.

2.1 Introduction
Review of literature is very important aspect for every research support without this
should not carry out any research report. The literature review helps the research to drawn the
appropriate study relatable variables. Based on this further study should be carried out.
Therefore this study drawn some literature review related to E-banking
(Nilanjan Ray, 2014)1 Had a study in “Internet Service Quality Dimensions and their
Impact on Customer Satisfaction: Case from Banking Industry”. The objective is to the present
study empirically examines the impact of internet banking service quality dimensions on
Customer Satisfaction. Analysis of collected data reveals that there are three dimensions of
service quality, namely, Assured Service, Service Efficiency and Convenient Service which
impact customer satisfaction. It was also found that customers are more satisfied with some
additional service dimensions like trustworthiness, security, accessibility and awareness.
(Singh, 2019)2 Tried to find out “Measuring E-service quality and customer satisfaction
with Internet Banking in India” The objective of this study is to measure the e-service quality
of internet banking and the relationship with customer satisfaction in India. This study aims to
explore the critical factors of e-service quality of internet banking in India and to measure the
customers’ satisfaction of internet banking on the identified e-service quality dimensions. The
study also found that there is a positive relationship exists between e-service quality dimensions
and customer satisfaction of internet banking. These findings can be used by banks to improve
the service quality of their internet banking service and thereby to satisfy their customers. .
(Jolly, 2016) 3 In their survey focused on “the influence of internet banking on the
efficiency and cost savings for banks’ customers”. This research paper is about how the internet
is used by Indian banks and how it has changed the face of banking. Internet banking has its
advantages: primarily it is cost efficient. Using internet banking customers can do most of their

bank transactions online; almost all of the transactions are possible. Adding to the advantages
these transactions require only an internet connection and a computer. These facilities are not
limited to the working hours of the bank; one can avail these services24 hours a day, 7 days a

compared to other online channels. It is one of the fastest rising services and is a powerful tool
for improving customer satisfaction as well as increasing cross-selling opportunities.
Therefore, banks should keep track of the ever-changing banking industry and the latest updates
of internet technology to envisage future competition. Despite all the frenzy about e-banking,
the banks should not neglect their branch networks as face-to-face communication is still vital.
(Pallab Sikdar, 2015)9 Had a study on “Online banking adoption: A factor validation
and satisfaction causation study in the context of Indian banking customers”. The study
considers a five-factor model toward online banking adoption in the context of banking
customers in India and validates the proposed model. In addition, the authors consider the

impact of validated factors on overall satisfaction of customers. Trust, Usage Constraint, Ease
of Use, Accessibility and Intention to Use as reliable and valid factors determining internet
banking adoption among customers in India. The existing studies in the context of e-banking
in general and online banking in particular have been majorly confined to proposing key drivers
toward adoption of such alternate banking mediums. As the study relates to banking customers
in India, findings will be of particular value to domestic and foreign banking entities looking
to leverage technology as a tool to attain stronghold with an emerging economic set-up.
(Kamal K Gupta, 2011)10 From his findings from “Effect of demographic variables
on customer perceived internet banking service quality: empirical evidence from India”. This
study attempts to analyse the effect of demographic variables on customer perceptions of
Internet banking service quality offered by banks in India. Five dimensions of Internet banking
service quality-Security/Privacy, Reliability, Efficiency, Responsiveness and Site Aesthetics
were extracted through exploratory factor analysis. Performance of banks on these five Internet
banking service quality dimensions was assessed using descriptive analysis as well as
hypotheses testing Results of independent samples t-test revealed a significant difference
between male and female customers’ perceptions on Security/privacy and Responsiveness
dimensions. MANOVA results suggest a significant difference in customers’ perceptions by
occupation and income groups whereas no significant difference was found on the bases of age
and education level.

(S. Fatemeh Sakhaei, 2014) 12 In his research “The impact of service quality on
customer satisfaction on Internet. In his research on the effect of service quality factors of
Internet Banking on customer satisfaction in Iran, has evaluated the relationship between
service quality and customer satisfaction and examines the effects of service quality on
customer satisfaction by the use of Internet Banking services. According to the findings, six
service quality dimensions, namely dependability, performance, responsiveness, fulfilment,
security/privacy, and website design, have a substantive relationship with customer satisfaction
and Internet Banking.
(A.P.P. Perera, 2018)13 In his research in “Impact of Internet Banking Service Quality
on Customer Satisfaction: An Empirical Investigation of Customers in Sri Lanka”. The study
tested seven theories about the relationship between seven aspects of internet banking and
customer satisfaction. According to the findings, performance, device availability, and rewards
have a major and positive impact on customer satisfaction, while fulfilment, confidentiality,
and responsiveness have no significant impact on the degree of customer satisfaction. The
results have shown that touch and reliability are the most affected variables that increase the
satisfaction level of internet banking customers. The methodological evidence aided in
understanding the relative effectiveness of internet banking service values, which would aid
policymakers in developing quality services.

influence of other factors on adoption have not. The consequences for the banking sector as
well as public policy are discussed.
(Emad Hashiem Abualsauod, 2020)15 Had a report on “A study of the effects of online
banking quality gaps on customers’ perception in Saudi Arabia”. This research aims to create
a conceptual context for OB (online banking) by understanding the interactions of stakeholders
in the banking industry, as well as to identify OB quality gaps based on relevant literature.
There were five online banking quality gaps found, as well as three phases of customer
engagement with online banking systems. As a result, the ultimate goal of this study is to assess
the impact of such quality differences on customers' willingness to use OB in Saudi Arabia, as
well as customer satisfaction with OB. Gaps in technology and human interaction were
discovered to have a huge impact on customers' ability to use OB.

Quality: (A Case Study of Selected Cities of Punjab)”.investigates the effect of E-Banking on
service quality Likert scales with five points have been established. The effect of E-banking on
service quality was examined using nine factors: connectivity, tangibility, understanding,
credibility, stability, access, responsiveness, competence, and reliability, all of which have a
major impact on service quality. According to the findings of 18 the study, there is a major
difference between the various factors influencing the use of E-Banking. These considerations
should be addressed by E-Banking service providers to offer high-quality banking services to
their customers.

3.1 Bank
An organization that keeps money safely for its customers the office or building of
such an organization. You can take money out, save, borrow or exchange money at bank.
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 jurisdictions exercise a high degree of regulation over banks. Most countries
have institutionalized a system known as fractional-reserve banking, under which banks hold
liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities. In addition to other regulations
intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to minimum capital
requirements based on an international set of capital standards, the Basel Accords
Banking in its modern sense evolved in the fourteenth century in the prosperous cities
of Renaissance Italy but in many ways functioned as a continuation of ideas and concepts
of credit and lending that had their roots in the ancient world. In the history of banking, a
number of banking dynasties – notably, the Medics, the Fugger’s, the Welsers, the Berenbergs,
and the Rothschilds – have played a central role over many centuries. The oldest existing retail
bank is Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (founded in 1472), while the oldest existing merchant
bank is Berenberg Bank (founded in 1590).
3.2 E-Banking
E-banking is a product designed for the purposes of online banking that enables you to
have easy and safe access to your bank account. E-banking is a safe, fast, easy and efficient
electronic service that enables you access to bank account and to carry out online banking
services, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.

commercial banks have implemented several initiatives, one of which is E-Banking. The

is a banking arrangement that allows customers to conduct multiple transactions over the
internet that are end-to-end encrypted, i.e., totally safe and stable. Paperless/cashless transfers
are encouraged by E-Banking.
We will look at the importance of electronic banking for banks, individual customers, and
businesses separately.
3.3.1 Banks
Lesser transaction costs – electronic transactions are the cheapest modes of transaction
A reduced margin for human error – since the information is relayed electronically,
there is no room for human error
Lesser paperwork – digital records reduce paperwork and make the process easier to
handle. Also, it is environment-friendly
Reduced fixed costs – A lesser need for branches which translates into a lower fixed
cost.
More loyal customers – since e-banking services are customer-friendly, banks
experience higher loyalty from its customers.
3.3.2Customers
Convenience – a customer can access his account and transact from anywhere
24x7x365.
Lower cost per transaction – since the customer does not have to visit the branch for
every transaction, it saves him both time and money.
20
No geographical barriers – In traditional banking systems, geographical distances
could hamper certain banking transactions. However, with e-banking, geographical
barriers are reduced.
3.3.3 Business
Account reviews – Business owners and designated staff members can access the accounts
quickly using an online banking interface. This allows them to review the account activity
and also ensure the smooth functioning of the account.
Lower costs – Usually, costs in banking relationships are based on the resources utilized. If a
certain business requires more assistance with wire transfers, deposits, etc., then the bank
charges it higher fees. With online banking, these expenses are minimized.
Lesser errors – Electronic banking helps reduce errors in regular banking transactions. Bad
handwriting, mistaken information, etc. can cause errors which can prove costly. Also, easy
review of the account activity enhances the accuracy of financial transactions.
Reduced fraud – Electronic banking provides a digital footprint for all employees who have
the right to modify banking activities. Therefore, the business has better visibility into its
transactions making it difficult for any fraudsters to play mischief.
The major functions of banks are almost the same but the set of people each sector or
type deals with may differ. Given below the functions of the banks in India:
21
7. Dealing with foreign exchange
The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of our country. Each country has a central
bank that regulates all the other banks in that particular country.
The main function of the central bank is to act as the Government’s Bank and guide and regulate
the other banking institutions in the country. Given below are the functions of the central bank
of a country:
Issuing currency
In other words, the central bank of the country may also be known as the banker’s bank as it
provides assistance to the other banks of the country and manages the financial system of the
country, under the supervision of the Government.
22
3.5.2 Cooperative Banks
These banks are organised under the state government’s act. They give short term loans
to the agriculture sector and other allied activities.
The main goal of Cooperative Banks is to promote social welfare by providing concessional
loans
Tier 1 (State Level) – State Cooperative Banks (regulated by RBI, State Govt,
NABARD)
Concessional CRR, SLR applies to these banks. (CRR- 3%, SLR- 25%)
They have a unified structure and are owned by the government, state, or any private
entity.
These banks do not charge concessional interest rates unless instructed by the RBI
Public deposits are the main source of funds for these banks
1. Public sector Banks – A bank where the majority stakes are owned by the Government
or the central bank of the country.
2. Private sector Banks – A bank where the majority stakes are owned by a private
organization or an individual or a group of people
23
3. Foreign Banks – The banks with their headquarters in foreign countries and branches
in our country, fall under this type of bank.
24
3.5.4 Regional Rural Banks (RRB)
These are special types of commercial Banks that provide concessional credit to
agriculture and rural sector.
RRBs were established in 1975 and are registered under a Regional Rural Bank Act,
1976.
RRBs are joint ventures between the Central government (50%), State government
(15%), and a Commercial Bank (35%).
From 2005 onwards government started merger of RRBs thus reducing the number of
RRBs to 82
One RRB cannot open its branches in more than 3 geographically connected districts.
At present, there are only 4 Local Area Banks all which are located in South India
Certain banks are introduced for specific purposes only. Such banks are called specialized
banks. These include:
Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) – Loan for a small scale industry
or business can be taken from SIDBI. Financing small industries with modern
technology and equipment’s is done with the help of this bank
EXIM Bank – EXIM Bank stands for Export and Import Bank. To get loans or other
financial assistance with exporting or importing goods by foreign countries can be done
through this type of bank
25
National Bank for Agricultural & Rural Development (NABARD) – To get any kind
of financial assistance for rural, handicraft, village, and agricultural development,
people can turn to NABARD.
As the name suggests, this type of bank looks after the micro industries, small farmers,
and the unorganized sector of the society by providing them loans and financial assistance.
These banks are governed by the central bank of the country.
A newly introduced form of banking, the payments bank have been conceptualized by
the Reserve Bank of India. People with an account in the payments bank can only deposit an
amount of up to Rs.1, 00,000/- and cannot apply for loans or credit cards under this account.
Options for online banking, mobile banking, the issue of ATM, and debit card can be done
through payments banks. Given below is a list of the few payments bank in our country:

Banks should take the requisite steps to educate their customers about the different available
E-Banking services, as well as the benefits of using those services. Customers should be sent
demonstrations of E- Banking to encourage them to use it.
Banks should concentrate on cyber security problems including sensitive identities that are
susceptible to misuse in the cyber environment. The cost of accessing Internet Banking services
should be reduced to maximize the number of people who use the service. The E-Banking
infrastructure should be improved to make online inquiry and payment even more convenient.
Suggestions
We can see the time is changing and we are now accepting technology but there is still a lot of
perceptual blocking which hampers the growth its normal tendency of technology, that why
the growth of internet banking is very primitive in nature.
Banks should obey the RBI norms and provide facilities as per the norms. But this are
not completely followed by the banks. Some of our respondents complained that their
bank do not give feedback of online transaction in proper times. If customers do not get
proper feedback then their interest in online services will be reduced. So bank should
take proper steps to build their feedback services.
76
Internet banking facilities must be made available in all banks as well as in all branches.
There are some co-operative banks in this area and this type of banks still do not have
core-banking facilities. For this reason this type of bank lose their customers. So co-
operative banks should be covered under core-banking system.
Link failure is a big problem especially in UCO bank and for this reason the important
business deals have been hampered. So banks should modified their software
immediately.
Now some banks install automated balance update machine to avoid customer
harassment but all banks should except this system very quickly.
Banks should develop their services not only in town areas but also in village areas.
Banks should install more and more ATMs in both urban and rural areas.
There is a another problem I faced at the time of conducting this survey that the
respondents complained that there are so many ATM machines in this locality but most
of the ATMs have normally no cash at all. So bank should extend this service with
regular cash filling.
Use anti-virus and maintain the integrity of your computer by scanning regularly for
computer viruses.
If using the same computer or mobile for online banking, e-mail and web browsing,
always LOG OFF banking sessions before checking e-mail or web browsing. computer
viruses today are capable of installing themselves through e- mail links as well as web
sites where just passively moving your mouse over an image could be enough to install
a script that grabs your cached online banking credentials (user ID and password) and
77
allows a criminal to steal money from your account. Always keep your anti-virus
software up-to-date.
Always use original operating system with original commercial anti-virus which could
be better than crack version or free sample.
If you are using computer with multiple operating system (e.g., Ubuntu, Dos or
Windows) you must separately install anti-viruses for each O.S.
Do not respond to e-mails requesting account information, account verification or
banking access credentials such as usernames, passwords, PIN codes and similar
information.
Do not use e-mail (or e-mail based fax systems like FACsys) to send sensitive
information.
Install a dedicated, actively managed network firewall to limit the potential for
unauthorized access to your network or computer.
5.3 Conclusion
Conclusion To sum up, the current study analyzed the Internet banking customers in the
Chennai district to understand various aspects of Internet banking services, and the concerns
