Initially was Oligopoly market in 1960s. After liberalization it has features of both Monopolistic and Oligopolistic market structure. But from last few years due to liberalization and new policies implemented by RBI, by encouraging FIIs, foreign banks to enter in to market by loosening the entry barriers and increasing foreign stake in a Indian bank, it is now tending towards Monopolistic.
Monopolistic market: Monopolistic is a form of market structure in which there are many sellers offering differentiated financial products and services. The interest rates are to some extent market-determined. The entry and exit barriers have been lowered for both domestic and international players so as to encourage the private banks to conduct banking business. At present there are 29 foreign banks operating in India
Exit barriers still remain relatively higher than entry barriers. Foreign banks wishing to establish presence in India for the first time could either choose to operate through branch presence or set up a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (WOS). They could also hold a subsidiary which has a foreign investment (capped at 74%) in a private bank. The WOS required a minimum capital requirement of Rs. 3 billion and a CAR of 10%.
Banking is a highly regulated industry A bank can generate revenue in a variety of different ways including interest, transaction fees and financial advice
Banks profit from the differential between the level of interest it pays for deposits and other sources of funds, and the level of interest it charges in its lending activities
