RBI & E-Banking
The Reserve Bank of India constituted a
working group on Internet Banking. The
group divided the internet banking
products in India into 3 types based on
the levels of access granted. They are:-

purpose information like interest rates,
branch location, bank products and their
features, loan and deposit calculations are
provided in the banks website. There exist
facilities for downloading various types of
application forms. The communication is
normally done through e-mail. There is no
interaction between the customer and
bank's application system. No identification
of the customer is done. In this system,
there is no possibility of any unauthorized
person getting into production systems of
Electronic Information Transfer
System:   The system provides customer-
specific information in the form of account
balances, transaction details, and
statement of accounts. The information is
still largely of the 'read only'  format.

application system either in batch mode or
off-line. The application systems cannot
directly access through the internet.
