    Surprisingly, the SBI was not a nationalized bank./ It had been created by an Act of Parliament in 1955, a logical successor to the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn had been created merging the four Presidency Banks in the 1930s. Their immediate objective in 1955 was to create within the next ten years a network of over 500 branches within the length and breadth of the country! As the only large state sponsored bank in those days, it was given the privileged status of being the treasury bank, and in the places where the RBI did not have any branches, SBI would step in for carrying on the functions, like “presiding over the clearing”.

This economic planning basically aimed at social ownership of the means of production. However, commercial banks were in the private sector those days. In 1950-51 there were 430 commercial banks. The Government of India had some social objectives of planning. These commercial banks failed helping the government in attaining these objectives. Thus, the government decided to nationalize 14 major commercial banks on 19th July, 1969. All commercial banks with a deposit base over Rs.50 crores were nationalized. It was considered that banks were controlled by business houses and thus failed in catering to the credit needs of poor sections such as cottage industry, village industry, farmers, craft men, etc. The second dose of nationalisation came in April 1980 when banks were nationalized.…
