Banking and finance has emerged as a leading sector of the Indian economy. Notwithstanding this, due to its technical nature, the sector has by and large remained outside the purview of the uninitiated readers. The Routledge Handbook of Indian Banking and Finance is devoted to analytical accounts of various aspects of Indian banking and finance and tries to address this vacuum.Written in non-technical language by prominent academics and industry experts, each chapter explores the basic tenets and current challenges within Indian banking and finance across three core areas: institutions, markets, and regulation. Institutions cover issues relating to commercial banks, co-operative banks, technological aspects of banking, mutual funds, insurance, or financial inclusion. Various markets are covered as well, and these include equity, bond, commodities, private equity, forex, money, real estate finance, or alternative assets. The regulatory section addresses the regulation of banking, the risk management practices and norms in the banking sector, insurance, pension funds, the securities market, and the role of government in finance. The chapters provide a comprehensive narrative tracing the evolutionary chronicle of a particular segment of the financial sector while delving into current issues and speculating on the shape of things to come.Offering comprehensive coverage, this book will be a go-to resource for beginners and specialists alike. It will be of interest to those working with corporate finance, banking, finance, economics, business and industry, management and marketing, and banking- and finance-related law.
