The Indian economy went through a severe turmoil after the assassination of former Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. The whole country suffered due to the staggering condition of the economy. The rising burden of debts to the World Bank was the major concern of the country. Thanks to the Narasimha Government, the reforms introduced by this government pulled the entire country out of that pitiable circumstance. The banking system got reformed and the economy came out well. Today, we have not only emerged as survivors but have also made ourselves tougher than ever.

The banks are being made customer friendly. New innovative plans are planned and implemented these days, keeping in view the interest of the customers, and are replacing the old, rigid schemes. Flexibility, user-friendliness, ease and gain are the key aspects which are being kept in mind before designing the new plans of action for the Indian banks.

Account types like saving account, current account, recurring deposits are being widely used by the people of India who once were reluctant to trust the banks for their money. The banking system has not only gained the faith of the customers, but had also made itself the best possible mode to treasure, multiply and transfer the hard-earned money of the customers.

Current account has been tailor made for those customers who carry out huge transactions on a daily basis. Businessmen, corporate executives, small and large scale organisations use their current account to carry out their transactions. A current account is primarily for the purpose of transactions. The low current account interest rate have attracted the entrepreneurs willing to invest their money . The businesses in India are flourishing and the sole reason behind their rapid success is the affordable interest rates.

Popular banks in India like the Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India, HDFC etc. have already set the stage for the enhanced profit margin by following the guidelines of customer-friendly banking. The sole aim of these banks is to channel their working in a way that can appease their prospective customers.

The foreign investors, who were let down by the Indian companies few years ago in terms of quality of services, are now quite pleased and India is now the new hub for investors from all parts the world. The employment opportunities have in turn increased manifold. Thus we have a sound working economy and a satisfied Indian public. All this has been made possible by the reforms introduced by the banking system in India.

The savings account in India has also opened new vistas for the customers. These accounts allow the customers to accumulate their funds and earn interests. The high interest saving accounts have helped a number of people maintain the funds and enjoy maximum benefits. The customer services of these banks offer assistances to the customers on the matters like cheque book request, statement request, e-cheque, demand draft, balance enquiry, funds transfer and online applications for all types of loans, fixed deposit schemes etc. The keen-to-help attitude and all-time assistance make the customers feel comfortable and attended.

On looking back, we now realise how many milestones we have sped past. There was a day when we were a debtor to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).But now we have turned from a debtor to a creditor. This seemed as a dream few years ago. But now we are facing a bright, positive reality.

With the lucrative attributes of the Indian Banking system like the appeasing current account interest rate and the keen-to-help customer services, India has touched new heights in the world economic panorama. The day is not far when we will be the forerunner in the race of the economies of the world.
