Indian banking industry
Private sector
Financial institutions that are owned and controlled by private individuals or corporations rather than the government are called private-sector banks. These banks play a significant role in the Indian banking sector by providing various banking services. Private sector banks lead in terms of their customer service, product innovation, smooth digital banking experience, and efficiency than public banks.
However, there are some disadvantages as well. For instance, you may have to pay a higher interest rate on loans and credit products than public sector banks. Further, private sector banks do not have government support; therefore, in times of financial crisis, they may have to face far more challenges than a public sector bank would have to. Hence, thoroughly researching a private bank stock thoroughly before investing is worthwhile.
Public sector banks (PSU)
Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are companies where the government holds the majority of the stake. There are three types of PSU companies mentioned below.
Central Public-Sector Enterprises (CPSE) – These companies are where the central government holds a stake of more than 15%. CPSE is further classified into three types: Maharatna companies, Navratna companies, and Miniratna companies.
Public-Sector Banks (PSB) – Financial institutions in which the government or another public-sector bank holds more than 51% of the voting shares are called PSBs. Nifty PSU Bank represents the performance of PSBs.
State-Level Public Entities (SLPE) – Companies where the state government or another SLPE holds more than 51% stake are called state-level public entities.
