8. Internet Banking
India is a developing nation. It is said that if development is not all
round (meaning it covers all the areas), then it is not true. Nobody
had ever thought that a small machine like computer will play an
important role in our development. One machine does thousands of
work and has become an important part of our life. This is natural
that computer has now become important in areas of paying
electricity and water bills with education, hospital, bank, railways,
business etc.
You know that computer is now used in many areas. We will know
about e-banking or banking through computer in this lesson. We all
know that we have to go to many places to do many works. For
example, to deposit electricity bill we will have to go to electricity
department and stand in long time and same goes to water bill. We
always think that there should be such a facility to do these works at
home. Then, stop thinking because you can do these things using e-
banking. This saves our time. It also saves us from many troubles.
Facilities of e- banking

institution account, for example, if we have account in State Bank of
India and we want to transfer amount in any account of Punjab
National Bank. This feature is used in such cases.

it is related to the transactions of huge amount. The minimum limit
of RTGS is 2 lac rupees, bank also charges some amount of RTGS
which is Rs. 30 for the transaction of 5 lac rupees.
