Yes, so far. But i wouldnt depend on anything other than the PSB's. I dont have much faith in the private banks as they could close or be involved in a scam any time. At least in a public sector bank, your money is backed by the government and they would be primarily responsible for its repayment. Also PSB's will be able to offer better rates depending on the govt. declared rates. Even though private banks offer good rates, they take it back in many other ways like charging for chq books, atm services etc.

Sharad I am in total agreement with you. I am of the opinion that since most of our banks are under govt so there is no risk at all. Even with other banks it is safe unless a group of staff, of all banks of India,decides to play prank star then it is a different story.

Money can be safe in nationalized banks or any other bank if its kept as it is. However with the advent of technology and the increasing dynamic demands of the consumer base, there are various issues that have raised eyebrows. With online banking or e-banking gaining popularity amongst the consumers, a new horizon of anomalies have dawned. Online banking is not so secure these days because there are lot of loopholes on the server-side scripts and client side scripts existing for securing confidential information. At present there are still a number of banks who implement RSA-512 encrypting algorithm for encryption of data which is an age-old practice. Confidential information like credit card information, banking passwords or PINs are vulnerable to attacks by hackers and can be easily hunted through phishing attacks. It means that development in security of online transactions is still in in its nascent stages. Again, Mobile banking has a lot of issues not only for security but also for authorization, integrity, consistency and redundancy. Not only that, recently I came across a T.V. report broadcast which stated that thousands of crores of rupees have been lost in loans that have not been recovered by RBI and every other bank associated with RBI. With all these matter in air, I simply doubt - is my money safe in banks?
