2 Providing secured mobile banking services even from Normal Handsets
By : Chaitali Das
ATMA RAM CHAVALI  |  Supported idea  "Address security concerns "  |  3 years ago
Yes, addressing security concerns is a must.At the same time the banks have to campaign more aggresively about mobile banking. Now in India there are more number of mobile users than net users.The banks should concentrate on rural/semi-urban...
Niranjan Meena  |  Supported idea  "Address security concerns "  |  3 years ago
 Mobile banking is an amazing technology, the cause of failure is mainly due to its security concern. People feel that banking through mobile is not safe. So improving the security process in mobile banking will accelerate the customer adoption rate.
soumya saxena  |  Supported idea  "Address security concerns "  |  3 years ago
I think the two main factors are awarenes security about the facility being provided.the media channels are working so goo that awareness can be generated in some time . but if there is no security of transactions is involve .it will not work

Jyoti Rath  |  Supported idea  "PIN numbers"  |  3 years ago
I agree with Anirban. Remembering too many numbers is not always an easy task to do. But those banks are remembering PIN for internet and telephone banking are indeed taking a good initiative. Therefore, we should have a minimum number of PIN...
Viswadeep  |  Supported idea  "Financial Inclusion"  |  4 years ago
The use of mobile for banking i.e, towards payments and settlements(remittances) would help in financial inclusion.The use of non banks to accept cash for topping up the accounts can only make financial inclusion successful till such time all the...

By : Sonal Singh
ASOKE KUSARI  |  Added idea  "Rural folk should have a Mobile and (surplus) income too"  |  3 years ago
The towns and cities have been so far built by depriving the rural India and its people. Now is the time that we repay their snatched away contributions. Mobile Banking to them is one of such initiatives. No more days of "Class Banking" - now we...

Telecom industry is at cross roads again. What ails telecom business now? --With growth of wireless telephony, land line volume is diminishing. --With SMS and advent of Data service, Voice call revenue is dwindling. --Various E-businesses move revenue from Telecom to Content providers and SMEs.  Refer my posting 'Telecom Multi-media ----' http://toostep.com/insight/telecom-multi-media-business --VOIP and other INTERNET based telephony bye pass Telecom systems. --With 3G and Multi-media business, Telecom will face revenue moving out of it to external service providers and Content providers. --New technologies in Telecom, demand higher CAPEX with no scope of matching ROI. ARPU is shrinking ac...

No not yet....Mobile phone penetration is set to reach 60 per cent of India’s population in 2011, but banking touch points lag at about 0.07 touch points per 1,000 people....However, with telecom and banking majors stepping up mobile banking...

K. V. Kamath, CEO of India's second largest banking and financial services conglomerate, ICICI, is a man in a hurry. When he occupied the driver's seat at ICICI more than a decade ago, it was a financial institution hamstrung by political constraints. Kamath was a key member of the top team at ICICI, including chairman Narayanan Vaghul, that led the organization into new businesses such as insurance and banking. Kamath, who spent his early years with the Asian Development Bank in Manila, used technology effectively, including online banking, to pry open market expansion. Today, his top challenge is to retain the talent ICICI trains, which is keenly sought by other financial services players...

Pakistan has a much smaller manpower of 1,449,000 personell which is proportionally higher than India in terms of their population ratios. Pakistan’s ground forces are equipped with American or Chinese weapons like FIM 92 Stinger SAMs, BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles, T-82 tanks and other equipments. Indian ground forces are equipped mostly by home-made or Soviet technologies like IR guided 9K35 Strela-10 SAMs, 3rd Gen IR guided Nag anti-tank missiles, UAVs and a large inventory of tanks and support vehicles. In terms of numbers and equipments, both Indian and Pakistani ground forces are on an closely equal footing.

Facts about "Jana Gana Mana" - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?     I have always wondered who is the "adhinayak" and "bharat bhagya vidhata",    whose praise we are singing. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is sung throughout the country.   Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.   To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of King George V and the Queen of  England when they visited India in 1919.   To honour their visit Pandit Motilal  Nehru had the five stanzas included, which are in praise of the King and  Queen. (And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!! !)   In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule, i.e. Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of  the  princely states were recognised which are integral parts of India...

Financial engineering has provided innumerable lucrative opportunities for otherwise indigent mathematicians Nevertheless the turbulence in the bond markets in the last couple of months, at a time when the world economy’s prospects seemed set fair, have exposed a guilty secret of the financial engineering profession: its methods don’t work. First area of failure is liquidity. Theoretically, if financial engineers design ever fancier artificial securities and derivatives, but everybody uses the same mathematical models to value them, there is no reason why an active market should not operate in the securities, at whatever price the models direct. In practice this only works in calm markets. In times of market turbulence, when doubts arise about either the mathematical models themselves or the underlying assets from which value is derived, the true value of these artificial assets becomes thoroughly unclear. Buyers assess their value at the lowest possible level, and refuse to...
