Internet Banking in India

I still remember those days in early 90's how I used to operate my bank account. I had to take pass-book for sure with every visit. After my bank transaction either the teller or the concerned staff member used to enter the particulars in the pass-book. Even for balance enquiry or cheque-book request, I had to visit the bank and stand in queue for my turn.

After two decades, the scenario is pretty much different, modern and efficient. I hardly visit my bank now. I mostly use ATM for withdrawal of money. I sometimes issue a cheque for the concerned person to en-cash. Otherwise, I transfer money from my account to another person's account with a few clicks. I check my balance amount online through Internet banking aka anywhere-anytime banking. Thanks to information technology, I hardly visit the bank these days ! There is no scheduled commercial bank in India which does not offer Internet based banking now.

Isn't it a super-saver of time and money for one and all? But what am I doing with those extra hours in my life now ? :-)
