 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project scans the risky nature of banking with reference to various

Types of transactions and their vulnerability to fraud. Prevention is better than

Cure.

In bank administration, one feels that not much attention is paid to

Preventive measures. Bank managements must direct their orientation towards

Preventive rather than detective or punitive measures. Preventive vigilance must

Be the prime agenda to bring down the occurrence of fraud in banks.

Bankers must be properly educated and trained on the effect and

Consequences of dilution and distortion of the prescribed norms.

Retention and deployment of experienced and specialized staff in the respective

fields of operation will minimize fraud. Bankers have to overcome the inertia

that prevents them from learning new and effective technology.

Besides, the pressure of customers and their demands are increasing in

the post-VRS scene prevailing in banks. There is comparatively less staff to do

the increased quantum of business. More work load means neglecting

systematic adherence to procedure in the routine transactions.

Motivating the staff in the lower rung by proper promotional processes

will help. A rational HRD policy has to be evolved to meet the pressing

demands of customers.
Are the Bankers concentrating on the preventive front of checking the

frauds in banking or is the traditional approach still used.

The Application of IT in Banking Frauds, and presence of banking frauds

in the finance industry and their correlation, is it an essential element of

Preventive measures to be adopted by the Banker

Means and Modes of Frauds and RBI’s Guidelines for the detection and

registration of the same and their dynamics should be made familiar to the

employees of a Bank so as to bring about awareness and at the same time create

vigilance amongst the employees, so as to equip them with the resources

required to deal with such frauds, as and when they happen.

The Major Banking Frauds that were bought into the limelight by the

authorities and other relevant departments, which saw banking frauds, and

revealed the loop holes in the already laid down strategy to deal with the frauds

should be made familiar to the public at large and the bankers at the same time
