Welcome to the course “Banking and Finance Sector in India”! By the end of this course, you will develop an understanding of Banking and Financial systems in India.
Finance is the backbone of any economic system; it facilitates trade by ensuring the smooth exchange of goods and services. Firms and governments require capital to sustain growth and development. Globalization and growth in international trade between nations imply more cross-border movement of goods and services and, thereby, the need for cross-border currency transactions. The finance sector comprises banks and financial intermediaries that facilitate the channel of money and funds from those who have it (savers/investors) to those who need it (borrowers). The eco-system of the finance sector comprises banks, financial institutions, Central Banks (Monetary Policy), the Reserve Bank of India (in the case of India), the government treasury (Fiscal Policy), and the regulators of specific bodies and institutions collecting public money. Over the years, the finance sector in India has widened and deepened in scale, size, and complexity. The working and benefits of a strong eco-system of the finance sector are facilitated by a strong Central Bank and a robust institutional, policy, and regulatory architecture.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
