Indian Financial Card Market - More Debit than Credit for Future

"Opportunities in Indian Banking Sector" is an extensive research on the Indian banking industry that gives deep insight regarding the opportunities and challenges in the industry.

According to a recent report on the Indian banking industry published by RNCOS, the number of debit and credit card users in India is anticipated to reach 73.4 Million and 406 Million by the year 2010 and 2011 respectively.

The RNCOS report said that the frequency of transactions through credit cards will rise in comparison to debit cards. However, the Indian financial card market will be dominated by the increasing number of debit cards rather than credit cards. It is supported by the fact that the number of debit cards in circulation increased from a quarter of a million in 1999 to 28 Million in 2004.

The report also provides a comprehensive overview of the major growing areas which will lead the Indian debit and credit card market that includes growing consumerism, increasing rivalry between the banks in offering new credit cards, betterment in the payment infrastructure and rising income levels. The report also highlights the development of the Indian banking industry on account of the series of reforms that started in 1991 and currently by the remarkable growth achieved by the retail industry which can be observed by the increasing partnerships between the banks and the industry.
