In a world driven by the market forces and governed by the vicissitudes of trade and commerce, Banking as an institution, has assumed superlatively unprecedented importance. Perhaps this giant, in its modern avtar, is still to be shaken from its slumber, in the Indian context, but it goes without saying that it is destined to roar with its full vigour before long.Here is a valiant effort by Mr. S.N. Gupta to expound upon the rules of the gtame of Banking. We as publishers, with the co-operation of the revising authors have tried to incorporate in the important fifth edition, much new material in the light of new dramatic developments in the ever expanding field of Banking including the impact of the English Banking on the Indian Banking, the fate of the latter being inextricably linked to the former in its very conception.This important new edition of a classic rendition on Banking Law is updated with the latest relevant amendments and a plethora of case law.Since its fourth edition in 2005, there have been tremendous judicial and legislative developments in the field of banking. Along with up-to-date case laws of Supreme Court and High Courts, the amended provisions of Banking statutes have ben incorporated at places so that the set of volumes is updated and complete in all respects.This comprehensive and accessible, clear, perceptive and scholarly account in its thoroughly updated and revised edition will, like its predecessors be the ideal study and reference companion for all those who are concerned with and have to deal with the Banking Law.
