The paper examines the history of banking sector frauds and discusses the recent instances of frauds taking place in the Indian banking sector. The paper also presents a few selected statistical reports related to the theme of the paper. The causes and risk factors associated with the frauds in the banking sector have been also addressed. Various cases of fraud related to the Indian banking sector have been discussed and the paper also suggests measures to check such frauds. The RBI too has constituted a specialised working group and different types of internal committees to monitor increasing cases of fraud in the banking sector. Thus at an aggregate level there have been measures in the proper direction and the government should not lose their focus on major broad areas in their battle against banking sector frauds. To tackle frauds is the need of the hour, hence various regulatory reforms to handle banking frauds have been also discussed in the paper.
