In addition to this, if an account holder pays online, he/she has to introduce check request before two weeks due payment. But the banks can withdraw the amount when a notification is received from the account holder; it meant that the account holder without knowing has lost his interest of two weeks on that payment. Where does India stand in usage of online banking? Now in India every banks has the facility of e- banking, which is now extending even in rural areas by educating about the advantages and attracting their attention towards e-banking.

Literature review How do people look upon online banking in India? The research says very few uses it for the purpose of services offered by the banks and for transactions but rest dont even know they follow the old method and visit the bank as much as possible. Some banks dont have features or services which the other banks provides, either it can be said that banks in India does not provide services that are offered by the UK banks for e.g. card reader which is not yet bought in notice of Indian banks. There are some banks in UK especially for net banking known Net banks, where there is only physical appearance but in India there is no such banks only related to Internet banking.

Apart from the first risk i.e. security risk there is limited internet user base, lack of system to advanced technology for banking services, customer usage for internet base is less in India so as compared to global standards, customers with orthodox mentality does not approve the internet transaction as they are not comfortable, there is limited awareness about the potential of internet banking on the part of banks.
