Money Transfer Service Scheme ( MTSS ) is a quick and easy way of transferring personal remittances from abroad to beneficiaries in India. Only personal remittances such as remittances towards family maintenance and remittances favouring foreign tourists visiting India are permissible. The system envisages a tie-up between reputed money transfer companies abroad and agents in India who would disburse the funds to the beneficiaries at ongoing exchange rates. The system does not envisage the repatriation of such inward remittances. The India agent is also not allowed to remit any amount on account of exchange loss to the overseas principal.
The guidelines for licensing of new banks in the private sector were issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on January 22, 1993. Out of various applications received, RBI had granted licences to 10 banks. After a review of the experience gained on the functioning of the new banks in the private sector, in consultation with the Government, it has now been decided to revise the licensing guidelines.

For well over two decades, after the nationalisation of 14 larger banks in 1969, no banks have been allowed to be set up in the private sector. Progressively, over this period, public sector banks have expanded their branch network considerably and catered to the socio-economic needs of large masses of the population, especially the weaker section and those in the rural areas. The public sector banks now have 91 per cent of the total bank branches and handle 85 per cent of the total banking business in the country. While recognising the importance and the role of public sector banks, there is increasing recognition of the need to introduce greater competition which can lead to higher productivity and efficiency of the banking system. A stage has now been reached when new private sector banks may be allowed to be set up.
