The nationalization of banks in India started in 1955 with the take over the Reverse Bank of India and major move done under the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The reasoning behind nationalizing the banks were to break the ownership and control of banks that were family owned; to stop the concentration of wealth and economic power and to increase saving to all citizens in the country and to answer the needs of the priority sectors.
