Best Answer

The western variety of joint stock banking was brought to India by the English Agency houses of Calcutta and Bombay. The first bank of a joint stock variety was Bank of Bombay, established in 1720 in Bombay. It collapsed subsequently. However, there is no information available on this bank and probably the bank closed in 1770.
