Abstract
Banking and credit systems were fairly well advanced in pre-colonial India. Large amounts of capital for commercial credit were also available—though at some cost in terms of high interest rates. This article illustrates these conditions by a study of the banking and other activities of the house of Jagat Seths of Bengal in the mid-eighteenth century.
