                  abstract = {This research examines the public perception of banking reforms in India and their effectiveness in improving operational efficiency, transparency, and customer satisfaction across different demographic segments. A sample of 162 respondents was analyzed using SPSS through frequency, reliability, and chi-square tests to assess consumers’ views on the major outcomes of banking reforms. The findings reveal that a large proportion of respondents perceived reforms positively, with 79.6% agreeing that banking reforms have improved overall efficiency, while 77.7% acknowledged better customer service responsiveness. Likewise, 77.8% felt reforms enhanced financial inclusion, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, and 77.2% agreed that digital banking initiatives have improved accessibility and convenience. Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.948 indicated excellent reliability of the scale used, ensuring the consistency of attitudes measured. Significant relationships were observed between age and reform perceptions (p < 0.05), highlighting that younger respondents were more receptive to technology-driven changes, while older ones valued governance and transparency improvements. At the same time, challenges such as corruption, cybersecurity risks, and inefficiency remain prevalent, indicating an incomplete transformation. The results underscore the success of reforms in promoting competitiveness, governance, digitalization, and trust within the banking system. However, the widespread belief (73.5%) that additional reforms are required in areas like technology, risk management, and customer service suggests that reform is an ongoing journey. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to sustain India’s evolving banking ecosystem.},
