Competition and the constant changes in technology and lifestyles have changed the face of banking. Nowadays, banks are seeking alternative ways to provide and differentiate amongst their varied services. Customers, both corporate as well as retail, are no longer willing to queue in banks, or wait on the phone, for the most basic of services. They demand and expect to be able to transact their financial dealings where and when they wish to. With the number of computers increasing every year, the electronic delivery of banking services is becoming the ideal way for banks to meet their clients’ expectations. Technology continues to make online banking easier for the average consumer. Banks are using a variety of names for online banking services, such as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Regardless of the given name, these systems certainly offer specific advantages over the traditional banking method. The applicability of various existing laws and banking practices to e-banking is not tested and is still in the process of evolving, both in India and abroad. With rapid changes in technology and innovation in the field of e-banking, there is a need for constant review of different laws relating to banking and commerce. This paper throws light on the evolution of various online shopping techniques and the frauds involved in it. This paper also discusses the legal issues related to prevention of abuse of internet banking frauds in online shopping transactions. Remedial measures to curb this practice also form an integral part of this paper.
