BANKNET : Reserve Bank of India  recognised the pressing need to harness information technology for intra-bank and inter-bank communications in the 1980s5 and set up BANKNET. The design and implementation of BANKNET was entrusted to M/s. CMC.

Commissioned in 1991, BANKNET is a packet switched X.25 based network with nodes at Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Calcutta, and a switching centre at Nagpur with a mesh topology. In addition, Bangalore and Hyderabad are connected to Chennai through remote PADs. IBM 4381 mainframes at the 4 NCCs, connected to nodal Packet Switch Exchanges (PSEs) through Front-End processors using NCP/NPSI (Network Control Program/Network Packet Switching Interface), provide messaging facility. BANKNET uses a store-and-collect transmission logic, provided by the Message Transfer Utility(MTU), in the systems.

User banks access BANKNET through leased lines at the respective local centres using asynchronous ports on PADs and PC/UNIX machines with COMET (Computerised Message Transfer and File Transfer) software, developed in 'C'. The Message Transfer Utility enables 400 users to login at a time at each IBM node.

COMET has facilities for message creation, deletion, editing, ascertaining status of messages, listing and receiving acknowledgement etc. It also permits free format messages of 8 lines of 48 characters each.
