A file-based, menu-driven banking system project developed in C as part of an academic assignment at REVA University. It simulates core banking operations such as account creation, deposit/withdrawal transactions, transaction reports, and monthly statements — all stored persistently using binary file handling.
- Open new accounts with validation (minimum balance ₹500)
- Perform deposits and withdrawals via Cash or Cheque
- Display full list of account holders with current balances
- View detailed transaction history per account
- Modify or close existing accounts
- Generate monthly statements
- Data is saved in binary files (
INITIAL.dat,BANKING.dat) - Modular code using multiple header and source files
- Venkat Piyush (Team Lead)
- Varsha TM
- Zainab Siddiqua

- Language: C
- Compiler: GCC
- Platform: Windows (Console-based)
- File Handling: Binary (
fread,fwrite,fseek, etc.) - Console clearing:
system("cls")(Windows only)
To compile and build the project, use:
gcc main.c menu.c account.c reports.c transactions.c util.c -o banking_system -lm- Account numbers are auto-generated using last_accno().
- Minimum opening balance is ₹500; enforced during account creation.
- Withdrawals that reduce balance below ₹500 are rejected.
- Transaction type (Deposit/Withdraw) and mode (Cash/Cheque) are saved.
- All modifications, deletions, and transactions are reflected in binary files.
- Modular functions help organize code cleanly and logically.
- Uses system("cls") for screen clearing (Windows only).
All test cases, validation checks, and known issues (bugs, limitations, edge cases) are documented in the testing report linked below. BankingSystem_TestingDocumentation
- Prevent truncation of name/address during storage — allow full-length storage but truncate only for display.
- Add a feature to support account-to-account fund transfers with proper validation.
- Add a QoL for direct withdrawals or account transfers when deleting account even when the balance is minimum or below minimum.
