Now, I am looking up for further certifications in banking domain from a growth point of view. What should I do?

My input is based on the belief that you intend to switch profession on the completion of the course. Let me tell you that there are no quick-fix certification courses which will help you switch from IT to finance/ banking. I also understand that you don't want to discontinue working and go for an MBA (Finance). As the cliche goes, there are no shortcuts to success, so be prepared for a long haul. The best course available there is Certified Financial Analyst (or CFA see details in CFA Institute website at CFA Institute). Another good certification would be Financial Risk Manager (or FRM) from Global Association of Risk Professional (or GARP). You can check out the details on Global Association of Risk Professionals. Finally you can also think of having Professional Risk Manager (or PRM) certification from Professional Risk Managers' International Association (or PRIMA). The details for the same is available on Professional Risk Managers' International Association - PRMIA. There are various other courses available in India in finance offered by Indian Institute of Banking and Finance (see for details Welcome to Indian Institute of Banking & Finance), as also by some stock markets like NSE (Page on nseindia. Com) but they would be of limited use and may not help you gain entry into a very competitive finance industry.
