Classification of Banks in India is done into four main classes. The classes include commercial banks, savings banks, public sector banks and private sector banks.
A Public Sector bank is one in which, the Government of India holds a majority stake. It is as good as the government running the bank.Since the public decide on who runs the government, these banks that are fully/partially owned by the government are called public sector banks.
Private sector banks are better than public sector banks in the following aspects:They are more customer friendly and customer oriented. If they don't get customers they go out of business (Unlike public sector banks that would stay in business anyway because they are owned and run by the government)They offer more facilities than public sector banks (Because of the same reason in point a)They offer better interest rates for depositsThey offer a wider variety of products.I am not saying that public sector banks don't do all these things, just that they don't do it as aggressively or effectively as private sector banks because their existence is not dependent on customers whereas for private banks they will be bankrupt if customers refuse to bank with them.
They both mean the same. The terms Nationalized or Public Sector both refer to the same thing. A Nationalized bank is one that is owned by the government of the country. Since the people decide who the government is, they are also referred to as public sector banks. The government is responsible for the money deposited into the accounts of these banks.
