    INDUSTRY PROFILE

    Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were The

    General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are

    now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which

    originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcuttain June 1806. This was one of the three

    presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombayand the Bank of Madras. The

    presidency banks were established under charters from the British East India Company.

    They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's

    independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years the Presidency banks

    acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The Reserve Bank of India formally

    took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's

    independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.

    A couple of decades later, foreign banks such as Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta

    operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was the most active trading port,

    mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and due to which banking activity took

    roots there and prospered.

    EARLY HISTORY

    The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865. However,

    at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense

    of the term. At the time of the American Civil War, a void was created as the supply of

    cotton toLancashire stopped from the Americas. Some banks were opened at that time to

    finance industry, including speculative trading in cotton. With large exposure to

    speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The

    depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently,

    banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades

    until the beginning of the 20th century.

    small banks operated by Indians, and most of them were owned and operated by

    particular communities.

    The presidency banks dominated banking in India. There were also some exchange banksand a number of Indianjoint stockbanks. All these banks operated in different segments

    of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans, concentrated on

    financing foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally under capitalized and

    lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks.

    This segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are

    behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden

    bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments."

    By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such as Punjab

    National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in Mumbai - both of which

    were founded under private ownership. Punjab National Bank is the first Swadeshi Bank

    founded by the leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. The Swadeshi

    movement in particular inspired local businessmen and political figures to found banks of

    and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have survived to the

    present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank,Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara

    Bankand Central Bank of India.

    FROM WORLD WAR I TO INDEPENDENCE

    The period during the First World War (1914-1918) through the end of the Second World

    War (1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India were

    challenging for Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent, and ittook its toll with banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy gaining indirect

    boost due to war-related economic activities. At least 94 banks in India failed between

    1913 and 1918 as indicated in the following table:

    POST-INDEPENDENCE

    The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and West

    Bengal, paralyzing banking activities for months. India's independence marked the end of

    a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The Government of India initiated

    measures to play an active role in the economic life of the nation, and the Industrial Policy

    Resolution adopted by the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted

    into greater involvement of the state in different segments of the economy including

    banking and finance. The major steps to regulate banking included:

    In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was

    nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

    In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve

    Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

    The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an

    existing bank may be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks

    could have common directors.

    However, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the State

    Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This changed with

    the nationalization of major banks in India on 19th July, 1969.

    NATIONALISATION

    By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate the

    development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has emerged as a large employer,

    and a debate has ensued about the possibility to nationalize the banking industry. Indira

    Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual

    conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank

    Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her movewas swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14 largest

    commercial banks with effect from the midnight ofJuly 19, 1969.Jayaprakash Narayan, a

    national leader of India, described the step as a "masterstroke of political sagacity." Within

    two weeks of the issue of the ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies

    (Acquition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on

    9th August, 1969.

    A second dose of nationalisation of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The statedreason for the nationalisation was to give the government more control of credit delivery.

    With the second dose of nationalisation, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking

    business of India. Later on, in the year 1993, one of the nationalised banks, namely, New

    Bank of India was merged with Punjab National Bank. It was the first and only merger of

    a Nationalised Bank into a Nationalised Bank, resulting in the reducing the number of

    Nationalised Banks from 20 to 19.

    After this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer tothe average growth rate of the Indian economy.

    LIBERALISATION

    In the early 1990s the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of

    liberalisation and gave licences to a small number of private banks, which came to be

    known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as Global Trust

    Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up)which later amalgamated with

    Oriental Bank of Commerce,UTI Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank), ICICI Bank and

    HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, kickstarted

    the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all

    the three sectors of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks.

    The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation in the

    norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may be givenvoting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%,at present it has gone up to 49%

    with some restrictions.

    The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time, were

    used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%;Lend at 6%;Go home at 4) of functioning. The

    new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods of working for traditional

    banks.All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just demanded more from their

    banks but also received more.

    CURRENT SITUATION

    Currently (2007), banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product

    range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private

    sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks

    are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks

    in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body,

    with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian

    Rupee is to manage volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly been

    true.

    With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-

    especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail banking,

    mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may also expect M&As,

    takeovers, and asset sales.

    In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in

    Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an investor

    has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI announcednorms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would need to be

    vetted by them.

    Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that

    is with the Government of India holding a stake)after merger of New Bank of India in

    Punjab National Bank in 1993, 29 private banks (these do not have government stake;

    they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They

    have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a

    report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of

    total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and6.5% respectively

    Introduction of many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms

    measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by

    his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.

    The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to

    give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The

    entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than

    money.

    The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any

    crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries

    suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high,

    the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited

    foreign exchange exposure

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Bank basically means business and in business collection of raw data allows the managers to see the real

    scenario and then take a decision as per the data obtained. There are several implications in this statement:

    The bank gets a clear picture of the ULIP Market scenario.

    They can examine the available information in the form of data to make a decision

    They can even get a clear picture of the scenario or potential of the Savings Account and ULIPs

    of their banks in comparison to other banks.

    The information can only be gathered by data collection and then analyzing the available data.

    Therefore, it can be said that the data collection is an important part of the project.

    The projected objectives were considered and as per the requirement a market survey was done.

    DATA COLLECTION

    57

  • 7/31/2019 5073113

    58/76

    The final draft of the questionnaire (see Appendix) was prepared on the basis of the

    observations from the pilot study. These were then finally filled by 1000 customer,

    for the conclusive study.Finally the data collected was fed into the data analysis software- SPSS, to be

    analyzed using statistical techniques.

    Types of Primary Data collected:

    Socioeconomic Characteristics:

    socioeconomic characteristics are sometimes called states of being in thatthey represent the type of people. The factors on which we are working are

    occupation. Monthly transection is also an important parameter but it is

    difficult to verify. Although the amount of money that business unit earns in a

    month is an absolute, not a relative quantity but it is a sensitive topic in our

    society and it is difficult to determine.

    Attitudes/Opinions:

    Through the questionnaire we have tried to get hold of business preference,

    inclination and requirement. Attitude is an important notion in the marketing

    literature, since it is generally thought that the attitudes are related to the

    behavior of businessmen.

    Motivation:

    Through the questionnaire we have tried to find the hidden need or want of

    businessmen and have tried to find if these people can be tapped as the

    potential customer for HDFC Bank.

    58

  • 7/31/2019 5073113

    59/76

    Behavior:

    Behavior concerns what subjects have done or are doing. Through the

    questionnaire we have tried to find out the behavior of the individuals

    regarding the product and their responses. If the responses are favorable

    then the person can be said to be our potential customer. The primary

    data serves as an important tool to measure the behavioral trend of the

    customer. It helps in answering some of the vital Questions.

    Obtaining the Primary Data:

    The data collection was primarily done through communication.Communication involves questioning respondents to secure the desired

    information, using a data collection instrument called questionnaire. The

    questions were in writing and so were the responses.

    Versatility:

    It is the ability of a technique to collect the information on the many types of

    primary data of interest to marketers. It has also been found that some of the people

    do not answer truthfully to all the questions especially in the case of the personal

    details

    CONCLUSIONS

    1. Almost all the Banks offer similar features and facilities with their

    Savings accounts, therefore for existing customers of Current

    Account of any Bank to shift to another Bank; this is very rarely the

    criteria or reason.

    2. The level of service in terms of delivering whatever is promised, fast

    response in case of problems, is the most important benefit that the

    customers seek, from the Bank they have a Current Account with.

    3. Network reach and visibility of a Bank is a very important criterion

    for the customer while opening a Current Account. We can also

    conclude from our analysis that network reach in terms of Branches

    and ATMs is directly proportional to the market share in case of

    Private Players.

    4. In case of a new customer, if a bank approaches it first for opening

    a Current Account with them, then there is a good chance for the

    bank of getting many future businesses and cross sales from the

    deal.

    68

  • 7/31/2019 5073113

    69/76

    5. Aggressive Marketing is the key to increasing the market share in

    this area, since the market has a lot of potential both in terms of

    untapped market .

    RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INCREASING MARKET SHARE

    OF HDFC BANK

    1. Contract Sales Executive (CSE) should be trained to explain the

    product features and its value added services to make customers

    product selection convenient.

    2. Contract Sales Executive (CSE) should recommend right product to

    the right customer so as to ensure a high degree of satisfaction

    among the customer.

    3. The bank needs to make people aware about there products and the

    basic benefits they can derive out of it. And also the differential

    features of its savings account as compared to other banks.70% of

    the people did not even know about the concept, benefits and

    features of its saving accounts.

    4. The bank should also target small business unit for whom

    maintenance of the AQB is not a problem as this segment is not

    much penetrated.

    70

  • 7/31/2019 5073113

    71/76

    5. Though the bank offers free doorstep banking once a day this fact

    is also not known to many customers or they still do not trust this

    service what ever the reason the bankcan popularize this service to

    gain an edge over nationalized banks and Co-operative Banks.

    6. Quality of service has been rated highly important by all

    demofigureic factors as a reason for banking with a particular

    bank, Standard Chartered needs to improve the services provided

    to its existing customers before attracting more in the future and

    use word of mouth as a promotional tool to increase the sales

    potential of its savings account.

    LIMITATIONS

    Some of the limitations of the project are listed as below:

    1. The time period of just 2 months was the major limitation.

    2. Due to the financial and time constraints a cluster analysis of the

    population so as to get better results was not feasible.

    3. It was difficult to break the ice with the common people initially. It

    was a daunting task to convince them to fill in the personal details of

    the questionnaire where they have to mention the monthly income,

    occupation etc.

    4. To convince the people for a proper interviewing process is also

    difficult.

    5. Compilation of data on competitor analysis was difficult due to non-

    availability of correct information.

    6. The figures have been taken as approximations.
