CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION OF BANKING SECTOR
Financial sector reforms were initiated as part of overall economic reforms in the country andwide ranging reforms covering industry, trade, taxation, external sector, banking and financialmarkets have been carried out since mid 1991. A decade of economic and financial sector reforms has strengthened the fundamentals of the Indian economy and transformed the operatingenvironment for banks and financial institutions in the country. The sustained and gradual paceof reforms has helped avoid any crisis and has actually fuelled growth. As pointed out in the RBIAnnual Report 2001-02, GDP growth in the 10 years after reforms i.e. 1992-93 to 2001-02averaged 6.0% against 5.8% recorded during 1980-81 to 1989-90 in the pre-reform period. Themost significant achievement of the financial sector reforms has been the marked improvementin the financial health of commercial banks in terms of capital adequacy, profitability and assetquality as also greater attention to risk management. Further, deregulation has opened up newopportunities for banks to increase revenues by diversifying into investment banking, insurance,credit cards, depository services, mortgage financing, securitization, etc. At the same time,liberalization has brought greater competition among banks, both domestic and foreign, as wellas competition from mutual funds, NBFCs, post office, etc. Post-WTO, competition will only getintensified, as large global players emerge on the scene. Increasing competition is squeezing
profitability and forcing banks to work efficiently on shrinking spreads. A positive fallout of competition is the greater choice available to consumers, and the increased level of sophisticationand technology in banks. As banks benchmark themselves against global standards, there has
been a marked increase in disclosures and transparency in bank balance sheets as also greater focus on corporate governance.
Origin and development of the bankingThe origin of banking in India is traceable in ancient time through the modern banking hardly200 Years old. The main functions of a bank are to accept deposits and grant loans . There areevidences of these functions being performed by a section of the community in the Vedic
periods. There are many References of Debt in the Vedic Literature. During the Ramayana andMahabharata eras banking, which was a side businesses during the Vedic period, became a full-time business activity for the People. During the Smriti period, which followed the Vedic periodand the Epic age, bankers performed the functions of the modern banks. The banking businesswas carried on by the members of the Vaish Community and Manu speaks of earning throughinterest as the business of Vaishyas.

The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reachUS$1 trillion by 2010. An expanding economy, middle class, and technological innovationsare all contributing to this growth.The countrys middle class accounts for over 320 million
people.
In correlation with the growth of the economy, rising income levels, increased standard of living, and affordability of banking products are promising factors for continued expansion.

The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution, Focusing on theexpansion of retail and rural banking. Players are becoming increasingly customer -centric in their pproach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new banking
products and services. Banks are now realizing the importance of being a big player and are beginning to focus their attention on mergers and acquisitions to take advantageof economies of scale and/or comply with Basel II regulation.
Indian banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010 and are poised toreceive a greater infusion of foreign capital, says Prathima Rajan , analyst in Celent's bankinggroup and author of the report. The banking industry should focus on having a smallnumber of large players that can compete globally rather than having a large number of fragmented players."
Growth and present status of the banking sectorCommercial banking can also refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals withdeposits and Loans from corporations or large businesses, as opposed to normal individualmembers of the public (Retail banking). As in the Indian banking The most prominent on our minds in the context of banking these days, perhaps, are the implications arising out of the BaselII accord. Banks, as we all know, are Subjected to more intense regulation as compared to thenon-financial firms. This is probably because the banks possess certain 'special' characteristics:Banks are much more leveraged than the other Firms due to their capacity to garner publicdeposits. The asset - liability structure of the banks is also different from not only the non-financial firms but also the financial firms. To illustrate, the risk in an Insurance company arisesmainly from the liability side of the balance sheet in the form of insurance claims whereas for the
bank the risk mainly comes from the diminution of asset values (for example, illiquid loans thatare not fully recoverable).
Future of the industry
Reflecting on future prospects in banking, immediate focus has to be on the cleaning up of theremnants of undercapitalized banks, while concentrating on improvements in the rural co-operative credit system. In the banking system as a whole, a healthy credit culture encompassingappropriate pricing, quality of service, financial inclusion and contract-enforcement would bevital. The Reserve Bank of India has, in the service of our country, a proven track record and
professionalism, which have lent it considerable credibility - both domestically and globally.This credibility enables the RBI to confidently carry the reforms forward to credibly maintain
price and financial stability, while enabling self-accelerating equitable growth at elevated levels

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may beunderstood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the varioussteps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with logic
behind him. Why a research study has been undertaken, how a research problem has beendefined, in what way and why the hypothesis has been formulated, what data have been collectedand what particular method has been adopted, why particular technique of analyzing data has
been used and a host of similar other questions are usually answered when we talk of researchmethodology concerning a research problem or study.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of in a manner and aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. In fact theresearch design is the conceptual structure within which research I conducted . Research design isneeded because it facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research operations therebymaking research as efficient as possible yielding maximum information with minimalexpenditure of effort, time and money.I have adopted descriptive and conclusive research design. Descriptive research is those studies,which are concerned with describing the characteristics of a particular individual or a group.Since the aim is to obtain the accurate information about the customer in terms of his interesttowards investment in stock sector. I have used the techniques of questioning customer in order to know their consumer behavior, their interests, their needs and etc.It is very important for the sales executive to study the mind of the customer so that the personalvisit would not be a waste of time, money and efforts.
SAMPLE DESIGNAfter deciding on the research approach and Instrument, the researcher must design a Sampling Plan. Thisincludes:
Sample Size/ Population SizeA customer-based survey was conducted in which 50 people were asked to fill the questionnaire in whichall the 50 people belong to Delhi (Punjabi Bagh region) .
Because it was not possible to consider each and every person of different cities and branch, so
sample was randomly selected to perform the survey..

With the number of clients growing, wealth managers are ramping up their capabilities to mange growing volumes of assets.
2. Clients are becoming increasing sophisticated - wealth managers in India believe that high networth clients are becoming more sophisticated in their understanding and demands of wealth
providers, products and services. Many need a Relationship Manager to proactively assist themin managing their wealth. Wealth managers need to ensure that they are equipped with specialistskills and experienced staff to handle sophisticated client needs.
3. There is a shortage of skilled and experienced wealth management advisors - the demand for trained and talented wealth management professionals is increasing a the industry continues toexperience growth. Relationship Managers are required to have a sound knowledge of a widerange of products and services across asset classes being offered to high net worth clients.
4. Most wealth managers have adopted an open product architecture - most wealth mangers aremoving beyond in-house products and are distributing products and services sourced from other

The world's local bank

Most wealth managers focusingon the ultra high net worth segment are pursuing a competitive strategy based ondifferentiation. Other wealth managers focusing on the mass affluent segment are
pursuing a cost leadership strategy.
6. There is relatively low usage of technology tools by wealth managers - IBM BusinessConsulting Service believes that technology plays a very important role in enabling theRelationship Manager to provide effective services to the customer. There is a need for systems, which provide a single view of the customers entire wealth portfolio wealth thewealth provider. While most players provide a consolidated view through a combinationof automated and spreadsheet applications, their are significant variations in their abilityto provide online, real-time access. Additionally, as the mass affluent segment continuesto grow in India, there is a need for online financial planning tools to assist this segmentof clients, eager to be in control of their portfolio and active in selecting and/or validatingtheir selection of products in line with their asset allocation strategy.

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financialgoal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debenturesand other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realisedare shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them.

professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. The flow chart below describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:

LIMITATIONS
Respondents were h esitant in sharing personal details like name, phone numbers etc. with us.
Respondents were not willing to share financial details like personal income, expenditure etc.
The study was done for only 50 people, so the actual figures may be different.
At times the information given by the respondents was found to meet the financial planningmanager in most cases, as they were not willing to share personal financial matters with us.
The PERSONAL FINANCIAL REVIEW SOFTWARE (PFR) is too complex for a layman to
understand and comprehend the results without the help of a Financial Planning Manager (FPM),so while pitching for it on phone explanation of its functions is difficult unless an appointment isgenerated.
The PFR is too lengthy also and involves lot of time to spend for a FPM and the customers,which could result in loss of resources from both sides.
It gives out the desired Debt Equity Mix, the savings-wealth graph and predicts the cash flowsand future requirements but these are mere predictions and depend upon non-happening of contingencies.
CRMS Primary URL u sed to maintain information and transaction record of the customers isredundan t and not updated frequently.
HSBC only brokers insurance for Tata AIG, it does not actually run life insurance, so it only getsa part of premium as commission after doing entire efforts for selling the policy.

CONCLUSION
Wealth Management Services are still at a nascent stage in India. It will take around 2-3 years to become an easily available service. From the results of the study it is quite evident that people are clear of their goals and the investment options to select in case of short-termneeds or traditional investment methods whereas the awareness about newer investmentavenues is evidently low. Most of the customers never analyze their long-term needs andare just indulging in ad hoc savings and investment with no structure or game plan in mind.Since the goals needs etc. are not defined so are the needs for saving and the methods of investment.
Certain things were evident from the results of the study:
Extremely low level of awareness about financial planning services. Undefined long term needs in most cases. Mismatch between needs for investment and the financial instrument selected for the same Most of investments made were ad hoc. No structure or initial planning was done before
investing the money. A significant amount of population invest just to save taxes rather than to build a corpus or
additional income. A major portion of investments was blocked in non-liquid assets like property showing that the
investment portfolio had not taken care of the liquidity needs of investors. The family members and friends rather than the individual himself easily influence the financial
decisions of individuals. There is a need to increase the awareness regarding Financial Planning services as well as try to
tap through referrals by existing customers this would help them to increase their market share.
All these findings show that there is an emerging need for Financial Planning since people havenot got the right acumen to always plan for their needs or at times to think over their
prospective needs and decide how to save for them. There is a great scope for the increasein market of financial planning because people are not always capable of taking the rightdecisions at the right time and need expert advice. With a financial planner at hand peopleand their investments can go a long way therefore everyone can take benefit of Financial
planning services.
