Traditional banking activities
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts forcustomers, paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collectingcheques deposited to customers' current accounts. Banks also enable customer
payments via other payment methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, andATM.
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current account, acceptingterm deposits and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and bonds.Banks lend money by making advances to customers on current account, bymaking installment loans, and by investing in marketable debt securities andother forms of lending.
Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is consideredindispensable by most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that
provide payment services such as remittance companies are not normallyconsidered an adequate substitute for having a bank account.
Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, andlend most funds households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lendersprovide a significant and in many cases adequate substitute for bank loans, andmoney market funds, cash management trusts and other non-bank financialinstitutions in many cases provide an adequate substitute to banks for lendingsavings to.
Definition
The definition of a bank varies from country to country.
UnderEnglish common law, a banker is defined as a person who carries on thebusiness of banking, which is specified as
conducting current accounts for his customers paying cheques drawn on him, and Collecting cheques for his customers.
In most English common law jurisdictions there is a Bills of Exchange Act thatcodifies the law in relation to negotiable instruments, including cheques, and thisAct contains a statutory definition of the term banker: banker includes a body ofpersons, whether incorporated or not, who carry on the business of banking.Although this definition seems circular, it is actually functional, because it ensuresthat the legal basis for bank transactions such as cheques do not depend on howthe bank is organized or regulated.
The business of banking is in many English common law countries not defined bystatute but by common law, the definition above. In other English common lawjurisdictions there are statutory definitions of the business of banking or banking
business. When looking at these definitions it is important to keep in minds thatthey are defining the business of banking for the purposes of the legislation, and

not necessarily in general. In particular, most of the definitions are fromlegislation that has the purposes of entry regulating and supervising banks ratherthan regulating the actual business of banking. However, in many cases thestatutory definition closely mirrors the common law one. Examples of statutorydefinitions:
"banking business" means the business of receiving money on current ordeposit account, paying and collecting cheques drawn by or paid in bycustomers, the making of advances to customers, and includes such otherbusiness as the Authority may prescribe for the purposes of this Act;(Banking Act (Singapore), Section 2, Interpretation).
"banking business" means the business of either or both of the following:
1. receiving from the general public money on current, deposit, savings orother similar account repayable on demand or within less than [3
months] ... or with a period of call or notice of less than that period;2. paying or collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers
Since the advent ofEFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale), directcredit, direct debit and internet banking, the cheque has lost its primacy in mostbanking systems as a payment instrument. This has lead legal theorists tosuggest that the cheque based definition should be broadened to includefinancial institutions that conduct current accounts for customers and enablecustomers to pay and be paid by third parties, even if they do not pay and collectcheques.
Accounting for bank accounts
Bank statements are accounting records produced by banks under the variousaccounting standards of the world. Under GAAP and IFRES there are two kindsof accounts: debit and credit. Credit accounts are Revenue, Equity and Liabilities.Debit Accounts are Assets and Expenses. This means you credit accounts toincrease their balances and you debit accounts to increase their balances.
This also means you debit your savings account every time you deposit moneyinto it (and the account is normally in deficit) and you credit your credit card
account every time you spend money from it (and the account is normally incredit).
However, if you read your bank statement, it will say the opposite- that you havecredited your account when you deposit money and you debit when you withdrawit. If you have cash in your account you have a positive or credit balance and ifyou are overdrawn it will say you have a negative or a deficit balance.
The reason for this is because the bank, and not you, has produced the bankstatement. Your savings might be your assets, but it is the bank's liability, so yoursavings account is a liability account which is a credit account and should have a
positive credit balance. Your loans are your liabilities but the bank's assets sothey are debit accounts which should have a negative balance.

Below where bank transactions, balances, credits and debits are discussed, theyare done so from the viewpoint of the account holder which is traditionally whatmost people are used to seeing.
Wider commercial role
However the commercial role of banks is wider than banking, and includes:
issue ofbanknotes (promissory notes issued by a banker and payable tobearer on demand)
processing of payments by way of telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, internetbanking or other means
issuing bank drafts and bank cheques accepting money on term deposit lending money by way ofoverdraft, installment loan or otherwise providing documentary and standby letters of credit, guarantees,
performance bonds, securities underwriting commitments and other formsof off balance sheet exposures
safekeeping of documents and other items in safe deposit boxes currency exchange sale, distribution or brokerage, with or without advice, of insurance, unit
trusts and similar financial products as a 'financial supermarket'
Economic functions
The economic functions of banks include:
1. Issue of money, in the form ofbanknotes and current accounts subject tocheque or payment at the customer's order. These claims on banks canact as money because they are negotiable and/or repayable on demand,and hence valued at par and effectively transferable by mere delivery inthe case ofbanknotes, or by drawing a cheque, delivering it to the payeeto bank or cash.
2. netting and settlement of payments -- banks act both as collectionagent and paying agents for customers, and participate in inter-bankclearing and settlement systems to collect, present, be presented with, andpay payment instruments. This enables banks to economies on reserves
held for settlement of payments, since inward and outward paymentsoffset each other. It also enables payment flows between geographicalareas to offset, reducing the cost of settling payments betweengeographical areas.
3. credit intermediation -- banks borrow and lend back-to-back on their ownaccount as middle men
4. Credit quality improvement -- banks lend money to ordinary commercialand personal borrowers (ordinary credit quality), but are high qualityborrowers. The improvement comes from diversification of the bank'sassets and the banks own capital which provides a buffer to absorb losseswithout defaulting on its own obligations. However, since banknotes and
deposits are generally unsecured, if the bank gets into difficulty andpledges assets as security to try to get the funding it needs to continue to

operate, this puts the note holders and depositors in an economicallysubordinated position.
5. Maturity transformation -- banks borrow more on demand debt and shortterm debt, but provide more long term loans. Bank can do this becausethey can aggregate issues (e.g. accepting deposits and issuing banknotes)
and redemptions (e.g. withdrawals and redemptions of banknotes),maintain reserves of cash, invest in marketable securities that can bereadily converted to cash if needed, and raise replacement funding asneeded from various sources (e.g. wholesale cash markets and securitiesmarkets) because they have a high and more well known credit qualitythan most other borrowers.
Law of banking
Banking law is based on a contractual analysis of the relationship between thebank and the customer. The definition of bank is given above, and the definition
of customer is any person for whom the bank agrees to conduct an account.
The law implies rights and obligations into this relationship as follows:
1. The bank account balance is the financial position between the bank andthe customer, when the account is in credit, the bank owes the balance tothe customer, when the account is overdrawn, and the customer owes thebalance to the bank.
2. The bank engages to pay the customer's cheques up to the amountstanding to the credit of the customer's account, plus any agreed overdraftlimit.
3. The bank may not pay from the customer's account without a mandatefrom the customer, e.g. a cheque drawn by the customer.
4. The bank engages to promptly collect the cheques deposited to thecustomer's account as the customer's agent, and to credit the proceeds tothe customer's account.
5. The bank has a right to combine the customer's accounts, since eachaccount is just an aspect of the same credit relationship.
6. The bank has a lien on cheques deposited to the customer's account, tothe extent that the customer is indebted to the bank.
7. The bank must not disclose the details of the transactions going through
the customer's account unless the customer consents, there is a publicduty to disclose, the bank's interests require it, or under compulsion of law.8. The bank must not close a customer's account without reasonable notice
to the customer, because cheques are outstanding in the ordinary courseof business for several days.
These implied contractual terms may be modified by express agreement betweenthe customer and the bank. The statutes and regulations in force in thejurisdiction may also modify the above terms and/or create new rights, obligationsor limitations relevant to the bank-customer relationship.
Entry regulation
22
7/31/2019 Amogh upadhyay 2010
23/46
Main article: Banking regulation
Currently in most jurisdictions commercial banks are regulated by governmententities and require a special bank license to operate.
Usually the definition of the business of banking for the purposes of regulation isextended to include acceptance of deposits, even if they are not repayable to thecustomer's order, however money lending, by itself, is generally not included inthe definition.
Unlike most other regulated industries, the regulator is typically also a participantin the market, i.e. government owned bank (a central bank). Central banks alsotypically have a monopoly on the business of issuing banknotes. However, insome countries this is not the case, e.g. in the India the Financial ServicesAuthority licenses banks and some commercial banks, such as the Bank ofScotland, issue their own banknotes in competition with the Bank of England, the
UK government's central bank.
Some types of entity may be partly or wholly exempt from bank licenserequirements and are regulated by separate regulators, e.g. building societiesand credit unions.
The requirements for the issue of a bank license vary between jurisdictions buttypically include:
1. Minimum capital
2. Minimum capital ratio3. 'Fit and Proper' requirements for the bank's controllers, owners, directors,and/or senior officers
4. Approval of the bank's business plan as being sufficiently prudent andplausible.
Politics and history
Main article: History of banking
Banks have influenced economies and politics for centuries. Historically, the
primary purpose of a bank was to provide loans to trading companies. Banksprovided funds to allow businesses to purchase inventory, and collected thosefunds back with interest when the goods were sold. For centuries, the bankingindustry only dealt with businesses, not consumers. Commercial lending today isa very intense activity, with banks carefully analyzing the financial condition oftheir business clients to determine the level of risk in each loan transaction.Banking services have expanded to include services directed at individuals, andrisk in these much smaller transactions is pooled.
Origin of the word
The name bank derives from the HDFC Bank bench", used during theRenaissance by Florentines bankers, who used to make their transactions above

a desk covered by a green tablecloth. However, there are traces of bankingactivity even in ancient times.
In fact, the word traces its origins back to the Ancient Roman Empire, wheremoneylenders would set up their stalls in the middle of enclosed courtyards
called macella on a long bench called a bancu, from which the words banco andbank are derived. As a moneychanger, the merchant at the bancu did not somuch invest money as merely convert the foreign currency into the only legaltender in Rome- that of the Imperial Mint.
Banking channels
Banks offer many different channels to access their banking and other services:
A branch, banking centre or financial centre is a retail location where abank or financial institution offers a wide array of face-to-face service to its
customers ATM is a computerized telecommunications device that provides a
financial institution's customers a method of financial transactions in apublic space without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. Most banksnow have more ATMs than branches, and ATMs are providing a widerrange of services to a wider range of users. For example in Hong Kong,most ATMs enable anyone to deposit cash to any customer of the bank'saccount by feeding in the notes and entering the account number to becredited. Also, most ATMs enable card holders from other banks to gettheir account balance and withdraw cash, even if the card is issued by aforeign bank.
Mail is part of the postal system which itself is a system wherein writtendocuments typically enclosed in envelopes, and also small packagescontaining other matter, are delivered to destinations around the world.This can be used to deposit cheques and to send orders to the bank topay money to third parties. Banks also normally use mail to deliverperiodic account statements to customers.
Telephone banking is a service provided by a financial institution whichallows its customers to perform transactions over the telephone. Thisnormally includes bill payments for bills from major bilkers (e.g. forelectricity).
Online banking is a term used for performing transactions, payments etc.over the Internet through a bank, credit union or building society's securewebsite
The HDFC banking industry
The banking industry is a highly regulated industry with detailed and focusedregulators. All banks with FDIC-insured deposits have the FDIC as a regulator;however, for examinations, the Federal Reserve is the primary federal regulatorfor Fed-member state banks; the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency(OCC) is the primary federal regulator for national banks; and the Office of Thrift
Supervision, or OTS, is the primary federal regulator for thrifts. State non-

25/46
member banks are examined by the state agencies as well as the FDIC. Nationalbanks have one primary regulatorthe OCC.
Each regulatory agency has their own set of rules and regulations to which banksand thrifts must adhere.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) was establishedin 1979 as a formal interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles,standards, and report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions.Although the FFIEC has resulted in a greater degree of regulatory consistencybetween the agencies, the rules and regulations are constantly changing.
In addition to changing regulations, changes in the industry have led toconsolidations within the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OTS and OCC. Offices havebeen closed, supervisory regions have been merged, staff levels have beenreduced and budgets have been cut. The remaining regulators face an increased
burden with increased workload and more banks per regulator. While banksstruggle to keep up with the changes in the regulatory environment, regulatorsstruggle to manage their workload and effectively regulate their banks. Theimpact of these changes is that banks are receiving less hands-on assessmentby the regulators, less time spent with each institution, and the potential for moreproblems slipping through the cracks, potentially resulting in an overall increasein bank failures across the United States.
The changing economic environment has a significant impact on banks and thriftsas they struggle to effectively manage their interest rate spread in the face of lowrates on loans, rate competition for deposits and the general market changes,industry trends and economic fluctuations. It has been a challenge for banks toeffectively set their growth strategies with the recent economic market. A risinginterest rate environment may seem to help financial institutions, but the effect ofthe changes on consumers and businesses is not predictable and the challengeremains for banks to grow and effectively manage the spread to generate areturn to their shareholders.
The management of the banks asset portfolios also remains a challenge intodays economic environment. Loans are a banks primary asset category andwhen loan quality becomes suspect, the foundation of a bank is shaken to the
core. While always an issue for banks, declining asset quality has become a bigproblem for financial institutions. There are several reasons for this, one of whichis the lax attitude some banks have adopted because of the years of goodtimes. The potential for this is exacerbated by the reduction in the regulatoryoversight of banks and in some cases depth of management. Problems are morelikely to go undetected, resulting in a significant impact on the bank when theyare recognized. In addition, banks, like any business, struggle to cut costs andhave consequently eliminated certain expenses, such as adequate employeetraining programs.
Banks also face a host of other challenges such as aging ownership groups.
Across the country, many banks management teams and board of directors areaging. Banks also face ongoing pressure by shareholders, both public and
25
7/31/2019 Amogh upadhyay 2010
26/46
private, to achieve earnings and growth projections. Regulators place addedpressure on banks to manage the various categories of risk. Banking is also anextremely competitive industry. Competing in the financial services industry hasbecome tougher with the entrance of such players as insurance agencies, creditunions, check cashing services, credit card companies, etc.
As a reaction, banks have developed their activities in financial instruments,through financial market operations such as brokerage and trading and becomebig players in such activities.
Profitability
A bank generates a profit from the differential between the level of interest it paysfor deposits and other sources of funds, and the level of interest it charges in itslending activities. This difference is referred to as the spread between the cost offunds and the loan interest rate. Historically, profitability from lending activities
has been cyclical and dependent on the needs and strengths of loan customers.In recent history, investors have demanded a more stable revenue stream andbanks have therefore placed more emphasis on transaction fees, primarily loanfees but also including service charges on an array of deposit activities andancillary services (international banking, foreign exchange, insurance,investments, wire transfers, etc.). Lending activities, however, still provide thebulk of a commercial bank's income.

Government has also started investing in private banking sector.Market is fully to capture because the branch has recently set up its business.
THREATS
Competition in banking sector is increase sing with the entry of privategiants like ICICI prudential, Bajaj Allanze, Sahara
Selling attitude the company always has to be maintained in order tocompany other insurance company.

Segmentation of target market is best way to work in. Womens are proving better FC. Cut throat competition as new insurance companies are also opening
branch. Public accepts Ulip readily. Private insurance sector making their place in insurance sector. FC should be approach according to need.
In short can be said that HDFC Banking has to do more for their good futureas it is on a good position as private insurance is concerned. According tosurvey there are various player in market ( Kota) and really it is difficult forHDFC Banking to survive on the basis of brand name for different products.
So there is not much awareness in kota city of HDFC Banking as it startedworking from July 2004 what we think HDFC Banking just needs promotional
activities.
During our promotional activities when we found that HDFC Banking couldcapture big market in kota. They would be on n0. One position in Kotabecause the benefits and flexibility which HDFC providing is not provide byany other insurance company in Kota. ICICI Bank is the only private player,which is there in competition with HDFC Banking. As ICICI banking launchfirst so it capture the market very soonAt last we want to state that HDFC Banking need promotional actives and thebenefits should be given to the customers. Customer satisfaction should befirst preference.
