Finance Project on Various Credit Schemes of SBI & Other Banks .......
INTRODUCTION TO BANKING
Banking regulation Act, 1949, defines banking as accepting for the
purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public,
repayable on demands or otherwise and with drawable on demand by
cheques, draft or order otherwise.
Functions of Commercial Banks :
To change cash for bank deposits and bank deposits for cash.
To transfer bank deposits between individuals and or companies.
To exchange deposits for bills of exchange, govt. bonds, the secured
and unsecured promises of trade and industrial units.
To underwrite capital issues. They are also allowed to invest 5% of
their incremental deposit liabilities in shares and debentures in the
primary and secondary markets.
The lending or advancing of money either upon securities or without
securities.
The borrowing, raising or taking of money.
The collecting and transmitting of money and securities.
The buying and selling of foreign exchange including foreign bank
notes.
Banking scence in India
The banking sector in India is passing through a period of structural
change under the combined impact of financial sector reforms, internal
competition, changes in regulations, new technology, global
competitive pressure and fast evolving strategic objectives of banks and
their existing and potential competitors. Until the last decade, banks
were regarded largely as institutions rather akin to public utilities. The
market for banking services were oligopolies and Centralized while the
market place was regulated and banks were expected to receive assured
spreads over their cost of funds. This phenomenon, which was
caricatured as 3-6-3 banking in the united states, meaning that banks
accepted deposits at 3%, lent at 6%, and went home at 3 p.m. to play
golf, was the result of the sheltered markets and administrated prices
for banking products. Existence of entry barriers for new banks meant
that competition was restricted to existing players, who often operated
as a cartel, even in areas where the freedom to price their products
existed.
The market place began to change for banks in India as a result of
reforms of the financial sectors initiated in the current decade. On
account of policy measures introduce to infuse greater competitive
vitality in the system, the banking has entered in to a competitive
phase. Competition has emerged not only from within the banking
system but also from non-banking institutions. Lowering of entry
barriers, deregulation of interest rates and growing sophistication of
customers have made banking far less oligopolistic today. Introduction
of capital adequacy and other prudential norms, freedom granted to
enter into new turf’s and greater overlap of functions between banks
and non-banks have forced banks to get out of their cozy little world
and think of the future of the banking.
Emerging environment in India
Full convertibility of rupee leading to free mobility of capital, which
will mean virtual collapse of the national borders for trade and
capital flows.
Greater coordination between monetary, fiscal and exchanged rate
policies for achieving the goals of faster and sustainable economic
growth, macro-economic stability and export promotion.
Close integration of various financial markets such as money
market, capital market and forex market.
Removal of lowering of existing barriers of competitiveness, which
are present today in the form of quantitative instructions on certain
imports protective custom duties, reservation of certain utilities for
the public sector.
Growing privatization and commercialization infrastructure sector.
Today, Banks customers are better informed, more sophisticated and
discerning. They also have a wide choice to choose from various banks and
non-bank intermediaries. Their expectations are soaring. This is
particularly true for banks corporate clientele but also applies to
customers from personal segment.
This is changing profile of customer’s call for a shift from product-based
approach to customers-based approach. A bank aiming at maximizing
customer value must, of necessity, plan for customized products. A
combination of marketing skills and state-of-the-art technology should
enable to bank in maximizing its profits through customer satisfaction.
In the next millenium banks will have to be more and more cautions about
customer service, profitability, increased productivity, to keep face with
changing banking scenario. As banks in India prepare themselves for the
millenium these are the shifts in the paradigm they are likely to
experience. The 21st century may see the dawn of “DARWINIAN
BANKING”. Only the banks could fulfill the demands of markets and
changing items would survive and prosper.

Significance of the Study

SBI V/s other banks” will be helpful for bankers to maintain customers
service policy, for customers while deciding their financing needs and
also helpful for other researchers for further research in the future.
SBI card provides customers with an option, in addition to the existing
banking credit facilities available. With an SBI card customers can
enjoy hassle-free credit facilities.

the consumers during transactions. It would also reveal the problems
that are being faced by the bank employees while dealing with

Review of existing literature
It is very essential to know whether the study has already been
conducted before. If so, how and to what extent ? And because of this
scholar has to go through all the existing literature related to the study.
SBI Card is a new concept introduced in Bhiwani by State Bank of
India only a few months back, very limited studies have been
conducted on the subject. Due to the time restrictions scholar could
seek advice from only the limited literature, which is available with the
bank.
As the concept is completely under the control of various banks and
RBI. So the information is directly taken from these sources.
Conceptualization
As the concept includes two terms i.e. cash credit or working capital loans
and terms loans. Therefore both the terms are taken into consideration in
the proposed study. Due to the privatization of banking sector many big
private players entered in this sector giving a tough competition to the
existing players. So, to face this stiff competition all the public sector banks
have to review their functioning. These aspects will be given importance in
this study.
The concept of SBI card is quite new to the people of Bhiwani. Question
crops in mind what is a SBI card, What is its shape and size, what is its
function. A SBI card is nothing but a identity card containing card
holder’s photographs with signature, card no. Name, A/c No. limit, validity
period, branch code with signature of Branch Manager.
Focus of the problem
The study has been conducted at SBI Bhiwani. The main focus of the study
is to know about customer’s perceptions about various credit schemes. As
SBI card is an integral part of SBF (small business financing). So the due
weightage is given to SBI card. This study has been conducted by
classifying customers into two categories.
