ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
It is great pleasure to express my sense of gratitude to Prof. tanish, without whose valuable
guidance generous help and constant enthusiastic inspiration this assignment titled
“CLASS PROJECT-AXIS BANK” would have never been a success.
I was almost convinced that I was aware of the business & market forces that drive the
Banking industry. However, once I started out working on the same, I realized how grossly
inadequate my knowledge had been. I thank sir for giving me all the valuable inputs all along
and guiding me to once again explore the sector I so much feel a part of.

INDEX
BANKING IN INDIA:
Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be able to meet new
challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors. For the past
three decades India's banking system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. The
most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to only metropolitans or
cosmopolitans in India. In fact, Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of
the country. This is one of the main reasons of India's growth process.
HISTORY:
The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the
journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct phases. They are as
mentioned below:
• PHASE I - Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks
4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/24871427-project-report-on-axis-bank-copy 5/37
• PHASE II - Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991
• PHASE III - Indian Financial & Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.
PHASE I:
The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and
Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay
(1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency Banks. These
three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established which
started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders. During the first phase the
growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948.
There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and
activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The Banking Companies
Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of
1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the
supervision of banking in India as the Central Banking Authority. During those day’s public has
lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit mobilization was slow. Abreast of it the
savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer. Moreover,
funds were largely given to the traders.
PHASE II:
Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In
1955, it nationalized Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale
especially in rural and semi-urban areas. Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector
Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking
segment in India under Government ownership.
The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions
in the Country:
• 1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act.
• 1955: Nationalization of State Bank of India.
• 1959: Nationalization of SBI subsidiaries.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/24871427-project-report-on-axis-bank-copy 6/37
• 1961: Insurance cover extended to deposits.
• 1969: Nationalization of 14 major banks.
• 1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation.
•
1975: Creation of regional rural banks.
• 1980: Nationalization of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore.
After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India raised to
approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.Banking in the
sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence
about the sustainability of these institutions.
PHASE III
This phase has introduced 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 liberalisation 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. 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.

UTI was established in 1964 by an Act of Parliament; neither did the Government of India own
it nor contributes any capital. The RBI was asked to contribute one-half of its initial capital of
Rs 5 crore, and given the mandate of running the UTI in the interest of the unit-holders. The
State Bank of India and the Life Insurance Corporation contributed 15 per cent of the capital
each, and the rest was contributed by scheduled commercial banks which were not nationalized
then. This kind of structure for a unit trust is not found anywhere else in the world. Again,
unlike other unit trusts and mutual funds, the UTI was not created to earn profits.
In the course of nearly four decades of its existence, it (the UTI) has succeeded phenomenally in
achieving its objective and has the largest share anywhere in the world of the domestic mutual
fund industry.'' The emergence of a "foreign expert" during the setting up of the UTI makes an
interesting story. The announcement by the then Finance Minister that the Government of India
was contemplating the establishment of a unit trust caught the eye of Mr. George Woods, the
then President of the World Bank. Mr. Woods took a great deal of interest in the Indian
financial system, as he was one of the principal architects of the ICICI, in which his bank, First
Boston Corporation Bank, had a sizeable shareholding. Mr. Woods offered, through Mr. B.K.
Nehru, who was India's Executive Director on the World Bank, the services of an expert.
The Centre jumped at the offer, and asked the RBI to hold up the finalization of the unit trust
proposals till the expert visited India. The only point Mr. Sullivan made was that the provision
to limit the ownership of units to individuals might result in unnecessarily restricting the market
for units. While making this point, he had in mind the practice in the US, where small pension
funds are an important class of customers for the unit trusts. The Centre accepted the foreign
expert's suggestion, and the necessary amendments were made in the draft Bill. Thus, began
corporate investment in the UTI, which received a boost from the tax concession given by the
government in the 1990-91 Budget. According to this concession, the dividends received by acompany from investments in other companies, including the UTI, were completely exempt
from corporate income tax, and provided the dividends declared by the investing company were
higher than the dividends received.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/24871427-project-report-on-axis-bank-copy 10/37
The result was a phenomenal increase in corporate investment which accounted for 57 per cent
of the total capital under US-64 scheme. Because of high liquidity the corporate sector used the
UTI to park its liquid funds. This added to the volatility of the UTI funds. The corporate lobby
which perhaps subtly opposed the establishment of the UTI in the public sector made use of it
for its own benefits later. The Government-RBI power game started with the finalization of the
UTI charter itself. The RBI draft of the UTI charter stipulated that the Chairman will be
nominated by it, and one more nominee would be on the Board of Trustees. While finalizing the
draft Bill, the Centre changed this stipulation. The Chairman was to be nominated by the
Government, albeit in consultation with RBI. Although the appointment was to be made in
consultation with the Reserve Bank, the Government could appoint a person of its choice as
Chairman even if the Bank did not approve of him.

1. PRODUCT
To begin with, develop the habit of looking at your product as though you were an outsidemarketing consultant brought in to help your company decide whether or not it's in the right
business at this time. Ask critical questions such as, "Is the current product or service, or mix of
products and services, appropriate and suitable for the market and the customers of today?"
Develop a habit of assessing your business honestly and asking,
Are these the right products or services for our customers today?
Compared to your competitors, is your product or service superior in some significant
way to anything else available? If so, what is it? If not, could you develop an area of superiority? Should you be offering this product or service at all in the current
marketplace?
Product variety, quality and its features.
Is there a market for the service on offer?
Is the market growing or shrinking?
Is the service new or established?
The competition prevailing in the market for the service on offer?
The USP of the product.

2. PRICES
The second P in the formula is price. Develop the habit of continually examining and
reexamining the prices of the products and services you sell to make sure they're still
appropriate to the realities of the current market. Sometimes you need to lower your prices. At
other times, it may be appropriate to raise your prices. Many companies have found that the
profitability of certain products or services doesn't justify the amount of effort and resources
that go into producing them. By raising their prices, they may lose a percentage of their
customers, but the remaining percentage generates a profit on every sale. Could this be
appropriate for you?
Sometimes you need to change your terms and conditions of sale. Sometimes, by spreading
your price over a series of months or years, you can sell far more than you are today, and the
interest you can charge will more than make up for the delay in cash receipts. Sometimes you
can combine products and services together with special offers and special promotions.
Sometimes you can include free additional items that cost you very little to produce but make
your prices appear far more attractive to your customers.
In business, as in nature, whenever you experience resistance or frustration in any part of your
sales or marketing activities, be open to revisiting that area. Be open to the possibility that your
current pricing structure is not ideal for the current market. Be open to the need to revise your
prices, if necessary, to remain competitive, to survive and thrive in a fast-changing marketplace.
AXIS bank has developed innovative strategies against its competitors with respect to pricing
by use of technology. The use of technology is the strategic differentiator for AXIS bank that
helps in cost minimization and creating efficiency for the customer. The creation of centralized
processing system linking all its branches has been a major strategic move in this regard.

3. PROMOTION
The third habit in marketing and sales is to think in terms of promotion all the time. Promotion
includes all the ways you tell your customers about your products or services and how you thenmarket and sell to them. Small changes in the way you promote and sell your products can lead
to dramatic changes in your results. Even small changes in your advertising can lead
immediately to higher sales.
AXIS bank has devised an aggressive promotional strategy through its diversified distribution
mix which includes tied agencies and alternate channels like banks, brokers, telemarketing,
direct sales force, internet advertizing .
Some of the promotional activities undertaken are:
Cross Selling exercises
Organizing school level painting competitions in order to create awareness about
the environmental concerns and the wild life to promote kids advantage account.
Wheels of fortune - This promo are targeted at all those customers who avail a
personal loan, car or a two wheeler loan. There will be lucky draw at the end of
the promo and the winners would get exotic prizes.
Personalized promos by sending mailers about various products on offer to all
those who come in contact during the mass promotion strategies.
The promotional strategies are carried out with an objective of positioning AXIS
bank as a one stop financial super market. The focus of the promotions are not just
confined to acquisition of new products but also extends to creating product
awareness, enhancing usage, and also provide value add to the customers for their
faith and loyalty.
These promotions are scientifically designed based on data analysis and data mining
in order to have maximum impact on the target audience.
4. PLACE
The fourth P in the marketing mix is the place where your product or service is actually sold.
You can sell your product in many different places. Some companies use direct selling, sending
19
7/28/2019 24871427 Project Report on Axis Bank Copy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/24871427-project-report-on-axis-bank-copy 20/37
their salespeople out to personally meet and talk with the prospect. Some sell by telemarketing.
Some sell through catalogs or mail order. Many companies use a combination of one or more of
these methods. It refers to those activities of the company that makes the product available to
target consumers. It includes geographic spread, distribution channels, dealer ships that
facilitate network establishment. Axis bank is widely spread in India and its core banking
operations has huge network –
• 580 branches and extension counters foreign offices – in Singapore, Hong Kong,
Shanghai and Dubai
• 2457 ATMs reaches out to 350 cities, towns and villages across the country
AXIS bank owns a wholly owned distribution channel with dedicated workforce, thereby
lowering the operating costs. It uses its network base to good effect to sell customized products.
5. PROCESS
The fifth element in the marketing mix is the process. Develop the habit of standing back and
looking at every visual element in the process or service through the eyes of a critical prospect.
Remember, people from their first impression about you within the first 30 seconds of seeing
you or some element of your company. Small improvements in the process or external
appearance of your product or service can often lead to completely different reactions from your
customers.
With regard to the process of your company, your product or service, you should think in terms
of everything that the customer sees from the first moment of contact with your company all the
way through the purchasing process.
Process refers to the way your product or service appears from the outside. Packaging refers to
your people and how they dress and groom. It refers to your offices, your waiting rooms, your
brochures, your correspondence and every single visual element about your company.
Everything counts. Everything helps or hurts. Everything affects your customer's confidence
about dealing with you.
6. POSITIONING
The next P is positioning, the habit of thinking continually about how you are positioned in the
hearts and minds of your customers.
20
7/28/2019 24871427 Project Report on Axis Bank Copy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/24871427-project-report-on-axis-bank-copy 21/37
How do people think and talk about you when you're not present?
How do people think and talk about your company?
What positioning do you have in your market, in terms of the specific words people use
when they describe you and your offerings to others?
AXIS Bank has positioned its branches in all the strategic position so that it is easily accessible
to maximum customer. It has also come up with some phone banking centre and centralized
collection and payment hub.
CENTRALISED PHONE BANKING CENTRE
The Bank’s Centralized Phone Banking Centre provides customers across the country
Access to the Bank over the phone, handling multiple queries in about 7000 calls per day.
CENTRALISED COLLECTION AND PAYMENT HUB
The Bank’s Centralized Collection and Payment Hub (CCPH) manages the entire collection and
payment activity under the Bank’s Cash Management Services (CMS) across the country,
handling on an average about Rs.5000 crores per month on the collection front and about
Rs.1500 crores per month on the payment front.
7. PEOPLE
The final P of the marketing mix is people. Develop the habit of thinking in terms of the people
inside and outside of your business who are responsible for every element of your sales and
marketing strategy and activities.
It's amazing how many entrepreneurs and businesspeople will work extremely hard to think
through every element of the marketing strategy and the marketing mix, and then pay little
attention to the fact that every single decision and policy has to be carried out by a specific
person, in a specific way. Your ability to select, recruit, hire and retain the proper people, with
the skills and abilities to do the job you need to have done, is more important than everything
else put together. An essential ingredient to any service provision is the use of appropriate staff
and people. Recruiting the right staff and training them appropriately in the delivery of service
is essential if the organization has to obtain competitive advantage.
AXIS bank values its human resources very highly and is on a constant endeavor to
continuously develop its human resources by laying strong emphasis on training development. It

centers.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES OF A MANAGER
Job description
A banker is responsible for establishing and maintaining positive customer relationships,

Banks operate in a fiercely competitive marketplace where change is common. Products and
services offered have to develop to satisfy the expectations and demands of customers and
working with staff and customers to achieve targets has become a very major part of the role.
Typical work activities
Responsibilities and work activities may vary between retail and corporate and commercial
banking. Most retail bankers work in high street branches, dealing with both private and
corporate customers, while some work in regional or head offices. Bankers who work with
commercial or corporate customers may be based in branches or may work from specialized
area or regional offices.
Bankers who have area and regional responsibilities adopt a strategic role and, whilst retaining
overall accountability for service and product delivery, usually delegate supervision of day-to-
day operations to staff in branch outlets.
Responsibilities for both retail and corporate and commercial bankers may include:
• implementing the delivery of sales strategies and targets and motivating employees to
meet these;
• establishing and maintaining effective relationships with new and existing customers,
establishing their needs and advising on the suitability of services;
• visiting business customers and attending meetings and conferences with them and other
professionals;
• managing and supporting staff and facilitating appropriate continuing professional
development (CPD);

procedures;

• assuming overall accountability for products and services, such as consumer lending,
current account transactions, unsecured loans, overdrafts, credit cards and personal
loans;
• networking with appropriate professionals;
• Representing the bank within the wider community.
CORPORATE BANKING
Corporate Banking offers various loan and fee-based products and services to large corporate,
SMEs and to the agriculture sector. The Bank continued with the strategy of diversifying its
customer base, including deeper penetration in higher yielding segment, channel
Finance, SMEs and agricultural finance segments. In order to give an impetus to the SME
segment and to agricultural lending, there was a significant organizational reinforcement by
setting up
SME cells
Adopting a cluster-centric approach for agricultural lending in areas with rich potential
for such activity.
In this direction 6 state-specific and 4 city-specific SME cells were set up. In the area of
agricultural lending, 9 agricultural clusters were formed which focused on agricultural lending.
The Bank will continue to:
Open more rural branches as also set up agricultural clusters to boost its agricultural
business.
Create backward and forward linkages for all players in the agriculture business chain
so as to provide composite financing across the food chain.
The syndication and underwriting of corporate loan activities of the Bank took off during the
year. The Bank experimented with new delivery models for credit, including setting up low cost
rural ATMs at Anand, in order to provide convenient and low cost transaction services to the

suppliers of milk to the Co-operative. Such application of technology provides customer

The Bank was the first Indian bank to introduce the travel currency card, a foreign
denominated pre-paid card, which is positioned as a convenience alternative to the
travelers’ cheque.
The card is issued in five currencies:
U.S. Dollar,
Australian Dollar,
Canadian Dollar,
Pound Sterling
Euro on the VISA flag platform.
During 2005-06, foreign currency sales by the Bank through the travel currency card exceeded
US Dollars 63 million.
The Bank is also the first to introduce
Remittance Cards, which changes the way inward remittances, are sent to India.
Direct remittances are facilitated via tie-ups with major Banks in the US, UK, Europe
and South Asia.
Rewards Card, a pre-paid Rupee card for corporate to facilitate quick payments to their
employees, agents and distributors.
As on 31st March 2006, the Bank has installed 21,084 POS terminals, as against 12,067
POS terminals at the end of the previous year.
The growth of retail and consumer lending in India must be seen as arising from a strong growth
in incomes amongst the middle class and the more affluent segments, leading to changes in
consumer behavior. As the demographically induced shift is structural rather than cyclical, it is
likely to sustain over the medium term and beyond, and constitutes the rationale for the growth
in retail lending.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMPANY TO GAIN UPPER MARKET SHARE:

UTI Bank was one of the first private banks to launch operations in the country in 1994, after
the Government of India passed a resolution in favor of privatization. An IT savvy bank, UTI
Bank is a pioneer in adopting new technologies in the banking sector. UTI has a very large
network of branch offices and extension counters across the country. With over 1700 ATMs,
UTI Bank has the largest ATM network of its kind in India.
CRM:
Privatization opened up the Indian banking sector, allowing a large number of players to offer
retail banking services in the country. Using the latest technologies, UTI Bank introduced
quality services to enhance the banking experience of its customers. As the services stack
expanded, supporting customers became a challenging task. Efficient service and timely support
were the deciding factors for customers to remain loyal to any particular bank, which brought
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) into sharp focus.
BPO:
UTI Bank wanted to establish itself as a customer focused bank and carve a niche for itself
amidst the widespread competition. Setting up a state of the art call center facility that could
provide quality support to customers across the country became vital to further this goal. The
call center was expected to eliminate the load of routine queries that branch operators had to
handle. A dedicated response center would allow branch operators to divert all customers’
queries to the helpdesk number and focus on their core responsibilities instead. Also, a single
window service with a populated knowledgebase would introduce a high degree of
standardization in the replies given to customer queries. The bank was also looking to avoid a
situation where customers would be put on hold for long periods of time. A failover and
redundancy solution was required to guarantee high availability of services and ensure
uninterrupted call traffic. For handling large call volumes, the application infrastructure was
also required to be perfectly scalable. The bank wanted a solution that could accommodate
growth over a long period of time.

Conclusion
UTI Bank has been turned into an Open Source believer after the success of its call center
project. The bank has set the lead for the hundreds of BPOs and call centers in the country to
follow. By running their CRM infrastructure on an open, standards based platform .BPOs can
achieve significant TCO reduction along with high performance and security.
