Why to Invest?

1) Professional Money Management and Research: Mutual funds are managed by professional fund managers who regularly monitor market trends and economic trends for taking investment decisions. They also have dedicated research professionals working with them who make an in depth study of the investment option to take an informed decision.

2) Risk Diversification: Diversification reduces risk contained in a portfolio by spreading it. It is about not putting all the eggs in one basket. As mutual funds have huge corpuses to invest in, one can be part of a large and well-diversified portfolio with very little investment.

3) Convenience: With features like dematerialized account statements, easy subscription and redemption processes, availability of NAVs and performance details through journals, newspapers and updates and lot more; Mutual Funds are sure a convenient way of investing.

4) Liquidity: One of the greatest advantages of Mutual Fund investment is liquidity. Open-ended funds provide option to redeem on demand, which is extremely beneficial especially during rising or falling Markets.

5) Reduction in Costs: Mutual funds have a pool of money that they have to invest. So they are often involved in buying and selling of large amounts of securities that will cost much lower than when customers invest on their own.

6) Tax Advantages: Investment in mutual funds also enjoys several tax advantages. Dividends from Mutual Funds are tax-free in the hands of the investor (This however depends upon changes in Finance Act). Also, capital gain accrued from mutual funds investments for period of over one year is treated as long term capital appreciation and is taxed at a lower rate of 10% without benefit of indexation or 20% with benefit of indexation.

7) Other Advantages: Indian Mutual fund industry also presents several other benefits to the investor like: transparency - as funds have to make full disclosure of investments on a periodic basis, flexibility in terms of needs based choices, very well regulated by SEBI with very strict compliance requirements to investor friendly norms.

It is revealed by survey that bank failed to attract the young generation .i.e. Below 25 years age customer.From the survey it is found that, majority of the customer are from business category. This has been clearly identify by the information obtained by the account holders while survey. ICICI bank fails to reach most of the government employees.From the survey it is clear that 84 % of the customers are having the awareness about the value added services & the banker succeed fulfill the needs of customers. But in some cases the procedure itself has become problem. It is found that the customers are fed of complex procedure & lack of knowledge.Even the banker fails to meet 18% of the customers who are not aware of value added service provided by bank.It is revealed from the survey that only 6 % & 20% customer are using fund transferring & internet banking respectively.From the survey, we the researcher came to know that 46% of the customers are having awareness about internet banking & 54% of the customers are not having the awareness about the internet banking. 31 respondents are suffered from lack of knowledge about internet banking.From the survey it is clear that 80% of the respondents are satisfied with the bank service & the value added services.

In order to get better pay, the agents of ICICI Bank usually give false promises to their customers regarding the quality of service or new schemes so as to lure them. In such cases the final loser is not just the customers but the ICICI Group as whole as it affects all their businesses.

Recommendations / suggestion:-

i. A Major revamp of its Customer care.

Page | 75

A complete over hauling of its customer care department is required so as to reduce complaints of customer in turn which may affect its working.

ii. Introduction of Smart Cards for New as well as Old Credit Card Holders.

ICICI Bank should come up with the concept of smart cards were the data regarding all the accounts & credit cards details of a individual customer is placed in a single cards hence reducing the burden of carrying all credit cards & other necessary items required for banking transaction.

iii. Concentrate on Building Brand Image.

ICICI Bank is very well known institution for investing purposes and as well as for its practices involving anti – social elements; therein affecting its name and Brand value of its self and also ICICI group as a whole.

iv. Completely separation of other alike Businesses like Insurance, Mutual Funds etc.

It is usually seen the ICICI Bank branches are over crowded with ICICI staff though they don’t belong to that branch or does not even belong to the ICICI Bank, they usually are the agents of its other businesses like Insurance, Mutual funds etc – this annoys the customer and creates a bad impression.

v. Major re-look at working of their Agents.

The easiest way to reach to customers is through agents; and the agents of ICICI Bank are highly skilled in this field but they do it at the cost of customer’s innocence. There are many incidences where in the information provided by the agents is false. It’s time for ICICI Bank to look into the matter and rework on its agents policies.

vi. Reduction of Penalty Fees & Special Service Fees.

The penalties & special service imposed by ICICI Bank is very high as compared to public sector banks; this sometimes adds a negative perspective to ICICI Bank.

ICICI bank offers the customer excellent & value added benefits. It offers deposits or fixed

deposits that offer an attractive customer opportunity for money. Marketing efforts put by ICICI

are laudable. Following points may be term into consideration to generate customer’s mare

interest in sales of various products of ICICI hence:

1. for saving accounts

In saving accounts the minimum balance to be maintained quarterly is Rs. 5,000 which

should be decreased somewhat for the convenience of customer.

In the bank@campus minimum balance to be maintained quarterly is Rs. 500 which should

be decreased some what for the convenience of students.

3. Salary accounts

In the salary account the salary of the employees should be deposited on 1 st and 2nd of the

month instead of in the mid of month.
