INTRODUCTION

Banking is the backbone of the modern industry. Health of the banking industry is one of the

most important pre-condition for sustained economic growth of any country. The world of

banking has assumed the new dimension at the dawn of 20th century with the advent of tech

banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of fun avarsality. In general banking may be

classified as retail banking and corporate bankig.Retail banking, which is designed to meet the

requirement of individual customers and increase their savings, includes payment of futility bills,

consumer loans, credit cards, checking bank account balance ,ATM’s,transferring funds between

accounts and the like.Corporate banking caters the needs of corporate customers like bill

discounting, opening letter of credit and managing cash.

Many individuals find investments to be fascinating because they can participate in the decision

making process and see the results of their choices. Not all investments will be profitable, as

investor wills not always make the correct investment decisions over the period of years;

however, you should earn a positive return on a diversified portfolio. In addition, there is a thrill

from the major success, along with the agony associated with the stock that dramatically rose

after you sold or did not buy. Both the big fish you catch and the fish that get away can make

wonderful stories.

Investing is not a game but a serious subject that can have a major impact on investor's future

well being. Virtually everyone makes investments. Even if the individual does not select specific

assets such as stock, investments are still made through participation in pension plan, and

employee saving program or through purchase of life insurance or a home. Each of this

investment has common characteristics such as potential return and the risk you must bear. The

future is uncertain, and you must determine how much risk you are willing to bear since higher

return is associated with accepting more risk.

In my study I have done the analysis on the saving and salary accounts of Axis Bank with its

main competitors HDFC and ICICI bank. The study focuses on the main points which makes an

individual driven to a bank and open their accounts.

1.1Industry profile

OVERVIEW OF THE BANKING INDUSTRY:

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in existencein India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to June1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions.

Early history:

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company.

For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently, banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the 20th century.Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which served particular ethnic and religious communities

In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as New Generation techsavvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, revitalized the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with

IIPS Page 4

Page 5: kiran fa.docx

strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks.

The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%,at present it has gone up to 49% with some restrictions. The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time, were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%;Lend at 6%;Go home at 4) of functioning. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savy methods of working for traditional banks.All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just demanded more from their banks but also received more.

Proper understanding and analysis of banking industry.

To know about the brand awareness of Axis Bank and customers preferences about Axis

Bank.

that research.

Along with it I will be gaining the experience of banking industry. This will help me to

chance for me to gain a deep insight of the products launched by Axis and its competitors

like HDFC and ICICI bank.

The research gives me a great chance to communicate the customers directly as they are

the main focus of this study. This will help me to know what a customer want and how

they think while opening an account with banks.

This will also help me to know what people think about the private sector banks in India.

This research will also help in finding that that the customers are happy with the services

provided by the bank and with the features of their saving and savings account.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The research applied in the project is descriptive research as the major objective of the research

is to describe the investment preferences of salaried and self-employed retail investors. The study

aims at comparing the investment patterns of the two.

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

The major objective of descriptive research is to describe something ---- usually market

Characteristics or functions .Descriptive research is conducted for the following reasons:

1. To describe the characteristics of relevant groups, such as consumer, salespeople

organizations, or market areas.

2. To estimate the percentage of units in a specified population exhibiting a certain behavior

3. To determine the perception of products characteristics.

4. To determine the degree to which marketing variables are associated.

5. To make specific predictions.

Descriptive research is preplanned and structured. It is typically based on large representative

samples. A formal research design specifies the method for selecting the sources of information

and for collecting data from those sources.

DATA COLLECTION

The data collected for the research includes both primary and secondary data. As the

research is descriptive and involves the study of investment patterns of retail investors, most

of the data used is primary. Secondary data has been used to support the study at some

places.

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION :

IIPS Page 23

Page 24: kiran fa.docx

The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research

plan chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the

study the researcher should keep in mind two types of data via: primary and secondary. The

primary data are those which are collected afresh and for first time, and thus happen to be

original in character, the secondary data , on the other hand , are those which have already

been passed through statistical procedure.

COLLECTION OF PRIMARY DATA

We collect primary data during the course of doing experiments in an experimental

research but in case we do research of the descriptive type and perform surveys ,

whether sample surveys or census surveys , then we can obtain primary data either

through observation or direct communication with the respondents in one form or

another or through personal interviews . in other words there are several methods of

collecting primary data, particularly in surveys and descriptive researches . Important

ones are

Observation method

Interview method

Questionnaires

In this project the source of primary data collection are structured questionnaire supported

by interviews. This has further helped me in the study while giving recommendations and

establishing the co-relations in the project.

COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA

Secondary data means that are already available i.e .They refer to the data which gave

already been collected and analyzed by someone else. The collection of secondary data has

IIPS Page 24

Page 25: kiran fa.docx

been done by various publications, books, magazines, journals, newspaper and internet. By

way of caution, the researcher, before using data, must see that they possess following

characteristics

Reliability of data

Suitability of data

Adequacy of data

Conclusion and Recommendations

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

IIPS Page 37

Page 38: kiran fa.docx

The study mainly was on the customer orientation that how they think, what they want

from their banks and how they take decision going to any bank.

In this study I found that the bond of Axis Bank with its customers is very strong,

because Axis Bank mainly focuses on retaining their customers.

This study finds that however Axis Bank is not the leading private sector bank but its vast

range of products and availability of options make it one of the better banks in India.

The bank should focus on the semi urban and rural market because these markets are very

good opportunity for someone like Axis Bank which is in growing face. Without

expanding in these markets Axis Bank can not be a leading bank so they should focus on

this market.

The bank should focus on mass banking in order to increase their market share. They

should launch such products which would be within the reach of the lower middle class.

The bank should pay more attention on giving updates and should increase the level of

service providing because the competitors of axis are better in this area.

The bank should try to increase the use of technology like mobile and net banking among

its customers.
