1.1INTRODUCTION TO INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIAWithout 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. The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich

dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks of India. Long time ago; an

account holder had to wait for hours at the bank counters for getting a draft or for

withdrawing his own money. Today, he has a choice. Gone are days when the most

efficient bank transferred money from one branch to other in two days. Now it is simple

as instant messaging or dials a pizza. Money has become the order of the day.

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:

Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks

Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian banking sector

Reforms.

New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial &

Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.

PHASE IThe General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next come 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.

In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab

National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and

1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canera Bank, Indian.

Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935During 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 .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 traders.

Phase IIGovernment 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. It formed State Bank of India to act

as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and State

Governments all over the country .Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of

India was nationalized in 1960 on 19th July, 1969, major process of nationalization was

carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. India Gandhi major

commercial banks in the country were nationalized Second phase of nationalization

Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step

3

Page 4: Sbi and Hdfc“COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION TOWARDS HDFC BANK AND   STATE BANK OF INDIA

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:

1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act.

1955: Nationalization of State Bank of India.

1959: Nationalization of SBI subsidiaries.

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 cores.

After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose 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 IIIThis 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 liberalizations 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. Time is given more .

Importance than money 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

1.2 Banking system in India

The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized (government owned),

private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts a

centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. Since the

nationalization of banks in 1969, the public sector banks or the nationalized banks have

acquired a place of prominence and has since then seen tremendous progress. The need to

become highly customer focused has forced the slow-moving public sector banks to

adopt a fast track approach. The unleashing of products and services through the net has

galvanized players at all levels of the banking and financial institutions market grid to

look anew at their existing portfolio offering. Conservative banking practices allowed

Indian banks to be insulated partially from the Asian currency crisis. Indian banks are

now quoting al higher valuation when compared to banks in other Asian countries (viz.

Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines etc.) that have major problems linked to huge Non

Performing Assets (NPAs) and payment defaults. Co-operative banks are nimble footed

in approach and armed with efficient branch networks focus primarily on the ‘high

revenue’ niche retail segments. The Indian banking has finally worked up to the

competitive dynamics of the ‘new’ Indian market and is addressing the relevant issues to

take on the multifarious challenges of globalization. Banks that employ IT solutions are

perceived to be ‘futuristic’ and proactive players capable of meeting the multifarious

requirements of the large customer’s base. Private Banks have been fast on the uptake

and are reorienting their strategies using the internet as a medium The Internet has

emerged as the new and challenging frontier of marketing with the conventional physical

world tenets being just as applicable like in any other marketing medium. The Indian

banking has come from a long way from being a sleepy business institution to a highly

proactive and dynamic entity. This transformation has been largely brought about by the

large dose of liberalization and economic reforms that allowed banks to explore new

business opportunities rather than generating revenues from conventional streams (i.e.

borrowing and lending). The banking in India is highly fragmented with 30 banking

units contributing to almost 50% of deposits and 60% of advances. Indian nationalized

banks (banks owned by the government) continue to be the major lenders in the economy

due to their sheer size and penetrative networks which assures them high deposit

5

Page 6: Sbi and Hdfc“COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION TOWARDS HDFC BANK AND   STATE BANK OF INDIA

mobilization. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized, private

specialized banking institutions The Reserve Bank of India act as a centralized body

monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. It is the foremost

monitoring body in the Indian financial sector. The nationalized banks (i.e. government-

owned banks) continue to dominate the Indian banking arena. Industry estimates indicate

that out of 274 commercial banks operating in India, 223 banks are in the public sector

and 51 are in the private sector. The private sector bank grid also includes 24 foreign

banks that have started their operations here. Under the ambit of the nationalized banks

come the specialized banking institutions. These co-operatives, rural banks focus on

areas of agriculture, rural development etc., unlike commercial banks these co-operative

banks do not lend on the basis of a prime lending rate. They also have various tax sops

because of their holding pattern and lending structure and hence have lower overheads.

This enables them to give a marginally higher percentage on savings deposits. Many of

these cooperative banks diversified into specialized areas (catering to the vast retail

audience) like car finance, housing loans, truck finance etc. in order to keep pace with

their public sector and private counterparts, the co-operative banks too have invested

heavily in information technology to offer high-end computerized banking services

TYPES OF BANKS

CentralBankThe Reserve Bank of India is the central Bank that is fully owned by the Government. It

is governed by a central board (headed by a Governor) appointed by the Central

Government. It issues guidelines for the functioning of all banks operating within the

country.

CO-OPERATIVESECTOR::---

sector is divided into the following categories.

2.1EVOLUTION OF SBI

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth

century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806.Three

years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2

January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India

sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the

Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained

at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of

India on 27 January 1921. Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks

came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt

needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary

manner to modernize India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas

culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes

occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations

of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.

The eight banking subsidiaries are:

1-State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur (SBBJ)

2-State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH)

3-State Bank of India (SBI)

4-State Bank of Indore (SBIR)

5-State Bank of Mysore (SBM)

6-State Bank of Patiala (SBP)

7-State Bank of Saurashtra (SBS)

8-State Bank of Travancore (SBT)

2.3 SWOT ANALYSIS:

STRENGTHS:1. Brand Name: SBI Bank has earned a reputation in the market over the period

of time (Being the oldest bank in India tracing history back to 1806)

2. Market Leader: SBI is ranked at 380 in 2008 Fortune Global 500 list, and

ranked 219 in 2008 Forbes Global 2000. With an asset base of $126 billion and its

reach, it is a regional banking behemoth.

3. Wide Distribution Network: Excellent penetration in the country with more

than 10000 core branches and more than 5100 branches of associate banks

(subsidiaries).

4. Diversified Portfolio: SBI Bank has all the products under its belt, which help

it to extend the relationship with existing customer. SBI Bank has umbrella of

products to offer their customers, if once customer has relationship with the bank.

Some Products, which SBI Bank is offering are: Retail Banking Business Banking

Merchant Establishment Services (EDC Machine) Personal loans & Car loans

Insurance Housing Loans Government Owned: Government owns 60% stake in

SBI. This gives SBI an edge over private banks in terms of customer security.

5. Low Transition Costs-SBI offers very low transition costs which attracts small

customers.

WEAKNESSES:1. The existing hierarchical management structure of the bank, although strength

in some respects, is a barrier to change.

2.Though SBI cards are the 2nd largest player in the credit card industry, it has

the highest no performing assets (NPAs) in the industry, which stand out to be at

16.28 % (Dec 2007).

3. Modernisation: SBI lags with respect to private players in terms of

modernisation of its processes, infrastructure, centralisation, etc.

15

Page 16: Sbi and Hdfc“COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION TOWARDS HDFC BANK AND   STATE BANK OF INDIA

OPPORTUNITIES:1. Merger of associate banks with SBI: Merger of all the associate banks (like

SBH, SBM, etc) into SBI will create a mega bank which streamlines operations

and unlocks value.

2. Planning to add 2000 branches and 3000 ATMs in 2008-2009. This will further

increase its reach.

3. Increasing trade and business relations and a large number of expatriate

populations offers a great opportunity to expand on foreign soil.

THREATS:

1. Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in

the Indian market due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This

can increase the level of competition and prove a potential threat for the market

share of SBI bank.

2. Consumer expectations have increased many folds in last few years and the

bank has not been responsive enough to meet them on time.

3. Private Banks have started venturing into the rural and semi-urban sector,

which used to be the bastion of the State Bank and other PSU banks

4. Employee Strike: There was an employee strike in the year 2006 which

disrupted SBI’s activities. This can be repeated in the future.

2.7 LITERATURE REVIEW1. Denise K. Conroy :- In his study titled (Customer satisfaction measures in the public

sector: what do they tell us?) attempts to devise customer satisfaction measures,

according to him there are a number of factors which can affect the interpretation of

results - the nature of the customer, service provision, service quality and, for the public

sector, the extent to which consumer sovereignty exists. Resources may be better directed

towards setting and maintaining high levels of standard of service. This study addresses

the difficulties and highlights the complex nature of a customer or service beneficiary

who can be, at the same time, a taxpayer, voter, recipient of financial benefits, with

expectations of the public sector and its delivery agent, yet cannot choose another

provider.

2. Harry Nowka, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, Nancy Buddy, Southwestern

Oklahoma State University Robert Reeder, Southwestern Oklahoma State University and

Daniel Hart, Southwestern Oklahoma State University in their study titled (Customer

Responses: A Comparative Study) wants to determine various variables which influence

customers of a bar and grill. This comparative analysis includes customer responses with

comparisons made to the major competitor's customer responses, student customer

responses, and responses of a panel of non customers assembled to assess potential

customer responses. This study indicates that location can be a significant deterrent to

expansion of the customer base. The personality of the owner can have a positive impact

on customer flow. Analysis of spending patterns indicates that food and pool were

underutilized. The male/female ratio was a determinate of customer flow.

3. Dawn Iacobucci, Amy Ostrom, Kent Grayson:- In their study titled (Distinguishing

Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction: The Voice of the Consumer) presents

two studies that rely on divergent methodologies to examine whether or not quality and

satisfaction have distinct antecedent causes, consequential effects, or both (i.e., whether

or not they should be considered a single construct, or distinct, separable constructs).

They focus on consumers’ understanding and use of the words quality and satisfaction; in

both studies, respondents report whether or not they think quality and satisfaction differ,

and if so, on what dimensions or under what circumstances. In the first study, they use

the qualitative “critical incident” technique to elicit service attributes that are salient to

23

Page 24: Sbi and Hdfc“COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION TOWARDS HDFC BANK AND   STATE BANK OF INDIA

respondents when prompted to consider quality and satisfaction as distinct. The code the

responses to these open-ended survey questions to examine whether quality can be teased

apart from satisfaction, from the respondents’ (consumers’) perspective. In the second

study, to triangulate on the qualitative data, they experimentally manipulated a number of

service attributes drawn from both the first study and from the literature to see whether or

not they have differential impacts on judgments of quality and satisfaction. They did not

presuppose that quality and satisfaction differ—rather, they asked respondents to make a

judgment either of quality or of satisfaction, defining the term as they saw fit.

4. Entrees D. Athanassopoulos:-In this study titled (Customer Satisfaction Cues To

Support Market Segmentation and Explain Switching Behavior) examined the

customer satisfaction cues in retail banking services in Greece. The study proposes an

instrument of customer satisfaction that contains service quality and such other attributes

as price, convenience, and innovation. The proposed framework of customer satisfaction

was verified empirically yielding four distinct facets for business customers and five for

individual customers. The performance implications of the customer satisfaction

instrument are also explored. What is shown is that customer segments, in fact, yield

statistically different satisfaction scores, which verifies the managerial value of customer

segmentation practices. Finally, the facets of customer satisfaction as explanatory cues

for the switching behavior of individual and business customers were tested successfully.

5. Rengasamy Elango and Vijaya Kumar Guide:- In their study titled(A

Comparative Study on the Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction among

Private, Public and Foreign Banks) focuses on the service quality and customer

satisfaction among the private, public and foreign banks in India. An analysis is carried

out to examine the level of awareness among customers and to identify the best sector

which provides qualitative customer service. This becomes relevant in the context of

recommendations of various committees constituted by the Government of India and the

RBI, from time to time, to suggest measures to improve customer service systems of the

public sector commercial banks of India. A well-structured questionnaire is used to

collect the views of respondents across the three banking sectors. The survey instrument

includes various dimensions, pertaining to the quality of customer services in terms of

24

Page 25: Sbi and Hdfc“COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CUSTOMER’S SATISFACTION TOWARDS HDFC BANK AND   STATE BANK OF INDIA

banking personnel, convenient working hours, Web-based services, error free value-

added services and efficient grievance redressed mechanism etc. Apart from the basic

statistical tools such as measures of central tendency, authors also use `factor analysis'

and the `One-way ANOVAs' classification. The idea behind this is to extract the relevant

factors and analyze whether there is any significant difference with respect to service

quality within the three banking sectors. The results indicate that the level of awareness

among the customers improved significantly during the study period. It is interesting to

note that the results are consistent with the previous studies conducted on customer

service aspects, and it has been observed that the foreign and the new generation private

sector banks are serving the customers better. This has larger implications on the public

sector commercial banks in India with respect to customer service delivery aspects. It is

high time the public sector commercial banks made efforts to revamp their approach

towards customers, so as to perform better and derive competitive advantage in the long

run.

CON C LUSION5.1 After conducting market research for comparative study of customer’s satisfaction

towards HDFC bank and state bank of India we came to know different needs of

consumers, their valuable suggestions, and responses to the different questions. With

this information we can conclude that Customer satisfaction level of most

respondents is higher for SBI and HDFC banks which is provided by survey. Higher

satisfaction level of SBI and HDFC banks.SBI and HDFC provides good service

facilities benefit for the customers like ATM service Net banking facility Location

advantage etc.

5.2 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Both the customers from SBI and HDFC bank have suggested that the bank

should open one of its branches in industrial area like focal point.

2. One of the most common suggestions was to lower down the minimum balance

required in the saving s account.

3. Staff should be more co-operative to the customers.

4. Customers were not fully aware of the services and the various charges which

they have to pay. Therefore Banks should try to give some more information to its
