PROJECT REPORT ON CONTEMPORARY ISSUE

ON

COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN PRIVATE SECTOR

BANKS AND PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
1 Introduction
1.1 Background
The world of banking has assumed a new dimension at dawn of the 21st century
with the advent of tech banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of
universality. In general, banking may be classified as retail and corporate banking.
Retail banking, which is designed to meet the requirement of individual customers
and encourage their savings, includes payment of utility bills, consumer loans,
credit cards, checking account and the like. Corporate banking, on the other hand,
caters to the need of corporate customers like bills discounting, opening letters of
credit, managing cash, etc.

Metamorphic changes took place in the Indian financial system during the eighties
and nineties consequent upon deregulation and liberalization of economic policies
of the government. India began shaping up its economy and earmarked ambitious
plan for economic growth. Consequently, a sea change in money and capital
markets took place. Application of marketing concept in the banking sector was
introduced to enhance the customer satisfaction the policy of privatization of
banking services aims at encouraging the competition in banking sector and
introduction of financial services. Consequently, services such as Demat, Internet
banking, Portfolio Management, Venture capital, etc, came into existence to cater
to the needs of public.

The introduction to the marketing concept to banking sectors can be traced back to
American Banking Association Conference of 1958. Banks marketing can be
defined as the part of management activity, which seems to direct the flow of
banking services profitability to the customers. The marketing concept basically
requires that there should be thorough understanding of customer need and to learn
about market it operates in. Further the market is segmented so as to understand the
requirement of the customer at a profit to the banks.
1.2 What is Bank?

According to the Oxford dictionary Bank can be defined as,

“An establishment for the custody of money, which it pays out, on a

customer’s order.”

Banking Company in India has been defined in the Banking Companies Act 1949
as,

“One which transacts the business of banking which means the accepting,
for the purpose of lending or investment of the deposits of money from the public,
repayable on demand, or otherwise and withdraw able be cheque, draft, order or
otherwise.”

The banking system is an integral subsystem of the financial system. It represents

an important channel of collecting small savings form the households and lending
it to the corporate sector.

The Indian banking system has Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as the apex body for
all matters relating to the banking system. It is the Central Bank of India. It is also
known as the Banker To All Other Banks.

1.3 Indian Banking System

Banking in India has its origin as early as the Vedic period. During the Mughal
period, indigenous Bankers played a very important role in lending money
financing foreign trade and commerce. During the days of East India Company, it
was turn of the agency houses to carry on the business. “The General Bank of
India” was the first to join sector in the year 1786.The others that followed were
the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal bank. The bank of Hindustan is reported to
have continued till 1906 while the other two failed in the meantime.

In the first half of the 19th century the East India Company established three banks:

Bank of Bengal (1809).

Bank of Bombay (1840).

Bank of Madras (1843).

These three banks are also known as Presidency Banks were independent units and
functioned well. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank
of India was established on 27th january1921, which started as private shareholders
banks, mostly Europeans shareholders, with the passing of time Imperial bank was
taken over by the newly constituted State bank of India act in1955.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, Canara Bank,
Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in
1935. On July, 1969, 14 major banks of India were nationalized and on 15th April,
1980 six more commercial private banks were also taken over by the government.

1.4 Reserve Bank of India

The Indian banking system has The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as the apex body
from all matters relating to the banking system. It is the “Central Bank” of India
and act as the banker to all other banks.

Functions of RBI:

 Currency issuing authority.

 Banker to the government.

 Banker to other Bank.

 Framing of monetary policy.

 Exchange control.

 Custodian to foreign exchange and gold reserves.

 Development activities.

 Research and development in the banking sector.

1.5 Classification of Banks

1.5.1 On the basis of ownership

Public Sector Banks

Public sector banks are those banks that are owned by the government. The
government owns these banks. In India 20 banks were nationalized in 1969 and
1980 respectively. Social welfare is there main objective.

Private Sector Banks

These banks are those banks that are owned and run by private sector. An
individual has control over these banks in proportion to the shares of the banks
held by him.

Co-Operative Banks

These are those banks that are jointly run by a group of individuals. Each
individual has an equal share in these banks. Its shareholders manage the affairs of
the bank.

1.5.2 According to the Law

Scheduled Bank

Schedule banks are the banks, which are included in the second schedule of the
banking regulation act 1965. According to this schedule bank:

1. Must have paid-up capital and reserve of not less than Rs500, 000.

2. Must also satisfy the RBI that its affairs are not conducted in a manner
determinate to the interest of its depositors.

Schedule banks are sub-divided as:-

a) State co-operative banks

b) Commercial banks

Non-Scheduled Banks
Non -schedule banks are the banks, which are not included in the second schedule
of the banking regulation act 1965. It means they do not satisfy the conditions lay
down by that schedule. These are the banks having paid up capital, less than
Rs.5Lakhs. They are further classified as follows:-

A. Central Co-operative banks and Primary Credit Societies.

B. Commercial banks

1.5.3 On the basis of function

Commercial Banks

These are the banks that do banking business to earn profit. These banks make
loans for short to business and in the process create money. Credit creation is the
main function of these banks.

Foreign Banks

These are those banks that are incorporated by foreign company. They have set up
their branches in India. These banks have their head offices in foreign countries.
Their principle function is to make credit arrangement or the export and the import
of the country and these banks deals in foreign exchange.

Industrial Banks

Industrial banks are those banks that offer long term and medium term loan to the
industries and also work for their development. These banks help industries in sale
of their shares, debentures and bonds. They give loan to the industries for the
purchase of land and machinery.
Agricultural Banks

Agricultural banks are those banks that give credit to agricultural sector of the
economy.

Saving Banks

The principle function of these banks is to collect small savings across the country
and put them to the productive use. In India department of post office functions a

currency notes and acts a banker's bank. Economic stability is the principle
function of this bank. In short, it regulates and controls the banking system of the
country. RBI is the Central Bank of India.

1.6 Privatization of Indian Banking

There are two areas of competitions which banking industry is facing

internationally and nationally. In the pre-liberalization era, Indian banks could
grow in a closed economy but the banking sector opened up for private
competition. It is possible that private banks could become dominant players even
within India. It has been recorded a rapid rise of the new private sector banks and it
has tracked the transformation of the public sector banks as they grapple with the
changes of financial deregulation.
Use of ATM cards, Internet Banking, Phone Banking, Mobile Banking are the new
innovative channels of banking which are being widely used as they result in
saving both time and money which are two essential things that every one is short
of and is running to catch hold of them. Moreover private sector banks are aligning
its infrastructures, marketing quality and technology to build deep commitment in
building consumer and retail banking. The main focus of these banks is on
innovative range of services or products.

1.7 Structure of Banking System

Different countries of the world have different types of banking systems. However,
commercial banking had grown under all these banking systems. To understand the
structure of banking system, let us take up various types of banking systems one by
one. These types are:

1. Unit Banking

Unit Banking originated in the United State of America. It grew in the United
States of America. As a counter part of independent or industrial units.

“An independent unit bank is a corporation that operates one office and that is not
related to other banks through either ownership or control”. (Shaper, Solomon and
White).
Thus under unit banking, a single bank is a complete organization in itself having
its own management. The scale of operation is small and the area is restricted to a
locality only. Unit banking is localized banking and is much more responsive to
the needs of the locality. It has better understanding of the local problems and
conditions, which helps it to cater to the needs of the area in a better way. The
failure of the unit bank will not endanger the banking system and economy. It is
free from the difficulties and diseconomies of large scale operations.

2. Branch Banking

Economic and Managerial problems faced by the unit banks let to the emergence
of banking system. Now, This the most popular and important banking system. In
branch banking, a bank has a large network of branches scattered all over the
country. Branch banking developed in England. Subsequently most of the
countries of the world adopted the system. In terms of branches, the State Bank of
India has emerged as one of the largest banks in the world.

Branch Banking tends to bring homogeneity in the prevailing Interest Rates as it

increases the mobility of resources from one place to another. It is easier for the
Central Bank to exercise Control. In this system there more safety and liquidity of
funds.

3. Chain Banking

Shaper, Solomon and White have defined Chain Banking as

“An arrangement by which two or more banks –each of which retains its identity,
capital and personnel –are brought under common control by any device other than
a Holding Company.”

Chain banking overcomes certain limitations of unit banking. But the system
suffers from certain limitations of its own. There may be a lack of co-ordination,
proper control etc. The system is inflexible.

4. Group Banking :

It is similar to Chain Banking, the difference being that under Group Banking two
or more banks are brought under the control of the same management through a
Holding Company. Both the systems aim at gaining the advantages of large scale
operations. Both the systems developed in the United State of America as a result
of attempts to overcome the difficulties or limitations of unit banking.

5. Correspondent Banking

Under Correspondent banking, small banks serving local communities hold

deposits with joint banks serving in big cities. This kind of banking is prevalent in
U.S.A. The correspondent banks perform two important services of outstation
cheque clearing and loan participation for the respondent banks while they benefit
for the deposit funds of respondent banks.

1.8 Functions of Banks

1.8.1 Primary Functions :
1) Accepting of Deposits : A bank accepts deposits from the public. People can
deposit their cash balances in either of the following accounts to their
convenience:-

a. Fixed or Time Deposit Account : Cash is deposited in this account for

a fixed period. The depositor gets receipts for the amount deposited. It
is called Fixed Deposit Receipt. The receipt indicates the name of the
depositor, amount of deposit, rate of interest and the period of deposit.
If the depositor stands in need of the amount before the expiry of fixed
period, he can withdraw the same after paying the discount to the bank.

b. Savings Account : This type of deposit suits to those who just want to
keep their small savings in a bank and might need to withdraw them
occasionally. Banks provide a certain rate of interest on the minimum
balance kept by the depositor during the month.

c. Current Account : This type of account is kept by the businessman

who are required to withdraw money every new and then. Banks do
not pay any interest on this account.

2) Advancing of Loans : The bank advances money in any one of the

following ways.

a. Overdraft Facilities : Customers of good trading are allowed to overdraw

from their current account. But they have to pay interest on extra amount
they have withdrawn. Overdrafts are allowed to provide temporary
accommodation since the extra amount withdrawn is payable within a
short period.
 b. Money at Call : It is the money lent for a very short period varying from
1 to 14 days. Such advances are usually made to other banks and
financial institutions only.

c. Loans : Loans are granted by the banks on securities which can be easily
disposed off in the market. When the bank has satisfied itself regarding
the soundness of the party, a loan is advanced.

d. Cash Credit : The Debtor is allowed to withdraw a certain amount on a

given security. The debtor withdraws the amount within this limit,
interest is charged by the bank on the amount actually withdrawn.

e. Discounting Bill of Exchange : It is another method of making advances

by the banks. Under this method, bank give advance to their clients on
the basis of their bills of exchange before the maturity of such bills.

f. Investment in Government Securities : Purchasing of government

securities by the banks tantamount to advancing loans by them to the
Government. Banks prefer to buy government securities as these are
considered to be the safest investment. For example : Indira Vikas Patra

3) Credit Creation : One of the main functions of banks these days is to create
credit. Banks create credit by giving more loans than their cash reserves.
Banks are able to create credit because the demand deposits i.e. a claim
against the bank is accepted by the public in settlement of their debts. In this
process the bank creates money.
 4) Cheque system of Payment of Funds :A cheque, a negotiable instrument,
which in fact is a bill of exchange, drawn upon a banker, is the most popular
credit instrument used by the client to make payments. Cheque system is the
main credit instrument in the banking world.

Because of “clearing houses” and “clearing” operations of the banks, cheques can
be and are used for transferring funds from one centre to another. In the modern
days they can also be used for transferring funds from one country to another.

1.8.2 Secondary Functions

Besides the above primary functions, banks also perform may secondary functions
such as agency functions, general utility and social functions.

A) Agency Functions

Banks act as agents to their customers in different ways :-

i) Collection and Payment of Credit and Other Instruments: The Commercial banks
collect and pay cheques, bills of exchange, promissory notes, hundies, rent, interest
etc. On behalf of their customers and also make payments of income tax, fees,
insurance premium etc. on behalf of the customers.

ii) Purchase and Sale of Securities : The modern commercial banks also undertake
the purchase and sale of various securities like shares, stocks, bonds units and
debentures etc. On behalf of the customers, banks do not give any advice regarding
the suitability or otherwise of a security but simply perform the functions of a
broker.

iii) Trustee and Executor : Banks also acts as trustees and executors of the property
of their customers on their advice. Sometimes banks also undertake income tax
services on behalf of the customers.

iv) Remittance of Funds : The Commercial banks remit funds on behalf of clients
from one place to another through cheques, drafts, mail transfers etc.

v) Representation and Correspondence : Sometimes commercial banks acts as

representatives or correspondents of the clients especially in handling various
applications. For instance, passports and travel tickets, etc.

vi) Billion Trading : In many countries, the commercial banks trade is billions like
gold and silver. In Oct 1997, 8 banks including SBI, IOB, Canara Bank and
Allahabad Bank have been allowed import of gold which has been put under open
general licensed category.

vii) Purchase and Sale of Foreign Exchange : Banks buy and sell foreign exchange,
promoting international trade. This function is mainly discharged by foreign
Exchange Banks.

viii) Letter of References : Banks also give information about economic position of
their customers to domestic and foreign traders and vice versa.

B) General Utility Services

In addition to agency services, banks render many more utility services to the
public. These services are :-
i) Locker Facilities : Banks provide locker facilities to their customers.
People can keep their valuables or important documents in these lockers.
Their annual rent is very nominal.

ii) Acting as a referee : It desired by the customers, the bank can be a referee
i.e. who could be referred by the third parties for seeking information
regarding the financial position of the customers.

iii) Issuing letters of credit : Bankers in a way by issuing letters of credit

certify the credit worthiness of the customers. Letters of credit are very
popular in foreign trade.

iv) Acting as Underwriters : Banks also underwrite the securities issued by

the Government and Corporate bodies for a commission. The name of
bank as an underwriter encouraged investors to have faith in the security.

v) Acting as information banks : Commercial banks also acts as

“information” bureau as they collect the financial, economic and statistical
data relating to industry, trade and commerce. HDFC Bank is providing
information relating to NRI Schemes and commentaries of experts on
development in the areas of finance through Internet.

vi) Issuing Traveler’s cheques and credit cards : Banks have been rendering
great service by issuing traveler’s cheques, which enable a person to travel
without fear of theft or loss of money. Now, some banks have started
credit card system under which a credit card holder is allowed to avail
credit from the listed outlets without any additional cost or effort. Thus,
credit card holder need not carry or handle cash all the time.
 vii) Issuing of gift cheques: Certain banks issue gift cheques of various
denominations, e.g. Some Indian banks issue gift cheques of the
denominations of Rs. 21, 31, 51 and 101 etc. They are generally issued
free of charge.

transact business of foreign exchange. Commercial banks are the main
authorized dealers of foreign exchange in India.

banking services to the customers. They help in availing loans from non-

3 Research Methodology

Research is an art of scientific investigation. In other word research is a scientific

and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. The logic
behind taking research methodology into consideration is that one can have
knowledge about the method and procedure adopted for achievement of objectives
of the project. With the adoption of this others can evaluate the results also. Its
main aim is to keep the researchers on the right track.

The methodology adopted for studying the objectives was surveying the saving
account holders of District Jaipur. So keeping in view the nature of requirements of
the study to collect all the relevant information, direct personal inerview method
with structured questionnaire was adopted for the collection of primary data.

Secondary data has been collected through the various magazines and newspapers
and by surfing on Internet. And the guide in the organization was consulted at
many times.

3.1 Sample Design

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population.
It refers to the techniques or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting
items for the sample. Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to
be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample. Sample design is determined
before data are collected. Here we select the population as sample in our sample
design. The selected respondents should be as representatives of the total
population.

people informed with the profitability and growth of the bank. These annual
reports helps us a lot to get the latest data and other related information for our
research. It tells us about the increase or decrease in profits and other facilities.
JOURNALS AND PUBLICATIONS OF DIFFERENT BANKS :- I also take
into consideration the journals and publications issued by the bank at different
times. I comes to know about the Branches, ATM, locations and other useful
information.

MANUALS AND BROACHERS OF DIFFERENT BANKS:-I take the help of

bank staff and other people who gives me deep information and data which may
not be available at anywhere. They gives their full co-operation.

 The research was carried out in a short period . Therefore the sample
size and other parameters were selected accordingly so as to finish the
work within the given time frame.

 The information given by the respondents might be biased because some of

them might not be interested to give correct information.

 The officials of the bank supported me a lot, but did not have sufficient time

to make the points more clear.

7 Suggestions and Recommendations
7.1 Suggestions by Customers

Based on the study conducted, there are some of the suggestions given by the

customers of how the modern banking should be. These are the comment given by

them about the improvement of the banking sector in India.

 Banks should obey the RBI norms and provide facilities as per the norms,
which are not being followed by the banks. While the customer must be
given prompt services and the bank officer should not have any fear on mind
to provide the facilities as per RBI norms to the units going sick.

 Banks should increase the rate of saving account

 Banks should provide loan at the lower interest rate and education loans
should be given with ease without much documentation. All the banks must
provide loans against shares.

 Fair dealing with the customers. More contribution from the employee of the
bank. The staff Should be co-operative, friendly and must be capable of
understanding the problems of customers

 Internet banking facility must be made available in all the banks.

 Prompt dealing with permanent customers and speedy transaction without

harassing the customers

 Each section of every bank should be computerized even in rural areas also.
 Real time gross settlement can play a very important role.

 More ATM coverage should be provided for the convenience of the

customers.

 No limit on cash withdrawls on ATM cards.

 The bank should bring out new schemes at time-to-time so that more people
can be attracted. Even some gifts and prizes may be offered to the customers
for their retention.

 24 hours banking should be induced so as to facilitate the customers who

may not have a free time in the daytime. It will help in facing the
competition more effectively.

 The charges for saving account opening are high, so they should also be
reduced.

 Customers generally complain that full knowledge is not granted to them.

Thus the bank should properly disclose the features of the product and
services to the customers. Moreover door to door services can also be
introduced by bank.

 The need of the customer should properly be understood so that customer

feels satisfied. The relationship value should be maintained.

 The branch should promote cooperation and coordination among employees

which help them in efficient working.

 Maintenance of proper hierarchy should be done. A good hierarchy set up

can ensure better results with in the bank.
 Banking sector is improving by leaps but still it needs to be improved. Proper
and efficient relationship staffs having knowledge for one stop banking,
customer friendly atmosphere, and better rate of interest are need of the
hour.the concept of privatization has overall improved the services in all the
banks. Home banking will be order of the day.

7.2 Recommendations

7.2.1 For Public Sector Banks

 Bank staff should be customer friendly and highly motivated to serve the
normal customer.

 As far as possible, banks should reduce its documentation process while

providing loans.

 Computerization should be done in banks at all level and the operators

should de properly trained.

 Token system should be induced so as to minimize the waiting lines in the

banks.

 Proper ambience in the banks can develop a healthy working culture.

 Quick services should be provided.

7.2.2 For Private Sector Banks

 24 hours banking should be induced so as to facilitate the customers who may

not have free time in the day time. It will help in facing the competition more
effectively.

 More ATM coverage should be provided for the convenience of the

customers.

 Customer care services should be provided by banks.

8 Conclusion

The customers now days are not only exposed of what type of service is being
provided by banks in India but in the world as a whole. They expect much more
than what is actually being provided. So the new coming banking sector has to
provide and cater to all the needs of the customers otherwise it is difficult to
survive in the competition coming up.

They not only expect the safety of money but also best ways to invest that money
which need needs to be fulfilled. Banks need to have a better outlook towards to
actually what customers are requiring. Entries of the private sector banks have
made the competition tougher. If a bank is not functioning properly it is being
closed. So it is difficult to face these types of conditions. Here a simple philosophy
can work that customers are God and we need to follow this to survive and serve
better.

The banking sector is poised for explosive growth. In this, scenario, it is imperative
that banks adopt technology at an aggressive Pace, if they wish to remain
competitive. Mani Mamallan makes a case for banks to outsource their technology
infrastructure requirement, thus enabling early adoption and increased efficiencies.

In the prevailing scenario, a number of banks have adopt a new deployment

strategy of infrastructure outsourcing, to lower the cost of service channels. As a
result, other banks too will need to align their reinvented business models. The
required changes at both the business and technology levels are enormous. In a
highly competitive banking markets, early adopters are profiting from increased
efficiencies.
