WHAT IS BANKING?
provides financial services usually for profit.

Bank

is

business

that

Traditional banking Services include receiving deposits of money, lending money and processing transactions. A commercial bank accepts deposits from customers and in turn makes loans based on those deposits. Some banks (called Banks of issue) issue banknotes as legal tender. Many banks offer ancillary financial services to make additional profit; for example: selling insurance products. Banking is the business of providing financial services to consumers and businesses. The basic services a bank provides are checking accounts, which can be used like money to make payments and purchase goods and services; savings accounts and time deposits that can be used to save money for future use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to purchase goods and services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing and foreign currency exchange. Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic banking services: commercial banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks, and credit unions. A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives, collects, transfers, pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for its customers. This broader definition includes many other financial institutions that are not usually thought of as banks but which nevertheless provide one or more of these broadly defined banking services. These institutions include finance companies, investment companies, investment banks, insurance companies, pension funds, security brokers and dealers, mortgage companies and real estate investment trusts. This article, however, focuses on the narrower definition of a bank and the services provided by banks in Canada and the United States. (For information on other financial institutions, see Insurance; Investment Banking; and Trust Companies.) Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 8

Banking services are extremely important in a free market economy such as that found in Canada and the United States. Banking services serve two primary purposes. First, by supplying customers with the basic mediums-of-exchange (cash, checking accounts, and credit cards), banks play a key role in the way goods and services are purchased. Second, by accepting money deposits from savers and then lending the money to borrowers, banks encourage the flow of money to productive use and investments. This in turn allows the economy to grow. Without this flow, savings would sit idle in someones safe or pocket, money would not be available to borrow, people would not be able to purchase cars or houses, and businesses would not be able to build the new factories the economy needs to produce more goods and grow. Enabling the flow of money from savers to investors is called financial intermediation, and it is extremely important to a free market economy.

1.2 STRUCTURE OF INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRY

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 10

Organized banking was active in India since the establishment of the General Bank of India in 1786. After independence, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was established as the central bank and in 1955, the Imperial Bank of India, the biggest bank at the time, was taken over by the government to form state-owned State Bank of India (SBI). RBI had undertaken an exercise to merge weak banks to strong banks and the total number of banks thus reduced from 566 in 1951 to 85 in 1969. With the objective of reaching out to masses and meeting the credit needs of all sections of people, the government nationalized 14 large banks in 1969 followed by another 6 banks in 1980. This period saw enormous growth in the number of branches and the banks branch network became wide enough to reach the weakest sections of the society in a vast country like India. Sibs network of 9033 domestic branches and 48 overseas offices is considered to be one of the largest for any bank in the world. The economic reforms unleashed by the government in early nineties included banking sector too, to a significant extent. Entry of new private sector banks was permitted under specific guidelines issued by RBI. A number of liberalization and deregulation measures aimed at consolidation, efficiency, productivity, asset quality, capital adequacy and profitability have been introduced by the RBI to bring Indian banks in line with International best practices. With a view to giving the state-owned banks operational flexibility and functional autonomy, partial privatization has been authorized as a first step, enabling them to dilute the stake of the government to 51 per cent. The government further proposed, in the Union Budget for the financial Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 11

year 2000-01, to reduce its holding in nationalized banks to a minimum of 33 per cent on a case by case basis. The banking system can be broadly classified as organized and unorganized banking system. The unorganized banking system comprises of moneylenders, indigenous bankers, lending pawnbrokers, landlords, traders, etc. Whereas the organized banking system comprises of Scheduled Banks and Non-Scheduled Banks that are permitted by RBI to undertake banking business.

The Indian Banking Industry can be broadly classified into: A. Public Sector Banks B. Old and New Private Sector Banks C. Foreign Banks D. Co-operative Banks

A. Public Sector Banks

Public sector banks are banks where in the government has a holding of 100%.This been a situation prior to liberalization. The stake has fallen because of a public issue in the post liberalization period. Some of the other leading banks in this segment have also proposed to come out with an equity issue to raise further capital. The government is proposing to bring out a bill wherein its share in all these banks would stand reduced to 33% from the current levels The public sector banks largely dominate the Indian Banking industry. These banks till the early 90s were involved in the traditional banking business of deposits and credit lending. The public sector banks have a strong distribution network all over the country. But the strength of the earlier periods has now become a concern for these banks. As compared to the tech-equipped distribution network of the new private sector banks and the foreign banks, these banks have found it difficult to upgrade them on the technology front. These banks are also facing the problem of Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 12

surplus manpower. Most of these banks are now coming out with a VRS to bring down their number of employees and improve the efficiency ratios. The public sector banks still control a major share in the banking operations of the country. Their inefficiencies have been exposed only when the market was thrown open for competition and new players started eating up their share. But given their size and the strong network, most of these banks can change their perception. The recent thrust on reduction of government stake; VRS, NPA settlement schemes etc have been some of the steps in this direction. Since the growth of the economy is largely dependent on the performance of these banks, even with the growth of new private and foreign players, these banks will have an important role to play.Some of the players here are State Bank of India and its associates, Bank of Baroda, Corporation Bank, Punjab National Bank, Union Bank of India, etc.

B. Old and New Private Sector Banks

Private Sector Banks-Old
These banks existed prior to the promulgation of Banking Nationalization Act but were not nationalized due to their smaller size and regional focus. Most of these banks continue to have a regional focus and are relatively smaller in size. A large number of these banks are basically from the south. Being small in size, these banks focus on service and technology and thus face competition from new private and foreign banks. Most of these banks are trying to increase their presence nationwide and are planning to enter other business areas like insurance. The old private sector banks have performed reasonably well during the FY2000. As these banks were facing stiff competition from the new private banks and the foreign players who were making inroads in their markets,

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 13

these banks have been able to increase their net profits by over 50%. As a result of the increasing competition in the sector, these banks have been trying to improve upon their margins and asset quality. Most of these banks have a high CAR and as such they do not face any capital constraint in their growth plans. Even their return on net worth has been at par in most of the cases with the other new players in the market. But the coming years would be more challenging for these banks as the public sector are also trying to adapt to the new environment and the new banks have already equipped themselves to have a major share in any opportunity that would accrue. Some of the private sector-old players are Bank of Madura Ltd., Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd., The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd., The Vysya Bank Ltd., etc.

Private Sector Banks- New

The Banking Regulation Act was amended in 1993 permitting the entry of new private sector banks. The act also specified certain criteria for establishing new private sector banks. The criteria are as follows: 1. The banks should have a minimum net worth of Rs1bn. 2. The promoters holding should be minimum 25% of the paid up capital. 3. The banks should offer shares to the public within three years of their operations. The first new private sector bank started operations in 1995. The minimum net worth requirement of Rs1bn and difficulty in getting the banking license has kept the option open for very few players.

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 14

The financial institutions have promoted many of these banks. With emphasis on service and technology, it is for the first time that Indian banks are challenging the foreign banks. These banks are making heavy use of technology to give good service on par with foreign banks but to a much wider audience e.g. branch size has been reduced considerably by using technology and having less manpower. This saves the cost of the branch. In addition the ATM etc helps drawing large customers to one branch. The new private banks have been consistently gaining market share from the public sector banks. The major beneficiary of this has been corporate clients who are most sought after now. The new private sector banks have performed very well in the FY2000.Most of this banks have registered an increase in net profits of over 50%.They have been able to make significant inroads in the retail market of the public sector and the old private sector banks. During the year, the two leading banks in this sector had set a new trend in the Indian banking sector. HDFC Bank, as a part of its expansion plans had taken over Times Bank. ICICI Bank became the first bank in the country to list its shares on NYSE. Some of the private sector-new players include, Centurion Bank Ltd., Global Trust Bank Ltd., HDFC Bank., ICICI Banking Corporation Ltd., IDBI Bank Ltd., etc.

C. Foreign Banks
Foreign banks have been doing the normal banking business in the country. During the period of nationalization, the entry of new foreign banks and expansion by existing foreign banks were prohibited. Even, when the norms were relaxed later on, RBI was very slow in granting any further approvals to these banks. But most of these banks have concentrated on the metropolitan cities of the country and Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 15

have been able to do reasonably well. These banks have used the latest technology to compensate for the limited number of branches they have. In the post liberalization period, there has been a sharp increase in the total business done by the foreign banks. A number of new players have entered and the existing players have consolidated their position in the market. In the last couple of years, some of the foreign banks have entered the retail segment and introduced a number of new products in the market. This has intensified the competition in the banking sector and has made most of the old players rethink their strategy. Some of the foreign banks operating in India are ABN-AMRO Bank N.V., ANZ Grind lays Bank Ltd, Citibank N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, Standard Chartered Bank, etc.

D. Co-Operative Banks
Co-operative banks are a part of the vast and powerful superstructure of cooperative institutions, which are engaged in the tasks of production, processing, marketing, and distribution, servicing, and banking in India. The co-operative banks were conceived in order to substitute unorganized money market agencies like moneylenders, to provide adequate short-term and long-term institutional credit at reasonable rates of interest, and to bring about integration of the unorganized and organized segments of the money market.

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 16

The main aim of the co-operative banks is to provide cheaper credit to their members, and not to maximize their profits. There has been an impressive growth in deposits, credit and working capital of these banks. The annual rates of growth of co-operative banks have been quite high, and are comparable with those of commercial banks. The government and the RBI have taken a number of steps to improve the health and strength of co-operative banks in India. In keeping with other financial sectors reforms, certain co-operative banking reforms also have been carried out after 1991.

1.3 CURRENT SCENARIO

A. PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
SBI Group: State Bank of India with its seven associates banks command the largest banking resource in India. SBI and its associates banks are:

A. FOREIGN BANKS

Currently (2009), overall, banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets-as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility-without any stated exchange rate-and this has mostly been true. With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some timeespecially in its services sector, the demand for banking services-especially retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. M&As, takeovers, asset sales and much more action (as it is unraveling in China) will happen on this front in India.

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 19

In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them. Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private sector banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs.

2.3 ABOUT HDFC BANK

The Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC) was amongst the first to receive an 'in-principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector, as part of RBI's liberalization of the Indian Banking industry in 1994. The Bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC Bank Limited' with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995 HDFC Bank, the pioneer of the retail-banking movement in India, is one of the fastest growing and most profitable banks in India with a strong urban presence. The bank, with a market share of 2.5% has a wide reach across the country with a branch network of 425 branches and 950 ATMs. Strong understanding of the retail sphere (46% of total advances in 9mFY05) and technology initiatives has made the bank the second largest private sector bank in the country. The bank has largely outpaced the sector growth over the last few years, but of late the growth momentum has been subdued due to competitive reasons. HDFC Bank is headquartered in Mumbai. The Bank at present has an enviable network of over 250 branches spread over 135 cities across the country. All Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 25

branches are linked to each other through an online real- time basis. Customers in 80 locations are also serviced through Phone Banking. The Bank's expansion plans take into account the need to have a presence in all major industrial and commercial centers where its corporate customers are located as well as the need to build a strong retail customer base for both deposits and loan products. Being a clearing/settlement bank to various leading stock exchanges, the Bank has branches in the centers where the NSE/BSE has a strong and active member base. The Bank also has a chain of over 800 networked ATMs across these cities. Moreover, HDFC Bank's ATM network can be accessed by all domestic and international Visa/MasterCard, Visa Electron/Maestro, Plus/Cirrus and American Express credit/charge cardholders. HDFC Bank operates in a highly automated environment in terms of information technology and communication systems. The entire bank's branches have connectivity which enables the bank to offer speedy funds transfer facilities to its customers. Multi-branch access is also provided to retail customers through the branch network and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). The Bank has made substantial efforts and investments in acquiring the best technology available internationally to build the infrastructure required for a worldclass bank. In terms of software, the Corporate Banking business is supported by Flex cube, while the Retail Banking business by Fin ware, both from i-flex Solutions Ltd. The systems are open, scalable and web-enabled. The Bank has prioritized its engagement in technology and the internet as one of its key goals and has already made significant progress in web- enabling its core businesses. In each of its businesses, the Bank has succeeded in leveraging its market position, expertise and technology to create a competitive advantage and build market share. The Bank has received recognition both nationally and internationally for 'The Best Bank' on various parameters in publications like Euro money and Finance Asia. Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA Page 26

The Bank's IT department has total staff strength of 120 (approx.), with a mix of functional and technical specialists. The project managers for new IT initiatives are designated both from this group and from businesses. Almost all the project development and application maintenance activities are outsourced to IT vendors.

2.4 HISTORY OF THE BANK

HDFC was incorporated in 1977 with the primary objective of meeting a social need that of promoting home ownership by providing long-term finance to households for their housing needs. HDFC was promoted with an initial share capital of Rs. 100 million. Against the milieu of rapid urbanization and a changing socio-economic scenario, the demand for housing has grown explosively. The importance of the housing sector in the economy can be illustrated by a few key statistics. According to the National Building Organization (NBO), the total demand for housing is estimated at 2 million units per year and the total housing shortfall is estimated to be 19.4 million units, of which 12.76 million units is from rural areas and 6.64 million units from urban areas. The housing industry is the second largest employment generator in the country. It is estimated that the budgeted 2 million units would lead to the creation of an additional 10 million man-years of direct employment and another 15 million man-years of indirect employment.

Interpretation
This question is asked to know the customers response about what should they do for increasing their eligibility for personal loans. 38% of the customers gives preference to the option that firstly, they should clear their outstanding debts which may be of home loans, Car loans, etc. If their EMIs are cleared then that increases your eligibility for personal loans. 30% of the customers give preference to the option of stretching their loan tenure. The basic rule of EMI is larger the tenure lower will be the EMI and similarly shorter the tenure higher will be the EMI and if borrower will take the

Shree Samanvay Institute Of MBA

Page 74

larger tenure then automatically their EMI will decline and their paying capacity increases. The reason being their principal amount is spread among the number of years and it lowers the amount of EMI but amount of interest paid is higher in larger tenure, as one of the major components while calculating interest rates is tenure.ijmjimijmimijmjnhubnbgbbybybunyyyy
