INTRODUCTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The banking sector in India has made remarkable progress since the economic

reforms in 1991. New private sector banks have brought the necessary

competition into the industry and spearheaded the changes towards higher 

utilization of technology, improved customer service and innovative products.

Customers are now becoming increasingly conscious of their rights and aredemanding more than ever before. The recent trends show that most banks are

shifting from a “product-centric model” to a “customer-centric model” as customer 

satisfaction has become one of the major determinants of business growth. In

this context, prioritization of preferences and close monitoring of customer 

satisfaction have become essential for banks. Keeping these in mind, an attempt

has been made in this study to compare the services provided by various banks.

To be precious and for easy comparison the basis of comparison is services

provided by public bank vs. services provided by private bank. In this report the

public bank is State Bank of India and the private bank is ICICI Bank. This project

help in anaylsising the reasons and conclusion that customer prefer which bank

among the two i.e. private bank or public bank.

BANKS

 A bank is a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those

deposits into lending activities, either directly or through capital markets. A bank

connects customers with capital deficits to customers with capital surpluses.

Banking is generally a highly regulated industry, and government restrictions on

financial activities by banks have varied over time and location. The current set of 

global bank capital standards is called Basel II.

The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in

Siena, Italy, which has been operating continuously since 1472.

History

The word bank was borrowed in Middle English from Middle French banque,

from Old Italian banca, from Old High German banc, bank "bench, counter".

Benches were used as desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by

Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by

green tablecloths.

Banking in the modern sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early

Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north like Florence, Venice and Genoa.

The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence,

establishing branches in many other parts of Europe. Perhaps the most famous

Italian bank was the Medici bank, set up by Giovanni Medici in 1397. The earliest

known state deposit bank, Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was

founded in 1407 at Genoa, Italy.

Banks can be traced back to ancient times even before money when temples were used to store commodities. During the 3rd century AD, banks in Persia and

other territories in the Persian Sassanid Empire issued letters of credit known as

Ṣakks Muslim traders are known to have used the cheque or ṣakk system since

the time of Harun al-Rashid (9th century) of the   Abbasid Caliphate. In the 9th

century, a Muslim businessman could cash an early form of the cheque in China 

5

drawn on sources in Baghdad, a tradition that was significantly strengthened in

the 13th and 14th centuries, during the Mongol Empire. Fragments found in the

Cairo Geniza indicate that in the 12th century cheque remarkably similar to our 

own were in use, only smaller to save costs on the paper. They contain a sum to

be paid and then the order "May so and so pay the bearer such and such an

amount". The date and name of the issuer are also apparent.

Banking

Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for 

customers, paying cheque drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting

cheque deposited to customers' current accounts. Banks also enable customer 

payments via other payment methods such as telegraphic transfer , EFTPOS,

and ATM.

Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by

accepting term deposits, and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and

bonds. Banks lend money by making advances to customers on current

accounts, by making installment loans, and by investing in marketable debt

securities and other forms of money lending.

Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is considered

indispensable by most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that

provide payment services such as remittance companies are not normally

considered an adequate substitute for having a bank account.

Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, and

lend most funds to households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank

lenders provide a significant and in many cases adequate substitute for bankloans, and money market funds, cash management trusts and other non-bank

financial institutions in many cases provide an adequate substitute to banks for 

lending savings to.

Channels

Banks offer many different channels to access their banking and other services:

•  ATM is a machine that dispenses cash and sometimes takes deposits

without the need for a human bank teller . Some ATMs provide additional

services.

•  A branch is a retail location

• Call center 

• Mail: most banks accept check deposits via mail and use mail to

communicate to their customers, e.g. by sending out statements

• Mobile banking is a method of using one's mobile phone to conductbanking transactions

• Online banking is a term used for performing transactions, payments etc.

over the Internet

• Relationship Managers, mostly for private banking or business banking,

often visiting customers at their homes or businesses

• Telephone banking is a service which allows its customers to perform

transactions over the telephone without speaking to a human

• Video banking is a term used for performing banking transactions or 

professional banking consultations via a remote video and audio

connection. Video banking can be performed via purpose built banking

transaction machines (similar to an Automated teller machine), or via a

videoconference enabled bank branch.

Types of Banks

Banks' activities can be divided into retail banking, dealing directly with

individuals and small businesses; business banking, providing services to mid-

market business; corporate banking, directed at large business entities; private 

banking, providing wealth management services to high net worth individuals and

families; and investment banking, relating to activities on the financial markets.

Most banks are profit-making, private enterprises. However, some are owned by

government, or are non-profit organizations.

Types of Retail Banks

• Commercial bank: the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from

an investment bank. After the Great Depression, the U.S. Congress

required that banks only engage in banking activities, whereas investment

banks were limited to capital market activities. Since the two no longer 

have to be under separate ownership, some use the term "commercial

bank" to refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals with

deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses.

• Community banks: locally operated financial institutions that empower 

employees to make local decisions to serve their customers and the

partners.

• Community development banks: regulated banks that provide financial

services and credit to under-served markets or populations.

• Postal savings banks: savings banks associated with national postal

systems.

• Private Banks: banks that manage the assets of high net worth individuals.

Historically a minimum of USD 1 million was required to open an account;

however, over the last years many private banks have lowered their entry

hurdles to USD 250,000 for private investors.

• Offshore banks: banks located in jurisdictions with low taxation and

regulation. Many offshore banks are essentially private banks.• Savings bank: in Europe, savings banks take their roots in the 19th or 

sometimes even 18th century. Their original objective was to provide

easily accessible savings products to all strata of the population. In some

countries, savings banks were created on public initiative; in others,

socially committed individuals created foundations to put in place the

necessary infrastructure. Nowadays, European savings banks have kept

their focus on retail banking: payments, savings products, credits and

insurances for individuals or small and medium-sized enterprises. Apart

from this retail focus, they also differ from commercial banks by their 

broadly decentralized distribution network, providing local and regional

outreach—and by their socially responsible approach to business and

society.

• Building societies and Landesbanks: institutions that conduct retail

banking.

• Ethical banks: banks that prioritize the transparency of all operations and

make only what they consider to be socially-responsible investments.

•  A Direct or Internet-Only bank is a banking operation without any physical

bank branches, conceived and implemented wholly with networked

computers.

Unlike most other regulated industries, the regulator is typically also a participant

in the market, i.e. a government-owned (central) bank. Central banks also

typically have a monopoly on the business of issuing banknotes. However, in

some countries this is not the case. In the UK, for example, the Financial 

Services Authority licenses banks, and some commercial banks (such as the

Bank of Scotland) issue their own banknotes in addition to those issued by the

Bank of England, the UK government's central bank.

Banking law is based on a contractual analysis of the relationship between the

bank (defined above) and the customer —defined as any entity for which the bank

agrees to conduct an account.

The law implies rights and obligations into this relationship as follows:

1. The bank account balance is the financial position between the bank and

the customer: when the account is in credit, the bank owes the balance to

the customer; when the account is overdrawn, the customer owes the

balance to the bank.

2. The bank agrees to pay the customer's cheque up to the amount standing

to the credit of the customer's account, plus any agreed overdraft limit.

3. The bank may not pay from the customer's account without a mandate

from the customer, e.g. a cheque drawn by the customer.

4. The bank agrees to promptly collect the cheque deposited to the

customer's account as the customer's agent, and to credit the proceeds to

the customer's account.

5. The bank has a right to combine the customer's accounts, since each

account is just an aspect of the same credit relationship.

6. The bank has a lien on cheque deposited to the customer's account, to the

extent that the customer is indebted to the bank.

7. The bank must not disclose details of transactions through the customer's

account—unless the customer consents, there is a public duty to disclose,

the bank's interests require it, or the law demands it.

11

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 12/59

8. The bank must not close a customer's account without reasonable notice,

since cheque is outstanding in the ordinary course of business for several

days.

These implied contractual terms may be modified by express agreement

between the customer and the bank. The statutes and regulations in force withina particular jurisdiction may also modify the above terms and/or create new

rights, obligations or limitations relevant to the bank-customer relationship.

Some types of financial institution, such as building societies and credit unions,

may be partly or wholly exempt from bank license requirements, and therefore

regulated under separate rules.

The requirements for the issue of a bank license vary between jurisdictions buttypically include:

1. Minimum capital

2. Minimum capital ratio

3. 'Fit and Proper' requirements for the bank's controllers, owners, directors,

and/or senior officers

 Approval of the bank's business plan as being sufficiently prudent and plausible.

Size of global banking industry

 Assets of the largest 1,000 banks in the world grew by 6.8% in the 2008/2009

financial year to a record $96.4 trillion while profits declined by 85% to $115bn.

Growth in assets in adverse market conditions was largely a result of 

recapitalisation. EU banks held the largest share of the total, 56% in 2008/2009,

down from 61% in the previous year. Asian banks' share increased from 12% to

14% during the year, while the share of US banks increased from 11% to 13%.

Fee revenue generated by global investment banking totaled $66.3bn in 2009, up

12% on the previous year.

The United States has the most banks in the world in terms of institutions (7,085

at the end of 2008) and possibly branches (82,000).This is an indicator of the

geography and regulatory structure of the USA, resulting in a large number of 

small to medium-sized institutions in its banking system. As of Nov 2009, China's

top 4 banks have in excess of 67,000 branches (ICBC: 18000+, BOC: 12000+,

CCB: 13000+,  ABC: 24000+) with an additional 140 smaller banks with an

undetermined number of branches. Japan had 129 banks and 12,000 branches.

In 2004, Germany, France, and Italy each had more than 30,000 branches—

more than double the 15,000 branches in the UK.

Banks in the economy

Economic functions

The economic functions of banks include:

1. Issue of money, in the form of banknotes and current accounts subject to

cheque or payment at the customer's order. These claims on banks canact as money because they are negotiable and/or repayable on demand,

and hence valued at par. They are effectively transferable by mere

delivery, in the case of banknotes, or by drawing a cheque that the payee

may bank or cash.

2. Netting and settlement of payments – banks act as both collection and

paying agents for customers, participating in interbank clearing and

settlement systems to collect, present, be presented with, and pay

payment instruments. This enables banks to economies on reserves held

for settlement of payments, since inward and outward payments offset

each other. It also enables the offsetting of payment flows between

geographical areas, reducing the cost of settlement between them.

13

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 14/59

3. Credit intermediation – banks borrow and lend back-to-back on their own

account as middle men.

4. Credit quality improvement – banks lend money to ordinary commercial

and personal borrowers (ordinary credit quality), but are high quality

borrowers. The improvement comes from diversification of the bank's

assets and capital which provides a buffer to absorb losses without

defaulting on its obligations. However, banknotes and deposits are

generally unsecured; if the bank gets into difficulty and pledges assets as

security, to rise the funding it needs to continue to operate, this puts the

note holders and depositors in an economically subordinated position.

5. Maturity transformation – banks borrow more on demand debt and short

term debt, but provide more long term loans. In other words, they borrow

short and lend long. With a stronger credit quality than most other borrowers, banks can do this by aggregating issues (e.g. accepting

deposits and issuing banknotes) and redemptions (e.g. withdrawals and

redemptions of banknotes), maintaining reserves of cash, investing in

marketable securities that can be readily converted to cash if needed, and

raising replacement funding as needed from various sources (e.g.

wholesale cash markets and securities markets).

Bank crisis

Banks are susceptible to many forms of risk which have triggered occasional

systemic crises. These include liquidity risk (where many depositors may request

withdrawals in excess of available funds), credit risk (the chance that those who

owe money to the bank will not repay it), and interest rate risk (the possibility that

the bank will become unprofitable, if rising interest rates force it to pay relatively

more on its deposits than it receives on its loans).

Banking crises have developed many times throughout history, when one or 

more risks have materialized for a banking sector as a whole. Prominent

examples include the bank run that occurred during the Great Depression, the

14

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 15/59

U.S. Savings and Loan crisis in the 1980s and early 1990s, the Japanese 

banking crisis during the 1990s, and the sub prime mortgage crisis in the 2000s.

Risk and capital

Banks face a number of  risks in order to conduct their business, and how well

these risks are managed and understood is a key driver behind profitability, and

how much capital a bank is required to hold. Some of the main risks faced by

banks include:

• Credit risk: risk of loss arising from a borrower who does not make

payments as promised.

• Liquidity risk: risk that a given security or asset cannot be traded quickly

enough in the market to prevent a loss (or make the required profit).• Market risk: risk that the value of a portfolio, either an investment portfolio

or a trading portfolio, will decrease due to the change in value of the

market risk factors.

• Operational risk: risk arising from execution of a company's business

functions.

The capital requirement is a bank regulation, which sets a framework on how

banks and depository institutions must handle their capital. The categorization of 

assets and capital is highly standardized so that it can be risk weighted (see risk-

weighted asset).

Banking in India

 

Structure of the organized banking sector in India. Number of banks is in

brackets.

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The firstbanks 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 1921 to form the

Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State

Bank of India.

16

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 17/59

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.(Joint Stock Bank: A company that issues stock and requires shareholders

to be held liable for the company's debt) It was not the first though. That honor 

belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which

survived until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being

transferred to the Alliance Bank of Shimla.

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.

Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The

Comptoire d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and

another in Bombay in 1862; branches in Madras and Puducherry, then a French

colony, followed. HSBC established itself in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was themost active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire,

and so became a banking center.

The Bank of Bengal, which later merged with the Bank of Bombay and the Bank 

of Madras to form the Imperial Bank of India in 1921.

The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank,

established in 1881 in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in Lahore in 1895, which has survived to the present

and is now one of the largest banks in India.

 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 

17

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 18/59

Mutiny, and the social, industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians

had established small banks, most of which served particular ethnic and religious

communities.

The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some

exchange banks and a number of Indian   joint stock banks. All these banksoperated in different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly

owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint stock

banks were generally under capitalized and lacked the experience and maturity

to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord

Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We

are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into

separate and cumbersome compartments."

The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by

the Swadeshi movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen

and political figures to found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of 

banks established then have survived to the present such as Bank of India,

Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank 

of India.

The fervour of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing of many private banks in

Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district which were unified earlier and known by

the name South Canara ( South Kanara ) district. Four nationalized banks started

in this district and also a leading private sector bank. Hence undivided Dakshina

Kannada district is known as "Cradle of Indian Banking".

During the First World War  (1914-1918) through the end of the Second World 

War (1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India werechallenging for Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent,

and it took its toll with banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy 

gaining indirect boost due to war-related economic activities. At least 94 banks in

India failed between 1913 and 1918 as indicated in the following table:

Post-independence

The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and

West Bengal, paralyzing banking activities for months. India's independence 

marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The

Government of India initiated measures to play an active role in the economic life

of the nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the government in

1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted into greater involvement of the

state in different segments of the economy including banking and finance. The

major steps to regulate banking included:

In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was

nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve

Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an

existing bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks

could have common directors.

However, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except

the State Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons.

This changed with the nationalization of major banks in India on 19 July 1969.

Nationalization

19

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 20/59

The RBI was nationalized on January 1, 1949 in terms of the Reserve Bank of 

India (Transfer to Public Ownership) Act, 1948 (RBI, 2005b. By the 1960s, the

Indian banking industry had become an important tool to facilitate the

development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it had emerged as a large

employer, and a debate had ensued about the possibility to nationalize the

banking industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the

intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in

a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalization."  The paper was

received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden,

and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalized the 14 largest commercial

banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969. Jayaprakash Narayan, a

national leader of India, described the step as a " masterstroke of political

sagacity." Within two weeks of the issue of the ordinance, the Parliament passedthe Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it

received the presidential approval on 9 August 1969.

 A second dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980.

The stated reason for the nationalization was to give the government more

control of credit delivery. With the second dose of nationalization, the GOI

controlled around 91% of the banking business of India. Later on, in the year 

1993, the government merged New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank. It

was the only merger between nationalized banks and resulted in the reduction of 

the number of nationalized banks from 20 to 19. After this, until the 1990s, the

nationalized banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the average growth

rate of the Indian economy.

Liberalization

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 tech-savvy 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, Axis Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and

20

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 21/59

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 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 set up with the proposedrelaxation 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 74% 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-savvy

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.

Currently (2007), banking in India is generally 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. In terms of quality of assets

and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and

transparent balance sheets relative 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 but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has

mostly been true.

With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some

time-especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially

retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong.One may also expect M&as, takeovers, and asset sales.

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

21

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 22/59

since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the

private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.

In recent years critics have charged that the non-government owned banks are

too aggressive in their loan recovery efforts in connection with housing, vehicle

and personal loans. There are press reports that the banks' loan recovery effortshave driven defaulting borrowers to suicide.

History

In 1955, The Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Limited (ICICI)

was incorporated at the initiative of World Bank, the Government of India and

representatives of Indian industry, with the objective of creating a development

financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to

Indian businesses. In 1994, ICICI established Banking Corporation as a banking

subsidiary. Formerly known as Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, ICICI Banking Corporation was later renamed as 'ICICI Bank Limited'.

ICICI founded a separate legal entity, ICICI Bank, to undertake normal banking

operations - taking deposits, credit cards, car loans etc. In 2001, ICICI acquired

Bank of Madura (est. 1943). Bank of Madura was a Chettiar  bank, and had

acquired Chettinad Mercantile Bank (est. 1933) and Illanji Bank (established

1904) in the 1960s. In 2002, The Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank

approved the reverse merger of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited 

and ICICI Capital Services Limited, into ICICI Bank. After receiving all necessary

regulatory approvals, ICICI integrated the group's financing and banking

operations, both wholesale and retail, into a single entity. At the same time, ICICI

started its international expansion by opening representative offices in New York 

32

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 33/59

and London. In India, ICICI Bank bought the Shimla and Darjeeling branches that

Standard Chartered Bank had inherited when it acquired Grindlays Bank.

In 2003, ICICI opened subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK), and

in the UK it established an alliance with Lloyds TSB. It also opened an Offshore

Banking Unit (OBU) in Singapore and representative offices in Dubai andShanghai. In 2004, ICICI opened a representative office in Bangladesh to tap the

extensive trade between that country, India and South Africa. In 2005, ICICI

acquired Investitsionno-Kreditny Bank (IKB), a Russia bank with about US$4mn

in assets, head office in Balabanovo in the Kaluga region, and with a branch in

Moscow. ICICI renamed the bank ICICI Bank Eurasia. Also, ICICI established a

branch in Dubai International Financial Centre and in Hong Kong. In 2006, ICICI

Bank UK opened a branch in  Antwerp, in Belgium. ICICI opened representative

offices in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur . In 2007, ICICI amalgamated

Sangli Bank, which was headquartered in Sangli, in Maharashtra State, and

which had 158 branches in Maharashtra and another 31 in Karnataka State.

Sangli Bank had been founded in 1916 and was particularly strong in rural areas.

With respect to the international sphere, ICICI also received permission from the

government of Qatar to open a branch in Doha. Also, ICICI Bank Eurasia opened

a second branch, this time in St. Petersburg. In 2008, The US Federal Reserve 

permitted ICICI to convert its representative office in New York into a branch.

ICICI also established a branch in Frankfurt. In 2009, ICICI made huge changes

in its organization like elimination of loss making department and retrenching

outsourced staff or renegotiate their charges in consequent to the recession. In

addition to this, ICICI adopted a massive approach aims for cost control and cost

cutting. In consequent of it, compensation to staff was not increased and no

bonus declared for 2008-09.

facilities. It also provides D-Mart account facilities on-line, so a person can

access his account from anywhere he is .D-Mart is a dematerialized account

opened by a salaried person for purchase & sale of shares of different

companies.

37

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 38/59

2) Advanced Infrastructure: Branches of ICICI Bank are well equipped with

advanced technology to provide the customers with taster banking services. All

the computerized machines are located in suitable manner & are very useful to

the customers & staff of the bank.

3) Friendly Staff : The staff of ICICI Bank in all branches is very friendly & helpsthe customers in all cases. They provide faster   services along with bonding &

personal relationship with the customers. 

4) 12hrs.Banking services: Compared to other bank ICICI bank

provides long hrs. Of services i.e. 8-8 services to the customers. This

service is one of its kinds & is very helpful for the customers who are

in urgent need of money.

5) Other Facilities to the Customers & Employees: ICICI Bank also

provides other facilities like drinking water facilities, proper sitting

arrangements to the customers. And there are also proper Ventilation

& sanitary facilities for the employees of the bank.

6) Late night ATM services: ICICI bank provides late night ATM

services to the customers. The ATM centers of ICICI bank works

even after 11:00pm. At night in certain branches.

Weakness:

1) High Bank Service Charges: ICICI bank charges highly to

customers for the services provided by them when compared to

other bank & that is why it is only in the reach of higher class of 

society.

2) Less Credit Period: ICICI bank provides credit facilities but only

upto limited period. Even when the credit period is not over it

sends reminder letters to the customers which may annoy them.

OPPORTUNITIES:

38

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 39/59

1) Bank–Insurance services: The bank should also provide

insurance services. That means the bank can have a tie-up with an

insurance company. The bank will advertise & promote the different

policies introduced by the insurance company & convince their 

customers to buy insurance policies.

2) Increase in percentage of Returns on increase: The bank should

provide higher returns on deposits in comparison of the present

situation. These will also upto large extent help the bank earn profits &

popularity.

3) Recruit professionally guided students: Bank & Insurance is a

special non-aid course where the students specialize in the

functioning & services of the bank & also are knowledge about

various tax policies. The bank can recruit these students through tie-

ups with colleges. Such students will surely prove as an asset to the

bank.

4) Associate with social cause: The bank can also associate itself 

with social causes like providing relief aid patients, funding towards

natural calamities. But this falls in the 4th quadrant so the bank should

neglect it.

THREATS

1) Competition: ICICI Bank is facing tight competition locally as well

as internationally. Bank like CITI Bank, HSBC, ABM, Standered

Chartered, HDFC also provide equivalent facilities like ICICI do and

also ICICI do not have consistency in its international operation.

2) Net Services: ICICI Bank provides all kind of services on-line.

There can be easy access to the e-mail ids of the customers through

wrong people. The confidential information of the customers can be

leaked easily through the e-mail ids.

39

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 40/59

3) Decentralized Management: Each branch manager is given the

authority of taking decisions in their respective branches. The

decisions made by different managers are diverse and any one

wrong decision can laid to heavy losses to the bank.

4) No Proper Facilities To Uneducated customers: ICICI Bankprovides all services through electronic computerized machines. This

creates problems to the less educated people. But this threat falls in

the 4th quadrant so it’s negligible. The company can avoid this threat.

The Bank is actively involved since 1973 in non-profit activity called Community

Services Banking. All the branches and administrative offices throughout the

country sponsor and participate in large number of welfare activities and social

causes. Their business is more than banking because they touch the lives of 

people anywhere in many ways.

Their commitment to nation-building is complete & comprehensive.

History

The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of 19th century, when

the Bank of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2

June 1806. The Bank of Bengal and two other Presidency banks, namely, the

Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras 

(incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as

 joint stock companies, and were the result of the royal charters. These three

banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency in 1861 with the Paper 

Currency Act, a right they retained until the formation of the Reserve Bank of  

India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the

40

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 41/59

reorganized banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial

Bank of India continued to remain a joint stock company.

Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act (1955), the Reserve 

Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the

Imperial Bank of India. On 30 April 1955 the Imperial Bank of India became theState Bank of India. The Govt. of India recently acquired the Reserve Bank of 

India's stake in SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is

the country's banking regulatory authority.

In 1959 the Government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act,

enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks

as its subsidiaries. On 13 September 2008, State Bank of Saurashtra, one of its

 Associate Banks, merged with State Bank of India.

SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. For instance, in 1985, it acquired Bank

of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI was the acquirer as its affiliate,

State Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive network in Kerala.

Associate banks

SBI has five associate banks that with SBI constitute the State Bank Group. All

use the same logo of a blue keyhole and all the associates use the "State Bank

of" name followed by the regional headquarters' name. Originally, the then seven

banks that became the associate banks belonged to princely states until the

government nationalized them between October, 1959 and May, 1960. In tune

with the first Five Year Plan, emphasizing the development of rural India, the

government integrated these banks into State Bank of India to expand its rural

outreach. There has been a proposal to merge all the associate banks into SBI tocreate a "mega bank" and streamline operations.

The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank 

of Saurashtra merged with SBI, reducing the number of state banks from seven

to six. Then on 19 June 2009 the SBI board approved the merger of its

41

8/2/2019 BANKS1 (1)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/banks1-1 42/59

subsidiary, State Bank of Indore, with itself. SBI holds 98.3% in State Bank of 

Indore. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its takeover by the government

hold the balance of 1.77 %.)

The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing

network of 12,448 and over 21,000 ATMs. Also, following the acquisition, SBI'stotal assets will inch very close to the Rs 10-lakh crore mark. Total assets of SBI

and the State Bank of Indore stood at Rs 998,119 crore as on March 2009. The

process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April 2010, and the

SBI Indore Branches started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August 2010.

Data analysis

Processing and analysis the collected data:

Once questionnaire have been received, the next task is to aggregate the

data in a meaningful manner. A number of tables are preparing to bring out

the main characteristics of the data. The researcher should have a well

thought out framework for processing and analyzing data, and this should be

done prior to the collection. It includes the following activities:

Editing: the first task in data processing is the editing. Editing is the process

of examining errors and omissions in the collected data and making

necessary corrections in the same.

Coding: coding is the procedure of classifying the answer to a question into

a meaningful categories. Coding is necessary to carry out the subsequent

operations of tabulating and analyzing data. If coding is not done, it will not be

possible to reduce a large number of heterogeneous responses into a

meaningful categories with the result that the analysis of data would be weak

and ineffective, and without proper focus.

Tabulation: tabulation comprises of the data into different categories and

counting the number of cases that belong to each category. The simplest way

to tabulate is to count the number of responses to one question. This is also

called universal tabulation. The analysis based on just one variable is

obviously meager. Where two or more variables are involved in tabulation, it

is called bivariate or multivariate tabulation.

Table 7INTERPRETATION

People belonging to ICICI are less as compare to SBI. This show that ATM

facility of SBI is better that that of ICICI. Internet banking to ICICI is better than

SBI as 26.6% of people belong to this group from ICICI. Mobile banking is 20% in

ICICI bank whereas 16.6% in SBI.

RecommendationSince many of the respondents are not aware of their key services. The bank has

to take some initiatives.

• The bank can post a list of services that they are rendered to the

customers inside the bank premises.

56
