PREFACE

Without practical training, management education is meaningless so long with the theory;

practical training is provided to management students to expose them to the actual working

environment of any organization. Such training provides a framework of knowledge

relating to the concepts and practices of the assigned topics in the organization.

The summer training is an integral part of the course curriculum of Master of Business

Administration (M.B.A. 3rd sem). In this the student is in the position to analyze the integral

working of an organization with mature eyes and understand the dynamics in a much better

manner.

This particular project has been conducted at HDFC Bank. In the first phase of the research

project, there is a introduction of Banking, company profile and products of HDFC Bank

are given. After that a market research is performed with a sample size of 100 people. The

research study was limited to Rudrapur. Here, in my survey, I have contacted the

respondents through personal interviews with the help of questionnaires.

The main objective of the research is to know the customer satisfaction level and their

perception regarding HDFC Bank and to know the customer awareness regarding the

HDFC Bank’s products.

HDFC Bank should lay more stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other

media. Opening up the sector will certainly mean new products, better packaging and

improved customer service. Both new and existing players will have to explore new

distribution and marketing channels. Potential buyers for most of Banks lie in the middle

class. Competitors must segment the market carefully to arrive at appropriate products and

pricing. Recognizing the potential, in the past three years, the nationalized Banks have

already begun to target niches like pensions, women, children and rural peoples.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

The report contains the organizational study done at HDFC Bank. The report title is

“CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REGARDIND HDFC BANKING SERVICES”.

The report gives an overview of the banking Sector and company profile. And awareness of

customers about different types of products and services offered by HDFC Bank.

targeted to the different persons in Rudrapur. For this purpose sample size of 100 was

taken. The data collected from the different persons was analyzed thoroughly and presented

in the form of charts and tables.

HDFC must advertise regularly and create brand value for its products and services. Most

of its competitors like ICICI, Axis, kotak Mahindra and nationalized banks use television

advertisements to promote their products. The Indian consumer has a false perception about

private banks – they feel that it would not safe.

Safety and returns are the two main reasons people invest in banks. On the whole HDFC

bank is a good place to work at. Every new recruit is provided with extensive training on

the products of HDFC. This training enables an advisor/sales manager to market the

policies better. The company should try to create awareness about itself in India. . With an

improvement in the sales techniques used, a fair bit of advertising and modifications to the

existing product portfolio, HDFC would be all set to capture the banking market in India as

it has around the globe.

INTRODUCATION TO THE STUDY

Customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction refers to how satisfied customers are with the products or services they receive from a particular agency. The level of satisfaction is determined not only by the quality and type of customer experience but also by the customer’s expectations.A customer may be defined as someone who

has a direct relationship with, or is directly affected by your agency and

Receives or relies on one or more of your agency’s services or products.

Customers in human services are commonly referred to as service users, consumers or clients. They can be individuals or groups. An organization with a strong customer service culture places the customer at the centre of service design, planning and service delivery. Customer centric organizations will:

Determine the customer’s expectations when they plan listen to the customer as they design.

Focus on the delivery of customer service activities value customer feedback when they measure performance.

It’s importance

There are a number of reasons why customer satisfaction is important in Banking Sector:

Meeting the needs of the customer is the underlying rationale for the existence of community service organizations. Customers have a right to quality services that deliver outcomes.

Organizations that strive beyond minimum standards and exceed the expectations of their customers are likely to be leaders in their sector.

Customers are recognized as key partners in shaping service development and assessing quality of service delivery.

The process for measuring customer satisfaction and obtaining feedback on organizational performance are valuable tools for quality and continuous service improvement.

and now banks are doing the insurance and mutual funds also. but nationalised banks

are still service oriented in extending loans for Education loan, and rural development

HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA

Phase I

The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency Banks. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders.In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as the Banking Authority.During those days public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit mobilisation was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders.

Phase II

Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In 1955, it nationalised Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi-urban areas. It formed State Bank of India to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and State Governments all over the country.Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalised in 1960 on 19th July, 1969, major process of nationalisation was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country were nationalised.Second phase of nationalisation Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India under Government ownership.

The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions in the Country:

1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act. 1955: Nationalisation of State Bank of India. 1959: Nationalisation of SBI subsidiaries.

38 | P a g e

Page 39: Customer satisfaction regarding hdfc bank

1961: Insurance cover extended to deposits. 1969: Nationalisation of 14 major banks. 1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation. 1975: Creation of regional rural banks. 1980: Nationalisation of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore.

After the nationalisation of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.

Phase III

This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalisation of banking practices.The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money.

The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high, the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited foreign exchange exposure.

Here we more concerned about private sector banks and competition among them. Today, there are 27 private sector banks in the banking Sector: 19 old private sector banks and 8 new private sector banks. These new banks have brought in state-of-the-art technology and aggressively marketed their products. The Public sector banks are facing a stiff competition from the new private sector banks. The banks which have been setup in the 1990s under the guidelines Of the Narasimham Committee are referred to as NEW PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS.

INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRIES

The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. An expanding Economy, middle class, and technological innovations are all Contributing to this growth.

The country’s middle class accounts for over 320 million people. In correlation with the growth of the economy, rising income levels, increased standard of living, and affordability of banking products are promising factors for continued expansion.

The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution, focusing on the expansion of retail and rural banking. Players are becoming increasingly customer - centric in their approach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new banking products and services. Banks are now realizing the importance of being a big player and are beginning to focus their attention on mergers and acquisitions to take advantage of economies of scale and/or comply with Basel II regulation. “Indian banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010 and are poised to receive a greater infusion of foreign capital,” says Prathima Rajan, analyst in Celent's banking group and author of the report.“The banking industry should focus on having a small number of large players that can compete globally rather than having a large number of fragmented players."

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

It is said, “Nothing is perfect” and if the quite is true, I am sure that there would be few shortcoming in this project also. Sincere efforts have been made to eliminate discrepancies as far as possible but few would have reminded due to limitations of the study. These are:

The research was carried out in a short period.

Limited sample size.

The information given by the respondent might be biased some of them might not be interested to give correct information.

Some of the respondents of the survey were unwilling to share information.

64 | P a g e

Page 65: Customer satisfaction regarding hdfc bank

CONCLUSION

At the end I would like to conclude that The Indian banking market is growing at an

astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. HDFC bank had a

network of 4,014 branches And 11,766 automated teller machines in 2,464 cities in India..

The majority of customers are satisfied. But the bank should target on the rest of the

customers who are not satisfied. The customers are aware about the bank’s services but the

Bank should try to create more awareness among people. HDFC Bank should lay more

stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other media for this purpose. Number of

formalities should reduce, as customer feels irritated with lots of formalities and it will save

the time of customer and Bank also.
