12
SUPPLIER POWER :-High
Depositors may invest elsewhere if interest rates fall.
There are large numbers of banks and NBFC’s and there is a rise in investment avenues like
Mutual Funds, Tax-free bonds, Equity market etc. due to which the bargaining power of supplier is
also high.
BARRIERS TO ENTRY :-Low to Medium
Licensing requirement.
Investment in technology ,
and branch network.
Banks are fearful of being squeezed out of the loan business, especially since it is a good source of fee-based revenue.
Another trend that poses a threat is companies offering other financial services. What would it take for an insurance company to start offering mortgage and loan service?
Degree of rivalry within industry:-High
There is intense competition due to the large number of players in the market.
There are 296 Commercial banks and many NBFC’s operating in India.
Players attempt to lure clients away from competitors by offering lower financing, preferred
rates, and investment services.
The finance sector is in a race to see who can offer the better and faster services, but this also causes the players to experience a lower ROA.
They then have an incentive to take- on high risk projects
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES:-High
There are public sector banks, private sector and
foreign banks along with other non banking finance
companies competing in similar business lines.
In the lending side of the business,banks are seeing
competition rise from unconventional companies
e.g. car and bike companies are offering 0% finance,
why would anyone want to get a loan from the bank
and pay 5-10% interest?
BUYER POWER
Low switching costs
For good creditworthy borrowers bargaining power is high due to the availability of large
number of players.
There are large no. of players to choose according to the specific requirements of the
customers due to which the level of competition is intense among the players.

Eligibility Conditions
Loan to value(LTV)
ratio
LTV is one of the key risk factors that Lenders-
financial institutions or non-financial
institution-assess when qualifying
borrowers/potential customers for a secured
loan. The risk of default is always at the
forefront of lending decisions, and the
likelihood of a lender absorbing a loss in the
foreclosure process increases as the amount of
equity decreases. Therefore, as the LTV ratio of
a loan increase, the qualification guidelines for
certain secured loan programs become stricter .
Lender can require borrowers of high LTV
loans to buyer default, which increases the
costs of the product offered.

Fullerton India through their friends who had taken loan from Fullerton

Findings of the Study:-
In the analysis of collected data, I found that those customer who
have already taken some type of loan have chances to be delinquent.
51
Mainly delinquent customers related to 2-3 or more loan track, we
have to focus on minimum loan track customers.
Most of the people are satisfied with the rate of interest charged by
Fullerton India.
FICCL provides finance facilities only on motorbikes and scooters
whereas ICICI and HDFC bank provides loans for all kinds of two
wheelers.
Two mandatory references are required by FICCL while HDFC and
ICICI do not require any kind of references from friends or relatives
for providing two wheeler loans.
Norms for eligibility of two wheeler loans are stricter in FICCL
compared to other players.
Late payment charges are fixed for FICCL while these are variable
depending on the principal amount due for ICICI and HDFC.
Loan processing charges are cheaper in case of FICCL.
Customers are the main source of new ideas, and thus their
suggestions are vital for every Company. From the above figure it is
clear that majority of the respondents are satisfied with the services
of FICCL , but no one can satisfy everyone at same time, so
Fullerton India have respondents who are not satisfied with rate of
interest and services of Fullerton India.
Suggestions and Recommendations:-
The following suggestions have been formulated on the basis of above
study. These set of suggestions might help the Fullerton India to improve
the quality of service regarding loan provisions and simultaneously these
52
suggestions help the Fullerton India to tackle the competition prevailing in
the market, thereby achieving success in the future.
Firstly Fullerton India should create awareness among the
common public about the various loan schemes which they are
providing.
Provide management with information to monitor delinquency.
We have to consider about the living standard of the customers.
Trade of the customer should be analyzed and residential
information also be strongly analyzed.
Defining acceptable level of delinquency.
In order to create awareness regarding the loan schemes an
electronic medium of media can put to use to advertise about the
schemes and services provided by Fullerton India. This would
help to change the attitude of the people regarding Fullerton
India.
FICCL may adopt somewhat lenient procedure regarding norms
for eligibility to two wheeler loan facility to attract more
customers.
FICCL may provide attractive gift schemes from time to time in
order to enhance customer satisfaction and to deal with the
prevailing competition.
Fullerton must consider all the products in the two wheeler
segment for providing loan to fully tap the available market
potential.
Variable late payment charges should be levied by the company
in order to provide greater customer satisfaction and increase
53
customer loyalty among the customers who make the payment
generally on time.
The interest rates should be regularly revised in order to attract
more and more customer. Some new plans should be introduced
regularly to cater the special needs of customer which provides
them more offerings and benefits.
New strategies should be made by the company which enables
them to face the competition with other private leading Non
Banking Financial companies.
The company needs to focus more on providing value added
services to its customer. This will create Brand loyalty among
customer which indirectly attract more and more customer
because a satisfied customer will always bring more new
customers.
The management of company should be more efficient which enables in
quick processing of the task regarding loans disbursement and loan
collection. This will enable efficiency in the working capital cycle of the
company.
