EARLY HISTORY
The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865. However,
at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense
of the term. At the time of the American Civil War, a void was created as the supply of
cotton to Lancashire stopped from the Americas. Some banks were opened at that time to
finance industry, including speculative trading in 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.
At this time, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period of stability. Around
five decades have elapsed since the India's First war of Independence, and the social,
industrial and other infrastructure have developed. At that time there were very small
banks operated by Indians, and most of them were owned and operated by particular
communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India. There were also some exchange banks
and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated 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."
By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks such as Punjab
National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in Mumbai - both of which
were founded under private ownership. Punjab National Bank is the first Swadeshi Bank
founded by the leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia. The Swadeshi
movement in particular 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.

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 may 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 19th July, 1969.
NATIONALISATION
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate the
development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has emerged as a large employer,
and a debate has 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
Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move
was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised 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 passed the Banking Companies
(Acquition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on
9th August, 1969.
A second dose of nationalisation of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated
reason for the nationalisation was to give the government more control of credit delivery.
With the second dose of nationalisation, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking
business of India. Later on, in the year 1993, one of the nationalised banks, namely, New
Bank of India was merged with Punjab National Bank. It was the first and only merger of
a Nationalised Bank into a Nationalised Bank, resulting in the reducing the number of
Nationalised Banks from 20 to 19.
After this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to
the average growth rate of the Indian economy.
LIBERALISATION
In the early 1990s the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalisation and gave licences to a small number of private banks, which came to be
known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as Global Trust
Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up)which later amalgamated with
Oriental Bank of Commerce,UTI Bank(now re-named as Axis Bank), ICICI Bank and
HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, kickstarted
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 setup with the proposed relaxation 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 49%
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.
CURRENT SITUATION
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 timeespecially 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 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) - 27 public sector banks (that
is with the Government of India holding a stake)after merger of New Bank of India in
Punjab National Bank in 1993, 29 private 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. According to a report by
ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets
of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5%
respectively
Introduction of 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 liberalization 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.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Bank basically means business and in business collection of raw data allows the managers to see the real
scenario and then take a decision as per the data obtained. There are several implications in this
statement:
The bank gets a clear picture of the ULIP Market scenario.
They can examine the available information in the form of data to make a decision
They can even get a clear picture of the scenario or potential of the Savings Account and ULIPs
of their banks in comparison to other banks.
The information can only be gathered by data collection and then analyzing the available data.
Therefore, it can be said that the data collection is an important part of the project.

3. Customer Survey:
The people play an important part as a clear perception of people about the product can be
estimated and known. Studying the need levels of the people regarding the Insurance product can be
observed. It was very useful in knowing about the requirements of the people.
Research Design:
A two stage Research was conducted:
1. Secondary Research:
Data was collected from websites and catalogues to understand the product of the different players
2. Primary Research:
A Primary Research was conducted:
The questionnaire was prepared for the companies and following areas covered:
competing banks
Features offered by different banks
Consumer profile
Satisfaction level
Reasons for their invesment
Desirable features of the product.
Sampling Plan:
Elements:
The target population of the study included the general population above the age of 21 yrs. It will
further be based on Stratified Random Sampling.
DATA COLLECTION
The final draft of the questionnaire (see Appendix) was prepared on the basis of the
observations from the pilot study. These were then finally filled by 1000 customer,
for the conclusive study.
Finally the data collected was fed into the data analysis software- SPSS, to be
analyzed using statistical techniques.
Types of Primary Data collected:
Socioeconomic Characteristics:
socioeconomic characteristics are sometimes called states of being in that they
represent the type of people. The factors on which we are working are
occupation. Monthly transection is also an important parameter but it is
difficult to verify. Although the amount of money that business unit earns in a
month is an absolute, not a relative quantity but it is a sensitive topic in our
society and it is difficult to determine.
Attitudes/Opinions:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to get hold of business preference,
inclination and requirement. Attitude is an important notion in the marketing
literature, since it is generally thought that the attitudes are related to the
behavior of businessmen.
Motivation:
Through the questionnaire we have tried to find the hidden need or want of
businessmen and have tried to find if these people can be tapped as the
potential customer for HDFC Bank.
Behavior:
Behavior concerns what subjects have done or are doing. Through the
questionnaire we have tried to find out the behavior of the individuals
regarding the product and their responses. If the responses are favorable
then the person can be said to be our potential customer. The primary
data serves as an important tool to measure the behavioral trend of the
customer. It helps in answering some of the vital Questions.
Obtaining the Primary Data:
The data collection was primarily done through communication.
Communication involves questioning respondents to secure the desired
information, using a data collection instrument called questionnaire. The
questions were in writing and so were the responses.

CONCLUSIONS
1. Almost all the Banks offer similar features and facilities with their
Savings accounts, therefore for existing customers of Current
Account of any Bank to shift to another Bank; this is very rarely the
criteria or reason.
2. The level of service in terms of delivering whatever is promised, fast
response in case of problems, is the most important benefit that the
customers seek, from the Bank they have a Current Account with.
3. Network reach and visibility of a Bank is a very important criterion
for the customer while opening a Current Account. We can also
conclude from our analysis that network reach in terms of Branches
and ATMs is directly proportional
Private Players.
4. In case of a new customer, if a bank approaches it first for opening a
Current Account with them, then there is a good chance for the
bank of getting many future businesses and cross sales from the
deal.
5. Aggressive Marketing is the key to increasing the market share in
this area, since the market has a lot of potential both in terms of
untapped market .
service what ever the reason the bank can popularize this service
to gain an edge over nationalized banks and Co-operative Banks.
6. Quality of service has been rated highly important by all
demofigureic factors as a reason for banking with a particular
bank, Standard Chartered needs to improve the services provided
to its existing customers before attracting more in the future and
use word of mouth as a promotional tool to increase the sales
potential of its savings account.
