EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Retail banking refers to provision of banking services to individuals and small


business where the financial institutions are dealing with large number of low
value transactions. The concept is not new to banks but is now viewed as an
important and attractive market segment that offers opportunities for growth and
profits.

Excess of liquidity, increased dependence of corporate on capital markets, the


rising income of middle class with increase in purchasing power and ability to
handle debts, the increasing amount of NPA’s from corporate portfolio and the
growth and future growth potential of the credit card business has induced
banks to shift from wholesale banking to retail banking.

Retail banking has immense opportunities in a growing economy like India. As


the growth story gets unfolded in India, retail banking is going to emerge a
major driver. Some of the key policy issues relevant to the retail-banking sector
are: financial inclusion, responsible lending, and access to finance, long-term
savings, financial capability, consumer protection, regulation and financial
crime prevention.

The credit portfolio of banking business is fast changing in India. Retail lending
is becoming an important segment of bank credit. Large credit exposures are
linked to bank’s capital. Limits have to be fixed for single exposure in relation
to the capital funds. A paradigm shift from corporate lending and
disintermediation are reasons responsible for resurgence. Banks are facing

3
fierce competition not only amongst themselves but also from aggressive
NBFC's. As a result, interest rates on retail lending too have come down.

Risk management for banks as far as retail banking goes should focus on risk
and return characteristics of consumer loans, revenues from consumer loans,
losses from consumer loans, and the collection strategies, product structuring
and lending policies.

Retention of consumers is going to be a major challenge. Second, rising


indebtedness could turn out to be a cause for concern in the future. Third,
information technology poses both opportunities and challenges. Even with
ATM machines and Internet Banking, many of the customers still prefer the
personal touch of their neighborhood branch bank. Fourth, KYC Issues and
money laundering risks in retail banking is yet another important issue.

Customer service is perhaps the most important dimension of retail banking


followed by constant product innovation. Quality and pace in delivery,
introduction of new channels of delivery, cross selling of products, price
bundling, and most important of all by become technology savvy.

CHAPTER- 1
RATIONAL FOR THE STUDY

6
Concept of Retail Banking:-

Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of
commercial banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides
of the balance sheet. Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and
mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing, auto, and educational) on the assets
side, are the more important of the products offered by banks. Related ancillary
services include credit cards, or depository services. Today's Retail banking
sector is characterized by three basic characteristics:

Multiple products (deposits, credit cards, insurance, investments and


securities); Multiple channels of distribution (call centre, branch, Internet and
kiosk); and Multiple customer groups (consumer, small business, and
corporate).

What is the nature of Retail banking? In a recent book, Retail banking has been
described as "hotter than vindaloo". Considering the fact that vindaloo, the
Indian-English innovative curry available in umpteen numbers of restaurants of
London, is indeed very hot and spicy, it seems that Retail banking is perceived
to be the in-thing in today's world of banking.

There are various banks providing the retail services to the consenter all over
India namely HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, SBI, HSBC Bank, Axis Bank etc.

7
WHY ARE BANKS CHANGING TO RETAIL BANKING?

Banks are awash with liquidity. Prime corporates do not borrow from banks
except at sub-PLR rates. Banks do not favor other corporates. Suddenly there is
a great change in attitude of banks. The name of the game is no longer ‘Lending
to big corporates, huge amounts to create loan assets’. Banks invest their
resources in government paper to the hilt and then scout for hitherto neglected
retail borrowers for lending. Retail credit is now welcomed even from RBI’s
perspective. There are no longer any regulatory hurdles. Consumer credit is no
longer considered as unproductive, as it triggers demand for consumer products,
which in turn help manufacturers in a period of economic slowdown. Retail to
project credit stands to a ratio of 3: 1. While the rates of interest on consumer
credit have still fallen, there is a scope for further reduction. Perhaps,
competition will further bring down the interest rates.

Fixed interest rates on housing loan have sharply fallen, but not the floating
rates, which are linked to medium and long-term PLRs. Banks, refuse to reduce
these rates, which appears rather unfair. But then the consumers still needs
innovative products like graduated payment mortgages etc., in place of stand
alone EMI structures.

SME sector borrowers still appear to be suffering from inadequate and delayed
credit delivery this sector has immense potential for growth and banks have to
devise innovative strategies to fund their ventures on the principle of
entrepreneurship and bank ability rather than mere collateral securities.

8
Micro finance, another area of retail credit, has unfortunately become a so-
called priority sector credit. Perhaps it will be a great idea if it is delinked from
the obnoxious priority tag and thereby allow banks to display creativity in
financing the sector, especially in rural and semi-urban areas where its potential
for positive transformation of socio-economic conditions is immense. Banks are
gradually appreciating the virtue of spreading the credit risk by financing large
number of small (Retail) borrowers.

Credit card business is growing and even government banks have started
marketing cards. Surprisingly, they still do not leverage the network of branches
and availability of surplus manpower into effective marketing. The interest rates
on credit cards that are 30 percent per annum refuse to come down. May be with
the active participation of many banks in this lucrative business, the customer
will eventually have the benefit of low rates. Thanks to the on set of ATMs,
channel migration is visible.

The personal banking segment customers have become the center of attraction.
It is their deposit and savings account that are actively sought after, and not
mega deposits at a slightly higher rate of interest. Banks are truly spreading
their deposit net rather widely.

It perhaps apt to quote what Hugh McCulloch, secretary of the treasury – UK,
said long ago – ‘Distribute your loans rather than concentrate them in a few
hands. Large loans to a single borrower or a firm, although some times proper
and necessary, are generally injudicious and frequently unsafe. Large borrowers
are apt to control the bank, and when this is the relation between a bank and its
customers, it is not difficult to decide which one in the end will suffer”.

9
Characteristic of Retail Banking:-

Let me briefly highlight some of the basic reasons.

1. Economic prosperity and the consequent increase in purchasing power have


given a fillip to a consumer boom. Note that during the 10 years after 1992,
India’s economy grew at an average rate of 6.8 percent and continues to grow at
the almost the same rate – not many countries in the world match this
performance.

2. Changing consumer demographics indicate vast potential for growth in


consumption both qualitatively and quantitatively. India is one of the countries
having highest proportion (70%) of the population below 35 years of age
(young population). The BRIC report of the Goldman-Sachs, which predicted a
bright future for Brazil, Russia, India and China, mentioned Indian demographic
advantage as an important positive factor for India.

3. Technological factors played a major role. Convenience banking in the form


of debit cards, internet and phone- banking, anywhere and anytime banking has
attracted many new customers into the banking field. Technological innovations
relating to increasing use of credit / debit cards, ATMs, direct debits and phone
banking has contributed to the growth of retail banking in India.

4. The Treasury income of the banks, which had strengthened the bottom lines
of banks for the past few years, has been on the decline during the last two
years. In such a scenario, retail business provides a good vehicle of profit
maximization. Considering the fact that retail’s share in impaired assets is far
lower than the overall bank loans and advances, retail loans have put

10
comparatively less provisioning burden on banks apart from diversifying their
income streams.

RETAIL BANKING:-

The Retail Banking environment today is changing fast. The changing


customer demographics demands to create a differentiated application based
on scalable technology, improved service and banking convenience. Higher
penetration of technology and increase in global literacy levels has set up the
expectations of the customer higher than never before. Increasing use of
modern technology has further enhanced reach and accessibility.

The market today gives us a challenge to provide multiple and innovative


contemporary services to the customer through a consolidated window as so to
ensure that the bank’s customer gets “Uniformity and Consistency” of service
delivery across time and at every touch point across all channels. The pace of
innovation is accelerating and security threat has become prime of all
electronic transactions. High cost structure rendering mass-market servicing is
prohibitively expensive.

Present day tech-savvy bankers are now more looking at reduction in their
operating costs by adopting scalable and secure technology thereby reducing
the response time to their customers so as to improve their client base and
economies of scale.

The solution lies to market demands and challenges lies in innovation of new
offering with minimum dependence on branches – a multi-channel bank and to
eliminate the disadvantage of an inadequate branch network. Generation of
leads to cross sell and creating additional revenues with utmost customer
satisfaction has become focal point worldwide for the success of a Bank.

12
Retail Banking in India 2008:-

Retail banking in India is not a new phenomenon. It has always been prevalent
in India in various forms. For the last few years it has become synonymous with
mainstream banking for many banks.

The typical products offered in the Indian Retail banking segment are housing
loans, consumption loans for purchase of durables, auto loans, credit cards and
educational loans. The loans are marketed under attractive brand names to
differentiate the products offered by different banks. Credit card is another
rapidly growing.

While new generation private sector banks have been able to create a niche in
this regard, the public sector banks have not lagged behind. Leveraging their
vast branch network and outreach, public sector banks have aggressively
forayed to garner a larger slice of the retail pie. By international standards,
however, there is still much scope for Retail banking in India. After all, retail
loans constitute less than seven per cent of GDP in India vis-à-vis about 35 per
cent for other Asian economies — South Korea (55 per cent), Taiwan (52 per
cent), Malaysia (33 per cent) and Thailand (18 per cent). As Retail banking in
India is still growing from modest base, there is a likelihood that the growth
numbers seem to get somewhat exaggerated. One, thus, has to exercise caution
is interpreting the growth of Retail banking in India.

The annual growth in bank credit to the commercial sector is at 25.4%as on

13
March 31, 2007 and was lower than 27.2% against previous year. Till 2010,
retail banking is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28% to touch a figure of INR
9,700 billion. This requires expansion and diversification of retail product
portfolio, better penetration and faster service mechanism.

The Retail Banking Industry in India covers industry segments like housing
loan, auto loan, personal loan, education loan, consumer durable loan, credit
card etc. Total 22 major retail banks in India are covered in terms of their
performance, strategy and outlook.

Key Highlights Covered:-

- During 2006-07, gross credit extended by Indian commercial banks grew by


34.83% to touch INR 19,495 billion.

- Bank increase deposit Rs.57988 crores during the period of 2007 against
Rs.45, 384 crores during the period of 2006. And that is 19.3% from 16.3% o
HDFC Bank.

- Retail credit constitutes about 25% of the total credit and has grown by 28.0%
to INR 4,218.3 billion

- The annual growth in bank credit to the commercial sector is at 25.4% as on


March 31, 2007 and was lower than 27.2% against previous year.

- Till 2010, retail banking is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28% to touch a


figure of INR 9,700 billion.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF RETAIL
BANKING

ADVANTAGES:-

Retail banking has inherent advantages outweighing certain disadvantages.


Advantages are analyzed from the resource angle and asset angle.

RESOURCES SIDE

 Retail deposits are stable and constitute core deposits.


 They are interest insensitive and less bargaining for additional interest.
 They constitute low cost funds for the banks.
 Effective customer relationship management with the retail customers
built a strong a strong customer base.
 Retail banking increases the subsidiary business of the banks.

ASSETS SIDE

 Retail banking results in better yield and improved bottom line for a
bank.
 Retail segment is a good avenue for funds deployment.
 Consumer loans are presumed to be of lower risk and NPA perception.
 Helps economic revival of the nation through increased production
activity.
 Improves lifestyle and fulfills aspirations of the people through affordable
credit.

15
 Innovative product development credit.
 Retail banking involves minimum marketing efforts in a demand –driven
economy.
 Diversified portfolio due to huge customer base enables bank to reduce
their dependence on few or single borrower
 Banks can earn good profits by providing non fund based or fee based
services without deploying their funds.

DISADVANTAGES:-

 Designing own and new financial products is very costly and


time consuming for the bank.

 Customers now-a-days prefer net banking to branch banking.


The banks that are slow in introducing technology-based
products, are finding it difficult to retain the customers who
wish to opt for net banking.

 Customers are attracted towards other financial products like


mutual funds etc.

 Though banks are investing heavily in technology, they are not


able to exploit the same to the full extent.

16
 Major disadvantages are monitoring and follow up of huge
volume of loan accounts inducing banks to spend heavily in
human resource department.

 Long term loans like housing loan due to its long repayment
term in the absence of proper follow-up, can become NPAs.

 The volume of amount borrowed by a single customer is very


low as compared to wholesale banking. This does not allow
banks to exploit the advantage of earning huge profits from
single customer as in case of wholesale banking.

26
CHAPTER - 4
THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE

27
Focus shifts to Retail Banking

With spreads shrinking, Indian banks are following their global counterparts and
focusing on increasing the share of their fee – based income. The ratio of non-
interest income to total funds has already increased for some banks and the first
quarter results of the current fiscal affirm this fact.

Within the banking sector, increasing competition and growing risk remain
important challenges, as banks concentrate on consolidation to meet
competition, the key driver in staying ahead of the competition is technology
and how well banks use it to meet the needs of their customers. In today’s
sophisticated market, credit risk along with market risk and operational risk are
the real challenges before banks”.

During April to mid-June, the increase in deposits was Rs.57, 988 crores during
the period of 2007 against Rs.45, 389 crores during the period of 2006 in the
previous year, that is, a rise of 19.3 percent as against 16.3 percent in the same
period last year. The proportion of time deposits as compared to demand
deposits was higher indicating spreads may shrink further. “In 2001-02, the
overall growth in deposits is expected to be lower at around 16 percent, largely
due to slower growth in money supply compared with that in 2000-01, lower
interest rates on deposits especially bulk deposits and reduction in dividend
distribution taxes from 20 percent to 10 percent on mutual funds making mutual
funds a more tad-efficient investment.” Said Mr. M.M. Joseph, Research Head
of SBI Capital Markets.

28
As the growth in scheduled commercial banks credit slowed down to 15.6
percent on a year-on-year basis from 23 percent a year ago. There was the
lowest growth recorded in year 1999 when the year on year increase in bank
credit was 15 percent. In absolute terms total credit increase by Rs.7743 crores
during 2001 against Rs.10965 crores during the corresponding period of the
previous year credit growth remained around 16.5 percent on a year-on-year
basis.

The slowdown could be attributed to lack of credit off-take by the industrial


sector even as food credit continued to surge. Because of the recession and
industrial slowdown, most corporate appear to have postponed their expansion
plans and have put on hold Greenfield projects.

Moreover big corporate are bypassing banks and raising money through the
debt market and commercial papers, which are cheaper than bank credit.

Therefore, banks are being forced to look at the mid-corporate. But, this is a
risky strategy as the risk is concentrated and delinquency higher.

To compensate, most banks have devised strategies to go in for retail banking as


a major thrust area.

“The risk here is distributed and there is a huge market to be tapped,” Some of
the banks which have been aggressive in this area are HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank,
State Bank of India (SBI) and Corporation Bank. Interest rates, especially on
short tenure declined due to a reducing in the Bank rate and cut in interest rates
on contractual savings such as Public Provident Fund (PPF). Some of the major
banks have reduced their prime lending rates (PLRs) and others are likely to

29
follow suit. “The spreads have been shrinking and banks are searching for other
avenues to protect their bottom lines,”

A comparison of old and new private sector banks indicates a clear difference in
profitability. New private sector banks have shown higher ROA and a higher
RONW as compared to old private sector banks. It is also interesting to see the
performance of banks over the previous year.

With spreads shrinking, Indian banks are following their global counterparts and
focusing on increasing the share off their fee-based income. “Fee-based
income” may increase marginally in future.

The ratio of non-interest income to total funds has increased for some banks. A
rising ratio is expected in the future.

The increase in net sales of Corporation Bank is only 5 percent while the rise in
other income is 34 percent. ICICI also raised its other income by 307 percent as
compared to a net sales increase of only 65 percent.

The growth in the economy has been sluggish and banks can no longer afford to
rely on big corporate customers. There is a shift in focus towards retail banking.
Most banks are targeting in middle class and lower middle class segment. Huge
Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) are plaguing old private sector banks. The asset
quality of banks in largely dependent on economic growth and makes it difficult
for them to recover loans till the economy revives.

Some positive policy initiatives have been taken by the Government which will
give an impetus to consolidation in the banking industry. The limit of foreign
direct investment (FDI) in private sector banks has been raised to 49 percent

30
form 33 percent. This will allow foreign banks to buy a strategic stake in private
sector banks having the latest technology and better quality assets. This year, the
banking industry has witnessed two big mergers. Times Bank Centurion bank
and Punjab bank merged with HDFC Bank and Bank of Madura with ICICI
Bank. Banks could increase their revenue base and leverage on their distribution
network by investing in the growing insurance sector. However, the inflows
would be slow to being with. There has also been a thrust on the housing sector.

Flexible financing with lower interest rates has resulted in brisk activity in the
sector. SBI and other banks have launched voluntary retirement scheme (VRS),
and effort to bring down operating cost. There is an increased focus towards
auto loans, car loans, funding for infrastructure, and other fee-based services
such as guarantees and commissions on drafts, gold banking, derivatives and the
like.

“Overall, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and SBI have shown good performance and
appeared to be geared to take on the challenges,”

These banks are changing their strategy and shifting focus from big corporates
to mid-corporates and also retail banking and housing finance. The Indian
banking system is in the midst of a technological revolution with banks offering
anywhere banking, 24/7 and also attempting to become a one stop financial
shop offering all financial solutions.

It is believed that new private sector banks such HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank
has demonstrated their ability to improve other income, which was previously
the forte of foreign banks due to good service.

31
This trend is expected to continue. Nationalized banks and old private sector
banks will also follow suit and there is hardly any progress in this area. If old
private sector banks have to service they will have to compete on service.

Pension fund industry in India grew at a CAGR of 122.44% from 1999-00 to


2006-07. In terms of ownership, debit cards are more in number than credit
cards but in terms of transactions, use of credit cards is more prevalent than
debit cards.

The ATM outlets in India increased at a rate of 28.09% from March 2006 to
March 2007.

Opportunities and Challenges of Retail Banking in India:-

Opportunities:-

Retail banking has immense opportunities in a growing economy like

India. As the growth story gets unfolded in India, retail banking is going to

emerge a major driver, recently identified India as the "second most attractive

retail destination" of 30 emergent markets.

The rise of the Indian middle class is an important contributory factor in

this regard. The percentage of middle to high income Indian households is

expected to continue rising. The younger population not only wields increasing

purchasing power, but as far as acquiring personal debt is concerned, they are

perhaps more comfortable than previous generations. Improving consumer

purchasing power, coupled with more liberal attitudes toward personal debt, is

contributing to India’s retail banking segment.

The combination of the above factors promises substantial growth in the retail

sector, which at present is in the nascent stage. Due to bundling of services and

delivery channels, the areas potential conflicts of interest tend to increase in

universal banks and financial conglomerates. Some of the key policy issues

36
relevant to the retail banking sector are: financial inclusion, responsible lending,

and access to finance, long-term savings, financial capability, consumer

protection, regulation and financial crime prevention. What are the challenges

for the industry and its stakeholders?

Challenges:-

What are the challenges for the industry and its stakeholders?

1. Retention of customers is going to be a major challenge. According to a


research by Reichheld and Sasser in the Harvard Business Review, 5 per cent
increase in customer retention can increase profitability by 35 per cent in
banking business, 50 per cent in insurance and brokerage, and 125 per cent in
the consumer credit card market. Thus, banks need to emphasize retaining
customers and increasing market share.

2. Rising indebtedness could turn out to be a cause for concern in the future.
India’s position, of course, is not comparable to that of the developed world
where household debt as a proportion of disposable income is much higher.
Such a scenario creates high uncertainty. Expressing concerns about the high
growth witnessed in the consumer credit segments the Reserve Bank has, as a
temporary measure, put in place risk containment measures and increased the
risk weight from 100 per cent to 125 per cent in the case of consumer credit
including personal loans and credit cards (Mid-term Review of Annual Policy,
2004-05).

3. Information technology poses both opportunities and challenges. Even with


ATM machines and Internet Banking, many consumers still prefer the personal
touch of their neighborhood branch bank. Technology has made it possible to

37
deliver services throughout the branch bank network, providing instant updates
to checking accounts and rapid movement of money for stock transfers.
However, this dependency on the network has brought IT department’s
additional responsibilities and challenges in managing, maintaining and
optimizing the performance of retail banking networks. Illustratively, ensuring
that all bank products and services are available, at all times, and across the
entire organization is essential for today's retails banks to generate revenues and
remain competitive. Besides, there are network management challenges,
whereby keeping these complex, distributed networks and applications
operating properly in support of business objectives becomes essential. Specific
challenges include ensuring that account transaction applications run efficiently
between the branch offices and data centre.

4. KYC Issues and money laundering risks in retail banking is yet another
important issue. Retail lending is often regarded as a low risk area for money
laundering because of the perception of the sums involved. However,
competition for clients may also lead to KYC procedures being waived in the
bid for new business. Banks must also consider seriously the type of
identification documents they will accept and other processes to be completed.
The Reserve Bank has issued details guidelines on application of KYC norms in
November 2004.

38

quantum of the flows comes in from the Gulf (Middle East) region. Most of

METHODOLOGY AND SAMPLE DESIGN

The unit of observation and analysis of this survey of the bank customers of
HDFC Bank. The sampling frame in the form of a list of all customers is neither
readily available nor can it be easily prepared. One of the notable features of
the design is that the sample has been taken from a cross section of customers in
Mumbai with the objective of enhancing the precision of the estimates. The total
number of branches in India is 761 out of which 70 branches are covered by
Mumbai city. Since most of the policy decisions are been taken by the head
office which is located at Mumbai most of the centers are located at Mumbai.
Hence Mumbai and its suburb were covered in the sampling survey. A total of
1000 customers in different branches of HDFC Bank were selected in the
Sample frame. Information on some basic characteristics of the customer along
with the service availed from HDFC Bank was collected from these customers.
A sub sample of 50 customers was then used for detailed canvassing.

Coverage: -
Mumbai City and its suburb have been covered by the survey.

Reference Period:

“ An organization or individual that receives a product or service from a
company”

A Definition to Guide Customer Service:-

Define by Jack Speer, BizWatch Publisher “Excellent customer service is


the process by which your organization delivers its services or products in a
way that allows the customer to access them in the most efficient, fair, cost
effective, and humanly satisfying and pleasurable manner possible.”

Stratification and Selection of sample Customers:

The Customers are also classified into the following five income categories
based on the data collected on customer’s income. The income categories
were:-

 Low, with monthly income of Rs.10, 000/- and below.

 Lower Middle, with monthly income between Rs.10,000-Rs.25,000/-

 Middle, with monthly income between Rs.25,000/- - Rs.50,000/-

 Upper Middle, with monthly income between Rs.50,001 to Rs.1,00,000/-

 High, with monthly income more than Rs.1,00,000/-

Customers in the higher income groups could generally utilize the maximum
product and services provide by the bank. And in the upper Middle income

45
group customer utilized the services and product in the same proportion of
higher incomer group of customers. And in the middle income and Lower
Middle incomer group customer utilized the services and product from the bank
comparatively less then the upper middle and higher income group customers.
Because high and upper income group customers expected to have larger
savings available for investment, which they invest in a variety of instruments
provided by the bank.

Sample Size and characteristics

Thus, a total of 20 sample customers were selected from each sample, for
canvassing the customer questionnaire. In all 50 customers were selected and a
detailed information was collected from these selected customers through a pre-
tested questionnaire

FINDING

54
The survey findings are follows:-

 Debit cards have become very popular in India. But, as of date,


ATM/Debit cards have still their primary usage for cash withdrawal from
the ATM machines.

 While credit cards are more popular in making payments online. There is
a growing awareness regarding RTGS amongst Indians but still around
73% of the respondents surveyed have never used RTGS.

 Fund transfer and Online bill payment emerged as the most popular
payment options in internet banking, with over 60% of the respondents
using this method.

 Interestingly, many customers have been unable to use internet banking


due to the non availability of site or connectivity problems. Moreover, a
trust in the security of internet banking is yet to develop amongst the
majority of bank customers.

 As far as mobile banking is concerned, its popularity is limited mainly


due to the charges for sending SMS's are not justified. Despite the
available payment options, how well customers are able to use them is
still a question. The key differentiator in future will be how banks can
increase usage of these payment options by the end user. Competitive
analysis of Indian retail sector vis-à-vis global retail industry.

57
CHAPTER - 8
LIMITATION

58
From this report provides an insight into ATM users’ perceptions, requirements
and problems Report will help banks and vendors in making ATM transactions
user friendly and satisfying.

 The findings of the survey were rather surprising – from more people
accepting the norms of depositing cash / cheques in these ATMs to
waiting in long queues and finding no money left in the machine.

 As many banks encourage the use of ATMs to their clients, ATMs have
today become indispensable tools for majority of banking transactions.
But, the drawbacks still seem to outweigh the benefits.

 The trends have changed with people visiting more frequently to these
machines than monthly and having started using value-added services
like bill-payment and mobile top-ups among others.

 Also highlights minor issues generally overlooked by banks – like non


availability of deposit envelopes and not being able to print receipts after
a transaction.

59
 Customer tendency to borrow more and repay less may adversely affect
the NPA levels in future.

 Future delinquency rates are not properly factored in fixing the Retail
credit pricing by few banks

 Increased risk weight of Consumer Credit

 Liquidity mismatches may emerge as an issue

 Slight change in economic scenario may affect the whole system

 Existing Retail scoring models may not predict impact of mild recession

 Growing incidents of frauds and cyber crimes

EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIION FROM
THE STUDY

61
Conclusion:-

The banking industry has a very important role to play in the common man’s
life. The middle class in India is big in number and ever growing. Therefore, in
order to satisfy the requirements of this growing middle class, banks have to
offer the best of financial products and services, and that too at an attractive
cost. Doing this project was a great experience and in the deal I learnt quite a bit
about the banking sector, specially the retail segment. In finding out more about
this sector, I have collected invaluable information about the banking industry.
What I have tried to do here is to gain an understanding of banks, particularly
focusing my attention on the retail segment, which is such an important part of
each one’s life today.

As a very famous saying goes “Degrees Can Be Put On Display, But


Knowledge Can’t”, what I have presented here is just a project but what I have
earned in the meanwhile is something which is much more precious that
anything in this world i.e. knowledge. So doing this project has definitely added
to my knowledge.
