1.1 Introduction
Over the last few decades the role of loan sector has undergone a paradigm shift. It is
widely recognized as an important aspect of the source of loan for the people and considered
it as a short and long-term investment.
After zeroing down on my research area, I have collected information through only
primary. I had a constant discussion with consumer.
The objective of this report is to study “Customer Perception and Attitude towards home
loan”. For this survey was conducted through structured Questionnaire.
In today’s competitive business world every customer is significant for the lending
home loan. The customer expectations are very high so it should be kept in mind and offer
them best possible service.
The report deal with the conceptual background of home loan and over view of the
banks, the next part deals with research design of the study that is problem identification,
objectives and how the research was carried out. The outcome of the study shows that the
level of customer awareness towards Home Loan is good with the benefits and service what
they are giving and most of the people wants to go for investments.
Banks can start some good promotional activities to build its brand and to make
recognition by all the peoples in the market .The effective marketing channel with the
personal selling is an essential factor in influencing banks growth.

Need for the study:
Assets are insured; because they are likely to be destroyed through accidental occurrences
such possible occurrences are called perils. Fire floods breakdowns, lighting, and earth
quakes etc. If such perils can cause damage to the asset the asset is exposed to that risk.
13. The risk only means that there is a possibility of loss or damage. The damage may or may not
happen. Insurance is done against the contingency that it may happen. There has to be an
uncertainty about the risk. Insurance is relevant only if there are uncertain. In the case of a
person who is terminally ill the time of death is not uncertain though not exactly known.
Insurance does not protect the asset. It does not prevent its loss due to the peril .The peril can
sometimes be avoided, through better safety and damage control management. Insurance only
tries to reduce the impact of the risk on the owner of the asset and those who depend on that
asset.
It only compensates the loose and that too, not fully. Only economic consequences can be
insured. If the loss is not financial insurance may not be possible.

Jovanovich (1990) in their study analyzed the role that financial institutions play in collecting

The ICFAI Journal of Service Marketing Dec’2004 “It is important to note that whatever
financial products are put in the market, it can only be successful if customer has a need for
it. Thus the need to study customer behavior becomes paramount. This flows naturally from
the marketing concept that emphasis the idea of looking at the product from the consumer’s
point of view,”

The RESEARCH MARKETING, By McGauran L.L. gives more stress on the various
categories of information that should be collected for carrying out the preliminary
investigation for the various research studies. The author McGauran L.L. gives importance to
six categories of information that re to be used for preliminary investigation namely .
1) the product
2) the company, industry and competition
3) the market
4) the channel of distribution
5) the sales
6) the sales promotion policies.
Further this book also stresses on the pilot survey that should be conducted before starting the
original survey. Hence taking all this into account, a preliminary questionnaire was drafted
and it was tested among five customers. The flows found in the questionnaire were later
rectified after consulting few experts too in this field and finally the original questionnaire
was drafted.

3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
The formidable problem that follows the task of defining the research problem is the preparation
of the design of the research project, popularly known as “Research Design”. Research design is
a plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived to obtain answers to research questions
and to control variance.
A research design can be defined as “Arrangement of condition for collection and analysis of
data in the manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in
procedure.” It consists of the blue print for the collection measurement and analysis of data. The
research used here is descriptive research
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
The researcher is interested in knowing the proportion of people in a given population who has
behaved in a particular manner, making projections of certain thing and determining the
relationship between two or more variables in some areas. As the set up has been well structured
and is a rigid one, which could not be changed by giving sufficient thought in frail-ling question,
deciding type of data to be collected and procedure that has been used gives the, proof of using
description research. In descriptive research also there has been use of cross sectional studies
just because the researcher has taken only a sample of elements from the given population. In the
cross sectional study the survey research has been selected, as a detailed study has to be obtained
from a sample of large population.
3.2 DATA COLLECTION METHOD
The data that is used in study in collected by two methods.
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data
Primary Data
The primary data does not exist already in records and publications. The researcher has to gather
primary data a fresh for a specific survey. The primary data can be gathered by way of
observation method where the research mix with the people concerned with the use of particular
product and not important clauses by observing the respondents. The second method of
collection of primary data is by way of experimentation method where some variables are
allowed to vary under a controlled environment and its cause and effect relationship is studied.
The third method of collection of data is by way of conducting a survey. This method is used for
21. B.K SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT| BKSBM2015-17 Page 13
collection of primary data. The primary data was collected from customers in India city. For this
research study, data was collected from various account holders of the CitiFinancial. Data
collection was carried out using personal interview method guided by questionnaire as follows:
Open-ended questions
Closed ended questions
Dichotomous questions
Multiple-choice questions
Ranking questions
Rating questions
SECONDARY DATA
It is needed for conducting this research work collected from the various business magazines,
bank brouchers, statistical and management book, market research books etc. which are
presented in the literature various in details
SAMPLING DESIGN
The precision and accuracy of survey results are affected by the manner in which the sample has
been chosen. The first thing for a sample plan is definition of the population to be investigated.
Defining the population is often one of the most difficult things to do in sampling. Although
ideal conditions might indicate threat the census would be preferable, such ideal conditions
rarely exist in the real world. A census is not feasible practically, therefore sample is used.
Two of major advantages of using a sample rather than a census are speed and timeliness. A
survey based on sample takes much less time to compete than based on census. In this particular
research study sample survey is done. Sample design is the most important heart of sample
planning. Sample design includes type of sample to use and the appropriate sampling unit.
3.3 Measurement and Scaling
Likert scale has been used in this study to acquire the degree of agreement and disagreement
from the respondent about a particular category of decision that he makes while seeking loan.
This scale has been calibrated on the range of 1 to 5 where 1 indicates strong agreeability and 5
denotes strong disagreeability with a certain category of decision.
22. B.K SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT| BKSBM2015-17 Page 14
Entire questionnaire of 25 questions uses the same scale to acquire data. And 17 question’s are
from Likert scale The advantage of using Likert scale in this study is that it is very easy to
construct and administer. Another important advantage is the convenience for respondents to
understand the procedure to respond to the questions. Likert scale has a drawback that each
question is formed by 1 or 2 sentences. But in this study the customers won’t mind listening
these 1 - 2 sentences to rate a category of decision which expresses their agreeability or
disagreeability for an issue while seeking loan.
Quantitative Methods
A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to
the techniques or procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting item for the sample.
Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to be included in sample.

FINDINGS & SUGGESTIONS
Among the various loans offered the research found that most of the customer availed home
loan whereas the takers for Mortgages and Housing loan are relatively less i.e. 58.33 percentages
have availed home loan. 75 percentages are auto loan and 16 percentages are of consumer
durable loan respectively. 4 percentages are of personal loan and 16 percentages are of mortgages
respectively. Hence it is recommended for the company to aggressively advertise these loan
facilities in both newspapers and television channels so that many people may be aware of the
same.
a. From the market research study it has been observed that 90% of the respondents
are aware of home loan
b. 62% of the respondents are aware of home loan through agent

very good

percent response with go with private bank. And around 19 response go with
NBFC.

Private bank.

47. B.K SCHOOL OF BUSINESS MANAGEMENT| BKSBM2015-17 Page 39
SUGGESTIONS
The home loan company should concentrate heavily on attractive advertisements and
various Promotional Strategies like, giving Pamphlets, put the hoardings and banners at
important locations
In Loan documentations procedure is very lengthy, and most of financial service
providers use traditional technique, so they have to use online documentation technology
Most of the customers are satisfied with sanctioning loan time but financial service
providers reduce sanctioning time
People should be educated by giving seminar in Business Conferences, installing stalls in
Business Exhibitions. And Company should conduct seminars in Educational Institutions
to provide information about company and its products
Company has to create a sense of security among the customers. Because most of the
people fear about security

CONCLUSIONS

maximum extent possible.
An in-depth study has been made on the aspect that influences the banks to be the best private
