1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO BANKING IN NEPAL
Nepal bank Ltd. is the first modern bank of Nepal. It is taken as the milestone of modern
banking of the country. Nepal bank marks the beginning of a new era in the history of the
modern banking in Nepal. This was established in 1937 A.D. Nepal Bank has been
inaugurated by King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev on 30th Kartik 1994 B.S. Nepal
bank was established as a semi government bank with the authorized capital of Rs.10
million and the paid -up capital of Rs. 892 thousand. Until mid-1940s, only metallic coins
were used as medium of exchange. So the Nepal Government (His Majesty Government
on that time) felt the need of separate institution or body to issue national currencies and
promote financial organization in the country.
Nepal Bank Ltd. remained the only financial institution of the country until the
foundation of Nepal Rastra Bank is 1956 A.D. Due to the absence of the central bank,
Nepal Bank has to play the role of central bank and operate the function of central bank.
Hence, the Nepal Rastra Bank Act 1955 was formulated, which was approved by Nepal
Government accordingly, the Nepal Rastra Bank was established in 1956 A.D. as the
central bank of Nepal. Nepal Rastra Bank makes various guidelines for the banking sector
of the country.
A sound banking system is important for smooth development of banking system. It can
play a key role in the economy. It gathers savings from all over the country and provides
liquidity for industry and trade. In 1957 A.D. Industrial Development Bank was
established to promote the industrialization in Nepal, which was later converted into
Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC) in 1959 A.D.
Rastrya Banijya Bank was established in 1965 A.D. as the second commercial bank of
Nepal. The financial shapes for these two commercial banks have a tremendous impact on
the economy. That is the reason why these banks still exist in spite of their bad position.
As the agriculture is the basic occupation of major Nepalese, the development of this
sector plays in the prime role in the economy. So, separate Agricultural Development
Bank was established in 1968 A.D. This is the first institution in agricultural financing.

8. 8
For more than two decades, no more banks have been established in the country. After
declaring free economy and privatization policy, the government of Nepal encouraged the
foreign banks for joint venture in Nepal.
Today, the banking sector is more liberalized and modernized and systematic managed.
There are various types of bank working in modern banking system in Nepal. It includes
central, development, commercial, financial, co-operative and Micro Credit (Grameen)
banks. Technology is changing day by day. And changed technology affects the
traditional method of the service of bank.
Banking software, ATM, E-banking, Mobile Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card, Prepaid
Card etc. services are available in banking system in Nepal. It helps both customer and
banks to operate and conduct activities more efficiently and effectively.
For the development of banking system in Nepal, NRB refresh and change in financial
sector policies, regulations and institutional developments in 1980 A.D. Government
emphasized the role of the private sector for the investment in the financial sector. These
policies opened the doors for foreigners to enter into banking sector in Nepal under joint
venture.
Some foreign ventures are also established in Nepal such as Nepal Bangladesh Bank,
Standard Chartered Bank, Nepal Arab Bank, State Bank of India, ICICI Bank, Everest
Bank, Himalayan Bank, Bank of Kathmandu, Nepal Indo-Suez Bank and Nepal Sri Lanka
Merchant Bank etc.
The NRB will classify the institutions into “A” “B” “C” “D” groups on the basis of the
minimum paid-up capital and provide the suitable license to the bank or financial
institution. Group ‘A’ is for commercial bank, ‘B’ for the development bank, ‘C’ for the
financial institution and ‘D’ for the Micro Finance Development Banks.
Generally banks in Nepal are opened 9 am to 3 pm Sunday to Thursday and 9 am to 1 am
on Friday. But nowadays most of banks in Kathmandu are opened throughout the week.
There are 32 commercial banks, 79 development banks, 79 financial companies, 18 micro
credit (Grameen) development banks and 16 saving and credit co-operation(licensed by
Nepal Rastra Bank) are established so far in Nepal. The bank with the largest network in

9. 9
Nepal is The Nepal Bank Ltd. These commercial banks and financial institutions have
played significant roles in creating banking habit among the people, widening area and
business communities and the government in various ways.
Today’s finicky banking customers will settle for nothing less. The customer has come to
realize somewhat belatedly that he is the king. The customer’s choice of one entity over
another as his principles bank is determined by considerations of service quality rather
than any other factor. He wants competitive loan rates but at the same time also wants his
loan or credit card application processed in double quick time. He insists that he be
promptly informed of changes in deposits rates and service charges and he bristles with
customary rage if his bank is slow to redress any grievance he may have. He cherishes
the convenience of impersonal net banking but during his occasional visits to the branch
he also wants the comfort of personalized human interactions and facilities that make his
banking experience pleasurable. In short he wants a bank that cares and provides great
services.
So does NCC bank meet these heightened expectations? What are the customer’s
perceptions of service quality of the banks? Which dimension of service quality of NCC
bank is performing well? To find out answers to these questions I undertook a survey of 2
branches of NCC bank.
Excel Development Bank Limited (EDBL) 9thAGM held on Poush 26, 2071 had
approved 4:1.0370(25.93%) right shares to their shareholders and now the bank has
announced the book closure date for the same.
The book closure date for 4:1.03 right issues has been set for Poush 28. Only the shares
registered one day ahead of the book closure date i.e. Poush 27 will be eligible for the
right shares.
Excel had earned net profit of Rs 1.73 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year
2072/73. Ace Capital Limited has been assigned as the issue manager. Its last traded price
stood at Rs 690 as on December 31, 2015. ICRA Nepal has assigned an “[ICRANP] IPO
Grade 4+”, indicating below-average fundamentals to the proposed rights issue.

10. 10
Financial Institutions are slowly moving from Brick and Mortar (Physical branches) to
click and Brick (E-banking). ATM's are the most popular electronic delivery channel for
banking services in Nepal. Only few customers are using internet banking facilities.
Nepalese financial institutions till date have not faced any kind of electronic fraud or risk.
Banks have basic security tools like firewall, lightening/power surge protection. But it is
found that the some banks are in lack of having regular back up of website information
and E-banking policy. Nepalese banks are using E-banking for their own convenience and
for the purpose of retaining exiting customers. The cost analysis of most of the banks in
Nepal is seems to be either inadequate or not applied due to their narrow space of
business transaction or lack of sufficient tools. No significant correlation was found
between use of E-banking and gender, marital status or salary of customer. However, Use
of E-banking signification association was found with age and education.
A lot of surveys have been done in the past to understand the aspect of customer
satisfaction and to find out the friendly banks. My research is conducted to find our
“SERVICE QUALITY OF NNC BANK”.

1.3 INTRODUCTION TO SERVICE QUALITY OF NCC
BANK LTD.
In the days of intense competition, the banks are no different from any other customer
marketing company. It has become essential for the service firms in general and bank in
particular to identify what the customer’s requirements are and how those customer
requirements can be met effectively. In the days where product and price differences are
blurred, superior service by the service provider is the only differentiator left before the
banks to attract , retain and partner with the customers. Superior service quality enables a
firm to differentiate itself from its competition, gain a sustainable competitive advantage,
and enhance efficiency. The benefits of service quality include increased customer
satisfaction, improved customer retention, positive word of mouth, reduced staff turnover,
decreased operating costs, enlarged market share, increased profitability, and improved
financial performance. The construct of service quality has therefore been a subject of
great interest to service marketing researchers.
Twenty first century has spread a technological revolutionary wave in India. With
upcoming wireless communication technologies people are becoming more & more
mobile addict. The booming revolution in Information Technology sector has pushed the
India’s telecom market significantly. Since past few years consumers prefer wireless
mode of telephone services to wire line services. Mobility has become an integral part of
customer’s life. India has shown tremendous growth in past few years in terms of cellular
services. As per the survey report conducted by Voice & Data by the end of Feb 2008 the
mobile subscribers number has reached to 246.6 mn compared to wire line services,
which is only 40 mn. in numbers1. Invention of Cell phones is a major improvement over
the telecommunications technology of the past, and it has now become an essential
commodity in today’s busy life. Cell phones have become the necessity in today’s
competitive environment to meet the emerging global economy. This research study
focuses on the service quality of cellular mobile services in Pune & Pimpri-Chinchwad
area.
Service quality has been defined by various experts in various ways as: ‘Service Quality
is the difference between customers’ expectations for service performance prior to the
service encounter and their perceptions of the service received.’ According to Geffen,

31. 31
“Service quality is the subjective comparison that customers make between the qualities
of service that they want to receive and what they actually get.” Parasuraman says , “
Service Quality is determined by the differences between customer’s expectations of
services provider’s performance and their evaluation of the services they received.”
Service quality is the delivery of excellent or superior service relative to customer
expectations. Service quality is recognized as a multidimensional construct. While the
number of dimensions often varies from researcher to researcher, there is some consensus
that service quality consists of three primary aspects: outcome quality, interaction quality,
and physical service environment quality. Outcome quality refers to the customer’s
assessment of the core service which is the prime motivating factor for obtaining the
services (e.g. money received from ATM). Interaction quality refers to the customer’s
assessment of the service delivery process, which is typically rendered via a physical
interface between the service provider, in person, or via technical equipment, and the
customer . It includes for instance the consumer’s evaluation of the attitude of the service
providing staff. The physical service environment quality dimension refers to the
consumer’s evaluation of any tangible aspect associate with the facilities or equipment
that service is provided in/with. It includes for example the physical conditions of an
ATM machines.
The most popular dimensions of service quality – features five dimensions are as under:
 Tangibles
 Reliability
 Responsiveness
 Empathy
 Assurance
The tangibles dimension corresponds to the service outcomes aspect, and the remaining
three represent aspects of interaction quality. Both the costs and the revenue of firms are
affected by repeat purchases, positive word-of –mouth recommendation, and customer
feedback. Moreover, there is strong evidence that service quality has either direct
influences on the behavioral intentions of customer and/or an indirect influence on such
intentions, mediated through customer satisfaction.

32. 32
RATER is an instrument that might be used to define and measure banking service
quality and to create useful quality assessment tools.
The RATER may finally provide the following benefits to the NCC Bank:
1. It is the first approach to add and mix the customers “religious beliefs and
cultural values with other quality dimensions.”
2. It provides for multi-faced analysis of customer satisfaction.
3. It links quality with customers “satisfaction and service encounter.
4. It provides information at several levels, already organized into meaningful
groupings.
5. It is a proven approach, which results in usable answers to meet customers’
needs.
6. It is empirically grounded, systematic and well documented.
Banks managers can use the RATER model and its dimensions first to identify
the following issues:

33. 33
TANGIBILITY:
This dimension deal with modern looking equipment’s and visual appealing parts of
banks.
RELIABILITY:
This dimension has a direct positive effect on perceived service quality and customer
satisfaction in banking institutions. Banks must provide error free service and secure
online transactions to make customers feel comfortable.
RESPONSIVENESS
RELIABILITY
ASSURANCEEMPATHY
TANGIBILITY

34. 34
RESPONSIVENESS:
Customers expect that the banks must respond their inquiry promptly. Responsiveness
describes how often a bank voluntarily provides services that are important to its
customers. Researchers examining the responsiveness of banking services have highlight
the importance of perceived service quality and customer satisfaction.
ASSURANCE:
Customer expects that the bank must be secured and the behavior of the employees must
be encouraging.
EMPATHY:
Individual attention, customized service and convenient banking hours are very much
important in today’s service.
In order to achieve better understanding of service quality in banking sector, the
proposed five service quality dimensions are conceptualized to illustrate the overall
service quality of the banking in relation to customers’ and provides perspective.
Banking was in the sector featuring medium goods and higher customer producer
interactions, since in banking, consumers and service providers interact personally and
the use of goods is at medium level. Hence, in banking, where there are high customer-
producer interactions, the quality of service is determined to a large extent by the skills
and attitudes of people producing the service.
In the case of services, because customers are often either direct observers of the
production process or active participants, how the process is performed also has a strong
influence on the overall impression of the quality of service. A well performed service
encounter may even overcome the negative impression caused by poor technical quality
as well as generate positive word-of –mouth, particularly if customers can see that
employees have worked very hard to satisfy them in the face of problems outside their
control. Employees are part of the process, which connects with the customer at the point
of sale, and hence employees remain the key to success at these service encounters or
“moments of truth”. It is these encounters with customers during a service that are the
most important of overall customer satisfaction, and a customer’s experience with the
service will be defined by the brief experience with the firm’s personnel and the firm’s

35. 35
system. The rudeness of the bank’s customer service representative, the abruptness of
employees at the teller counter, or the lack of interest of the person at the check deposit
counter can alter one’s overall attitude towards the service, perhaps even reversing the
impression caused by high technical quality.
Another important service quality factor, competence, is defined by whether the bank
performs the service right the first time, whether the employees of the bank tell customers
exactly when services will be performed, whether the bank lives up to its promises,
whether customers feel safe in their transactions with the bank and whether employees
show a sincere interest in solving the customers” problems. In short, this dimension is
related to the banks “ability to perform the promised service accurately and dependably.
Performing the service dependably and accurately is the heart of service marketing
excellence. When a company performs a service carelessly, when it makes avoidable
mistakes, and when it fails to deliver on promises made to attract customers, it shakes
customers “confidence in its capabilities and undermines its chances of earning a
reputation for service excellence.
It is very important to do the service right the first time. In case a service problem does
crop up, by resolving the problem the customer’s satisfaction, the company can
significantly improve customer retention. However, companies fare best when they
prevent service problems altogether and fare worst when service problems occur and the
company either ignores them or does not resolve them to the customer’s satisfaction.
Performing the service accurately is perhaps the most important factor in service quality
excellence. The cost of performing the service inaccurately includes not only the cost of
redoing the service but also the cost associated with negative word-of –mouth generated
by displeased customers. In case of services, the factory is the field. Again, services are
intangible and hence the criteria for flawless services are more subjective than the criteria
for defect-free tangible goods. Hence for most services, customer’s perceptions of
whether the service has been performed correctly, and not provider- established criteria,
are the major determinants of reliability.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The present study is accordingly, devoted to a detailed probe into the retail banking in
Nepal. It also focuses to make a comparative study, on the basis of quality dimensions,
between public sector banks and private sector banks. The study has get its scope to
evaluate the nature, prospects and challenges as well as organization and working of retail
banking in India. Before embarking upon the actual conduct of the study, a survey of
available and pertinent published work on the subject of this study is made in order to
have an insight into the depth of retail banking and also the specific aspects covered in the
work. The Review of Literature presented below recounts the work so far done in the
field of present study, the nature of the work, the aspects dealt with as well as brief
outcome emerging from the studies.
1.Bayel & Janalgie (1994) had set their goals of services quality dimensions in Retail
Banking. First the study investigates & identifies the services quality dimensions
pertaining to financial services. Secondly, it examines the relationship between perception
accorded to these dimensions & the overall attitude towards the banking. Thirdly, it
examines the important discrimination in service quality factors among the different
group of banks by paired comparison.
2.Rober Johnston (1997) in his study entitled as, “Identifying the critical determinants of
service quality in retail banking: importance and effects”, focused on the categories of the
quality factors in terms of their relative importance and their effect on satisfaction and
dissatisfaction. The study is based on an analysis of over 200 customers in the UK
banking industry and 100 interviewers. The study suggests that increasing the speed of
processing information, delighting customers, such as improving the reliability of
equipment, will lessen dissatisfaction rather than delight customer.
3.Frances X. Frei (1999) in the article entitled as, “Process variants as a Determinant of
Bank Performance: Evidence from the retail banking study” explains the relation between
retail banks branch based processes and financial performance. There are 11 processes
included in this study which are present the bulk of activities performed in a typical retail
branch (ego opening checking accounts). The findings of this study are that the financial
performances of banks that perform better across these processes tend to be better than
that of other banks.

37. 37
4.Applied Communicating Inc. (ACI) ( 2003) in the study entitled as , “Retail Banks
Require Enhanced System as the Industry Changes” explores the challenges that retail
banks must overcome with innovative IT systems. In today’s fast paced technological
age, consumer and corporate customers expect faster execution of transaction. The
challenge for the bank IT groups is to ensure how their system can cope with the
voluminous transaction without increase in per transaction processing cost. The article
discussed managing electronic funds, prepaid by mobile banking technologies & ATM.
5.Temu Santonen (2004) in the article entitled as, “Price Sensitivity as an Indicator of
Customer Defection in Retail Banking” analysis different dimensions of perceived service
loyalty, including price stability, and explains the customer defection in retail banking in
Finland. The study find out that the growth of the body of knowledge regarding customer
loyalty & price strategies in retail banking is vital since price competition is becoming
increasingly wide spread. The study also implied that in retail banks with a greater than
average about of price sensitivity customers will lose most in a scenario of aggressive
price offers; loyal customers are receptive to tempting marketing information. The
willingness to acquire information is strongly related to customer defection and banks
should prepare solid counter attacks, when substantially lower price based rivals enters
into the markets.
6.Sudhir (2005) in his study entitled as, “Growth Pattern of Retail Banking” emphasizes
that existing potential of Retail Banking was untapped in rural and semi- rural areas and
that untapped clientele provided a good and vast opportunity for growth in this segment.
7.Prssanta Kumar Padhy (2006) in his study entitled as, “Innovative Service Quality in
the Banking Sector: As Assessment Based On SERVQUAL Measures” focused on the
critical factors to determine service quality in the banking sector by using both traditional
and modifying SERVQUAL measures which could be used as a basis for bankers and
researchers in differentiating the good and poor quality of services offered by banks.
8.S. Venkata Seshaiah & Vunyale Narender (2007) in their study entitled as, “ Factors
Affecting Customer’s Choice of Retail Banking” , have identified various factors
affecting customer’s choice and study consumer behavior with respect to the people’s
choice of retail banks. In this study efforts have been made to go deep into the
psychology of the customer’s loyalty. Through a survey is different factors have been
identified (1) Safety of deposits (2) Size and Strength

38. 38
(3) Accuracy (4) General Survey (5)Speed of delivery (6)Proximity (7) Security of
Environment (8)Cordiality of staff (9) Price & services charges (10) Product Packaging
(11) General Public Impression (12) Peer Group Impression (13) Face Lift Structural (14)
Friendship with Staff (15) Advertising & Publicity. The findings showed that retail
banking must reorganize their activities to achieve their corporate mission through
customer orientation.
9.Smith Ramachandran (2008) in this paper entitled as, “ Customer Management in
Retail Banking: An Overview” studies the concept of retail banking and it is becoming
customer –driven. The study focused on the role of Information Technology in the growth
and future of Retail Banking. The issues and operational challenges like customer
satisfaction and retention, customer acquisition, competitive pressure to deliver the new
product & services rapidly to market are highlighted. The study is discussed the
importance of and the growing need for Customer Retention Management.
10.R.K. Uppal (2009)in the study entitled as , “Customer Service in Indian Commercial
Banks : An empirical study” describes that in the emerging competitive environment and
IT era ,with little or no distinction in the product offering , it is the speed of enduring
service that sets apart one bank from another . Prompt service is equated with quality
service .Time is a major factor which affects the quality service and that is why they ate
becoming more popular.
11.H.Emari & S. Iranzadeh (2010) in the study entitled as, “Determining the Dimension
of Service Quality in Banking Industry: Examining the Gronroos’s Model in Iran”, was
to determine the dimensions of service quality in the banking industry of Iran. The study
empirically examines the European perspective (i.e.Gronroo’s Model) suggesting that
service quality consists of three dimensions, technical, functional and image. This
research is an applied research and the results of the study showed that in case of a
banking service the overall service quality is influenced more by a consumer’s perception
of the technical quality than functional quality.
12.H.Emari etal (2011)- The main objective of this research was to determine the
dimensions of service quality in the banking industry of Iran. For this the study
empirically examined the European perspective (i.e., Gronroos’s model) suggesting that
service quality consists of three dimensions, technical, functional and image. The results

39. 39
from a banking service sample revealed that the overall service quality is identified more
by a consumer’s perception of technical quality than functional quality
13.Kailash M (2012)- The paper compares public and private sector banks in Vijayawada
city using SERVQUAL model. The findings revealed that private sector banks have good
services to customers and they retained customers by providing better facilities. The study
finds out importance of new products and services for banks for retaining customers.

3.3 DATA COLLECTION
Primary Data :
The primary data was collected by means of a survey. Questionnaires were prepared and
customers of the bank at two branches were approached to fill up the questionnaires. The
questionnaires contain 15 questions which reflect on the type and quality of services
provided by the bank to the customers. The response of the customer and is recorded on a

41. 41
grand scale of strongly disagree, disagree, uncertain, agree and strongly agree for each
question. The filled up information was later analyzed to obtain the required
interpretation and the findings.
Secondary Data:
In order to have a proper understanding of the service quality of bank a depth study was
dome from the various sources such as books, a lot of data is also collected from the
official websites of the banks and the articles from various search engines like Google,
Yahoo search and answers.com.
3.4 IMPORTANCE OF STUDY
 The study would try to throw some insights into the existing services provided by
the banks, perceptions and the actual service quality of the bank.

42. 42
3.6 RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design is exploratory till identification of service quality parameters. Later it
becomes descriptive when it comes to evaluating customer perception of service quality
of the banks.
Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and
characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive research
answers the questions who, what, where, when and how.
Although the data description is factual, accurate and systematic, the research cannot
describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research cannot be used to create a
causal relationship, where one variable affects another. In other words, descriptive
research can be said to have a low requirement for internal validity.
The description is used for frequencies, averages and other statistical calculations. Often
the best approach, prior to writing descriptive research, is to conduct a survey
investigation. Qualitative research often has the aim of description and researchers may
follow-up with examinations of why the observations exist and what the implications of
the findings are
RESEARCH SAMPLE
SAMPLING PLAN:
Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessary to take sample from
the universe to know about its characteristics.
 Sampling Units: Customers of NCC Bank
 Sample Technique: Random Sampling
 Research Instrument: Structured Questionnaire
 Contact Method: Personal Interview
SAMPLE SIZE:
The work is a case of NCC Bank, one of the best banks of Nepalese banking industry
together representing over 10 per cent of the market share of Nepalese banking space.

43. 43
The survey was conducted in the city of Janakpur with two branches of NCC Bank, with
5 customers as respondent.
DATA COLLECTION TOOL
1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither agree nor disagree
4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
Liker scaling is a bipolar scaling method, measuring either positive or negative response
to a statement. The questionnaire consists of two parts. The first part consists of three
questions concerning the demographic information of the respondent such as the name,
age, educational qualifications and income. The second part consisting of 12 questions
exploring the respondent’s perception about the service quality of NCC Bank. For
evaluation of service quality of NCC Bank service quality dimension of reliability,
tangibility, empathy, assurance and responsiveness is used in order to evaluate the actual
service quality of NCC Bank.
3.7 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The limitations of the strategy are as follows:
 The study is only for the NCC Bank confined to a particular location and very
small sample of respondents. Hence the findings cannot be treated as
representative of the entire banking industry
 The study can also not be generalized for public and private sector banks of the
country
 Respondents may bias answers for the required data. Some of the respondents did
not like to respond
 Respondents tried to escape some statements by simply answering “neither agree
nor disagree” to most of the statements. This was one of the most important
limitations faced, as it was difficult to analyses and come at a right conclusion.
 In our study we have included 50 customers of the bank because of time limit.

5. FINDINGS & SUGGESTIONS
5.1FINDINGS
 The Reliability dimension of service quality is better as compared to empathy and
tangibility. Still the score is low. For most services, customer’s perceptions of
whether the service has been performed correctly, and not provider-established
criteria, are the major determinants of reliability.
 Customer of the bank hesitates to rely on the bank. Whenever they have a
problem, the bank shows sincere interest in solving it but the services are not
performed by a certain time as promised. The employees should take this problem
seriously and take steps to remove this.
 As score for Assurance is at second place after responsiveness, so the customers
of NCC Bank are very confident and feel safe while transacting with the bank.
Moreover the employees of the bank have proved to be trustworthy. Employees
are also educated enough to answer all the questions,
 The score of Tangibility dimension of service quality of NCC Bank is the lowest.
The service quality factor tangible is defined by whether the physical facilities and
materials associated with the services are visually appealing at the bank.
 Customer expectations regarding visual appealing of NCC Bank is very high.
From my study I found the physical facilities and modern looking equipments are
not sufficient in NCC Bank. Respondents were uncertain about the neat
appearance of the reception desk employees. So they should work on the and try
to fulfill the gap.
 According to my findings, the score of Empathy is not satisfactory but not
unsatisfactory also. NCC Bank is unable to give individual attention to its
customers and is unable to understand specific needs of its customers.
 In NCC Bank, the score of Responsiveness is highest so they are focusing on
prompt service, employees are willing to help the customers and say the exact
when the services will be performed.
 Employees at bank give their customers first preference and are always ready to
help them. Overall NCC Bank’s responsiveness dimension of service quality is the
highest.

60. 60
 According to the customer perception, NCC Bank is highly responsive. Customers
are assured while transacting with the bank. The reliability dimension is lower
than the first to dimension. They feel that the bank is unable to give them
individual attention and its equipment’s are not modern and sufficient for the
bank.
 There is not much gap between all the dimensions, this shows that NCC Bank is a
better service provider in all the dimensions i.e. reliability, assurance, tangibility,
responsiveness and empathy. As a result of which, the customers are satisfied with
the service offered by NCC Bank.

61. 61
5.2 SUGGESTIONS
 Reliability is an obvious place to start. Customers of the bank want to know their
resources are safe and within trustworthy institutions.
 Responsiveness, again when associated with a well- trained staff and timely
answer to service-related questions, would make significant inroads into causing
NCC Ban be regarded as responsiveness. Staff should be encouraged to present
relevant options to banking customers in a manner that does not resemble
salesmanship so much as a desire to serve.
 Intangibles please customers just as much as tangibles in the banking industry.
People tend to visit the same branch of a bank over and over again.
 Learning to understand customer’s needs will allow bank associates to offer
enhanced services, perhaps lowering customers banking costs and increasing their
investment potential. This could also open up the possibility of increased profits
for banks, for when perceived as more service and customer oriented, they will, in
become a useful and pleasant way to “Shop.”
 Keeping the bank with up-to-date technologically are important factors. Modern
equipment’s new improved technology should be replaced with the old ones. If
the staff inside is pleasant and well-informed, in an aesthetically pleasing
environment, then customer satisfaction will be high.
 The five dimensional structures could possibly serve as meaningful framework for
tracking a bank’s service quality performance over time and comparing it against
the performance of competitors. Items on some dimensions should be expanded if
that is necessary for reliability.
 Thus, the banking industries must continuously measure and improve these
dimensions in order to gain customers loyalty.

62. 62
6. CONCLUSION
Based on the study conducted it can be concluded that responsiveness, assurance and
reliability are the critical dimensions of service quality of NCC Bank and they are directly
related to overall service quality. The factors that may delight customers tend to be
concerned more with the intangible nature of the service, commitment, attentiveness,
friendliness, care and courtesy.
The employees give prompt services, always are ready to answer the questions and are
trustworthy. The main sources of dissatisfaction appear to be cleanliness, up to date
technology modern equipment’s and neatly dressed up employees. The tangibility
dimension of service quality of NCC Bank is highly disappointing and serious steps are
needed to be taken to enhance this dimension. Customer of the bank is dissatisfied with
the empathy dimension. To satisfy these customers, the management can take some
attempts, noted earlier as suggestions.
The study brings about the areas which require urgent attention of the employees, the
management, and the policy makers of the industry. These are areas in which customers
are dissatisfied with the services of the banks against their expectation. This high degree
of dissatisfaction resulting from the services received clearly questions the design of
services or subsequent response of the bank employees. These limitations are too serious
to be avoided as these question the from line people dealing with the customers and the
approach of the management in taking customers seriously.
The management should understand the benefits of service quality. It includes increased
customer satisfaction, improved customer retention, positive word of mouth, reduced staff
turnover, decreased operating costs, enlarged market share, increased profitability and
improve financial performance. In the days of intense competition, superior service is the
only differentiation left before the banks to attract, retain and partner with the customers.
Superior service quality enables a firm to differentiate itself from its competition, gain a
sustainable competitive advantage, and enhance efficiency. Thus, improving service
quality leads to the customer satisfaction and ultimately to customer loyalty.
