EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project is directed towards developing an insight into initiatives taken by HDFC for its
High Net Worth (HNW)clients and the various products designed for them. It is all about the
initiatives taken by HDFC for increasing customer satisfaction and customer delight so that
customers can enjoy the world class banking experience. The objective of the project is
analyzing customer satisfaction and gathering feedback of HDFC customers. I worked
on understanding different aspects of retail banking and different programs of HDFC for its
HNW clients. During the internship I learned different aspects of net banking and different
banking channels which includes net banking itself. I met customers of HDFC bank and
discussed about different products and value added services of the bank .
HNW clients primarily divided into different programs as follows-
IMPERIA, PREFERRED and CLASSIC.
Over All Learning is-
 1.How acquisition of new customers is done.
 2. Understanding the steps taken by the bank for enhancing the relationship by cross-
selling products and services as per the profile and need of the customers.
 3. Deepening the size of the relationship.
 4. Retention of the customers by providing the best possible services and being the
dedicated point of contact of these customers.
So basically the internship was all about Relationship Management for the imperia, preferred
and classic HDFC customers.
This relationship management helps HDFC in following ways
 HDFC bank becomes the primary bank for these Preferred Customers.
 Maximum share of wallet of these customers is with HDFC bank.

INTRODUCTION
Banking is one the main drivers of the service industry. As the service industry has boomed,
the competition faced by the banks essentially private banks, has increased. So, in order to
maintain an edge above the others, the key elements that a bank needs to focus upon is to
increase customer satisfaction and customer delight by providing different value added
services and improving quality of services it offers. These enable a bank to get a competitive
advantage over the others.
In India banking sector is one of the most regulated sector in the economy. When Indian
Government allowed private banks to operate in the nation many banks came into existence
and gave a tough competition to various nationalized players. Private banks won over most
nationalized banks because of the quality of services they offered to their customers.
Private banks are more profitable compared to most nationalized banks.
There was a time when no one used to trust private banks for the banking needs. But, the
time has changed now. Many private banks now come in the list of top 10 banks in the
country. The wreath for this healthy change goes to the hard work done by the folks over
private banks. With attractive interest rates, bonus offers, the private banks have got success
in attracting customers. The private banks are known for their friendly and speedy service.
Since service plays a vital role in the banking sector, therefore the private banks have become
the favorite of many people.

BANKING SECTOR ANALYSIS
 PEST ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY
PEST Analysis is the marketing tool which helps us in understanding macro environment
factors which affect the organisation.
PESTEL STANDS FOR
 P-Political
 E-Economic
 S-Social
 T-Technological
POLITICAL FACTORS
The Indian banking Industry is mostly dependent on the monetary policy decided by the RBI
Stricter regulations with respect to capital and liquidity directly affects the business of banks.
Banks need to adjust their interest rates accordingly, which may or may not favour them
Banks are forced to lend as per the guidelines of RBI, that includes credit growth in all
sectors Budgetary Measures announced by the government at the beginning of every financial
year also lay down guidelines to banks to lend or accept deposits The government can also
increase credit in particular sectors such as increase in farm credit, increase in infrastructure
credit etc.(priority lending) Sometimes the government gives debt waivers to certain sections
of the society that need to be adhered to by banks as well
To use a cliché, there will be a tectonic shift in the Indian banking landscape in 2014. Both
the body and the soul of the Rs.80 trillion banking industry will change. A set of new banks
will get the regulator’s approval, some foreign banks operating in India may decide in favor
of local incorporation to get near-national treatment, and new norms for early recognition of
financial distress and faster resolution and recovery will help curb rising bad assets and
improve the health of the banking system.
In 1969 the Indian government nationalised all the major banks that it did not already own
and these have remained under government ownership. They are run under a structure know
as 'profit-making public sector undertaking' (PSU) and are allowed to compete and operate as
Page 14 of 77
commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is made up of four types of banks, as well as
the PSUs and the state banks, they have been joined since the 1990s by new private
commercial banks and a number of foreign banks.
A day after the exit polls set the market on fire, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) panel report
has recommended that the government should divest its stake in state-owned banks to less
than 50%, allow private equity houses to own 40% in distressed banks, and strip managers of
private sector banks of their bonuses and Esops if they are caught ever-greening sticky
loans. It has also said that RBI — and not the finance ministry — should have the last word
on regulation of public sector banks which command 70% of the market share. "Boards (of
PSU banks) are disempowered, and the selection process for directors is increasingly
compromised," said the report. The recommendations have the potential to transform Indian
banks.
The panel has proposed an age limit of 65 years for CEOs and whole time directors of private
sector banks. Once implemented, lenders like IndusInd Bank BSE 5.24 % and HDFC Bank
BSE 2.11 % would have to identify successors for Romesh Sobti and Aditya Puri in next two
years.
While new banks and locally incorporated foreign banks will rewrite the rules of the game,
RBI’s initiative to clean up bad loans will add strength to the banking system. The
combination of bad and restructured loans is at least 10% of total banking assets in India. The
new norms will give incentives to banks to detect the first sign of a loan turning bad and take
remedial steps and, at the same time, they will make life difficult for rogue borrowers. At the
next stage, RBI will probably focus on reforming state-run banks that account for about 70%
of banking assets, but lack the skill to manage them and aren’t smart enough to say no when
it comes to taking exposure to some sectors. Overall, 2014 will be action-packed; banks
cannot ask for a more exciting time.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
Economic factors in the country also effect the Banking Industry both favorably or
unfavorably. When the economy is in good shape in terms of high per capita income, good
agriculture harvest and normal inflation, banks have an edge as people are left with more
money to deposit them with banks. This helps in more capital formation as more deposits can
Page 15 of 77
be realized. Also In the times of economic boom, more and more FDI is brought into India
through banking channels, that actually improves business for banks and the economy in
general Economic prosperity encourages lending business for the banks but in times of
recession banks face tough times to recover their money, issue fresh credit and NIMs are
lower too
Every year RBI declares its 6 monthly policies and accordingly the various measures and
rates are implemented which has an impact on the banking sector. The Economic measures
affects the banking sector to boost the economy by giving certain concessions or facilities. If
in the savings are encouraged, then more deposits will be attracted towards the banks and in
turn they can lend more money to the agricultural sector and industrial sector, therefore,
booming the economy. If the FDI limits are relaxed, then more FDI are brought in India
through banking channels
FDI POLICIES
Banking Sector Private
Percentage of Equity /FDI Capital- 74% including investment by FIIs/FPIs
Entry Route- Automatic up to 49%, Government route beyond 49% and up to 74%
Other Conditions:
(1) This 74% limit will include investment under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) by
FIIs/FPIs, NRIs and shares acquired prior to September 16, 2003 by erstwhile OCBs, and
continue to include IPOs, Private placements, GDR/ADRs and acquisition of shares from
existing shareholders.
(2) The aggregate foreign investment in a private bank from all sources will be allowed up to
a maximum of 74 per cent of the paid up capital of the Bank. At all times, at least 26 per cent
of the paid up capital will have to be held by residents, except in regard to a wholly-owned
subsidiary of a foreign bank.
(3) The stipulations as above will be applicable to all investments in existing private sector
banks also

Monetary and Liquidity Measures
On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, it has
been decided to:
 keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 8.0 per
cent;
 keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks unchanged at 4.0 per cent of net
demand and time liability (NDTL); and
 increase the liquidity provided under 7-day and 14-day term repos from 0.5 per cent of NDTL
of the banking system to 0.75 per cent, and decrease the liquidity provided under overnight
repos under the LAF from 0.5 per cent of bank-wise NDTL to 0.25 per cent with immediate
effect.
Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7.0 per cent, and
the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 9.0 per cent.
INFLATION RATE
The average Inflation Rate in 2014 is 6.89% (based on CPI-Consumer Price Index)
Elevated borrowing costs have added to manufacturers' woes after the Reserve Bank
of India (RBI) hiked interest rates three times between September and January to curb
stubborn inflation which has showed no signs of easing even as growth tumbled.
Page 17 of 77
SOCIAL FACTORS
The Indian banking system has been progressing rapidly. There are still several untapped
rural markets, despite the large number of banks in India Many farmers still take loans from
moneylenders at a very high interest rate and small-scale industries continue to remain
important for banks However changes could be expected in the near future for the
unorganized sector. The growing population of India is a great opportunity for Indian banks
as a lot of people in the country want to open a bank account and develop good savings habit.
Changing lifestyle of the Indian urban population who wants easy ways of financing to their
desires
TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
Information technology is one of the most important facilitators for the transformation of the
Indian banking industry in terms of its transactions processing as well as for various other
internal systems and processes. The various technological platforms used by banks for the
conduct of their day to day operations, their manner of reporting and the way in which
interbank transactions and clearing is affected has evolved substantially over the years.
The technological evolution of the Indian banking industry has been largely directed by the
various committees set up by the RBI and the government of India to review the
implementation of technological change. No major breakthrough in technology
implementation was achieved by the industry till the early 80s, though some working groups
and committees made stray references to the need for mechanization of some banking
processes. This was largely due to the stiff resistance by the very strong bank employees
unions. The early 1980s were instrumental in the introduction of mechanization and
computerization in Indian banks. This was the period when banks as well as the RBI went
very slow on mechanization, carefully avoiding the use of ‘computers’ to avoid resistance
from employee unions. However, this was the critical period acting as the icebreaker, which
led to the slow and steady move towards large scale technology adoption
Banks have changed in their operations and moved towards universal banking along with the
increased usage of technology and technology-based services offering alternate channels such
as smart cards, ATMs, usage of the internet, mobile and social banking. Banks have started
deploying core banking, human resource management (HRM) and enterprise risk (ERP)
management and process re-engineering etc to improve on their performance and
productivity. Majority of banks are insisting on cashless and paperless payment modes.
Page 18 of 77
According to a KPMG study, a research analysts says, as of FY2012, non-cash payments
constituted 91 per cent in value terms as compared to 88 per cent in FY in 2010 and 48 per
cent in terms of value from 35 per cent in FY 2010. A bank analyst says the payments made
through cheques in total non-cash transaction too has come down to 52 per cent from 83 per
cent in volume terms, and to nine per cent from 85 per cent in value terms during between FY
2006 and FY 2012.
 MICHAEL PORTER ANALYSIS OF BANKING
INDUSTRY
Page 19 of 77
THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS(LOW)
Despite the regulatory and capital requirements of starting a new bank, between 1977 and
2002 an average of 215 new banks opened each year according to the FDIC. With so many
new banks entering the market each year the threat of new entrants should be extremely high.
However, due to mergers and bank failures the average number of total banks decreases by
roughly 253 a year cause the industry deals with other people's money and financial
information new banks find it difficult to start up. Due to the nature of the industry people are
more willing to place their trust in big name, well known, major banks who they consider to
be trustworthy.
" The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seems ready to issue in-principle licences to a third set of
new banks in the world’s tenth largest economy after it hears from the Election Commission
(EC). Depending on the EC’s stance, it can happen as early as next week or post the April-
May general election. In other words, the ball is now in the EC’s court. RBI has taken four
years to complete the exercise. Former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced that a
new set of private players would be allowed to set up banks in February 2010.Twenty-five
companies have applied for licences but less than half a dozen may get RBI clearance."-this
news has given rise to threat of new entrants in banking industry. but according to a top
HDFC executive "I think the market is large enough to support the growth of more new
private-sector banks," HDFC Bank deputy managing director Paresh Sukthankar said at an
IIFL Investor Conference in Mumbai
Factors affecting new entrants in banking sector:
 Government Licensing and RBI regulations
 Skills manpower
 High Initial investment
POWER OF SUPPLIERS (MEDIUM TO HIGH)
Capital is the primary resource on any bank and there are four major suppliers (various other
suppliers [like fees] contribute to a lesser degree) of capital in the industry.
1. Customer deposits.
2. mortgages and loans.
3. mortgage-backed securities.
4.Loans from other financial institutions
Page 20 of 77
By utilizing these four major suppliers, the bank can be sure that they have the necessary
resources required to service their customers' borrowing needs while maintaining enough
capital to meet withdrawal expectations.
The power of the suppliers is largely based on the market, their power is often considered to
fluctuate between medium to high.
Factor affecting bargaining power of suppliers
 Rise in investment avenues
 Providers of funds
 Interest rates
 Valuations
 The economic outlook
 Role of RBI
POWER OF BUYERS(LOW)
The individual doesn't pose much of a threat to the banking industry, but one major factor
affecting the power of buyers is relatively high switching costs. If a person has one bank that
services their banking needs, mortgage, savings, checking, etc, it can be a huge hassle for that
person to switch to another bank. To try and convince customers to switch to their bank they
will often times lower the price of switching, though most people still prefer to stick with
their current bank. The internet has greatly increased the power of the consumer in the
banking industry. The internet has greatly increased the ease and reduced the cost for
consumers to compare the prices of opening/holding accounts as well as the rates offered at
various banks.
Factors affecting power of buyers
 Long-term finance.
 Margins and volumes.
 Multiple Options
 Banks Competitors
 Retail lending
Page 21 of 77
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES(BASICALLY FROM NON
FINANCIAL CORPORATION/UNORGANISED SECTOR)
Some of the banking industry's largest threats of substitution are not from rival banks but
from non financial competitors
The industry does not suffer any real threat of substitutes as far as deposits or withdrawals,
however insurances, mutual funds, and fixed income securities are some of the many banking
services that are also offered by a non banking companies. There is also the threat of payment
method substitutes and loans are relatively high for the industry. For example, big name
electronics, jewelers, car dealers, and more tend to offer preferred financing on "big ticket"
items. Often times these non-banking companies offer a lower interest rates on payments
then the consumer would otherwise get from a traditional bank loan.
Factors affecting substitution
 Close customer relationships,
 Conservative Customers
 Risk taking customers attitude.
 Switching costs
COMPETITIVE RIVALRY
The banking industry is considered highly competitive. The financial services industry has
been around for hundreds of years, and just about everyone who needs banking services
already has them. Because of this, banks must attempt to lure clients away from competitor
banks. They do this by offering lower financing, higher rates, investment services, and
greater conveniences than their rivals. The banking competition is often a race to determine
which bank can offer both the best and fastest services, but has caused banks to experience a
lower ROA (Return on Assets). Given the nature of the industry it is more likely to see
further consolidation in the banking industry. Major banks tend to prefer to acquire or merge
with other banks than to spend money marketing and advertising.

FINDINGS
 The sample size has 35% people who has been associated with the bank from
6months to 2years showing steady increase in customers base
 As the people belong to HNW segment hence the income of the customers is high
 The people having account in HDFC also have accounts in SBI-29% and ICICI-29%
hence showing they are the competition to HDFC bank. Even Axis Bank is a tough
competitor to the bank as 24% of customers of HDFC also have their account in it
 23% of people have chosen HDFC for its excellent service. We can also see the
people are showing interest in HDFC due to net banking facility provided by it
 Mostly the customers visit the bank to get personalised advice from the Relationship
Managers showing that people are satisfied with their services.
 From the sample size 43% HNW customers belong to preferred 26% to Classic and
31% to Imperia.
 More than 50% of people are availing saving account
 We can see from the data that people are really satisfied by the services provided by
the Relationship Manager and they have been successful in explaining the premium banking
program to HNW customers and even all the doubts have been clarified by them.
 The Relationship Manager have a big responsibility of keeping HNW customers up to
date with the new initiatives and the collected data shows that customers are more than
satisfied with RMs and the way they are keeping them up to date
 The bank has got excellent rating regarding the accessibility and responsiveness
Page 69 of 77
 The customers are happy and satisfied with most of the service quality except for the
waiting time for which most of the customers have given average and below average.
 The customers are really satisfied with RMs work and hence rated personalised
banking service as excellent. The customers are no so satisfied with the interest rates of the
bank and hence giving it rating of below average.
 A strange but a fact has come out during the research that customers are rational and
if provided with better service quality they will switch to some other bank and only 6% of
customers won't switch even when provided with better facility with some other bank. The
bank needs to concentrate on increasing the loyal customer base by creating more trust and
personalised relations with the customers.
 None of the customers has rated bank as poor in over all service which is quite
commendable job done by the branch.
Page 70 of 77
CONCLUSION
Based on the internship and the work done I come to a conclusion Relationship Managers
play a very crucial role in satisfying the HNW customers. The factors that delight customers
tend to be concerned more with the intangible nature of the service, commitment,
attentiveness, friendliness, care, and courtesy.
The Relationship Managers give prompt services, are always ready to answer the questions
and are trustworthy. When the customer comes for the first time to bank they give a proper
attention to customer, so that the customer can be fully satisfied. There is a huge role of RMs
in the satisfaction of customer as they provides them good service. Customer also feels safe
while doing any transaction with the bank.
The main dissatisfaction appear to be in the waiting time as HDFC has long procedures for
things to be done plus the interest rates are not that attractive.
HDFC is also now focusing on direct banking channels though quite a work has been done
by the bank in this sphere but still it is working vigorously to increase its net banking base
this would ultimately help in reducing the waiting time .
The management should understand the benefits of service quality. It 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. In the days of intense competition, superior service 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. Thus, improving service quality
leads to the customer satisfaction and, ultimately, to customer loyalty.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Increase in virtualization to reduce the waiting time
Loan Liabilities should be given more stress
There should be an improvement made in interest rates so that they are competitive enough
according to industry standards.
During the interaction with the customers most of them wanted that Mobile sms should show
remaining balance
Looking for the other potential customers and designing products according to their needs
and requirements for example
The owners of “kirana” stores or groceries stores have lot of money but have little
knowledge of as to how to invest them productively for this the Relationship Managers
should work on including them in their premium banking program instead of waiting for
them to come to the bank. The RMs can prepare a database of the customers and try to
explain them the products that best suit their needs rather randomly calling people. Thus they
can be the other target customer and can be worked upon the above mentioned way.

  • 5. Page 5 of 77 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project is directed towards developing an insight into initiatives taken by HDFC for its High Net Worth (HNW)clients and the various products designed for them. It is all about the initiatives taken by HDFC for increasing customer satisfaction and customer delight so that customers can enjoy the world class banking experience. The objective of the project is analyzing customer satisfaction and gathering feedback of HDFC customers. I worked on understanding different aspects of retail banking and different programs of HDFC for its HNW clients. During the internship I learned different aspects of net banking and different banking channels which includes net banking itself. I met customers of HDFC bank and discussed about different products and value added services of the bank . HNW clients primarily divided into different programs as follows- IMPERIA, PREFERRED and CLASSIC. Over All Learning is-  1.How acquisition of new customers is done.  2. Understanding the steps taken by the bank for enhancing the relationship by cross- selling products and services as per the profile and need of the customers.  3. Deepening the size of the relationship.  4. Retention of the customers by providing the best possible services and being the dedicated point of contact of these customers. So basically the internship was all about Relationship Management for the imperia, preferred and classic HDFC customers. This relationship management helps HDFC in following ways  HDFC bank becomes the primary bank for these Preferred Customers.  Maximum share of wallet of these customers is with HDFC bank.

  • 10. Page 10 of 77 INTRODUCTION Banking is one the main drivers of the service industry. As the service industry has boomed, the competition faced by the banks essentially private banks, has increased. So, in order to maintain an edge above the others, the key elements that a bank needs to focus upon is to increase customer satisfaction and customer delight by providing different value added services and improving quality of services it offers. These enable a bank to get a competitive advantage over the others. In India banking sector is one of the most regulated sector in the economy. When Indian Government allowed private banks to operate in the nation many banks came into existence and gave a tough competition to various nationalized players. Private banks won over most nationalized banks because of the quality of services they offered to their customers. Private banks are more profitable compared to most nationalized banks. There was a time when no one used to trust private banks for the banking needs. But, the time has changed now. Many private banks now come in the list of top 10 banks in the country. The wreath for this healthy change goes to the hard work done by the folks over private banks. With attractive interest rates, bonus offers, the private banks have got success in attracting customers. The private banks are known for their friendly and speedy service. Since service plays a vital role in the banking sector, therefore the private banks have become the favorite of many people. Here is the list of top Banks in India as given by www.bankindia.org posted on April 24,2013 by Mr. Suraj Tandon in bank news.

Page 13 of 77 BANKING SECTOR ANALYSIS  PEST ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY PEST Analysis is the marketing tool which helps us in understanding macro environment factors which affect the organisation. PESTEL STANDS FOR  P-Political  E-Economic  S-Social  T-Technological POLITICAL FACTORS The Indian banking Industry is mostly dependent on the monetary policy decided by the RBI Stricter regulations with respect to capital and liquidity directly affects the business of banks. Banks need to adjust their interest rates accordingly, which may or may not favour them Banks are forced to lend as per the guidelines of RBI, that includes credit growth in all sectors Budgetary Measures announced by the government at the beginning of every financial year also lay down guidelines to banks to lend or accept deposits The government can also increase credit in particular sectors such as increase in farm credit, increase in infrastructure credit etc.(priority lending) Sometimes the government gives debt waivers to certain sections of the society that need to be adhered to by banks as well To use a cliché, there will be a tectonic shift in the Indian banking landscape in 2014. Both the body and the soul of the Rs.80 trillion banking industry will change. A set of new banks will get the regulator’s approval, some foreign banks operating in India may decide in favor of local incorporation to get near-national treatment, and new norms for early recognition of financial distress and faster resolution and recovery will help curb rising bad assets and improve the health of the banking system. In 1969 the Indian government nationalised all the major banks that it did not already own and these have remained under government ownership. They are run under a structure know as 'profit-making public sector undertaking' (PSU) and are allowed to compete and operate as
  • 14. Page 14 of 77 commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is made up of four types of banks, as well as the PSUs and the state banks, they have been joined since the 1990s by new private commercial banks and a number of foreign banks. A day after the exit polls set the market on fire, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) panel report has recommended that the government should divest its stake in state-owned banks to less than 50%, allow private equity houses to own 40% in distressed banks, and strip managers of private sector banks of their bonuses and Esops if they are caught ever-greening sticky loans. It has also said that RBI — and not the finance ministry — should have the last word on regulation of public sector banks which command 70% of the market share. "Boards (of PSU banks) are disempowered, and the selection process for directors is increasingly compromised," said the report. The recommendations have the potential to transform Indian banks. The panel has proposed an age limit of 65 years for CEOs and whole time directors of private sector banks. Once implemented, lenders like IndusInd Bank BSE 5.24 % and HDFC Bank BSE 2.11 % would have to identify successors for Romesh Sobti and Aditya Puri in next two years. While new banks and locally incorporated foreign banks will rewrite the rules of the game, RBI’s initiative to clean up bad loans will add strength to the banking system. The combination of bad and restructured loans is at least 10% of total banking assets in India. The new norms will give incentives to banks to detect the first sign of a loan turning bad and take remedial steps and, at the same time, they will make life difficult for rogue borrowers. At the next stage, RBI will probably focus on reforming state-run banks that account for about 70% of banking assets, but lack the skill to manage them and aren’t smart enough to say no when it comes to taking exposure to some sectors. Overall, 2014 will be action-packed; banks cannot ask for a more exciting time. ECONOMIC FACTORS Economic factors in the country also effect the Banking Industry both favorably or unfavorably. When the economy is in good shape in terms of high per capita income, good agriculture harvest and normal inflation, banks have an edge as people are left with more money to deposit them with banks. This helps in more capital formation as more deposits can

Also In the times of economic boom, more and more FDI is brought into India through banking channels, that actually improves business for banks and the economy in general Economic prosperity encourages lending business for the banks but in times of recession banks face tough times to recover their money, issue fresh credit and NIMs are lower too Every year RBI declares its 6 monthly policies and accordingly the various measures and rates are implemented which has an impact on the banking sector. The Economic measures affects the banking sector to boost the economy by giving certain concessions or facilities. If in the savings are encouraged, then more deposits will be attracted towards the banks and in turn they can lend more money to the agricultural sector and industrial sector, therefore, booming the economy. If the FDI limits are relaxed, then more FDI are brought in India through banking channels FDI POLICIES Banking Sector Private Percentage of Equity /FDI Capital- 74% including investment by FIIs/FPIs Entry Route- Automatic up to 49%, Government route beyond 49% and up to 74% Other Conditions: (1) This 74% limit will include investment under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) by FIIs/FPIs, NRIs and shares acquired prior to September 16, 2003 by erstwhile OCBs, and continue to include IPOs, Private placements, GDR/ADRs and acquisition of shares from existing shareholders. (2) The aggregate foreign investment in a private bank from all sources will be allowed up to a maximum of 74 per cent of the paid up capital of the Bank.

  • 16. Page 16 of 77 Monetary and Liquidity Measures On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, it has been decided to:  keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 8.0 per cent;  keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks unchanged at 4.0 per cent of net demand and time liability (NDTL); and  increase the liquidity provided under 7-day and 14-day term repos from 0.5 per cent of NDTL of the banking system to 0.75 per cent, and decrease the liquidity provided under overnight repos under the LAF from 0.5 per cent of bank-wise NDTL to 0.25 per cent with immediate effect. Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7.0 per cent, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 9.0 per cent. INFLATION RATE The average Inflation Rate in 2014 is 6.89% (based on CPI-Consumer Price Index) Elevated borrowing costs have added to manufacturers' woes after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked interest rates three times between September and January to curb stubborn inflation which has showed no signs of easing even as growth tumbled.
  • 17. Page 17 of 77 SOCIAL FACTORS The Indian banking system has been progressing rapidly. There are still several untapped rural markets, despite the large number of banks in India Many farmers still take loans from moneylenders at a very high interest rate and small-scale industries continue to remain important for banks However changes could be expected in the near future for the unorganized sector. The growing population of India is a great opportunity for Indian banks as a lot of people in the country want to open a bank account and develop good savings habit. Changing lifestyle of the Indian urban population who wants easy ways of financing to their desires TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS Information technology is one of the most important facilitators for the transformation of the Indian banking industry in terms of its transactions processing as well as for various other internal systems and processes. The various technological platforms used by banks for the conduct of their day to day operations, their manner of reporting and the way in which interbank transactions and clearing is affected has evolved substantially over the years. The technological evolution of the Indian banking industry has been largely directed by the various committees set up by the RBI and the government of India to review the implementation of technological change. No major breakthrough in technology implementation was achieved by the industry till the early 80s, though some working groups and committees made stray references to the need for mechanization of some banking processes. This was largely due to the stiff resistance by the very strong bank employees unions. The early 1980s were instrumental in the introduction of mechanization and computerization in Indian banks. This was the period when banks as well as the RBI went very slow on mechanization, carefully avoiding the use of ‘computers’ to avoid resistance from employee unions. However, this was the critical period acting as the icebreaker, which led to the slow and steady move towards large scale technology adoption Banks have changed in their operations and moved towards universal banking along with the increased usage of technology and technology-based services offering alternate channels such as smart cards, ATMs, usage of the internet, mobile and social banking. Banks have started deploying core banking, human resource management (HRM) and enterprise risk (ERP) management and process re-engineering etc to improve on their performance and productivity. Majority of banks are insisting on cashless and paperless payment modes.

Page 18 of 77 According to a KPMG study, a research analysts says, as of FY2012, non-cash payments constituted 91 per cent in value terms as compared to 88 per cent in FY in 2010 and 48 per cent in terms of value from 35 per cent in FY 2010. A bank analyst says the payments made through cheques in total non-cash transaction too has come down to 52 per cent from 83 per cent in volume terms, and to nine per cent from 85 per cent in value terms during between FY 2006 and FY 2012.  MICHAEL PORTER ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY
  • 19. Page 19 of 77 THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS(LOW) Despite the regulatory and capital requirements of starting a new bank, between 1977 and 2002 an average of 215 new banks opened each year according to the FDIC. With so many new banks entering the market each year the threat of new entrants should be extremely high. However, due to mergers and bank failures the average number of total banks decreases by roughly 253 a year cause the industry deals with other people's money and financial information new banks find it difficult to start up. Due to the nature of the industry people are more willing to place their trust in big name, well known, major banks who they consider to be trustworthy. " The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seems ready to issue in-principle licences to a third set of new banks in the world’s tenth largest economy after it hears from the Election Commission (EC). Depending on the EC’s stance, it can happen as early as next week or post the April- May general election. In other words, the ball is now in the EC’s court. RBI has taken four years to complete the exercise. Former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced that a new set of private players would be allowed to set up banks in February 2010.Twenty-five companies have applied for licences but less than half a dozen may get RBI clearance."-this news has given rise to threat of new entrants in banking industry. but according to a top HDFC executive "I think the market is large enough to support the growth of more new private-sector banks," HDFC Bank deputy managing director Paresh Sukthankar said at an IIFL Investor Conference in Mumbai Factors affecting new entrants in banking sector:  Government Licensing and RBI regulations  Skills manpower  High Initial investment POWER OF SUPPLIERS (MEDIUM TO HIGH) Capital is the primary resource on any bank and there are four major suppliers (various other suppliers [like fees] contribute to a lesser degree) of capital in the industry. 1. Customer deposits. 2. mortgages and loans. 3. mortgage-backed securities. 4.Loans from other financial institutions
  • 20. Page 20 of 77 By utilizing these four major suppliers, the bank can be sure that they have the necessary resources required to service their customers' borrowing needs while maintaining enough capital to meet withdrawal expectations. The power of the suppliers is largely based on the market, their power is often considered to fluctuate between medium to high. Factor affecting bargaining power of suppliers  Rise in investment avenues  Providers of funds  Interest rates  Valuations  The economic outlook  Role of RBI POWER OF BUYERS(LOW) The individual doesn't pose much of a threat to the banking industry, but one major factor affecting the power of buyers is relatively high switching costs. If a person has one bank that services their banking needs, mortgage, savings, checking, etc, it can be a huge hassle for that person to switch to another bank. To try and convince customers to switch to their bank they will often times lower the price of switching, though most people still prefer to stick with their current bank. The internet has greatly increased the power of the consumer in the banking industry. The internet has greatly increased the ease and reduced the cost for consumers to compare the prices of opening/holding accounts as well as the rates offered at various banks. Factors affecting power of buyers  Long-term finance.  Margins and volumes.  Multiple Options  Banks Competitors  Retail lending
  • 21. Page 21 of 77 THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES(BASICALLY FROM NON FINANCIAL CORPORATION/UNORGANISED SECTOR) Some of the banking industry's largest threats of substitution are not from rival banks but from non financial competitors The industry does not suffer any real threat of substitutes as far as deposits or withdrawals, however insurances, mutual funds, and fixed income securities are some of the many banking services that are also offered by a non banking companies. There is also the threat of payment method substitutes and loans are relatively high for the industry. For example, big name electronics, jewelers, car dealers, and more tend to offer preferred financing on "big ticket" items. Often times these non-banking companies offer a lower interest rates on payments then the consumer would otherwise get from a traditional bank loan. Factors affecting substitution  Close customer relationships,  Conservative Customers  Risk taking customers attitude.  Switching costs COMPETITIVE RIVALRY The banking industry is considered highly competitive. The financial services industry has been around for hundreds of years, and just about everyone who needs banking services already has them. Because of this, banks must attempt to lure clients away from competitor banks. They do this by offering lower financing, higher rates, investment services, and greater conveniences than their rivals. The banking competition is often a race to determine which bank can offer both the best and fastest services, but has caused banks to experience a lower ROA (Return on Assets). Given the nature of the industry it is more likely to see further consolidation in the banking industry. Major banks tend to prefer to acquire or merge with other banks than to spend money marketing and advertising.

  • 68. Page 68 of 77 FINDINGS  The sample size has 35% people who has been associated with the bank from 6months to 2years showing steady increase in customers base  As the people belong to HNW segment hence the income of the customers is high  The people having account in HDFC also have accounts in SBI-29% and ICICI-29% hence showing they are the competition to HDFC bank. Even Axis Bank is a tough competitor to the bank as 24% of customers of HDFC also have their account in it  23% of people have chosen HDFC for its excellent service. We can also see the people are showing interest in HDFC due to net banking facility provided by it  Mostly the customers visit the bank to get personalised advice from the Relationship Managers showing that people are satisfied with their services.  From the sample size 43% HNW customers belong to preferred 26% to Classic and 31% to Imperia.  More than 50% of people are availing saving account  We can see from the data that people are really satisfied by the services provided by the Relationship Manager and they have been successful in explaining the premium banking program to HNW customers and even all the doubts have been clarified by them.  The Relationship Manager have a big responsibility of keeping HNW customers up to date with the new initiatives and the collected data shows that customers are more than satisfied with RMs and the way they are keeping them up to date  The bank has got excellent rating regarding the accessibility and responsiveness
  • 69. Page 69 of 77  The customers are happy and satisfied with most of the service quality except for the waiting time for which most of the customers have given average and below average.  The customers are really satisfied with RMs work and hence rated personalised banking service as excellent. The customers are no so satisfied with the interest rates of the bank and hence giving it rating of below average.  A strange but a fact has come out during the research that customers are rational and if provided with better service quality they will switch to some other bank and only 6% of customers won't switch even when provided with better facility with some other bank. The bank needs to concentrate on increasing the loyal customer base by creating more trust and personalised relations with the customers.  None of the customers has rated bank as poor in over all service which is quite commendable job done by the branch.
  • 70. Page 70 of 77 CONCLUSION Based on the internship and the work done I come to a conclusion Relationship Managers play a very crucial role in satisfying the HNW customers. The factors that delight customers tend to be concerned more with the intangible nature of the service, commitment, attentiveness, friendliness, care, and courtesy. The Relationship Managers give prompt services, are always ready to answer the questions and are trustworthy. When the customer comes for the first time to bank they give a proper attention to customer, so that the customer can be fully satisfied. There is a huge role of RMs in the satisfaction of customer as they provides them good service. Customer also feels safe while doing any transaction with the bank. The main dissatisfaction appear to be in the waiting time as HDFC has long procedures for things to be done plus the interest rates are not that attractive. HDFC is also now focusing on direct banking channels though quite a work has been done by the bank in this sphere but still it is working vigorously to increase its net banking base this would ultimately help in reducing the waiting time . The management should understand the benefits of service quality. It 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. In the days of intense competition, superior service 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. Thus, improving service quality leads to the customer satisfaction and, ultimately, to customer loyalty.
  • 71. Page 71 of 77 RECOMMENDATIONS Increase in virtualization to reduce the waiting time Loan Liabilities should be given more stress There should be an improvement made in interest rates so that they are competitive enough according to industry standards. During the interaction with the customers most of them wanted that Mobile sms should show remaining balance Looking for the other potential customers and designing products according to their needs and requirements for example The owners of “kirana” stores or groceries stores have lot of money but have little knowledge of as to how to invest them productively for this the Relationship Managers should work on including them in their premium banking program instead of waiting for them to come to the bank. The RMs can prepare a database of the customers and try to explain them the products that best suit their needs rather randomly calling people. Thus they can be the other target customer and can be worked upon the above mentioned way.
