PREFACE
Management today is must for day-to-day life. Management is the integral part of the
business. In this world, all things need proper management for its success. Business without
proper management is like a castle of sand built on seashore. Even individuals need proper
management for running their life smoothly. Only theoretical knowledge is not enough in
MBA along with one needs some practical exposure in the corporate world also. MBA
provides this opportunity through the medium of group projects. This project has made one
thing clear that there are two pillars for getting success in business i.e. efficiency and
Effectiveness; it means not only doing right things but also doing things rightly.
In MBA Theory of any subject is important but without its practical knowledge it becomes
unless particularly for the Management Students. As a students of the Business
Administration, we have studied many theories and concepts in the classroom, but only after
taking up this project work we have experienced & understood these Management theories
&practices in its fullest sense, which plays a very vital role in business field today. The
knowledge of management is incomplete without knowing the practical application of the
theories studied. This project report gives knowledge of difference between public or
private sector bank.. This project has brought positive changes in our lifes & career. The
Project gave us a lot exposure which will be helpful to us for the rest of the MBA curriculum.
We consider ourselves fortunate enough for getting guidance from one of the best banks at a
very important stage of my career.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY :-
The objective of the study is to have a comparative study of the PSU Banks and Private Sector Banks
in Semi urban areas and also to find out the most preferred Banking Sector among them.
For the above study a questionnaire was designed and the same was provided to the respondents for
their valuable inputs. Some of the inputs were taken from Qualtrics Survey Software and others were
provided in the form of hard copies.
All the aspects of the study included introduction of the study, objective of the study, research
methodology, literature review, data interpretation and analysis, findings, suggestions and
recommendations.
The study suggests that in this part of the country the Public Sector Banks are ahead of the Private
Sector Banks. The main reasons according to our study are the trust and reliability factor (DICGC
assurance on deposits) and the location of the branch (Financial Inclusion policy of Reserve Bank of
India)
The data collection of the study was mainly taken from primary source i.e. Questionnaire and
secondary sources of the data i.e. internet and Kiran Prakashan Books and Arihant Books AND 10
days of MBA.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
This study has been conducted with a variety of important objectives in mind. The
following provides us with the chief objectives that have tried to achieve through the study.
The extent to which these objectives have been met could judged from the conclusions and
suggestions, which appear in the later of this study.
The Chief Objectives of this study are:-
1. To find the banking sector largely preferred by the customers.
2. To find out the factors which influence the customers to choose a bank.
3. To study the problems faced by the customers in public as well as private
sector banks and also to compare between them.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM-The
“expectations” of customers influence their buying behaviour. The customers
relate this expectation to the quality of service provided by the banks. The level of
expectation differs from person to person but everyone wants the banks to provide the
products and services which can satisfy their needs up to their expected level or to a higher
level so as to offer them a higher satisfaction. The level of satisfaction of customers is
affected by some other attributes also other than the quality of service such as their
experience with the bank employees etc. As there is a huge competition in the banking sector
in India, the customer satisfaction is an important factor in the success of the banks. So with
this background an attempt has been made to study the satisfaction of the customers of
various banks taking into consideration some important attributes which customers consider
for rating their satisfaction with a particular bank.

LITERATURE REVIEW:-
A literature review provides an overview and a critical evaluation of a body of
literature relating to a research topic or a research problem. It analyses a body of literature in
order to classify it by themes or categories, rather than simply discussing individual works
one after the other. A literature review often forms part of a larger research project such as
within a thesis, or it may be an independent written work, such as a synthesis written paper.
PURPOSE OF A LITERATURE REVIEW -
A literature review situates our topic in relation to previous researches and illuminates a
spot for our research. It accomplishes several goals –
Provides background for topic using previous research.
Shows we are familiar with previous, relevant research.
Evaluates the depth and breadth of the research with regards to our topic.
Determines relating questions or aspects of our topic in need of research.
In our research the main source of information has been the questionnaire filled up by the
respondents as well as the internet. The topic of our research “comparative study of the PSU
banks and private banks.” has not been published earlier. So the main argument of the topic
whether PSU banks or private banks rule has been the main focus. The internet, questionnaire
served by us to the respondents, website of particular banks has been the major source of
information. Few worth literatures like Kiranprakashan bank books, Arihants banking
knowledge have been very valuable.
PRASHANTA ATHMA (2000):-
In his Ph D research submitted at Usmania University Hyderabad, “Performance of
Public Sector Banks – A Case Study of State Bank of Hyderabad, made an attempt to
evaluate the performance of Public Sector Commercial Banks with special emphasis on State
Bank of Hyderabad. The period of the study for evaluation of performance is from 1980 to
1993-94, a little more than a decade. In this study, Athma outlined the Growth and Progress
of Commercial Banking in India and. analyzed the trends in deposits, various components of
profits of SBH, examined the trends in Asset structure, evaluated the level of customer
satisfaction and compared the performance of SBH with other PSBs, Associate Banks of SBI
and SBI. Statistical techniques like Ratios, Percentages, Compound Annual rate of growth
and averages are computed for the purpose of meaningful comparison and analysis. The
major findings of this study are that since nationalization, the progress of banking in India has
11. 11
been very impressive. All three types of Deposits have continuously grown during the study
period, though the rate of growth was highest in fixed deposits. A comparison of SBH
performance in respect of resource mobilization with other banks showed that the average
growth of deposits of SBH is higher than any other bank group. Profits of SBH showed an
increasing trend indicating a more than proportionate increase in spread than in burden.
Finally, majority of the customers have given a very positive opinion about the various
statements relating to counter service offered by SBH.
ZACHARIAS THOMAS(1997):-
Ph D Thesis, ‘Performance effectiveness of Nationalised Bank- A Case Study of
Syndicate Bank’, submitted to Kochin University (1997), Thesis studied the performance
effectiveness of Nationalized Bank by taking Syndicate Bank as case study in his Ph.D thesis.
Thomas has examined various aspects like growth and development of banking industry,
achievements of Syndicate Bank in relation to capital adequacy, quality of assets,
Profitability, Social Banking, Growth, Productivity, Customer Service and also made a
comparative analysis of 'the performance effectiveness of Syndicate Bank in relation to
Nationalized bank. A period of ten years from 1984 to 1993-94 is taken for the study. This
study is undertaken to review and analyze the performance effectiveness of Syndicate Bank
and other Nationalized banks in India using an Economic Managerial efficiency Evaluation
Model (EMEE Model) developed by researcher. Thomas in this study found that Syndicate
Bank got 5th Position in Capital adequacy and quality of assets, 15th in Profitability, 14th
Position in Social Banking, 8thin Growth, 7th in Productivity and 15th position in Customer
Service among the nationalized banks. Further, he found that five nationalized banks showed
low health performance, seven low priority performance and eleven low efficiency
performance in comparison with Syndicate Bank.
SINGH R (2003):-
In his paper Profitability management in banks under deregulate environment, IBA
bulletin, No25, has analyzed profitability management of banks under the deregulated
environment with some financial parameters of the major four bank groups i.e. public sector
banks, old private sector banks, new private sector banks and foreign banks, profitability has
declined in the deregulated environment. He emphasized to make the banking sector
competitive in the deregulated environment. They should prefer noninterest income sources.

JHA AND SARANGI (2011) :-
Analyzed the performance of seven public sector and private sector banks for the year
2009-10. They used three sets of ratios, operating performance ratios, financial ratios, and
efficiency ratios. In all eleven ratios were used. They found that Axis Bank took the first
position, followed ICICI Bank, BOI, PNB, SBI, IDBI, and HDFC, in that order.
DANGWAL AND KAPOOR (2010):-
Evaluated the financial performance of nationalized banks in India and assessed the
growth index value of various parameters through overall profitability indices. The data for
19 nationalized banks, for the post-reform period from 2002-03 to 2006-07, was used to
calculate the index of spread ratios, burden ratios, and profitability ratios. They found that
while four banks had excellent performance, five achieved good performance, four attained
fair performance, and six had poor performance.
SHARMA (2010):-
Assessed the bank failure resolution mechanism to analyze the powers given by the
countries to their regulators to carry out resolution of failed banks among 148 countries
during 2003. She used 12 variables for correlation and regression analysis. Her study
revealed that the countries which had faced systemic crisis were more prone to providing
liquidation powers to their regulators. These countries had a tendency to protect their
regulators through immunity, rather than any legal action. Systemic crisis did not
significantly influence the regulators’ powers for the restructuring of the banks.
PAT (2009):-
Made an assessment of the RBI’s Report on “Trend and Progress of Banking’ in India,
2007-08, which reported a relatively-healthy position of the Indian banking system. He noted
that the various groups of banks reported improvements in net profits, return on assets and
return on equity. Two basic indicators of sound banking system, namely, capital to risk
weighted assets and quality of assets, also revealed considerable improvements over the year.
SINGLA HK (2008):-
In his paper,’ financial performance of banks in India,’ in ICFAI Journal of Bank
Management No 7, has examined that how financial management plays a crucial role in the
growth of banking. It is concerned with examining the profitability position of the selected
sixteen banks of banker index for a period of six years (2001-06). The study reveals that the
profitability position was reasonable during the period of study when compared with the
previous years. Strong capital position and balance sheet place, Banks in better position to
deal with and absorb the economic constant over a period of time.

JOSHI VIJAYA (2007) :-
Observed that on the eve of banking reforms Indian Banking Sector was financially
unsound, unprofitable and inefficient. They made a critical examination of the changes that
have taken place in the banking sector after reforms. Further, what remains to be done with
respect of pre-emption of bank resources, directed credit, deregulation of interest rates, etc.
in the field of banking sector were also elaborately discussed.
Qamar (2003) :-
Identified the differences in terms of endowment factor, risk factor, revenue
diversification, profitability, and efficiency that might have existed among 100 scheduled
commercial banks, divided into three groups for the year 2000-2001. His study revealed that
the public sector banks were better endowed in terms of their assets base, share capital and
shareholders equity than other banks, whereas foreign banks and old private sector banks
operated at a very high capitalization ratio.

Muniappan (2002):-
Studied paradigm shift in banks from a regulator point of view in Indian Banking :
Paradigm Shift, IBA Bulletin, No 24 -3. He concluded the positive effect of banking
sector reforms on the performance of banks. He suggested many effective measures to
strengthen the Indian banking system. The reduction of NPAs, more provisions for
standards of the banks, IT, sound capital bare are the positive measures for a paradigm
shift. A regulatory change is required in the Indian banking system.

Research is an art of scientific investigation. In other words research is a scientific
and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. The logic behind taking
research methodology into consideration is that one can have knowledge regarding the
method and procedure adopted for achievements of objective of the project. With the
adoption of this others can also evaluate the results too.
The methodology adopted for studying the objective of the project was surveying the
bank account holders of the Semi urban areas. So keeping in view the nature of requirement
of the study to collect all the relevant information regarding the comparison of public sector
banks and the private sector banks direct personal interview method with the help of
structured questionnaire was adopted for collection of primary data.
Secondary data has been collected through the various magazines and newspaper and
by surfing on internet and also by visiting the websites of Indian Banking Association.
SAMPLE DESIGN:- A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given
population. It refers to the techniques or the procedures that the researchers would adopt in
selecting items for the samples. Sample design may as well lay down the number of items to
be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample. Sample design is determine before data
are collected. Here we select the population as sample in our sample design. The selected
respondents should be as representatives of the total population.
POPULATION:- The persons holding bank accounts in the semi urban areas were taken into
consideration.
DATA COLLECTION:- Data was collected by using two main methods i.e. primary data
and secondary data.
PRIMARY DATA:- primary data is the data which is used or collected for the first time and
it is not used by anyone in the past. There are number of sources of primary data from which
the information can be collected. We took the following resources for our research.
a) QUESTIONNAIRE:- This method of data collection is quite popular, particularly in case
of big enquiries. Here in our research we set 15 simple questions and requested the
respondents to answer these questions with correct information.
SECONDARY DATA:- Secondary data is the data which is available in readymade form
and which has already been used by other people for various purposes.
15. 15
SAMPLE PLAN:-
SAMPLE SIZE:- Keeping in mind all the constraints the size of the sample of our study was
selected as 100.
SAMPLING UNIT:- State bank of India, Due to nature of study we also visited various
branches of SBI, UBI, ICICI, AXIS.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:- Stratified convenient sampling. All the bank account holders
were taken into considerations. Research was conducted on clear assumptions that the
respondents would give frank and fair answer in a pragmatic way without any bias.
SAMPLING DESCRIPTION:- In order to understand the nature and characteristics of
various respondents in this study, the information was collected and analyzed according to
their socio - economic background like education, occupation, age, gender, place of domicile
etc .This descriptions show that these respondents that have been included in the study belong
to different background and this in turn enhances the capability and accuracy of the study.

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING:-
Bank is defined in many ways by various authors in the book son economics and
commerce. It is very difficult to define a bank; because a bank performs multifarious
functions may be defined in many ways according to their functions. The evolution of
different types of banks, each specializing in a particular field, gives emphasis on each and
every kind of bank. A general and comprehensive definition to cover all types of banking
institutions would be unscientific and probably impossible. Each type of bank should have its
own definition, explaining its specialized functions. Legislators have understood this
difficulty and that is why the bill of exchange Act 1882 (England) defines “A bank includes a
body of persons, whether incorporated or not, who carry on the business of banking” From
this definition it is clear to us that any institution, which performs the various banking
functions, may be termed as bank. But in practice it is found that many banking functions
wary from time to time and country to country. It is not possible on the part of a single bank
to perform all the banking functions at a time. So there originated numbers of specialized
banks with the objective of performing one or more functions. As for example, Central Bank,
Commercial bank, Industrial Bank, Agricultural Bank, Co-operative Bank etc., are seen in the
practical field.Dr. Herbert L. Hart has defined a banker as “A banker is one who in the
ordinary course of business honours cheques drawn upon him by persons for whom he
receives money on current account “According to Sir John Paget “No one and nobody
corporate and otherwise can be a banker who does not (i) take deposit accounts (ii) take
current accounts (iii) issue and pay cheques drawn upon him(iv) collect cheques crossed and
uncrossed for his customers “Hilton banking commission defines bank or banker as “Every
person, firm or company using in the description or its title, bank or banker or banking and
accepting deposits of money subject to withdrawal by cheque, draft or order”In view of the
above definitions, a simple and short definition can be given as “Bank is an institution, which
deals in money and credit “According to this precise definition a bank accepts deposits from
public and makes advances and loans to them. In practice bank receives deposits of money in
savings and current accounts at lower rate of interest or profit and gives on credit to needy
persons and businessmen at a higher rate of interest or profit.

BANKING IN INDIA:-
Banking in India in the modern sense originated in the last decades of the 18th
century. The first banks were Bank of Hindustan (1770-1829) and The General Bank of
India, established 1786 and since defunct..The largest bank, and the oldest still in existence,
is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which
almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks,
the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were
established under charters from the British East India Company. The three banks merged in
1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the
State in 1955. For many years the presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their
successors, until the Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935..In 1969 the Indian
government nationalized 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 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.Banking in India was generally fairly
mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India and to
the poor still remains a challenge. The government has developed initiatives to address this
through the State Bank of India expanding its branch network and through the National Bank
for Agriculture and Rural Development with things like microfinance.Indian Banking
Industry currently employees 1,175,149 employees and has a total of 109,811 branches in
India and 171 branches abroad and manages an aggregate deposit of 67504.54
billion (US$1.1 trillion or €820 billion) and bank credit of 52604.59 billion (US$880 billion
or €640 billion).
HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA:
In ancient India there is evidence of loans from the Vedic period (beginning 1750
BC). Later during the Maurya dynasty (321 to 185 BC), an instrument called adesha was in
use, which was an order on a banker desiring him to pay the money of the note to a third
person, which corresponds to the definition of a bill of exchange as we understand it today.
During the Buddhist period, there was considerable use of these instruments. Merchants in
large towns gave letters of credit to one another.
18. 18
COLONIAL ERA:-
During the period of British rule merchants established the Union Bank of Calcutta in
1829, first as a private joint stock association, then partnership. Its proprietors were the
owners of the earlier Commercial Bank and the Calcutta Bank, who by mutual consent
created Union Bank to replace these two banks. In 1840 it established an agency at
Singapore, and closed the one at Mirzapur that it had opened in the previous year. Also in
1840 the Bank revealed that it had been the subject of a fraud by the bank's accountant.
Union Bank was incorporated in 1845 but failed in 1848, having been insolvent for some
time and having used new money from depositors to pay its dividends.
The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the
oldest Joint Stock bank in India, it was not the first though. That honour belongs to the Bank
of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which survived until 1913, when it failed,
with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to the Alliance Bank of Simla.
Foreign banks too started to appear, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s.
The Comptoird'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another
in Bombay in 1862; branches in Madras and Pondicherry, then a French possession,
followed. HSBC established itself in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active trading
port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and so became a banking centre.
The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in
1881 in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in
Lahore in 1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the largest banks in
India.
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a
relative period of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the
social, industrial and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks,
most of which served particular ethnic and religious communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some exchange banks
and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated in different segments of
the economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing
foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally undercapitalized and lacked the
experience and maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This
segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the
19. 19
times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into
separate and cumbersome compartments."
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by
the Swadeshi movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen and political
figures to found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then
have survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Bank, Bank, Canara
Bank and Central Bank of India.
The fervour of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing of many private banks
in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi district which were unified earlier and known by the
name South Canara ( South Kanara ) district. Four nationalised banks started in this district
and also a leading private sector bank. Hence undivided Dakshina Kannada district is known
as "Cradle of Indian Banking".
During the First World War (1914–1918) through the end of the Second World
War (1939–1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India were challenging
for Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent, and it took its toll with
banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy gaining indirect boost due to war-related
economic activities. At least 94 banks in India failed between 1913 and 1918 as indicated in
the following table:

POST-INDEPENDENCE:- The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the
economies of Punjab and West Bengal, paralysing banking activities for months.
India's independence marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking.
The Government of India initiated measures to play an active role in the economic life of the
nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the government in 1948 envisaged
a mixed economy. This resulted into greater involvement of the state in different segments of
the economy including banking and finance.
The major steps to regulate banking included: The Reserve Bank of India, India's
central banking authority, was established in April 1935, but was nationalised on 1 January
1949 under the terms of the Reserve Bank of India (Transfer to Public Ownership) Act, 1948
(RBI, 2005b).
In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India".
IN THE 1960S:
Despite the provisions, control and regulations of the Reserve Bank of India, banks in
India except the State Bank of India (SBI), continued to be owned and operated by private
persons. By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry had become an important tool to facilitate
the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it had emerged as a large
employer, and a debate had ensued about the nationalization of the banking industry. Indira
Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, expressed the intention of the Government of
India in the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray
thoughts on Bank Nationalization."[7] The meeting received the paper with enthusiasm.
Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden. The Government of India issued an ordinance
('Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Ordinance, 1969') and
nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of 19 July 1969.
These banks contained 85 percent of bank deposits in the country.[7] Jayaprakash Narayan, a
national leader of India, described the step as a "masterstroke of political sagacity." Within
two weeks of the issue of the ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies
(Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on 9
August 1969.
A second dose of nationalisation of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The
stated reason for the nationalisation was to give the government more control of credit
21. 21
delivery. With the second dose of nationalisation, the Government of India controlled around
91% of the banking business of India. Later on, in the year 1993, the government merged
New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank. It was the only merger between nationalised
banks and resulted in the reduction of the number of nationalised banks from 20 to 19. After
this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the
average growth rate of the Indian economy.
LIBERALIZATION IN THE 1990s:-
In the early 1990s, the then government embarked on a policy of liberalization,
licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as New Generation tech-savvy
banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be
set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI Bank (since
renamed Axis), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in
the economy of India, revitalised the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth
with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely, government banks,
private banks and foreign banks.
The next stage for the Indian banking has been set up with the proposed relaxation in
the norms for foreign direct investment, where all foreign investors in banks may be given
voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10% at present. It has gone up to 74%
with some restrictions.
22. 22
CURRENT PERIOD:-
All banks which are included in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India Act,
1934 are Scheduled Banks. These banks comprise Scheduled Commercial Banks and
Scheduled Co-operative Banks. Scheduled Commercial Banks in India are categorised into
five different groups according to their ownership and/or nature of operation. These bank
groups are:
State Bank of India and its Associates
Nationalised Banks
Private Sector Banks
Foreign Banks
Regional Rural Banks.
In the bank group-wise classification, IDBI Bank Ltd. is included in Nationalised Banks.
Scheduled Co-operative Banks consist of Scheduled State Co-operative Banks and Scheduled
Urban Cooperative Banks.
By 2010, banking in India was generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range
and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and
foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered
to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable
economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal
pressure from the government.
With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-especially
in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail banking,
mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may also expect M&As,
takeovers, and asset sales.
In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its
stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an
investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI
announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would
need to be vetted by them.
In recent years critics have charged that the non-government owned banks are too
aggressive in their loan recovery efforts in connexion with housing, vehicle and personal
loans. There are press reports that the banks' loan recovery efforts have driven defaulting
borrowers to suicide.
23. 23
ADOPTION OF BANKING TECHNOLOGY:-
The IT revolution has had a great impact on the Indian banking system. The use of
computers has led to the introduction of online banking in India. The use of computers in the
banking sector in India has increased many fold after the economic liberalisation of 1991 as
the country's banking sector has been exposed to the world's market. Indian banks were
finding it difficult to compete with the international banks in terms of customer service,
without the use of information technology.
The RBI set up a number of committees to define and co-ordinate banking
technology. These have included:
In 1984 was formed the Committee on Mechanisation in the Banking Industry (1984) whose
chairman was Dr. C Rangarajan, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India. The major
recommendations of this committee were introducing MICR technology in all the banks in
the metropolises in India. This provided for the use of standardized cheque forms and
encoders.
In 1988, the RBI set up the Committee on Computerisation in Banks (1988) headed by Dr. C
Rangarajan. It emphasized that settlement operation must be computerized in the clearing
houses of RBI in Bhubaneshwar, Guwahati, Jaipur, Patna and Thiruvananthapuram. It further
stated that there should be National Clearing of inter-city cheques at
Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and MICR should be made operational. It also focused on
computerisation of branches and increasing connectivity among branches through computers.
It also suggested modalities for implementing on-line banking. The committee submitted its
reports in 1989 and computerisation began from 1993 with the settlement between IBA and
bank employees' associations.
In 1994, the Committee on Technology Issues relating to Payment systems, Cheque
Clearing and Securities Settlement in the Banking Industry (1994) was set up under
Chairman W S Saraf. It emphasized Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) system, with the
BANKNET communications network as its carrier. It also said that MICR clearing should be
set up in all branches of all those banks with more than 100 branches.
In 1995, the Committee for proposing Legislation on Electronic Funds Transfer and
other Electronic Payments (1995) again emphasized EFT system.
Total numbers of ATMs installed in India by various banks as on end June 2012 is
99,218. The New Private Sector Banks in India are having the largest numbers of ATMs.
24. 24
1.5 EXPANSION OF BANKING INFRASTRUCTURE:-
As per Census 2011, 58.7% households are availing banking services in the country.
There are 102,343 branches of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in the country, out of
which 37,953 (37%) bank branches are in the rural areas and 27,219 (26%) in semi-urban
areas, constituting 63% of the total numbers of branches in semi-urban and rural areas of the
country. However, a significant proportion of the households, especially in rural areas, are
still outside the formal fold of the banking system. To extend the reach of banking to those
outside the formal banking system, Government and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are taking
various initiatives from time to time some of which are enumerated below:
Opening of Bank Branches: Government had issued detailed strategy and guidelines
on Financial Inclusion in October 2011, advising banks to open branches in all habitations of
5,000 or more population in under-banked districts and 10,000 or more population in other
districts. Out of 3,925 such identified villages/habitations, branches have been opened in
3,402 villages/habitations (including 2,121 Ultra Small Branches) by end of April, 2013.
Each household to have at least one bank account: Banks have been advised to ensure
service area bank in rural areas and banks assigned the responsibility in specific wards in
urban area to ensure that every household has at least one bank account.
Business Correspondent Model: With the objective of ensuring greater financial inclusion
and increasing the outreach of the banking sector, banks were permitted by RBI in 2006 to
use the services of intermediaries in providing financial and banking services through the use
of Business Facilitators (BFs) and Business Correspondents (BCs). Business correspondents
are retail agents engaged by banks for providing banking services at locations other than a
bank branch/ATM. BCs and the BC Agents (BCAs) represent the bank concerned and enable
a bank to expand its outreach and offer limited range of banking services at low cost,
particularly where setting up a brick and mortar branch is not viable. BCs as agents of the
banks, thus, are an integral part of the business strategy for achieving greater financial
inclusion. Banks had been permitted to engage individuals/entities as BC like retired bank
employees, retired teachers, retired government employees, ex-servicemen, individual owners
of kirana/medical/fair price shops, individual Public Call Office (PCO) operators, agents of
Small Savings Schemes of Government of India, insurance companies, etc. Further, since
September 2010, RBI had permitted banks to engage "for profit" companies registered under
the Indian Companies Act, 1956, excluding Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), as
BCs in addition to individuals/entities permitted earlier. According to the data maintained by
25. 25
RBI, as in December, 2012, there were over 152,000 BCs deployed by Banks. During 2012-
13, over 183.8 million transactions valued at 165 billion (US$2.8 billion) had been
undertaken by BCs till December 2012.
Swabhimaan Campaign: Under "Swabhimaan" - the Financial Inclusion Campaign
launched in February 2011, banks had provided banking facilities by March, 2012 to over
74,000 habitations having population in excess of 2000 using various models and
technologies including branchless banking through Business Correspondents Agents (BCAs).
Further, in terms of Finance Minister's Budget Speech 2012-13, the "Swabhimaan" campaign
has been extended to habitations with population of more than 1,000 in North and to
habitations which have crossed population of 1,600 as per census 2001. About 40,000 such
habitations have been identified to be covered under the extended "Swabhimaan" campaign.
Setting up of Ultra Small Branches (USBs): Considering the need for close
supervision and mentoring of the Business Correspondent Agents (BCAs) by the respective
banks and to ensure that a range of banking services are available to the residents of such
villages, Ultra Small Branches (USBs) are being set up in all villages covered through BCAs
under Financial Inclusion. A USB would comprise of a small area of 100 sq ft (9.3 m2) -
200 sq ft (19 m2) where the officer designated by the bank would be available with a laptop
on pre-determined days. While the cash services would be offered by the BCAs, the bank
officer would offer other services, undertake field verification and follow up on the banking
transactions. The periodicity and duration of visits can be progressively enhanced depending
upon business potential in the area. A total of over 50,000 USBs have been set up in the
country by March, 2013.
Banking Facilities in Unbanked Blocks: All the 129 unbanked blocks (91 in North
East States and 38 in other States) identified in the country in July 2009, had been provided
with banking facilities by March 2012, either through Brick Mortar Branch or Business
Correspondents or Mobile van. As a next step it has been advised to cover all those blocks
with BCA and Ultra Small Branch which have so far been covered by mobile van only.
USSD Based Mobile Banking: National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI)
worked upon a "Common USSD Platform" for all banks and telcos who wish to offer the
facility of Mobile Banking using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) based
Mobile Banking. The Department helped NPCI to get a common USSD Code *99# for all
telcos. More than 20 banks have joined the National Uniform USSD Platform (NUUP) of
NPCI and the product has been launched by NPCI with BSNL and MTNL. Other telcos are
likely to join in the near future. USSD based Mobile Banking offers basic Banking facilities
26. 26
like Money Transfer, Bill Payments, Balance Enquiries, Merchant Payments etc. on a simple
GSM based Mobile phone, without the need to download application on a phone as required
at present in the IMPS based Mobile Banking.
STEPS TAKEN BY RESERVE BANK OF INDIA (RBI) TO STRENGTHEN THE
BANKING INFRASTRUCTURE:-
RBI has permitted domestic Scheduled Commercial Banks (excluding RRBs) to open
branches in tier 2 to tier 6 cities (with population up to 99,999 as per census 2001) without
the need to take permission from RBI in each case, subject to reporting.
RBI has also permitted SCBs (excluding RRBs) to open branches in rural, semi-urban
and urban centres in North Eastern States and Sikkim without having the need to take
permission from RBI in each case, subject to reporting.
Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) are also allowed to open branches in Tier 2 to Tier 6
centres (with population up to 99,999 as per Census 2001) without the need to take
permission from RBI in each case, subject to reporting, provided they fulfill the following
conditions, as per the latest inspection report:
CRAR of at least 9%;
Net NPA less than 5%;
No default in CRR / SLR for the last year;
Net profit in the last financial year;
CBS compliant.
Domestic SCBs have been advised that while preparing their Annual Branch Expansion
Plan (ABEP), they should allocate at least 25% of the total number of branches proposed to
be opened during the year in unbanked Tier 5 and Tier 6 centres i.e. (population up to 9,999)
centres which do not have a brick and mortar structure of any SCB for customer based
banking transactions.
RRBs have also been advised to allocate at least 25% of the total number of branches
proposed to be opened during a year in unbanked rural (Tier 5 and Tier 6) Centres).
New private sector banks are required to ensure that at least 25% of their total branches are in
semi-urban and rural centres on an ongoing basis.

India. The usual agencies that provided finance for large industries were inadequate. So the
govt. of India came forward to set-up a series of financial institution to provide funds to

Bank was nationalized and merged with some banks of the princely states. In 1969, in one
fell swoop, the fourteen largest privately – owned commercial banks were nationalized.

EMERGENCE OF PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
The Central Government entered the banking business with the nationalization of the
Imperial Bank of India in 1955. A 60% stake was taken by the Reserve Bank of India and the
new bank was named as the State Bank of India. The seven other state banks became the
subsidiaries of the new bank when nationalised on 19 July 1960.[2] The next major
nationalisation of banks took place in 1969 when the government of India, under Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi, nationalised an additional 14 major banks. The total deposits in the
banks nationalised in 1969 amounted to 50 crores. This move increased the presence of
nationalised banks in India, with 84% of the total branches coming under government
control.
The next round of nationalisation took place in April 1980. The government
nationalised six banks. The total deposits of these banks amounted to around 200 crores. This
move led to a further increase in the number of branches in the market, increasing to 91% of
the total branch network of the country. The objectives behind nationalisation where:
To break the ownership and control of banks by a few business families,
To prevent the concentration of wealth and economic power,
To mobilize savings from masses from all parts of the country,
To cater to the needs of the priority sectors.

STATE BANK OF INDIA (SBI)
State Bank of indies an Indian multinational, Public Sector banking and Services
Company. It is a government-owned corporation with its headquarters in Mumbai,
Maharashtra. As of December 2013, it had assets of US$388 billion and 17,000 branches,
including 190 foreign offices, making it the largest banking and financial services company
in India by assets. State Bank of India is one of the Big Four banks of India, along with Bank
of Baroda, Punjab National Bank and Bank of India].The bank traces its ancestry to British
India, through the Imperial Bank of India, to the founding, in 1806, of the Bank of Calcutta,
making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. Madras merged into the
other two "presidency banks" in British India, Bank of Calcutta and Bank of Bombay, to
form the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn became the State Bank of India.[8] India
owned the Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with Reserve Bank of India (India's Central Bank)
taking a 60% stake, and renamed it the State Bank of India. In 2008, the government took
over the stake held by the Reserve Bank of India. State Bank of India is a regional banking
behemoth and has 20% market share in deposits and loans among Indian commercial banks]
HISTORY
Seal of Imperial Bank of India. The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the first
decade of the 19th century, when the Bank of Calcutta, later renamed theBank of Bengal, was
established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other
two being the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of
Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint
stock companies and were the result of royal charters. These three banks received the
exclusive right to issue paper currency till 1861 when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right
was taken over by the Government of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27
January 1921, and the re-organised banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India.
The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint stock company but without Government
participation. Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve
Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial
Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In
2008, the government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in SBI so as to
remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act, which made
eight state banks associates of SBI. A process of consolidation began on 13 September 2008,
when the State Bank of Saurashtra merged with SBI.SBI has acquired local banks in rescues.
33. 33
The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911), which SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28
branches. The next year SBI acquired National Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24
branches. Five years later, in 1975, SBI acquired Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been
established in 1916 in Gwalior State, under the patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia.
The bank had been the Dukan Pichadi, a small moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The
new bank's first manager was Jall N. Broacha, a Parsi. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank of
Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI was the acquirer as its affiliate, the State
Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive network in Kerala. The State Bank of India and
all its associate banks are identified by the same blue keyhole logo. The State Bank of
India word mark usually has one standard typeface, but also utilises other typefaces. On
October 7, 2013, Arundhati Bhattacharya became the first woman to be appointed
Chairperson of the bank.
UNITED BANK OF INDIA (UBI)
United Bank of India is one of the 14 major banks which were nationalized on July
19, 1969. Its predecessor the United Bank of India Ltd., was formed in 1950 with the
amalgamation of four banks viz. Comilla Banking Corporation Ltd. (1914), Bengal Central
Bank Ltd. (1918), Comilla Union Bank Ltd. (1922) and Hooghly Bank Ltd. (1932) (which
were established in the years indicated in brackets after the names). The origin of the Bank
thus goes as far back as to 1914. As against 174 branches, Rs. 147 crores of deposits and Rs.
112 crores of advances at the time of nationalization in July, 1969, today the Bank is 100%
CBS enabled with2000 branches and offices and is having a Total business of more than
Rs 2 lac crore. Presently the Bank is having a Three-tier organizational set-up consisting of
the Head Office, 35 Regional Offices and the Branches.
After nationalization, the Bank expanded its branch network in a big way and actively
participated in the developmental activities, particularly in the rural and semi-urban areas in
conformity with the objectives of nationalization. In recognition of the role played by the
Bank, it was designated as Lead Bank in several districts and at present it is the Lead Bank in
30 districts in the States of West Bengal, Assam, Manipur and Tripura. The Bank is also the
Convener of the State Level Bankers' Committees (SLBC) for the States of West Bengal and
Tripura.
UBI played a significant role in the spread of banking services in different parts of the
country, more particularly in Eastern and North-Eastern India. UBI has sponsored 4 Regional
Rural Banks (RRB) one each in West Bengal, Assam, Manipur and Tripura. These four
34. 34
RRBs together have over 1000 branches. United Bank of India has contributed 35% of the
share capital/ additional capital to all the four RRBs in four different states. In its efforts to
provide banking services to the people living in the not easily accessible areas of the
Sunderbans in West Bengal, UBI had established two floating mobile branches on motor
launches which moved from island to island on different days of the week. The floating
mobile branches were discontinued with the opening of full- fledged branches at the centers
which were being served by the floating mobile branches. UBI is also known as the 'Tea
Bank' because of its age-old association with the financing of tea gardens. It has been the
largest lender to the tea industry.
The Bank has three full fledged Overseas Branches one each at Kolkata, New Delhi and
Mumbai with fully equipped dealing room and SWIFT terminal . Operations of all the
branches have since been computerized and Electronic Fund Transfer System came to be
implemented in the Bank's branches across the country. The Bank has ATMs all over the
country and customers can use United International Debit Card at all VISA ATMs across the
globe.
35. 35
PRIVATE BANKS:-
The private-sector banks in India represent part of the Indian banking sector that is
made up of both private and public sector banks. The "private-sector banks" are banks where
greater parts of stake or equity are held by the private shareholders and not by government.
Banking in India has been dominated by public sector banks since the 1969 when all major
banks were nationalised by the Indian government. However since liberalisation in
government banking policy in the 1990s, old and new private sector banks have re-emerged.
They have grown faster & bigger over the two decades since liberalisation using the latest
technology, providing contemporary innovations and monetary tools and techniques. The
private sector banks are split into two groups by financial regulators in India, old and new.
The old private sector banks existed prior to the nationalisation in 1969 and kept their
independence because they were either too small or specialist to be included in
nationalisation. The new private sector banks are those that have gained their banking license
since the liberalisation in the 1990s.
OLD PRIVATE-SECTOR BANKS:-
The banks, which were not nationalized at the time of bank nationalization that took
place during 1969 and 1980, are known to be the old private-sector banks. These were not
nationalized; because of their small size and regional focus. Most of the old private-sector
banks are closely held by certain communities their operations are mostly restricted to the
areas in and around their place of origin. Their Board of directors mainly consist of locally
prominent personalities from trade and business circles. One of the positive points of
these banks is that, they lean heavily on service and technology and as such.
NEW PRIVATE-SECTOR BANKS:-
The banks, which came in operation after 1991, with the introduction of economic
reforms and financial sector reforms are called "new private-sector banks”. Banking act was
then amended in 1993, which permitted the entry of new private-sector banks in the Indian
banking s sector. The private sector bank some of those criteria being:#The bank should have
a minimum net worth of Rs. 200 crores.
The promoters holding should be a minimum of 25% of the paid-up capital.
Within 3 years of the starting of the operations, the bank should offer shares to public and
their net worth must increased to 300 crores.

HISTORY:-
ICICI's branch located in Knightsbridge, London.ICICI Bank was established by
the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI), an Indian financial
institution, as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1994. The parent company was formed in 1955
as a joint-venture of the World Bank, India's public-sector banks and public-sector insurance
companies to provide project financing to Indian industry. The bank was initially known as
the Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Bank, before it changed its name to
the abbreviated ICICI Bank. The parent company was later merged with the bank.ICICI Bank
launched internet banking operations in 1998. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was
reduced to 46 percent, through a public offering of shares in India in 1998, followed by an
equity offering in the form of American Depositary Receipts on the NYSE in 2000. ICICI
Bank acquired the Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock deal in 2001 and sold additional
stakes to institutional investors during 2001-02.In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business
from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified
financial services group, offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and
through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the
38. 38
first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be
listed on the NYSE. In 2000, ICICI Bank became the first Indian bank to list on the New
York Stock Exchange with its five million American depository shares issue generating a
demand book 13 times the offer size. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and
ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly owned retail finance
subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited,
with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in
January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002 and by the High
Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. In 2008,
following the 2008 financial crisis, customers rushed to ICICI ATMs and branches in some
locations due to rumours of adverse financial position of ICICI Bank. The Reserve Bank of
India issued a clarification on the financial strength of ICICI Bank to dispel the rumours.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:-
Due to constraints of time and resources the study is likely to suffer from certain
limitations. Some of them are mentioned below so that the findings of the study are
understood in proper perspective.
The limitations of the study are –
1) Some of the respondents of the survey were unwilling to share information.
2) The research was carried out in a short period of time so. Therefore the sample
size and other parameters were selected accordingly so as to finish the work in
given time frame.
3) The information given by the respondents might be biased because some of them
might not be interested in providing correct information.
4) The officials of the bank supported us a lot but did not have sufficient time to
clear all the points elaborately.
5) Since the sample unit is a semi urban place i.e. with less presence of private sector
banks, hence the result is likely to tilt a bit towards the public sector banks.

cover the rural area so as to attract more customers. In addition they need to create
awareness among customers to enhance the trust factor in them.
The facility that was availed most was the ATM/Debit card facility whether in private
sector bank or in public sector bank.
Majority of the respondents do not want to shift from their current bank.
The most favoured bank in this part of country is the SBI and UBI.
From the above study it is clear that the respondents of public sector banks have
chosen the respective banks due to adequate branches i.e. location and due to the trust
factor.
From the above study it is clear that the respondents of private sector banks like them
because of the friendly behaviour of the staff as well as the quick and fast services
that is being provided. As the public sector banks working under the financial
inclusion policy of RBI hence they have got more number of customers because they
have “ no frill account “ now a day’s called BSBDA (Basic saving bank deposit
account)
From the above study it can be assured that BANCASSURANCE is still not a part in
this part of the country. Negligible amount of respondents have shown their interest in
this services along with mobile banking and credit card facility.

should be taken care off.

RECOMMENDATION:-
FOR PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS:-
Bank staff should be customer friendly and highly motivated to serve the normal
customers.
As far as possible the bank should reduce the documentation process while providing
loan.
Computerization should be done in banks at all levels and the operators should be
properly trained.
Token system should be introduced so as to reduce the waiting line in the bank.
Proper ambience in the banks can develop a healthy work culture.
Should be flexible in providing interest of the deposited money.
Quick services should be provided.
FOR PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS:-
24 hours banking should be introduced so as to facilitate the customers who don’t
have time in day time or week days.
More ATM coverage should be provided for convenience of the customers.
Should reduce the amount while opening a new saving bank account.
Should maintain a proper recruitment policy like the PSU to attract genuine talent to
work for the customers. Rather than recruiting on internal recommendation they
should follow the IBPS for recruitment to get better talent and better services from
their employees.
Should enhance the number of branches in rural areas to attract more customers.
Should advertise extensively regarding their operations and services to garner faith in
them.

CONCLUSION:-
From the above study we can conclude that the people have more faith on PSU Bank
than Private sector Bank. The main reasons are as follows
Since there are less number of branches of private sector banks in this country and
also the trust factor is less in case of private sector banks. Whereas for PSU Banks they are
working under the financial inclusion policy of the RBI and thus have adequate number of
branches in this place which Private Sector Banks do not. Hence with respect to this place it
is the PSU Bank mainly SBI & UBI as revealed in our study which is far ahead of the Private
Sector Banks with respect to customer base.
Since, banking industry is bound to grow extensively in the next few years; it is up to
the private sector banks to enhance the number of branches in the country to attract customers
of the said place.
For the PSU Bank in order to sustain the large customer base, they to change their
view regarding the customer relationship management (CRM). Their employees need to
change their behaviour and attitude towards its customers in order to serve its customer whole
heartedly and willingly.
