EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AS we know that the banking industry in financial sector. There are lots of

opportunity and awareness to enhance the economy. There are many

nationalized and private bank are overcome with competition that who will

the best service provider bank in present era there cannot be any economic

or financial activities without an institution like bank. A well structured

systematic banking system is needed for economic development bank

promotes capital building and investment the commercial bankers’ oldest

institutions having a widest network of branches. As my banking concern I

got the experience in kotak Mahindra bank ltd. As trainee for two month it is

the part of my BBA curriculum I work there as a sales executive under the

supervision of team leader Nishant bhardwaj. I aware with from whole

industry and its product how to sale & what I have to take an step for this as

my work profile of opening a/c I enjoyed and done well lead for the bank.

As a researcher I got many experiences we feel very better at KOTAK

Mahindra Bank. But some drawbacks were there.

The product charges were higher as compare to national bank it gives

challenge to convince the customer. In this bank customers are limited

because are limited because of high charge for opening the a/c no. doubt

bank has quick service have a net banking , mobile banking. ATM

advantage rather it is more expensive for the middle class customer actually .

As a researcher I got the main objective for the bank.

- To provide the KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK information regarding

various competitors.

3

- To help the researcher in knowing out the various kinds of services

provided by different banks.

- To study the various functioning’s of banks.

- To study the different products of banks.

- To provide the researcher tough field knowledge.

- To judge the customer satisfaction regarding their banks.

As the banking system plays a crucial role in the development of the

economy it was felt that reforms were necessary to improve the efficiency of

the system and to offer better services at a reasonable price to customers.

The banking org also provide the quality service for their new product the

customer has come to occupy center stage and he is the beneficiary of the

increasing competition.

“The vice-chairman of KOTAK Mahindra Bank Limited says "It is

survival of the fittest “

The industry as per the figures available is not less than Rs. 5500 cores only

from the foreign countries and think if talk of the entire funds from internal

as well as external sources. Marketing of the brand new product keeping in

mind the risk and keeping patience at the same time was a great experience.

The product no doubt was available in the market offered by all the banks in

India. But convincing the Customers is not an easy task. Also time taken by

them was too much.

But after the completion it is great to pen down this report and regaining the

entire period of the project and the work done which has been shared with

the reader in the report. Thank you for giving time

HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA

15

Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a

healthy economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle

free but it should be able to meet new challenges posed by the technology

and any other external and internal factors. For the past three decades India's

banking system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most

striking is its extensive reach. And this is not any regular change but the

result of the zest towards pace with quality products and services. Indians

are going global. This is one of the main reasons of India's growth process.

The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich

dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks of India. Not

long ago, an account holder had to wait for hours at the bank counters for

getting a draft or for withdrawing his own money. Today, he has a choice.

Gone are days when the most efficient bank transferred money from one

branch to other of the day. Now it is as simple as instant messaging or

booking a movie ticket. As our current scenario we always speaks of

"CUSTOMER AS A KING", here he could bring bank on his desk either by

Internet or by home banking facilities by some of

them.

The products and services of today's financial market is totally a mixture of

the demand and changing scenario. As technology, which began as an

enabler-something that allowed banks to service customers 24X7 – is now

emerging as a strategic lever in getting new customers and retaining them. It

is not only creating a new competition tool but also works with a lower per

unit service cost which always proves to be big problem for any company to

implement a new strategy. Now a days bank are moving with home banking

16

facility; that is entire banking relation at your desk. Some are charging for

this and some are not. Although this cannot be counted as a product but

these kinds of services are the only way with which you can take an edge in

this competitive market.

Banks going global -not only going into international business but also using

latest technological (analytical) tools at the back-end that enables them to

slice and dice data to improve services, spot new trends and acquire new

Customers.

The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From

1786 till today, the journey of Indian Banking system can be segregated into

three distinct phases. They can categorized as

Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks.

Nationalizations of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian

banking sector reforms

New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian

Financial & Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.

The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. The next came was

Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established

Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843)

as independent units and called it Presidency Banks. These three banks were

amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of Indian was established which

started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders. In

1865, Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indian,

Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore.

17

Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of

Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank and Bank of Mysore were set up.

Reserve Bank of India came in 1935: At the time of freedom there were

around 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and

activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The

Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking

Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965. Reserve Bank of Indian

was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as

the Central Banking Authority. It in 1955 nationalized Imperial Bank of

India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and

semi-urban areas. It formed State Bank of India to act as the principal agent

of RBI. In 1969 14 major commercial banks in the country was nationalized.

Second phase of nationalizing Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried

out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking

segment in India under Government ownership.

After the liberalization of banking practices in 1991 by Indian government

the country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are

being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net

banking is introduced. The system now demands is TIME NOT MONEY.

Reason is very simple being in competition more or less the products

provided by different public and private banks are same, the only difference

could be made by providing services which suits individual customers, as

each of them demands different things. The banks are providing a mix kind

of services or rather we could call them "flexible servicing system".

18

Electronic trading platforms have reduced the gap between completing the

trade and its final settlement thereby reducing the 'trade and settlement risk'.

Globalization is another big driver of change. In the past, foreign banks were

the first choice of those operating overseas. Indian banks have woken up to

the possibilities here. They are setting up representative offices, branches,

even acquiring banks, overseas. With a pick-up in exports and corporate

India's rising forays overseas, the scope for stepping up banks' off-shore

activities is widening. They already compete with Citibank’s and HSBC

global banks that have a strong presence in India. But as the country

integrates with the global economy and as its share of global trade grows

from less than 1% at present, our banks will have to go global.

BANK AS A SECTOR IN INDIA:

Banking today is not only an account holding machinery rather it plays a

role of the all-rounder in the financial games. It's like era of those who are

jack-of-all. The financial sector has kept pace with the growing needs of

corporate and other borrowers. Banks, capital market participants and

insurers have developed a wide range of introduced a regime where interest

rates are more in line with market forces.

The US$ 28 billion Indian financial sector has grown at around 15 percent

and has displayed stability for the last several years. The Indian banking

system has large geographic and financial coverage. Presently the total asset

19

size of the Indian banking sector is US$ 270 billion while the total deposits

amount to US$ 220 billion with a branch network exceeding 66,000

branches across the country. Commercial banks cater to short and medium

term financing requirements, national level and state level financial

institutions meet longer-term requirements.

Banking today has transformed into a technology intensive and customer

friendly model with a focus on convenience. The sector is set to witness the

emergence of financial supermarkets in the form of universal banks

providing a suite of services from retail to corporate banking and industrial

lending to investment banking. The corporate banking is no doubt the largest

segment.

Insurance hand-in-hand with insurance as a third party product plays an

important role to increase the net worth of the market and also of its sister

concerns. The size of insurance market has great opportunities to new

players with only 20 percent of the country's insurable population currently

insured.

Continued de-regulation and increased competition is expected to result in

the Indian competition is expected to result in the Indian financial services

reach US$ 51 billion by 2007.

DATA ANNALYSIS & INTERPRETATION

METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

The target was very simple we have to first target NON GOVERNMENT

ORGANIZATIONS, for the product of our bank. the retail marketing of

current account in Jaipur city

1. For this we had no data initially so we straight away took help of

Yellow Pages of the Jaipur City.

2. Secondly we collected FCRA list from the Internet for Rajasthan.

57

3. We also collected list of educational institute of Jaipur City.

Getting the list of people who use current account from yellow pages and

Internet was not enough for us. So we go for the survey of 300 peoples by

direct marketing. To know about their attitude towards your banking.

OPERATION ON THE LIST COLLECTED:

The list collected was not small. We divided the whole list area wise first

and then started work on it. We stepped forward as follows:

1]> Phone Calling: This was the first step which we followed the reason

is very simple the KOTAK Mahindra Bank has built a working culture for

which it is famous and that is way of doing business.

We proposed our product on phone with also knowing their present banking

relationships. This not only gave the customers the initial knowledge of our

bank and product but also we got to know what presently he is doing, what

is there banking size (yearly turnover), are they satisfied with the present

banking relationship with other banks

Phone calls proved to very important for us because taking appointment is

like first impression of the bank in front of the customers. Since we know

that is this the best media to know whether the person is willing to be a part

of our banking.

The important thing we kept in mind were two things firstly try to find what

a customer is most focused on like only on Demand Draft from the bank or

Cash Transaction, Interest etc. and secondly time spent on each call.

We more tried on taking appointment by explaining our planning very

precisely and correctly. Because talking face to face means you can

convince him more easily rather than on phone

58

One more we had to keep in mind was over tone and language. As there

were people who were more comfortable talking with us in regional

language and some were more comfortable in English. So we had to be

prepared in Hindi, English and Rajasthani.

Phone calls also made us to cross check the exact address of the customers.

We made a flexible arrangement to work area wise so to save cost of

conveyance.

2] Post Appointment Preparations: After taking the

appointment we did our home work that is we prepared a written proposal

for the customer on the letter-head of the KOTAK Mahindra Bank so that if

we enter the office of customer we are fully prepared to take any

responsibility of the bank. The written proposal made the difference between

KOTAK Mahindra Bank Ltd. and other banks. The written proposal was a

letter containing an introduction to KOTAK Mahindra Bank an attached

with all the facilities offered by the bank to the associations.

3] Group appointment and Personal appointment: The customers no

doubt work on the principle of no profit no loss. But for the bank they are

high league customer as the fund once deposited in the bank are withdrawn

back in small amount so a large contribution in the calculation of the net

worth of the bank. So it is best to talk each of them separately and convince

them individually.

Also the need of each customer is different and needs to be treated

separately. So the whole process of the selling our product could be

explained by the following steps.

59

{A} Prospecting and Qualifying: That we had discussed that by

collecting the data of prospective customers. The prospective customer can

also be known by the current appointments.

{B} Reproach: The step taken by us to know more and more about

the CUSTOMER and its working. Its current bank account and its goodwill

by the general inquiry or general information. If not collected then also it

doesn't make much difference.

{C} Approach: The step in the selling process in which the salesperson

meets and greets the buyer to get the relationship off of a good start. The

starting lines of our meeting were like "we believe what ever we will discuss

in the next few minutes will definitely beneficial for your organization".

This kind of practical application is only possible by very good marketing

person. It's like positive sign in the starting of the meetings.

{D} Presentation and Demonstration: The step in the selling process in

which the salesperson tells the product "story" to the buyer, showing how

the product will make or save the money for the buyer. Since our product

was more like that only that is how the associations can save money using

our banking relationship.

{E} Handling Objections: The step in the selling process in which the

salesperson seeks out, clarifies and overcomes customer objections to

buying. The directors and secretaries of the associations asked lot of queries

about the profitability of our product and we had to answer and we had to

answer them and convince them at each and every step of the meeting and

satisfy them.

60

{F} Closing: The last but one, step was asking the order from the customer.

Here the decision taker is not a single person but the whole boards of

directors of the society so it is not true to say that we got an account of the

association at the first meeting.

{G} Follow-up: The last step was usually taking time for the follow-up for

the next meeting and it was not less than a week for any CUSTOMER and

that was due to their next meeting. We use to collect the order in the next

meeting or so on.

Gary Armstrong, Pg. 496-497, personal selling and sales management.

PRINCIPLES OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IN BANKING

61

4. Engaged client forms a significant source of continued and

imp0roved growth.

5. An engaged client will actively sell our bank products and services to

other.

6. Engaged client forms a sound commercial foundation for KOTAK

Mahindra Bank's future.

7. Don't keep good news to yourself – inform the client of every

10. Ensure all communications are reviewed before being set to a client.

11. Promote the advantage of KOTAK Mahindra Bank and our products

and not just the features.

12. Understand how the world looks from the clients' point of view.

62

CONCLUSION :

During the survey I found the reason of one important question that why

customers are changing their opening current account behavior towards.

KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK LTD. Some important interpretations are

here.

63

1. The first preference is opening a current / saving account in govt bank

because mostly consumers don’t want to believe and waste their time

in private bank.

2. The factor which is paying the leading role, facilities and

services .mostly consumers are govt. employees so they are more

conscious towards facilities and services.

3. When people go to opening a current account, the brand name of

kotak is not on their minds.

4. People remember the advertisements of ICICI and

5. HDFC more than the ‘KOTAK’ because of advertisement of ICICI

and HDFC. In market ICICI and HDFC have big hoarding and

showrooms, which attract the consumer and leave image on

consumer’s mind.

6. KOTAK advertisements are not coming frequently on both media

electronic and print media in comparison to other brands. So people

easily forget this brand because consumer’s memories are very short.

64

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Here come the gems in hand. Whatever we do; we must do to learn and

implement. The following important things should be kept in mind for the

future.

1. Bank should more concentrate on its advertisement, since for making

a big brand name and sell your product people must remember the

name of KOTAK as a Bank.

65

2. Bank should provide some short term loan facilities to Customers if

they want to attain more customers as giving them helping hand will

help us.

3. In future who so ever is added in the team for the banking relation

with the TASC, the bank must train him/her fully with the law

controlling non government organizations.

4. KOTAK must increase its number of branches in the state.

5. KOTAK must form a committee who should be responsible to cross

check the working of its customers.
