    EXE CUTIV E SUMMARY

    In this project an attempt is made to compare the nationalized & privatized banks within terms of profitability preposition factors used to indicate the health of the bankingsector.

    In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid worldwide consolidation process of thebanking industry. The securitization of markets has broken the traditional link betweentaking deposits and making loans, thereby challenging the domain of old-fashionedbanking, which was based on collection of savings in order to provide capital for entrepreneurial projects. Nowadays large corporations have direct access tointernational capital markets at terms which outperform banks. Thus, banks have tooperate in a world where markets for financial services banking, brokerage as well asinsurance have become increasingly competitive. This development has seriousconsequences from the point of view of traditional banking, since, as Kay (1998)recently wrote,

    The rational for the traditional association of functions that we call a bank hassimply disappeared, and most of these specific functions retail marketing of financial services, financial advice to companies, monitoring the creditworthinessof large companies are better done by some specialist institution that is notnecessarily a bank.

    The new millennium has brought with it challenges and opportunities in various fieldsof economic activities including banking. Indian banking, which was operating in ahighly comfortable environment till the beginning of the 1990s, has been pushed intothe choppy water of intense competition. The modern banking activity is marked byitineraries into un-chartered horizons mingled with risks and heavy competition.Immediately after nationalization, the Public Sector Banks spread their branches toremote areas at a rapid pace Their main objective was to act on behalf of thegovernment to fulfill economic obligations towards the common man. They acted over enthusiastically in penetrating into far-flung and remote corners of the country. Thesocial responsibility that was entrusted upon the Public sector Banks digresses themfrom the profit motive. On the other hand private banks did not make such moves.Instead, they pursued profit making as the objectives for their operations.

    There is some debate about whether profitability measures are appropriate indicators of performance of public sector enterprises who are required to produce socio-economicoutputs that cannot be reflected in the Balance sheet. This is relevant especially for thepublic sector banks in India whose objectives have been more social than economic.However, the policy makers laid emphasis on profitability as an important benchmark through which the performance of public sector banks is to be judged. The improvedprofitability is the only key parameter for evaluating performance from thecustomers & shareholders point of view.

    The focus of the research is to find out the key profitability preposition factors of nationalized banks are better than the privatized banks. Out of the whole banking sector this research has been carried out in Bank of Baroda (nationalized bank) & ICICI bank (privatized bank).

    INDUSTRY PROFIL E

    Banking is the backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of the most important pre-conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The

    world of banking has assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21st

    century with theadvent of tech banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality.

    HISTORY

    Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks wereThe General B ank of India which started in 1786, and the B ank of Hindustan , bothof which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State B ank of India , which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almostimmediately became the Bank of Bengal . This was one of the three presidency banks,the other two being the B ank of B ombay and the B ank of Madras , all three of whichwere established under charters from the British East India Company. The three banksmerged in 1921 to form the Imperial B ank of India which, upon India's independence,became the State Bank of India. Indian merchants in Calcutta established the UnionBank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49.The Allahabad B ank , established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldestJoint Stock bank in India. . HS B C established itself in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was themost active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and sobecame a banking center.

    There are three different phases in the history of banking in India.1) Pre-Nationalization Era.

    2) Nationalization Stage.3) Post Liberalization Era.

    1) PR E- NATIONALIZATION E RA

    In India the business of banking and credit was practices even in very early times. Theremittance of money through Hundies, an indigenous credit instrument, was verypopular. The hundies were issued by bankers known as Shroffs, Sahukars, Shahus or Mahajans in different parts of the country. The modern type of banking, however, wasdeveloped by the Agency Houses of Calcutta and Bombay after the establishment of Rule by the East India Company in 18th and 19thcenturies.

    During the early part of the 19th Century, ht volume of foreign trade was relativelysmall. The government of Bengal took the initiative and the first presidency bank, theB ank of Calcutta (Bank of Bengal) was established in 180. In 1840, the B ank of B ombay and IN 1843, the B ank of Madras was also set up.

    These three banks also known as Presidency Bank. The Presidency Banks had their branches in important trading centers but mostly lacked in uniformity in their operational policies. In 1899, the Government proposed to amalgamate these three

    banks in to one so that it could also function as a Central Bank, but the PresidencyBanks did not favor the idea. However, the conditions obtaining during world war period (1914-1918) emphasized the need for a unified banking institution, as a result of which the Imperial Bank was set up in1921. The Imperial Bank of India acted like aCentral bank and as a banker for other banks.

    The R B I (Reserve Bank of India) was established in 1935 as the Central Bank of theCountry. In 1949, the Banking Regulation act was passed and the RBI was nationalizedand acquired extensive regulatory powers over the commercial banks.

    In 1950, the Indian Banking system comprised of the RBI, the Imperial Bank of India,Cooperative banks, Exchange banks and Indian Joint Stock banks.

    2) NATIONALIZATION STAG E

    After Independence, in 1951, the All India Rural Credit survey, committee of Directionwith Shri. A. D. Gorwala as Chairman recommended amalgamation of the ImperialBank of India and ten others banks into a newly established bank called the State B ank of India (SBI). The Government of India accepted the recommendations of thecommittee and introduced the State Bank of India bill in the Lok Sabha on 16th April1955 and it was passed by Parliament and got the presidents assent on 8th May 1955.The Act came into force on 1st July 1955, and the Imperial Bank of India wasnationalized in 1955 as the State Bank of India.

    Name of the B ank Subsidiary with effect from1. State Bank of Hyderabad 1st October 19592. State Bank of Bikaner 1st January 19603. State Bank of Jaipur 1st January 19604. State Bank of Saurashtra 1st May 19605. State Bank of Patiala 1st April 19606. State Bank of Mysore 1st March 19607. State Bank of Indore 1st January 19688. State Bank of Travancore 1st January 1960

    Later the Government nationalized six more commercial private sector bankswith deposit liability of not less than Rs. 200 corers on 15th April 1980, viz.

    1. Andhra Bank.2. Corporation Bank.3. New Bank if India.4. Oriental Bank of Commerce.

    3) POST LI B E RALIZATION E RA

    In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known asNew Generation tech - savvy banks , and included Global Trust B ank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Axis Bank , ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank.

    The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation inthe norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may begiven voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%, at present it has goneup to 74% with some restrictions. The new policy shook the Banking sector in Indiacompletely. Bankers, till this time, were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%; Lendat 6%; Go home at 4) of functioning. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook andtech-savvy methods of working for traditional banks.

    In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stakein Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time aninvestor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBIannounced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector bankswould need to be vetted by them.

    B ANKING S E CTOR - PR E SE NT (2010)

    Indian banking industry stood firm and resilient amid the global crisis on the back of itsimproved productivity since the mid-1990s and a robust regulatory and supervisoryframework. The Industrys financial soundness indicators remained strong with the

    Return on Average Assets (ROAA) at 1.13%, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) at13.98% and Net NPA ratio at 1.05% as at end-March, 2009.

    During the year FY10, the banking industry posted a decent business and financialperformance despite several challenges. For instance, the scheduled commercial banks(SCB) Aggregate Deposits grew by 17.1% (y-o-y). Within this, the term deposits grewby 16.2%, primarily due to a sharp decline in interest rates offered on term deposits byseveral banks. As credit growth was quite muted until November, 2009, the banksstruggled to protect their net interest margins by reducing the pressure on cost of deposits. A slower growth in term deposits resulted in a slower growth of broad moneysupply or M3 by 16.8% (y-o-y) during FY10. However, the banks demand depositsgrew healthily by 22.8% (y-o-y) during FY10 reflecting the industrys .Asset quality of

    Indian banks too remained largely stable during the year FY10 except for a few banks..

    As a result, foreign and new private banks grow at rates of 50 per cent, while PSBsimprove their growth rate to 15 per cent. The share of the private sector banks(including through mergers with PSBs) increases to 35 per cent and that of foreignbanks increases to 20 per cent of total sector assets. The share of banking sector valueadds in GDP increases to over 7.7 per cent, from current levels of 2.5 per cent. Fundingthis dramatic growth will require as much as Rs. 600 billion in capital over the next fewyears.

    B ANKING S E CTOR - FUTUR E

    INDIAN BANKING stands at the threshold of a mega change in the next five years.Many new situations as compared to the present scenario are predicted to emerge. Thelast decade has seen many positive developments in the Indian banking sector. Thesector now compares favorably with banking sectors in the region on metrics likegrowth, profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). A few banks have establishedan outstanding track record of innovation, growth and value creation. The failure torespond to changing market realities has stunted the development of the financial sector in many developing countries. A weak banking structure has been unable to fuelcontinued growth, which has harmed the long-term health of their economies. Further,the inability of bank managements (with some notable exceptions) to improve capitalallocation, increase the productivity of their service platforms and improve theperformance ethic in their organizations could seriously affect future performance.

    A THRUST AR E A

    Standard & Poor's, which compares Indian and Chinese banking, prescribes risk management as a thrust area for the former. McKinsey, however, suggests differentgoals (and ways of achieving them) to different sets of bankers public sector, oldprivate, new private and foreign while visualizing different scenarios of Indianbanking five years from now. The Independent Commission of Bank Officers analyses,in detail, the issues that had hampered the Indian banking system in the past and argueshow the Government's recent proposals foreign direct investment (FDI) andconsolidation of public sector banks will not ensure systemic transparency andefficiency as projected.

    POT E NTIAL SC E NARIOS

    In an interesting futuristic study, McKinsey uncovers "three potential scenarios'' thatcould emerge in the banking sector.

    y The first is a "high performing'' scenario, where policy makers intervene only to theextent required to ensure system stability and protection of consumers' interest, andbank managements step up the drive for far-reaching change.

    y In the second, "evolving'' scenario, policy makers adopt a pro-market stance but arecautious on pushing reform. The share of the banking sector value added would be 4.7per cent of GDP.

    y And in the third scenario stagnating policy makers intervene to set restrictiveconditions and management is unable to execute changes to deliver value toshareholders or customers. Here, the share of the banking sector value added would beonly 3.3 per cent of GDP.

    Public sector banks are those in which the Government of India or the RBI is a majorityshareholder. These banks include the State Bank of India (SBI) and its subsidiaries,other nationalized banks, and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs). Over 70% of theaggregate branches in India are those of the public sector banks.

    The motives for nationalized banks are social as well as economic. Nationalizedbanks, charged with operating in the public interest, may be under strong political andsocial pressures to give much more attention to externalities. They may be obliged tooperate some loss making activities where social benefits are clearly greater than socialcosts - for example, rural postal and agriculture loan & dues.

    The nationalized banks have the support & backing of the government. Thegovernment provides the subsidies to these banks to fulfill their socio-economicobligations. The customers in the public banks are provided more attention & are dealtwith personal touch & care. The interests rates provide by these banks are low ascompared to the public sector banks but the money in these banks is fully secured.Therefore the majority of customers prefer the public sector banks.

    Some of the leading banks in this segment include:

    y Allahabad Bank y Canara Bank y Bank of Maharashtray Central Bank of Indiay Indian Overseas Bank y State Bank of Indiay State Bank of Patialay State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur y State Bank of Travancorey Bank of Baroday Bank of Indiay Oriental Bank of Commercey UCO Bank y Union Bank of Indiay Dena Bank y Corporation Bank.

    PRIVAT E SE CTOR B ANKS

    Private sector Banks are essentially comprised of two types: the old and the new.

    Private Banks offer banking services to high net-worth individuals. Private bankingservices are largely related to asset management; that is, a private banking institutionassists the high net-worth individual in investing his/her money in exchange for commissions and fees. Private banking combines some of the services of a brokeragewith normal banking services.

    The main aim of these banks is profit making by providing fast & easy servicesto the customers. Though private banks charge high but they provide better services tothe customers though latest technology. They provide better returns as compared to thepublic sector banks. These banks suffer from high employee turnover. They dont havethe backing & support of the government. Therefore private sector banks dont havehuge customers base.

    The old private sector banks comprise those, which were operating beforeBanking Nationalization Act was passed in 1969. On account of their small size, andregional operations, these banks were not nationalized. These banks face intense rivalryfrom the new private banks and the foreign banks. The banks that are included in thissegment include:

    y Bank of Madura Ltd. (now a part of ICICI Bank)y Bharat Overseas Bank Ltd.y Bank of Rajasthany Karnataka Bank Ltd.y Lord Krishna Bank Ltd.y The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltdy The Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltdy The Federal Bank Ltd.y The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd.y The Karur Vysya Bank Ltd.y The Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd.y Vysya Bank.

    The new private sector banks were established when the Banking RegulationAct was amended in 1993. After the initial licenses, the RBI has granted no morelicenses. Currently, these banks are on an expansion spree, spreading into semi-urbanareas and satellite towns. The leading banks that are included in this segment include:

    y Bank of Punjab Ltd.y Centurion Bank Ltd.y Global Trust Bank Ltd.y HDFC Bank Ltd.y ICICI Banking Corporation Ltd.y IDBI Bank Ltd.y IndusInd Bank Ltdy UTI Bank Ltd.

    25/87

    25

    B ANKS PROFITA B ILITY PR E POSITION FACTORS

    The following are the key factors in ascertaining the profitability of nationalized &privatized banks.

    1. Capital adequacy ratio

    2.

    Non-performing asset ratio3. Credit to deposit ratio4. Provision coverage ratio5. Return on assets ratio6. Return on Equity7. Statutory Liquidity Ratio8. Cost-Income Ratio9. CASA10. Net interest Margin

    1. CAPITAL AD E QUACY RATIO: A bank's capital ratio is the ratio of qualifying

    capital to risk adjusted (or weighted) assets. The RBI has set the minimum capitaladequacy ratio at 9% for all banks. A ratio below the minimum indicates that the bank is not adequately capitalized to expand its operations. The ratio ensures that the bank donot expand their business without having adequate capital. The minimum CAR is 9%,the higher the better it is.

    2. NON - P E RFORMING ASS E T RATIO: The net NPA to loans (advances) ratio isused as a measure of the overall quality of the banks loan book. An NPA are thoseassets for which interest is overdue for more than 90 days (or 3 months). Net NPAs arecalculated by reducing cumulative balance of provisions outstanding at a period endfrom gross NPAs. Higher ratio reflects rising bad quality of loans. The NPA ratio is oneof the most important ratios in the banking sector. It helps identify the quality of assetsthat a bank possesses. The lower the NPA, the better it is.

    3. CR E DIT TO D E POSIT RATIO: This ratio indicates how much of the advanceslent by banks are done through deposits. It is the proportion of loan-assets created bybanks from the deposits received. The higher the ratio, the higher the loan-assetscreated from deposits. Deposits would be in the form of current and saving account aswell as term deposits. The outcome of this ratio reflects the ability of the bank to makeoptimal use of the available resources. Higher CD ratios reflect more credit being givenout, lower the CD better.

    4. PROVISION COV E RAG E RATIO: The key relationship in analyzing assetquality of the bank is between the cumulative provision balances of the bank as on aparticular date to gross NPAs. It is a measure that indicates the extent to which the bank has provided against the troubled part of its loan portfolio. A high ratio suggests thatadditional provisions to be made by the bank in the coming years would be relativelylow (if gross non-performing assets do not rise at a faster clip).

    26/87

    26

    5. R E TURN ON ASS E TS RATIO: Returns on asset (ROA) ratio is the net income(profits) generated by the bank on its total assets (including fixed assets). The higher the proportion of average earnings assets, the better would be the resulting returns ontotal assets.

    The formula for return on assets is:

    6. R E TURN ON E QUITY: It is the relationship between net income and stockholders' funds. The ratio of a company's net income as a percentage of shareholders' funds. It is probably the most widely used measure of how well acompany is performing for its shareholders. It is calculated by dividing the net incomeshown on the income statement (usually of the past year) by shareholders' equity,which appears on the balance sheet:

    Net income / Owners' equity = Return on equity

    7. STATUTORY LIQUIDITY RATIO : SLR is the amount of liquid assets, such ascash, precious metals or other short-term securities, that a financial institution mustmaintain in its reserves. The SLR is commonly used to contain inflation and fuelgrowth, by increasing or decreasing it respectively. This counter acts by decreasing or increasing the money supply in the system respectively

    SLR Rate = Total Demand/Time Liabilities x 100%

    This percentage is fixed by the Reserve Bank of India. The maximum andminimum limits for the SLR are 40% and 25% respectively.

    8. COST-INCOM

    ERATIO: The cost/income ratio is an efficiency measure similar tooperating margin. Unlike the operating margin, lower is better. t is useful to measure

    how costs are changing compared to income - for example, if a bank's interest incomeis rising but costs are rising at a higher rate looking at changes in this ratio willhighlight the fact. The cost/income ratio reflects changes in the cost/assets ratio and ininterest margin. The lower the better it is.

    Cost-income ratio is= Operating expenses/operating income

    9. CASA: CASA stands for Current and Savings account. Different kinds of deposits -current account, savings account and term deposits - form the major source of funds for banks. The CASA ratio shows how much deposit a bank has in the form of current and

    saving account deposits in the total deposit.

    10. N E T INT E R E ST MARGIN: NIM represents the percentage difference betweenthe interest income produced by a bank's earning assets (loans and investments) and itsmajor expense-interest paid to its depositors. The net difference between interest earnedand interest paid is a key measure of bank profitability. The higher the NIM, the better it is. .

    R E ASONS

    1. Capital adequacy ratio - ICICI bank has high CAR as compared to BOB due toprivate ownership. It is in the newly established bank & is in the phase of expansion sothe inflow is high which results in high capitalization & thus high CAR.On the other hand the BOB has low CAR because it is a 102 year old bank & is established bank.The inflow limited & smooth as provide by the government policies. Still the CAR iswell above the minimum requirement & it is adequately capitalized.

    2. Non - performing asset ratio - The NPA of BOB is quiet low as compared to ICICI

    bank due to the highly experienced & quality sales force. Their main aim is to fulfill thesocio-economic obligations rather than profit making. They strictly follow the rules &regulations of the bank & no bogus business is done. They are more successful inupgrading the NPA to performing categories. On the other hand high NPA is the major problem of ICICI. Their main aim is profit making & the sales force is new & nothighly experienced. In order to fulfill the profit motive fake & bogus accounts arecreated which later become dormant & thus results in high NPA.

    3. Credit to deposit ratio - BOB has low CD ratio as compared to ICICI bank becausethe loan & advances on the deposits are given only after fulfilling all the documentalprocess as per rules & regulation as specified by BOB. On the other hand high CD ratiois 2 nd major problem with the ICICI bank. This is due to the reason that they give loans& advances on small deposits to achieve their profit motive.

    4. Provision coverage ratio - BOB has high Provision coverage ratio as compared toICICI bank as the loans & advances given to according to the strict rules & regulationswhich are recovered easily & if not then the government provides the backing. On the

  • 8/7/2019 PRADEEP final Prjct report

    28/87

    28

    other hand ICICI bank has low provision coverage ratios as they give more loans &advances even on small deposits which they fail to recover after certain period.

    5. Return on assets ratio - It is similar for both the bank yet it is better for BOB inspiteof giving low returns on loans & deposits to the customers. The customer prefers BOBdue to safety & security reasons & they have the government support.

    6. Return on E quity - ICICI bank has high ROE as compared to BOB as they providehigh rate of returns to the customers & still they have low customers base. On the other hand BOB as low ROE due to rate of return as they have to follow the governmentpolicies. Still the customers prefers the BOB as they provide better safety, security &have the government support.

    7. Statutory Liquidity Ratio - BOB as low SLR as compared to ICICI bank but still itis high. This is due to the reason that bank needs to maintain the minimum SLR & has

    to invest in GOI & other approved securities & also they have high cash reserve ratio.On the other hand ICICI bank has even higher SLR due to its high cash reserve ratios.

    8. Cost - Income Ratio - BOB has low Cost income ratio as compared to ICICI bank asthey have low operating cost as they dont spend much on training & promotionalactivities. On the other hand ICICI bank has high operating cost as they spend high ontraining, technology & promotion.

    9. CASA - ICICI bank have high CASA as compared to BOB because their minimum

    balance requirements are high & have high service charges in order to make profits. Allthis adds to their high CASA. On the other hand BOB have low CASA as they havevery low minimum balance requirements. Most of the services are free in BOB whichresults in low CASA. Despite of all these BOB has got good CASA.

    10. Net interest Margin - BOB has high NIM as compared to ICICI bank as they earnin volume. They earn on their loan & advances in volume rather than on deposits. Onthe other hand ICICI bank has low NIM as they earns in margin that they charge to thecustomers.

    On the whole 7 out of 10 are better for the BOB as compared to ICICI bank. So thecustomers prefer the BOB over ICICI bank.

    In short nationalized banks are still preferred over the privatized by the customers.

    funds in the Capital Markets and advising on mergers and acquisitions. Banks are nowmoving towards Universal Banking, which is a combination of commercial banking,investment banking and various other activities including insurance.

    I am confident that India will become a Developed Nation by 2020. Come,let us strive together to turn this resolve into reality Atal Bihari Vajpayee

    1. CHANG E S IN TH E STRUCTUR E OF B ANKS

    The financial sector reforms ushered in the year 1991 have been well calibrated andtimed to ensure a smooth transition of the system from a highly regulated regime to amarket economy. The first phase of reforms focused on modification in the policyframework, improvement in financial health through introduction of various prudentialnorms and creation of a competitive environment. The second phase of reforms startedin the latter half of 90s, targeted strengthening the foundation of banking system,streamlining procedures, upgrading technology and human resources development andfurther structural changes. The financial sector reforms carried out so far have made the balance sheets of banks look healthier and helped them move towards achievingglobal benchmarks in terms of prudential norms and best practices.

    y Public Sector Banks had, in the past, relied on Government support for capitalaugmentation. However, with the Government making a conscious decision toreduce its holding in Banks, most Banks have approached the capital marketfor raising resources. This process could gain further momentum when thegovernment holding gets reduced to 33% or below. It is expected thatpressures of market forces would be the determining factor for theconsolidation in the structure of these banks . If the process of consolidationthrough mergers and acquisitions gains momentum, we could see the emergenceof a few large Indian banks with international character. There could be somelarge national banks and several local level banks. Mergers, acquisitions,strategic alliances / partnerships could be one way to achieve this.

    y Rationalization of a very large network of branches, which at present hasrendered the system cost ineffective and deficient in service, would take place.Most of the banks would have adopted core-banking solutions in a fully

    networked environment. Back office functions would be taken away frombranches to a centralized place. While brick and mortar branches wouldcontinue to be relevant in the Indian scenario, the real growth driver for costcutting would be virtual branches viz., ATMs, Internet Banking, mobilebanking, kiosks etc., which can be manned by a few persons and run on 24 x 7basis to harness the real potential of these technological utilities, there will bestrategic alliances / partnership amongst banks and this phenomenon hasalready set in.

    y The composition of bank staff will change . As total computerization willrender a part of the workforce surplus, banks will go for a rightsizing exercise.Some may resort to another round of VRS to shed excess flab while some other may go for re-deployment to strengthen marketing arms. With greater use of technology and outsourcing of services in different areas, the manpower recruitment will mostly be in specialized areas and technology applications.With commitment shifting from the organization to the profession, we could seegreater lateral movement of banking personnel. Training and skill developmentwill, however, continue to be key HR functions. With the age profile of staff undergoing changes, banks will have to focus on leadership development andsuccession planning. Knowledge management will become a critical issue.

    y Management structure of banks will also undergo drastic changes in thecoming years. Instead of the present pyramid structure, the banks will movetowards reduction in tiers to ultimately settle for a flat structure. Product-wisesegmentation will facilitate speedier decision-making.

    2. T E CHNOLOGY

    Technology will bring fundamental shift in the functioning of banks. It would not onlyhelp them bring improvements in their internal functioning but also enable them toprovide better customer service. Technology will break all boundaries and encouragecross border banking business. Banks would have to undertake extensive BusinessProcess Re-Engineering and tackle issues like:

    a) How best to deliver products and services to customers

    b) Designing an appropriate organizational model to fully capture the benefits of technology and business process changes brought about.

    c) How to exploit technology for deriving economies of scale and how to create costefficiencies, and d) how to create a customer - centric operation model.

    y INT E RN E T B ANKINGInternet banking (or E-banking) means any user with a personal computer and abrowser can get connected to his bank -s website to perform any of the virtualbanking functions. In internet banking system the bank has a centralizeddatabase that is web-enabled. All the services that the bank has permitted on theinternet are displayed in menu. Any service can be selected and further interaction is dictated by the nature of service. The traditional branch model of

    bank is now giving place to an alternative delivery channels with ATMnetwork. Once the branch offices of bank are interconnected through terrestrialor satellite links, there would be no physical identity for any branch.

    y AUTOMAT E D T E LL E R MACHIN E (ATM)ATM is designed to perform the most important function of bank. It is operatedby plastic card with its special features. The plastic card is replacing cheque,personal attendance of the customer, banking hours restrictions and paper based verification. There are debit cards. ATMs used as spring board for

    3. PRODUCT INNOVATION & PROC E SS R E-E NGIN EE RING

    With increased competition in the banking Industry, the net interest margin of bankshas come down over the last one decade. Product innovations and process re-engineering will be the order of the day. The changes will be motivated by the desire tomeet the customer requirements and to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of service. All banks will therefore go for rejuvenating their costing and pricing tosegregate profitable and non-profitable business.

    As banks strive to provide value added services to customers, the market will see the

    emergence of strong investment and merchant banking entities. Product innovation andcreating brand equity for specialized products will decide the market share andvolumes. New products on the liabilities side such as forex linked deposits;investment - linked deposits , etc. are likely to be introduced, as investors with variedrisk profiles will look for better yields. R isk management products like options,swaps, and derivative products and will offer a variety of hedge products to thecorporate sector and other investors. There will be more and more of tie-ups betweenbanks, corporate clients and their retail outlets to share a common platform to shore uprevenue through increased volumes.

    4. R E GULATORY & L E GAL E NVIRONM E NT

    The advent of liberalization and globalization has seen a lot of changes in the focus of Reserve Bank of India as a regulator of the banking industry. De-regulation of interestrates and moving away from issuing operational prescriptions have been importantchanges. The focus has clearly shifted from micro monitoring to macro management.Supervisory role is also shifting more towards off-site surveillance rather than on-siteinspections. The focus of inspection is also shifting from transaction-based exercise torisk-based supervision. In a totally de-regulated and globalised banking scenario, astrong regulatory framework would be needed. The role of regulator would be criticalfor:

    y Ensuring soundness of the system by fixing benchmark standards for capitaladequacy and prudential norms for key performance parameters.y Adoption of best practices especially in areas like risk-management,

    provisioning, disclosures, credit delivery, etc.y Adoption of good corporate governance practices.y Creation of an institutional framework to protect the interest of depositors.y Regulating the entry and exit of banks including cross-border institutions.

    SEBI has introduced the facility of making application through APPLICATIONSUPPORTED BY BLOCKED AMOUNT process, in book built public issue. ASBA

    is an application containing an authorization to block the application money in the bank account, for subscribing to an issue. If an investor is applying through ASBA, hisapplication money shall be debited from the bank account only if his/her application isselected for allotment after the basis of allotment is finalized, or the issue iswithdrawn/failed. In case of rights issue his application money shall be debited fromthe bank account after the receipt of instruction from the registrars. Merchant bankers,Registrars and Self Certified syndicate banks(SCSBs) are advised to provide the ASBAfacility in rights issues with suitable modifications to ASBA process specified by SEBIfor public issue through book building route, as deemed fit. SCSB is a bank which isrecognized as a bank capable of providing ASBA services to investors.

    The lists of SCSBs are as below.

    y Axis Bank y Bank of Baroday Corporation Bank y HDFC Bank y ICICI Bank Ltdy IDBI Bank Limitedy Kotak Mahindra Bank y State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur y State Bank of Indiay Union Bank of Indiay Yes Bank Limited

    The objective of introducing ASBA is to ensure that the investor's funds leave his bank account only upon allocation of shares in public issues. The ASBA process also ensuresthat only the requisite amounts of funds are debited to the investor's bank account onallotment of shares. In this mechanism, the need for refunds is completely obviated.

    Research problem can be formulated on the basis of nature and variables. Initially theproblem may be stated in a broad way and than the ambiguities, if any, relating to theproblem be resolved. Then the feasibility of a particular solution has to be consideredbefore a working formulation of the problem can be setup. Essentially two steps areinvolved in formulating the research problem, viz, understanding the problemthoroughly, and rephrasing the same in to maniple terms from an analytical point of view.

    The best way of understanding of problem is to discus it with once on colleagues or with those having some expertise in matters. In the academic institution the researcher can seek the help from a guide who is usually an experienced man and has severalresearch problems in mind. In private business units or in governmental organization,the problem is usually earmarked by the administrative agencies.

    The New World has ensured survival of the Fittest. New products & services are theorder of the day, in order to stay ahead in the rat race. Banks are now foraying into netbanking, securities, consumer finance, treasury market, merchant banking, mutualfunds & insurance.

With the plethora of productscurrently flooding the banking sector, banks are finding it more difficult than ever todistinguish their products from those offered by different types of banks.

    The banking sector in India has made remarkable progress since the economic reformsin 1991. New private sector banks have brought the necessary competition into theindustry and spearheaded the changes towards higher utilization of technology,improved customer service and innovative products. Customers are now becoming

    increasingly conscious of their rights and are demanding more than ever before. Therecent trends show that most banks are shifting from a product-centric model to acustomer-centric model as customer satisfaction has become one of the major determinants of business growth. In this context, prioritization of preferences and closemonitoring of customer satisfaction have become essential for banks. Keeping these inmind, an attempt has been made in this study to analyze the factors that are essential ininfluencing the investment decision of the customers of the public sector banks. For this purpose, Factor Analysis, which is the most appropriate multivariate technique, hasbeen used to identify the groups of determinants. Factor analysis identifies commondimensions of factors from the observed variables that link together the seeminglyunrelated variables and provides insight into the underlying structure of the data.Secondly, this study also suggests some measures to formulate marketing strategies tolure customers towards banks.

    For the above research work extensive literature survey of the topic is done. For thepurpose various books, journals, magazines, websites etc in the given bibliography arereferred.

    It is found that good amount of work is done in similar area. There are various theoriesgiven about the banking like banking theory, banking methods, banking credibilitytheories, different models of banking.

    This has helped to understand the fundamentals of the study and to have the deepunderstanding of the research problem.
