Abstract—A home loan is a long term commitment which is critical. There are lot many banks and financial institutions through which one can
easily avail a home loan. Using customer view assessment and evaluation, various housing finance establishments can focus on the issues most
important to the customer and understand points of service strength and weaknesses as viewed by the customer. Consequently, the housing
finance sector, as a whole, can develop pertinent service-oriented performance measures and improve the quality of the service offered to
society to levels consistent with customer expectation.The study aims at studying the customers’ perception on the home loans offered by HDFC
Limited, the factors influencing customers in choosing a housing finance agency, reasons for pre closure of home loans and customers’ opinion
about the Electronic Clearing Service of HDFC Limited.The study is based on descriptive research and follows convenience sampling with a
sample size of 150. Primary data is used in the study which is collected through a structured questionnaire.On a majority, the customers agree
that the people’s service, products and processes are effective. The company can improve the service of updating repayments and conveying
information about RBI guidelines and interest rate changes by enabling automatic generated SMS or e-mails to be sent or through tele calling
the customers within a time limit of one or two weeks. The major factors that influence customers in choosing housing finance company are
competitive interest rate, flexible repayment system, progressive funding and prepayment penalty, which if focused by HDFC can attract new
customers and can also retain loyal customers in the long run. Awareness about the home loan products can be created through display boards
within the office and newspaper inserts.
Keywords—Housing finance, Perception, Pre closure, Choice
I. INTRODUCTION
A home loan is a long term commitment of 15-20
years, several factors like expertise, quality of service,
in-depth domain knowledge and the company’s level of
commitment and transparency right through, the loan
procedures, the fine print, quality of services offered and
safe retrieval of the title deed are critical. There are lot
many banks and financial institutions through which one
can easily avail of a home loan at reasonable rate of
interest. The success of a business depends upon its
ability to attract and retain customers that are willing to
purchase goods and services at prices that are profitable
to the company. Consumer perception describes how
customers and potential customers view a company and
its products and services. Consumer perception is
important to businesses since it can influence consumer
behaviour, which ultimately affects the profitability of a
business.
II. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
Customer perceptions are influenced by a variety of
factors. Besides the actual outcome i.e. did the product
or service deliver the expected function and did it fulfil
the customers need – the whole process of consumption
and all interactions involved are of crucial importance. In
today’s globalised information driven economy this can
also comprise issues like:
How other customers or influencing
groups perceive the product or brand
The degree to which the customer feels
the actual marketing campaign addresses
the most important issues
Responsiveness and service quality of any
affiliates, e.g. distribution partners

A. Consumer Perception Process
Fig.1 Consumer Perception Process
Exposure
Exposure, the first step of the perception process,
occurs when a stimulus comes within the range of the
senses. Exposure is therefore simply the minimum
requirement of perception. Exposure to stimuli is of
either an intentional or an accidental nature. Intentional
exposure occurs when an individual is exposed to
market-related information because of his own
intentional, goal-directed behaviour, i.e. it reflects a
person’s interests, reading habits, information needs and
life style. Accidental exposure to stimuli occurs when the
individual is exposed to intensive marketing campaigns,
such as the messages portrayed by the broadcasting
media, billboards and the vast number of magazine and
newspaper advertisements.
Attention
Attention is of crucial importance, since no matter
how often a consumer is exposed to marketing stimuli, if
no attention takes place, the message is of no use.
Attention to a given stimulus has taken place only if a
consumer notices or attends to the stimulus.
Organisation
People do not experience the numerous stimuli they
select from the environment as separate and discrete
sensations. They rather tend to organise them into groups
and perceive them as unified wholes.
Interpretation
Interpretation is a process whereby people draw upon
their experience, memory, and expectations to interpret
and attach meaning to stimulus. The interpretation phase
is uniquely individual, since it is based upon what
individuals expect to see in the light of their previous
experience, on the number of plausible explanations they
can envision, and on their interests and motives at the
time perception occurs.
Retention
Retention is the process by which the consumers
remember the stimulus that they have noticed and
interpreted through their experiences. Consumers retain
the memory that they have gained through their attention
and prepare to focus on it.
Purchase and Consumption Decision
The purchase decision depends on considerations
such as terms of sale, past experience buying from the
seller and return policy. It will be also influenced by the
atmosphere, time pressure, a sale and pleasantness of the
experience.
B. Aspects of Measuring Customer Perceptions
First of all the company has to find out how it and its
offerings are perceived by the customers. This
information is of greater value if it can be compared to
the customers’ perception of competitive offerings. Not
only will this reveal relative strengths and weaknesses, it
is also a valuable source of ideas for improvement.
Besides that, surveys should also identify the relative
importance of several influencing variables in the eyes of
Attention
Organisation
Interpretation
Retention
Purchase and Consumption
Decision
Exposure

the customer. To know what matters most to the
customer helps to set priorities for projects. It should be
based on careful customer segmentation. Customer
groups that differ by frequency of use, social status,
geographical region or other criteria, are likely to have
different expectations and preferences. Hence, they will
probably perceive an offering in different ways.
C. The 3 P’s in driving Customer Perception
In every organization, regardless of the industry it
belongs to and its nature of business, there are three key
factors that influence customer’s perception towards the
organization. Coincidentally all of them start with the
letter ―P‖ – Product, People and Process.
Product
The types of products and/ or services offered by an
organization will affect customer’s perception and
experience. In this dynamic business world, organization
needs to evolve constantly and continuously in meeting
customer’s needs. In organizations that constantly strive
to offer products and/ or services that meet customers’
demands, the Marketing or in some cases, also the R&D
department plays a vital role.
People
As any customer service front line would agree, the
―People‖ element is viewed as the most important factor
in driving customer perception. Front liners such as the
Contact Centre and Sales Agents are the ambassadors of
the organizations. The actions they take; the choices of
words they use when interacting with customers; the
behavior they display when handling customers, would
affect the customer’s perception towards the
organization.
Process
In order to function in a structured and manageable
manner, organizations cannot avoid but to put in place
different processes, which include policies and
procedures. Whenever an organization intends to change
or revise its processes, the first thing is to think in the
customer’s shoes.
D. Benefits of a Customer Perception Study
It enables fact-based decision making about the
business
Helps understand what customers like about the
company and why
Identifies opportunities for improvement
Prioritises changes based on customer feedback
Strengthens customer relationships
Measures effectiveness of advertising and PR
programmes
Develops a focused and effective
communications programme
Benchmarks against the competitors
