Banking
1. CHAPTER: 1
INTRODUCTION
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru has said “To awake people it is the women who must
be awakened. Once she is on the move, the family moves, the village moves and
the nation moves.”
The census report on 2011 revealed that there has been an 18.12% increase in
the population of women. Women are vital part of the Indian economy
constituting one third of the national labor force and a major contributor to the
survival of family.
Historically women have had less to do with financial decisions than men and
their saving and investment volume has also been lower. However that is
changing .The modern Indian women is a financially savvy individual who
prefers to make her own independent decisions when it comes to finances. By
seeing this drastic change, today’s market is flooded with women centric
financial products to cater her specific needs, whether she is working women or
a home maker.
Banks also came forward to take advantage of women centric schemes and them
also working for empowering women. Banks understand that women needs
financial literacy inputs more than men, as they are deprived of the various
experiences dealing with money matters and generally have low ownership of
financial and other assets. Moreover many of them do not leave their homes and
2. thus do not interact with market forces, thus losing out on valuable experience in
dealing with money matter. In the absence of the awareness ,knowledge
,capability about the financial and processes,the banking facilities created at
substantial costand effort may not be utilized and customers continuous to
expose themselves to various risk of overdebtdedness ,inadequate cushioning
from loss of income and asset.
Banking in our country is already witnessing the see changes as the banking
sectorseeks new technology and its application .The best part is that benefits are
beginning to reach the masses. Automatic Teller Machine or popularly known as
ATM are the three alphabets that have changed the conceptof banking like
nothing before.
The Reserve Bank of India is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the
country and has the responsibility to control the banking system in the country
.It keeps the reserves of all commercial banks and hence is known as ‘Reserve
Bank of India ’.
Banking sectorplays an important role in the economic development of the
country like:
Bank mobilizes the small savings of the people and makes them available
for productive purposes.
Promotes the habit of savings among the people thereby offering
attractive rates of interest on their deposits.
Provides safety and security to the surplus money of the depositors and as
well provides a convenient and economical method of payment.
Banks provide convenient means of transfer of fund from one place to
another.
3. Helps the movement of capital from regions where it is not very useful to
regions where it can be more useful.
Banks advances exposure in trade and commerce, industry and agriculture
by knowing their financial requirements and prospectus.
Banks act as an intermediary between the depositors and the investors.
The study conducted by World Bank reveals that ‘in India, only 26% women
have an account with formal financial institution, compared with 46% of men’.
That means an account in either a bank, a credit union co-operation, postoffice
or a microfinance institution. Also for women per capita credit is 80per cent
lower than males.
Recently on 19th November 2013 Bharatiya Mahila Bank has been setup with a
special mandate to serve the women of the country by meeting their financial
needs and by ensuring that financial inclusion of women is undertaken
extensively. The bank’s tagline is “Empowering women – Empowering India”.
Factors influencing empowerment is assumed to be a dependent variable which
is assumed to be influenced by several independent factors such as biographical
factors and microfinance factors. Various influencing factors like age, marital
status, education, occupation, type of family, span of association with SHG,
amount of loan received, repayment schedule, adequacy of capital, timely
disbursement of loan, years in business, monthly income etc.
Financial education is critical to the success ofproductuptake both as a
consumer protection—ensuring that clients understand their accounts and how to
use them—and also as a tool to increase asset building and there is also a need to
4. understand their lives, the culture in which they live and work their role as care
giver and financial needs and goals.
Now a day banks designed more women centric products keeping in mind the
core strength of Women so as to enable them to unleash their hidden potentials,
engage in economic activities and contribute to economic growth of the country.
Most of products are offered with a concessionin the rate of interest for women
customers. Banks also conductprograms on financial literacy skill development,
training for women of all segments of the society so that women in turn generate
more income more jobs and growth opportunities and contribute significantly for
the economic growth of the nation.

9. CHAPTER: 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
In the study conducted by Uppal R.K. (2010) about the topic “extent of
mobile banking in Indian industry” studies the extent of mobile banking in
Indian banking industry during2000-2007. The study concludes that
among all e-channels, ATM is the most effective while mobile banking
does not hold a strong position in public and old private sectorbut in new
private sectorbanks and foreign banks m-banking is good enough with
nearly 50 pc average branches providing m-banking services. The study
also suggests some strategies to improve m-banking services.
In the study conducted by Ayadi (1996) on the topic, “Customers
perception of service quality “concluded that female bank customers are
engaged in lesser banking activities than male customers due to lower
income. It is reported that customers' perception of service quality is very
important for managers to compete in the market Customers' perception of
service quality is strongly dependent on customers' values and beliefs that
vary from one culture to another It is found that gender affects the service
quality perception of bank customers and they show a varied response
towards different dimensions of service quality Similarly, a varied pattern
10. of customer satisfaction and behavioral outcomes is observed among male
and female bank customers.
NIBM (1986) in the study conducted about“All India saving and
deposits, trends and pattern” conducted a large-scale survey to study the
behavior of households and to develop appropriate marketing strategies
for deposit mobilization and found that banking is largely a habit of
literate Indians. Majority of the non-bank savers is illiterates. The level of
awareness of bank depositschemes is quite low among rural non-bank
savers. The study stresses the need for adopting appropriate marketing
strategies to penetrate untapped market for deposits.
K.V Kammath (1984) conducted a study about the ‘mechanization in
banking industry’. The study reveals that, the biggest opportunity for the
Indian banking system today is the Indian consumer demographic shift in
terms of income levels and cultural shifts in terms of life style aspiration
and changing the profile of the Indian consumer. This is and will be key
driver of economic growth going forward.
A report based on the address by Dr. Deepali Pant Joshy (2011)in the
article “gender and financial inclusion policy” , recognized that societies
which discriminate by gender trend to experience less rapid economic
growth and poverty reduction than societies which treat men and women
equally. Empowerment as an enabling process must lead to economic as
well as social transformation and to an enlargement of the choice
available to women.
11. Dr. Chidambaram (1996) in his study on “services marketing challenges
and strategies” suggested that banks should become technology friendly.
By investing in bank can satisfy both employees and customer.
Professionalised well trained and motivated employees will improve that
marketability of a bank.
Krishnaveni R (2006) in her study “Need for development of customer
relationship” recognize the need to develop term relationship with customer
to prosperin competitive environment. Banks have realized the need to
adopta people oriented approach as compared to solely the profit oriented
approachtowards improving customer services.
P.Ramalingam (2005) in his study “Attitude of bank towards women’”
reveals that several banks have now started offering special deposit
schemes for women with an aim to help women to overcome the fear of
managing their own wealth.
A study by Jeyarathnam about “empowerment of women through
microfinance” concluded that the conceptof empowerment is associated
with emancipation and autonomy of individuals who are economically
poorby providing with financial services and financial benefits. It can be
assumed that empowerment is in proportion to the concerted efforts of the
Government through SHGs. he study has been undertaken with objectives
like to analyze the extent and level of empowerment of women SHGs, to
make up SWOT analysis of sample SHGs respondents.
Pallavi Chavan in the evaluation study on ‘Micro Finance and Financial
Inclusion of Women’ conducted the study using secondaryand primary
data on SHGs. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate SHGs as
12. a means of financial inclusion of the groups/regions excluded from the
formal financial system in this connection, the study looks at the issues of
geographical spread of micro finance institutions and SHGs, access and
affordability of micro finance for women borrowers and movement of
women borrowers.

30. SUGGESTIONS
The bank and NGOs can educate the people both on the ways of meeting
their financial objectives through financial protection and wealth creation.
It would be beneficial and convenient for the women if banks create
awareness about available banking services and its products.
GOVT shall motivate the banks for conducting financial guidance by
promoting funds or subsidies for programs.
It is beneficial helps to earn goodwill to bank, if it motivate and inculcate
the entrepreneurship qualities in women.
The grievances should be handled with due care and in friendly manner.
Efforts should be made to study the causes of financial exclusion and
design strategies to ensure financial inclusion of the poorand
disadvantaged.
31. CONCLUSION
The BANKING sector in India has becomestronger in terms of capital and the
number of customers. It has becomeglobally competitive and diverse aiming at
providing better services to its customer. Most of the customers are aware of few
Personal banking products like Home Loan, Savings Account, Education loan
and they are not aware of products like Loan against Shares & Debentures, Loan
against Mortgage of Property and various other innovative banking facilities.
For issues where overall confidence is high but significant proportions
of respondents reported behavior that could not be said to be
financially literate, therefore financial education initiatives have been
gaining momentum recently; policymakers now see a stronger rationale to build
financial education into high schooland college curricula, and seek greater
participation from the private sector in this endeavor.
