While personal loans provide flexibility, their interest rates range from 14-24%, making repayment challenging. Factors like credit score, income, and employment history influence approval. There are several types of personal loans such as secured, unsecured, student loans, and debt consolidation loans, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Overall, personal loans are suitable for short-term cash needs without collateral but repaying them can be difficult due to high interest.

loan, which can affect customer satisfaction. The main objective of the study was to find out areas
where customers are not satisfied with the service offered by Citifinancial regarding personal loan.
I was required to collect data from existing customers, analyze it, interpret it & make
recommendations which can help Citifinancial to improve on areas where it is lacking & achieve
better customer satisfaction by focusing on such areas.

AIM OF THE STUDY
Personal loans market is growing in India and one should know about this sector. The future looks
good & one can make a good career in this sector.
Now you will ask one question, why I chose Citifinancial only, why not others? The main reason
behind choosing Citifinancial is that it is not the market leader Citifinacial is just a market follower. I
wanted to choose such a company that is growing like Citifiancial. Where I can help the company,
grow more, by helping it focus on such areas where it is lacking as compared to its competitors,
with respect to various aspects of personal loan. This will help the company grow more by satisfying
the customers in a better way through focusing on areas where it can achieve better customer
satisfaction.
All these things inspired me to do project on this area.

DESIGN OF THE STUDY
DESIGN OF THE STUDY
THE PROBLEM: Citifinancial is witnessing below average industry growth with respect to its
personal loans. Despite having a good network of its branches & DSAs in cities where it is present, it
is witnessing a low growth as compared to its competitors.
OBJECTIVE: Citifinancial holds customer dissatisfaction as the main reason beyond low growth in
its personal loans. So, the objective of this study is to find out from the existing customers, whether
they are satisfied with the Citifinancial personal loans or not, where the study will cover customer

reaction with respect to the overall service and each & every aspect of the product such as interest

4. LIMITATIONS: Though the study has covered each & every aspect of customer satisfaction but it
has neglected customer-employee interaction, which contributes highly to the customer satisfaction.
Due to this, though the study may help in finding out the areas where Citifinancial needs to improve
with respect to product features but it will not help Citifinancial in deciding whether to train its
employees or not for deal in a better way with the customers.

PERSONAL
LOANS
6. PERSONAL LOANS
DEFINITIONS:
“An amount of money borrowed from a bank or other lender by an individual”.
“A loan based on a consumer's income, debt and credit history”
“Money lent to an individual by a financial institution for a specific personal purpose except buying a
house. One main difference between a personal loan and a home loan is that most personal loans
are unsecured”.
“A loan obtained by an individual for personal (as opposed to business or investment) purposes. A
personal loan may or may not be secured”.
“A loan that establishes consumer credit that is granted for personal use; usually unsecured and
based on the borrower's integrity and ability to pay”.
A personal loan is a lump sum which you borrow from a bank, building society or another lender. A
personal loan could be the best option for you if you are looking to borrowing money for between 1
and 5 years and is particularly ideal if you have other debts that you're looking to consolidate into
one loan to reduce your overall monthly payments.
The simplest explanation of the use of the word "personal" to describe these types of loans is that
the money that is borrowed is to be used for personal reasons. If the aim of the loan was to finance
the purchase of a home, that is a mortgage. If the purpose of the loan is to help a business to
expand, that is a business loan. If you are taking out a loan to fund something that will be for your
own personal use, or to help you out with personal issues, then that is a personal loan. The best way
to expand on this would be to look at what a personal loan could be used for.
PERSONAL LOANS
A personal loan is an amount of money offered, normally by lending institutions such as banks and
building societies, on the condition that it will be paid back at some later date. Personal loans are
available in a whole host of formats and can range from £500 upwards. The term of the loan is often
dependent on whether the lender requires security to be offered by the borrower and the size of the
regular repayments you wish to make.
Under most personal loan arrangements you receive a lump sum, equal to the amount of the agreed
loan and in return you agree to make regular repayments. These repayments are normally monthly
and cover both the interest due and the capital outstanding loan amount. If you have established the
loan as a 'repayment' type loan then the repayments will include an amount to pay off some of the
capital and reduce your outstanding debt. Payments are made throughout the term of the loan to
ensure that the total debt is repaid to the lending institution.
AMOUNT OF PERSONAL LOAN
7. Amount wise personal loans may range from 15,000 to 10, 00,000.
RATE OF INTEREST
Currently, interest rates across all banks are in range of 10% to 22%. The interest rate usually
depends on two factors:
Amount of loan: Higher the amount lower will be the interest rate & vice verse.
Type of loan: While secured loan carries lower rate where as unsecured loan carries higher rate.
PERSONAL LOANS
USES OF PERSONAL LOAN
The range of uses for the money is very wide indeed. Common uses include the purchase of a new
car, a holiday or the repayment (consolidation) of existing debt.
Frequently the lending institution will ask for details of the reason you require the loan. Although
the purpose of the loan may have little impact on their decision to grant the money, it can have
some influence on the maximum term of the loan.
It is more likely that larger sized loans, for purchases such as cars, home improvements etc. will
result in a longer repayment term. It is not uncommon for the purchase of a car to established with
a repayment term of 3 years whilst the term for home improvement loans can be for much longer
terms (sometimes as long as ten years).
SUITABILITY OF PERSOAL LOAN
If you are looking to borrow money over a period of less than ten years, whether you need the
money for a purchase or perhaps to repay existing debt, then a personal loan may be suitable for
your needs.
Personal loans are just another form of credit. If you are considering a personal loan to run
alongside other forms of personal credit such as overdrafts and credit cards, you must give careful
consideration to whether you will be able to afford the total of your regular payments. When
considering the situation it is wise to take into account your ability to pay were you unable to work
due to illness or should you lose your employment.
PERSONAL LOANS
ACCESSABILITY TO PERSOAL LOAN
8. There are hundreds of potential lenders willing to offer you the opportunity to borrow from them.
However the offer of finance does depend upon your ability to repay the debt and your previous
credit history. Those applicants that have had credit difficulties in the past can find it more difficult
to obtain access to a personal loan compared to those applicants that have a better credit history.
It is normally true that the better the credit risk you are, the easier you will find it to obtain a
personal loan. It is also likely that people who have the best credit histories will be offered the best
deals. This normally means a lower interest rate is charged or the repayment terms are longer.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONAL & BANK LOAN
There isn't much of a difference between a bank loan and a personal loan. They are in essence the
same thing, in that you are borrowing an amount of money from a product provider that you will
repay at agreed intervals with interest added to the sum.
The difference is that a bank specifically provides a bank loan. A few years ago, the bank was one of
the only places a customer could get a loan, which is why people used to say they needed a good
relationship with their bank manager. Obviously, this isn't the case now, as building societies and
many other financial companies also offer loans.

PERSONAL LOANS
TYPES OF PERSOAL LOAN
Unsecured personal loan: Is a debt that you can acquire where you do not have to use any
specific collateral to back the loan. Usually, the people who would be eligible for this type of loan
would be people who do not own a home, or people with bad credit.
An unsecured loan will mean less risk to the person taking out the loan than a secured loan. This is
due to the fact that a person will not have to use their home as insurance for the loan. The negative
aspect of this is that due to the lack of insurance, the interest payments set will be higher, as the
loan provider will need to cover the added risk of not being able to get their money back. A positive
aspect of the unsecured loan could be that your application is processed a lot quicker, so you can
get hold of money more rapidly. This speed is due to the fact that your home will not need to be
valued to make sure your security is available. Another upshot of this is that you can submit an
application, get a reply and answer very quickly to your application, and just because you have
submitted does not mean you are under an obligation to take up the loan.
Secured personal loan: Is a loan that is specifically assigned for home owners. This is where the
home is used as collateral, which is a larger risk for a customer than an unsecured loan, because if
you fall into difficulties or are unable to repay the loan for any particular reason your home is at risk.
One of the most vital points to understand about a secured loan is that it is not best used as a
solution to debt problems, because it is even more important that you have budgeted properly to
9. cover the loan payments. Many people with debt problems have them precisely because they are not
good at budgeting to cover loan payments.
Secured personal loans could be taken out for various reasons. You could want to make home
improvements, for which you can borrow money secured on your home, as you are hopefully
increasing its value. Perhaps it could be for a debt consolidation loan, where you take out a loan for
an amount large enough to pay off several other debts for a longer period

CHAPTER-6
FINDINGS AND
RECOMENDATION
FINDINGS
From the analysis part one can interpret that customers across all groups in the sample are
satisfied with the service offered by Citifinancial except for the interest rate & processing
charges. We have already seen that a very high percentage of customers across all groups in the
30. sample are unsatisfied with the rate of interest & the processing fees being charged by
Citifinancial.
As I interviewed all the customers in the sample, one thing I found is that the main reason behind
such unsatisfaction by a majority of the customers is the high rate of interest being charged by
Citifinancial. It all depends on customer attitude & perception.
People have a tendency of comparing each option with the other option available to them & then
they evaluate. In case of Citifinancial, the same thing has happened. Here also the customers have
perception that the rate charged by Citifinancial is comparatively higher than the rate charged by
other institutions offering personal loans.
If I say that Citifinancial charges 16% interest and I ask whether it is high or low, then you may not
reply as you don’t have other options with which you can compare it. But, say if you have 3 options
viz:
Citifinancial charging 16% interest
ICICI Bank charging 7.5% interest
HSBC charging 15% interest.
FINDINGS
Then in this case you will compare all the options & will definitely think that the rate charged by
Citifinancial is high as compared to others. This is what has exactly happened with Citifinacial.
Same is the case with the processing fees also as customers think that the fees charged by
Citifinancial is very high.
Except for the interest rate & the processing charges, customers are satisfied with all other aspects
of the service being provided by Citifinancial. Only this thing is affecting the customer satisfaction
regarding overall service offered by Citifinancial. There are many customers who are though
satisfied with the overall service of Citifinacial but they are not satisfied with the interest rate &
processing fees being charged by Citifinancial.
This signals a danger for Citifinancial as its customers are not satisfied with the interest rate &
processing charges. As many customers look out for only these two aspects, any other institution
offering personal loan at a low rate may come & takeaway the customers of Citifinancial. This is now
started happening with Citifinancial as its customers are now turning towards its competitors, who
are offering personal loans at a comparatively lower rate.
31. RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
My recommendation will clearly focus on the interest rate & the processing fees being charged by
Citifinancial.
I would not recommend Citifinancial to fix interest rate only according to what the customers want &
neglecting the RBI guidelines. I would not recommend Citifinancial to lower its interest rate but I can
recommend that Citifinancial should try to balance the following three things while fixing the rate:
RBI guidelines
Preference of customers
32. Rates being charged by its competitors
The most important thing is that while fixing the interest rate Citifinancial should not only comply
with the RBI guidelines but it should try to fix it competitively. The rates should be charged
competitively with the rates being charged by the competitors especially the MNC banks.
Since Citifinancial is an MNC, people when come here to take personal loan will definitely compare
it with the personal loans being offered by other MNCs such as HSBC Bank, ABN AMRO Bank,
Standard Chartered Bank, besides comparing it with the personal loans offered by India private
banks & government banks. It is natural as Citifinancial, HSBC Bank, ABN AMRO Bank, Standard
Chartered Bank belong to same category, people will first try to compare any product of Citifinancial
with that of the other three. So, Citifinancial should watch out its competitors especially the MNC
banks which may easily take away its customers.
CHAPTER-7
CONCLUSION
33. CONCLUSION
The whole study shows how customers are satisfied with the personal loans offered by Citifinancial
except for the interest & processing fees part, with which the customers are unsatisfied.
This is not only the picture of south Bangalore but of whole Bangalore & of whole India.
Customers across all cities/tows, wherever Citifinancial is present, are unsatisfied with the rate of
interest & processing fees being charged by Citifinancial.
Citifinancial is now working on it & will soon come out with a new rate that is competitively set & in
accordance to RBI guidelines & customers preference.

34. LEARNINGS
MY LEARNINGS
This project has helped me learn lot of new things. It has helped me to apply all those things, which
I studied only in books.
This project has given me a deep insight into the world of not only personal loans but of consumer
loans as a whole. I came to know about the various aspects of personal loan.
Apart from this it helped me to learn how customer satisfaction studies are carried out. How
research methodology is implemented, how questionnaires are designed, how customers are
interviewed over telephone, how data is collected, how it is analyzed, interpreted & how
recommendations are made on the basis of findings.
To say that all these things that I have learned in books, I have seen it & done it practically. This was
all possible only through this project. This project has really helped to learn a lot about the
corporate world. I hope this will definitely help me in my real job.
