4. PREFACE
Without practical training, management education is meaningless so long with the theory;
practical training is provided to management students to expose them to the actual working
environment of any organization. Such training provides a framework of knowledge
relating to the concepts and practices of the assigned topics in the organization.
The summer training is an integral part of the course curriculum of Master of Business
Administration (M.B.A. 3rd
sem). In this the student is in the position to analyze the integral
working of an organization with mature eyes and understand the dynamics in a much better
manner.
This particular project has been conducted at HDFC Bank. In the first phase of the research
project, there is a introduction of Banking, company profile and products of HDFC Bank
are given. After that a market research is performed with a sample size of 100 people. The
research study was limited to Rudrapur. Here, in my survey, I have contacted the
respondents through personal interviews with the help of questionnaires.
The main objective of the research is to know the customer satisfaction level and their
perception regarding HDFC Bank and to know the customer awareness regarding the
HDFC Bank’s products.
HDFC Bank should lay more stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other
media. Opening up the sector will certainly mean new products, better packaging and
improved customer service. Both new and existing players will have to explore new
distribution and marketing channels. Potential buyers for most of Banks lie in the middle
class. Competitors must segment the market carefully to arrive at appropriate products and
pricing. Recognizing the potential, in the past three years, the nationalized Banks have
already begun to target niches like pensions, women, children and rural peoples.

HDFC must advertise regularly and create brand value for its products and services. Most
of its competitors like ICICI, Axis, kotak Mahindra and nationalized banks use television
advertisements to promote their products. The Indian consumer has a false perception about
private banks – they feel that it would not safe.
Safety and returns are the two main reasons people invest in banks. On the whole HDFC
bank is a good place to work at. Every new recruit is provided with extensive training on
the products of HDFC. This training enables an advisor/sales manager to market the
policies better. The company should try to create awareness about itself in India. . With an

36. INTRODUCATION TO THE STUDY
Customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction refers to how satisfied customers are with the products or services
they receive from a particular agency. The level of satisfaction is determined not only by
the quality and type of customer experience but also by the customer’s expectations.
A customer may be defined as someone who
• has a direct relationship with, or is directly affected by your agency and
• Receives or relies on one or more of your agency’s services or products.
Customers in human services are commonly referred to as service users, consumers or
clients. They can be individuals or groups. An organization with a strong customer service
culture places the customer at the centre of service design, planning and service delivery.
Customer centric organizations will:
 Determine the customer’s expectations when they plan listen to the customer as
they design.
 Focus on the delivery of customer service activities value customer feedback when
they measure performance.
It’s importance
There are a number of reasons why customer satisfaction is important in Banking Sector:
• Meeting the needs of the customer is the underlying rationale for the
existence of community service organizations. Customers have a right to
quality services that deliver outcomes.
• Organizations that strive beyond minimum standards and exceed the
expectations of their customers are likely to be leaders in their sector.
• Customers are recognized as key partners in shaping service development
and assessing quality of service delivery.
The process for measuring customer satisfaction and obtaining feedback on organizational
performance are valuable tools for quality and continuous service improvement.

37. INTRODUCATION TO BANKING
Banking means accepting the deposits from the customers for lending to the needy and
extending the other services as to issue of dd etc.nowadays after introduction of private
sector banks the banks have become a profit centre and the functions become changed
and now banks are doing the insurance and mutual funds also. but nationalised banks
are still service oriented in extending loans for Education loan, and rural development
activities.
A Bank is an organization which lends money to the borrowers for a purposeful task,
and provides a facility to deposit and withdraw money when needed and charge for it.

38. HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA
Phase I
The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came 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 India was
established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders.
In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab
National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. 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.
During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic
failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 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 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of
India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as the
Banking Authority.
During those days public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit
mobilisation was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal
department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders.
Phase II
Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In
1955, it nationalised 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 and to handle banking transactions of the Union and State
Governments all over the country.
Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalised in 1960 on 19th
July, 1969, major process of nationalisation was carried out. It was the effort of the then
Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country
were nationalised.
Second phase of nationalisation 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.
The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking
Institutions in the Country:
1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act.
1955: Nationalisation of State Bank of India.
1959: Nationalisation of SBI subsidiaries.
38 | P a g e

39. 1961: Insurance cover extended to deposits.
1969: Nationalisation of 14 major banks.
1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation.
1975: Creation of regional rural banks.
1980: Nationalisation of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore.
After the nationalisation of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to
approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.
Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and
immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.
Phase III
This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its
reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set
up by his name which worked for the liberalisation of banking practices.
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
entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than
money.
The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any
crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries
suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high,
the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited
foreign exchange exposure.

Here we more concerned about private sector banks and competition among them. Today,
there are 27 private sector banks in the banking Sector: 19 old private sector banks and 8
new private sector banks. These new banks have brought in state-of-the-art technology and
aggressively marketed their products. The Public sector banks are facing a stiff
competition from the new private sector banks. The banks which have been setup in the
1990s under the guidelines Of the Narasimham Committee are referred to as NEW
PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS.

41. INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRIES
The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reach
US$1 trillion by 2010. An expanding Economy, middle class, and technological
innovations are all Contributing to this growth.
The country’s middle class accounts for over 320 million people. In correlation with the
growth of the economy, rising income levels, increased standard of living, and affordability
of banking products are promising factors for continued expansion.
The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution, focusing on the
expansion of retail and rural banking. Players are becoming increasingly customer -
centric in their approach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new
banking products and services. Banks are now realizing the importance of being a big
player and are beginning to focus their attention on mergers and acquisitions to take
advantage of economies of scale and/or comply with Basel II regulation. “Indian
banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010 and are poised to
receive a greater infusion of foreign capital,” says Prathima Rajan, analyst in Celent's
banking group and author of the report.“The banking industry should focus on having a
small number of large players that can compete globally rather than having a large number
of fragmented players."

64. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
It is said, “Nothing is perfect” and if the quite is true, I am sure that there would be few
shortcoming in this project also. Sincere efforts have been made to eliminate discrepancies
as far as possible but few would have reminded due to limitations of the study. These are:
 The research was carried out in a short period.
 Limited sample size.
 The information given by the respondent might be biased some of them might not
be interested to give correct information.
 Some of the respondents of the survey were unwilling to share information.
64 | P a g e

65. CONCLUSION
At the end I would like to conclude that The Indian banking market is growing at an
astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. HDFC bank had a
network of 4,014 branches And 11,766 automated teller machines in 2,464 cities in India..
The majority of customers are satisfied. But the bank should target on the rest of the
customers who are not satisfied. The customers are aware about the bank’s services but the
Bank should try to create more awareness among people. HDFC Bank should lay more
stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other media for this purpose. Number of
formalities should reduce, as customer feels irritated with lots of formalities and it will save
the time of customer and Bank also.
