INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC
Service with a smile: Today‟s finicky banking customers will settle for nothing less. The
customer has come to realize somewhat belatedly that he is the king. The customer‟s
choice of one entity over another as his principal bank is determined by considerations of
service quality rather than any other factor. He wants competitive loan rates but at the
same time also wants his loan or credit card application processed in double quick time.
He insists that he be promptly informed of changes in deposit rates and service charges
and he bristles with „customary rage‟ if his bank is slow to redress any grievance he may
have. He cherishes the convenience of impersonal net banking but during his occasional
visits to the branch he also wants the comfort of personalized human interactions and
facilities that make his banking experience pleasurable. In short he wants financial house
that will more than just clear his cheque and updates his passbook: he wants a bank that
cares and provides great services. So does HDFC bank meet these heightened
expectations? What are the customers‟ perceptions of service quality of the banks?
Which dimension of service quality of HDFC bank is performing well? To find out
answers to these questions I undertook a survey of 2 branches of HDFC bank. A lot of
surveys have been done in the past to understand the aspect of customer satisfaction and
to find out the customer friendly banks. My research is conducted to find out “SERVICE
QUALITY OF HDFC BANK”.

Service Sector is the lifeline for the social economic growth of a country. It is
today the largest and fastest growing sector globally contributing more to the global
output and employing more people than any other sector.
The real reason for the growth of the service sector is due to the increase in
urbanization, privatization and more
demand for intermediate and final
consumer services. Availability of quality
services is vital for the well being of the
economy.
In advanced economies the growth
in the primary and secondary sectors are
directly dependent on the growth of
services like banking, insurance, trade,
commerce, entertainment etc.
The service sector is going through
almost revolutionary change, it
dramatically affects the way in which we live and work. New services are continually
being launched to satisfy consumers existing needs and to meet the Needs that they do
not even know they had. Ten years ago people did not anticipate the need for email,
online banking, web hosting, online reservation and many other new services, but today
many of us feel we cannot survive without them. Similar transformations are happening
in Business to business marketing. Service organisations vary widely in size. At one end
are the huge international corporations operating in industries such as tourism, airlines,
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

banking, telecommunication etc whereas on the other end of the scale is a vast array of
locally owned and operated small businesses including parlours , hotels , laundry n
numerous business to business services.
How important is the service sector in an economy?
 In most countries services add more economic value than agriculture, raw
materials and manufacturing combined.
 In developed economies employment is dominated by service jobs and
most new job growth comes from services.
 Jobs range from high paid professionals and technicians to minimum wage
positions.
 Service organisations can be any size, from huge global corporations to
local small businesses.
 Most activities by govt. agencies and nonprofit orgs involve service.

Service Sector in India:
In alignment with the global trends, Indian service sector has witnessed a major boom
and is one of the major contributors to both employment and national income in recent
times. The activities under the purview of the service sector are quite diverse. Trading,
transportation and communication, financial, real estate and business services,
community, social and personal services come within the gambit of the service industry.
Service sector in India accounts for more than half of India‟s GDP. According to data for
the financial year 2008, the share of services, industry and agriculture in India‟s GDP is
53.7% 29.1% and 17.2% respectively.
The various sectors that combine together to constitute service industry in India are
stated as under:
 Trade
 Hotels and restaurants
 Railways
 Other transport and storage
 Communication (post and telecom)
 Banking
 Insurance
 Dwellings, real estate
 Business services
 Public administrations, defence
 Personal services
 Community services

INTRODUCTION TO BANKING SECTOR
A bank is an institution that deals with money and credit. Different people
understand meaning of a bank in different ways. For a common man, bank is a storehouse
where money is stored, for a businessman it is a financial institution and for a day to day
customer it is an institution where he can deposit his savings. Banks play an important
role in the economy of any country as they hold the savings of the public. Provide means
of payment for goods and services and provide necessary finance for development of
business and change. Thus bank is a link in the flow of funds from the savers to the users
hence they should render efficient customer service in order to retain the present
customers and also to attract the potential customer.
In the past the banks did not face any attraction in the Indian economy because of
the low level of the economic activities and the little business prospects. Today we find
positive changes in the national business development policy. Earlier the moneylenders
had a strong hold over the rural population which resulted in exploitation of small and
marginal savers. The private sector banks failed in serving the society. This resulted in
the nationalisation of 14 commercial banks in 1969.
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

There was a basic change in the banking concept with a beginning in the
nationalisation of big commercial banks. The involvement of public sector banks,
transformed the Indian economy.
The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized (government
owned), private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India
acts a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system.
Since the nationalization of banks in 1969, the public sector banks or the nationalized
banks have acquired a place of prominence and has since then seen tremendous progress.
The need to become highly customer focused has forced the slow-moving public sector
banks to adopt a fast track approach. The unleashing of products and services through the
net has galvanized players at all levels of the banking and financial institutions market
grid to look anew at their existing portfolio offering. Conservative banking practices
allowed Indian banks to be insulated partially from the Asian currency crisis. Indian
banks are now quoting a higher valuation when compared to banks in other Asian
countries (viz. Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines etc.) that have major problems linked
to huge Non Performing Assets (NPAs) and payment defaults. Co-operative banks are
nimble footed in approach and armed with efficient branch networks focus primarily on
the „high revenue‟ niche retail segments.
The Indian banking has finally worked up to the competitive dynamics of the
„new‟ Indian market and is addressing the relevant issues to take on the multifarious
challenges of globalization. Banks that employ IT solutions are perceived to be
„futuristic‟ and proactive players capable of meeting the multifarious requirements of the
large customer‟s base. Private Banks have been fast on the uptake and are reorienting
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank
8
their strategies using the internet as a medium The Internet has emerged as the new and
challenging frontier of marketing with the conventional physical world tenets being just
as applicable like in any other marketing medium.
The Indian banking has come from a long way from being a sleepy business
institution to a highly proactive and dynamic entity. This transformation has been largely
brought about by the large dose of liberalization and economic reforms that allowed
banks to explore new business opportunities rather than generating revenues from
conventional streams (i.e. borrowing and lending). The banking in India is highly
fragmented with 30 banking units contributing to almost 50% of deposits and 60% of
advances. Indian nationalized banks (banks owned by the government) continue to be the
major lenders in the economy due to their sheer size and penetrative networks which
assures them high deposit mobilization. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized
into nationalized, private banks and specialized banking institutions.
The Reserve Bank of India acts as a centralized body monitoring any
discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. It is the foremost monitoring body in the
Indian financial sector. The nationalized banks (i.e. government-owned banks) continue
to dominate the Indian banking arena. Industry
estimates indicate that out of 274 commercial
banks operating in India, 223 banks are in the
public sector and 51 are in the private sector.
The private sector bank grid also includes 24
foreign banks that have started their operations
here.

The liberalize policy of Government of India permitted entry to private sector in
the banking, the industry has witnessed the entry of nine new generation private banks.
The major differentiating parameter that distinguishes these banks from all the other
banks in the Indian banking is the level of service that is offered to the customer. Their
focus has always centred around the customer – understanding his needs, pre-empting
him and consequently delighting him with various configurations of benefits and a wide
portfolio of products and services. These banks have generally been established by
promoters of repute or by „high value‟ domestic financial institutions.
The popularity of these banks can be gauged by the fact that in a short span of
time, these banks have gained considerable customer confidence and consequently have
shown impressive growth rates. Today, the private banks corner almost four per cent
share of the total share of deposits. Most of the banks in this category are concentrated in
the high-growth urban areas in metros (that account for approximately 70% of the total
banking business). With efficiency being the major focus, these banks have leveraged on
their strengths and competencies viz. Management, operational efficiency and flexibility,
superior product positioning and higher employee productivity skills.
The private banks with their focused business and service portfolio have a
reputation of being niche players in the industry. A strategy that has allowed these banks
to concentrate on few reliable high net worth companies and individuals rather than cater
to the mass market. These well-chalked out integrates strategy plans have allowed most
of these banks to deliver superlative levels of personalized services. With the Reserve
Bank of India allowing these banks to operate 70% of their businesses in urban areas, this
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

statutory requirement has translated into lower deposit mobilization costs and higher
margins relative to public sector banks.
The three major changes in the banking sector post liberalization are:
 Step to increase the cash outflow through reduction in the statutory
liquidity and cash reserve ratio.
 Nationalized banks including SBI were allowed to sell stakes to private
sector and private investors were allowed to enter the banking domain.
Foreign banks were given greater access to the domestic market, both as
subsidiaries and branches, provided the foreign banks maintained a minimum assigned
capital and would be governed by the same rules and regulations governing domestic
banks.
 Banks were given greater freedom to leverage the capital markets and
determine their asset portfolios. The banks were allowed to provide advances against
equity provided as collateral and provide bank guarantees to the broking community

Banking sector in India
Banks are now the most significant players in the Indian
financial market. They are the biggest purveyors of credit,
and they also attract most of the savings from the
population. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized
into nationalized (government owned), private banks and
specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India
acts a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and
shortcoming in the system.
The need to become highly customer focused has
forced the slow-moving public sector banks to adopt a fast track approach. The
unleashing of products and services through the net has galvanized players at all levels of
the banking and financial institutions market grid to look anew at their existing portfolio
offering. Driven by the socialist ideologies and the welfare state concept, public sector
banks have long been the supporters of agriculture and other priority sectors. They act as
crucial channels of the government in its efforts to ensure equitable economic
development.
The liberalize policy of Government of India permitted entry to private sector in the
banking, the industry has witnessed the entry of nine new generation private banks. The
major differentiating parameter that distinguishes these banks from all the other banks
in the Indian banking is the level of service that is offered to the customer. Their focus

has always centred around the customer – understanding his needs, pre-empting him
and consequently delighting him with various configurations of benefits and
a wide portfolio of products and services. These banks have generally been established
by promoters of repute or by „high value‟ domestic financial institutions. Today, the
private banks corner almost 4% share of the total share of deposits
TYPES OF BANKS
There are various types of banks which operate in our country to meet the financial
requirements of different categories of people engaged in agriculture, business,
profession, etc. On the basis of functions, the banking institutions in India may be divided
into the following types:
Types of Banks
a) Central Bank (RBI, in India)
b) Development Banks
c) Specialized Banks (EXIM Bank, SIDBI, NABARD)
d) Commercial Banks
(i) Public Sector Banks
(ii) Private Sector Banks
e) Co-operative Banks
(i) Central Co-operative Banks
(ii) State Co-operative Banks
Now let us learn about each of these banks in detail.
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank
13
a) Central Bank
A bank which is entrusted with the functions of guiding and regulating the
banking system of a country is known as its Central bank. Such a bank does not deal with
the general public. It acts essentially as Government‟s banker; maintain deposit accounts
of all other banks and advances money to other banks, when needed. The Central Bank
provides guidance to other banks whenever they face any problem. It is therefore known
as the banker‟s bank. The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of our country.
The Central Bank maintains record of Government revenue and expenditure under
various heads. It also advises the Government on monetary and credit policies and
decides on the interest rates for bank deposits and bank loans. In addition, foreign
exchange rates are also determined by the central bank. Another important function of the
Central Bank is the issuance of currency notes, regulating their circulation in the country
by different methods. No other bank than the Central Bank can issue currency.
b) Commercial Banks
Commercial Banks are banking institutions that accept deposits and grant short-
term loans and advances to their customers. In addition to giving short-term loans,
commercial banks also give medium-term and long-term loan to business enterprises.
Now-a-days some of the commercial banks are also providing
housing loan on a long-term basis to individuals. There are also
many other functions of commercial banks, which are discussed
later in this lesson.

Types of Commercial banks: Commercial banks are of three
types i.e., Public sector banks, Private sector banks and Foreign
banks.
(i) Public Sector Banks: These are banks where majority
stake is held by the Government of India or Reserve Bank of
India. Examples of public sector banks are: State Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Bank
of Baroda and Dena Bank, etc.
(ii) Private Sectors Banks: In case of private sector banks majority of share capital
of the bank is held by private individuals. These banks are registered as companies with
limited liability. For example: The Jammu and Kashmir Bank
Ltd., Bank of Rajasthan Ltd, Development Credit Bank Ltd,
Lord Krishna Bank Ltd., Bharat Overseas Bank Ltd, Global
Trust Bank, Vysya Bank, etc.
(iii) Foreign Banks: These banks are registered and have their headquarters in a
foreign country but operate their branches in our country. Some of the foreign banks
operating in our country are Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC),
Citibank, American Express Bank, Standard & Chartered Bank, Grindlay‟s Bank, etc.
The number of foreign banks operating in our country has
increased since the financial sector reforms of 1991.

c) Development Banks
Business often requires medium and long-term capital for purchase of machinery
and equipment, for using latest technology, or for expansion and modernization. Such
financial assistance is provided by Development Banks. They also undertake other
development measures like subscribing to the shares and debentures issued by
companies, in case of under subscription of the issue by the public. Industrial Finance
Corporation of India (IFCI) and State Financial Corporation‟s (SFCs) are examples of
development banks in India.
d) Co-operative Banks
People who come together to jointly serve their common interest often form a co-
operative society under the Co-operative Societies Act. When a co-operative society
engages itself in banking business it is called a Co-operative Bank. The society has to
obtain a license from the Reserve Bank of India before starting banking business. Any
co-operative bank as a society is to function under the overall supervision of the
Registrar, Co-operative Societies of the State. As regards banking business, the society
must follow the guidelines set and issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
Types of Co-operative Banks
There are three types of co-operative banks operating in our country. They are
primary credit societies, central co-operative banks and state co-operative banks. These
banks are organized at three levels, village or town level, district level and state level.
(i) Primary Credit Societies: These are formed at the village or town level with
borrower and non-borrower members residing in one locality. The operations of each
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank
16
society are restricted to a small area so that the members know each other and are able to
watch over the activities of all members to prevent frauds.
(ii) Central Co-operative Banks: These banks operate at the district level having
some of the primary credit societies belonging to the same district as their members.
These banks provide loans to their members (i.e., primary credit societies) and function
as a link between the primary credit societies and state co-operative banks.
(iii) State Co-operative Banks: These are the apex (highest level) co-operative banks
in all the states of the country. They mobilize funds and help in its proper channelization
among various sectors. The money reaches the individual borrowers from the state co-
operative banks through the central co-operative banks and the primary credit societies.
e) Specialized Banks
There are some banks, which cater to the requirements and provide overall
support for setting up business in specific areas of activity. EXIM Bank, SIDBI and
NABARD are examples of such banks. They engage themselves in some specific area or
activity and thus, are called specialized banks.
(i) Export Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank):
If you want to set up a business for exporting products
abroad or importing products from foreign countries for sale in
our country, EXIM bank can provide you the required support
and assistance. The bank grants loans to exporters and importers and also provides
information about the international market. It gives guidance about the opportunities for
export or import, the risks involved in it and the competition to be faced, etc.
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

(ii) Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI):
If you want to establish a small-scale business unit or industry, loan on easy terms
can be available through SIDBI. It also finances modernization of small-scale industrial
units, use of new technology and market activities. The
aim and focus of SIDBI is to promote, finance and
develop small-scale industries.
(iii) National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD):
It is a central or apex institution for financing agricultural and rural sectors. If a person is
engaged in agriculture or other activities like handloom weaving, fishing, etc. NABARD
can provide credit, both short-term and long-term, through regional rural banks. It
provides financial assistance, especially, to co-operative credit, in the field of agriculture,
small-scale industries, cottage and village industries handicrafts and allied economic
activities in rural areas.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
MEANING
Customer satisfaction means taking complete care of customer by giving them
complete knowledge about the product and about all the feature of that particular product
Customer satisfaction is the end result of your interaction with the customer.
By giving the best customer service and making sure that the customer was given the best
resolution at the end of the call, then we can say that the customer is satisfied even if it's
not verbally said.
According to me customers are those who pay (salary). Satisfaction is the key to
hold the customer for future business. Complete knowledge must be given; each and
every query must be clarified by the seller. If a customer remembers you for future
business then we can say that customer is satisfied.
DEFINITION
According to Harold E Edmondson “Customer satisfaction” is defined as "the
number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a
firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals.".
Customer satisfaction is defined by whether the customer chooses to do business
with you or your company in the future. Many factors play a role in customer
satisfaction, including customer service, product quality and the ease of doing business.
Companies must consider customer satisfaction as an important role in the lifetime value
of a customer.
Customer satisfaction, a term frequently used in marketing, is a measure of how
products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. In a
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank
19
survey of nearly 200 senior marketing managers, 71 percent responded that they found a
customer satisfaction metric very useful in managing and monitoring their businesses.
It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is often part of a Balanced
Scorecard. In a competitive marketplace where businesses compete for customers,
customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator and increasingly has become a key
element of business strategy.
SEVEN STEPS:
 Encourage face-to-face dealings.
 Respond to messages promptly and keep yours clients informed.
 Be friendly and approachable.
 Have a clearly-Defined customer service policy.
 Attention to details.
 Anticipate your client‟s needs and go out of your way to help them out.
 Honor your promise
MEANING OF CUSTOMER SERVICE
Serving your customer with a smile on your face, even when things don‟t go right.
DEFINITION OF CUSTOMER
 A person, company or other entity which buys goods and services produced
by another person, company or other entity.
 One who regularly or repeatedly makes purchases of a trader, a purchase a
buyer.

DEFINITION OF CUSTOMER SERVICE
According to Jack Speer “Excellent customer service is the process by which your
organization delivers its services or products is way that allows the customer to access
them in the most efficient, fair, cost effective and humanly satisfying and pleasurable
manner possible”.
Customer service is a common term we are familiar with which means one who
aids or provides helps to the purchase of goods and service.
ADVANTAGE
Customer comments, suggestions and response about a company‟s products,
business practices and customer service orientation are one of the biggest advantages of
customer feedback surveys. Critical input and answer can help a company to develop
better customer relation programs.

DISADVANTAGE
Customer feedback surveys and questionnaires can sometimes be too scientific
and methodical to capture to humane instincts and traits of consumer. Rigorous analysis
and interpret ion of feedback and answers provided by customers might not provide the
right kind insights that business not to better serve customer.
IMPORTANCE
Since sales are the most important goal of any commercial enterprise. It become
necessary to satisfy customer for customer satisfaction it is necessary to establish and
maintain certain important characteristics like:
a) Quality
b) Fair prizes
c) Efficient delivery
d) Good customer handling skills
e) Serious consideration of consumer complaints
Satisfaction is the feeling of pleasure or disappointment attained from comparing
a product perceived performance (outcome) in relation to his or her expectations. The
customer is dissatisfied. If the performance matches the expectation, the customer
satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations the customer is highly satisfied.

BENEFITS
Customer satisfaction, as a construct, has been fundamental to marketing for over three
decades. As early as 1960, Keith (1960) defined marketing as “satisfying the needs and
desires of the consumer”. Hunt (1982) reported that by the 1970s, interest in customer
satisfaction had increase to such an extent that over 500 studies were published. This
trend continued and by 1992, Peterson and Wilson estimated the amount of academic and
trade articles on customer satisfaction to be over 15,000.
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase,
from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successful
marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know the
time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he may
store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Gone
are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer‟s beware or when the market
was mainly the seller‟s market. Now the whole concept of consumer‟s sovereignty

prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. In
this sense, “consumer is the supreme in the market”.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or
international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behaviour affect the
demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the
production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and
success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
The consumer behaviour suggest how individual, groups and organization select, buy, use
and dispose of goods, services, ideas or experience to satisfy their needs and wants. It
also clues for improving or introducing products or services, setting price, devising
channels etc. Since liberalization 100% FDI is allowed in India. This has attracted foreign
companies to penetrate the Indian market. The marketers always look for emergent trends
that suggest new.
As a consumer we are all unique and this uniqueness is reflected in the consumption
pattern and process purchase. The study of consumer behaviour provides us with reasons
why consumers differ from one another in buying using products and services. We
receive stimuli from the environment and the specifics of the marketing strategies of
different products and services, and responds to these stimuli in terms of either buying or
not buying product. In between the stage of receiving the stimuli and responding to it, the
consumer goes through the process of making his decision.

Marketing mix of HDFC
Housing Development Finance Corporation, which is popularly known as HDFC in
India, established in the year 1978, and has been an active participant in financial and
supportive financial activities across the nation for companies and services of various
sectors. HDFC gained popularity as a private bank in 1994, during a period when India
was going through a financial overhaul, and the whole structure was being privatized and
liberalized for the betterment of financial framework.
Since then it has grown and matured as a bank, so much so that now it has become one of
the premium banks in the nation with the most reliable clientele. Thoughtful marketing,
introduction of good financial products, aggressive expansion and most importantly,
excellent service is the reason that HDFC is amongst the top 2 banks of India. (ICICI and
HDFC are always at loggerheads)
This article discusses the marketing mix of HDFC. The marketing mix is very much
responsible for the growth of the company and this marketing mix has made it one of the
most coveted banks in India.
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

Product in the marketing mix of HDFC
HDFC offers mainly banking services, but there are many financial products which it
offers along with banking. HDFC ergo, HDFC life and HDFC home loans are some of
the products. In total, the financial product portfolio of HDFC is huge. The USP of
HDFC is that it designs competitive products which guarantees great response from the
market and an almost unlimited longevity for business life. In terms of a banking, its
product are its services, like netbanking and ATM, and being a major bank, HDFC has
planned its products in proportion with the ever increasing customer‟s needs, demands
and expectations.
Apart from offering accounts, it has carried forward its namesake of being a housing
finance corporation, and offers large variety of loans for purchasing houses, construction,
re-construction, buying housing land, apartments etc. with maximum loan cover of up to
85%, and maximum repayment period of up to 20 years which is a major propulsion
factor for it as a bank. Being into the services business, the major support for the product
lies in its distribution. Thus, after the product, the place and distribution of HDFC bank
services is most important for the success of HDFC.
Place in the marketing mix of HDFC
The bank has an amazing 3488 branches in 2231 cities across the world. It is
headquartered in Mumbai, India. HDFC bank has 11,426 ATM‟s across India.
Furthermore, the banks services are delivered not only through ATMs or branches, but
also through an excellent netbanking service, phone banking, mobile banking and SMS
banking. HDFC ensures that it has a presence so that it can concentrate on its huge

commercial clientele along with being present for its retail clients. Banking is an intricate
function as it includes certain confidential and security invoking processes that are to be
carried on a regular basis, and they are done with minimal margin of errors, that cannot
function in an unsafe environment. To make sure that all the daily confidential processes
are duly met, placing these facilities becomes a very thoughtful function in itself, and
HDFC has overcome these challenges by placing its operational premises at some of the
most easily accessible locations across cities and towns, that are made available to its
large number of account holders at strategically planned branches.
Price in the marketing mix of HDFC
HDFC is known to hold major market share in the banking sector of India, and this is
because of reasonable yet profit invoking price structure for its services, which is justified
to an extent, as every corporation has to sustain inflation and overcome market hurdles.
HDFC bank has premium competitive pricing. When compared with national and PSU
bank, the pricing is premium, because the minimum amount required to open an account
is high. But at the same time, there are many rules, like home load interest, which are as
per RBI guidelines and are competitive in nature. Thus, prices for these products are in
control by the market and not by the corporation. It provides reasonable loans at
maximum repayment tenure and at par interest rates to both old and new customers.
Apart from regular charges, it does not charge anything for miscellaneous and associated
functions such as cheque replacement, advance loan repayment, take over etc. that
justifies a lot. Thus, in some places HDFC is premium priced, whereas in others it is
evenly priced as per competition.
Service Quality Of HDFC Bank

Promotion in the marketing mix of HDFC
From the very beginning, HDFC has planned and executed its promotional activities in a
manner that has suited its service catalogue, and has maintained a 360 degree approach in
planning its commercials, campaigns and marketing activities in general. These
promotional activities include variety of subtle television commercials with a message, a
recent and innovative method of promotion by placing signboards and milestones in the
rural portions of country in local/native language, and placing “No Parking” boards
outside residential and commercial buildings, that has promoted its connection with the
masses and making prospective client base associated with the name i.e. HDFC. HDFC
uses undifferentiated marketing techniques, it mainly focuses on introducing its financial
products to everyone. Because banking in general, is a mass market product. However,
for the HNI customers, well trained relationship managers, wealth managers are used to
retain the HNI clients with HDFC. Thus, this service too is a promotional product for
HDFC. At the end, the promotions are focused on one thing only – to spread the name of
HDFC far and wide.

IMPORTANCE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study would try to throw some insights into the existing services provided by the
banks, perceptions and the actual service quality of the bank. The results of the study
would be able to recognize the lacunae in the system and thus provide key areas where
improvement is required for better performance and success ratio. In the days of intense
competition, superior service is the only differentiator left before the banks to attract,
retain and partner with the customers. Superior service quality enables a firm to
differentiate itself from its competition, gain a sustainable competitive advantage, and
enhance efficiency.

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 1,142 branches And 3,295 automated teller machines in 528 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.

  • 8. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 2 INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC Service with a smile: Today‟s finicky banking customers will settle for nothing less. The customer has come to realize somewhat belatedly that he is the king. The customer‟s choice of one entity over another as his principal bank is determined by considerations of service quality rather than any other factor. He wants competitive loan rates but at the same time also wants his loan or credit card application processed in double quick time. He insists that he be promptly informed of changes in deposit rates and service charges and he bristles with „customary rage‟ if his bank is slow to redress any grievance he may have. He cherishes the convenience of impersonal net banking but during his occasional visits to the branch he also wants the comfort of personalized human interactions and facilities that make his banking experience pleasurable. In short he wants financial house that will more than just clear his cheque and updates his passbook: he wants a bank that cares and provides great services. So does HDFC bank meet these heightened expectations? What are the customers‟ perceptions of service quality of the banks? Which dimension of service quality of HDFC bank is performing well? To find out answers to these questions I undertook a survey of 2 branches of HDFC bank. A lot of surveys have been done in the past to understand the aspect of customer satisfaction and to find out the customer friendly banks. My research is conducted to find out “SERVICE QUALITY OF HDFC BANK”.
  • 9. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 3 Service Sector is the lifeline for the social economic growth of a country. It is today the largest and fastest growing sector globally contributing more to the global output and employing more people than any other sector. The real reason for the growth of the service sector is due to the increase in urbanization, privatization and more demand for intermediate and final consumer services. Availability of quality services is vital for the well being of the economy. In advanced economies the growth in the primary and secondary sectors are directly dependent on the growth of services like banking, insurance, trade, commerce, entertainment etc. The service sector is going through almost revolutionary change, it dramatically affects the way in which we live and work. New services are continually being launched to satisfy consumers existing needs and to meet the Needs that they do not even know they had. Ten years ago people did not anticipate the need for email, online banking, web hosting, online reservation and many other new services, but today many of us feel we cannot survive without them. Similar transformations are happening in Business to business marketing. Service organisations vary widely in size. At one end are the huge international corporations operating in industries such as tourism, airlines,
  • 10. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 4 banking, telecommunication etc whereas on the other end of the scale is a vast array of locally owned and operated small businesses including parlours , hotels , laundry n numerous business to business services. How important is the service sector in an economy?  In most countries services add more economic value than agriculture, raw materials and manufacturing combined.  In developed economies employment is dominated by service jobs and most new job growth comes from services.  Jobs range from high paid professionals and technicians to minimum wage positions.  Service organisations can be any size, from huge global corporations to local small businesses.  Most activities by govt. agencies and nonprofit orgs involve service.
  • 11. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 5 Service Sector in India: In alignment with the global trends, Indian service sector has witnessed a major boom and is one of the major contributors to both employment and national income in recent times. The activities under the purview of the service sector are quite diverse. Trading, transportation and communication, financial, real estate and business services, community, social and personal services come within the gambit of the service industry. Service sector in India accounts for more than half of India‟s GDP. According to data for the financial year 2008, the share of services, industry and agriculture in India‟s GDP is 53.7% 29.1% and 17.2% respectively. The various sectors that combine together to constitute service industry in India are stated as under:  Trade  Hotels and restaurants  Railways  Other transport and storage  Communication (post and telecom)  Banking  Insurance  Dwellings, real estate  Business services  Public administrations, defence  Personal services  Community services  Other service
  • 12. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 6 INTRODUCTION TO BANKING SECTOR A bank is an institution that deals with money and credit. Different people understand meaning of a bank in different ways. For a common man, bank is a storehouse where money is stored, for a businessman it is a financial institution and for a day to day customer it is an institution where he can deposit his savings. Banks play an important role in the economy of any country as they hold the savings of the public. Provide means of payment for goods and services and provide necessary finance for development of business and change. Thus bank is a link in the flow of funds from the savers to the users hence they should render efficient customer service in order to retain the present customers and also to attract the potential customer. In the past the banks did not face any attraction in the Indian economy because of the low level of the economic activities and the little business prospects. Today we find positive changes in the national business development policy. Earlier the moneylenders had a strong hold over the rural population which resulted in exploitation of small and marginal savers. The private sector banks failed in serving the society. This resulted in the nationalisation of 14 commercial banks in 1969.
  • 13. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 7 There was a basic change in the banking concept with a beginning in the nationalisation of big commercial banks. The involvement of public sector banks, transformed the Indian economy. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized (government owned), private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. Since the nationalization of banks in 1969, the public sector banks or the nationalized banks have acquired a place of prominence and has since then seen tremendous progress. The need to become highly customer focused has forced the slow-moving public sector banks to adopt a fast track approach. The unleashing of products and services through the net has galvanized players at all levels of the banking and financial institutions market grid to look anew at their existing portfolio offering. Conservative banking practices allowed Indian banks to be insulated partially from the Asian currency crisis. Indian banks are now quoting a higher valuation when compared to banks in other Asian countries (viz. Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines etc.) that have major problems linked to huge Non Performing Assets (NPAs) and payment defaults. Co-operative banks are nimble footed in approach and armed with efficient branch networks focus primarily on the „high revenue‟ niche retail segments. The Indian banking has finally worked up to the competitive dynamics of the „new‟ Indian market and is addressing the relevant issues to take on the multifarious challenges of globalization. Banks that employ IT solutions are perceived to be „futuristic‟ and proactive players capable of meeting the multifarious requirements of the large customer‟s base. Private Banks have been fast on the uptake and are reorienting
  • 14. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 8 their strategies using the internet as a medium The Internet has emerged as the new and challenging frontier of marketing with the conventional physical world tenets being just as applicable like in any other marketing medium. The Indian banking has come from a long way from being a sleepy business institution to a highly proactive and dynamic entity. This transformation has been largely brought about by the large dose of liberalization and economic reforms that allowed banks to explore new business opportunities rather than generating revenues from conventional streams (i.e. borrowing and lending). The banking in India is highly fragmented with 30 banking units contributing to almost 50% of deposits and 60% of advances. Indian nationalized banks (banks owned by the government) continue to be the major lenders in the economy due to their sheer size and penetrative networks which assures them high deposit mobilization. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized, private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts as a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. It is the foremost monitoring body in the Indian financial sector. The nationalized banks (i.e. government-owned banks) continue to dominate the Indian banking arena. Industry estimates indicate that out of 274 commercial banks operating in India, 223 banks are in the public sector and 51 are in the private sector. The private sector bank grid also includes 24 foreign banks that have started their operations here.
  • 15. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 9 The liberalize policy of Government of India permitted entry to private sector in the banking, the industry has witnessed the entry of nine new generation private banks. The major differentiating parameter that distinguishes these banks from all the other banks in the Indian banking is the level of service that is offered to the customer. Their focus has always centred around the customer – understanding his needs, pre-empting him and consequently delighting him with various configurations of benefits and a wide portfolio of products and services. These banks have generally been established by promoters of repute or by „high value‟ domestic financial institutions. The popularity of these banks can be gauged by the fact that in a short span of time, these banks have gained considerable customer confidence and consequently have shown impressive growth rates. Today, the private banks corner almost four per cent share of the total share of deposits. Most of the banks in this category are concentrated in the high-growth urban areas in metros (that account for approximately 70% of the total banking business). With efficiency being the major focus, these banks have leveraged on their strengths and competencies viz. Management, operational efficiency and flexibility, superior product positioning and higher employee productivity skills. The private banks with their focused business and service portfolio have a reputation of being niche players in the industry. A strategy that has allowed these banks to concentrate on few reliable high net worth companies and individuals rather than cater to the mass market. These well-chalked out integrates strategy plans have allowed most of these banks to deliver superlative levels of personalized services. With the Reserve Bank of India allowing these banks to operate 70% of their businesses in urban areas, this

  • 17. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 11 Banking sector in India Banks are now the most significant players in the Indian financial market. They are the biggest purveyors of credit, and they also attract most of the savings from the population. The Indian banking can be broadly categorized into nationalized (government owned), private banks and specialized banking institutions. The Reserve Bank of India acts a centralized body monitoring any discrepancies and shortcoming in the system. The need to become highly customer focused has forced the slow-moving public sector banks to adopt a fast track approach. The unleashing of products and services through the net has galvanized players at all levels of the banking and financial institutions market grid to look anew at their existing portfolio offering. Driven by the socialist ideologies and the welfare state concept, public sector banks have long been the supporters of agriculture and other priority sectors. They act as crucial channels of the government in its efforts to ensure equitable economic development. The liberalize policy of Government of India permitted entry to private sector in the banking, the industry has witnessed the entry of nine new generation private banks. The major differentiating parameter that distinguishes these banks from all the other banks in the Indian banking is the level of service that is offered to the customer. Their focus
  • 18. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 12 has always centred around the customer – understanding his needs, pre-empting him and consequently delighting him with various configurations of benefits and a wide portfolio of products and services. These banks have generally been established by promoters of repute or by „high value‟ domestic financial institutions. Today, the private banks corner almost 4% share of the total share of deposits TYPES OF BANKS There are various types of banks which operate in our country to meet the financial requirements of different categories of people engaged in agriculture, business, profession, etc. On the basis of functions, the banking institutions in India may be divided into the following types: Types of Banks a) Central Bank (RBI, in India) b) Development Banks c) Specialized Banks (EXIM Bank, SIDBI, NABARD) d) Commercial Banks (i) Public Sector Banks (ii) Private Sector Banks e) Co-operative Banks (i) Central Co-operative Banks (ii) State Co-operative Banks Now let us learn about each of these banks in detail.
  • 19. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 13 a) Central Bank A bank which is entrusted with the functions of guiding and regulating the banking system of a country is known as its Central bank. Such a bank does not deal with the general public. It acts essentially as Government‟s banker; maintain deposit accounts of all other banks and advances money to other banks, when needed. The Central Bank provides guidance to other banks whenever they face any problem. It is therefore known as the banker‟s bank. The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of our country. The Central Bank maintains record of Government revenue and expenditure under various heads. It also advises the Government on monetary and credit policies and decides on the interest rates for bank deposits and bank loans. In addition, foreign exchange rates are also determined by the central bank. Another important function of the Central Bank is the issuance of currency notes, regulating their circulation in the country by different methods. No other bank than the Central Bank can issue currency. b) Commercial Banks Commercial Banks are banking institutions that accept deposits and grant short- term loans and advances to their customers. In addition to giving short-term loans, commercial banks also give medium-term and long-term loan to business enterprises. Now-a-days some of the commercial banks are also providing housing loan on a long-term basis to individuals. There are also many other functions of commercial banks, which are discussed later in this lesson.
  • 20. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 14 Types of Commercial banks: Commercial banks are of three types i.e., Public sector banks, Private sector banks and Foreign banks.

  • 21. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 15 c) Development Banks Business often requires medium and long-term capital for purchase of machinery and equipment, for using latest technology, or for expansion and modernization. Such financial assistance is provided by Development Banks. They also undertake other development measures like subscribing to the shares and debentures issued by companies, in case of under subscription of the issue by the public. Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) and State Financial Corporation‟s (SFCs) are examples of development banks in India. d) Co-operative Banks People who come together to jointly serve their common interest often form a co- operative society under the Co-operative Societies Act. When a co-operative society engages itself in banking business it is called a Co-operative Bank. The society has to obtain a license from the Reserve Bank of India before starting banking business. Any co-operative bank as a society is to function under the overall supervision of the Registrar, Co-operative Societies of the State. As regards banking business, the society must follow the guidelines set and issued by the Reserve Bank of India. Types of Co-operative Banks There are three types of co-operative banks operating in our country. They are primary credit societies, central co-operative banks and state co-operative banks. These banks are organized at three levels, village or town level, district level and state level. (i) Primary Credit Societies: These are formed at the village or town level with borrower and non-borrower members residing in one locality. The operations of each
  • 22. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 16 society are restricted to a small area so that the members know each other and are able to watch over the activities of all members to prevent frauds. (ii) Central Co-operative Banks: These banks operate at the district level having some of the primary credit societies belonging to the same district as their members. These banks provide loans to their members (i.e., primary credit societies) and function as a link between the primary credit societies and state co-operative banks. (iii) State Co-operative Banks: These are the apex (highest level) co-operative banks in all the states of the country. They mobilize funds and help in its proper channelization among various sectors. The money reaches the individual borrowers from the state co- operative banks through the central co-operative banks and the primary credit societies. e) Specialized Banks There are some banks, which cater to the requirements and provide overall support for setting up business in specific areas of activity. EXIM Bank, SIDBI and NABARD are examples of such banks. They engage themselves in some specific area or activity and thus, are called specialized banks. (i) Export Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank): If you want to set up a business for exporting products abroad or importing products from foreign countries for sale in our country, EXIM bank can provide you the required support and assistance. The bank grants loans to exporters and importers and also provides information about the international market.

Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 18 CUSTOMER SATISFACTION MEANING Customer satisfaction means taking complete care of customer by giving them complete knowledge about the product and about all the feature of that particular product Customer satisfaction is the end result of your interaction with the customer. By giving the best customer service and making sure that the customer was given the best resolution at the end of the call, then we can say that the customer is satisfied even if it's not verbally said. According to me customers are those who pay (salary). Satisfaction is the key to hold the customer for future business. Complete knowledge must be given; each and every query must be clarified by the seller. If a customer remembers you for future business then we can say that customer is satisfied. DEFINITION According to Harold E Edmondson “Customer satisfaction” is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals.". Customer satisfaction is defined by whether the customer chooses to do business with you or your company in the future. Many factors play a role in customer satisfaction, including customer service, product quality and the ease of doing business. Companies must consider customer satisfaction as an important role in the lifetime value of a customer.

  • 28. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 22 BENEFITS Customer satisfaction, as a construct, has been fundamental to marketing for over three decades. As early as 1960, Keith (1960) defined marketing as “satisfying the needs and desires of the consumer”. Hunt (1982) reported that by the 1970s, interest in customer satisfaction had increase to such an extent that over 500 studies were published. This trend continued and by 1992, Peterson and Wilson estimated the amount of academic and trade articles on customer satisfaction to be over 15,000. All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase, from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successful marketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know the time and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he may store the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Gone are the days when the concept of market was let the buyer‟s beware or when the market was mainly the seller‟s market. Now the whole concept of consumer‟s sovereignty Increased repeat purchase Customer satisfaction Increased referrels Reduced switching to competitors reduced price sensitivity Increased profit Increasd Revenue Reduced Cost
  • 29. Service Quality Of HDFC Bank 23 prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. In this sense, “consumer is the supreme in the market”. As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behaviour affect the demand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this. The consumer behaviour suggest how individual, groups and organization select, buy, use and dispose of goods, services, ideas or experience to satisfy their needs and wants. It also clues for improving or introducing products or services, setting price, devising channels etc. Since liberalization 100% FDI is allowed in India. This has attracted foreign companies to penetrate the Indian market. The marketers always look for emergent trends that suggest new. As a consumer we are all unique and this uniqueness is reflected in the consumption pattern and process purchase. The study of consumer behaviour provides us with reasons why consumers differ from one another in buying using products and services. We receive stimuli from the environment and the specifics of the marketing strategies of different products and services, and responds to these stimuli in terms of either buying or not buying product. In between the stage of receiving the stimuli and responding to it, the consumer goes through the process of making his decision.

Banking is an intricate function as it includes certain confidential and security invoking processes that are to be carried on a regular basis, and they are done with minimal margin of errors, that cannot function in an unsafe environment. To make sure that all the daily confidential processes are duly met, placing these facilities becomes a very thoughtful function in itself, and HDFC has overcome these challenges by placing its operational premises at some of the most easily accessible locations across cities and towns, that are made available to its large number of account holders at strategically planned branches. Price in the marketing mix of HDFC HDFC is known to hold major market share in the banking sector of India, and this is because of reasonable yet profit invoking price structure for its services, which is justified to an extent, as every corporation has to sustain inflation and overcome market hurdles. HDFC bank has premium competitive pricing. When compared with national and PSU bank, the pricing is premium, because the minimum amount required to open an account is high. But at the same time, there are many rules, like home load interest, which are as per RBI guidelines and are competitive in nature. Thus, prices for these products are in control by the market and not by the corporation. It provides reasonable loans at maximum repayment tenure and at par interest rates to both old and new customers. Apart from regular charges, it does not charge anything for miscellaneous and associated functions such as cheque replacement, advance loan repayment, take over etc. that justifies a lot.

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.
