INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Banking system of a nation is the shadow of nation’s economy. A healthy and

profitable banking system is just like the backbone of nation’s economy. It is

necessary for a nation to achieve growth and remain stable in this global world and

global economy. The Indian banking system, with one of the largest banking

networks in the world, has witnessed a series of reforms over the past few years

like the deregulation of interest rates, dilution of the government stake in public

sector banks (PSBs) and the increased participation of private sector banks.

1.1 History of INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks

were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and the Bank of

Hindustan, both of which are now defunct The oldest bank in existence in India is

the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to

June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Allahabad Bank,

established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in

India.

Central banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935

formally took over these responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India,

relegating it to commercial banking functions. After India's independence in 1947,

Page | 7

the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the

government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the government

nationalized the six next largest in 1980.

In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an

existing bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two

banks could have common directors

Page | 8

1.2 Liberalization in INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

In the early 1990s, the then government embarked on a policy of liberalization,

licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as New

Generation tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such

new generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank

of Commerce, Axis Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This

Page | 9

move, along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, revitalized the banking

sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all the

three sectors of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks

The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation

in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks

may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%, at present

it has gone up to 49% with some restrictions.

The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this

time, were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%; Lend at 6%; Go home at 4%)

of functioning. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy

methods of working for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India.

People not just demanded more from their banks but also received more.

Currently (2009), banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply,

product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge

for the private sector and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital

adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent

balance sheets relative to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The

Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the

government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage

volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this has mostly been true.

With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-

especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail

Page | 10

banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may

also expect M&As, takeovers, and asset sales.

Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector

banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks

(these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on

stock exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over

53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs. The public sector banks hold over 75 percent

of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding

18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

1.3 The Origin of ING Group

ING group originated in 1990 from the merger between “Nationale Nederlanden”

the largest Dutch Insurance Company and “NMB Post Bank” Group. Combining

roots and ambitions, the newly formed company called Internationale Nederlanden

Group. Market circles soon abbreviated the name to I-N-G. The company followed

suit by changing the statutory name to ING Group. ING is a global financial

services company providing banking, investments, life insurance and retirement

services and operates in more than 50 countries.

PROFILE

ING is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments,

life insurance and retirement services. ING serve more than 85 million private,

corporate and institutional customers in Europe, North and Latin America, Asia

and Australia. They draw on their experience and expertise, their commitment to

Page | 11

excellent service and their global scale to meet the needs of a broad customer base,

comprising individuals, families, small businesses, large corporations, institutions

and governments

STRATEGY

ING’s overall mission is to help customers manage their financial future.

Capitalizing on changing customer preferences and building on our solid business

capabilities, ING’s strategic focus is on banking, investments, life insurance and

retirement services. They provide retail customers with the products they need

during their lives to grow savings, manage investments and prepare for retirement

with confidence. With wide range of products, innovative distribution models and

strong footprints in both mature and developing markets, ING has the long-run

economic, technological and demographic trends on their side. ING aligns its

business strategy around a universal customer ideal: saving and investing for the

future should be easier. While steering the business through turbulent times, ING

will execute efforts across all its business lines to strengthen customer confidence

and meet their needs, preserve a strong capital position, further mitigate risks and

bring its costs in line with revenue expectations.

COPERATE RESPOSIBILITY

ING wants to pursue profit on the basis of sound business ethics and respect for its stakeholders. Corporate responsibility is therefore a fundamental part of ING’s strategy: ethical, social and environmental factors play an integral role in business decisions

The ING Vysya BANK Ltd.

ING Vysya Bank Ltd., is an entity formed with the coming together of erstwhile,

Vysya Bank Ltd, a premier bank in the Indian Private Sector and a global financial

powerhouse, ING of Dutch origin, during Oct 2002.

The origin of the erstwhile Vysya Bank was pretty humble. It was in the year 1930

that a team of visionaries came together to form a bank that would extend a helping

hand to those who weren't privileged enough to enjoy banking services.

ING and ING Vysya Life Insurance are headquartered at Bangalore, while the

corporate office of ING Investment Management is situated at Mumbai. The

synergies arising out of the three distinct but complimentary businesses are bound

to be an asset to the group in the changing market dynamics of the future. The first

such signs are already visible on the horizon with combined products being

successfully launched by the different entities of the group in conjunction with

each other

It's been a long journey since then and the Bank has grown in size and stature to

encompass every area of present-day banking activity and has carved a distinct

identity of being India's Premier Private Sector Bank.

In 1980, the Bank completed fifty years of service to the nation and post 1985; the

Bank made rapid strides to reach the coveted position of being the number one

private sector bank. In 1990, the bank completed its Diamond Jubilee year. At the

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, the then Finance Minister Prof. Madhu Dandavate,

had termed the performance of the bank stupendous. The 75th anniversary, the

Platinum Jubilee of the bank was celebrated during 2005.

ING Vysya FOUNDATION (ING – CSR)

World over ING has strengthened its name as a good corporate citizen. The ING

Chances for Children initiative (CFC) a global program in partnership with

UNICEF is to educate 50,000 underprivileged children in three countries, Ethiopia,

India and Brazil by 2008. In India the focus is primarily in the districts of

Dharampuri and Krishnagiri in Tamil Nadu. Through the national Child labor

Elimination (NCLP) bridge schools, ING provides much needed support to

UNICEF, to fund, monitor, and provide children with quality primary education

The Indian arm of the Chances for Children programs is run by the support of ING

business units in India (ING, ING Life Insurance and ING Investment

Management) through the ING Vysya Foundation.

The Foundation was set up almost 3 year ago and was actively involved in the post

Tsunami rehabilitation of the victims. ING Group set up a dedicated Tsunami

Support account. In India, the Foundation partnered with five NGO providing

much needed financial support, from rebuilding of schools to providing fishing

boats, giving much needed hope to destroyed lives.

The Indian chapter of CFC involves the partnership of the Foundation with 7 NGO

working in primary education. Not only does the Foundation provide much needed

financial support to these organizations but also runs strong voluntary programs

giving the employees a chance to meet the children, work with them and take

ownership and responsibility for the vision of its partners. The Foundation creates

systems that ensure CSR activities within the organization. Various programs are

initiated with the employees, whether it is taking 100 children for a day out to the

planetarium or watching a film with them. It collectively influences the culture of

Page | 38

the organization; and also provides the employees with an opportunity to

contribute to the vision of the organizations CSR.

Recently ING Vysya Foundation launched its initiative “Run Ricky Run”. In this

initiative, for every run Ricky makes the Foundation will sponsor one child to go to

school through its association with its NGO partner in Bangalore, SUKRUPA.

Addressing health care, poverty or human rights issues, there is no better way than

through the corridors of education. The main focus of the Foundation in India is to

support not for profit organizations working in the area of education.

FACTS AND PEOPLES’ PERCEPTION

A) SAVING ACCOUNTS OF RESPONDENTS IN THE BANK

As per the data collected and analyzed, most of the people in Muzaffarnagar have

chosen ICICI Bank for their banking. It is because ICICI was the first private

banking player in the newly formed state (U.K.) they hold the accounts of 51% of

the respondents. Next rank comes to HDFC with 31% of accounts. ING has

Page | 49

captured 18% (speculative) of the market share within 6 months of its

establishment in the State.

B)KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACCOUNT AND SERVICES ASSOCIATED.

Page | 50

C) QUARTERLY AVAILABLE BALANCE THAT HAS TO BE MAINTAINED

It is the amount which one has to maintain for a single quarter. 45% of the respondent were maintaining 5,000 rupees. 35% were maintaining nothing, 12% were holding 10,000 as their QAB. And 8% were holding more than 10,000 rupees.

Out of 45% of the respondents who maintain 5,000 rupees as their QAB, most of the respondents are having account in ICICI and ING Vysya bank.

Page | 51

D) BANK PROVIDING SPECIAL FACILITY LIKE smart-serve

Smart serv is type of special services in which a person can send/present gifts to any of his/her known in any of the city by just telling your banker the address of the person. The gift will be purchased and will be delivered by the bank only, and the amount for the gift will be automatically deducted from the sender’s account.

10% of the people who were really enjoying some of the special services provided by bank were found to be associated with ING Vysya Bank.

Page | 52

E) PEOPLES’ RATING: ACCORDING TO THEIR PERCEPTION

51% of the people have rated ICICI Bank as 1st, this is because of wide market

share of ICICI Bank. 2nd Rank has been awarded to HDFC Bank by approximately

23% of respondents. 3rd rating is given to ING Vysya bank by approx. 15% of the

respondents. And last comes AXIS Bank. Thus ING Vysya is better than AXIS and

HDFC Bank in its Marketing Strategy.

Page | 53

F) PEOPLE’S MOST FREQUENT POINTS OF INTERACTION WITH BANK

All of the bank customers interact most frequently with the bank by doing their transactions from ATM. 35% of them visit branch quite often and 35% of the respondents also go for phone banking. Internet Banking is the 2nd most point of interaction of bank and the customer. People who use Internet banking and mobile banking were found to be associated mainly with ICICI and ING Vysya Bank. ING

Page | 54

Vysya is having best Internet banking attributes. This implies the technological advancement in Muzaffarnagar Citizens.

G) PERCEPTION OF RESPONDENTS ABOUT THEIR BANK/S

4 - Most/excellent 3- Reasonably good

2- Fair 1- Disappointing

1. Most of the people who are associated with ING Vysya Bank found their Bank charges quite nominal and well justified. About 97% of the ING Vysya customers state the same. Even AXIS Bank is charging best rates of charges to its customers. ICICI customer agrees that they think of getting better bank charges.

2. People have ranked ICICI at the top notch for its 12hrs. working hours 8 to 8. Even ING Vysya operates from 10 to 7, which is 2 hrs. more than HDFC and

Page | 55

AXIS. Therefore ING Vysya Bank has an edge over AXIS and HDFC as per working hours.

3. 80% people have again rated ICICI as one of the best banks location wise. Its large no. of branches provides access to bank anywhere. As ING Vysya has got

number other branch in Uttar Pradesh it has been rated lowest as per most of the respondents and ING Vysya customers. According to respondents even AXIS and HDFC bank have no. of branches and are located at an accessible location.

4- Most/excellent 3- Reasonably good

2- Fair 1- Disappointing/least

4. Almost all respondents who are in connection with ING Vysya Bank have

rated it best in the customer care services. 55% of the respondent who are

associated with HDFC Bank have rated HDFC, reasonably good in customer care

services. But customer of ICICI and AXIS Bank are not very much delighted with

Page | 56

customer care services of their bank. This way ING Vysya has got an advantage of

delivering excellent customer care services.

5. In case of “Behavior of the Staff” most of the ING

Vysya customers have rated ING the best. Almost 100% of

the ING customers are well satisfied with their

banker’s behavior. On the other hand 72% customers of ICICI bank and

other respondents as well have ranked ICICI as very disappointing as per behavior

of the staff. Most of them stated that when they visit branch, any of the employee

there, hardly pays full attention towards them. Even some of the preferred

customers have to stay in a cue or have to wait for long to get their job done by the

bank. HDFC and AXIS Bank has been rated reasonably good by the respondents as

far as behavior of the staff is concerned.

6. With the criteria of Variety of Accounts, people have rated ICICI as the

top one. This is because ICICI is having bank accounts for the different customers

with different needs. They have account for old age citizen, pension account, kid’s

account of various types and many more. Where as ING Vysya has been rated

least, because they are operating with only 3 types of saving accounts in the city.

They do have various other kinds of accounts but these are not available in

Muzaffarnagar. This is probably due to very less time of their establishment. They

are not providing the full services because its been just 8 months that they have

established in Uttar Pradesh (Muzaffarnagar).

Page | 57

4- Most/excellent 3- Reasonably good

2- Fair 1- Disappointing

7. Most of the ING Vysya customers are happy with processing speed of their banking transactions. ING Vysya Bank boasts about delivering the commitment. According to the ING an account takes 5 days for activation.

8. The queries handling is done very well by ING Vysya bank according to the respondents. 57% of the ICICI customers are unhappy with the bank regarding their queries handling. Whereas AXIS Bank has been rated good.

Page | 58

H) VARIABLES INFLUENCING ACCOUNT OPENING IN A PARTICULAR BANK.

1) I will prefer, if my friend recommends me to open an account in a particular bank. ( WORD OF MOUTH)

According to the respondents, they mainly disagree for opening a bank account on their friend’s or relatives’ recommendation. And to 27% of the respondents it doesn’t matter. Very few people agree to the recommendation. This means that the WORD OF MOUTH is not an

Page | 59

essential marketing channel for opening an account in bank. People first try to find the real facts by their own.

2) I am very cautious about Average Quarterly Balance non-maintenance charge. (QAB)

Many people are bothered about their QAB, and to 23% people QAB doesn’t mean much. According to them they were never charged for not keeping enough QAB.

Page | 60

3) I am generally motivated by the television add for saving bank account.

Most of the respondents were unaware of the new advertisements of various banks. For them it hardly plays any important role in capturing market share.

Page | 61

4) I am generally bothered about the distance between my home and

Most of the respondents were very much bothered about the distance from their bank and home. That implies that PROXIMITY to bank is one of the very BOLD VARIABLE for account opening.

Page | 62

5) I prefer saving bank account as it is popular.

6) I give importance to DD and cheque facility in saving bank account.

Page | 63

7) I give preference to instant alert, net banking and phone banking.

Page | 64

8) I give importance to the third party cash deposits and withdrawal.

CHAPTER - 5

Page | 67

FINDINGS

The study conducted directs toward the Private Banking scenario in the city

Muzaffarnagar Study suggested that a large market share has been captured by

ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. Out of two ICICI is enjoying the maximum market

Page | 68

share. This is probably because of the reason that ICICI was the first private bank

in the state as well as in city.

Most of the people know about the account and services associated with it. Most of

the people are maintaining 5,000 rupees as QAB in their private banking account,

but most of them except ING Vysya customer are unaware of the special facilities

available.

People have ranked ICICI bank as best in the city. This is may be due to the oldest

persistence of ICICI bank in the city. They have rated HDFC as 3rd and ING Vysya

as 2nd.

Almost everyone comes in contact with their bank by the use of ATM machines.

80% of the respondents were using internet banking that implies high literacy rate

in the city.

People think that the staff of ICICI does not behave well with their customers but

ING Vysya customers are glad with the staff of ING Vysya Bank. But on the other

hand ICICI customers are very happy with the working hours of ICICI bank.

HDFC customers are a bit unhappy with the working hours of their bank.

People are very much bothered by the distance between their home and the bank.

They believe that this a major issue which influence the customer to open an

account in any bank. Most of the people are not entertained

by the television advertisements about various banks. Even

word of mouth has not been proved as

Page | 69

strong marketing channel about banking. It implies that for banking customer is

looking at the commitment, real facts, distance between their home and bank,

behavior of the banker, QAB and many more.

Page | 70

LIMITATION

Page | 71

LIMITATIONS

ING Vysya Bank have a very few branches in Northern India

Customer are not aware about the ING Vysya Bank

ING Vysya Bank have fewer banking/financial product compare to other

ING Vysya Bank have very few ATM .

Research is only done in Muzaffarnagar city

Research is self-financed so money is a major constraint

Respondents are biased toward their current bank.

Time is 6 weeks, so much of economic fluctuations are not seen

Page | 72

RECOMMENDATION

Page | 73

RECOMMENDATION

Many of the respondent are not aware about their key services. Bank has to take some initiatives.

Bank can post a list of services that they can rendered to the customer inside the bank premises.

ING Vysya Bank has to improve its brand image i.e. create a position in the mindset of the customer.

It should more emphasize on advertisement. Advertisement is a most powerful tool for position and brand in the mindset of customer.

ING Vysya Bank should ask for their customer feedback to know whether the consumer are satisfied or dissatisfied.

Due to intense competition in the financial market. ING Vysya Bank should adopt better strategy to attract more customer
