COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CURRENT ACCOUNT SCHEMES OF IDBI BANK AND ICICI BANK NAGPUR BRANCH
INTRODUCTION
Banking is the backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of the most important pre-conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The world of banking has assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21st century with the advent of tech banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality. In general, banking may be classified as retail and corporate banking. Retail banking, which is designed to meet the requirements of individual customers and encourage their savings, includes payment of utility bills, consumer loans, credit cards, checking account balances, ATMs, transferring funds between accounts and the like. Corporate banking, on the other hand, caters to the needs of corporate customers like bills discounting, opening letters of credit and managing cash.
The Indian banking scene has changed drastically with the private sector making inroads in an area hitherto dominated by large public sector banks. Growing disinvestment is likely to impact the banking industry as well. There is every possibility of privatization of public sector banks, leading to greater operational autonomy. The development of the Indian banking sector has been accompanied by the introduction of new norms such as Income Recognition and Capital Adequacy, by the government. The latter implies that banks can lend on the basis of their respective capital base. These norms have caused banks to construct equity on their own, before going in for debt. Disintermediation is a real threat for banks. Of late, banks are adopting the EVA (Economic Value Added) concept wherein revenues are viewed in the context of the risk associated with them. The New World order has ensured "Survival of the Fittest". New services are the order of the day, in order to stay ahead in the rat race. Banks are now foraying into net banking, securities, consumer finance, housing finance, treasury market, merchant banking and insurance.

PRODUCTS OF A BANK
In their search for higher returns, many customers of banks and credit unions are look-ing beyond traditional savings accounts to investment products such as mutual funds and annuities. Mutual funds and annuities have their advantages, but its important to understand how they work and what risks are involved. Any money you have in savings and checking accounts or in certificates of deposit (CDs) is known as a deposit. Your financial institution is committed to returning all of your deposits (plus interest) whenever you ask. You can even take money out of a CD before it matures, however, you will have to pay a penalty for early withdrawal. Your institution is also required to carry government insurance on your deposits up to $100,000. The insurer is usually the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Contact your financial institution if you have specific questions about your insured deposits.
Buying through Institution

Not all banks and credit unions sell investment products, but many do. Some simply rent lobby space to outside companies. Other institutions sell what are called proprietary funds, which are sponsored by an outside company but receive investment advice from the institution itself. Private label funds, meanwhile, are sponsored and managed through an outside company but are only sold through one bank or credit union.
Some mutual funds and annuities have names that sound very much like names of financial institutions. But no mutual funds or annuities are insured by either your institution or the U.S. government. As an investor, you should be aware that these funds have different degrees of risk and could possibly lead to a loss of some or your entire principal.

LPG PRIVATE BANKS

The Consumers Legal Protection Forum (CLPF) has demanded immediate steps to repay the amount taken by the LPG dealers from the consumers against home delivery, in all those cases where consumers are made to collect their cylinders from the dealers godowns etc. The CLPF said in a statement here that it been receiving complaints from LPG consumers located in various parts of the State that they are made to collect their cooking gas cylinders from the dealers godowns etc places at their own cost. However the dealers are not remitting them back the amount of Rs 8 taken from them against home delivery of each of the cylinders. The dealers are refusing home delivery of the cooking gas cylinders on various pleas. But they continue to charge the consumers the amount of Rs 8 against home delivery of such cylinders. The failure of the dealers to make home delivery of the cooking gas cylinders has also resulted in the growth of large black market of LPG cylinders throughout the State. The matter was taken up by the CLPF with the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) Authorities and the Director of Food and Civil Supplies on occasions. But so far none of these authorities has taken any step to redress the grievances of the consumers, alleged the CLPF. It needs mention here that the State has at present 253 LPG distributing firms. Of them, 228 are connected with the IOCL, 16 are connected with the Bharat Petroleum and nine are connected with the Hindustan Petroleum. There are around 20,37,000 LPG consumers in the State and of them 19,37,120 are linked with the IOCL, 70,000 are linked with the Bharat Petroleum and 30,000 are linked with Hindustan Petroleum.

To meet emerging challenges and to keep up with reforms in financial sector, IDBI has taken steps to reshape its role from a development finance institution to a commercial institution. With the Industrial Development Bank (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2003, IDBI attained the status of a limited company viz. "Industrial Development Bank of India Limited" (IDBIL).

Overview of development banking in India

The concept of development banking rose only after Second World War, after the Great Depression in 1930s. The demand for reconstruction funds for the affected nations compelled in setting up a worldwide institution for reconstruction. As a result the IBRD was set up in 1945 as a worldwide institution for development and reconstruction. This concept has been widened all over the world and resulted in setting up of large number of banks around the world which coordinating the developmental activities of different nations with different objectives among the world. The Narashimam committee had recommended to give up its direct financing functions and to perform only the promotional and refinancing role. However, the S.H.Khan committee, appointed by the RBI, recommended its transformation into a universal bank. The course of development of financial institutions and markets during the post-Independence period was largely guided by the process of planned development pursued in India with emphasis on mobilization of savings and channeling investment to meet Plan priorities. At the time of Independence in 1947, India had a fairly well-developed banking system. The adoption of bank dominated financial development strategy was aimed at meeting the sectoral credit needs, particularly of agriculture and industry. Towards this end, the Reserve Bank concentrated on regulating and developing mechanisms for institution building. The commercial banking network was expanded to cater to the requirements of general banking and for meeting the short-term working capital requirements of industry and agriculture. Specialized development financial institutions (DFIs) such as the IDBI, NABARD, NHB and SIDBI, etc., with majority ownership of the Reserve Bank were set up to meet the long-term financing requirements of industry and agriculture. To facilitate the growth of these institutions, a mechanism to provide concessional finance to these institutions was also put in place by the Reserve Bank. The first development bank In India incorporated immediately after independence in 1948 under the Industrial Finance Corporation Act as a statutory corporation to pioneer institutional credit to medium and large-scale. Then after in regular intervals the government started new
22
and different development financial institutions to attain the different objectives and helpful to five-year plans. The early history of Indian banking and finance was marked by strong governmental regulation and control. The roots of the national system were in the State Bank of India Act of 1955, which nationalized the former Imperial Bank of India and its seven associate banks. In the early days, this national system operated alongside of a large private banking system. Banks were limited in their operational flexibility by the governments desire to maintain employment in the banking system and were often drawn into troublesome loans in order to further the governments social goals. The financial institutions in India were set up under the strong control of both central and state Governments, and the Government utilized these institutions for the achievements in planning and development of the nation as a whole. Thus all India financial institutions can be classified under five heads according to their economic importance that are:

All-India Development Banks Specialized Financial Institutions Investment Institutions State-level institutions Other institutions...

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BANK OF INDIA (IDBI)

The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) was established on 1 July 1964 under an Act of Parliament as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. In 16 February 1976, the ownership of IDBI was transferred to the Government of India and it was made the principal financial institution for coordinating the activities of institutions engaged in financing, promoting and developing industry in the country. Although Government shareholding in the Bank came down below 100% following IDBIs public issue in July 1995, the former continues to be the major shareholder (current shareholding: 52.3%). During the four decades of its existence, IDBI has been instrumental not only in establishing a welldeveloped, diversified and efficient industrial and institutional structure but also adding a qualitative dimension to the process of industrial development in the country. IDBI has played a pioneering role in fulfilling its mission of promoting industrial growth through financing of medium and long-term projects, in consonance with national plans and priorities. Over the years, IDBI has enlarged its basket of products and services, covering almost the entire spectrum of industrial activities, including manufacturing and services. IDBI provides financial assistance, both in rupee and foreign currencies, for green-field projects as also for expansion, modernization and diversification purposes. In the wake of financial sector reforms unveiled by the government since 1992, IDBI evolved an array of fund and fee-based services with a view to providing an integrated solution to meet the entire demand of financial and corporate advisory requirements of its clients. IDBI also provides indirect financial assistance by way of refinancing of loans extended by State-level financial institutions and banks and by way of rediscounting of bills of exchange arising out of sale of indigenous machinery on deferred payment terms. IDBI has played a pioneering role, particularly in the pre-reform era (196491),in catalyzing broad based industrial development in the country in keeping with its Government-ordained development banking charter. In pursuance of this mandate, IDBIs activities transcended the confines of pure long-term lending to industry and encompassed, among others, balanced industrial growth through development of backward areas, modernization of specific industries, employment generation, entrepreneurship development along with support services
24
for creating a deep and vibrant domestic capital market, including development of apposite institutional framework. Narashimam committee recommends that IDBI should give up its direct financing functions and concentrate only in promotional and refinancing role. But this recommendation was rejected by the government. Later RBI constituted a committee under the chairmanship of S.H.Khan to examine the concept of development financing in the changed global challenges. This committee is the first to recommend the concept of universal banking. The committee wanted the development financial institution to diversify its activity. It recommended to harmonies the role of development financing and banking activities by getting away from the conventional distinction between commercial banking and developmental banking. In September 2003, IDBI diversified its business domain further by acquiring the entire shareholding of Tata Finance Limited in Tata Home finance Ltd., signaling IDBIs foray into the retail finance sector. The fully-owned housing finance subsidiary has since been renamed IDBI Home finance Limited. In view of the signal changes in the operating environment, following initiation of reforms since the early nineties, Government of India has decided to transform IDBI into a commercial bank without eschewing its secular development finance obligations. The migration to the new business model of commercial banking, with its gateway to low-cost current, savings bank deposits, would help overcome most of the limitations of the current business model of development finance while simultaneously enabling it to diversify its client/ asset base. Towards this end, the IDB (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act 2003 was passed by Parliament in December 2003. The Act provides for repeal of IDBI Act, corporatization of IDBI (with majority Government holding; current share: 58.47%) and transformation into a commercial bank. The provisions of the Act have come into force from 2 July 2004 in terms of a Government Notification to this effect. The Notification facilitated formation, incorporation and registration of Industrial Development Bank of India Ltd. as a company under the Companies Act, 1956 and a deemed Banking Company under the Banking Regulation Act 1949 and helped in obtaining requisite regulatory and statutory clearances, including those from RBI. IDBI would commence banking business in accordance with the provisions of the new Act in addition to the business
25
being transacted under IDBI Act, 1964 from 1 October 2004, the Appointed Date notified by the Central Government. IDBI has firmed up the infrastructure, technology platform and reorientation of its human capital to achieve a smooth transition. IDBI Bank, with which the parent IDBI was merged, was a vibrant new generation Bank. The Pvt Bank was the fastest growing banking company in India. The bank was pioneer in adapting to policy of first mover in tier 2 cities. The Bank also had the least NPA and the highest productivity per employee in the banking industry. On 29 July 2004, the Board of Directors of IDBI and IDBI Bank accorded in principle approval to the merger of IDBI Bank with the Industrial Development Bank of India Ltd. to be formed incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 pursuant to the IDB (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2003 (53 of 2003), subject to the approval of shareholders and other regulatory and statutory approvals. A mutually gainful proposition with positive implications for all stakeholders and clients, the merger process is expected to be completed during the current financial year ending 31 March 2005. The immediate fall out of the merger of IDBI and idbi bank was the exit of employees of idbi bank. The cultures in the two organizations have taken its toll. The IDBI BANK now is in a growing fold. With its retail banking arm expanding further after the merger of United western Bank. IDBI would continue to provide the extant products and services as part of its development finance role even after its conversion into a banking company. In addition, the new entity would also provide an array of wholesale and retail banking products, designed to suit the specific needs cash flow requirements of corporates and individuals. In particular, IDBI would leverage the strong corporate relationships built up over the years to offer customised and total financial solutions for all corporate business needs, single-window appraisal for term loans and working capital finance, strategic advisory and hand-holding support at the implementation phase of projects, among others. IDBIs transformation into a commercial bank would provide a gateway to low-cost deposits like Current and Savings Bank Deposits. This would have a positive impact on the Banks
26
overall cost of funds and facilitate lending at more competitive rates to its clients. The new entity would offer various retail products, leveraging upon its existing relationship with retail investors under its existing Suvidha Flexi-bond schemes. In the emerging scenario, the new IDBI hopes to realize its mission of positioning itself as a one stop super-shop and most preferred brand for providing total financial and banking solutions to corporates and individuals, capitalizing on its intimate knowledge of the Indian industry and client requirements and large retail base on the liability side. IDBI upholds the highest standards of corporate governance in its operations. The responsibility for maintaining these high standards of governance lies with its Board of Directors. Two Committees of the Board viz. the Executive Committee and the Audit Committee are adequately empowered to monitor implementation of good corporate governance practices and making necessary disclosures within the framework of legal provisions and banking conventions.
The industrial investment bank of India is one of oldest banks in India. The Industrial Reconstruction Corporation of India Ltd., set up in 1971 for rehabilitation of sick industrial companies, was reconstituted as Industrial Reconstruction Bank of India in 1985 under the IRBI Act, 1984. With a view to converting the institution into a full-fledged development financial institution, IRBI was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956, as Industrial Investment Bank of India Ltd. (IIBI) in March 1997. IIBI offers a wide range of products and services, including term loan assistance for project finance, short duration non-project assetbacked financing, working capital/ other short-term loans to companies, equity subscription, asset credit, equipment finance as also investments in capital market and money market instruments. In view of certain structural and financial problems adversely impacting its long-term viability, IIBI submitted a financial restructuring proposal to the Government of India on 25 July 2003. IIBI has since received certain directives from the Government of India, which, inter alias, include restricting fresh lending to existing clients approved cases rated corporates,
27
restrictions on fresh borrowings, an action plan to reduce the overhead expenditure, disposal of fixed assets and a time-bound plan for asset recovery/reconstruction. The Government of India had also given its approval for the merger of IIBI with IDBI and the latter had already started the due diligence process. But on 17 December 2005 the IDBI rejected any such merger.
ACQUISITION OF UNITED WESTERN BANK

In 2006, IDBI Bank acquired United Western Bank in a rescue. Annasaheb Chirmule, who worked for the cause of Swadeshi movement, founded Satara Swadeshi Commercial Bank in 1907, and some three decades later founded United Western Bank. The bank was incorporated in 1936, and commenced operations the next year, with its head office in Satara, in Maharashtra State. It became a Scheduled Bank in 1951.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
All progress is borne of inquiry & inquiry leads to invention
This is a famous Hudson maxim in the context of which the significance of research can well be understood. Research is an academic activity. Any kind of research is a search for knowledge.
To be more precise it is a scientific & systematic way which defines & redefines problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing & evaluating data, making deduction & reaching to conclusions.
Every research activity involves research method & research methodology. Research methods are those that are used for conducting a research i.e. methods used for collection of data, statistical techniques which are used for establishing relationships between the data & the unknown, & other methods used to evaluate the accuracy of the results obtained.
Research methodology is a way to solve the research problem systematically. Researchers not only need to know how to develop technique but also need to know which of the methods are relevant & which are not.
This means that they have to design their methodology for their specific problem, as methodology may differ from problem to problem.
36
Collection of data:
Collection of data refers to as unique purposive gathering of information relevant to subject matter.
Methods by which a research data can be collected through documents which get from banking organizations i.e. ICICI BANK & IDBI BANK. Data collection through primary source such as 1. Direct personal investigation. 2. Information received through local agents. 3. Drafting a questionnaire. Primary data are the original observation collected by the researchers or his agents for the 1 st time and used by them in their investigations. Once the primary data has been used, it ceases to be primary data and becomes secondary data.
1. Direct personal investigation:-
This implies the situation where the researcher goes into the field of study in person for the collection of the required data. Also, the investigation of this nature is normally confined to a single locality and the information gathered is original in nature. I gave a personal visit to ICICI BANK located near Vishnu Vaibhav, 222, Palm Road, Civil Lines, Nagpur. - 440001 and collected broachers and other pamphlets that are relevant to my project in order to gain information, facts and figures. And also visit to IDBI located near Junior Bonsla Palace, Tulsi Bagh Road, Mahal Nagpur, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440002 and collected circular and broachers to gain more information.
37
2. Information received through local Agents:
Having direct personal investigation for the collection of required data, information also being gathered from local agents other than get from organization. i.e. ICICI BANK, IDBI BANK.
3. Questionnaire:-
The another method of data collection is a survey done by me which consists of asking questions intended to cover a cross-section of a population. A questionnaire is generally mailed or handed to the respondent & filled by him without the help of interviewer. I did survey for my project by forming questionnaire.
Secondary data are those which have already been collected by others. When it is not possible to collect the data in primary form the researcher may take the help of secondary data. They are those which have already been collected with some other view in mind. They are collected for serving the objectives other than the researcher might have in his mind.
The sources of secondary data include:-
1.
Web sites:In todays generation one can use the web sites to get the required information which is economical both in terms of money, time and labour. The web sites which were used by me to collect the data of ICICI BANK and IDBI BANK were as,
www.icici.com. www.idbi.com.
38
DATA INTREPRETAION AND ANALYSIS
Processing & Analysis the collected data: - Once the field survey is over and questionnaire have been received, the next task is to aggregate the data in a meaningful manner. A number of tables are preparing to bring out the main characteristics of the data. The researcher should have a well thought out framework for processing and analyzing data, and this should be done prior to the collection. It includes the following activities
(i) Editing: The first task in data processing is the editing. Editing is the process of examining errors and omissions in the collected data and making necessary corrections in the same.
(ii) Coding: coding is the procedure of classifying the answer to a question into meaningful categories. Coding is necessary to carry out the subsequent operations of tabulating and analyzing data. If coding is not done, it will not be possible to reduce a large number of heterogeneous responses into meaningful categories with the result that the analysis of data would be weak and ineffective, and without proper focus.
(iii) Tabulation: tabulation comprises sorting of the data into different categories and counting the number of cases that belong to each category. The simplest way to tabulate is to count the number of responses to one question. This is also called universal tabulation. The analysis based on just one variable is obviously meager. Where two or more variables are involved in tabulation; it is called bivariate or multivariate tabulation.
(iv) Analysis: After the all three above steps, the most important step is analysis the data under this step; they can use the various tools of the analysis such as Central Tendency, dispersion, Correlation coefficient, Regression Analysis, Test of Hypothesis etc.

CURRENT ACCOUNT SCHEMES OF ICICI BANKS
New Pension Scheme (NPS) is a defined contribution based pension system launched by Government of India with effect from 1 January, 2004. Unlike most other developing countries, India does not have a universal social security system to protect the elderly against economic deprivation. As a first step towards instituting pension reforms, Government of India moved from a defined benefit pension to a defined contribution based pension system. Apart from offering wide gamut of investment options to employees, this scheme would help government of India to reduce its pension liabilities. Unlike existing pension fund of Government of India that offered assured benefits, NPS has defined contribution and individuals can decide where to invest their money. The scheme is structured into two tiers:
Tier-I account: This NPS account doesnt allow premature withdrawal and is available from 1 May, 2009
Tier-II account: The tier-II NPS account permits withdrawal and is operational from 1 December, 2009. Since 1 April, 2008, the pension contributions of Central Government employees covered by the New Pension System (NPS) are being invested by professional Pension Fund Managers in line with investment guidelines of Government applicable to non-Government Provident Funds. A majority of State Governments have also shifted to the defined contribution based new pension system from varying dates. 22 State/UT Governments have notified the NPS for their new employees. Of these, 6 states have already signed agreements with the intermediaries of the NPS architecture appointed by PFRDA for carrying forward the implementation of the New Pension System. The other States are in the process of finalization of documentation.
44
REGULATOR
Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) is the prudential regulator for the NPS. PFRDA was established by the Government of India on 23 August 2003 to promote old age income security by establishing, developing and regulating pension funds. PFRDA has set up a Trust under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 to oversee the functions of the PFMs. The NPS Trust is composed of members representing diverse fields and brings wide range of talent to the regulatory framework.
COVERAGE AND ELIGIBILITY

NPS will be available to all citizens of India on voluntary basis and mandatory for employees of central government (except armed forces) appointed on or after 1 January 2004. All Indian citizens between the age of 18 and 55 can join the NPS.
Tier-I is mandatory for all Govt. servants joining Govt. service on or after 1.1.2004. In Tier I, Govt. servants will have to make a contribution of 10% of his Basic Pay, DP and DA which will be deducted from his salary bill every month. The Govt. will make an equal matching contribution. Since 1 April, 2008, the pension contributions of Central Government employees covered by the NPS are being invested by professional Pension Fund Managers in line with investment guidelines of Government. However, there will be no contribution from the Government in respect of individuals who are not Government employees. The contributions and returns thereon would be deposited in a non-withdrawable pension account. In addition to the above pension account, each individual can have a voluntary tier-II withdrawable account at his option. Government will make no contribution into this account. These assets would be managed in the same manner as the pension. The accumulations in this account can be withdrawn anytime without assigning any reason. Its estimated that 8 crore citizens of India are eligible to join the NPS.
45
OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE
NPS is designed to leverage existing network of bank branches and post offices to collect contributions and ensure that there is seamless transfer of accumulations in case of change of employment and/or location of the subscriber. It offers a basket of investment choices and Fund managers. The key terms to understand the working of NPS are as follows:
Central Record Keeping Agency (CRA): It would maintain records of all

contributions and transaction details of subscribers. It will also have the mandate to effect client instructions regarding switching from one fund to another or from one scheme to another of the same fund. Besides, facilitating implementation of individual choice, the CRA is also expected to help in big way in reducing fees and costs because every fund manager will not be required to set up an elaborate fund collection, transfer, record keeping and marketing infrastructure.
Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN): A unique 16 digit Permanent

Retirement Account Number would be allocated to each new subscriber for the Permanent Retirement Account (PRA). Subscribers can retain their PRAs when they change jobs or residence, and even change their fund managers and the allocation of investments among the different asset classes. Pension Fund Managers (PFM): PFRDA has appointed PFMs to manage the savings corpus under NPS. Presently subscribers can choose from amongst six PFMs. There will be one or more CRA, several PFMs to choose from which will offer different categories of schemes. The participating entities (PFMs, CRA etc.) would give out easily understood information about past performance & regular NAVs, so that the individual would able to make informed choices about which scheme to choose. PFMs would share this common CRA infrastructure. The PFMs would invest the savings people put into their PRAs, investing them in three asset classes, equity (E), government securities (G) and debt instruments that entail credit risk (C), including corporate bonds and fixed deposits. Presently there are 22 entities that have 330 authorized Points of presence (POPs) for opening Permanent Retirement Account (PRA) with Central record Keeping Agency (CRA). Few of
46
the major banks part of POP network are: SBI and its associates, ICICI, Axis, Kotak Mahindra, Allahabad Bank, Citibank, IDBI, Oriental Bank of Commerce, South Indian Bank, Union Bank of India. Additionally four financial entities which part of POP entities are: LIC, IL&FS, UTI Asset Management and Reliance Capital.
CONTRIBUTION GUIDELINES
The following contribution guidelines have been set by the PFRDA:

Minimum amount per contribution: Rs. 500 per month Minimum number of contributions: 4 in a year (at least 1 in each quarter) Minimum annual contribution: Rs 6,000 in each subscriber account.
If the subscriber is unable to contribute the minimum annual contribution, a default penalty of Rs.100 per year of default would be levied and the account would become dormant. In order to re-activate the account, subscriber will have to pay the minimum contributions, along with penalty due. A dormant account will be closed when the account value falls to zero.
Investment Options all under the investment guidelines finalized for the NPS, pension fund managers will manage three separate schemes, each investing in a different asset class. The three asset classes are equity, government securities and credit risk-bearing fixed income instruments. The subscriber will have the option to actively decide as to how the NPS pension wealth is to be invested in three asset classes: 1. E Class: Investment would primarily in Equity market instruments. It would invest in Index funds that replicate the portfolio of either BSE Sensitive index or NSE Nifty 50 index. 2. G Class: Investment would be in Government securities like GOI bonds and State Govt. bonds. 3. C Class: Investment would be in fixed income securities other than Government Securities

In case the subscriber does not exercise any choice as regards asset allocation, the contribution will be invested in accordance with the Auto choice option. In this option the investment will be determined by a predefined portfolio. At the lowest age of entry (18 years) the auto choice will entail investment of 50 % of pension wealth in E Class, 30% in C Class and 20% in G Class. These ratios of investment will remain fixed for all contributions until the participant reaches the age of 36.

RECOMMANDATIONS
ICICI Bank and IDBI bank has to improve its brand image, i.e. it has to position itself in the minds of prospects in a better way in comparisons to others. People who deal with customers should have complete knowledge about the different products and their features. It should more emphasize in advertising, as it is the most powerful tool to position ant brand in the mindsets of customers. It should provide online training and for those who are in jobs and want to become advisors IDBI should provide evening training classes, so that they can join the training after doing their jobs. It should open more number of branches in different cities.

CONCLUSION
After doing a lot of research and studying the materials available on internet, newspapers, magazines and journals. I want to conclude that people prefers ICICI Bank more than IDBI Bank for saving accounts in private sector. As private banks are coming daily in our country still, Mostly people prefers government banks for saving accounts, especially older persons are more dependent on government banks. It is true that younger population preference is changing and they prefer more private banks because of services and facilities provided by private banks. The appearance of banks also becomes very important for the present generation and private banks put their complete efforts on this, which is lacking in government banks. At last I can only say that IDBI Bank enjoys leading position in personal saving account sector.
