INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Banking system of a nation is the shadow of nations economy. A healthy and profitable banking system is just like the backbone of nations 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

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 timeespecially 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.

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.

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 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

bankers 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, kids 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).

CHAPTER - 5

FINDINGS
Page | 72

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 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 3 rd and ING Vysya as 2nd.
Page | 73

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

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.

 Respondents are biased toward their current bank. Time is 6 weeks, so much of economic fluctuations are not seen

RECOMMENDATION

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.
Page | 78

 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
