EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There’s a new kind promise in the banking industry and possibly no better time than now
for transformation. Economic fundamentals are strong, the regulatory climate is
favorable, and transformation technologies are more readily accessible, powerful, and
economical than ever before. Digitalization, as we call it today, is sweeping across every
aspect of our daily lives in all possible ways. Right from gathering the news we find in
the newspapers every morning to the billing process at our neighborhood grocery shop, it
is digital technology that is making tasks faster and more accurate. Digitalization helps in
reducing cost and has helped in generating revenue through various channels.
In this project, the study is to analyze the effect of digitalization in the banking industry
and specifically at HDFC Bank, and how it is affecting the industry as a whole. In order
to know how banks are making their customers aware of online banking process. The
study also indicates whether the customers are using online banking and are comfortable
using it. The study also shows the increase productivity of the employees after adopting
digitalization. It also shows that people are now transforming their way of banking from
traditional to digital banking.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Digitalization
Digitalization is the use of digital technologies to change a business model and provide
new revenue and value-producing opportunities. It is the process of moving to a digital
business.
Digital technology is rapidly growing and will continue to grow. Thus every sector needs
to adopt the upcoming technology in order to compete in the economy. If India embraces
digitalization, it can help the economy to become a developed economy. In other words,
digitalization can be a stepping stone for India to compete globally. 55% of the startups
have already adopted digital transformation strategy. Reasons why to go digital

1.2 Digital Banking in India
Digital banking is part of the broader context for the move to online banking, where
banking services are delivered over the internet. The shift from traditional to digital
banking has been gradual and remains ongoing, and is constituted by differing degrees of
banking service digitization. Digital banking involves high levels of process automation
and web-based services to deliver banking products and provide transactions. It provides
the ability for users to access financial data through desktop, mobile and ATM services.
A digital bank represents a virtual process that includes online banking. Digital banking
must encompass the front end that consumers see, the back end that bankers see through
their servers and admin control panels and middleware that connects these nodes. Digital
banking platforms must be user friendly, secured enough that maintains the privacy of the
transaction made by the customer. Digitalization is not an option for the bank. Every
5
financial institution has to adopt digitalization in order to compete in the market and to
give customer experience.
The earliest forms of digital banking trace back to the advent of ATMs and cards
launched in the 1960s. As the internet emerged in the 1980s with early broadband, digital
networks began to connect retailers with suppliers and consumers to develop needs for
early online catalogues and inventory software systems.
By the 1990s the Internet emerged and online banking started becoming the norm. The
improvement of broadband and ecommerce systems in the early 2000s led to what
resembled the modern digital banking world today. The proliferation
of Smartphone’s through the next decade opened the door for transactions on the go
beyond ATM machines. Over 60% of consumers now use their Smartphone’s as the
preferred method for digital banking.
6
The challenge for banks is now to facilitate demands that connect vendors with money
through channels determined by the consumer. This dynamic shapes the basis of
customer satisfaction, which can be nurtured with Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) software. Therefore, CRM must be integrated into a digital banking
system, since it provides means for banks to directly communicate with their customers.
The need for computerization was felt in the Indian banking sector in late 1980s, in order
to improve the customer service, book-keeping and MIS reporting. In 1988, Reserve
Bank of India set up a Committee on computerization in banks headed by Dr. C.
Rangarajan.
Banks began using Information Technology initially with the introduction of standalone
PCs and migrated to Local Area Network (LAN) connectivity. With further
advancement, banks adopted the Core Banking platform. Thus branch banking changed
to bank banking. Core Banking Solution (CBS) enabled banks to increase the comfort
feature to the customers as a promising step towards enhancing customer convenience
through anywhere and anytime banking. Different Core banking platforms such as
Finacle designed by Infosys, BaNCS by TCS, FLEXCUBE by i-flex, gained popularity.
The process of Computerization gained pace with the opening of the economy in 1991-
92. A major driver for this change was propelled by rising competition from private and
foreign banks. Several commercial banks started moving towards digital customer
services to remain competitive and relevant in the race.
Banks have benefitted in several ways by adopting newer technologies. E-banking has
resulted in reducing costs drastically and has helped generate revenue through various
7
channels. As per last available information, the cost of a bank transaction on Branch
Banking is estimated to be in a range of Rs.70 to Rs.75 while it is around Rs.15 to Rs.16
on ATM, Rs.2 or less on Online Banking and Rs.1 or less on Mobile Banking. The
number of customer base has also increased because of the convenience in 'Anywhere
Banking'. Digitization has reduced human error. It is possible to access and analyze the
data anytime enabling a strong reporting system.
RBI has been a guiding force for the banks in forming regulations and giving
recommendations to achieve various objectives. Commercial Banks in India have moved
towards technology by way of Bank Mechanization and Automation with the
introduction to MICR based cheque processing, Electronic Funds transfer, Inter-
connectivity among bank Branches and implementation of ATM (Automated Teller
Machine) Channel have resulted in the convenience of anytime banking. Strong
initiatives have been taken by the Reserve Bank of India in strengthening the Payment
and Settlement systems in banks.
According to the RBI Report in 2016-17 there are 2, 22,475 Automated Teller Machines
(ATMs) and 25, 29,141 Point of Sale devices (POS). Implementation of electronic
payment system such as NEFT (National Electronic Fund Transfer), ECS (Electronic
Clearing Service), RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement), Cheque Truncation System,
8
Mobile banking system, Debit cards, Credit Cards, Prepaid cards have all gained wide
acceptance in Indian banks. These are all remarkable landmarks in the digital revolution
in the banking sector. Online banking has changed the face of banking and brought about
a noteworthy transformation in the banking operations.
National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT) is the most commonly used electronic
payment method for transferring money from any bank branch to another bank in India. It
operates in half hourly batches. At present there are 23 settlements.
Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) is primarily used for high-value transactions which
are based on 'real time'. The minimum amount to be remitted through RTGS is Rupees
Two Lakhs. There is no upper limit. Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) is an instant
electronic funds transfer facility offered by National Payments Corporation of India
(NPCI) which is available 24 x 7.
a. Education
A lack of knowledge about banking in itself is a hurdle for many. Also many parts of
India still struggle with a very low literacy rate. Many people don’t know how to use
computer. Thus illiteracy is a drawback for banks, as making an illiterate customer aware
about the online banking is a biggest challenge as the customer lacks in knowledge.
b. Fear
There are a number of unfounded fears individuals have about the use of the internet.
Cases of fraud are often blown out of proportion, and this adds to the fear factor, resulting
in a number of ill-informed customers being nervous to use digital banking.
9
c. Training
There is much resistance from within the banking industry itself. Employees are not
trained in the use of innovative technology. They are unable to utilize different features
of digital banking and hence are wary about its implementation.
A study conducted in 2015 revealed that 47% of bankers see potential to improve
customer relationship through digital banking, 44% see it as a means to generate
competitive advantage, 32% as a channel for new customer acquisition. Only 16%
emphasized the potential for cost saving.
Business efficiency
Not only do digital platforms improve interaction with customers and deliver their needs
more quickly; they also provide methods for making internal functions more efficient.
While banks have been at the forefront of digital technology at the consumer end for
decades, they have not completely embraced all the benefits of middleware to accelerate
productivity.
Cost savings
One of the keys for banks to cut costs is automated applications that replace redundant
manual labor. Traditional bank processing is costly, slow and prone to human error,
according to McKinsey & Company. Relying on people and paper also takes up office
space, which runs up energy and storage costs. Digital platforms can future reduces costs
through the synergies of more qualitative data and faster response to market changes.
Increased accuracy
Traditional banks that rely mainly on paper processing can have an error rate of up to
40%, which requires reworking. Coupled with lack of IT integration between branch and
back office personnel, this problem reduces business efficiency. By simplifying the
10
verification process, it's easier to implement IT solutions with business software, leading
to more accurate accounting. Financial accuracy is crucial for banks to comply with
government regulations.
Improved competitiveness
Digital solutions help manage marketing lists, allowing banks to reach broader markets
and build closer relationships with tech savvy consumers. CRM platforms can track
customer history and provide quick access to email and other forms of online
communication. It's effective for executing customer rewards programs that can improve
loyalty and satisfaction.
Greater agility
The use of automation can speed up both external and internal processes, both of which
can improve customer satisfaction. Following the collapse of financial markets in 2008,
an increased emphasis was placed on risk management. Instead of banks hiring and
training risk management professionals, it's possible for risk management software to
detect and respond to market changes more quickly than even seasoned professionals.
Enhanced security
All businesses big or small face a growing number of cyber threats that can damage
reputations. In February 2016 the Internal Revenue Service announced it had been
hacked the previous year, as did several big tech companies. Banks can benefit from
extra layers of security to protect data.
Technology Issues
In many ways, an online bank is only as good as your — or their — internet connection.
If there’s a power outage, or if servers go down, you might not have any access to your
11
account whatsoever. While some banks offer a phone number for customer service, it
might be overwhelmed if online access is down. With a real bank, you can always find
someone to talk to in the branch.
Security Issues
While many online banks are reputable and well-established, sometimes it can be hard to
feel comfortable with a bank that doesn’t have a physical presence, particularly when
large sums of money are involved. There’s also the risk of identity theft — or actual theft
— if someone gains unauthorized access the account via a hacked or stolen password or
log-in credentials.
Online banks might be able to transfer money between accounts or pay bills, but you
might be more comfortable with an international, bricks-and-mortar bank if you have
complex transactions. Worldwide, business-oriented banks like Chase have global
transaction capabilities, such as the ability to send payments to more than 35 different
currencies worldwide, that online banks might not be able to muster. Without a real-
world presence, most online banks can’t even offer the services of a notary public, which
require an in-person visit and necessary for most important financial transactions like
buying a home.
Over time, you can develop a relationship with a personal banker if you visit a traditional
bricks-and-mortar location. If you’re dealing with an online bank, on the other hand,
you’re typically handed off to an anonymous customer service agent who is unlikely to
know you from the next customer. If you’re really in a bind, financially speaking, having
a relationship with someone who can help and who knows you well can be a major
advantage over a strictly online banking relationship.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The banking sector is the section of the economy devoted to the holding of financial
assets for others, investing those financial assets as leverage to create more wealth and
the regulation of those activities by government agencies.
Banking can be defined as the business activity of accepting and safeguarding money
owned by other individuals and entities, and then lending out this money in order to earn
a profit. However, with the passage of time, the activities covered by banking business
have widened and now various other services are also offered by banks. The banking
services these days include issuance of debit and credit cards, providing safe custody of
valuable items, lockers, ATM services and online transfer of funds across the country /
world.
It is well said that banking plays a silent, yet crucial part in our day-to-day lives. The
banks perform financial intermediation by pooling savings and channelizing them into
investments through maturity and risk transformations, thereby keeping the economy’s
growth engine revving.
Banking business has done wonders for the world economy. The simple looking method
of accepting money deposits from savers and then lending the same money to borrowers,
banking activity encourages the flow of money to productive use and investments. This in
turn allows the economy to grow. In the absence of banking business, savings would sit
idle in our homes, the entrepreneurs would not be in a position to raise the money,
ordinary people dreaming for a new car or house would not be able to purchase cars or
houses.
As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s banking sector is sufficiently capitalized
and well- regulated. The financial and economic conditions in the country are far superior
to any other country in the world. Credit, market and liquidity risk studies suggest that
Indian banks are generally resilient and have withstood the global downturn well.
14
Indian banking industry has recently witnessed the roll out of innovative banking models
like payments and small finance banks. RBI’s new measures may go a long way in
helping the restructuring of the domestic banking industry.
The digital payments system in India has evolved the most among 25 countries with
India’s Immediate Payment Service (IMPS) being the only system at level 5 in the Faster
Payments Innovation Index (FPII).
Sector composition
The above picture indicates that growth in terms of interest income of public sector banks
has decreased and it has increased for private sector banks and there is a constant growth
of foreign banks since last 6 years.
15
Market Size
The Indian banking system consists of 27 public sector banks, 21 private sector banks, 49
foreign banks, 56 regional rural banks, 1,562 urban cooperative banks and 94,384 rural
cooperative banks, in addition to cooperative credit institutions. In FY07-18, total lending
increased at a CAGR of 10.94 per cent and total deposits increased at a CAGR of 11.66
per cent. India’s retail credit market is the fourth largest in the emerging countries. It
increased to US$ 281 billion on December 2017 from US$ 181 billion on December
2014.

Government Initiatives
As of September 2018, the Government of India has made the Pradhan Mantri Jan
Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) scheme an open ended scheme and has also added more
incentives.
The Government of India is planning to inject Rs 42,000 crore (US$ 5.99 billion)
in the public sector banks by March 2019 and will infuse the next tranche of
recapitalization by mid- December 2018.
Road Ahead
Also, the advancements in technology have brought the mobile and internet banking
services to the fore. The banking sector is laying greater emphasis on providing improved
18
services to their clients and also upgrading their technology infrastructure, in order to
enhance the customer’s overall experience as well as give banks a competitive edge.
India’s digital lending stood at US$ 75 billion in FY18 and is estimated to reach US$ 1
trillion by FY2023 driven by the five-fold increase in the digital disbursements.
1. STRENGHT
So long as humans have been alive, there have been forms of banking. Initially, it was a
bartering and exchange system, but now it’s much more than that. Banking teaches us the
value of money, gives us access to loans to reach our dreams, and provides a host of other
services related to credit cards, savings, and bonds.
It’s because of banking that we’ve seen such economic growth at home and worldwide.
Supply and demand have fostered this growth and also improved financial trade, financial
stability, and financial security. It’s also one factor behind increased employment and the
reduction of worldwide poverty.
After experiencing a loss or natural calamity, the banking industry helps customers get
back on their feet. Insurance, investment, and loan options are to thank for this.
19
d. Digital banking convenience.
It’s now easier than ever to do banking online. You can deposit your check, pay your
bills, and apply for a credit card without stepping foot into your bank’s branch. However,
for more “in-depth” services, you’ll likely still need to make an appointment with a
financial advisor. Some things are better handled in-person than electronically.
2. WEAKNESSES
Because the banking industry handles finances, it’s a vulnerable industry. It also relies
heavily on the coordination of the economy, but this is a problem on a global scale.
Europe holds more than 50% of the global market. Should it face a recession, the rest of
the world (and banks) could suffer by proxy. Fluctuating currencies and exchange rates
can also be trouble for banks.
Many banks still use outdated IT infrastructure to host online services. For instance, some
banking websites don’t use case sensitive passwords or allow customers to put special
characters in passwords. This makes passwords extremely weak and easy for hackers to
brute-force into your accounts.
Considering it holds your life savings, most customers expect their banks to follow
updated policies, regulations, and infrastructure to keep their information protected. And
yet, it’s taking the banking industry too long to keep up with technological
advancements. Because of that, many banks suffer from digital vulnerabilities and
potential security bugs.
20
c. No access to rural areas.
Rural regions don’t have access to banking services. Part of this is because of conflicts
between government objectives and banking objectives. Another reason for the lack of
access is because providing services to rural areas can be more trouble than it’s worth
financially.
3. OPPORTUNITIES
As mentioned in the weaknesses section, the banking industry hasn’t approached rural
areas yet. It’s an opportunity to get more customers, but achieving such a move isn’t a
small feat. It may take dozens of years before this approach is successful.
Banks should keep up with consumer demands and demographic changes. Having a
banking app isn’t enough — consumers (especially millennial) crave more options.
Providing what people want will require heavy research from banks. It will also require
segmenting customers to create custom-service options. For instance, what students
opening their first account needs will differ greatly from homeowners or business
owners.
If banks fail to address the demands and desires of customers, they’ll lose them. After all,
there’s always another bank they can easily go to.
4. THREATS
The biggest threat to any industry handling money is a recession. It’s the most critical
threat that can make or break a business. If small and big businesses fall, it’ll have a
direct consequence on the banking industry.
21
b. Data breaches.
With banks offering more online options, it also increases the risk for data breaches.
People give other websites like invoicing companies (like PayPal) access to their bank to
receive and transfer money. If these companies have a breach, it gives hackers access to
personal bank accounts. Although there is nothing banks can do for breaches on other
websites they can make sure their own is heavily protected against hackers.
c. So much competition.
Banks have a ton of competition; not just with other banks, but with other alternative
finance companies. This includes mutual fund companies and insurance companies.
Millennial are especially receptive to getting financial services from fintech
companies rather than traditional banks.
The Indian banking space is an exciting and dynamic one. Here is a list of the top 10
banking companies in the country, going by market capitalization
