Introduction
Bajaj Finserv
Bajaj Finserv was formed in April 2007 as a result of its demerger from Bajaj Auto Limited to

Who is a consumer?
An individual who buys products or services for personal use and not for manufacture or
resale. A consumer is someone who can make the decision whether or not to purchase an
item at the store, and someone who can be influenced by marketing and advertisements. Any
time someone goes to a store and purchases a toy, shirt, beverage, or anything else, they are
making that decision as a consumer.
A consumer can be defined as a person who purchases goods or service for self-
consumption. He causes disappearance of the goods or services produced by the marketer by
consuming them. If anyone purchases goods or services for reselling the goods or services at
a profit he cannot be called as a consumer.
Meaning of finance.
Finance is defined as the management of money and includes activities like investing
borrowing, lending, saving, and forecasting. There is many different career path and jobs that
performs a wide range of finance activities. The word finance was originally a French word.
IN the 18th century English-speaking communities to mean the management of money adopted it.
Today finance is not merely a word it has emerged into an academic discipline of greater
significance. Finance is nothing but an exchange of available resources. Finance is the soul of
our economic activities. To perform any economic activity we need certain resources, which
are to be pooled in terms of money.

Finance is a field that the allocation of assets and liabilities over space and time, often under
conditions of risk or uncertainty. Finance can also be defined as the art of money
management. Participants in the market aim to price assets based on their risk level,
fundamental value, and their expected rate of return. Finance can be split into three sub-
categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.
Public finance is the study of the role of the government in the economy. It is the branch of
economics, which assesses the government revenue and government expenditure of the
public authorities and the adjustment of one or the other to achieve desirable effects and
avoid undesirable ones.
Corporate finance is an area of finance that deals with sources of funding, the capital structure
of corporations, the actions that managers take to increase the value of the firm to the
shareholders, and the tools and analysis used to allocate financial resources. The primary goal
of corporate finance is to maximize or increase shareholder value.
Personal finance is the process of effectively managing assets in the possession of an
individual or a family. The approach dictates that attention is given to the generation of
income for the household, allotting specific amounts of that income to cover all expenses
associated with the household, and take action to create reserves of cash and other assets for
on-going financial security. A wide variety of resources can be called upon to aid in the
process of personal finance.

Consumer finance
The term consumer finance refers to all activities concerned with consumer credit which will
enable the consumer to have possession of the goods without necessarily have paid the full
value of goods. It is called credit buying, hire purchase, pay out of income scheme etc.
The division of retail banking that deals with lending money to consumers. This includes a
wide variety of loans, including credit cards, mortgage loans, and auto loans, and can also be
used to refer to loans taken out at either the prime rate or the subprime rate.
Many people see the field of consumer finance as a murky swamp filled with different rules
and regulations, but if looked at carefully the information on things such as loans, credit and
borrowing can be easily and simply understood.

CONSUMER FINANCE IN BAJAJ FINSERV Page 3

According to Reavis Cox, consumer credit is Business procedure through which consumer
purchase semi durables, durables other than real estate in order to obtain from them a series
of payments extending over a period of three months to five years and obtain possession of
them when only a fraction of the total price has been paid.
According to E.R.A Seligman, The term consumer credit refers to a transfer of wealth, the
payment of which deferred in whole or part, to future, and is liquidated piecemeal or in
successive fractions under a plan agreed upon at the time of the transfer.
It depends on what you mean by "consumer finance" and in which country you live.
One broad definition of consumer finance is this: the financing of goods and services for
consumer.
This definition brings a lot of product into play:
- Uncollateralized personal loan, such as Credit Card or Cash personal loans
- Payday loans
- Ownership loans are a type of loan where a Financial Service company finance the purchase
of an item: car financing, property financing. You don't own a car, you want to own it, and
the banks help you.
- Refinancing loans is a loan type where a Financial Service company provide cash with an
item being pledge as collateral: car refinancing, property refinancing. You already own a car,
you want cash and you're willing to put the car as collateral.

- Looking at the above product, most banks certainly fit the bill as "consumer finance"
company. Other example of consumer finance company would be specialist lenders. They are
what often cited as "consumer finance" company in the narrower term.
- The difference between banks and these specialist lenders are the source of funding, which is
the money the bank or specialist lenders provide to people who borrow money.
- Bank gets their funding from depositors, individuals or companies that expect nothing funny
will happen to their money.
- Specialist lenders get their funding from their shareholders, banks, or the capital markets.
Specialist lenders are often prevented from taking money from depositors. In some country,
that privilege is only given to banks.

CONSUMER FINANCE IN BAJAJ FINSERV Page 4


TYBMS

This restriction exists because many depositors are deemed less financially savvy than
investors and thus have to be protected; mainly by putting safeguards into banks and how
banks handle deposits. It doesn't mean individual can't put money in specialist lenders. They
can do it by buying share or bonds from the specialist lenders, but it comes with higher risk
for the individual investor. Some asset types (e.g. car) have large value that most customers
can't afford to pay in one single payment, and thus is natural object of financing. Thus for car,
it's typical for automotive companies to also own specialist lenders to finance the purchase of
their car.
So, consumer finance companies are those that help consumer finance a purchase or receive
loans for various purposes. Example of such companies is banks and specialist lenders.
Consumer finance has become very popular in India especially for the sale of consumer
durables such as television sets, refrigerators, motor vehicles etc. It is an ideal sales
promotion device, which gives consumers the benefit of enjoying a certain product even
before the full value has been paid.

2. It assists consumers to acquire assets.
3. Consumers get possession of the assets immediately when a fraction of the price is paid.
4. The balance payment is payable in installments over an agreed span of time.
5. The duration of the finance normally ranges between three months to five years.
6. It is an agreement between parties to the contract.
7. When there are only two parties to the contract, it is called a Bipartite Agreement (the
customer and the dealer cum financier) and where there are three parties, such agreements are
called Tripartite Agreements (the customer, the dealer and the financier.)
8. The structure of financing may by way of hire-purchase, conditional sale or credit sale. In

on completion of all the terms of agreement. But in the case of credit sale ownership is
transferred immediately on payment of first installment.

Advantages of consumer finance:
1. Compulsory Savings:
Consumer credit promotes compulsory savings habit among the people. To make periodical
installments knowingly or unknowingly, people cut short their other expenditures and save.
These savings ultimately fetch them ownership of an asset in course of time. Thus consumer
credit adds to the savings habit of people.
2. Convenience:
Considering the nature and type of customers, consumer credit facility offers schemes to the
convenience and satisfaction of the customers. Walk in and drive out, pay as you earn,
everything at the door step, one time processing etc. are examples.
3. Emergencies:
Consumer credit facility is available to meet personal requirements like family requirements,
festival requirements, emergencies etc. The credit facility is not strictly restricted to
purchasing of consumer durables alone. In ordinary course of life people come across number
of urgent financial requirements, for which consumer credit offers a better solution.
4. Assists to Meet Targets:
In all business activities, there will be targets to be achieved by the executives. Most people
abstain/ postpone purchasing for want of sufficient fund. When the dealer themselves arrange
for fund people get attracted and purchase take place in large quantity. Thus it assists to meet
sales targets and profit targets.
5. Assists to Make Dreams to Reality:
A car, a TV, a washing machine, a computer, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc. is undoubtedly a
dream of an average human being. But people may not purchase because of fund problem. In
those cases consumer credit facilitates an opportunity to possess and own those dreams on
convenient terms.

6. Enhances Living Standard:


Consumer credit enhances living standard of the people by providing latest articles and
amenities at reasonable and affordable terms.
7. Accelerates Industrial Investments:
Demand for consumer durables enhances further investment in the consumer durables
industry. Thus provides more and more employment opportunities in the country.
8. Promotes Economic Development:
Demand for consumer durables, further investments in consumer durables industry, increased
living standard of people, improved employment opportunities and income etc. improves
economic development of the country.
9. Economies of Large Scale Production:
Increased demand leads to large scale production. Large scale operations lead to the
economies of large scale operation. This in turn leads to lower prices. Unless there is such a
convenient mode of financing, total demand for consumer finance will be far lesser.
Disadvantages of consumer finance
1. Promotes Blind Buying:
Facility to purchase at somebody else‟s money tempts people to buy and buy goods blindly.
This may lend these people to debt trap within a short while.
2. Leads to Insolvency:
Blind buying of goods make these people insolvent/bankrupt within a shorter span of time.
This ultimately spoils their life in the long run.
3. Consumer Credit is Costlier:
Along with the convenience that it offers it charge the customer for all these conveniences
offered. Thus it becomes costlier when compared to other forms of finance.
4. Artificial Boom:
The economic development posed by the impact of consumer credit is not real but artificial.
Economy will take years to stabilize the artificial boom claimed by the proponents of
consumer credit.

Review of literature
Consumer credit regulation was ignored by both Parliament and the courts for over 800 years,
with the judges and Members of Parliament taking the attitude that there was no reason to
interfere with fairly concluded contracts The first piece of legislation to deal with consumer
credit was the Bills of Sale Act 1854, which required bills of sale to be registered. This
allowed the courts to intervene for the first time, since an unregistered bill of sale was void
and could not be claimed by creditors. This act was followed by the Bills of Sale Act 1878
and the Bills of Sale Act (1878) Amendment Act 1882, which provided limited protection for
debtors. Outside of these acts, however, little was done between 1854 and 1900, and
moneylenders used this to their advantage, sometimes abusively; the report of the House of
Commons Select Committee on Money-Lending in 1898 included testimony from one
moneylender who admitted he charged 3,000% interest, while another had worked under 34
different aliases to avoid having notoriety associated with his name.
As a result of this report the Moneylenders Act 1900 was passed, which required registration
for moneylenders and allowed the courts to dissolve "unfair" moneylending agreements. This
act had two main weaknesses, however; firstly, many of the debtors who would like to sue
their moneylender to have the agreement cancelled were by definition poor, and could not
afford legal representation. Secondly, the Act only focused on specific types of lenders;
lending by a single moneylender was covered, lending by a bank was not. In 1927 a second
Moneylenders Act was passed, which required licensing as well as registration and forbade
moneylenders from employing agents, canvasses or sending out unsolicited advertisements.
Unfortunately the 1900 and 1927 Acts also covered commercial transactions, and since
people lending money in a commercial area were not excluded as banks were, a slight
infraction could make a loan completely irrecoverable. This was partially solved with the
passing of the Companies Act 1967, which allowed the Board of Trade to give individual
moneylenders licenses saying that they were acting as banks, not moneylenders.
As a result of the restrictions on business caused by the Moneylenders Act 1927, the idea of
hire-purchase developed. These were first regulated by the Hire-Purchase and Small Debt
(Scotland) Act 1932, which only covered Scotland; England and Wales was first covered by
the Hire-Purchase Act 1938, later amended by the Hire-Purchase Act 1954 and the Hire-
Purchase Act 1964. The 1965 Act applied to all hire-purchase agreements worth less than
£2,000 and when the hirer and buyer was not a corporation.

Crowther Committee
In 1965 the Crowther Committee was established to look at the state of consumer credit law
in the United Kingdom. Chaired by Lord Crowther, the Committee began sitting in December
that year and eventually extended their review to cover consumer credit generally rather than
just the bills of sale and moneylending they had initially been concerned with, and their
report was finally published in March 1971.The report discussed the economic, social and
legal aspects of consumer credit, and concluded that the existing law was so confused and
unsatisfactory that it was not worth amending. Instead it recommended the complete repeal of
all existing legislation and its replacement with two new acts: a Lending and Security Act,
which would regulate legitimate business transactions, and a Consumer Sale and Loan Act
which would regulate consumer credit and establish a licensed system for its use.
The reaction to the report from consumer and business organisations was overwhelmingly
positive, but the government initially did nothing, since the Department of Trade and Industry
wanted time to work out the particular details of any Acts. Baroness Phillips eventually forced
their hand a year later, who initiated a debate in the House of Lords on the matter. The
government's official statement was that they were willing to accept almost all the
recommendations made about consumer credit; they did not wish to legislate on lending and
securities. In February 1973 they created a Voluntary Code which they expected those
lending to observe. The Code set out guidelines for loaning money to individuals and
disclosing the cost of the loan. The Act was first introduced to Parliament as the Consumer
Credit Bill at the beginning of November 1973, and initially ran to 96 pages. It was given its
second reading on 14
November, and was welcomed by both the government and opposition. By February 1974 it
had passed through the Committee Stage, but its progress was cut short by a general election
in the same month. The Act did not go to the full extent suggested by the Crowther
Committee's report, with protection only being available for consumers, not for the credit
industry. The Act was widely supported by all sides of the political spectrum, and by
academia in1925.
Over the last few years, consumer credit gained momentum to reach about 14 per cent of the
total credit to private sector in February 2008-against 2.1 per cent in 2002. Considering it the
best way to utilise excess liquidity available at that time and benefit from the low interest
rate, almost every bank got involved in consumer financing. But this proved to be a short-

lived phenomenon and became the very first causality of the recent banking and financial
crisis.
The policy makers try to imitate the example of other countries. They have put the cart before
the horse. In the US and other countries, where consumer finance form a substantial part of
total credit, it is the need of the consumer society which necessitated the emergence of
consumer finance. But here it was assumed that by taking the benefit of excess liquidity and
low interest rates, cheap consumer loans would establish the consumer culture and strengthen
the middle class which, in turn, would boost the economy. But this proved unrealistic.
Currently, the banks are suffering from tight liquidity position but they are ready to give
credit to the private sector. However, the overall credit flows to private sector have slowed
down due to economic slump in the US and EU markets and the structural problems of textile
industry etc. The borrowers are not interested in getting the loans. In July-February 2009, the
credit to private sector grew only by 4.6 per cent in the last year. In fact, during December-
February 2009 the credit to private sector declined by Rs12.7 billion in contrast to an increase
of Rs145.8 billion in July-November 2008. But the situation is different in the case of
financing of various categories of consumers. Banks are not only reluctant but most of them
have altogether stopped the consumer financing. Thus the Outstanding amount for all
categories of consumer finance has declined during the first eight months of the current fiscal
year.

Suggestions

✓ Consumer finance has to do with the lending process that occurs between the
consumer and a lender. In some instances, the lender may be a bank or financial
institution. At other times, the lender may be a business that offers in house credit in
exchange for the business of the consumer. Consumer finance can include just about
any type of lending activity that result in the extension of credit to a consumer.
✓ Most people have received financial assistance in obtaining desirable products
through the use of consumer finance methods. In retail banking, the lender extends
secured and unsecured loans to consumers who wish to purchase automobiles, homes,
or engage in other activities that require substantial financing, such as remodelling a
home. Generally, consumer lending of this type caries some degree of competition,
since the consumer with a solid credit rating can often shop around and secure
superior interest rates and terms for the loan agreement.
✓ At the same time, not all forms of consumer finance are in the best interests of the
consumer. In many parts of the world, institutions are in the business of lending
money even to consumers with poor credit ratings, or who lack a reasonable ability to
repay the borrowed funds. This can take the form of credit card offers, loans with
extremely high rates of interest included in the finance structure of the loan, and other
terms that will be difficult if not impossible for the consumer to meet.
✓ As with any type of financial arrangement, it is important for the consumer to
understand the exact nature of the commitment that is made as part of any consumer
finance strategy. By understanding and accepting the terms and conditions associated
with any lending situation, the consumer is pledging that the ability to repay within
terms is present, and that the consumer has every intention of complying with each
component or section of the loan agreement. To this end, it is in the best interests of
the individual consumer to seek out the most desirable arrangements for any type of
consumer finance, taking care to avoid any situation that will place an undue amount
of stress on the resources in the possession of the consumer.
