ABSTRACT
Housing Finance is a high-flying sector these days and is tipped to grow at a
phenomenal 36% P.a. Banks and financial institutions have brought sea changes in
their strategies and there is shift from seller’s market to buyer’s market. Liberal tax
incentives by the government, low and competitive interest rates for housing finance has
made this sector as red-hot sector. House is center and domestic device for mankind's
moral and substance development ever since the dawn of civilization. Housing is one of
the most important that we human beings need. Adequate housing is essential for human
survival with dignity. There are many things that we would find difficult, if not
impossible to do without good-quality housing. Housing shortage is a universal
phenomenon. It is more acute in developing countries. The housing scenario has become
more critical in India in recent years. India has initiated so many housings reform that
has taken many forms and manifestations characterized by the reduction in social
allocation, cutbacks in public funding and promotion of a real estate culture in close
partnership between the state and private actors. Mortgage financing markets canplay
an important role in stimulating affordable housing markets and improving housing
quality in many countries. Unfortunately, these are still in infancy in India. Thislack of
development often translates into lower homeownership rates or poor housing quality.
Most of these problems stem from the central dilemma that the resources are always too
limited and housing development heavily depend on the financial institutions such as
banks, credit corporations and development banks for the supply of finance to meet their
daily financial needs. Against this backdrop, this paper will assess basic nuances of
Indian financing system. Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd (HDFC)is one
of the leaders in the Indian housing finance market with almost 17% market share as
on March 2010. Serving more than 38 lakh Indian customers as on March 2021, HDFC
also offers customized solutions that fit to the need of the customer. In the FY 2020-21, it
registered a net profit of `4528.41 crore. It also registered a net profit of ` 971 crore in
the quarter ended September 30, 2021.LIC Housing Finance
another major player in housing finance sector in India with hold of 8% market share.It also
registered a net profit of 256.50 crore in April- June quarter of 2021.This paper performs
analytical study of Housing Finance in India with special reference to HDFC and LIC
Housing Finance Ltd and analyzes the performance of this sectorwhile identifying the its
problems and challenges.

Chapter 1-
INTRODUCTION
Housing is one of the basic needs of mankind in terms of safety, security, self-esteem, social status, cultural
identity, satisfaction, and achievement. Growth in the housing sector is regardedas one of the indicators,
which has a reflection on the health of a particular economy. Today, for India to achieve balanced economic
growth, it is essential to boost construction activity in the housing sector. Since Independence growth in the
Indian population has aggravated the problem of housing for Indian citizens. Out of the total population of
1027 million about 742 million live in rural areas and 285 million live in the urban areas. There are 27 cities
with morethan one million populations. This rapid urbanization has led to many homeless households, rapid
growth of slums and unauthorized colonies, rampant speculation and deficient availability of water sanitation
and basic facilities. This has also brought along with itdisproportionately higher demand for housing- be it
for upper market, middle market and for low-income category of population. Real estate and dwellings have
a share of 5.9 per cent in India’s GDP and a growth of 7.2 percent in 2020-21. The growth of real estate
services in has been consistently impressive at over 25 per cent since 2015-16 with26.3 per cent growth in
2020-21. Housing is a necessity for human life and second largest generator of employment, next only to
agriculture. Housing activities have both forward and backward linkages in nearly 300 sub-sectors such as
manufacturing (steel, cement, and builders’ hardware), transport, electricity, gas and water Supply, trade,
financial services, and construction which contribute to capital formation, income opportunities, and
generation of employment. In 2012-13 property prices have moderated. As per the National Housing Bank
(NHB) RESIDEX index for the quarter July-September 2012 compared to April-June 2012 (covering 20
cities, with 2007 as base year), there is a general decline in prices of residential properties in some smaller
towns, while there is increase in some other cities which is marginal.In view of increased urbanization, the
housing requirements in urban areas have been witnessing increase over the years. The Eleventh Five Year
Plan (2007-12) estimated housing requirement of24.7 million units in urban areas of which 99 percent was
in the economically weaker sections/lower income groups (EWS/LIG) segment. As per the estimation of the
Task Force on Housing Requirements in Urban Areas during the Twelfth Five Year Plan Period (2012-17),
the housing requirement in urban areas is 18.7 million units of which 18.5million are for the EWS/LIG
segment. As per a McKinsey Report, the demand for affordable housing willbe 38 million by 2030. To
support the growth of the housing and real estate sector, many institutions have been setup especially for
financing. While these institutions largely cater to the formal sector, access to finance by the informal market
segment largely remains untapped. As this untapped market segment is significant and growing, the
Government of India has announced various measures like the Interest Subsidy Scheme for Housing for the
Urban Poorand setting up of the Credit Risk Guarantee Fund Trust for Low Income Housing. However, due
to limited housing finance solutions, the gap between housing demand and supply is

widening. Besides the mortgage market in India is also underdeveloped. While advanced countries like the
US were rattled by the sub-prime crisis, Indian banks have Demonstrated a great amount of maturity in their
lending for the housing sector. The government has also takenmany policy measures for this sector. Rapid
increase in land prices, absence of a long-term funding and lending market at fixed rates, limited developer
finance, the Urban Land Ceiling Regulations Act (ULCRA) continuing in some states, existing lower floor
area ratio in cities, high stamp duties and difficulties in land acquisition are some other issues which need
to be addressed. ‘Affordable Housing for All’ is another challenge as the demand for housing by the
EWS/LIG segment Has increased.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Introduction of Banking
Banks are institutions that accept deposits from customers or the public to provide loans to the
poor and expand other SD services. Now the private sector banks are introduced and their
functions are changed. Private sector banks have become profit centers, insurance companies and
mutual funds. However, nationalized banks provide loans for rural development activities such
as education and agriculture. Therefore, they are always service-oriented.
Banks offer facilities for depositing and withdrawing money when needed. It provides a safe
place to save money and lends money to the borrower for the job well done. They provide
savings accounts, deposits and loans using these deposits.
Phase - I
The General Bank of India was established in the year 1786. Banks in Bengal and Hindustan
have since been established. In 1809, the East India Company was called the Presidential Banks
in 1843, when the bank of Mumbai and Bank of Madras were established as independent banks
in 1840. In 1920, these three banks emerged. Imperial Bank of Indi launched and founded
European shareholders and individual shareholders.
The first exclusive bank in India was the Allahabad Bank and was founded in 1965. The Punjab
National Bank Ltd. was founded in 1894 and is headquartered in Lahore. The Indian Bank,
Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Mysore Central Bank in India and Baroda Bank were established
between 1906 and 1913, in 1935 the Reserve Bank of India was established.
8
The growth at this phase was very slow and faced periodic failures between the years 1913 and
1948. In 1949, the Indian Government proposed the Banking Companies Act to simplify the
functions and activities of commercial banks. This law was later amended to become the
Banking Regulations Act of 1949, in accordance with the amended Act of 1965. The Reserve
Bank of India is authorized with wide power to supervise the banks in India.
At that time the public had low confidence in the bank. The mobilization of deposits was very
slow in the wake. The postal service offered a better savings bank and was relatively safe.
Merchants also received more money.
Phase - II
After independence, the reform of the Indian banking sector by the government has reached
important milestones. In 1955, in the urban and rural areas the Imperial Bank of India was
nationalized through large scale banking facilities. The State Bank of India was created to
manage federal and provincial government banking across the country and served as a key agent
for RBI.
On July 19, 1960, the seven banks constituting the subsidiaries of the State Bank of India were
nationalized. Former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has made considerable efforts to
nationalize the country's commercial banks.
Seven banks that continued the reform of the banking sector in 1980 were carried out during the
second stage of nationalization. In India, 80% of the banking sector belongs to the government.
To regulate the banking system in India the Indian government has taken the following steps:
The decree implementing the Banking Act dates from 1949.
The State Bank of India was nationalized in 1955.
The State Bank of India subsidiary was nationalized in 1959.
The coverage of insurance was extended to deposits until 1961.
14 major banks were nationalized in the year 1969.
In 1971 credit guarantee companies were established.
Local rural bank was created in 1975.
Seven banks with more than 200 deposits were nationalized in 1980.
9
After nationalization of banks public sector agencies grew to about 800 percent of deposits, and a
substantial increase of 11,000 percent thereafter.
Public banks have a lot of confidence in sustainability.
Phase III
At this point, there was an introducing to facilities in the banking sector with more products. The
committee was created in 1991 and was working on the liberalization of banking practices under
the chairmanship of Mr. Narasimha.
Foreign banks and ATMs flood the country. More important than money over time, we have
implemented more convenient online and telephone banking. We strive to provide a satisfactory
service to our customers.
The Indian financial system is highly resilient. It is protected from crises caused by external
macroeconomic shocks, as has been the case for other East Asian countries. Indeed, they all have
flexible exchange rate, high foreign exchange, capital accounts but are not yet fully convertible.
Banks and their clients have limited exposure to currency risk.

There is competition between private banks. In the banking sector there are a total of twenty
seven private sector banks. Eight of these are new, actively selling products and introducing
advanced technology, and the remaining 19 are former private sector banks. These days there is
always a competition between the new private sector bank and public sector banks. The new
personal space will be referred to the bank created in the 1990s in accordance with the guidelines
of the Narasimha Committee Bank.
By 2010, the Bank of India is expected to have $ 1 trillion in assets because of its phenomenal
pace and growth. There are technological innovations to develop the banking sector in India and
develop in the economy and the middle class.
There are more than 320 million middle-class people in this country. Some factors that promise
continuous expansion of banks are raising incomes, increasing correlation with economic
growth, improved living standards and the economic situation.
It is more focused on expanding retail banks and rural banks during the IT revolution.
Stakeholders have more innovative ways to deliver new customer-focused financial products and
services. Banks have begun to pay more attention to mergers and acquisitions in order to
capitalize on economies of scale. Indian banking assets are expected to reach $ 1 trillion by 2010
and foreign capital inflows are expected to increase. The focus should be on securing a small
number of big players that can compete globally rather than securing a large number of
fragmented players.
12
Growth of Foreign Banks in India
There will be more names added to the list of foreign banks of India by 2019 to 2020. The best
private bank in the world is the UBS Bank Swiss by EURO Money.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To study the customer’s satisfaction levels towards housing finance banks in India.
To understand why customers preferred the HDFC and LIC Housing Finance Ltd. forhome loan
in India.
HYPOTHESIS
Some of the Hypotheses that are tested in this study are as follows:
There is no association between Age, Educational Qualification, Profession, YearlyIncome of
Respondents and the Amount of Loan Applied for.
There is no association between the Age, Yearly Income, Profession, EducationalQualification of
Respondents and Sanctioned Loan Amount.

METHODOLOGY
The study is based on primary as well as secondary data. Primary data are collected through theresponses
of the customers through questionnaires which were specially prepared for this study.The questionnaire
contained questions regarding the general and socio-economic characteristicsof the respondents such
as age, religion, educational qualification, etc. and about their reason for taking home loan, term, rate of
interest, procedure etc. We conducted the pilot studyby selecting five respondents each banks including
HDFC and LIC Housing Finance Ltd. Based on their responses, some questions were modified and the
modified questionnaire wasfinally canvassed among the 150 selected respondents. A sample size of 140was
used since 140respondents have taken for detailed study because it is not possible to cover the whole
universeconsisting of all the customers. Among these 140 respondents,70 respondents were selected from
HDFC Bank and another 70 respondents were selected from LICHF Ltd. Primary data also included
information collected by personal interview with managers of HDFC and LIC Housing Finance Ltd.
There was extensive use of secondary information in the form of books,articles published in magazines,
journals, newspaper, reports of HDFC and LIC Housing Finance Ltd., websites, circulars, pamphlets of the
banks, clippings etc. The questionnaires werefilled up during the period of April, 2020 to March 2021. The
sample was selected using a convenient sampling. The collected data were scrutinized and edited. The edited
data were analyzed using the software “Statistical Package for Social Sciences” (SPSS) and
meaningful conclusion were arrived by constructing simple and two-way tables and by using statistical
techniques like chi-square test. Simple table were constructed for analyzing the general information of the
sample. Two-Way table were constructed for the comparative analysis and to know the relationship between
two factors. At last, the associations between different variables were tested by using the chi-square test.
14
Limitations of the study
● In order to conduct this study, data has been taken from FY15 onwards, and hence the results and analysis
of the same, might be biased if we take into account a much longer time period
.
● This study has been conducted based on data derived from the financial statements of the bank and a
number of qualitative aspects might have been ignored while undertaking this study.
● This study has been conducted based on historical performance and the same has been analyzed. As such,
the conclusions might not hold up in the future as the future might be completely different from the past.

CHAPTER 2-
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The issue of housing and housing finance has been receiving increasing attention over the recentdecade in the
extant literature. There have been many studies revised on various observations on this area, few of these
namely; housing is an essential element of life for most human beingspolarized by Naik (1981). According
to J.P. Sah (2011),"housing is not a static but a growing problem and it was cited in Manorama Year Book
(1997) as the modern concept of housing does not limit the idea of housing merely to the provision of shelter
and it is an in an integral part of overall policy improvements of human settlements and economic
development. Krishnamacharya (1980), has stated in the preamble of the National Housing Policy, "shelter
is abasic human need and as an intrinsic part of human settlement, is closely linked with the processof overall
socio-economic development. Housing is an element of material culture, is one of such devices to overcome
threats against physical elements to lives and serves as an importantpurpose by making the provision of
shelter and portrays that housing is as an important precursor of the national business cycle. In this view
Some empirical exercises made on importance of housing among others Satyanarayana (1987), India year
Book (1988), Andar C. Ghent and Michael T. Ouyang (2010), Deshpande (1975) and Ringwald (1977),
Gopinath Rao (1988), Dr. C. Hari Chandran (1989), Solanki (1989), highlighted the magnitude of the
housingproblem in our country is so heavy, that it will require considerable passage of time for the country
to offer a sweet home to every family in our nation. Chacko (1989) believed housing shortage in India in
1981 was 21 million units. In the beginning of the 7th five- year plan in 1985, it was put as 24.7 million
units. Madhav Rao et al. (1995) suggested a multifaceted housing difficulty like ours requires a concrete
national attempt. Amin Y. Kamet(2011), opined that the housing problem has become synonymous with
housing shortages. Erwin Melnyk. (2010) studied about the barriers and opportunities for the further diffusion
of labels for highly energy efficient houses. The Major subsidized housing projects in developing countries
specified by Gonzalo Risaralda (2011) Richard Harris and Chinwe Giles (2003) have done tremendous work
on identified three phases in the evolution of international housing policy since 1945: public housing (1945–
1960s), sites-and-services(1972–1980s), and market enabling (1980s–present. In the opinion of Nickell and
Dorsey (1976)20, the three methods of financing home ownership are cash, cash and credit and contract
method. R.M. Buckley (1989) portrayed that Bank lending for housing finance during the period from 1972
to 1989. Munjeet et al., (1990) opined that credit flows into the housing sectororiginates therefore from
formal or informal sector like, budgetary allocations, of central and state governments, financial institutions
like the LIC, Unit Trust of India, Commercial Banks, provident funds, and Public Sector Institutions such
as HUDCO.As cited by Tiwari (2012), Housing finance in India has grown at a rapid pace during the last
two decades. However, the share of outstanding housing loans as a percentage of GDP stood at only 7.3%
in 2005. Hence,this study emphasizes the importance of affordable housing. Macroeconomic stability and
thehousing sector are inextricably linked. It is estimated that for one Indian Rupee (Rs.) invested

in housing; Rs. 0.78 gets added to the gross domestic product of the country. The housing sectorhas strong
backward and forward linkages to over 250 ancillary industries. Thus, this is an attempt to make a conceptual
framework about Indian housing finance system.

CHAPTER 3-
The Reserved Bank of India approved "in principle" the first housing development company in
the year 1944, HDFC who were the first among the others to establish a private sector bank as
part of the liberal Indian banking sector by RBI. On August 1944, it was registered with an
office-based Mumbai and received the name of "HDFC bank limited". In January 1995, HDFC
Bank began operating as a planned commercial bank.
HDFC is proud of its incredible performance not only in India but also in other international
markets. It is well known as the premier executive housing finance company in India. To be the
leader in mortgage credit market the company has maintained a reliable growth from its
inception in 1977. HDFC has secured a broad client base from the corporate sector for its home-
based credit facilities and retail mortgage expertise in advanced and other market segments. It is
well positioned to promote the bank in the Indian market because of its strong market reputation
and its highly qualified experience in the financial markets.
In 1995, the facile mission, ‘World Class Indian Bank’ had been the starting point for the HDFC
bank to begin its operations. They soon came to the realization that an individually driven mind
that put great emphasis on the product quality and service excellence would be the only way to
achieve their mission. As for today, the bank can proudly declare that they are not far from reaching
their goals.

SWOT Analysis
Strength
The second largest private bank in India is HDFC. Across India this private sector has
13,160 automated teller machines HDFC Bank is successfully running 4,963 branches in
2,727 cities.
HDFC ATM bank cards are a popular choice online transactions and shopping, one of the
reasons being that the cards are internationally compatible with all MasterCard/ Visa,
Visa electron / Maestro and American Express cards. In compassion to other private
banking branches HDFC have a high of customer satisfaction rate.
HDFC provides highly skilled staff who are able to help customers make
sensible investments. Working in private banking can be a stressful and draining job
however the attrition rates at HDFC making it one of the better companies to work for
within the private banking sector.
HDFC has a good recognition among the people and they have received a lot of awards: -
The guidance of HDFC Bank’s financial advisors are good when it comes to guide the
customers to make the right investments.
Weakness
In contrast, HDFC still have difficulties with competitors for example in rural areas ICICI
bank has a stronger presence and popularity.
Individuals using private banking in rural areas feel safe and secure with their bank,
which makes it difficult for HDFC to be considered for banking with them.
HDFC has created doubt in investors’ minds and may have lost out on investors due to
their constant increasing and decreasing of share prices.
There is lack in performance in the banks product categories and it is not reached in the
market.
High end clients are only been focused by the banks. Middle class and others are been
ignored most of the time.
28
Opportunities
When it comes down to debt HDFC have more opportunities compared to the other
government banks this is due to the fact that they have worked to recover from its bad
debt and improve its bad debt portfolio.
HDFC have many branches in different countries and continue to prosper and gain more
opportunities abroad.
The company has the opportunity for a growth in profit rate, because the assets quality
parameters are beneficial when compared to government banks.
Due to strong financial positions, there are greater scope for acquisitions and
strategic alliances.
Threats
ICICI still remain a threat to HDFC which makes it difficult to widen market share.
Government banks are constantly working on ways to become more modernized which is
increasing the competition between government and private banks such as HDFC.
Foreign banks have received up to 74% from the RBI for bank investments within India
this will threaten banks such as HDFC
Private Banks, new age banks and non-banking financial companies are increasing in
India.
There is an increase of 0.18% to 0.20% in the non-performing assets (NPA) of HDFC.
Even though it is a minor change in terms of financial health of the bank it isn’t a good
sign.
29
Future Growth & Prospects
HDFC Bank has increasing net profit of 20% year on year backed by robust growth in loan book.
They are one of the most profitable private institution banks and one of the largest. There is an
increase in the net interest income of 22% and a stable net interest margin of 4.3%. Further there
was an increase in the non-interest income of 27% YoY
Additionally, there is a massive growth in the bank’s operating leverage. Significantly there is a
decline in its core cost-to-income of 39.5% as against 41.2%. There is a controlled growth in the
digital initiatives and branch network. HDFC Bank made some contingent provisions on its
agriculture lending books which leads to the increase in the provisions by 64% YoY.
In comparison to the year 2017 there is an increase of 24% in the total advances in the year
December 2018 as HDFC Bank reported total advances of Rs780, 951 Cr. There is a robust growth
of 24% each in the domestic retail and corporate in total advances. The Bank continues to grow its
loan book at much ahead of system and their performance is commendable.
There is a growth of 13% YoY in Banks current and savings account compared to the growth in
time deposits was much stronger as there is an increase of 29% YoY. Due to this the CASA ratio
declined slightly to 41% as compared to 42% in last quarter. At the end of December 2018, the
impeccable asset quality with gross and net non-performing assets are at 1.4% and 4% respectively.
The bank is maintaining this continuously.
For many years HDFC Bank has been the most consistent performer on the street. They are the
most profitable bank and they are continuously growing day by day and they are delivering
earnings growth in the high-teens. Ahead of the industry the growth of the loan is continuously
strong, its margin is steady and asset quality remains as pristine as ever. Not only withstanding its
huge size, HDFC Bank is also gaining market share at a growing pace aiding sustainable high

CHAPTER 4-
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRITATION
Financial KPIs (key performance indicators) are metrics organizations use to track, measure, and
analyse the financial health of the company. These financial KPIs fall under a variety of
categories, including profitability, liquidity, solvency, efficiency, and valuation.
By understanding these metrics, you can be better positioned to know how the business is
performing from a financial perspective. You can then use this knowledge to adjust the goals of
your department or team and contribute to critical strategic objectives.
For managers, these metrics and KPIs should be made available internally and distributed on a
weekly or monthly basis in the form of email updates, dashboards, or reports. If they’re not
readily distributed, you can still become familiar with the metrics via financial statement
analysis.
Financial statement analysis is the process of reviewing key financial documents to gain a better
understanding of how the company is performing. While there are many different types of
financial statements that can be analyzed as part of this process, some of the most important,
especially to managers, include the:
1. Balance Sheet: A statement that lists a business’s assets, liabilities, and owners’ equity
at a specific point in time.
2. Income Statement: A statement that summarizes a business’s revenues, expenses, and
profits over a period.
3. Cash Flow Statement: A statement that captures how cash flow is affected by
activities from the balance sheet and income statement, categorized into operating,
investing, and financing activities.
4. Annual Report: A document that describes the company’s operations and financial
conditions, and typically includes the documents listed above, in addition to other
insights and narrative from key figures within the company.
38
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO MONITOR
The metrics below are typically found in the financial statements listed above and among
the most important for managers and other key stakeholders within an organization to
understand.
Gross profit margin is a profitability ratio that measures what percentage of revenue is
left after subtracting the cost of goods sold. The cost of goods sold refers to the direct
cost of production and does not include operating expenses, interest, or taxes. In other
words, gross profit margin is a measure of profitability, specifically for a product or item
line, without accounting for overheads.

HDFC
39
2. Net Profit Margin
Net profit margin is a profitability ratio that measures what percentage of revenue and
other income is left after subtracting all costs for the business, including costs of goods
sold, operating expenses, interest, and taxes. Net profit margin differs from gross profit
margin as a measure of profitability for the business in general, taking into account not
only the cost of goods sold, but all other related expenses.

3. Working Capital
Working capital is a measure of the business’s available operating liquidity, which can be
used to fund day-to-day operations.
LICHFL
HDFC
41
4. Current Ratio
Current ratio is a liquidity ratio that helps you understand whether the business can pay
its short-term obligations—that is, obligations due within one year— with its current
assets and liabilities.
LICHFL
HDFC
42
5. Quick Ratio
The quick ratio, also known as an acid test ratio, is another type of liquidity ratio that
measures a business’s ability to handle short-term obligations. The quick ratio uses only
highly liquid current assets, such as cash, marketable securities, and accounts receivables,
in its numerator. The assumption is that certain current assets, like inventory, are not
necessarily easy to turn into cash.
LICHFL
HDFC
43
6. Leverage
Financial leverage, also known as the equity multiplier, refers to the use of debt to buy
assets. If all the assets are financed by equity, the multiplier is one. As debt increases, the
multiplier increases from one, demonstrating the leverage impact of the debt and,
ultimately, increasing the risk of the business.
LICHFL
HDFC
44
7. Debt-to-Equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity ratio is a solvency ratio that measures how much a company finances
itself using equity versus debt. This ratio provides insight into the solvency of the
business by reflecting the ability of shareholder equity to cover all debt in the event of a
business downturn.
LICHFL
HDFC
45
8. Total Asset Turnover
Total asset turnover is an efficiency ratio that measures how efficiently a company uses
its assets to generate revenue. The higher the turnover ratio, the better the performance of
the company.
Total Asset Turnover = Revenue / (Beginning Total Assets + Ending Total Assets / 2)

Scenario of Indian Housing
Shortage of housing has persisted since independence. Though the government of India has
made certain efforts to curb this problem in different 5-year plans but unless private and public
sector make concerted and entrepreneurial efforts jointly, this problem cannot be solved. Ifwe
look at the scenario of Indian housing in different years then it can be said that joint
efforts have given this problem a soluble shape.
58
Broadly we can categorize the providers of housing finance in three categories: (1) Housing
Finance
Companies (HFCs), (2) Banks and (3) Housing Co-operative societies. As on 31 st March 2003
number of housing finance companies on the mailing list of National Housing Bank (NHB)
was 349out of
that only 63 companies furnished the required data and only 30 of these were approved for
financial
assistance from NHB. Disbursements of Housing Loans by the major players like HFCs, Banks
and
Housing Cooperative societies in different years are depicted in the following Table: 2. The
trends of the
data depict that over the year’s banks has sizably increased their market share from 26.76% in
2012 to
67.83% in 2015. The total disbursements of housing loans have also shown unprecedented
growth over the
years. In the post liberalization era housing finance industry has registered unprecedented
growth.

FINDINGS,CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION’S
FINDING’S
Level of Customer Satisfaction with respect to various aspects
The survey findings with respect to the level of customer satisfaction with various
aspectscan be shown in the following table
The above table indicates that the average level of satisfaction to customers is more than
neutral state with respect to all the aspects except the service quality, cooperation of staff,
documentation, guarantee, security, rate of interest, EMI where the mean score was found less
than 3. Therefore, these aspects need more attention and shows good scope of improvement.
Further, based on weighted sum, ranking is done against various aspects of customer
satisfaction in order to know which aspect contributes the most towards maximizing the
satisfaction and which one gives a negative effect.

: Suggestions to Improve Service Quality of Both HDFC and LIC Housing Finance Ltd
aSource: Primary Data

HDFC
Strong retail loan growth, stable margins and steady asset quality were the key highlights of
HDFC’s June quarter performance. Maintaining its market leadership in the housing finance
market, HDFC delivered a growth of 17 per cent in net profit in its core business. This was
driven by strong growth in individual loans. The incremental growth in loans during the quarter
came entirely from this segment. Individual loans grew 24per cent (net of loans soldin the
preceding 12 months). Including these loans, growth has been 31 per cent during the quarter.
Non-individual loan growth was slower at 11 per cent. Loans to individuals now contribute
close to 67 per cent of total loans as against 64 per cent in the previous year. The company’s
average loan size during the quarter was Rs 21.9 lakh as against Rs 21.6 lakh in theJune quarter
last year. The spreads have remained stable at 2.3 per cent, with individual loans registering a
marginal uptick during the quarter. The company’s net interest margin slipped a marginal 10
basis points to 3.9 per cent.
BOND FOCUS
HDFC’s funding mix remains skewed towards bonds, which now constitute 59 per cent of the
overall borrowing. The share of bank loans is just 8 per cent, which has worked well for the
company, given the high base rates of banks. However, the company has the flexibility to shift
between various sources of funding, depending on the movement of interest rates. This should
help maintain stable spreads. HDFC also maintained stable asset quality, with gross non-
performing assets at 0.77 per cent of loans. The capital-adequacy ratio stood at a healthy 16.3
per cent against the mandated 12 per cent.
LIC HFL
LIC Housing Finance posted lower-than-expected results for the September quarter due to
dwindling loan growth and lower margins. Not surprisingly, the stock ended flat at Rs 242.95
at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Wednesday. The net profit growth of 147 per cent
year-on-year in the recently concluded quarter appears healthy, given the previous
corresponding period’s growth, which was impacted by a steep rise in provisions for bad loans
to comply with the change in provisioning requirements of the National Housing Board (NHB).
Loan growth, however, was in-line with Street expectations (23 per cent YoY growth), but this
was LIC Housing Finance’s lowest loan growth since the June 2020 quarter (when loans grew
by 36.8 per cent). Notably, this metric has fallen every quarter since June 2020 – with the
September quarter following the same trend. This is in sharp contrast to its larger peer, HDFC
which was able to maintain its loan growth between 19-22 per cent in the same period. The
moderation can be attributed largely to falling corporate disbursements in this period. Corporate
disbursements fell 62 per cent sequentially to Rs 121 crore and 71 per cent when compared to
the September 2021 quarter. In the September 2020 quarter, the individual loan growth also
came off to 21 per cent from 29 per cent in the June 2020 quarter. Consequently, the net interest
income came in lower than analysts’ expectations. For this year though, analysts expect loan
growth to remain at 23 per cent.

Margins
As against an expectation of improvement, the net interest margins (NIMs) contract ed by eight
basis points (bps) sequentially to 2.1 per cent. However, easing cost of funds provided some
cushion to margins in the quarter. LIC Housing Finance Director and Chief Executive V K
Sharma, said “It is encouraging to note that there is a 10 per cent increase in the number of
customers, which is a very good sign. The other good indication is that the incremental cost of
funds is showing some trends of easing.” Notably, the company had indicated that loans worth
Rs 2,500 crore (under the Fix-O-Floaty product) will be re-priced in the upward direction in the
September quarter, pushing margins up. But, there is no clarity on the same in the results Lower
corporate disbursement is another factor that has hit the net interest margins. We will closely
watch the margin and corporate disbursement trends in the next two quarters.” Asset quality
remained strong for the quarter gone by as gross non-performing assets (NPA) improved to
0.60 per cent versus 0.64 per cent year before. Though the net NPAs inched up to 0.28 per cent
versus 0.12 per cent earlier, the sequential fall of 84 per cent in provisioning to Rs 694 crore is
an indication of improving asset quality.

CONCLUSION
Housing Finance is a specialized form of finance and efficiency of Housing Finance systemin a
country is one of the basic indicators of the growth of its economy. Hence understanding the efficiency
and effectiveness of Housing Finance system is very much essential and relevant.In a country like India,
which is still at developing stage even after the 57 years of Independence, only sound Housing Finance
system can fulfill the needs of poor and middle-class people regarding their housing problems. There is a
need of joint efforts on the part of government, housing finance companies and regulatory agencies to
chalk out comprehensive action plan to meet the challenges of housing finance so that housing need of
every common man can be fulfilled. The Indian housing finance market cannot be looked at
independently of the government’s role in the overall financial sector, which is nowadays characterized
bya process of liberalization. However, the Indian government has tried, and is still trying, albeit toa lesser
extent, to stimulate economic development by control-ling interest rates and directing credit to priority
sectors. Furthermore, private sector housing finance has been developed since1977 and the creation of the
National Housing Bank has helped the sector to develop further. In addition to specific guidelines and
directions of HFCs, lending regulations, refinancefacilities and the Home Loan Account scheme were set
up with the intention of serving the small man. However, the intentions conflict with reality. The poor
still face problems of accessibility, affordability, and suitability of formal housing finance through HFCs.
HFCs tend mainly to serve households with incomes above medium level, because the lending criteria
(long-term credit, large loan size and tight methods of repayment) most closely fit the life-style of this
income group. This clientele is known to the HFCs and can be served relatively easily, after careful
checking of their repayment capacity, without fearing high defaultrates. The same lending criteria, apart
from a lower interest rate, are used for the poor. The poorare then treated as extremely risky, instead of the
lending criteria being questioned. Development, Growth and Policy implications of Housing Finance in
