Introduction on Bank
Origin of the word
7Institute of Productivity and Management
The name bank derives from the Italian word banco "desk/bench", used during the Renaissance
by Jewish Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions above a desk covered by a
green tablecloth. However, there are traces of banking activity even in times ancient , which
indicates that the word 'bank' might not necessarily come from the word 'banco'.
Banks date back to ancient times. During the 3rd century AD, banks in Persia and other
territories in the Persian Sassanid Empire issued letters of credit known as Ṣakks. Muslim
traders are known to have used the cheque or Sakks system since the time of Harun al-Rashid
(9th century) of the Abbasid Caliphate. In the 9th century, a Muslim businessman could cash an
early form of the cheque in China drawn on sources in Baghdad a tradition that was
significantly strengthened in the 13th and 14th centuries, during the Mongol Empire. Indeed,
fragments found in the Cairo Geniza indicate that in the 12th century cheques remarkably
similar to our own were in use, only smaller to save costs on the paper. They contain a sum to
be paid and then the order "May so and so pay the bearer such and such an amount". The date
and name of the issuer are also apparent. The earliest known state deposit bank, Banco di San
Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was founded in 1407 at Genoa, Italy. Banking in the modern
sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the
north like Florence, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families were dominated banking
in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe. Perhaps the most
famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, set up by Giovanni Medici in 1397.
Meaning of bank
A bank is a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into
lending activities. Banks are a fundamental component of the financial system, and are also
active players in financial markets. The essential role of a bank is to connect those who have
capital (such as investors or depositors), with those who seek capital (such as individuals
wanting a loan, or businesses wanting to grow).
8Institute of Productivity and Management
Banking is generally a highly regulated industry, and government restrictions on financial
activities by banks have varied over time and location. The current set of global standards is
called Basel II. In some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes
in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited
from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share
holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, banc assurance is prevalent, as most banks offer
insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients. The most recent trend has been
the advance of universal banks, which attempt to offer their customers the full spectrum of
financial services under the one roof.
The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy,
which has been operating continuously since 1472.
Definition
The definition of a bank varies from country to country.
Under English common law, a banker is defined as a person who carries on the business of
banking, which is specified as:
• conducting current accounts for his customers
• paying cheques drawn on him, and
• Collecting cheques for his customers.
In most English common law jurisdictions there is a Bills of Exchange Act that codifies the law
in relation to negotiable instruments, including cheques, and this Act contains a statutory
definition of the term banker: banker includes a body of persons, whether incorporated or not,
who carry on the business of banking' (Section 2, Interpretation). Although this definition seems
circular, it is actually functional, because it ensures that the legal basis for bank transactions
such as cheques does not depend on how the bank is organized or regulated.
The business of banking is in many English common law countries not defined by statute but by
common law, the definition above. In other English common law jurisdictions there are
9Institute of Productivity and Management
statutory definitions of the business of banking or banking business. When looking at these
definitions it is important to keep in minds that they are defining the business of banking for the
purposes of the legislation, and not necessarily in general. In particular, most of the definitions
are from legislation that has the purposes of entry regulating and supervising banks rather than
regulating the actual business of banking. However, in many cases the statutory definition
closely mirrors the common law one. Examples of statutory definitions:
• "banking business" means the business of receiving money on current or deposit
account, paying and collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers, the making of
advances to customers, and includes such other business as the Authority may prescribe
for the purposes of this Act; (Banking Act (Singapore), Section 2, Interpretation).
• "banking business" means the business of either or both of the following:
1. receiving from the general public money on current, deposit, savings or other similar
account repayable on demand or within less than [3 months] ... or with a period of call or
notice of less than that period;
2. Paying or collecting cheques drawn by or paid in by customers.
Since the advent of EFTPOS (Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale), direct credit, direct
debit and internet banking, the cheque has lost its primacy in most banking systems as a
payment instrument. This has led legal theorists to suggest that the cheque based definition
should be broadened to include financial institutions that conduct current accounts for customers
and enable customers to pay and be paid by third parties, even if they do not pay and collect
cheques.
Standard activities
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for customers, paying
cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques deposited to customers'
current accounts. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment methods such as
telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, and ATM.
10Institute of Productivity and Management
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current accounts, by accepting term
deposits, and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and bonds. Banks lend money by
making advances to customers on current accounts, by making installment loans, and by
investing in marketable debt securities and other forms of money lending.
Banks borrow most funds from households and non-financial businesses, and lend most funds to
households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lenders provide a significant and in
many cases adequate substitute for bank loans, and money market funds, cash management
trusts and other non-bank financial institutions in many cases provide an adequate substitute to
banks for lending savings to.
Wider commercial role
The commercial role of banks is not limited to banking, and includes:
• issue of banknotes (promissory notes issued by a banker and payable to bearer on
demand)
• processing of payments by way of telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, internet banking or
other means
• issuing bank drafts and bank cheques
• accepting money on term deposit
• lending money by way of overdraft, installment loan or otherwise
• providing documentary and standby letters of credit (trade finance), guarantees,
performance bonds, securities underwriting commitments and other forms of off-balance
sheet exposures
• safekeeping of documents and other items in safe deposit boxes
• currency exchange
• acting as a 'financial supermarket' for the sale, distribution or brokerage, with or without
advice, of insurance, unit trusts and similar financial product
11Institute of Productivity and Management
Channels
Banks offer many different channels to access their banking and other services:
• A branch, banking centre or financial centre is a retail location where a bank or financial
institution offers a wide array of face-to-face service to its customers.
• ATM is a computerized telecommunications device that provides a financial institution's
customers a method of financial transactions in a public space without the need for a
human clerk or bank teller. Most banks now have more ATMs than branches, and ATMs
are providing a wider range of services to a wider range of users. For example in Hong
Kong, most ATMs enable anyone to deposit cash to any customer of the bank's account
by feeding in the notes and entering the account number to be credited. Also, most
ATMs enable card holders from other banks to get their account balance and withdraw
cash, even if the card is issued by a foreign bank.
• Mail is part of the postal system which itself is a system wherein written documents
typically enclosed in envelopes, and also small packages containing other matter, are
delivered to destinations around the world. This can be used to deposit cheques and to
send orders to the bank to pay money to third parties. Banks also normally use mail to
deliver periodic account statements to customers.
• Telephone banking is a service provided by a financial institution which allows its
customers to perform transactions over the telephone. This normally includes bill
payments for bills from major billers (e.g. for electricity).
• Online banking is a term used for performing transactions, payments etc. over the
Internet through a bank, credit union or building society's secure website.
• Mobile banking is a method of using one's mobile phone to conduct simple banking
transactions by remotely linking into a banking network.

Banks in the economy
Economic functions
The economic functions of banks include:
1. Issue of money, in the form of banknotes and current accounts subject to cheque or
payment at the customer's order. These claims on banks can act as money because they
are negotiable and/or repayable on demand, and hence valued at par. They are
effectively transferable by mere delivery, in the case of banknotes, or by drawing a
cheque that the payee may bank or cash.
13Institute of Productivity and Management
2. Netting and settlement of payments – banks act as both collection and paying agents for
customers, participating in interbank clearing and settlement systems to collect, present,
be presented with, and pay payment instruments. This enables banks to economies on
reserves held for settlement of payments, since inward and outward payments offset each
other. It also enables the offsetting of payment flows between geographical areas,
reducing the cost of settlement between them.
3. Credit intermediation – banks borrow and lend back-to-back on their own account as
middle men.
4. Credit quality improvement – banks lend money to ordinary commercial and personal
borrowers (ordinary credit quality), but are high quality borrowers. The improvement
comes from diversification of the bank's assets and capital which provides a buffer to
absorb losses without defaulting on its obligations. However, banknotes and deposits are
generally unsecured; if the bank gets into difficulty and pledges assets as security, to rise
the funding it needs to continue to operate, this puts the note holders and depositors in an
economically subordinated position.
5. Maturity transformation – banks borrow more on demand debt and short term debt, but
provide more long term loans. In other words, they borrow short and lend long. With a
stronger credit quality than most other borrowers, banks can do this by aggregating
issues (e.g. accepting deposits and issuing banknotes) and redemptions (e.g. withdrawals
and redemptions of banknotes), maintaining reserves of cash, investing in marketable
securities that can be readily converted to cash if needed, and raising replacement
funding as needed from various sources (e.g. wholesale cash markets and securities
markets)
Types of retail banks
• Commercial bank : the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an investment
bank. After the Great Depression, the U.S. Congress required that banks only engage in
banking activities, whereas investment banks were limited to capital market activities.
Since the two no longer have to be under separate ownership, some use the term
14Institute of Productivity and Management
"commercial bank" to refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals with
deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses.
• Community banks : locally operated financial institutions that empower employees to
make local decisions to serve their customers and the partners.
• Community development banks : regulated banks that provide financial services and
credit to under-served markets or populations.
• Postal savings banks : savings banks associated with national postal systems.
• Private Banks : banks that manage the assets of high net worth individuals.
• Offshore banks : banks located in jurisdictions with low taxation and regulation. Many
offshore banks are essentially private banks.
• Savings bank : in Europe, savings banks take their roots in the 19th or sometimes even
18th century. Their original objective was to provide easily accessible savings products
to all strata of the population. In some countries, savings banks were created on public
initiative; in others, socially committed individuals created foundations to put in place
the necessary infrastructure. Nowadays, European savings banks have kept their focus
on retail banking: payments, savings products, credits and insurances for individuals or
small and medium-sized enterprises. Apart from this retail focus, they also differ from
commercial banks by their broadly decentralized distribution network, providing local
and regional outreach—and by their socially responsible approach to business and
society.
• Building societies and Landesbanks: institutions that conduct retail banking.
• Ethical banks : banks that prioritize the transparency of all operations and make only
what they consider to be socially-responsible investments.
Types of investment banks
15Institute of Productivity and Management
• Investment banks "underwrite" (guarantee the sale of) stock and bond issues, trade for
their own accounts, make markets, and advise corporations on capital market activities
such as mergers and acquisitions.
• Merchant banks were traditionally banks which engaged in trade finance. The modern
definition, however, refers to banks which provide capital to firms in the form of shares
rather than loans. Unlike venture capital firms, they tend not to invest in new companies.
Both combined
• Universal banks , more commonly known as financial services companies, engage in
several of these activities. These big banks are much diversified groups that, among
other services, also distribute insurance— hence the term banc assurance, a portmanteau
word combining "banque or bank" and "assurance", signifying that both banking and
insurance are provided by the same corporate entity.
Other types of banks
• Central banks are normally government-owned and charged with quasi-regulatory
responsibilities, such as supervising commercial banks, or controlling the cash interest
rate. They generally provide liquidity to the banking system and act as the lender of last
resort in event of a crisis.
• Islamic banks adhere to the concepts of Islamic law. This form of banking revolves
around several well-established principles based on Islamic canons. All banking
activities must avoid interest, a concept that is forbidden in Islam. Instead, the bank
earns profit (markup) and fees on the financing facilities that it extends to customers.
Retail Banking Products
1. Savings account
Savings accounts are accounts maintained by retail financial institutions that pay interest but
can not be used directly as money ( for example, by writing a cheque). These accounts let
customers set aside a portion of their liquid assets while earning a monetary return.
16Institute of Productivity and Management
2. Current account
Current account or cheque account is a deposit account held at a bank or other financial
institution, for the purpose of securely and quickly providing frequent access to funds on
demand, through a variety of different channels. Because money is available on demand these
accounts are also referred to as demand accounts or demand deposit accounts. Transactional
accounts are meant neither for the purpose of earning interest nor for the purpose of savings, but
for convenience of the business or personal client; hence do they tend not to bear interest.
Instead, a customer can deposit or withdraw any amount of money any number of times, subject
to availability of funds.
3. Credit card
A credit card is part of a system of payments named after the small plastic card issued to users
of the system. It is a card entitling its holder to buy goods and services based on the holder's
promise to pay for these goods and services. The issuer of the card grants a line of credit to the
consumer (or the user) from which the user can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as
a cash advance to the user. Usage of the term "credit card" to imply a credit card account is a
metonym. A credit card is different from a charge card, where a charge card requires the balance
to be paid in full each month. In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers to 'revolve' their
balance, at the cost of having interest charged. Most credit cards are issued by local banks or
credit unions, and are the shape and size specified by the ISO/IEC 7810 standard as ID-1. This
is defined as 85.60 × 53.98 mm (33/8 × 21/8 in) in size
Fees charged to customers
The major fees are for:
• Late payments or overdue payments
• Charges that result in exceeding the credit limit on the card (whether done deliberately or
by mistake), called over limit fees
17Institute of Productivity and Management
• Returned cheque fees or payment processing fees (e.g. phone payment fee)
• Cash advances and convenience cheques (often 3% of the amount)
• Transactions in a foreign currency (as much as 3% of the amount). A few financial
institutions do not charge a fee for this.
• Membership fees (annual or monthly), sometimes a percentage of the credit limit.
• Exchange rate loading fees (these may sometimes not be reported on the customer's
statement, even when they are applied).
4. Mortgage
A mortgage is a security interest in real property held by a lender as a security for a debt,
usually a loan of money. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lender's security for a
debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land (or the equivalent) from the owner to the mortgage
lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the
mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the
loan that the lender makes to the borrower. The word comes from the Old French word for
"dead pledge," apparently meaning that the pledge ends (dies) either when the obligation is
fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure. In most jurisdictions mortgages are
strongly associated with loans secured on real estate rather than on other property (such as
ships) and in some jurisdictions only land may be mortgaged. A mortgage is the standard
method by which individuals and businesses can purchase real estate without the need to pay the
full value immediately from their own resources. See mortgage loan for residential mortgage
lending, and commercial mortgage for lending against commercial property.
• Participants and variant terminology
Legal systems in different countries, while having some concepts in common, employ different
terminology. However, in general, a mortgage of property involves the following parties.
Mortgage lender-
18Institute of Productivity and Management
A mortgage lender is an investor that lends money secured by a mortgage on real estate. In
today's world, most lenders sell the loans they write on the secondary mortgage market. When
they sell the mortgage, they earn revenue called Service Release Premium. Typically, the
purpose of the loan is for the borrower to purchase that same real estate. The borrower, known
as the mortgagor, gives the mortgage to the lender, known as the mortgagee. As the mortgagee,
the lender has the right to sell the property to pay off the loan if the borrower fails to pay.
5. Unsecured Loan
An unsecured loan is a loan that is not backed by collateral. Also known as a signature loan or
personal loan. Unsecured loans are based solely upon the borrower's credit rating. As a result,
they are often much more difficult to get than a secured loan, which also factors in the
borrower's income. An unsecured loan is considered much cheaper and carries less risk to the
borrower. However, when an unsecured loan is granted, it does not necessarily have to be
based on a credit score. For example, if your friend lends you money without any collateral,
meaning something of worth that can be repossessed if the loan isn't repaid, then your credit
score has zero to do with it, but rather the value of your friendship is at stake. Therefore the real
meaning of an unsecured loan is that it is not backed by any object of value and is lent to you
based on your good name. For financial institutional purposes, they may want to look at your
credit score because they are not your friend and it is strictly a business transaction, therefore
your good name may be associated with your historical payment history on prior debt, reflecting
in your credit score.
• Types of unsecured loans
There are three types of unsecured loans.
• First there is a personal unsecured loan, meaning a loan that you individually are
responsible for the repayment of.
• Second is an unsecured business loan which leaves the business responsible for the
repayment.
19Institute of Productivity and Management
• Finally there is an unsecured business loan with a personal guarantee. With the latter,
although the borrower is the business, you as an individual will be the payer of last resort
if the business defaults on the loan
6. Mutual Fund
A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a
common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market
instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through
these investments and the capital appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in
proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable
investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified,
professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low-cost. The flow chart below
describes broadly the working of a mutual fund:
Mutual fund is a trust that pools money from a group of investors (sharing common financial
goals) and invests the money thus collected into asset classes that match the stated
investment objectives of the scheme. Since the stated investment objectives of a mutual fund
scheme generally form the basis for an investor's decision to contribute money to the pool, a
mutual fund can not deviate from its stated objectives at any point of time.

I. Project financing
20Institute of Productivity and Management
Project finance is the long term financing of infrastructure and industrial projects based upon the
projected cash flows of the project rather than the balance sheets of the project sponsors.
Usually, a project financing structure involves a number of equity investors, known as sponsors,
as well as a syndicate of banks that provide loans to the operation. The loans are most
commonly non-recourse loans, which are secured by the project assets and paid entirely from
project cash flow, rather than from the general assets or creditworthiness of the project sponsors,
a decision in part supported by financial modeling. The financing is typically secured by all of
the project assets, including the revenue-producing contracts. Project lenders are given a lien on
all of these assets, and are able to assume control of a project if the project company has
difficulties complying with the loan terms. Generally, a special purpose entity is created for
each project, thereby shielding other assets owned by a project sponsor from the detrimental
effects of a project failure. As a special purpose entity, the project company has no assets other
than the project. Capital contribution commitments by the owners of the project company are
sometimes necessary to ensure that the project is financially sound.
II. Risk management
In ideal risk management, a prioritization process is followed whereby the risks with the greatest
loss and the greatest probability of occurring are handled first, and risks with lower probability
of occurrence and lower loss are handled in descending order. In practice the process can be
very difficult, and balancing between risks with a high probability of occurrence but lower loss
versus a risk with high loss but lower probability of occurrence can often be mishandled.
Intangible risk management identifies a new type of a risk that has a 100% probability of
occurring but is ignored by the organization due to a lack of identification ability. For example,
when deficient knowledge is applied to a situation, a knowledge risk materializes. Relationship
risk appears when ineffective collaboration occurs. Process-engagement risk may be an issue
when ineffective operational procedures are applied. These risks directly reduce the productivity
of knowledge workers, decrease cost effectiveness, profitability, service, quality, reputation,
brand value, and earnings quality. Intangible risk management allows risk management to create
immediate value from the identification and reduction of risks that reduce productivity.
21Institute of Productivity and Management
Risk management also faces difficulties in allocating resources. This is the idea of opportunity
cost. Resources spent on risk management could have been spent on more profitable activities.
Again, ideal risk management minimizes spending and minimizes the negative effects of risks.

Industry Background
Banking system in India
Currently, India has 96 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 49,000 ATMs. According to a report by
ICRA Limited, a rating agency, 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.
24Institute of Productivity and Management
Early history
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, which originated in the
Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was
one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of
Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company.
For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The
three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's
independence, became the State Bank of India.
25Institute of Productivity and Management
Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a
consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and
still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. It was not the first though. That
honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which survived
until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to the Alliance
Bank of Shimla.
When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate
States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to
speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors
lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently, banking in India
remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the
20th century.
Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The Comptoire
d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862;
branches in Madras and Pondicherry, then a French colony, followed. HSBC established itself
in Bengal in 1869. Calcutta was the most active trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of
the British Empire, and so became a banking center.
The first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in 1881
in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in Lahore in
1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the largest banks in India.
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period
of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial
and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which
served particular ethnic and religious communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India but there were also some exchange banks and
a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated in different segments of the
economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign
trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally under capitalized and lacked the experience and

maturity to compete with the presidency and exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord
Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some
old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome
compartments."
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by the Swadeshi
movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen and political figures to found
banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have survived to
the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara
Bank and Central Bank of India.
The fervour of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing of many private banks in Dakshina
Kannada and Udupi district which were unified earlier and known by the name South Canara
( South Kanara ) district. Four nationalised banks started in this district and also a leading
private sector bank. Hence undivided Dakshina Kannada district is known as "Cradle of Indian
Banking".

Against the milieu of rapid urbanization and a changing socio-economic scenario, the demand
for housing has grown explosively. The importance of the housing sector in the economy can be

total demand for housing is estimated at 2 million units per year and the total housing shortfall is
estimated to be 19.4 million units, of which 12.76 million units is from rural areas and 6.64
million units from urban areas. The housing industry is the second largest employment
generator in the country. It is estimated that the budgeted 2 million units would lead to the
35Institute of Productivity and Management
creation of an additional 10 million man-years of direct employment and another 15 million
man-years of indirect employment.
Having identified housing as a priority area in the Ninth Five Year Plan (1997-2002), the
National Housing Policy has envisaged an investment target of Rs. 1,500 billion for this sector.
In order to achieve this investment target, the Government needs to make low cost funds easily
available and enforce legal and regulatory reforms.

SECTION B
PROJECT PROFILE
The project “ANALYSIS OF HDFC LAONS IN BAREILLY” gave an opportunity to get
practical experience and corporate exposure through which a lot was learned about loans. This
project is based on research in which there was a need to find out that whether people
are taking loans from HDFC or not and reasons behind both taking and not taking loans
,which age group of people are more taking, which type of loan people prefer to take,
which mode of payment they prefer one-time or EMI’s. This project helped a lot in making
people aware of loans and which type of loans people prefer more so that they could be
70Institute of Productivity and Management
benefited by it. This analysis was done on 150 individuals in Bareilly. The primary data will be
collected through questionnaire. The questionnaires consist of two parts:
First parts consist of customer demographics, which include age group, gender marital status and
Profession. This part will help in knowing which age group has more capacity according to
which market could be trapped, it will also help in knowing whether males or females are more
interested in taking loans. The second part of the questionnaire will help in knowing whether
people are aware of various loans schemes, from which institution they prefer to take loan,
people are more comfortable with EMI’s, one time payments etc. In the second part we also get
to know one important thing about customers whether they prefer loans or not and if they prefer
which type of loans they are taking etc. This project will give an idea about the current scenario
as to what customers prefer today. It will help in clearing the doubts of customers after knowing
as to why they don’t prefer loans. This way more information can be made available to them
which will increase the awareness about loans and therefore more people can enjoy the benefits
of loan.
WHY THIS PROJECT WAS UNDERTAKEN:
This report will provide different types of value addition to the organization as given below:-
Customer views on loans, which were being offered by bank according to their needs.
The facilities that the customer of loan is getting.
HDFC Bank will come to know the areas, where it needs to improve.
71Institute of Productivity and Management
The bank will also come to know what additional facilities are being provided by its competitors
on loans.
The main aim of this project is find out the market standard of HDFC’s loan when compare to its
competitors such as ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, SBI etc.
Through this project I can find out that on what grounds the loan provided by HDFC is different
from its competitors.
Project helps in creating good relationship and helps in solving the problems of the
customers.
This project helps in creating new customers and maintaining the existing customers by
providing maximum services.
PROBLEM ENVIRONMENT:
The main problem was lack of awareness about various loans schemes that the bank is offering, majority
of the people are unaware about these schemes. If the behavioral aspects of the people are taken into
account then while conducting the survey most of the people were not ready to answer the entire

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research in common parlance refers to search for knowledge. Once can also define research as
a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact ,research
is an art an science of investigation .Redman and Moray define research as a
“systematized effort to gain knowledge” some people define research as a voyage of
discovery ,we all possess the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for when the unknown
confronts us , we wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us probe and attain full and
fuller understanding of the unknown The inquisitiveness is the mother of all the
knowledge and the method , which the man employs for obtaining the knowledge of
whatever the unknown ,can be termed as research. Research comprises defining and
redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organization and
evaluating data; making deductions and reaching conclusions, and at last carefully testing the
conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. Research methodology
considers the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our study and explain why we
are using a particular method or technique and why we are not using others so that research
results are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others. Research
methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a
science of studying how research is done.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Geographical scope
Customers of Bareilly.
Duration of Study:
The study was carried out for a period of two months, from 01st May to 2nd July 2010.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research Design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted. It is basically
the blueprint for the collection of data, measurement of analysis of data. A Research Design is
the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to
combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. A good research design
has following characteristics:
Problem Definition
Specific method of data collection and analysis
Time required for research project
My research design is of diagnostic type. Diagnostic research studies determine the
frequency with which something occurs.
77Institute of Productivity and Management
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT USED:
In this project questionnaire method is used to collect data due to following reasons:-
Written questionnaires are more cost effective as the number of research questions increases.
Questionnaires are easy to analyze. Data entry and tabulation for nearly all surveys can be
easily done with many computer software packages.
Questionnaires are familiar to most people. Nearly everyone has had some experience
completing questionnaires and they generally do not make people apprehensive.
Questionnaires reduce biasness. There is uniform question presentation and no middleman
biasness. The researchers own opinions will not influence the respondent to answer
questions in a certain manner.
There are no verbal or visual clues to influence the respondent.
Questionnaires are less intrusive.
DATA COLLECTION
The task of data collection begins after a research problem has been defined and research
design/ plan chalked out. While deciding about the method of data collection to be used for the
study, two types of data are used.
a. Primary Data
Primary data are those which are collected a fresh and for the first time and thus happen to be original in character.
ADVANTAGES:-
get comprehensive and original information
convenient to respondents
information are primary mode
DISADVANTAGES:-
78Institute of Productivity and Management
often takes much time
info may be incomplete
need to be quite clear about what looking for
b. Secondary Data
Secondary data on the other hand are those which have already been collected by
someone else and which have already been passed on. The data is collected, formulated
and processed keeping in mind the twin object of understanding the existing social
welfare and social security scheme and to derive out the result from the employer /
employee session. Samples are chosen at random basis.
ADVANTAGES
Doesn’t interrupt program or client’s routine program
Information already exist
Less costly
DISADVANTAGES
Information may be incomplete.
Not flexible means to get data, data restricted to what already exists.
Used only primary data for which a comprehensive questionnaire was prepared and was
filled by the individuals.
PRIMARY SOURCES
PERSONAL INTERVIEWING
This method is used when we want to understand someone’s buying behavior pattern, or learn
about his or her answer to questionnaires.
SECONDARY SOURCES
Data collected through internet.
The facts sheets of different banks.
Used many website such as (HDFC BANK, ICICI BANK, SBI BANK).
79Institute of Productivity and Management
Many magazines such as outlooks, business magazines, etc
Data collected from newspaper such as business standards, economic times.
SCHEDULE METHOD
This method of data is quite popular. A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed
in definite order on a form. The respondents’ have an answer them on there own, constructed
questionnaire containing 22 questions each related to objective of the project.
Advantages:
These responses are gathered in a standardized way, it is in close-ended and open-ended form.
Disadvantages:
Questionnaires are standardized so it is not possible to explain any points in the questions
that participant might misinterpret.
Respondents may answer superficially especially if the questionnaire takes a long time to
Complete.
Respondents may not be willing to answer the questions. They might not wish to reveal
the information or they might think that they will not benefit from responding perhaps
even be penalized by giving their real opinion.
SAMPLING DESIGN:
A sampling design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to
the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting items for the sample.
Simple design is determined before data are collected. The sample size should also be
ascertained before starting the research program. The larger the sample sizes the better and
accurate will be the result.
Defining the Population
The first step in good sample design is to ensure that the specification of the target
population is as clear and complete as possible to ensure that all elements within the
80Institute of Productivity and Management
population are represented. The target population is sampled using a sampling frame.
Often the units in the population can be identified by existing information; for example,
pay-rolls, company lists, government registers etc. A sampling frame could also be
geographical; for example postcodes have become a well-used means of selecting a
sample.
Sample Size = 150
For any sample design deciding upon the appropriate sample size will depend on several
key factors
(1) No estimate taken from a sample is expected to be exact: Any assumptions about
the overall population based on the results of a sample will have an attached margin of
error.
(2) To lower the margin of error usually requires a larger sample size. The amount of
variability in the population (i.e. the range of values or opinions) will also affect accuracy
and therefore the size of sample.
(3) The confidence level is the likelihood that the results obtained from the sample lie
within a required precision. The higher the confidence level that is the more certain you
wish to be that the results are not atypical. Statisticians often use a 95 per cent confidence
level to provide strong conclusions.
(4) Population size does not normally affect sample size. In fact the larger the
populations size the lower the proportion of that population that needs to be sampled to be
representative. It is only when the proposed sample size is more than 5 per cent of the
population that the population size becomes part of the formulae to calculate the sample
size.

FIELD WORK
The field work is done in the area of HDFC BANK LTD., Civil Lines in the city
Bareilly. The questionnaires to the customers at the following places in Bareilly:
• PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

SAMPLING TECHNIQUES USED
For the particular research study, used the following two types of Sampling i.e. Sampling
Techniques.
1. CONVENIENCE AND JUDGEMENT SAMPLING
2. SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
1) CONVENIENCE and JUDGEMENT SAMPLING:
This method is quite helpful as one can consider the sample according to the convenience.
Under convenience sampling technique the sample units are chosen on the basis of researchers
convenience of location, travel, time, cost etc. The sampling technique used for the survey of
customer was convenience of sampling.
Advantages:
Easy to organize
Quick
82Institute of Productivity and Management
Disadvantages:
There is no guarantee that the behaviors of these people represent behaviors of other groups.
2) SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
In this type of sampling, where each and every item in the population has an equal chance of
inclusion in the sample. The each item an equal probability of being selected.
Advantages:
Simple to design and interpret.
Can calculate estimate of the population and the sampling error
Analysis of data is reasonably easy
Disadvantages:
Need a complete and accurate population listing
May not be practical if the sample requires lots of small visits all over the country.
Analytical Tools Used
Data presented in the form of: Pie charts, percentage calculation.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:-
Some of the persons were not so responsive.
Since the sample for the study consist the public and customers of bank in Bareilly,
generalization may not be accurate. Further the validity and generalization of the results may
hold good only for Bareilly.
83Institute of Productivity and Management
The chance of simple random error may prove to be limitation as respondent may not to give
accurate information and even student bias while collecting the data should be considered.
Questionnaire used as the only instrument of the primary data.

Conclusion
The project opportunities provided was market segmentation and identifying prospective
customers in potential geographical location and convincing them to take loan so that new
business opportunities of the bank can be explored. Through this project, it could be concluded
that people are not much aware about the various products of the bank.
As we know that HDFC bank is the oldest and number one bank in giving loan. As the survey
was done in Bareilly I have found that age above 31 are the most loan takers because they want
to fulfill there life goals in less time and they prefer floating rate of interest and they also prefer
EMI facility for paying back the loan. There are various other people who are ready for taking
loan but they need some awareness from the bank. The bank provides various types of loans
according to the needs of the customers. Bank should conduct some seminars, contest, etc for
making aware about the different types of loans, special interest rate schemes and some exciting
offers. This will help the bank in increasing customers and creating the good relationship with
existing customers.
So, at last the conclusion is that there is tough competition ahead for the company from its
major competitors in the banking sector.
Last but not the least I would like to thank HDFC Bank for giving me an opportunity to work in
the field of Finance. I hope the company finds my analysis relevant.
112Institute of Productivity and Management
Suggestions
Finally some recommendations for the bank are as fallows:-
To make people aware about the benefit of becoming HDFC Bank’s Customer following
activities of advertisement should be done through:
• Print Media.
• Hoarding & Banners.
• Stalls in Trade Fares
• Distribution of leaflets containing details information.
Minimum balance for savings account should be reduced from Rs 5000, so that people
who are not financially strong enough can maintain their account properly.
Make people understand about the various benefits of its products by conducting some
seminars.
Bank should organize the program in the society, so that people will be aware about the
bank and different products of the bank.
It should maintain the image of transparency and should also create trust among all the
present customers.
The younger people of age group <=30 will be a key new customer group into the
future, so making greater efforts with these people who show some interest in
various schemes in banks.
Launch innovative schemes in the market to attract the customers.
