one’s effort with success so therefore I take this opportunity to specially thank Mr. Kunal

Raheja (relationship manager HDFC bank) and Mr. Harsehaj Sarang (relationship

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project is directed towards developing an insight into initiatives taken by HDFC for its

High Net Worth (HNW)clients and the various products designed for them. It is all about the

initiatives taken by HDFC for increasing customer satisfaction and customer delight so that

customers can enjoy the world class banking experience. The objective of the project is

analyzing customer satisfaction and gathering feedback of HDFC customers. I worked

on understanding different aspects of retail banking and different programs of HDFC for its

HNW clients. During the internship I learned different aspects of net banking and different

banking channels which includes net banking itself. I met customers of HDFC bank and

discussed about different products and value added services of the bank .

HNW clients primarily divided into different programs as follows-

IMPERIA, PREFERRED and CLASSIC.

Over All Learning is-

1.How acquisition of new customers is done.

2. Understanding the steps taken by the bank for enhancing the relationship by cross-

selling products and services as per the profile and need of the customers.

3. Deepening the size of the relationship.

4. Retention of the customers by providing the best possible services and being the

dedicated point of contact of these customers.

So basically the internship was all about Relationship Management for the imperia, preferred

and classic HDFC customers.

This relationship management helps HDFC in following ways

HDFC bank becomes the primary bank for these Preferred Customers.

Maximum share of wallet of these customers is with HDFC bank.

INTRODUCTIONBanking is one the main drivers of the service industry. As the service industry has boomed,

the competition faced by the banks essentially private banks, has increased. So, in order to

maintain an edge above the others, the key elements that a bank needs to focus upon is to

increase customer satisfaction and customer delight by providing different value added

services and improving quality of services it offers. These enable a bank to get a competitive

advantage over the others.

In India banking sector is one of the most regulated sector in the economy. When Indian

Government allowed private banks to operate in the nation many banks came into existence

and gave a tough competition to various nationalized players. Private banks won over most

nationalized banks because of the quality of services they offered to their customers.

Private banks are more profitable compared to most nationalized banks.

There was a time when no one used to trust private banks for the banking needs. But, the

time has changed now. Many private banks now come in the list of top 10 banks in the

country. The wreath for this healthy change goes to the hard work done by the folks over

private banks. With attractive interest rates, bonus offers, the private banks have got success

in attracting customers. The private banks are known for their friendly and speedy service.

Since service plays a vital role in the banking sector, therefore the private banks have become

the favorite of many people.

Here is the list of top Banks in India as given by www.bankindia.org posted on April

24,2013 by Mr. Suraj Tandon in bank news.

BANKING SECTOR ANALYSIS

PEST ANALYSIS OF BANKING INDUSTRY PEST Analysis is the marketing tool which helps us in understanding macro environment

factors which affect the organisation.

PESTEL STANDS FOR

P-Political

E-Economic

S-Social

T-Technological

POLITICAL FACTORSThe Indian banking Industry is mostly dependent on the monetary policy decided by the RBI

Stricter regulations with respect to capital and liquidity directly affects the business of banks.

Banks need to adjust their interest rates accordingly, which may or may not favour them

Banks are forced to lend as per the guidelines of RBI, that includes credit growth in all

sectors Budgetary Measures announced by the government at the beginning of every financial

year also lay down guidelines to banks to lend or accept deposits The government can also

increase credit in particular sectors such as increase in farm credit, increase in infrastructure

credit etc.(priority lending) Sometimes the government gives debt waivers to certain sections

of the society that need to be adhered to by banks as well

To use a cliché, there will be a tectonic shift in the Indian banking landscape in 2014. Both

the body and the soul of the Rs.80 trillion banking industry will change. A set of new banks

will get the regulator’s approval, some foreign banks operating in India may decide in favor

of local incorporation to get near-national treatment, and new norms for early recognition of

financial distress and faster resolution and recovery will help curb rising bad assets and

improve the health of the banking system.

In 1969 the Indian government nationalised all the major banks that it did not already own

and these have remained under government ownership. They are run under a structure know

as 'profit-making public sector undertaking' (PSU) and are allowed to compete and operate as

Page 13 of 78

Page 14: Final Report_tanu chadha

commercial banks. The Indian banking sector is made up of four types of banks, as well as

the PSUs and the state banks, they have been joined since the 1990s by new private

commercial banks and a number of foreign banks.

A day after the exit polls set the market on fire, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) panel report

has recommended that the government should divest its stake in state-owned banks to less

than 50%, allow private equity houses to own 40% in distressed banks, and strip managers of

private sector banks of their bonuses and Esops if they are caught ever-greening sticky

loans. It has also said that RBI — and not the finance ministry — should have the last word

on regulation of public sector banks which command 70% of the market share. "Boards (of

PSU banks) are disempowered, and the selection process for directors is increasingly

compromised," said the report. The recommendations have the potential to transform Indian

banks.

The panel has proposed an age limit of 65 years for CEOs and whole time directors of private

sector banks. Once implemented, lenders like IndusInd Bank BSE 5.24 % and HDFC Bank

BSE 2.11 % would have to identify successors for Romesh Sobti and Aditya Puri in next two

years.

While new banks and locally incorporated foreign banks will rewrite the rules of the game,

RBI’s initiative to clean up bad loans will add strength to the banking system. The

combination of bad and restructured loans is at least 10% of total banking assets in India. The

new norms will give incentives to banks to detect the first sign of a loan turning bad and take

remedial steps and, at the same time, they will make life difficult for rogue borrowers. At the

next stage, RBI will probably focus on reforming state-run banks that account for about 70%

of banking assets, but lack the skill to manage them and aren’t smart enough to say no when

it comes to taking exposure to some sectors. Overall, 2014 will be action-packed; banks

cannot ask for a more exciting time.

ECONOMIC FACTORSEconomic factors in the country also effect the Banking Industry both favorably or

unfavorably. When the economy is in good shape in terms of high per capita income, good

agriculture harvest and normal inflation, banks have an edge as people are left with more

money to deposit them with banks. This helps in more capital formation as more deposits can

Page 14 of 78

Page 15: Final Report_tanu chadha

be realized. Also In the times of economic boom, more and more FDI is brought into India

through banking channels, that actually improves business for banks and the economy in

general Economic prosperity encourages lending business for the banks but in times of

recession banks face tough times to recover their money, issue fresh credit and NIMs are

lower too

Every year RBI declares its 6 monthly policies and accordingly the various measures and

rates are implemented which has an impact on the banking sector. The Economic measures

affects the banking sector to boost the economy by giving certain concessions or facilities. If

in the savings are encouraged, then more deposits will be attracted towards the banks and in

turn they can lend more money to the agricultural sector and industrial sector, therefore,

booming the economy. If the FDI limits are relaxed, then more FDI are brought in India

through banking channels

FDI POLICIESBanking Sector Private

Percentage of Equity /FDI Capital- 74% including investment by FIIs/FPIs

Entry Route- Automatic up to 49%, Government route beyond 49% and up to 74%

Other Conditions:

(1) This 74% limit will include investment under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) by

FIIs/FPIs, NRIs and shares acquired prior to September 16, 2003 by erstwhile OCBs, and

continue to include IPOs, Private placements, GDR/ADRs and acquisition of shares from

existing shareholders.

(2) The aggregate foreign investment in a private bank from all sources will be allowed up to

a maximum of 74 per cent of the paid up capital of the Bank. At all times, at least 26 per cent

of the paid up capital will have to be held by residents, except in regard to a wholly-owned

subsidiary of a foreign bank.

(3) The stipulations as above will be applicable to all investments in existing private sector

banks also

Page 15 of 78

Page 16: Final Report_tanu chadha

Monetary and Liquidity Measures

On the basis of an assessment of the current and evolving macroeconomic situation, it has been decided to:

keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 8.0 per

cent;

keep the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks unchanged at 4.0 per cent of net

demand and time liability (NDTL); and

increase the liquidity provided under 7-day and 14-day term repos from 0.5 per cent of NDTL

of the banking system to 0.75 per cent, and decrease the liquidity provided under overnight

repos under the LAF from 0.5 per cent of bank-wise NDTL to 0.25 per cent with immediate

effect.

Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7.0 per cent, and

the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the Bank Rate at 9.0 per cent.

INFLATION RATE

The average Inflation Rate in 2014 is 6.89% (based on CPI-Consumer Price Index)

Elevated borrowing costs have added to manufacturers' woes after the Reserve Bank

of India (RBI) hiked interest rates three times between September and January to curb

stubborn inflation which has showed no signs of easing even as growth tumbled.

Page 16 of 78

Page 17: Final Report_tanu chadha

SOCIAL FACTORSThe Indian banking system has been progressing rapidly. There are still several untapped

rural markets, despite the large number of banks in India Many farmers still take loans from

moneylenders at a very high interest rate and small-scale industries continue to remain

important for banks However changes could be expected in the near future for the

unorganized sector. The growing population of India is a great opportunity for Indian banks

as a lot of people in the country want to open a bank account and develop good savings habit.

Changing lifestyle of the Indian urban population who wants easy ways of financing to their

desires

TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORSInformation technology is one of the most important facilitators for the transformation of the

Indian banking industry in terms of its transactions processing as well as for various other

internal systems and processes. The various technological platforms used by banks for the

conduct of their day to day operations, their manner of reporting and the way in which

interbank transactions and clearing is affected has evolved substantially over the years.

The technological evolution of the Indian banking industry has been largely directed by the

various committees set up by the RBI and the government of India to review the

implementation of technological change. No major breakthrough in technology

implementation was achieved by the industry till the early 80s, though some working groups

and committees made stray references to the need for mechanization of some banking

processes. This was largely due to the stiff resistance by the very strong bank employees

unions. The early 1980s were instrumental in the introduction of mechanization and

computerization in Indian banks. This was the period when banks as well as the RBI went

very slow on mechanization, carefully avoiding the use of ‘computers’ to avoid resistance

from employee unions. However, this was the critical period acting as the icebreaker, which

led to the slow and steady move towards large scale technology adoption

Banks have changed in their operations and moved towards universal banking along with the

increased usage of technology and technology-based services offering alternate channels such

as smart cards, ATMs, usage of the internet, mobile and social banking. Banks have started

deploying core banking, human resource management (HRM) and enterprise risk (ERP)

management and process re-engineering etc to improve on their performance and

Page 17 of 78

Page 18: Final Report_tanu chadha

productivity. Majority of banks are insisting on cashless and paperless payment modes. 

According to a KPMG study, a research analysts says, as of FY2012, non-cash payments

constituted 91 per cent in value terms as compared to 88 per cent in FY in 2010 and 48 per

cent in terms of value from 35 per cent in FY 2010. A bank analyst says the payments made

through cheques in total non-cash transaction too has come down to 52 per cent from 83 per

cent in volume terms, and to nine per cent from 85 per cent in value terms during between FY

2006 and FY 2012.

MICHAEL PORTER ANALYSIS OF BANKING

INDUSTRY

THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS(LOW) Despite the regulatory and capital requirements of starting a new bank, between 1977 and

2002 an average of 215 new banks opened each year according to the FDIC. With so many

new banks entering the market each year the threat of new entrants should be extremely high.

However, due to mergers and bank failures the average number of total banks decreases by

roughly 253 a year cause the industry deals with other people's money and financial

information new banks find it difficult to start up. Due to the nature of the industry people are

Page 19 of 78

Page 20: Final Report_tanu chadha

more willing to place their trust in big name, well known, major banks who they consider to

be trustworthy.

" The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seems ready to issue in-principle licences to a third set of

new banks in the world’s tenth largest economy after it hears from the Election Commission

(EC). Depending on the EC’s stance, it can happen as early as next week or post the April-

May general election. In other words, the ball is now in the EC’s court. RBI has taken four

years to complete the exercise. Former finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced that a

new set of private players would be allowed to set up banks in February 2010.Twenty-five

companies have applied for licences but less than half a dozen may get RBI clearance."-this

news has given rise to threat of new entrants in banking industry. but according to a top

HDFC executive "I think the market is large enough to support the growth of more new

private-sector banks," HDFC Bank deputy managing director Paresh Sukthankar said at an

IIFL Investor Conference in Mumbai 

 Factors affecting new entrants in banking sector:

Government Licensing and RBI regulations

Skills manpower

High Initial investment 

POWER OF SUPPLIERS (MEDIUM TO HIGH)

Capital is the primary resource on any bank and there are four major suppliers (various other

suppliers [like fees] contribute to a lesser degree) of capital in the industry.  

1. Customer deposits.

2. mortgages and loans.

3. mortgage-backed securities.

4.Loans from other financial institutions

By utilizing these four major suppliers, the bank can be sure that they have the necessary

resources required to service their customers' borrowing needs while maintaining enough

capital to meet withdrawal expectations.

The power of the suppliers is largely based on the market, their power is often considered to

fluctuate between medium to high.

Factor affecting bargaining power of suppliers

Rise in investment avenues

Providers of funds

Page 20 of 78

Page 21: Final Report_tanu chadha

Interest rates

Valuations

The economic outlook

Role of RBI 

POWER OF BUYERS(LOW)The individual doesn't pose much of a threat to the banking industry, but one major factor

affecting the power of buyers is relatively high switching costs. If a person has one bank that

services their banking needs, mortgage, savings, checking, etc, it can be a huge hassle for that

person to switch to another bank. To try and convince customers to switch to their bank they

will often times lower the price of switching, though most people still prefer to stick with

their current bank. The internet has greatly increased the power of the consumer in the

banking industry. The internet has greatly increased the ease and reduced the cost for

consumers to compare the prices of opening/holding accounts as well as the rates offered at

various banks.

Factors affecting power of buyers

Long-term finance.

Margins and volumes.

Multiple Options

Banks Competitors

Retail lending

Page 21 of 78

Page 22: Final Report_tanu chadha

THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES(BASICALLY FROM NON

FINANCIAL CORPORATION/UNORGANISED SECTOR)Some of the banking industry's largest threats of substitution are not from rival banks but

from non financial competitors

The industry does not suffer any real threat of substitutes as far as deposits or withdrawals,

however insurances, mutual funds, and fixed income securities are some of the many banking

services that are also offered by a non banking companies. There is also the threat of payment

method substitutes and loans are relatively high for the industry.  For example, big name

electronics, jewelers, car dealers, and more tend to offer preferred financing on "big ticket"

items.  Often times these non-banking companies offer a lower interest rates on payments

then the consumer would otherwise get from a traditional bank loan.

Factors affecting substitution

Close customer relationships,

Conservative Customers

Risk taking customers attitude.

Switching costs

COMPETITIVE RIVALRY

The banking industry is considered highly competitive. The financial services industry has

been around for hundreds of years, and just about everyone who needs banking services

already has them. Because of this, banks must attempt to lure clients away from competitor

banks. They do this by offering lower financing, higher rates, investment services, and

greater conveniences than their rivals. The banking competition is often a race to determine

which bank can offer both the best and fastest services, but has caused banks to experience a

lower ROA (Return on Assets). Given the nature of the industry it is more likely to see

further consolidation in the banking industry. Major banks tend to prefer to acquire or merge

with other banks than to spend money marketing and advertising.

FINDINGS

The sample size has 35% people who has been associated with the bank from

6months to 2years showing steady increase in customers base

As the people belong to HNW segment hence the income of the customers is high

The people having account in HDFC also have accounts in SBI-29% and ICICI-29%

hence showing they are the competition to HDFC bank. Even Axis Bank is a tough

competitor to the bank as 24% of customers of HDFC also have their account in it

23% of people have chosen HDFC for its excellent service. We can also see the

people are showing interest in HDFC due to net banking facility provided by it

Mostly the customers visit the bank to get personalised advice from the Relationship

Managers showing that people are satisfied with their services.

From the sample size 43% HNW customers belong to preferred 26% to Classic and

31% to Imperia.

More than 50% of people are availing saving account

We can see from the data that people are really satisfied by the services provided by

the Relationship Manager and they have been successful in explaining the premium banking

program to HNW customers and even all the doubts have been clarified by them.

The Relationship Manager have a big responsibility of keeping HNW customers up to

date with the new initiatives and the collected data shows that customers are more than

satisfied with RMs and the way they are keeping them up to date

The bank has got excellent rating regarding the accessibility and responsiveness

Page 69 of 78

Page 70: Final Report_tanu chadha

The customers are happy and satisfied with most of the service quality except for the

waiting time for which most of the customers have given average and below average.

The customers are really satisfied with RMs work and hence rated personalised

banking service as excellent. The customers are no so satisfied with the interest rates of the

bank and hence giving it rating of below average.

A strange but a fact has come out during the research that customers are rational and

if provided with better service quality they will switch to some other bank and only 6% of

customers won't switch even when provided with better facility with some other bank. The

bank needs to concentrate on increasing the loyal customer base by creating more trust and

personalised relations with the customers.

CONCLUSIONBased on the internship and the work done I come to a conclusion Relationship Managers

play a very crucial role in satisfying the HNW customers. The factors that delight customers

tend to be concerned more with the intangible nature of the service, commitment,

attentiveness, friendliness, care, and courtesy.

The Relationship Managers give prompt services, are always ready to answer the questions

and are trustworthy. When the customer comes for the first time to bank they give a proper

attention to customer, so that the customer can be fully satisfied. There is a huge role of RMs

in the satisfaction of customer as they provides them good service. Customer also feels safe

while doing any transaction with the bank.

The main dissatisfaction appear to be in the waiting time as HDFC has long procedures for

things to be done plus the interest rates are not that attractive.

HDFC is also now focusing on direct banking channels though quite a work has been done

by the bank in this sphere but still it is working vigorously to increase its net banking base

this would ultimately help in reducing the waiting time .

The management should understand the benefits of service quality. It include increased

customer satisfaction, improved customer retention, positive word of mouth, reduced staff

turnover, decreased operating costs, enlarged market share, increased profitability, and

improved financial performance. In the days of intense competition, superior service is the

only differentiator left before the banks to attract, retain and partner with the customers.

Superior service quality enables a firm to differentiate itself from its competition, gain a

sustainable competitive advantage, and enhance efficiency. Thus, improving service quality

leads to the customer satisfaction and, ultimately, to customer loyalty.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Increase in virtualization to reduce the waiting time

Loan Liabilities should be given more stress

There should be an improvement made in interest rates so that they are competitive enough

according to industry standards.

During the interaction with the customers most of them wanted that Mobile sms should show

remaining balance

Looking for the other potential customers and designing products according to their needs

and requirements for example

The owners of “kirana” stores or groceries stores have lot of money but have little

knowledge of as to how to invest them productively for this the Relationship Managers

should work on including them in their premium banking program instead of waiting for

them to come to the bank. The RMs can prepare a database of the customers and try to

explain them the products that best suit their needs rather randomly calling people. Thus they

can be the other target customer and can be worked upon the above mentioned way.
