HISTORY OF BANKING

he first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world, and were

probably established sometime during the third millennium B.C. Banks probably predated

the invention of money. Deposits initially consisted of grain and later other goods including

cattle, agricultural implements, and eventually precious metals such as gold, in the form of

easy-to-carry compressed plates. Temples and palaces were the safest places to store gold as

they were constantly attended and well built. There are extant records of loans from the 18th

century BC in Babylon that were made by temple priests/monks to merchants.

Prist drives the Usurers out of the Temple.

MAJOR EVENTS IN BANKING HISTORY

BANKING IN INDIA

Only one Indian Bank in the top 100 Banks in the world India's best and brightest, the SBI, is roughly one-tenth the size of the world's

biggest bank - Citigroup

Six Chinese banks feature among the top 25 Asian banks while India has only tworepresentatives - SBI and ICICI Bank.

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in

existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins

back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the

responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these

responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking

functions.

Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that iswith 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.

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 originatedin 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.

The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.

NATIONALISATION

By the 1960s, the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks

with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969.

A second dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated

reason for the nationalization was to give the government more control of credit delivery. With

the second dose of nationalization, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking business of

India.

LIBERALISATION

In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of

liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as New

Generation tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such new generationbanks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Axis

Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank.

In general priority banking means giving priority to the customers in the services like financial

services, trade services, commercial banking, stock broking, mutual fund, insurance services

and investment banking offered by the bank compare to the normal bank customers.

As per Kotak Mahindra Bank priority banking is all about customer-customer needs, customer

goals, customer dreams and customer aspiration and fulfilling these by making their money

work for them. The core of the priority banking is to identify new opportunities to develop the

right investment plan and also for the management of the investment of the priority customer to

work towards the attainment of the financial objective of the customer. Means the investment

planning of the customer on the basis of risk profile, financial goals, time horizon and many

more. With comprehensive suite of banking services it access the wide range of investment

evolution of the priority banking. Nearer to home, Time saver, Home banking, Net banking,

From the Bank point of view:

If we think from the bank point of view we can say that banks want money for the investment

purpose, for the lending purpose etc. but A/cs are not enough to generate those money. Also

HNI's have idle money which they are not able to utilize due to their unawareness and

ignorance of the investment opportunities which bank can provide.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AT PRIORITY BANKING

Investment management is the professional management of various securities (shares, bonds

etc.) and assets (e.g., real estate), to meet specified investment goals for the benefit of the

investors. Investors may be institutions (insurance companies, pension funds, corporations etc.)

or private investors (both directly via investment contracts and more commonly via collective

investment schemes (e.g. mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds) .

The provision of 'investment management services' includes elements of financial analysis,

asset selection, stock selection, plan implementation and ongoing monitoring of investments.

Investment management is a large and important global industry in its own right responsible for

caretaking of trillions of dollars, euro, pounds and yen. Coming under the remit of financial

services many of the world's largest companies are at least in part investment managers and

employ millions of staff and create billions in revenue.

Investment management at priority banking is not a onetime process; it is a continuous

process. Priority customers invest through bank in different investment products so its a duty

of the bank to manage their investments in profitable way. Investment management at priority

banking is done by a priority relationship manager for the customers who are mapped under

them or through his/her guidance customers have invested in the investment products.

Investment management process at priority banking is done in different steps which can be

described in this manner. It starts from the customer profiling and ends at feed back of the

customer.

RISK PROFILING OF THE CUSTOMER

Risk profiling of a customer tells about whether a customer is risk taker or risk averter. And

also how much risk he is willing to take. On the basis of the risk profiling of a customer a

customer can be divided in to three categories.

Conservative

Moderate

Aggressive

8/9/2019 Kartik Sheth 08BS0001412

30/54


Conservative

Customer is that who almost risk averter is. Who is not willing to take more risk. If we say in

investment term he wants his capital guaranteed and also grows moderately year by year. He

also wants guaranteed return on his investments and willing to invest for a long term.

Moderate

Risk taking customers are those who are willing to take slightly higher risk than the

conservative ones but lower than the aggressive ones. In terms of investment language they

want their capital guaranteed or temporary decline in principal at times but willing to take

higher risk for the higher returns compare to conservative ones.

Aggressive

Ones are those who are willing to take high risk for higher returns. They want above average

return or high return at fluctuating value of investment also. They are the highest risk taker

amongst the entire three categories. They are not much bother about their capital; if it declines

at a time it also bearable for them but their returns has to be high.

The risk profiling of the customer can be identified from through such kind ofquestions.

- Which investment plan suits the customer most?- Low & steady returns with safety on principal at all times.- Medium rybeturns with temporary decline in principal at all times.- Above average return with fluctuating value of investment.- High returns high risk.

investment opportunities. It defines where the money of the investor is being invested

according to the preference of the customer. There are many investment fields available in the

markets which are as follows.

MUTUAL FUND:

Mutual Fund investments are the unit based investment product where for the sum invested

investor gets units of the funds and then based on the NAV and Dividends they gets the

returns. It is one of the important investment options for the investors. It gives many options

STRUCTURES PRODUCTS:

Structured products are those products which are those whose structure is already fixed. These

are different from organization to organization. There is only one structured product that is

available NIFTY LINKED DEBENTURE by the Kotak Bank in the market.

BANKING PRODUCTS:

Banking products are also one of the most attractive and safe investment alternatives available

for the customers. There are different products where an investor can invest ranging from Fixed

Deposits on which one can get interest from 4% to 10%, Savings accounts on which one can

get interest of 3.50%, SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans), OTCs where one can earn on the

basis of NAV appreciation by regular investment on the monthly basis for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

years and on the basis of bonus. Portfolio management services (PMS) is also one of the

products where a portfolio of the shares is being made and given to the customer and then

portfolio manager manage that portfolio in a profitable way.

EQUITY & DEBT MARKET

Equity market or stock market is a system through which company shares are traded.

The equity market offers investors an opportunity to participate in a company's success through

an increase in its stock price. The Indian equity market focuses on the National Stock

Exchange (NSE) & Bombay stock exchange (BSE), a computerized system of

brokers/dealers with no physical trading. Investors invest in the shares of the small cap, mid cap

& large cap. Companies and get the returns in the form of increase in the stock prices anddividends. It is one of the easiest but the riskiest form of investment product. It also consists

many products like

8/9/2019 Kartik Sheth 08BS0001412

34/54


The debt market is the market for trading debt securities. The debt market thus involves

corporate bonds, government bonds, municipal bonds, negotiable certificates of deposit, and

various money market investments. The debt market includes the primary market, where debts

are first sold to the public; and the secondary market, where investors sell debts to each other

afterward. On the secondary debt market, debts can be sold on exchanges or on the over-the-

counter market, but most are traded over the counter.

RISK PROFILING OF THE DIFFERENT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Investment opportunities are with varying degrees of risk. Investment opportunities like

banking products, mutual funds, insurance, equity or debt market, structured products etc are of

holding varying degree of risk. Some are highly risky, some are moderately risky and some are

less risky.

MUTUAL FUND is considered to be a risky product of investment because of the uncertainty

of the change of the economic situation and market condition. Both will affect the performance

of the mutual funds. Their NAV (Net Asset Value) & Dividends are depending upon it.

Example Many of the mutual funds NAV are below 10 Rs. Which are of 10 Rs. facevalue like ASIA and many are doing good and their NAV are high compare to others. Like

LIC G.SEC fund has the NAV of Rs. 25.79, also ICICI PRUDENTIALGILT FUND has

Rs.18.11 from Rs.10 right now.

DEBT MARKET is considered to be a less risky compare to equity and mutual funds; because

of the guarantee of the capital and regular returns. Debt market securities gives investorsguaranteed returns at steady growth in the capital. Debt market instruments are very famous

amongst the investors in such kind of market condition that is prevailing today. Its a long term

investment product for say 5 to 10 years or more with moderate growth in the dividends as well

as invested capital.

Example: Bonds and Debentures are considered to be a liability for the companies.

Companies mortgage their assets to debenture holders. They are consider to be an owner of the

companys assets. Also company has to pay regular interest to the debenture holders.

EQUITY MARKET is consider to be high risk investment product where trading in shares of

the companies is concern to be highly risky because of the market uncertainty. Its a high risk

product compare to debt market and other investment opportunities because equity market is

highly volatile and minor economic and political changes as well as industrial changes can

change the market fundamentals.

Example: Due to change in the govt. in the last election the markets swings and dropdown like anything. Also due to financial and economic crisis in America and in the world

our markets sinks from 21000 mark to below 8000 mark.

LIFE INSURANCE is one ofthe safest products for investment. There is no chance of capital

loss in this product. The capital will definitely appreciate at the time of maturity. Also with the

same capital there is always a gain of interest. Life insurance gives insurer a cover for its life.

The only point of concern is that the return that can be generated by investing in the life

insurance is might be lesser than the return generated by the equity market where the concept of

high risk high return is applicable.

Example: Kotak Smart Advantage Plan gives back the Amount Invested (90% of thetotal) guaranteed and also the bonus at the time of maturity (at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years) to the

investor plus 90% of the increased value of the NAV.

BANKING PRODUCTSare also one of the safe products of investment to some extent. Like

Fixed Deposits and savings are the most known products for the investment in current scenario

for the customers compare to other investment products in terms of safe and fixed returns. Also

other products like OTCs where the money invested in that are invested in stock market and

returns generated are the profit that customers get in terms of increased value of NAV. But it is

based on the market volatility so it is more risky compare to others.

FIND OUT THE BEST INVESTMENT OPTION

The next and one of the most important steps in the process is to find out the best investment

option for the customer based on different criteria which suits the need of the customers. There

are many different criteria that are followed..

On the basis of criteria like what customer prefer (where he/she wants to invest), how much

amount he wants to invest, for what time period, what is the investment risk, what is the

RETURNS

GENERATED

financial goals of the customer, what is the risk of investment and the most important returns

generated.

We will explain this process by Practical examples.

Example: If a person wants to invest small amount say below 1Lk for 1-2 year with a 30K to

40K per month (Steady Income) and within the age group of 24 to 40 years than his investment

perspective would be for a long term so his investment would be ideally 60% into equity, 25 %

in debt, and 15% in liquid.

If his age is between 41 to 60 years than his investment portfolio will consist 40% equity, 30%

debt and 30% equity. And if above 60 years (Retired) than his investment will consist 20%-

25% equity, 50% debt and 25%-30% liquid ideally.

Now if he is a Priority Customer and he wants to invest than the investment module will

be different. Because a priority customer will not invest less than 10lk. So for such type

of customer the investment options are like this.

If he has any preference for the investment than his investment portfolio would be of that kind

but if his investment goal is not sure than on the basis of the suggestion of the Priority

Relationship Manager he/she makes investments.

Example: one of the investor wants to invest 1cr. Rupees but not sure where to invest. So our

PRM went there and convince him to invest in Kotak Smart Advantage Plan, an insurance

which is linked with the investment. The money of the customer invested in Dynamic Flow

Fund (DFF) which invests the customers money into Equity market and according to its

performance its current NAV is increased from Rs.10 to Rs. 13.65. Also it guarantees 90%

return. With bonus at the time of maturity at 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years.

8/9/2019 Kartik Sheth 08BS0001412

38/54


Example: also one customer wants to invest 25 lk so our PRM went his house and convince

him to invest in the DFF because he wants higher returns which is assured also to some extent

and he also wants to take high risk and his investment horizon is long term. and now as

mentioned earlier he gets good return and is now he is satisfied with it. So after analyzing

different criteria his investment is planned.

INVESTMENT

The next step in the investment management process is the investment. After convincing the

customer the banking process like form fill up, documents collection, documents submission,

acceptance, issue of certificate etc has to be followed and when the form is passed from the

process than his amount is got invested and he is allotted units if incest in Mutual Fund, policy

will be hand over if Insurance is being taken or certificates are provided is any banking

products has been taken.

FOLLOW UP

Follow up has to be taken in terms of

What is the current NAV of the invested fund?

What is the value of the investment say in PMS?

Whether any dividend is declared or not?

Whether the investment option selected is profitable or not? If not than whether it needs

to be converted in any other investment option?

Is there any new profitable investment opportunity is available in the market?

Whether the customer is satisfied or not?

Such kind of follow ups is being taken by the relationship manager on a regular basis.

39/54


CONVERTIBILITY

If the term of maturity is nearby or if there is any profitable alternative is available in the

market than the amount invested in one product is being redeemed and invested in the other

product.

Example: Due to the knowledge and fear of market crash the amount invested in PMS is being

redeemed and invested in insurance and other investment products at 18000, 19000, 20500

mark by our PRMs. Because of other profitable investment options are available and this option

is no more remain profitable for the investor.

And the last step in the process of investment management is the feedback from the

customers.

FEEDBACK

Feed back of the customer is being taken by the manager about their relationship with the bank

whether they are satisfied or not from the way the bank has provided them the services. And

also it is an attempt to know about the new investment prospects.

This brings the end of the process of investment management but after this also there is a

continuous monitoring of the PRM is going on, on the investment of its customers. To check

out the current status and new prospects for the investment

RecommendationsCustomer satisfaction:

Kotak bank can improve upon its services through more customer interaction.

More focus upon their customers benefits with individual target achievement of the

employees.

Survival in the competition:In todays scenario Kotak has to compete with already established giants like HDFC,

SBI, ICICI, AXIS etc upon their offerings.

Kotak, to be in can lower down its lending rates which are as high as 14% to 24.75%

compare to other banks 10.5% to 20%.

Kotak can also become more liberal in processes without compromising upon its service

quality.

Increase Sales & revenueFor sales boost up from the survey it is being known that now more & more investors

want to invest in equity and debt. Market as well as insurance products.

Kotak can push its mutual funds, PMS (portfolio management services), profitableinsurance plans (like retirement, growth, and linked plans) to its customers.

At Baroda it has to introduce Home Loan facility which is not available there to increase

the revenue earnings.

PRACTICAL SCENARIO

If see in terms of unclaimed money only, the distribution of such funds RBI said that most of

this money is lying in saving deposit accounts. More than 77.4 lakh accounts, which form a

massive 75% of the entire accounts percent have these funds. In terms of unclaimed money this

segment accounts for Rs. 629.94 crore, which is over 60% of the total amount. Rs. 232 crore is

lying unclaimed in 8.3 lakh fixed deposit accounts.

The money has not been able properly generated into the market. There is ample amount of idle

money lying into the banks FDs and different savings A/c which is not being used according to

the market needs. Also the return customers get is nominal compare to other investment

opportunities available to them.

Today most of the people working in the market are for their benefit; hardly very few people

are working for their customers benefit. They all are TARGET oriented. They want to

complete their targets at the cost of the customers. They convince the customers to invest in the

products which are profitable to them but less compare to other investment opportunity because

they have targets for that.

In banking two kind of relationship can be maintained with the customer.

Take, invest and throw out.

Take, invest and maintained life long relationship.

But in todays scenario it is needless to say that to save their jobs most of the employees of

almost all the banks are practicing first rather than second.
