INTRODUCTION
Background
Indias banking sector has seen large growth, and is regarded as one of the best in
the developing world. That is because we had adopted a policy measure quite some
time ago unlike many other developing countries to follow the best international
standards, both for public sector and private sector banks. That is very important in
terms of capital adequacy, provisioning of bank loans, etc.
Today, Indias commercial banking sector is a sound, rule-abiding system that meets
all the criteria of a good banking system. Non-performing assets, or NPAs, are better
in comparison with several countries. Even in terms of interest rate spread the cost
of banking is how much you charge above the minimum interest rate we compare
quite favourably with the rest of the world. We did not adopt the kind of subsidiaries,
collaterals and investment banking systems that some parts of the world such as the
US adopted. This is why in the 2008 crisis, we did not go haywire, though it did affect
the profits of our banks. Now, other countries, too, are considering a conservative,
straightforward banking system.
Central Bank of India, a government-owned bank, is one of the oldest and largest
commercial banks in India.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design Procedure
The research would include comparison of retail products catered by Central Bank of
India from that of different leading banks and through this, telling the actual position
of Central Bank and ways to how they can improve their product and make it more
attractive. For this research the procedure we are going to take are:
Preparing a questionnaire to know the consumer behaviour towards different
banks product and services they offer. By this we would be able to say which
factor plays a major role in attracting consumer and on what should Central Bank
of India work.
Factors on which consumer behaviour would be checked are good and fast
services, rate of interest on investment, ambience of bank, consistent in its
operations, advance technology, connectivity, fast disposal of proposals,
customer friendly and easiness/simplicity in conducting banking operation.

Table 3: Factors that are being checked through questionnaire
Our target segment were people who use retail products of different banks
and by getting the questionnaire filled by them, we got their view point of what
they prefer the most. Questionnaire is attached at last.
For getting my questionnaire filled, I have gone to different banks branches
and got the questionnaire filled by the general public and also by my
neighbours and friends.
This data was entered into excel sheet and SPSS software was applied for
checking the reliability.
Also I have taken some products of Central Bank and compared with other
banks product and this data was mostly collected from secondary sources
such as internet by assessing particular bank site and pamphlets of that
banks product. Some data was also collected by going to that banks branch
and asking the concerned person dealing with that retail product.

After comparing the products, giving suggestions on how they could improve
their product and make more out of it.
Analysis
Primary Data
The sample size is of 149 i.e. the questionnaire was filled by 149 people. Our target
segment were the general public using these retail products.

In statistics, Cronbach's (alpha) is a coefficient of internal consistency. It is
commonly used as an estimate of the reliability of a psychometric test for a sample
-
13 | P a g e
of examinees Cronbach's alpha is widely believed to indirectly indicate the degree to
which a set of items measures a single unidimensional latent construct.
As value of Cronbachs Alpha is 0.893 i.e. greater then 0.7, this mean our
questionnaire is reliable for fetching the right data.
Reliability (Cronbach's alpha) for the modified SERVQUAL scale was tested for each
of the six banks and for the entire sample.
Bank Cronbachs Alpha
Central Bank of India 0.707
HDFC Bank 0.717
ICICI Bank 0.851
Punjab National Bank 0.897
State Bank of India 0.914
YES Bank 0.655
Total Pilot Study 0.893
Table 6: Reliability Test for each Banks
It can thus be seen that the reliability figures are high, all above the recommended
lower limit of 0.70 except that of YES Bank. This is due to small sample size of each
bank and YES bank is considered good in mid sized bank while other 5 are large
sized banks.

through this questionnaire, we can extract the right result.

Current Account
All banks provide almost same facilities and features for Current Account.
Recommendation:
CASA is one of the major source of income for Banks so almost every bank is
working on it. It is the major source of profitability. So Central Bank should focus
on it and try to have as many customers.
This can be done by arranging camps and awareness programmes, where bank
representatives should try to convince people and tell them what benefits they
would be having if they open their account in our bank.
It can be seen through an article that HDFC Bank's retail services have become
by and large the best in India and since the contribution to CASA i.e. total
number of current and savings account of more than 50%, making HDFC BANK
India's No.1 Private Sector Bank.
Easing the process of Know your Customer so that a person interested in
opening an account dont get irritated by the tedious formalities.

compared to private sector banks. This difference is because of the services
provided by private sector are more customer oriented.
Central Bank should majorly focus on NPA as this is affecting both the
profitability and provisioning of the bank. We need to keep provisioning money
separate for NPA which cant be used for other purposes.
Bank should arrange recovery camps at regular intervals so as to reduce Non
Performing Assets.
Bank should also give weightage to retail portfolio as there probability of
occurrence of NPA is less and Central bank has highly invested in commercial
sector which are not or less performing these days.

These facilities are same for almost every bank. The major factor which makes
the difference is the service provided by the bank employees to the customer.
Good service encourages people to use these ancillary services like internet
banking, ATMs, etc.
Bank should encourage and promote their customers to use these services as it
saves lot of time and money. People dont have to wait for long time in lines for
depositing and withdrawing money and cost of bank also get reduced. According
to survey, dealing with the customer in a bank branch cost around Rs 200 and if
the person go to ATM for these little services such as mini statement, withdrawal
and deposits then the total cost incurred to the bank is not more then Rs 20.

31 | P a g e
Through the selected branches of Central Bank of India you can invest in various
schemes of UTI Mutual Fund , TATA Mutual Fund , Franklin Templeton Mutual
Fund, Reliance Mutual Fund, Sundaram Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund,
ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, DSP Blackrock Mutual Fund, IDFC Mutual Fund, L&T
Mutual Fund and Principal Pnb Mutual Fund . All these fund houses have decent
performance record.
Recommendations:
Central Bank should market their third party policies well so that people get to
about different schemes. Private sector banks through third party services earn a
good sum on a commission basis and provide their customers with an
investment option at one point store. Central Bank has a tie up with LIC and
Chola MS Insurance. They should try to make best use out of it.
There should be proper officials hired for marketing purpose who can represent
Central Bank. At each branch, some people should be hired specifically for the
purpose of guiding the public about different products and telling what would be
best for them.
Doing advertisement of their major products through banners at crowded places
and through television advertisements so that people get to know about it.

RESULTS
When we compared our 6 banks on these four dimensions then the result came out
to be:
CBI HDFC ICICI PNB SBI YES
Customer
Orientedness
0.722 0.855 0.701 0.908 0.858 0.757
Competence 0.331 0.807 0.796 0.738 0.863 0.710
Tangibles 0.496 0.724 0.787 0.842 0.735 0.796
Convenience 0.796 0.764 0.846 0.726 0.898 0.631
Table 28: Result of the survey by SPSS
By this result we can see that Central Bank of India is lacking in Competence and
tangibles. Competence covers response of the bank employee towards customers
problem and whether services are being delivered on time or not. Tangibles cover
the physical facilities available at branch premises.
In competence, performance of Central Bank is not that satisfactory as compared to
other banks. According to the survey, people are dissatisfied due to unusual delay in
services and response of bank employees, which is not that welcoming to general
public which in turn is creating a feeling of bitterness among them.
In tangibles, the branch premises are not that attractive as they are not properly
maintained. There should be pamphlets available in branches so that people get to
know about banks different product.
-
33 | P a g e
But the good point is Central Bank retail products are customer oriented. If they are
well marketed then the bank can touch heights in Agra. The bank needs to work on
two things:
Firstly improving their service by having a regular training and development program
for employees so that they learn the skill of convincing the public and
Secondly installing banners at crowded place and even in banks so that public get to
know about the products.
In YES Bank, convenience factor is lagging, as it is a bank opened 20 years back. It
is considered as the best mid sized bank but till date it has less number of branches
and ATMs. This makes its score low at that dimension.

RECOMMENDATION
Deposits
CASA is one of the major source of income for Banks so almost every bank is
working on it. It is the major source of profitability. So Central Bank should focus
on it and try to have as many customers by arranging camps and awareness
programmes, where bank representatives should try to convince people and tell
them what benefits they would be having if they open their account in our bank.
Easing the process of Know your Customer so that a person interested in
opening an account dont get irritated by the tedious formalities.
Loans
The interest rates of every bank are almost same, maximum variation is of 0.5%
p.a. in that particular segment. Public Sector banks have low interest rates as
compared to private sector banks. This difference is because of the services
provided by private sector are more customer oriented.
Central Bank of India should majorly focus on NPA as this is affecting both the
profitability and provisioning of the bank. We need to keep provisioning money
separate for NPA which cant be used for other purposes.
Bank should arrange recovery camps at regular intervals so as to reduce Non
Performing Assets.
Bank should also give weightage to retail portfolio as there probability of
occurrence of NPA is less and Central bank has highly invested in commercial
