1. BANKING IN INDIA
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 Bank of Hindustan, which started in 1790;
both 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. In India, currently there are 25 public sector banks and 30 private
sector banks.
We can divide banking history into three parts.
(1)Post Independence(2)Nationalization(3)Liberalization
Post Independence: - India's independence marked the end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for
the Indian banking. The Government of India initiated measures to play an active role in the
economic life of the nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the government in
1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted into greater involvement of the state in different
segments of the economy including banking and finance. The major steps to regulate banking
included:
The Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized onJanuary 1, 1949 under the terms of the Reserve Bank of India (Transfer to Public
Ownership) Act, 1948
In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank ofIndia (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."
The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existingbank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors.
Nationalization: Despite the control of RBI, Indian banks continue to operate by private personexcept SBI.By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry had become an important tool to facilitate
the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it had emerged as a large employer,
and a debate had ensued about the nationalization of the banking industry. The Government of
India issued an ordinance and nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the
midnight of July 19, 1969. 6 more commercial banks nationalized in 1980

Liberalization: In the early 1990s, the then Narasimha 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 generation
banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce. This move,
along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, revitalized the banking sector in India,
which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely,
government banks, private banks and foreign banks.The next stage for the Indian banking has
been set up with the proposed relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all
Foreign Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of
10%,at present it has gone up to 74% with some restrictions. Currently banking in India is
generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural
India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks.

1.1ROLE OF BANKS IN INDIAN ECONOMY
A proper financial growth is important for economic growth of developed and developing
economy. Commercial banking sector should be well regulated & efficient because it is the
financial backbone of households. Banks plays various roles:
Capital Formation: Generally rate of saving is low in underdeveloped country because of deep
rooted poverty but even if proper mechanism there for savings of domestic household that capital
can be available to use for entrepreneurs for productive purpose.
Innovation: Entrepreneurs do various innovations to generate job and improve the quality of life
of the citizens. These innovations which need fund for efficient operation are provided by banks.
Banks provided credit for innovative firm.
Finance for Priority Sector: Commercial bank generally hesitate to give credit to these
underdeveloped sector because these loan may become NPA. Due to RBI regulation these banks
take risk & provide growth opportunity to these sectors by providing and giving credit.
Cheap Money Policy: Bank sucks or pumps money according the requirement of the economy.
Like in recessionary pressure cheap money flows but in inflationary interest rises to tackle
liquidity in the system.
ROLE OF RBI
Monetary Policy. Regulator & Supervisor of Financial System Manager of Exchange Control Issuer of Currency Development Role

4. CUSTOMER EXPECTATION
High
Low
(1)Minimum Tolerable Expectation: After contacting several existing customers (Retail)of SBI, we realized that some of them have very less expectations. They have opened the
saving account because it is Indias largest public sector bank & their money is safe.
Though many of them dont expect service as good as that provided by other private
bank, but came to SBI for many loans like Teaser Loan as its interest rate is least in the
industry.
(2)Acceptable Expectation: Many customers expect that bank employees will listen to theirproblem & serve them in a adequate manner.
(3)Experienced Based Expectation: Many customers believe that most of the time SBIprovides good & fast service but when the staff is on less & during rush hours, due to
higher load they have to wait longer period than usual.
(4)Normative Expectation: Many customers, especially students who have taken educationloan, believe that its interest rate charges are more than what many PSB offer so they
expect that SBI will provide the various installments at the right time without much delay
in various procedures. Many corporate customers believe that they are providing crores
of rupees business to SBI so the bank will provide loan & credit for their future business
expansion easily.
(5)Ideal Expectation: Everyone says that you name any product/service in the bankingsector and you will find it at SBI. So many customers open their current and saving

account at SBI because they are looking for a one stop banking service at SBI. It provides
insurance, mutual fund and all other the services based on the customers requirement.
Expectations of customer:
Minimum waiting time (approximately 5-7 min) Automatic update on new products/services/schemes. Floating rate should be most competitive in the industry. Highest risk free rate of return. Simplicity of documentation procedure. There should not be any hidden fee & charge.
5. CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOR
1) Need recognition: SBI is providing its service to retail customers as well as corporateclients. For a retail client there need is safety of their money. Retail customer are looking for
risk free growth of their saving. Corporate client is looking that SBI will manage their cash
flow requirement in such a way that SBI will deploy the idle fund in the most efficient
manner. Meet their requirement of the short term fund in cost effective manner.
2) Information Search:Information is available in the following ways
a. Internet: The official website of SBI and other government sites promoting Indianbanking. Customers can also give their contact number to the agent so that an SBIemployee can contact him back.
b. Bank Branches: SBI & its associates gas the largest network through bank branches.So the customer can visit any of the bank branches to gather information.
c. Friends\Colleagues: People who have already availing SBI services.The customer then gathers information for the following parameters:
a) Price (interest rate) b) Convenience (Distance) c) Timeliness of service
Other factor like reliability, assurance responsiveness etc. can also play important role.3) Evaluation of alternatives:
There are more than 50 banks operating in India currently. So the customers can select a
particular bank based on their requirement like HDFC bank has the specialization in
providing home loan and ICICI is the largest private sector bank.
Customers can do a comparative analysis of various services provided by different banks
based on information available on the internet etc.

6) PROCESS
Processes to avail various services are standardized across the branches. The customer has to
follow particular procedure to avail those services. Also, the employees have to follow certain
pre-defined procedure to provide those services to the customers.
7) PEOPLE
People are the most important part of the whole service delivery process. In the case of services,
people are on both sides i.e. the service providers and the customers. SBI has employee base of
around 2 Lac. Any new employee - a clerk or a probationary officer is been given proper training
for 3-6 months. New joiners are trained through various procedures to deliver services to
customers. It depends on the customer what kind of services he wants to avail from the bank and
his cooperation in following the whole process and making it easier for the employee to servicehim, thereby making him an important part of the whole process.
8. DEMAND & CAPACITY MANAGEMENT
1) As various banking service are seasonal & unpredictable, so matching capacity with demand
efficiently becomes a cumbersome task. The important step which SBI does is to separate banks
factory like transaction (like check encashment, withdrawal etc) which are more standardized
than personalized ones (like opening new account, loan application etc). Factory like
transactions are more predictable based on the no of account & past trends. Matching
infrastructure capacity (people, process, system) for factory transaction is the very first step.
2) Bank changes working hour to meet the varying demand, but when overtime crosses the
particular limit bank manager request for more personnel from headquarter.
3) On the job multi skill development program for employee to meet supply in peak hour.
4) Mobile van used by SBI to meet demand from rural area. It reduces the load on the bank
branch.
5) Dollar value per employee is the index used to standardize the no of employee per branch.
6) When
Credit growth rate > Deposit rate (Bank Increase interest rate)
Credit growth rate < Deposit rate(Bank reduce interest rate)
-
7/28/2019 Services Marketing Project Ram
26/29
7) SBI has the maximum number of ATMs (25,000 as on 31 March, 2011) to reduce load on
bank branch.
8) SBI has been continuously recruiting Clerk & Probationary Officer to meet the manpower
requirement at various branches.
9) More & more automation is done to reduce the load on manpower & efficient use of
infrastructure (Automatic note counting machine).
9. CONCLUSIONS
SBI is at the top of consumers share of mind & share of heart in Indian banking sector. It has the
largest network of bank branches across the India which enables it to deliver its service in
various geographic areas. SBI is the market leader and others follow what SBI does. SBI has
different targeting strategy for various product/ service based on its target segment. As it has
captured more than 20% share of market it can leverage on its economies of scale and economies
of scope. Consumer perceive SBI as the one stop shopping where they can meet the all the
banking service requirement. Consumers perceive SBI as the safest bank due to its government
holding & large customer base.
10.RECOMMENDATIONS
Following few points which would help SBI in improving its consumer satisfaction which in turn
would also improve its consumer perception.
SBI bank branches should improve to its physical infrastructures (interiors as wellexteriors) to make it comparable to the private bank. Though it is the gradual and slow
process, so SBI can start with urban cities first.
Bank should recruit more personnel to reduce average waiting time per customer. Also, itwould increase the ratio of no of employees per 1000 customers.
Promotion on Electronic media is less when compared to private banks. Bank canincrease expenditure on this to improve its brand building further.
