    RESEARCH DESIGN:

    The methodology for the research study is descriptive and is as follows:

    Research Approach:Quantitative research

    Objectives:

    The main objective of our project is:

    To assess and compare the overall service performance of SB and !"S ban#$

    To #now in which service %uality dimension the ban# is performing well and in which

    dimension it needs improvement$

    To #now customers re%uirements or e&pectation for service$

    Sap!i"#:

    'ollowing sampling is designed in order to e&ecute the survey$

    Sample !rea:: (elhi

    Sample si)e: 1** !"S customers

    1** SB customers

    Sample (esign: Samples selected in the survey are those who are the customers of

    either !"S or SB or both$

    LIMITAION O$ ST%D&:

    The study was restricted to two ban#s+ so the competitive scenario could not be

    studied$

    nade%uate time was the major constraint during the whole project$

    !ll the answers given by the respondents have been assumed true$

    A SNA)SHOT O$ THE -ANKING IND%STR&:

    The 7eserve Ban# of ndia D7BE+ as the central ban# of the country+ closely monitors

    developments in the whole financial sector$

    The ban#ing sector is dominated by Scheduled ommercial Ban#s DSBsE$ !s at end>9arch

    2**2+ there were 2CA ommercial ban#s operating in ndia$ This included 2 0ublic Sector

    Ban#s D0SBsE+ 31 0rivate+ ,2 'oreign and 1CA 7egional 7ural Ban#s$ !lso+ there were A

    scheduled co>operative ban#s consisting of .1 scheduled urban co>operative ban#s and 1A

    scheduled state co>operative ban#s$

    Scheduled commercial ban#s touched+ on the deposit front+ a growth of 1,F as against 1=F

    registered in the previous year$ !nd on advances+ the growth was 1,$.F against 1$3F of the

    earlier year$

    State Ban# of ndia is still the largest ban# in ndia with the mar#et share of 2*F and

    its two subsidiaries merged with Ban#+ leading creating the second largest ban# in

    ndia with a balance sheet si)e of 7s$ 1*,*bn$

    igher provisioning norms+ tighter asset classification norms+ dispensing with the concept of

    Gpast due? for recognition of /0!s+ lowering of ceiling on e&posure to a single borrower and

    group e&posure etc$+ are among the measures in order to improve the ban#ing sector$

    ! minimum stipulated apital !de%uacy 7atio D!7E was introduced to strengthen the

    ability of ban#s to absorb losses and the ratio has subse%uently been raised from =F to CF$ t

    is proposed to hi#e the !7 to 12F by 2**, based on the Basle ommittee

    recommendations$

    7etail Ban#ing is the new mantra in the ban#ing sector$ The home loans alone account for

    nearly two>third of the total retail portfolio of the ban#$ !ccording to one estimate+ the retail

    segment is e&pected to grow at 3*>,*F in the coming years$

    /et ban#ing+ phone ban#ing+ mobile ban#ing+ !T9s and bill payments are the new bu))

    words that ban#s are using to lure customers$

    new private sector ban#s and the foreign ban#s$ The new private sector ban#s first made their

    appearance after the guidelines permitting them were issued in @anuary 1CC3$ ight new

    private sector ban#s are presently in operation$ These ban#s due to their late start have access

    to state>of>the>art technology+ which in turn helps them to save on manpower costs and

    provide better services$

    (uring the year 2***+ the State Ban# of ndia DSBE and its associates accounted for a 2.F

    share in deposits and 2=$1F share in credit$ The 2* nationali)ed ban#s accounted for .3$.F

    of the deposits and ,$.F of credit during the same period$ The share of foreign ban#s

    D numbering ,2 E+ regional rural ban#s and other scheduled commercial ban#s accounted for

    .$F+ 3$CF and 12$2F respectively in deposits and =$,1F+ 3$1,F and 12$=.F respectively in

    credit during the year 2***$

    CLASSI$ICATION O$ -ANKS:

    The ndian ban#ing industry+ which is governed by the Ban#ing 7egulation !ct of ndia+

    1C,C can be broadly classified into two major categories+ non>scheduled ban#s and scheduled

    ban#s$ Scheduled ban#s comprise commercial ban#s and the co>operative ban#s$ n terms of

    ownership+ commercial ban#s can be further grouped into nationali)ed ban#s+ the State Ban#

    of ndia and its group ban#s+ regional rural ban#s and private sector ban#s Dthe old H new

    domestic and foreignE$ These ban#s have over A+*** branches spread across the country$

    The ndian ban#ing industry is a mi& of the public sector+ private sector and foreign ban#s$

    The private sector ban#s are again spilt into old ban#s and new ban#s$

    The nternational 9onetary 'und D9'E has forecast that ndia?s gross domestic product

    the following year$ This is well below the CF growth in the year to 9arch 2**= and even

    lower than the government?s prediction of $1F growth in 2**=>*C$

    SB enjoys a monopoly of the government business$ The 7eserve Ban# of ndia owns about

    A*F of the ban#?s e%uity$ To its credit+ SB mobili)ed L,$2 billion through the 7esurgent

    ndia Bonds D7BE issue in just 3 months down the post>0o#hran sanction period$ This was

    the difficult time when the international credit rating agencies had downgraded the country$

    SB+ time and again+ does a rescue act in the fore& mar#et to contain any volatility of the

    rupee$

    SB was formed under the SB !ct in 1C.. with the ta#eover of mperial Ban# and

    amalgamation of Ban# of Bengal+ Ban# of Bombay+ and Ban# of 9adras$ The government

    mopped up around C3F of the e%uity+ leaving F to private ownership$ By this act the

    e%uity of 7B cannot be diluted below ..F$

    SB enjoys a pool of best managerial talent+ assured government business+ a countrywide

    networ# of branches and strong brand credibility in the ndian mar#et$

    But+ that numero uno position is sliding with the entry of slee#er private and foreign ban#s

    major metros+ virtual ban#ing will soon ta#e>over from the bric#>mortar ban#s$

    0rivati)ation and redit disbursement:

    Tal#s about privati)ation of the ban#?s ownership have been initiated but the SB act of

    1C.. does not permit 7B?s ownership to be diluted to below ..F$ This act is outdated and

    needs to be re>addressed$ owever+ efforts have been initiated by SB to privati)e its non M

    ban#ing subsidiaries li#e SB aps+ SB 5ilts+ SB 'unds 9anagement+ where SB?s

    holding is about =.F of the e%uity$ But the pace has to be hastened so that investments thus

    released can migrate to more important areas li#e development of new technologies and

    products in customer service and service intensive areas$ 0rivati)ation also helps to

    professionali)e the ban#s? day>to>day operation+ which will allow the management more

    freedom in decision ma#ing during credit disbursement$

    To aid privati)ation and effect a better price reali)ation+ the ban# is attempting to change M

    over its accounting and reporting procedures to comply with 6S M 5!!0 norms$ This is a

    prere%uisite for trying out the !(7 route+ as it is #nown that 6S mar#et is by far the

    undisputed biggest mar#et and can offer the best price$ !t the moment+ the SB stoc# is

    undervalued at 7s$2,* whereas e&perts e&pect 7s$3** would be a more realistic value$

    !ction on this front at blit)#rieg pace is the need of the hour$

    9anpower 7etraining and not 7etrenchment:

    !s a hangover of the past socialistic mindset+ all the nationali)ed ban#s have e&cess

    wor#force$ This is indeed a hot potato for the management of many enterprises and is

    therefore being handled with #id gloves$ n ndia+ it is everyone?s worry to loo# at business

    as a source of employment+ while ma#ing money is secondary$ n this ocean of manpower+

    every institution does have its share of highly s#illed and talented manpower+ which

    contribute to asset building$ t is the semi s#illed manpower having outdated s#ills+ which

    form the e&cess baggage$ !ll ban#s must invest in re>training the manpower so that they can

    !t the same time+ one should also ta#e note of the flight of talent from these nationali)ed

    ban#s to newly set>up private and foreign ban#s$ !nd+ it is these new ban#s? top officials

    after migrating from the government ban#s are targeting at the top corporate clients and thus

    poaching into the corporate business+ which has been the mainstay of the nationali)ed ban#s$

    This will soon become a problem of serious proportion unless the ban#s initiate steps to

    stem the flow$ t is difficult+ to e&clusively address the problem of e&cess manpower by

    schemes such as voluntary retrenchment scheme D-7SE because while attempting to remove

    dead wood+ talent also ta#es an e&it$ 9any industries have faced this problem$ !lso it will be

    over simplicity to state that the salaries should be raised because that will only start a wage

    war$ nstead+ the ban#s should involve the services of international consultants speciali)ed in

    this field and ta#e a holistic view of the problem$ 7etraining and 7ationali)ation of

    manpower commands higher priority over 7etrenchment of manpower$

    /ew 0roducts and /ew technologies:

    -ANKING IN THE NEW MILLENI%M

    The ban#ing environment has suddenly become %uite challenging after the sub prime crisis

    that surfaced last year and which has resulted in an unprecedented global li%uidity crunch$

    The flattening of the world has dramatically impacted both the dynamics and the pace of

    global ban#ing business$ 9ergers+ ac%uisitions+ consolidation+ e&pansion+ diversification of

    lines of business+ shifting customer orientation and the changing regulatory environment are

    building up the pressure for ban#s to e&plore new possibilities by abandoning the familiar and

    embracing the unconventional$ ompetition is compelling ban#s to be agile and innovate

    everyday$ n this milieu+ what really enables ban#s to build a lasting competitive advantage is

    the ability to continuously innovate+ achieve differentiation and respond %uic#ly to dynamicbusiness challenges$

    The ban#ing sector has witnessed wide ranging changes under the influence of the financial

    Sector reforms initiated during 2**=$ The approach to such reforms in ndia has been one of

    gradual and non>disruptive progress through a consultative process$ The emphasis has been

    on deregulation and opening up the ban#ing sector to mar#et forces$ The 7eserve Ban# has

    been consistently wor#ing towards the establishment of an enabling regulatory framewor#

    with prompt and effective supervision as well as the development of technological and

    institutional infrastructure$ 0ersistent efforts have been made towards adoption of

    service %uality companies must

    #now what their customers want and need$ Because of factors that are uni%ue to

    services+ companies face difficulties while delivering service %uality: intangibility+

    heterogeneity+ inseparability and perishability$

    Because services are intangible they can

    not be felt+ smelled

    or tasted which ma#es it hard for customers to evaluate the service %uality$

    'urthermore+ services are not possible to store for later use+ they are consumed

    immediately$ Therefore

    companies need to offer other visible indicators where customers could evaluate the

    delivered service %uality$ Services heterogeneity means that services are not produced

    by single unit and then distributed to customers$ This means that the %uality of services

    varies depending on who provides them as well as when+ where and how services are

    provided$

    ere the focus is on the employee and the way in which the service is delivered and

    perceived by the customer will depend on the employee$ Services are perishable which

    means that they are consumed when they are provided and can not be stored$ Service

    has many definitions+ one definition has been chosen that describe it in summary: A

    service issomething that can be bought and sold, but which you cannot drop on your

    foot.

    Both managers and academic researchers have in recent years given a great deal

    of interest in measurement of customer satisfaction and perceived service %uality$

    Spreng et al D1CCAE discuss the difference between customer satisfaction and perceivedservice %uality and suggest that these are not the same and that companies need to ta#e

    both into consideration$ This because companies need to #now whether they should

    focus on having satisfied customers or to deliver the ma&imum service %uality$

    0erceived service %uality is according to 0arasuraman et al Ia global judgment of, or,

    attitude relating to the superiority of the serviceJ

    and this definition can be found in

    other service literature$ The definition of the customer satisfaction has not the same

    clear definition but Spreng et al use the definition Ian evaluative, affective or emotional

    response$J

    GA)S ANAL&SIS

    The #nowledge of how to measure service %uality is of great importance for the

    companies if they want to succeed on the today?s competitive mar#et$ The

    measurement of perceived service %uality derives from the 5ap analysis+ which was

    originally conducted during the end of the 1C=*?s$ The 5ap analysis was developed to

    help managers analy)e the sources for %uality problems but also to help them in

    understanding how to improve the service %uality$ The first gap in the analyses is due

    to the lac# of managers understandings about the perceived service %uality$ t states

    that managers have incorrect understanding of what their customers want and need+ e$g$

    because of wrong information from customers surveys$ The second gap is about service

    characteristics not complying with management understanding and customers?

    e&pectations$ This may arise due to lac#ing communication inside the organi)ation and

    lac# of clear organi)ational goals$ t is due to the fact that the specific %uality is not

    fulfilled during the production and deliverance of the service$ This gap usually occurs

    when the employee and customer interact$ t occurs because employees are not ready to

    deliver the good service %uality or that the %uality characteristics are not agreed upon

    within the organi)ational culture$ The fourth gap deals with problems within themar#eting communication$ Therefore it is important to always give customers

    appropriate and correct information$

    The analysis simply describes how the gap

    between e&pected and perceived service %uality arise from these four gaps while the

    difference between the delivered and perceived service by customers is the fifth gap$

    The goal for companies should be to minimi)e all the gaps as much as possible$ The

    bigger the first four gaps are+ the bigger the fifth gap will be$ This means that the

    perceived service %uality will be low and companies could fail in delivering high

    service %uality$ Because of the 5ap analyses 0arasuraman et al designed S7-Q6!;+
