EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Private banking is a concept which is new and fast emerging in the world of banking where changes have become a necessity in order for banks to survive in this competitive environment vis--vis not only from the public and private sector banks but also from the foreign banks. The objective of the research is to explore the various products, which a private banker deals into and the systematic process involved to match client requirements with the right kind of product. Through this research one of the main objectives is to explore the reason why most of the banks are injecting private banking as business profile to their set of service offerings. Though private banking evolved in late 80s in Asia, in India its not more than 5 years old. ICICI started it in Aug 2002 and since then it has been a remarkable success. Today there are enormous solutions to cater client needs but what suits best to a client is where private banking fits in. Every client will have different needs, liking and preferences. So a customized portfolio for every client is the need of the day. This research will highlight more on the product portfolio of ICICI Private Banking, how they have changed or innovatively structured to be attractive and competitive.
Research objective

Here we more concerned about private sector banks and competition among them. Today, there are 27 private sector banks in the banking sector: 19 old private sector banks and 8 new private sector banks. These new banks have brought in state-of-the-art technology and aggressively marketed their products. The Public sector banks are facing a stiff competition from the new private sector banks. The banks which have been setup in the 1990s under the guidelines of the Narasimham Committee are referred to as NEW PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS. 7 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
INTRODUCTION The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the country to new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years. The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Indian Banks Association (IBA) and top 20 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN AMRO, etc. has been well defined under three separate heads with one page dedicated to each bank. However, in the introduction part of the entire banking cosmos, the past has been well explained under three different heads namely: History of Banking in India Nationalization of Banks in India Scheduled Commercial Banks in India The first deals with the history part since the dawn of banking system in India. Government took major step in the 1969 to put the banking sector into systems and it nationalized 14 private banks in the mentioned year. This has been elaborated in Nationalization Banks in India. The last but not the least explains about the scheduled and unscheduled banks in India. Section 42 (6) (a) of RBI Act 1934 lays down the condition of scheduled commercial banks. The descriptions along with a list of scheduled commercial banks are given on this page.
HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be able to meet new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors. For the past three decades India's banking system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact, Indian banking system h reached even to the remoteas corners of the country. This is one of the main reasons of India's growth process. The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks of India. Not long ago, an account holder had to wait for hours at the bank counters for getting a draft or for withdrawing his own money. Today, he has a choice. Gone are days when the most efficient bank transferred money from one branch to other in two days. Now it is simple as instant messaging or dial a pizza. Money have become the order of the day. The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct phases. They are as mentioned below: Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian banking sector Reforms. New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial & Banking Sector Reforms after 1991. To make this write-up more explanatory, I prefix the scenario as Phase I, Phase II and Phase III.
Phase I 9 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency Banks. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders. In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935. During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in India as the Central Banking Authority. During those days public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit mobilization was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders.
Phase II Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In 1955, it nationalized Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi-urban areas. It formed State Bank of India to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and State Governments all over the country. Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalized in 1960 on 19th July, 1969, major process of nationalization was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime
Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country was nationalized. Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India under Government ownership.
The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions in the Country: 1949: Enactment of Banking Regulation Act. 1955: Nationalization of State Bank of India. 1959: Nationalization of SBI subsidiaries. 1961: Insurance cover extended to deposits. 1969: Nationalization of 14 major banks. 1971: Creation of credit guarantee corporation. 1975: Creation of regional rural banks. 1980: Nationalization of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore. After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%. Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions. Phase III This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices. The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money. 11 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high, the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited foreign exchange exposure.
BANKS IN INDIA In India the banks are being segregated in different groups. Each group has their own benefits and limitations in operating in India. Each has their own dedicated target market. Few of them only work in rural sector while others in both rural as well as urban. Many even are only catering in cities. Some are of Indian origin and some are foreign players. All these details and many more is discussed over here. The banks and its relation with the customers, their mode of operation, the names of banks under different groups and other such useful informations are talked about. One more section has been taken note of is the upcoming foreign banks in India. The RBI has shown certain interest to involve more of foreign banks than the existing one recently. This step has paved a way for few more foreign banks to start business in India.

Retail Segment of ICICI Lombard General Insurance :

ICICI Lombard's Retail Segment consists of personal insurance products - Health, Home, Motor and Travel insurances. Health Insurance ICICI Lombard is known to be a pioneer in introducing innovative concepts in the Indian health Insurance sector. Be it the floater concept, the critical illness cover or the tax gain policy, all these were first introduced by ICICI Lombard. It was also one of the first general insurance companies in India to have a robust online system in place for buying and renewing policies. The various plans offered by ICICI Lombard include Family Floater Plan - where one policy covers the entire family, Health Advantage Plus - where they cover OPD and dental expenses, 50 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
also help save maximum tax under section 80D and Critical Illness plan - a special policy covering a list of critical illnesses. They also have a basic Personal Accident Plan which covers against accidents. ICICI Lombard health plans also provide coverage against terrorism. Home Insurance Home Insurance is actually one of the most neglected areas in the general insurance category. Simply, because people in general, especially in India, do not give much importance to it. However, in the recent years, due to the increase in awareness, and the great extent of damage caused to property due to natural calamities and terrorism, it has been gaining importance. The Home Insurance Policyoffered by ICICI Lombard covers both the structure and the contents of the house. You can opt for either of the covers or both. Unlike other policies, it also covers damage due to terrorist activities, loss of cash, public liability, temporary resettlement and others. Motor Insurance As Motor Insurance is mandatory in India and is governed by the Motor Tariff Act, the policies offered by various companies are more or less the same. There is not much room for innovation in this category. ICICI Lombard too offers Car Insurance and Two Wheeler Insurance. They are known to offer one of the best rates in the market. As the entire buying process is online and is instant, without any submission of documents or other formalities, people generally opt it for convenience. Travel Insurance Travel insurance is one of the most prominent sector of general insurance, especially overseas travel insurance and student medical insurance. ICICI Lombard offers various options in both the categories. The Overseas Travel Plans and Student Medical Plans offered cover medical and non-medical expenses, including compensation for flights hijacked and pre existing diseases in case of emergency. They charge on a per day basis if the travel is more than 7 days. ICICI Lombard has tied up with United Health Group to facilitate access to all its clinics while in U.S. The Student Medical Plans are accepted in almost universities worldwide. They also have a section in their website, University Search, where one can find specific plans for specific universities. All the above retail policies can be bought online, without any documentation through their website www.icicilombard.com .One can not only buy, but also manage and renew their insurance policies online. 51 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM

Opportunity Matrix
A Marketing opportunity is an area of interest in which a company can perform profitably. An opportunity can take many forms. Some of them are:
1) Buying process made easy- Internet shopping 2) Meet the information needs of the customers in a better way. 3) A company can customize the product which was originally offered in standard form.
The opportunities that fall under the first quadrant are higher on the side of success probability and also on the attractiveness, so the company should tap those opportunities as early as possible.
The opportunities falling under the second quadrant should be tapped only after the success of the opportunities in the first quadrant. Although the success probability is on the lower side still the attractiveness is on the higher side.
The opportunities in the third quadrant are less important as compared to the opportunities in the first and second quadrant. Although the attractiveness is on the lower side but the success probabilities of these opportunities are on the higher side. The opportunities in the fourth quadrant are negligible as the success probability and attractiveness both are on the lower side
Threat Matrix.
An Environmental Threat is a challenge posed by an unfavourable trend or development. In the absence of any defensive marketing action these threats may lead to deterioration in sales and indirectly in the profits of the company.
The Threats falling under the first quadrant are harmful to the progress of the firm. Their occurrence probability and also the seriousness is on the higher side. Therefore the company should take immediate actions against these threats. The Threats falling under the second quadrant are also very harmful as their seriousness of these threats is on the higher side, although the probability occurrence is on the lower side. The Threats coming under the third quadrant are less serious as compared to the threats in the first and second quadrant. The company should keep a backup plans for these threats as this can also affect the profitability of the company.
The Threats under the fourth quadrant are negligible as the probability occurrence and seriousness both are on the lower side of the matrix.
STRENGHTS
1) Online Services: ICICI Bank provides online services of all its banking facilities. It also provides D-Mart account facilities on-line, so a person can access his account from anywhere he is. [D-Mart is a dematerialized account opened by a salaried person sale of shares of different companies.] for purchase &
2) Advanced Infrastructure: Branches of ICICI Bank are well equipped with advanced technology to provide the customers with taster banking services. All the computerized machines are located in suitable manner & are very useful to the customers & staff of the bank.
3) Friendly Staff: The staff of ICICI Bank in all branches is very friendly & help the customers in all cases. They provide faster services along with bonding & personal relationship with the customers.
4) 12 hrs. Banking services: Compared to other bank ICICI bank provides long hrs. of services i.e. 8-8 services to the customers. This service is one of its kind & is very helpful for the customers who are in urgent need of money.
5) Other Facilities to the Customers & Employees: ICICI Bank also provides other facilities like drinking water facilities, proper sitting arrangements to the customers. And there are also proper Ventilation & sanitary facilities for the employees of the bank. 6) Late night ATM services: ICICI bank provides late night ATM services to the customers. The ATM centers of ICICI bank works even after 11:00pm. at night in certain branches.
Weakness
1) High Bank Service Charges: ICICI bank charges highly to customers for the services provided by them when compared to other bank & that is why it is only in the reach of higher class of society.
2) Less Credit Period: ICICI bank provides credit facilities but only upto limited period. Even when the credit period is not over it sends reminder letters to the customers which may annoy them.
OPPORTUNITIES
1) Bank Insurance services: The bank should also provide insurance services. That means the bank can have a tie-up with a insurance company. The bank will advertise & promote the different policies introduced by the insurance company & convince their customers to buy insurance policies.
2) Increase in percentage of Returns on increase: The bank should provide higher returns on deposits in comparison of the present situation. This will also upto large extent help the bank earn profits & popularity.
3) Recruit professionally guided students: Bank & Insurance is a special non-aid course where the students specialize in the functioning & services of the bank & also are knowledge about various tax policies. The bank can recruit these students through tie-ups with colleges. Such students will surely prove as an asset to the bank.
4) Associate with social cause: The bank can also associate itself with social causes like providing relief aid patients, funding towards natural calamities. But this falls in the 4th quadrant so the bank should neglect it.
THREATS
1) Competition: ICICI Bank is facing tight competition locally as well as internationally. Bank like CITI Bank, HSBC, ABM, Standered Chartered, HDFC also provide equivalent facilities like ICICI do and also ICICI do not have consistency in its international operation.
2) Net Services: ICICI Bank provides all kind of services on-line. There can be easy access to the e-mail ids of the customers through wrong people. The confidential information of the customers can be leaked easily through the e-mail ids.
3) Decentralized Management: Each branch manager is given the authority of taking decisions in their respective branches. The decisions made by different managers are diverse and any one wrong decision can laid to heavy losses to the bank.
4) No Proper Facilities to Uneducated customers: ICICI Bank provides all services through electronic computerized machines. This creates problems to the less educated people. threat falls in the 4th quadrant so its negligible. The company can avoid this But this threat.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection Techniques: This project consists of two parts. The first part is a study of the banking industry, ICICI Bank using secondary data sources. This secondary information has been sourced from the internet and from business related magazines and newspapers. The second part of the study has been done using an exploratory research process and a structured questionnaire was developed for this purpose. For the collection of primary data this was the only method used. The reason I used this method is because a need was felt for the free influx of information about the products. Also this method allowed the use of skills gained in class. Sample Design: The population considered for the purpose of the survey was people residing in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Sampling Technique Used: Since the information required was not of a very technical nature and also looking at the scope of the project and the extent of the target segment, the sampling technique employed was Convenience Sampling. I administered the questionnaires.
Sample Size: I have restricted the sample size to 50 respondents. This was done keeping in mind the time constraints and the fact that I felt that this number would be enough to serve the information needs required to show the trends.
Customer Satisfaction:
Customer satisfaction is equivalent to making sure that product and service performance meets customer expectations. It is the perception of the customer that the outcome of a business transaction is equal to or greater than his/her expectation. Customer satisfaction occurs when the acquisition of products and /or services provides a minimum negative departure from expectations when compared with other acquisitions and when the marginal utility of a transaction is equal to or greater than preceding acquisitions. Customer satisfaction occurs when the perception of the reward from the purchase of goods or services by the customer meets or exceeds his/her perceived sacrifice. The perception is a consequence of matching past purchase and consumption experience with the current purchase.
Customer Service and Satisfaction: When we talk about customer service and/or satisfaction, we talk about creativity. Creativity allows us to handle or diffuse problems at hand or later on rather in the process of conducting the everyday business. We talk about how, or what, does the organization have to do to gain not only the sale but also the loyalty of the customer. We want to know the payoff of the transaction both in the short and long term. We want to know what our customers Want? We want to know if our customers are satisfied. Satisfaction, Of course, means that what we delivered to a customer met the customers Approval. We want to know if customers are delighted and willing to come Back, and so on. Fleiss 2 and Feldman 3 present examples of that delightfulness in their writings. Fleiss has written about Ben and Jerrys ice cream and Feldman has discussed excellence in a cab ride. As important as delightfulness is, some of us minimize it, or even totally disregard it. At this point, we fail. Some of the issues that will guarantee failure in sales, satisfaction, and loyalty are:
Employees must adhere to a rigid chain of command Employees are closely supervised Conflictin whatever formis not allowed Rewards are based on carrot-and-stick principles 75 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
Wrong objectives are measure.
We must understand customer expectation levels concerning quality. We must also understand the strategy for customer service quality, and next we must understand the measurement and feedback cycles of Customer satisfaction. The customer is the person or unit receiving the output of a process on the system. In fact, it is worth emphasizing that a customer can be the immediate, intermediate, or ultimate customer. Also, a customer may be a person or persons, or a process or processes. Customer satisfaction, however, is when the customer is satisfied with a product/service that meets the customers needs, wants, and expectations. There are at least three levels of customer expectations about quality:
Level 1. Expectations are very simple and take the form of assumptions, must have, or take it for granted. For example, I expect the airline to be able to take off, fly to my destination, and land safely. I expect to get the correct blood for my blood transfusion and I expect the bank to deposit my money to my account and to keep a correct tally for me. Level 2. Expectations are a step higher than that of level 1 and they require some form of satisfaction through meeting the requirements and/or specifications. For example, I expect to be treated courteously by all airline personnel. I went to the hospital expecting to have my hernia repaired, to be in some pain after it was done, to be out on the same day, and to receive a correct bill. And I went to the bank expecting the bank teller to be friendly, informative, and helpful with my transactions. Level 3. Expectations are much higher than for levels 1 and 2. Level 3 requires some kind of delightfulness or a service that is so good that it attracts me to it. For example, an airline gives passengers traveling coach class the same superior food service that other airlines provide only for first-class passengers. In fact, I once took a flight where the flight attendants actually baked cookies for us right there on the plane. When I went to the hospital, I expected staff to treat me with respect and they carefully explained things to me. But I was surprised when they 76 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
called me at home the next day to find out how I was doing. And at my house closing, the bank officer, representing the bank holding my mortgage, not only treated me with respect and answered all my questions about my new mortgage, but just before we shook hands to close the deal, he gave me a housewarming gift.
Customer satisfaction surveys help to: Improve customer, client, or employee loyalty. React quickly to changes in the market. Identify and capitalize on opportunities. Beat the competition. Retain or gain market share. Increase revenue. Reduce costs.

COMPARISON OF ICICI WITH SBI
ICICI bank is the largest private sector bank in India and the second largest commercial bank in India. It has branches all over India and even in smaller towns in South India after the takeover of Bank of Madurai. The bank also has foreign subsidiaries like ICICI bank, Canada in Canada, Britain and Russia ,representative offices in USA, China, UAE, Bangladesh, South Africa and branches in Bahrain, Singapore . It offers a platform for online share trading through ICICI Direct and insurance services ICICI Prudential. NRI services include money transfer through Money2India, which offer better foreign exchange rates for lower amounts compared to other services. Like most private sector banks, all ICICI bank branches in India are networked. You can access your account from any ICICI bank branch in India. Anyone can also deposit cash/local cheque in your account at any branch of ICICI bank. Also they have very convenient bank timings and are open for 12 hours from 8.00 a.m to 8 p.m from Monday to Saturday. When you deposit a cheque at their branch, they will readily give you a stamped acknowledgement for deposit. You can only deposit cash in your own account at the ATM, for depositing cash into a third party account, you have to visit the branch. You have to select the deposit cash option, you will get an envelope for depositing cash, which you can then fill in the details and deposit it back. At locations where ICICI bank does not have a branch, the queue at the ATMs is very long. Just after office hours , between 6 pm - 7.30 pm, customers sometimes have to wait for 15-20 minutes on some days, to access the ATM. Since ICICI bank was established after 1991 it offers online banking where you can check the balance in your account any time. The interface for savings accounts is much better and user friendly compared to that for their roaming current account Page | 90 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
However, unlike other banks like HDFC bank, their online bank statement does not indicate the branch at which the amount is deposited. The information is available in the email statement sent to you the next day. You have to contact phone banking, enter CRN and TPIN, during working hours to get this information. Very often, the system is slow, so you have to hold on for 10 minutes. For savings account, up to 3 cash deposits per quarter (3 months) at the non base branch can be made at no cost. For additional cash deposits, the bank charges the recipient Rs 100 (+ service tax) per deposit, irrespective of the amount deposited. When the bank implemented this change, the ICICI bank customers were not informed about the revision in the charges. For outstation cheques, ICICI bank charges a minimum of Rs 30 (+ service tax) for savings accounts . This is very inconvenient for account holders in small towns, who receive the dividend warrant payable in major cities only. These warrants can be for small amounts like Rs 20. For salary accounts, the minimum AQB required is zero and you retain the account even after you leave the job. If your AQB is more than Rs 100000, you get a free at par chequebook. For an AQB of more than Rs 500000 (fixed deposit + savings account balance), you are eligible for private banking services. For non maintenance of average quarterly balance, not only do they deduct Rs 750 from your balance, they also deduct an additional service tax. Many of the ICICI bank customers are salary account holders, who are forced by their employers to open an account with ICICI bank to receive their salary. The account is opened at a branch which is convenient for the employer, but extremely inconvenient for the employee. If want any clarification or information, their customer support (through phone banking or email) will instruct you visit the nearest branch - where the concerned person may or may not be available. For savings account customers if you send an email asking for clarifications, it is usually answered after a week. They have discontinued the auto sweep-in facility (earlier called Quantum Optima), where the amount in savings accounts was automatically converted into a fixed deposit, if RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM Page | 91
it exceeded Rs 15000. With the decline in interest rates for loans, providing this facility is no longer profitable for the bank. You now have to give an application at the branch if you wish to continue with this facility now. The form for making the application was sent along with the monthly bank statement. You can alternately open a recurring deposit, where a fixed amount is added to your fixed deposit every month. Making a new Fixed Deposit with ICICI bank for current accounts is extremely time consuming, especially when compared to HDFC bank. They will insist that you withdraw cash from your account for making the FD. Since withdrawals of amounts more than Rs 25000 are subject to cash withdrawal tax, for larger amounts , you will have to split the fixed deposit and visit the branch on 2 different days. ICICI bank is probably the only bank in India where they will not accept a ICICI bank cheque for making a fixed deposit. We had given a cheque with the fixed deposit form , but the bank officer insisted that we pay cash. She said she would fill the form for us, but she did not select the options which were initially indicated, causing further problems for us.
(SBI) is the largest public sector bank in India SBI has branches and ATMs all over India, details of which are available at their website. State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Saurashtra, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur ,State Bank of Indore, State Bank of Mysore and State Bank of Travancore are the seven subsidary banks of SBI. As of March 2006, SBI holding in these banks varies from 74% to 100% , but is likely to decrease in future. SBI has one of the largest network of ATMs in the Asia Pacific region. Many branches of State Bank of India are computerized. In places where the Reserve Bank of India, (RBI) the central bank of India does have an office, SBI carries out many of its functions.
SBI timings vary according to location, for example the Powai, Mumbai branch of State Bank of India is open between 10.15 am to 2pm (Monday-Friday You can open a public provident fund (PPF) account at any State Bank of India branch. PPF accounts are one of the few savings instruments which offer a high tax free interest rate of 8% per year. All deposits made on or before 5th of a month earn interest for the entire month. If you deposit a cheque in your PPF account on the 5th of the month, you will get interest for the month, though your account may be debited at a later date. The interest is credited to the account at the end of the accounting year in India. If you know an agent who is registered with that particular branch of State Bank , he will pay you back, a part of the commission he receives from the bank. So you can get back 0.5% - 0.6% of the amount deposited immediately by cash. Usually larger the amount, the higher the commission paid back by the agent (it is negotiable) . The pay-in slip for PPF has 3 sections - depositors copy, agents copy and bank copy. The agents copy has to be given to the agent and he will give part of the commission. Earlier financial services firm like Blue-chip in Mumbai, would also give a commission of 0.25% , but they have stopped in the last 2 years. The minimum amount that can be invested in one year is Rs 500 and maximum amount is Rs 70000. This investment has a lock in period of 15 years. No withdrawals are allow till 6 years after account opening and one withdrawal is allowed per year there after. It offers rebate under section 80C and the interest is tax free under section 10C. For cash withdrawals, you can either use a withdrawal slip or cheque. If an account is inactive for a long time, State Bank of India does not charge any fee for reactivation. However, they have a verification process, which may take a long time. Payment of income tax, advance tax, sales tax can be done at SBI branches. Foreign currency drafts can also be obtained at the branches. Since SBI offers a variety of banking services, their branches are usually very crowded. Page | 93 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
State Bank of India has increase home loan interest rates by 25-75 basis points. Also no fixed rate loans will be available for periods more than 10 years. These changes have come into effect from March 1, 2006. SBI Railway Visa Card allows booking of railway tickets online at the Indian Railways website at zero transaction charges. Users of this credit card can get back up to 10% of ticket fare as railway points. These points can be redeemed later, like frequent flyer miles offered by airlines. State Bank of India is the largest issuer of debit cards (Maestro) in India State Bank customers who have to wait a long time to process a bank transaction can register their complaint through a touch screen device for customer feedback service at the branch. The information is recorded and processed in the central server. As of March 2006, it is implemented in 10 branches of SBI in Mumbai. When SBI employees go on strike, the Reserve Bank of India takes over all clearing operations. However, banking operations are affected since SBI has nearly 30% of the total customers of banks in India. Cheques/DD drawn on SBI was not cleared due to the strike. All government taxes like income tax, sales tax, service tax can be paid at any branch of SBI. State Bank of India has 52 foreign offices in 34 countries including Australia, UK, USA, Canada, Bahrain, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan Sri Lanka. These are useful for foreign trade transactions like opening of Letter of Credit

SUGGESTIONS
A. Best play in a buoyant environment - Favorable macro, buoyant Market - related revenues and a benign environment for asset quality. 1 ICICI -as a player focused on maintaining and /or improving Market share in key business segments, particularly retail lending- Will, in our view, benefit immensely form a positive operating Environment. 2. ICICI is viewed as it is benefited from the procyclicality effect of The economic cycle as its borrowers in the legacy project financing Activity witnessed their debt servicing ability increasing considerably. It is believed that the profitability of this segment has improved as a Result of lower loan loss provisions and lower taxable rates of Income from this source. Expectations is on the procyclical benefit ,To continue and hence profitability of legacy lending to be sustained At levels seen earlier.
3. Market related revenues is believed to contribute 14% - 15% to ICICIB's operating revenues and have boosted its preprovision RoAA. Buoyant environment to sustain the contribution from market -related revenues is expected and hence the operating profitability. 4. Pricing power in consumer financing segment profitability Against potential shocks. 5. ICICIB enjoys a dominant market position across customer Categories in retail lending.The strong market position and robust Demand for consumer financing vests significant pricing power With ICICIB is believed either by allowing a hike in lending rats, Negotiating higher subvention form manufacturers of cutting Distribution costs. 6. Strong pricing power and a balance sheet that is significantly Biased towards retail lending buffers ICICB's profitability from Potential shocks in the bank's funding cost. 7. ICICB has an adverse mismatch profile between assets and Liabilities. High volatility in interest rates could adversely effect Profitability in the short term; however, as the back book gets Reprised at new lending rates upon maturity, the bank's NIM will Likely show improvement. This phenomenon to play out through FY1002E and FY2009E is expected. 8. In line with consensus, but we recommend buy ICICIB for growth Reasons and not for the relative valuation appeal. It is not so much about ICICIB versus HSFC or HDFCB, but about Page | 98 RISHI CHAUHAN PGDM
Their respective operating metrics and growth conditions. Market Has rewarded both strategies: ICICIB's broad-based strategy allows capturing value across the Value chain in a customer segment; and ICICIB, like other large players in the private sector, enjoys Favorable conditions arising from a restrictive regulatory/policy Environment towards new entrants and foreign banks and slow Pace of reforms for state-owned banks is believed. B. Increasing contribution from strategic investments - Yet another driver 1. The value accruing from subsidiaries to be 17% of ICICIB's Current marke capitization. This to rise to 20% of ICICIB's target Price over the next 12 months is expected with banking and life Insurance being the key drivers. 2. The life insurance business of ICICIB has been incurring losses On an accounting basis due to continued investment in expznding The scale and scope of the business. The life insurance business is Believed in creating wealth for its shareholders through market Share gains, increasing penetration of life insurance and improving operating efficiency. 3.S The asset management and venture capital fund of ICICB makes A negligible contribution currently; however, these businesses is Believed to hold significant upside potential as they achieve scale Economies.
Conclusion
Thus, ICICI has been able to use technology to provide value-added service to its customers during the last few years. For ICICI, technology is an integral part of their business. However, their overall progress could have been smoother but for certain internal and extraneous factors and also a pressure on spreads due to a competitive market (Annual report, 2000 01). Ebanking has become a necessary survival weapon and is fundamentally changing the banking industry worldwide. To day, the click of the mouse offers customers banking services at a much lower cost and also empowers them with unprecedented freedom in choosing vendors for their financial service needs. No country today has a choice- whether to implement E-banking or not given the global and competitive nature of the economy. ICICI have toupgrade and constantly think of new innovative customized packages and services to remain competitive. The invasion of banking by technology has created an information age and commoditization of banking services. ICICI have come to realize that survival in the new e-economy depends on delivering some or all of their banking services on the Internet while continuing to support their traditional infrastructure. The rise of E-banking is redefining business relationships and the most successful banks will be those that can truly strengthen their relationship with their customers. Without any doubt, the international scope of E-banking provides new growth perspectives and Internet business is a catalyst for new technologies and new business processes.
