COMPANY PROFILE
About - HDFC Bank Limited, India
The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was

amongst the

first to receive an 'in-principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to
set up a bank in the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalization of the Indian
Banking Industry in 1994. The bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of
'HDFC Bank Limited', with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank
commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.
Capital Structure
The authorised capital of HDFC Bank is Rs.450 crore (Rs.45 billion). The paid-up capital
is Rs.282 crore (Rs.28.2 billion). The HDFC Group holds 24.2% of the bank's equity while
about 13.1% of the equity is held by the depository in respect of the bank's issue of
American Depository Shares (ADS/ADR Issue). The Indian Private Equity Fund,
Mauritius (IPEF) and Indocean Financial Holdings Ltd., Mauritius (IFHL) (both funds
advised by J P Morgan Partners, formerly Chase Capital Partners) together hold about
5.5% of the bank's equity. Roughly 27.5% of the equity is held by FIIs, NRIs/OCBs while
the balance is widely held by about 214,000 shareholders. The shares are listed on The

investment banking on the wholesale side and transactional / branch banking on the retail
10

side. The bank has three key business areas :-

a) Wholesale Banking Services


The Bank's target market is primarily large, blue-chip manufacturing companies in the
Indian corporate sector and to a lesser extent, emerging mid-sized corporates. For these
corporates, the Bank provides a wide range of commercial and transactional banking
services, including working capital finance, trade services, transactional services, cash
management, etc. The bank is also a leading provider of structured solutions which
combine cash management services with vendor and distributor finance for facilitating
superior supply chain management for its corporate customers. Based on its superior
product delivery / service levels and strong customer orientation, the Bank has made
significant inroads into the banking consortia of a number of leading Indian corporates
including multinationals, companies from the domestic business houses and prime Public

his/her banking requirements. The products are backed by world-class service and

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem.
It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we
study the various steps that are generally adopted by the researcher in studying his research
problem along with logic behind them . it is necessary for the researcher to know not only
the research methods/techniques but also the methodology used. Researchers not only need
to know how to develop certain indices or tests , how to calculate mean or median or

13

mode, how to apply particular research techniques but must also know which of these
methods or techniques are relevant and what would they mean and indicate and why.
Research process consists of series of actions or steps necessary to effectively
carry out the research.
RESEARCH DESIGN:
The function of research design is to provide for collection of relevant evidence with
minimal expenditure of time effort and money. I followed the census method as I did daily
route riding along with the executives and the salesmen. I got opportunity to meet and
interact with each one of the customers. and closely came to know specific need of the
promotion of product of hdfc bank in the market as a whole. I covered the distribution area
under KHURJA region..
Under the supervision I got number of relevant data from on spot inspection and personal
observation.
