INTRODUCTION

1.1 ABOUT THE BROAD AREA OF THE TOPIC CHOSEN
With 96 percent of U.S. families owning bank credit cards, another 60-plus percent holding store credit
cards, and debit and prepaid instruments floating about, there's no doubt that the credit card services
sector is one of the economy's top drivers. The main player, Visa USA, accounts for about 59 percent of
the market in terms of number of cards, and 55 percent in regards to transaction dollars, which is $3.8
trillion (2007) in Visa's case. (The company's market dominance is even a bit higher for Visa Europe.)
Its next closest competitor, MasterCard Worldwide, commands approximately 34 percent of the field in
both categories, and American Express controls only 9 percent of the credit card landscape, dollar-
wise. Discover is smaller still, and JCB, Diners Club and store credit service providers define just a tiny
micro-economic environment.
A financial background is appreciated for those entering the industry, but likely not mandatory -- a
significant percentage of credit card services employees work in customer service, global processing,
admin or business support areas. Many of these workers are selected from college recruitment trips or
otherwise arrive straight from university. Systems and technology workers are also in demand, and a
limited number of strategy, marketing and product development experts steer a company toward
success.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics expected the number of positions for customer service reps to grow by
about 25 percent between 2006 and 2016, and the number of computer systems designers and similar
related workers (some of whom work on credit card system security and operability) will jump by 38
percent by 2016. But the industry’s health depends largely on how much consumers are able to spend,
and due to the recent economic downturn, everyone's struggled. Nonetheless, both Visa and
9|Page
MasterCard showed gains in revenue and income for the last quarter of 2008, and neither has
announced large-scale layoffs for 2009.
1.2 ABOUT THE SPECIFIC AREA OF THE TOPIC CHOSEN
China and India are the two most populous countries, with 1.34 and 1.18 billion people, respectively.
Although the populations are similar in size, last year the Chinese spent nearly $24 billion on credit
cards, which is 12 times more than the $2 billion spent in India. However this difference is rather
insignificant at such an early stage, since both figures still only represent a trivial fraction of each
country’s economy.
In order to gauge where India is heading we must consider the following factors:
Past Growth Rate: According to the Indian research firm RNCOS, the country saw a CAGR of around
40% between FY 2006 and FY 2009 for credit cards.
Short Term Future Growth: The aforementioned firm predicts a CAGR of 20% between FY 2011 and
FY 2013. According to their press release “…the payment card market is highly untapped and is
still at its nascent stage due to a very low level of penetration in terms of payment card
usage.”
Long Term Future Growth: The biggest obstacle facing long term growth will be infrastructure.
According to the RBI, approximately 40% of citizens still do not have a bank account. Increased
adaption of banking will be a key component in how quickly card usage is adapted. Furthermore,
businesses will need to have greater ability and the willingness to incorporate debit/credit card
processing. Lastly – and most importantly – society must also be willing to adapt the transition from
paper to plastic.
10 | P a g e
Government Participation: One factor we can be relatively confident in is that the government has
and will continue to be supportive of the card industry. The RBI has proposed launching domestic
payment card and a POS network for card payments.
How I believe credit cards will be different from those in the United States
Nowadays, just about every credit card in the U.S. offers cash back, points, or some other form of
rewards on purchases… but it wasn’t always that way. During the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, rewards were
almost non-existent and most credit cards even charged an annual fee. It wasn’t until the American
market started approaching full saturation that we saw cash back credit cards, travel rewards credit
cards, and other “gimmicks” offered by banks to try and stand out from the competition. In summary,
these extra perks would probably not be offered if the market wasn’t so competitive. For that reason, I
do not believe we will see Indian credit cards offering widespread rewards for many years (the market
first must become much more saturated).
There is also the possibility that we may never see such lucrative credit card rewards programs in India.
Why? Because there are only two reasons it’s possible for banks to give 1% to 5% cash back on
American credit cards:
(1) Credit card companies charge merchants processing fees, which average 2% and higher. These
fees help cover the costs of the rewards. Many countries crack down on these fees and limit the
amount merchants can be charged. For example, the Royal Bank of Australia capped these fees at only
0.5% in 2003. If India were to also drastically cut the fees, rewards would be far less likely.
(2) In the United States, the savings rate is very low. Since the recession it is historically “high” at 6%,
but usually it is even less than that. Compare this to a country like India, where the savings rate is
around 30%. Because Americans have so little money saved, many do not pay their credit account in
full each month or they use credit cards for balance transfers… both of these forms of borrowing
involve paying interest payments and/or transfer fees. That, in turn, also helps to offset the banks
expense of offering rewards. However in a country like India where savings is high, I expect the
population will generally be less likely to use this expensive type of borrowing. Therefore, it may not be
profitable for banks to offer cash back credit cards and the like.

1.3 ABOUT THE TOPIC
The demand for credit cards is growing over time. The total number of credit cards in the
system is at around the 25 million mark. This number was on 31st march 2009 stood at around
11 million while debit cards were at more than 20 million The distribution has increased with
local banks becoming more aggressive. However, duplication of users is a concern for the
industry which can exaggerate the number of active users. Since the business is largely
concentrated in the metro cities, the average user holds 2 to 3 cards. This research has been
carried out to understand the card industry that includes the types of providers, types of cards,
features of cards, acceptability of the card among the Indian consumer. It also involves finding
consumer's perception towards different providers. Questionnaire has been used. People from
different age groups, occupation and income level were selected for the study. A comparison
of various card providers has been made through graphical representation on a list of
parameters, like credit period, credit limit, penalty charges, provided, security of money, cost
involved and number of ATM's. The inferences were drawn for two banks ICICI Bank and
State Bank of India. The above research concluded that that public bank like SBI scores on
factors like low cost, penalty charges and long credit periods but a bank like ICICI is being
considered as costly, but definitely provides better and efficient service in terms of additional
features and benefits.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE & RESEARCH

2.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
EBSCO
WILL THE CREDIT CARD MARKET BE REVIVED IN THE NEAR FUTURE?
* The CARD Act of 2009: introduced some useful regulatory reforms, to reduce or
eliminate some of the worst credit card practices (Choo, 2010). However, coming long
after the abusive banking industry practices began, the act demonstrates crisis
management, rather than proactive public sector leadership in preventing abuses.
The CARD Act reduces but does not eliminate most abuses. It does not prevent card
issuers from dramatically raising interest rates, substantially reducing credit lines,
cancelling rewards programs, or doubling minimum monthly payments. In addition,
passage of the law a year before it took full-effect, gave the banks plenty of time to
make any prohibited changes prior to the implementation of the new regulatory
constraints.
* Recent financial reform legislation: In the name of protecting consumers and

reducing systemic risk, new financial regulators and new government financial
regulations are likely to further depress market supply in the credit card market.
Definition: A bank-issued card that allows people to purchase goods or services from a
merchant on credit
When you accept credit cards, you make it easy for your customers to buy from you because you're
offering convenience and the chance for the customer to buy on "float." Yet the money isn't coming out
of your pocket--quite.
A kitchenware store in Atlanta might take a Visa card purchase from a customer who lives in Milwaukee
and has a credit card that was issued by a bank in that city. The sales slip is deposited along with the
other receipts in the store's bank account.
14 | P a g e
The Atlanta bank credits the amount of the sale less a handling fee, generally 4 to 7 percent. Assuming
the sale was $20 and the handling fee is 5 percent, the Atlanta storeowner actually receives only $19.
The loss of the one dollar is built into the store's pricing and profit structure and passed along to the
customer.
Then the Atlanta bank transfers the debt to the customer's Milwaukee bank, which stands behind the
debt and transfers the necessary funds to the Atlanta bank. The Milwaukee bank then bills the customer
for the $20, plus interest if payment isn't received by a certain date. The bottom line is that the
storeowner in Atlanta offered credit without much risk, the Milwaukee customer received the
merchandise, and the banks in both cities made money.
Since the credit card companies are shouldering the risks in granting credit, they expect merchants to
help them cut their losses. Both Visa and MasterCard publish regular lists of card numbers that are
unacceptable for some reason, and they send them out to merchants and expect you to look at this list
before granting credit.
American Express, Discover and Diner's Club are also credit cards you may decide to accept. They
differ considerably from bankcards because their credit requirements are generally higher. Most
bankcards grant credit if a person has a job, a permanent residence, and no questionable information in
a computer credit file.
These so-called "entertainment cards" generally have a higher credit ceiling. Bankcards will put a credit
line to a customer's account and hold the person to that limit. Entertainment cards are geared to the
more affluent consumer with lots of discretionary dollars to spend.
The final difference is that entertainment card companies expect to be paid in full each month, while the
bank cards give the customer two options: Pay the balance in full or pay a minimum of 3 percent of the
total balance plus interest monthly. With high rates of interest, banks profit handsomely if cardholders
don't pay off their entire credit card bill at once.
If you haven't already been approached by one of the major credit card representatives, approach
them. Their sales associates work on commission and are happy to pitch the advantages of the various
programs.
Offering a credit card program eliminates the time you waste handling credit sales. When you consider
that certain costs of credit are fixed (posting accounts, billing and so on) and will cost you the same for
a $10 sale as for a $500 sale, this argument also makes sense.
15 | P a g e
A marketing benefit that helps your advertising sales is the automatic mailing list the credit-card sales
slip provides you with. You can (if you ask customers to fill in their name and address) have a day-by-
day record of that customer's purchases and use your mailing list to promote future sales by mail.
Another benefit the sales personnel will tout is the security of credit card sales. You will (if you follow the
credit card company's guidelines) be able to collect your money even if the cardholder skips town. The
credit card operation assumes the risk and pursues collection, which helps you spend your time more
profitably running your business.
2.2 Statement of the Problem

This particular topic is selected because Consumer Perception is a very important element
necessary for the smooth functioning of an organization Consumer surveys provide a channel for
employees to communicate their views on a wide range of issues in total confidence .They help
management to build up an accurate picture of how consumers perceive the organization and
highlight the causes of consumers dissatisfaction.
2.3 Scope of the study
The survey was conducted on Operative Level of IndusInd Bank. The questionnaire for this survey
was framed considering those factors where corrective action can be taken. From the result of the
survey the Marketing department can take the corrective action to increase customer satisfaction and
thereby increase productivity.
2.4 Objective of the Study

The following are the objectives and purpose of the study-
The main emphasis is on the consumer perception about the credit cards.
To ascertain the Consumer Perception about the credit cards with respect to price, product and
advertising.
To find the Uses of credit cards with the special reference in Bangalore.
To study the perception of people for credit cards in Bangalore.
To determine the target market for credit cards.
To identify the ways to increase the market share of IndusInd Bank.
2.5 Purpose of the Study
The study has been conducted for gaining practical knowledge about Marketing practices and
fulfillment of MBA (BU).

2.6 Research Methodology
RESEARCH DESIGN
“A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis data in
a manner to combine relevance to the researcher purpose with economy in procedure”
The Research Design undertaken for the study is Descriptive one. A study, which
wants to portray the characteristics of a group or individuals or situation, is known as
Descriptive study. It is mostly qualitative in nature. The main objective of Descriptive study is to
acquire knowledge.
SOURCE OF DATA
Data are the raw materials in which marketing research works. The task of data collection
begins after research problem has been identified and research design is chalked out. Data
collected are classified into primary and secondary data.
 Primary data
In this study, the primary data is collected in form of questionnaire and through interviews with
the Consumer.
 Secondary data
Secondary data were collected from the company’s website, annual publications,
memorandums of settlements, newspapers, and journals and from books.
2.7 SAMPLING METHODOLOGY
Research work was conducted by taking a sample of 100 consumers. The sample was
randomly selected from each Customer. To study the perception of consumer, questionnaire
was prepared and survey.
17 | P a g e
2.8 DESCRIPTION OF STATISTICAL TOOLS USED
Percentage Analysis
In this project Percentage Analysis method test was used. The percentage method is
used to know the accurate percentages of the data we got, it is easy to graph out through the
percentages.
2.9 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

As I was asked to carry on my vocational training I found the following limitations
during my training period. So I could not collect all information regarding my topic.
Shortage of time factor was one of the biggest constraints.

Study is confined to INDUSIND Bank only.
Most stress was given on the primary data as it was difficult to collect secondary data
from the organization and distribution since it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity of
their statements.
All the observation and recommendation was made on the feedback obtained from
survey.
There can be some biasness in the information provided by the Banks.

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE
19 | P a g e
3.1 INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
Credit Card Industry: A Background
The new era of plastic currency seems to be here to stay with the rapidly growing mobile middle class.
In India, people are being drawn to this new plastic money culture. A credit card has blessed &
facilitated the middle class with the power to chase and often purchase their dreams, which are
generally beyond their means. Plastic money refers to the substitution of the currency at the time when
the transaction of buy & sell is taking place, by usage of a card, normally made of hard plastic
representing such substitution. One of the main reasons for this kind of substitution is the
postponement of payment i.e. currency.
A credit card can be viewed as a payment tool which enables the card holder to purchase goods or
services without parting with immediate cash & make one-time payment at the end of a specified period
(known as the billing cycle, which is usually a month) with a provision for spreading this payment over
several easy installments. In this way, it enables the cardholder to postpone their payment by usage of
card availing credit from the issuer of the card, say a Bank or Non-Banking Finance Companies
(NBFC). Thus, credit card is essentially a “Pay Later Mechanism”. Thus, the credit card system serves
two objectives. The first one is to facilitate credit purchases and offering the privilege of paying later,
and the second is to avoid the necessity of carrying currency with its inherent risk and inconvenience by
providing the cards which are very easy to hold and carry.
Growth in India :
In India, the credit card culture was formally introduced almost 25 years ago. Since 1982, the Indian
credit card market witnessed a rapid growth with an increasing number of banks offering credit card
facility. The wave of credit cards entry set the banking industry – a vital sector of a society – into a new
motion with ample scope of getting new accounts and more deposits from other clients. Further
development took place as more establishments were willing to accept them in place of cash, and more
consumers found the concept to be a convenient mode of making payments with no need to carry cash.
In India, the credit card business boomed in the 1990s.The number of credit cards in circulation has
increased from 76 lakh in 2003, to over 1.55 crore by March 31, 2005. The total expenditure through
credit cards went up to Rs 20,555 crore during 2004-05.
The no. of credit card holders is increasing day by day. State Bank of India (SBI) Cards & Payment
Services Ltd., the only non-banking finance company (NBFC) issuing credit cards in India, now has 3
million cardholders to its credit. While the credit card industry is growing at 35% in India, SBI Cards is
20 | P a g e
growing at 70% annually. Recently, it overtook Citibank and became the second largest credit card
issuer, led by ICICI Bank that has over 5million cards in the market. SBI Cards, a joint venture between
SBI and GE Money, has nearly $100million under its portfolio per month. The company offers other
benefits such as “city-affinity” on its cards for use in the metros. The credit card market in India,
according to American Express, is growing at 20-25 per cent per annum. From half-a-million
cardholders in 1992, the population is at a whopping nine million today. Also, the total billings on cards
are estimated at over Rs 10,000 crore, growing at 20 per cent per annum.
According to the HSBC Credit Card Launch Case study done by Katy Merchant, The credit card market
in India is about 3 million with a value turnover of around Rs.2500 crore. The market is expected to
grow by 30% p.a. This would still be a very low penetration of a potential market of 60 million
cardholders. The credit card business is a low-margin, high volume business. Thus, given the low
income per card and the high initial investments by the bank, large volumes in terms of cards issued
and the transactions financed are required to make the operations profitable.
According to Visa Internationals latest data, average Indian cardholder uses his card 9.3 times,
spending about Rs.14, 700 per year. A number of card owners do not use their cards and almost 20 –
30 % cards are inactive (less than one usage every quarter).
With the rapidly increasing consumer needs, the credit card industry has a lot of potential. Banks from
the public sector as well as private sector are coming forward & are competing with the well established
foreign players in this industry. In a country of 11million card holders, where plastic money constitutes
only 1% of the total personal consumption, there is surely more to come. Along this line only, the
issuers of credit cards have begun to offer much more than just credit to their customers like music
system, executive diaries, subscription to business magazines & journals, etc. Customers are getting
additional benefits with the use of affinity credit cards. Affinity Cards are issued by the sponsor banks
especially for a particular section of people who take pride in the vocation or alma mater making them
periodically donate some amount to improve the cause they love. Some of the banks are:
American Express Nectar - earn extra Nectar points
Virgin Credit Card - spend reward points on goodies in the Members Shop
Breakthrough Breast Cancer - a very worthy charity's affinity credit card
Manchester Utd FC - using this affinity credit card could win you an exclusive prize
Examining the credit card as an augmented product reveals that it does not provide just the facility of
revolving credit but it enables the consumer to enjoy supplementary services in the form of additional
21 | P a g e
benefits like the facility of add-on cards, free accident insurance coverage for self as well as for spouse,
and others. The flexibility to pay a small amount every month at every purchase and pay the balance
later with some interest added has given the cardholder the freedom to spend and not worry about
money. To cope with the increasing competition & to survive in the credit card industry, many Indian
banks have started offering additional facilities to their credit card holders such as free personal
accident insurance, cash withdrawal facility, temporary increase in credit lines, add-on facility for
dependents who are majors, leveraged investment facility, etc. The additional features’ being offered is
changing the credit card in to a new avatar, called the convenient card.
The Indian credit card market is not even yet near saturation. There is still more to come in credit card
market.
Credit Card Industry in Asia: A Comparison
Plastic society is spreading rapidly not only in India but in other Asian countries also. In South East
Asia, over the last two decades, the increase in the use of credit cards as a transactional medium is a
notable change in consumer financial services. Credit card as a payment instrument device has
become an attractive & propitious proposition to consumers. They now serve as a payment instrument
in lieu of cash for many routine purchases, widely used and accepted, offer a revolving credit line
without the need for collateral & also provides convenient access to other banking services.
Touching on its credit card circulation, Bank Islam is expecting the number of its credit card holders to
increase to 450,000 by June next year from 250,000 currently. (According to MD, Zukri, 17 May,
2007).The bank currently holds 1.5 percent market share of the credit card market.
Consumers in emerging markets have discovered the credit card - with a vengeance. In China, where
credit cards were unknown not long ago, plastic transactions have hit a staggering US$200 billion per
year. In terms of number of transactions, the Chinese market is only fourth-largest, while Brazil and
South Korea record much higher card usage. However, examining the value of transactions as opposed
to the number of transactions, China is undoubtedly the largest, with more than $200 billion, while
Brazil comes third, with $74 billion spent on credit cards. According to a report China, Brazil, Chile,
India and Thailand as set to become the hottest markets for card issuance. Malaysia, China and India
have witnessed the most interesting recent developments as regards infrastructure.
To increase the subscriber base, recently, Citibank & Air Asia tied the knot in Malaysia & launched their
co-branded Citibank Air Asia credit card which enables the customer to earn free flights through a
rewards programme when they shop at over 25 million outlets worldwide. With every Ringgit (Malaysian
currency) spent with their Citibank Air Asia credit card for any purchase, cardholders will earn an Air
22 | P a g e
Asia point. They will also be able to enjoy special privileges such as access to low fare seats during
sales exclusive to Citibank Air Asia cardholders as well as minimum 24 hours priority booking ahead of
the general public.
With adequate risk management & regulatory controls credit cards business can be profitable. Unlike
corporate loans where margins can be razor thin and a single big bad loan can cripple the unfortunate
lender, banks are able to charge 18% per annum on credit card debt, way above the rates they charge
for other types of consumer lending. High fixed overhead expenses imply that card issuers need to
issue a large volume of cards to hopefully creditworthy heavy card users to maintain profitable
operations. Though a card loan amount is usually relatively small, credit card loans earn the credit card
issuer about three-quarters of its revenue in the form of interest earnings. The balance comes from
interchange fees charged on the merchant.
However, in their bid to boost market share in the face of intense competition, credit card-issuing banks
are increasingly making easy the availability of credit, possibly to ever-riskier customers. This increases
the risk that some borrowers will become over extended, especially during periods of financial stress. In
addition, increased competition can often lead to account management practices that increase the risk
profile of the credit card portfolio.
Issues and challenges to the Credit Card Industry:
Implications:
Credit card industry is growing at a very fast pace everywhere. But in their race they are forgetting that
they are giving rise to defaults & manipulations all together. Credit card has changed the consumer
behavior extensively. Nowadays credit card has become a fashion orientation symbol. People are now
more towards impulsive buying than being frugal. They are buying blindly, things which are of no use to
them & also beyond their paying capacity just because of the fact that with credit cards they can delay
their payments.
The bad practices & increased cases of cloning of credit cards are on a rise as people want to defer
their payments & sometimes want to evade them. People are using credit cards more as a borrowing
tool than a payment mechanism. This sudden rush in borrowing has prompted concerns that consumer
debt may spiral out of control, especially in China, Thailand and South Korea. In South Korea,
household debt grew 20.3 percent in 2001. In Thailand, the National Economic and Social Development
Board have warned that the rapid growth in consumer lending, particularly through the use of credit
cards, could jeopardize the country's future economic stability.
23 | P a g e
Credit-card fraud is a problem that exclusively concerns emerging card markets. According to a report,
the no. of consumers tend to use credit card beyond their paying ability is increasing. With over 100
million credit cards issued to the public around the end of 2002 (Kim 2002), consumer bankruptcies
have erupted in recent years and there are grave concerns that the number will significantly increase as
credit card debts mount up and distress more consumers financially. Deregulation by emerging-markets
governments and simplification of the credit-card application process have resulted in consumers taking
advantage of the new lines of credit open to them, borrowing up to their full credit.
One of the other challenges credit card issuers face is generating a sufficient volume of profitable
accounts while, at the same time, being selective in granting accounts and credit lines to maintain an
acceptable level of credit risk. The issuing bank manages these risks by issuing cards only to those
with a risk profile it is comfortable with and then setting reasonable account limits. Banks are more likely
to issue credit cards to relatively high-income individuals as there is greater likelihood that they will
promptly repay their debts and have low default rates, besides having greater prospects of extensive
card use.
In a bid to lure customers, credit card companies have started unethical practices, in the absence of
any regulatory framework. Most credit card-issuing banks, in violation of the spirit of basic banking
principles, have been sending unsolicited cards to customers. Many customers are billed for cards lost
in transit and unauthorized used by someone else. Moreover, propriety demands that additional cards
be issued only on the request of customers and not otherwise. Many credit card issuers levy charges
without seeking the consent of customers. For instance, Citibank, the largest issuer of credit cards in
India, has been unilaterally levying a host of charges like Suraksha Credit Shield Premia, transaction
Handling Charge and Suraksha Personal Accident Premia
Credit Card Industry in India: The Role of RBI.
The card users’ privacy has been violated by poor orientation of the marketing agents, the Direct selling
Agents(DSAs) and Direct marketing agents(DMAs) engaged by the card issuers. In their tele-marketing
attempts, the marketing agents make repeated and untimely telephonic calls to prospects as well as
clients. The card users are also harassed by the recovery agents and this has led to mounting customer
complaints.Card users are also concerned about their privacy being breached since many times
personal contact numbers are passed on to third parties by some unscrupulous elements with the
institutions and their agents.
24 | P a g e
The existing regulatory mechanism has been found wanting and inadequate to ensure proper
administration of card business, especially that of Credit Cards. This led to the current scenario of
harassment of card users, their rising number of complaints and grievances, necessitating the Reserve
Bank of India to intervene. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has thus issued guidelines for credit card
operations in the country. These are aimed at disciplining & monitoring the credit card market which has
been growing at 50% per annum. Henceforth, credit card issuers will have to adhere to these norms
which, among other things, deal with issuance of additional cards, printing of annual interest rates,
enhancement of credit limits, collection of debts, etc. There are more than 1.55 crore credit cards
issued in the country, with many people having more than one credit card.
In legal terminology, a customer is a principal and the bank is his agent. It means that the bank acts on
behalf, and at the behest of the customer. The RBI is trying to restore this basic banking principle
through the new norms. To achieve this, the RBI constituted a working group on Regulatory Mechanism
for Cards. The guidelines are based on this group’s recommendations. The RBI guidelines refrain
banks from issuing unsolicited credit cards. Banks have also been barred from unilaterally upgrading
credit cards and enhancing credit limits. They will also have to set up a ‘Do Not Call Registry’ (DNCR)
and abstain from calling/ sending SMSs to customers not wishing to receive marketing calls.
As per the RBI norms in place, credit card issuers will not be able to levy any charge not explicitly
indicated to the credit card holder at the time of issuing the card. This norm, however, will not cover
charges like service tax, or other levies imposed by the government. Also, credit card issuers will be
required to print ‘Most Important Terms and Conditions’ (MITCs) in Ariel-12 font so that a customer is at
least able to read them.
At present, credit card issuers quote monthly interest rates, without explaining the method of
computation of interest charges on revolving credit. Now, the RBI has made it mandatory for credit card
issuers to quote annualised percentage rates (APR). This will help customers who are more familiar
with annual rates. For instance, Citibank has been levying a monthly service charge, which may go up
to 3.35% of the outstanding balance. This may not mean much to a customer unfamiliar with the
dynamics of monthly interest rates. However, if told that Citibank is levying an interest rate which is as
high as 40%, a customer would think twice before making use of revolving credit facilities. Credit card
companies will also have to provide the method of calculating the APR (separately for retail purchases
and cash advances) with a couple of examples for better comprehension by customers.
RBI norms make it clear that card issuers will be fully responsible for all acts of omission or commission
by their agents. This includes sales, marketing and recovery agents. The intervention of RBI has
25 | P a g e
certainly helped the customer and made him aware of the rules and regulations to be followed by the
banks.
Conclusion: The plastic currency has opened up a pandora’s box in the form of Credit Cards that adds
to the ease & convenience of transaction settlements at the point of sale to the customers. There were
co-branded Credit Cards with major airlines, star-hotel chains, star travel-houses etc. These marriages
of convenience and alliances among the major players of the economy are evident as an on-going
feature in the service sector. Plastic Cards have evolved as the most sophisticated and savvy product
for corporate integration, tie-ups, alliances and multi-branding of products. This offers enhanced scope
for horizontal as well as vertical growth.
Apart from providing a number of advantages & benefits, it has also a flip side for the unwary card user.
Ignorance of various terms and conditions of Credit Card agreement, especially the financial/cost
implications of credit and irrational use of it can be detrimental to the interests of the customers. This
growth has also increased the chances of fraud in this industry. Still, instances of frauds can be
minimized by being more alert while using Credit Cards, especially, on the internet. Switching on to
Smart Cards and Photo Cards are a definite plus.
