INTRODUCTION

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 liberalisation 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.

• PROMOTER

HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an impeccable track
record in India as well as in international markets. Since its inception in 1977, the
Corporation has maintained a consistent and healthy growth in its operations to
remain the market leader in mortgages. Its outstanding loan portfolio covers well
over a million dwelling units. HDFC has developed significant expertise in retail
mortgage loans to different market segments and also has a large corporate client
base for its housing related credit facilities. With its experience in the financial
markets, a strong market reputation, large shareholder base and unique consumer
franchise, HDFC was ideally positioned to promote a bank in the Indian environment.

• BUSINESS FOCUS

HDFC Bank's mission is to be a World-Class Indian Bank. The objective is to build

sound customer franchises across distinct businesses so as to be the preferred
provider of banking services for target retail and wholesale customer segments, and
to achieve healthy growth in profitability, consistent with the bank's risk appetite. The
bank is committed to maintain the highest level of ethical standards, professional
integrity, corporate governance and regulatory compliance. HDFC Bank's business
philosophy is based on four core values - Operational Excellence, Customer Focus,
Product Leadership and People.

• CAPITAL STRUCTURE

The authorized capital of HDFC Bank is Rs550 crore (Rs5.5 billion). The paid-up
capital is Rs424.6 crore (Rs.4.2 billion). The HDFC Group holds 19.4% of the bank's
equity and about 17.6% of the equity is held by the ADS Depository (in respect of the
bank's American Depository Shares (ADS) Issue). Roughly 28% of the equity is held
by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and the bank has about 570,000
shareholders. The shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, Mumbai and the
5
National Stock Exchange. The bank's American Depository Shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol 'HDB'.

TIMES BANK AMALGAMATION

In a milestone transaction in the Indian banking industry, Times Bank Limited

(another new private sector bank promoted by Bennett, Coleman & Co./Times
Group) was merged with HDFC Bank Ltd., effective February 26, 2000. As per the
scheme of amalgamation approved by the shareholders of both banks and the
Reserve Bank of India, shareholders of Times Bank received 1 share of HDFC Bank
for every 5.75 shares of Times Bank. The acquisition added significant value to
HDFC Bank in terms of increased branch network, expanded geographic reach,
enhanced customer base, skilled manpower and the opportunity to cross-sell and
leverage alternative delivery channels.

• DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

HDFC Bank is headquartered in Mumbai. The Bank at present has an enviable

network of over 1229 branches spread over 444 cities across India. All branches are
linked on an online real-time basis. Customers in over 120 locations are also
serviced through Telephone Banking. The Bank's expansion plans take into account
the need to have a presence in all major industrial and commercial centers where its
corporate customers are located as well as the need to build a strong retail customer
base for both deposits and loan products. Being a clearing/settlement bank to
various leading stock exchanges, the Bank has branches in the centers where the
NSE/BSE has a strong and active member base.
The Bank also has a network of about over 2526 networked ATMs across these
cities. Moreover, HDFC Bank's ATM network can be accessed by all domestic and
international Visa/MasterCard, Visa Electron/Maestro, Plus/Cirrus and American
Express Credit/Charge cardholders.

• MANAGEMENT

Mr. Jagdish Capoor took over as the bank's Chairman in July 2001. Prior to this, Mr.
Capoor was a Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.
The Managing Director, Mr. Aditya Puri, has been a professional banker for over 25
years and before joining HDFC Bank in 1994 was heading Citibank's operations in
Malaysia.
The Bank's Board of Directors is composed of eminent individuals with a wealth of
experience in public policy, administration, industry and commercial banking. Senior
executives representing HDFC are also on the Board.

6
Senior banking professionals with substantial experience in India and abroad head
various businesses and functions and report to the Managing Director. Given the
professional expertise of the management team and the overall focus on recruiting
and retaining the best talent in the industry, the bank believes that its people are a
significant competitive strength.

• TECHNOLOGY

HDFC Bank operates in a highly automated environment in terms of information

technology and communication systems. All the bank's branches have online
connectivity, which enables the bank to offer speedy funds transfer facilities to its
customers. Multi-branch access is also provided to retail customers through the
branch network and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs).

technology available internationally, to build the infrastructure for a world class bank.

JOB ROTATION

Job rotation is an approach to management development where an individual is

moved through a schedule of assignments designed to give him or her a breadth of
exposure to the entire operation.

Job rotation is also practiced to allow qualified employees to gain more insights into
the processes of a company, and to reduce boredom and increase job satisfaction
through job variation.

At the senior management levels, job rotation - frequently referred to as

management rotation, is tightly linked with succession planning - developing a pool
of people capable of stepping into an existing job. Here the goal is to provide
learning experiences which facilitate changes in thinking and perspective equivalent
to the "horizon" of the level of the succession planning.

Importance of job rotation

Job rotation is the surest way of keeping the employee away from complacency
and boredom of routine. It is difficult for an employee to sustain his interest in a
given job for any substantial length of time as humans have the tendency of
outgrowing their jobs through the learning and experience that they gain over a
period of time. Stimulating human mind through diversity of challenges is a sure
way to bring to forefront its creative instincts and in taking the individual and
organizational performance to a higher plane. This is where job rotation can prove
to be a handy tool.

Potential of job rotation

A well planned job rotation programme in an organization has immense potential of

positive impact on job satisfaction, engagement of people and finally on retention of

11
people. Few of the outcomes of job rotation with respect to the individual are:

• Job enrichment
• Overall development
• Intrinsic motivation to perform caused by newer challenges
• Career development

Where as for an organization, the benefits could include some or all of the following:

• Leadership development
• Aligning competencies with organizational requirements
• Lower attrition rates
• Performance improvement driven by unique view points of new people

Job Rotation in HDFC Bank

In Hdfc bnk all employees are involved in the job rotation schedule. In HDFC Bank th
staff gets rotated in every 6 months and the officers get rotated in every 3 years.

The flexibility consideration is given to those employees who have physical difficulty,
for such employee there is no job rotation eg: Deaf & dumb, or physically
handicapped.

Job Rotation in Indian Overseas Bank

In IOB all the employees involved in the job rotation schedule, the staff, clerks &
officers. The staff and clerks have internal rotation and officers get rotation to other
branches.

As per the Bank staff rule the staff gets rotated in every 6 months and the officers get
rotated in every three years. The flexibility consideration is given to those employees
who have physical difficulty, for such employee there is no job rotation eg: Deaf &
dumb, or physically handicapped.

The employees involved in the rotation schedule for other individual to their talent
and to avoid malpractices and frauds. Meetings are held to know the employee which
firther position he will take place to determine interest and gain involvement.
According to the employee performance & response towards his job on that basis the
jobs are rotated.

Job rotation In RBI

In RBI the job rotation is mainly concerned with the officers. The officers in RBI get
their job rotated in every year. For such job rotation the employees who are going to
get rotated meetings are hed so that the officers get to know their future roles.

12
Job transfer

In business organizations employees are shifted from one post to another, from one
department to another etc. This is called as job transfer of employees. Such transfers
are quite common in case banks, govt, department, manufacturing units etc.

A transfer is defined as “a change in job whre the new job is substantially

equal to the old in term of pay, status, responsibilities”

Transfer of employee do create some resentment from the concerned employees.

This is natural as transfer may create certain personal and family problems. In
addition, an employee has to adjust with new situation. Finally it may be pointed out
the transfer is neither promotion or demotion but merely a horizontal and lateral
movement of an employee from one job to another.

Reasons for job transfer

1. Variation in volume of work

2. Providing training to employee
3. Rectification of poor placement
4. Satisfied the personal need of employee
5. Meeting mutual need of employee
6. Meeting organizational needs
7. Solution to poor performance
8. Avoid fatigue and monotony
9. Removing poor personal relations
10. Providing relief and o punish employees

Principles of Sound Transfer policy

Company management must frame a policy on transfers and apply it to all transfer
instead of treating each transfer on its own merits. Such a policy must be based on
the following principles of transfers:

1. Necessary Transfer: Transfer should be only done when required. The basis of
transfer should be decided properly and should be cleared to all the
employees.
2. Responsibility of transfers: Responsibility of initiating and approving transfer
should be clearly defined and properly located. The authority to handle
transfer should be decided clearly. The best course is to centralize the
authority handling transfers and make the personnel/HR department
responsible for all transfers

13
 3. Fair transfer: Transfer should not be made as a punishment or as a revenge
on an employee or simply to trouble an employee and his family members.
4. Consideration of employees: Transfer should be done after taking concerned
employee into confidence and also after explaining how transfer is in the best
interest of the organization and employee.
5. Interest of the Organization: Alll transfers should be made in the best interest
of the organization. In addition, there should be sound justification in the case
of all transfers made. The management shoul be able to prove its objectivity
and impartiality as regards transfer made
6. Sound Transfer Policy: Management should prepare a sound transfer policy
for a long period. It should be given wide publicity for the information of the
employees. The interest of organization should not be forgotten while framing
the policy of transfers.
7. Employees View: n employee should be given an opportunity to appeal to an
appropriate authority with full opportunity to an employee to express his views.
8. Request Transfer: Request transfer on the basis of illness or family problem
should be considered sympathetically and granted promptly.

Types of transfer.

Versatility Transfers: The objective of these transfers is to increase the versatility of

the employee by shifting it from one job to another. In this way, the employee is
provided a varied and broader job experience. This helps the employee through job
enrichment. It can also help him to get prepared for future promotions, besides, it
helps the organization also as enrichment of employee would make him not only
more effective but also ready for higher openings.

Jon Transfer In Bank Of Baroda.

In bank of baroda there is a different policy for clerks and officers, Clerks are
Transferred every 5 years from on branch to another branch, on the other hand
officers are transferred within the time span of every three years from one branch to

India.
