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.

INDIAN BANKING INDUSTRIES

The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with

Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. An expanding

economy, middle class, and technological innovations are all

contributing to this growth.

The country’s middle class accounts for over 320 million people.

In correlation with the growth of the economy, rising income levels,

increased standard of living, and affordability of banking products

are promising factors for continued expansion.

 7

The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution,

Focusing on the expansion of retail and rural banking.

Players are becoming increasingly customer - centric in their

approach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new

banking products and services. Banks are now realizing the

importance of being a big player and are beginning to focus their

attention on mergers and acquisitions to take advantage of

economies of scale and/or comply with Basel II regulation.

“Indian banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by

2010 and are poised to receive a greater infusion of foreign capital,”

says Prathima Rajan, analyst in Celent's banking group and author of

the report. “The banking industry should focus on having a small

number of large players that can compete globally rather than having

a large number of fragmented players."

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR WORLD

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.

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

 10

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.

HDFC Bank began operations in 1995 with a simple mission : to be a

“ World Class Indian Bank.” We realized that only a single minded

focus on product quality and service excellence would help us get

there. Today, we are proud to say that we are well on our way

towards that goal.

In the HDFC BANK each department has their different color coding

apply on the different file. Due to this everyone aware about their

particular color file which is coding on it and they save their valuable

time. It is a part of Kaizen and also included in the system of the Five

‘S’. Logic behind it that , the color coding are always differentiate the
 29

things from the similar one.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Bank’s staffing needs continued to increase during the year

particularly in the retail banking businesses in line with the business

growth. Total number of employees increased from 14878 as of

March31,2006 to 21477 as of March 31, 2007. The Bank continues to

focus on training its employees on a continuing basis, both on the job

and through training programs conducted by internal and external

faculty.

The Bank has consistently believed that broader employee ownership

of its shares has a positive impact on its performance and employee

motivation. The Bank’s employee stock option scheme so far covers

around 9000 employees.

 30

RUPEE EARNED - RUPEE SPENT

It is more important for every organization to know about from where

and where to spent money. And balanced between these two things

rupee earned and rupee spent are required for smooth running of

business and financial soundness. This type of watch can control

and eliminate the unnecessary spending of business. In this diagram

it include both things from where Bank earned Rupee and where to

spent.
 31

HDFC BANK earned from the ‘Interest from Advances’ 51.14 % ,

‘Interest from Investment’ 27.12 %, bank earned commission

exchange and brokerage of 15.25 %. These are the major earning

sources of the bank. Bank also earned from the Forex and

Derivatives and some other Interest Income.

Bank spent 39.75 % on Interest Expense, 30.27 % on Operating

Expense and 14.58 % on Provision. Bank also spent Dividend and

Tax on dividend, Loss on Investment , Tax.

As we discuss above that balancing is must between these two for

every organization especially in the era of globalization where there

are stiff competition among various market players.

Detailed Analysis:

i. Strength - Opportunity Analysis.

Strength:

It is well know that ICICI Bank has the largest Authorised Capital

Base in the Banking System in India i.e. having a total capacity to

raise Rs. 19,000,000,000 (Non – Premium Value).

Opportunity:

Seeing the present financial & economic development of Indian

Economy and also the tremendous growth of the Indian

Companies including the acquisition spree followed by them,

it clearly states the expanding market for finance requirements

and also the growth in surplus disposal income of Indian citizens

has given a huge rise in savings deposits – from the above point it

is clear that there is a huge market expansion possible in banking

 44

sector in India.

Strategy:

From the analysis of Strength & Opportunity the simple and

straight possible strategy for ICICI Bank could be - to penetrate

into the rural sector of India for expanding its market share as well

low operations cost though having huge number of branches and

services provided.

Threat:

After showing a significant growth overall, India is able to attract

many international financial & banking institutes, which are known

for their state of art working and keeping low operation costs.

Strategy:

To ensure that ICICI Bank keeps going on with low operation cost

& have continuous business it should simply promote itself well &

provide quality service so as to ensure customer loyalty, therefore

guaranteeing continuous business.

Very low in Indian banking sector, though ICICI Bank has better

responsible staff but it still lacks behind its counterparts like HSBC,

HDFC BANK, CITI BANK, YES BANK etc.

Opportunity:

In the present world, India is preferred one of the best places for

out – sourcing of business process works and many more.

Strategy:

As international companies are reaping huge benefits after out-

sourcing there customer care & BPO’s, this same strategy should

be implemented by ICICI Bank so as to have proper customer

banks like CITI Bank, YES Bank etc which posses an external

entrant threat to ICICI Bank – as this Banks are known for their art

of working and maintain high standards of customer service.

After having new entrants threat, ICICI Bank should come up with

PROJECT ON PLASTIC MONEY

PLASTIC MONEY
 48

I give the project on Plastic Money to bank. The objective behind this

project is to increase the rich customers list in a bank. Plastic Money

title itself says the use of Credit Card and Debit Card in day to day

transaction of the business. I prepared the presentation on it and

submitted to bank and Bank already started work on this project.

Idea behind this project is to sale the bulk product. Target customer

Of this project are two parties one is Wholesaler and second is

Retailer. Due to this idea bank also sell their swipe machine to

wholesaler and create brand image in the market.

The idea behind this, bank give the credit card swipe machine to

wholesalers and retailers use the credit card of the bank. Bank gives

the 50 days credit to their credit card holders. So here retailers can

get benefit of long credit period and on the other side wholesalers can

get the benefit of same day payment. As a result bank got the wide

list of customers of wholesalers and retailers.
