Bank and ICICI Bank) and seventh Indian company to cross the ₹ 5-trillion market
capitalization on the Indian stock exchanges for the first time. The largest public lender in the
country reached a milestone on February 7, 2024, when its market capitalization surpassed
₹6 lakh crore, making it the second public sector undertaking (PSU) to do so after Life

of India, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian subcontinent. The Bank of
Madras merged into the other two presidency banks in British India, the Bank of Calcutta and
the Bank of Bombay, to form the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn became the State
[22]
Bank of India in 1955. Overall, the bank has been formed through the merger and
acquisition of more than twenty banks over the course of its 200-year history. [23]
[24]
The Government of India took control of the Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with the
Reserve Bank of India (India‟s central bank) taking a 60% stake and renaming it the State
Bank of India.

housing, business, and personal expenses. Studying SBI loans helps individuals understand

financial commitment

CHAPTER – II
The working hours of the ERAL branch of STATE BANK OF INDIA are Monday to
Saturday from 10am to 4pm* while the 2nd and the 4th Saturdays generally remain non-
working days.
2.1.1 HISTORY
The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century when
the Bank of Calcutta (later renamed the Bank of Bengal) was established on 2 June 1806. The
Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay
(incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All
three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies and were the result of
royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency till 1861
when, with the Paper Currency Act, the right was taken over by the Government of India. The
Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the re-organised banking entity took
as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint-stock
company but without Government participation.
Under the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank of
India, which is India‟s central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial Bank of
India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of India. In 2008,
the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India‟s stake in SBI to remove any
conflict of interest because the RBI is the country‟s banking regulatory authority.
7
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This
made eight banks that had belonged to princely states into subsidiaries of SBI. This was at the
time of the First Five-Year Plan, which prioritised the development of rural India. The
government integrated these banks into the State Bank of India system to expand its rural
outreach. In 1963 SBI merged the State Bank of Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of Bikaner
(est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911),
which SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year SBI acquired the
National Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five years later, in 1975, SBI
acquired Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been established in 1916 in Gwalior State,
under the patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. The bank had been the Dukan Pichadi,
a small moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The new bank‟s first manager was Jall N.
Broacha. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI
was the acquirer as its affiliate, the State Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive
network in Kerala.
State Bank of India (SBI) a Fortune 500 company, is an Indian Multinational, Public
Sector Banking and Financial services statutory body headquartered in Mumbai. The rich
heritage and legacy of over 200 years, accredits SBI as the most trusted Bank by Indians
through generations.
SBI, the largest Indian Bank with 1/4th market share, serves over 48 crore customers
through its vast network of over 22,405 branches, 65,627 ATMs/ADWMs, 76,089 BC outlets,
with an undeterred focus on innovation, and customer centricity, which stems from the core
values of the Bank – Service, Transparency, Ethics, Politeness and Sustainability.
The Bank has successfully diversified businesses through its various subsidiaries i.e.
SBI General Insurance, SBI Life Insurance, SBI Mutual Fund, SBI Card, etc. It has spread its
presence globally and operates across time zones through 235 offices in 29 foreign countries.
8
Growing with times, SBI continues to redefine banking in India, as it aims to offer
responsible and sustainable Banking solutions.
2.2 Goals
One of the most common uses of loans is debt consolidation. If you have multiple
high-interest debts, such as credit card balances, personal loans can help you consolidate
them into a single, manageable loan. This simplifies your finances and reduces the total
interest you pay, making it easier to pay off your debts faster.
By using loans strategically, you can consolidate and pay off high-interest debts,
ultimately working toward a debt-free future. This can free up your finances for saving,
investing, and achieving long-term financial goals.
2.3 Vision
2.4 Mission
The mission of a loan is to facilitate access to financial resources for individuals and
businesses to empower them to achieve their objectives. This involves providing tailored
financial solutions, managing risk effectively, and fostering responsible lending practices to
support economic growth and development.

4.2 SUGGESTIONS
Customer awareness Programme is required so that more people should attract
towards Loan product.
If there are any kind of hidden charges than that must disclose to customer before
giving loan to them.
SBI must take some steps so that customers can get their loan in time. Like phone
verification by customer care that one customer is got their loan on time or not It must
be before a certain date so necessary steps can be taken.
SBI should more concern about physical verification rather than phone verification so
it will avoid fraud or cheating.
Loan product selling agents must not give any type of wrong information regarding
Loan product.
For the better service new offers would be require.
SBI customer care should more concern about the fastest settlement of customer
problems.
Before deducting or charging any monetary charge SBI must consult with customer.
Agents should be trained, well educated & proper trained to convince the people
about different advance product.
It is the duty of the bank to disclose all the material facts regarding Loan product, like
interest charged, repayment period, other types of charges, etc.
Special scheme should be implemented to encourage both customer and agents
55

period of time the achievement made by SBI is excellent at ERAL, what a normal bank
cannot expect, but it is being done by SBI. It happens due to employee dedication towards the
