Banking System in India

What is a Bank?

The essential function of a bank is to provide services related to the storing of deposits and the extending of credit. The evolution of banking dates back to the earliest writing, and continues in the present where a bank is a financial institution that provides banking and other financial services.

History of Banking in India

Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be able to meet new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors.

For the past three decades India's banking system has several outstanding achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact, Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the main reason of India's growth process.

The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks of India.

Not long ago, an account holder had to wait for hours at the bank counters for getting a draft or for withdrawing his own money. Today, he has a choice. Gone are days when the most efficient bank transferred money from one branch to other in two days. Now it is simple as instant messaging or dial a pizza. Money have become the order of the day.

The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till today, the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct phases. They are as mentioned below:Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian banking sector Reforms. New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial & Banking Sector Reforms after 1991. To make this write-up more explanatory, I prefix the scenario as Phase I, Phase II and Phase III.

Phase I

The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and Bengal Bank. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay (1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency

8

Banks. These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established which started as private shareholders banks, mostly Europeans shareholders.

In 1865 Allahabad Bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab National Bank Ltd. was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913, Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, and Bank of Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.

During the first phase the growth was very slow and banks also experienced periodic failures between 1913 and 1948. There were approximately 1100 banks, mostly small. To streamline the functioning and activities of commercial banks, the Government of India came up with The Banking Companies Act, 1949 which was later changed to Banking Regulation Act 1949 as per amending Act of 1965 (Act No. 23 of 1965). Reserve Bank of India was vested with extensive powers for the supervision of banking in india as the Central Banking Authority.

During those days public has lesser confidence in the banks. As an aftermath deposit mobilization was slow. Abreast of it the savings bank facility provided by the Postal department was comparatively safer. Moreover, funds were largely given to traders.

Phase II

Government took major steps in this Indian Banking Sector Reform after independence. In 1955, it nationalised Imperial Bank of India with extensive banking facilities on a large scale specially in rural and semi-urban areas. It After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers formed State Bank of India to act as the principal agent of RBI and to handle banking transactions of the Union and state governments all over the country.

Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalized in 1960 on 19th July, 1969, major process of nationalization was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country were nationalized.

Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India under Government ownership.

The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking Institutions in the Country:1949 : Enactment of Banking Regulation Act. 1955 : Nationalisation of State Bank of India. 1959 : Nationalisation of SBI subsidiaries. 1961 : Insurance cover extended to deposits. 1969 : Nationalisation of 14 major banks. 1971 : Creation of credit guarantee corporation.

9

1975 : Creation of regional rural banks. 1980 : Nationalisation of seven banks with deposits over 200 crore. After the nationalisation of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.

Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.

Phase III

This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by his name which worked for the liberalisation of banking practices.

The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money.

The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high, the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have limited foreign exchange exposure.

Nationalisation

The next significant milestone in Indian Banking happened in the late 1960s when the then Indira Gandhi government nationalizd, on 19th July, 1969, 14 major commercial Indian banks, followed by nationalization of 6 more commercial Indian banks in 1980. The stated reason for the nationalisation was more control of credit delivery. After this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a leisurely pace of around 4%-also called as the Hindu growth of the Indian economy.After the amalgamation of New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank, currently there are 19 nationalised banks in India:

-Allahabad Bank -Andhra Bank -Bank of Baroda -Bank of India -Bank of Maharashtra -Canara Bank -Central Bank of India -Corporation Bank -Dena Bank -Indian Bank

10

-Indian Overseas Bank -Oriental Bank of Commerce -Punjab & Sind Bank -Punjab National Bank -Syndicate Bank -Union Bank of India Liberalisation

In the early 1990s the then Narasimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalisation and gave licences to a small number of private banks, which came to be known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks like ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, kickstarted the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks. However there had been a few hiccups for these new banks with many either being taken over like Global Trust Bank while others like Centurion Bank have found the going tough.The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%.

Current scenario

Currently (2005), overall, banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets-as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility-without any stated exchange rate-and this has mostly been true.With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-especially in its services sector, the demand for banking services-especially retail banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. M&As, takeovers, asset sales and much more action (as it is unravelling in China) will happen on this front in India.Recently (March 2006), the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would need to be vetted by them.Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000

11

ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

SBI group

State Bank of India, with its seven associate banks command the largest banking resources in India. SBI and its associate banks are:-State Bank of India -State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur -State Bank of Hyderabad -State Bank of Indore -State Bank of Mysore -State Bank of Patiala -State Bank of Saurashtra -State Bank of Travancore

12

The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.

Private Sector Banks In India

Private banking in India was practiced since the begining of banking system in India. The first private bank in India to be set up in Private Sector Banks in India was IndusInd Bank. It is one of the fastest growing Bank Private Sector Banks in India. IDBI ranks the tength largest development bank in the world as Private Banks in India and has promoted a world class institutions in India.

The first Private Bank in India to receive an in principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India was Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited, to set up a bank in the private sector banks in India as part of the RBI's liberalisation of the Indian Banking Industry. It was incorporated in August 1994 as HDFC Bank Limited with registered office in Mumbai and commenced operations as Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.

ING Vysya, yet another Private Bank of India was incorporated in the year 1930. Bangalore has a pride of place for having the first branch inception in the year 1934. With successive years of patronage and constantly setting new standards in banking, ING Vysya Bank has many credits to its account.

ICICI BANK

ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of about Rs. 2,513.89 bn (US$ 56.3 bn) at March 31, 2006 and profit after tax of Rs. 25.40 bn (US$ 569 mn) for the year ended March 31, 2006 (Rs. 20.05 bn (US$ 449 mn) for the year ended March 31, 2005). ICICI Bank has a network of about 614 branches and extension counters and over 2,200 ATMs. ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and through its specialised subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of investment banking, life and non-life insurance, venture capital and asset management. ICICI Bank set up its international banking group in fiscal 2002 to cater to the cross border needs of clients and leverage on its domestic banking strengths to offer products internationally. ICICI Bank currently has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Russia and Canada, branches in Singapore, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Dubai International Finance Centre and representative offices in the United States, United Arab Emirates, China, South Africa and Bangladesh. Our UK subsidiary has established a branch in Belgium. ICICI Bank is the most valuable bank in India in terms of market capitalisation. ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE. After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast

15

talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single entity. ICICI Bank is also India's foremost technology bank. ICICI Bank uses IT as a strategic tool in all the business operations, so as to gain a competitive advantage.ICICI Bank was the first Indian company and the first financial entity in Asia (ex-Japan) to list on the New York Stock Exchange.

History of ICICI Bank

The World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry form ICICI Limited as a development finance institution to provide medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses in 1955. 1994 ICICI establishes ICICI Bank as a subsidiary. 1999 ICICI becomes the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to list on the NYSE. 2001 ICICI acquired Bank of Madura (est. 1943). Bank of Madura was a Chettiar bank, and had acquired Chettinad Mercantile Bank (est. 1933) and Illanji Bank (established 1904) in the 1960s. 2002 The Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approve the merger of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. After receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, ICICI integrates the group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, into a single.

About ICICI Bank

ICICI Bank is arguably the most aggressive bank in the country and can rightfully claim credit for the spread of retail financing in the country. Formed by the reverse merger of former ICICI with its banking subsidiary, the bank has been highly focused on expanding its retail portfolio which it believes would be the major growth driver in future.The bank had to overcome several legacy issues after the merger with ICICI. The erstwhile financial institution had stockpile of bad loans in its books, a result of liberal financing to large industrial projects like steel units in the '90s. To its credit, the bank has successfully cleaned its balance sheet and net bad loans as a percentage of advances have gone down significantly.Besides the well established corporate banking division, ICICI Bank has the largest market share among all banks in retail or consumer financing. Its growth rate in home loans exceeds more established HDFC and its total home loan portfolio would go past HDFC in a few years at current growth rates. The bank is expanding rapidly in overseas markets. It has operations in the UK, Hong Kong and Canada. It acquired a small bank in Russia recently. It has tie-ups with major banks in the US and China. The bank is aggressively targeting the NRI population for expanding its business. It already offers money transfer facilities to India from most major countries across the globe.For the overseas markets, ICICI has a unique strategy.

Importance of CRM in Banking

"Banking,” declares bank of Punjab chairman Mr. Darshanjeet Singh "is not different from selling coke”. The seismic shift witnessed last year was driven by just one pervasive goal of reaching out to the customer.The last decade has seen many changes taking place in the structure of banking and also in the way the Banking sector has opened up. Deregulation and entry of new players are changing the Banking scene.To say that the future belongs to a particular group, Private Banks or Foreign Banks or Public sector Banks is not correct. the future belongs to the player who keeps in touch with the time, who moves along with the time and is able to respond to the emerging needs of the customers.Today Banking is changing we are seeing technology being introduced in the sector. A greater amount of dis-intermediation is taking place in the higher segment of the corporate sector and there is a need for providing better quality customer service. The market is becoming more & more buyer dominated. In Banking, the final result as to who will actually be able to woo customers will depend on their ability to react and respond to the customer requirement. The customer is going to be the real decider of fate of Banks.

THE OLD CONCEPT v/s THE NEW CONCEPT OF CRM IN BANKING

THE OLD CONCEPT:

THE BACK OFFICE (FINANCE, HR, ADMINISTRATION) THE FRONT OFFICE (SALES, MARKETING)THE CUSTOMER

According to this concept, the back office did not link the customer. Customer was seen with only with the front office that is sales and marketing.

THE NEW CONCEPT:

THE BACK OFFICE

                                                THE FRONT OFFICE            THE CUSTOMER         THE BACK OFFICE                                               

                                       THE BACK OFFICE

In this concept customer is the center of all the activities. She can know about whole

29

organizational activities. The new concept of CRM treats the customer as the uncrowned king of the business.

This is considered to be crucial for retaining customers since the success of any firm or organization is determined by it's ability to track customer dissatisfaction, so that suitable correction could happen in the product or process to present complaints. The circuit is completed thus for an effective & rounded of solutions for addressing business issue in a comprehensive way.

The Need For CRMThe life long customer has never been such valuable. People are demanding much for less and responding to their needs is a constant challenge.

When we are not certain about present day customers , how can we be sure of getting customers five years down the line, next year ,next month, or for that matter even tomorrow.

The old way of marketing and advertising are in deep trouble, it may not work any more. It costs five times more to find a customer then to retain her. Therefore it is wise enough to retain her.

Firms of late have realized that service to a customer does not stop by delivering a good product on time, with a good price. Leaving them in darkness with the risk of responsive competitor providing timely information & service and snatching away the customer from their holds, forced organization to look for a concept will enable them to achieve customer's delight.

Instead of looking at the internal process the orientation came to look outside the business and more towards the customers.

Customer suddenly become the heart of the whole organization , and organizations started releasing that the entire business evolves around the customer. It is the customer centric approach, which is supposed to be the nucleus of CRM. The Banks want to be a major retail consumer Banks in India. The part of retail Banking goes not only with Credit Card but Debit Cards and Smart Cards as well.The Customer can get a bunch of additional services with co-branded cards, which have tie-ups with petroleum CO’s, airlines, hospital chains.Banks have introduced Debit Cards self-explanatory card that caters very well to the tastes of credit averse Indians. The banks are providing all products under one roof and that includes the retail staff as well.

30

HDFC Bank, ICICI, UTI Bank and HSBC, Citi are wooing corporate to open salary accounts. The minimum balance required for these accounts is zero and hence customer base of these Banks is exponentially increasing.ATM network, which provides visibility and convenience and hence helps in increase customer acquisition, is set near railway station, petrol pump, shopping complexes etc.Internet Banking is available to the customer at his desktop, while the branches may be 2 to 3 kms. Away.

Some banks have already ventured to maintain relationship with online banking through Internet. The latest trend in banking strategy is clicks&bricks in which customer can debit or credit accounts, check balances and even trade on it. car loans is other area in which banks are developing relationship with the customer. The ideal model of maintainining relationship with the customer focuses on the customer service issues. Banks are providing customers with the highest quality services with special emphasis on recognizing customer needs and cross selling (expanding relationship with existing clients to increase range of services delivered to the clients) appropriate bank services.In a nutshell the customer has become the fulcrum of all Banking activities.

How can CRM help Banks

CRM primarily caters to all interactions with the customers or potential customers, across multiple touch points including the Internet, bank branch, call center, field organization and other distribution channels.

CRM can help banks in following ways:

Campaign Management - Banks need to identify customers, tailor products and services to meet their needs and sell these products to them. CRM achieves this through Campaign Management by analyzing data from banks internal applications or by importing data from external applications to evaluate customer profitability and designing comprehensive customer profiles in terms of individual lifestyle preferences, income levels and other related criteria. Based on these profiles, banks can identify the most lucrative customers and customer segments, and execute targeted, personalized multi-channel marketing campaigns to reach these customers and maximize the lifetime value of those relationships.

Customer Information Consolidation - Instead of customer information being stored in product centric silos, (for e.g. separate databases of savings account & credit card customers), with CRM the information is stored in a customer centric manner covering all the products of the bank. CRM integrates various channels to deliver a host of services to customers, while aiding the functioning of the bank.

Marketing Encyclopedia - Central repository for products, pricing and competitive information, as well as internal training material, sales presentations, proposal templates and marketing collateral.

31

360-degree view of company – This means whoever the bank speaks to, irrespective of whether the communication is from sales, finance or support, the bank is aware of the interaction.

CUSTOMER LIFE CYCLE

1. Customer needs acquisition and assessment.

                        2. Customer development through personalization and customization.

                        3. Customer equity leverage through cross selling

                        4. Customer retention and referrals for new customers.

1.  The ideal method of customer acquisition is through referrals as it is directly  reflects ones product or service quality. But still most of the companies go for  the traditional mass media advertising and the argument they give is that we  need the initial critical mass of customers to get further referrals.

2.  A customer can be developed or nurtured through personalization of       communication     to him and customization of products and services through      mutual learning process. Making him feel important at every single point.

3.  Customer equity leverage through cross selling. Cross selling means “Expanding  relationships with existing clients"

4. And as we all know it is about 4 times costlier to acquire a new customer rather  than the cost incurred on retaining one. So customer retention is the key.

32

  What is a High Net Worth Individual

A high net worth individual is a person with large personal financial holdings. Traditionally the term used was millionaire.

CONCEPT OF 80: 20

80% of the bank’s business comes from 20% of its customers so is it not wise to retain that 20% of customers. Effective managers do not enjoy having unhappy customers, but they are smart enough to consider then as opportunities rather then disaster.An unhappy customer to gives you chance to correct the situation.For example: a bad meal at a restaurant may sour me on that establishment forever. If I express my displeasure some restaurateur's will ignore me, or make excuses, but those adept at managing apologies will send over a bottle of wine or tear up cheque.Therefore it is smart enough to tear up the cheque rather than to bye the customer.
