(a temporary overdraft against their fixed Deposit)

Would not it be great to earn a high interest on their Fixed

Deposit and at the same time enjoy the liquidity associated

with a Saving account/ Get their self the HDFC Bank Super

Save Account and that’s exactly what customer will have.

How do I benefit from the Super Save Account?

Maximum Liquidity

Their Super Saver Account allows customer to issue cheques

and use and ATM card for withdrawals, just like Savings

Account. Customer can access their account from any of

HDFC BANK 211 branches or over 650 ATMs spread across

India. Even in an emergency, customer need not break their

fixed Deposit to withdraw money. So customers get their

money whenever customers need it.

Easy operation

Customer can open a supersaver Account with nominal sum

of just Rs. 25,000 and enjoy a temporary withdrawal limit of

up to 75% of their deposit

40

Page 41: 38016346-hdfc

Even after customer withdraw a part of their limit, their

entire deposit continues to earn a high rate of interest, i.e.

their deposit in not broken. Customer are required to pay an

overdraft interest that is 2%

more than the interest earned by their Fixed Deposit for the

amount of overdraft, and only for the period for which

customer use the money. Besides, customer can take an

overdraft by simply using a cheque of through an ATM. Isn’t

that great?

interest will be charged at the Bank’s Prime Lending

Rate (PLR).

and 5 years for their Super Saver Account. HDFC BANK

Even if customer withdraw unto 70% of their Supersaver

Account on day one and do not put it back for a year,

41

Page 43: 38016346-hdfc

SWEEP IN ACCOUNT

(A Flexible Fixed Deposit cum Savings Account)

Imagine having an account that changes to suit their needs.

When customer want their money to earn high interest it

worked like a Fixed Deposit, when customer want to

withdrew money in a hurry, it works like a savings Account.

Customer wins both ways

So what is a Sweep-in Account

43

Page 44: 38016346-hdfc

It is a Fixed Deposit that comes automatically linked to a

savings Account. So whenever customer’s short of funds in

their Saving account and their money is “blocked” in a fixed

Deposit, customer just have to issue a cheque (or use the

ATM.) their money automatically gets transferred, i.e. swept-

in from their fixed Deposit into their Saving Account. It’s as

easy as it sounds. To open a sweep in Account, all customer

need is to open a Fixed Deposit as per the norms of the bank

and a Savings Account with no minimum balance

requirement.

Customer need to maintain a minimum fixed Deposit of Rs,

50,000 at all times to avoid service charges. In case of non

maintenance of Rs.50,000 in fixed deposits, customer

savings Account will be subject to service charges as

applicable. The saving account needs to be opened with an

initial amount of Rs.5000.

How does it work?

Since the Sweep in Account holds their money in a Fixed

Deposit in units of Re.1 every time money is swept from

their fixed deposit to their Savings account, interest loss in

minimized. Further, the amount swept in earns interest for

44

Page 45: 38016346-hdfc

the tenure that it has completed without any penalty. The

rest of their deposit continues to earn the original interest

rate till maturity.

There’s more! Customer can, if customer like always open an

add on deposit for just Rs. 5,000. Further, customer link as

many deposits as customer like to their Savings account.

And the Sweep in automatically chooses the oldest deposit

first before sweeping money into their Savings Account.

Enjoy the benefits of a truly flexible fixed Deposit. Just open

a Sweep in Account. The Savings accounts comes with it.

Call us and HDFC BANK representative will come over to

their home of office and open an account for customer. Well

take care of details and formalities including their

photograph.

INTERPRETATIONS

1. From the response of the Questionnaire gathered and

finding the experience during the survey from of people

around, about the HDFC Bank, a lot of conclusion and

findings have been arrived at which are sufficient to

unreveal the mysteries and connotations of customer

behavior and their satisfaction.

2. Since HDFC Bank is number two in terms of number of

account holders, and its positive image and enormous

goodwill among masses elevates, its position from nicher

to runner in retail banking sector. It can very well take on

the challenge posed by ICICI Bank and try to improve its

position by focusing on key strength areas and

strategically eliminating its weak points.

3. For expansion HDFC Banks should make forays into

semi-urban and smaller cities and also rural areas .In fact

68

Page 69: 38016346-hdfc

these days, rural income is increasing at a much faster

rate then. Urban income and also the market is

considered virgin which makes the launching and

expansion prospects very good one. In this way the Bank

can gain foothold over these territories and reap rich

harvest in terms of booming account numbers.

4. However it was felt during the survey that major

constraint which may laggard the growth of HDFC Bank is

the inadequate number of ATMs across the country. The

Bank need to improve upon this front because in terms of

customers consideration of attributes in choosing a bank

ATMs and location of it are of paramount importance.

5. Since saving account ate the most popular among

masses, innovative ideas has to be framed to inveigle new

prospects into this venture. Possible targets could be

school and college going students, housewives and small

businessmen who could easily put their money from

irregular source of income into this account.

6. Now-a-days Banking is no more the way of only

providing interest for the deposited money, but they are

the ways of accessing and transacting with them from

anywhere and anytime at any part of the world. Hence,

69

Page 70: 38016346-hdfc

flawless and effortless access of bank accounts from

mobile phones and Internet has to be made available.

7. It is also felt that in the era of e-banking where

transaction is more on the IT highway the success of bank

will depend more on building information networks rather

then anything else. In the near future all existing banks

including HDFC Bank may have to rival Airtel and hutch

network, which too might become Banks very soon rather

then competing among themselves. Hence vision for

success in near future is building up of information

gathering and dissemination network base

70

Page 71: 38016346-hdfc
