EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Private banking is a concept which is new and fast emerging in the world of
banking where changes have become a necessity in order for banks to survive in
this competitive environment vis-à-vis not only from the public and private sector
banks but also from the foreign banks. The objective of the research is to explore
the various products, which a private banker deals into and the systematic process
involved to match client requirements with the right kind of product.
Through this research one of the main objectives is to explore the reason why most
of the banks are injecting private banking as business profile to their set of service
offerings.
Though private banking evolved in late 80’s in Asia, in India its not more than 5
years old. ICICI started it in Aug 2002 and since then it has been a remarkable
success. Today there are enormous solutions to cater client needs but what suits
best to a client is where private banking fits in. Every client will have different
needs, liking and preferences. So a customized portfolio for every client is the need
of the day.
This research will highlight more on the product portfolio of ICICI Private
Banking, how they have changed or innovatively structured to be attractive and
competitive.

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.

INTRODUCTION
The banking section will navigate through all the aspects of the Banking System in
India. It will discuss upon the matters with the birth of the banking concept in the
country to new players adding their names in the industry in coming few years.
The banker of all banks, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Indian Banks
Association (IBA) and top 20 banks like IDBI, HSBC, ICICI, ABN AMRO, etc.
has been well defined under three separate heads with one page dedicated to each
bank. However, in the introduction part of the entire banking cosmos, the past has
been well explained under three different heads namely:
History of Banking in India
Nationalization of Banks in India
Scheduled Commercial Banks in India
The first deals with the history part since the dawn of banking system in India.
Government took major step in the 1969 to put the banking sector into systems and
it nationalized 14 private banks in the mentioned year. This has been elaborated in
Nationalization Banks in India. The last but not the least explains about the
scheduled and unscheduled banks in India. Section 42 (6) (a) of RBI Act 1934 lays
down the condition of scheduled commercial banks. The descriptions along with a
list of scheduled commercial banks are given on this page.
R.A College Washim Page 7
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 reasons 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.
R.A College Washim Page 8
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 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.
R.A College Washim Page 9
During those day’s 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 nationalized Imperial Bank of India with extensive
banking facilities on a large scale especially in rural and semi-urban areas. It
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 was nationalized.
BANKS IN INDIA
In India the banks are being segregated in different groups. Each group has their
own benefits and limitations in operating in India. Each has their own dedicated
target market. Few of them only work in rural sector while others in both rural as
well as urban. Many even are only catering in cities. Some are of Indian origin and
some are foreign players.All these details and many more is discussed over here.
The banks and its relation with the customers, their mode of operation, the names
of banks under different groups and other such useful information’s are talked
R.A College Washim Page 10
about. One more section has been taken note of is the upcoming foreign banks in
India. The RBI has shown certain interest to involve more of foreign banks than
the existing one recently. This step has paved a way for few more foreign banks to
start business in India.

sion. The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets ex-

ingly customer - centric in their approach, which has resulted in innovative meth-

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

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

Environment
An employer the bank extends a lot of authority along with justified accountability
to you. The working culture is very collaborative in nature. It can be owed to the
fact that the bank is highly segmented with a lot of overlapping and mostly distinct
roles and responsibility.ICICI Bank has established itself as a one stop solution
(Universal Bank) for all financial need of individuals and institutions alike. The
credit for the same can be attributed to its vast network, probably the largest among
private sector banks.This makes the life of an employee a lot easier, especially for
those who face the external customers. You do not have to justify your organiza-
tion, it is only the product that has to be pitched. As far as employee benefits are
concerned, ICICI Bank offers a lot of financial benefits ranging from your family
health insurance to your kids school donations. The organization is sensitive to the
needs of its employees as this quality is one of the building blocks (DNA) of the
organizational culture. The organization will be giving you enough flexibility to

TECHNOLOGY
ICICI use many type of advance technological software like Pinnacle 7.0 and Pin-nacle7.016.Among from this software ICICI bank uses the e-banking, core bank-ing, mobile banking electronic display sy ICICI Bank was using Teradata for its data warehouse. However, due to its proprietary hardware, the cost of procure-ment, upgrades and administration was soaring. The closed box architecture of Teradata imposed restrictions on scalability. Secondly, querying and loading could not happen simultaneously. Queries could only be run during business hours be-cause the loading of data had to take place during off-business hours. This meant that the refresh rate of EDW was delayed, so queries may not reflect the most cur-rent data. ICICI Bank was also dependent on Teradata for support and other activi-ties: The bank was completely tied down to that solution.

Retail Segment of ICICI Lombard General Insurance :
ICICI Lombard's Retail Segment consists of personal insurance products - Health, Home, Motor and Travel insurances.
Health Insurance
ICICI Lombard is known to be a pioneer in introducing innovative concepts in the Indian health Insurance sector. Be it the floater concept, the critical illness cover or the tax gain policy, all these were first introduced by ICICI Lombard. It was also one of the first general insurance companies in India to have a robust online system in place for buying and renewing policies.
The various plans offered by ICICI Lombard include Family Floater Plan - where one policy covers the entire family, Health Advantage Plus - where they cover OPD and dental expenses, also help save maximum tax under section 80D and Critical Illness plan - a special policy covering a list of critical illnesses. They also have a basic Personal Accident Plan which covers against accidents. ICICI Lombard health plans also provide coverage against terrorism.
Home Insurance
R.A College Washim Page 28
Home Insurance is actually one of the most neglected areas in the general insurance category. Simply, because people in general, especially in India, do not give much importance to it. However, in the recent years, due to the increase in awareness, and the great extent of damage caused to property due to natural calamities and terrorism, it has been gaining importance. The Home Insurance Policyoffered by ICICI Lombard covers both the structure and the contents of the house. You can opt for either of the covers or both. Unlike other policies, it also covers damage due to terrorist activities, loss of cash, public liability, temporary resettlement and others.
Motor Insurance
As Motor Insurance is mandatory in India and is governed by the Motor Tariff Act, the policies offered by various companies are more or less the same. There is not much room for innovation in this category. ICICI Lombard too offers Car Insurance and Two Wheeler Insurance. They are known to offer one of the best rates in the market. As the entire buying process is online and is instant, without any submission of documents or other formalities, people generally opt it for convenience.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is one of the most prominent sector of general insurance, especially overseas travel insurance and student medical insurance. ICICI Lombard offers various options in both the categories. The Overseas Travel Plans and Student Medical Plans offered cover medical and non-medical expenses, including compensation for flights hijacked and pre existing diseases in case of emergency. They charge on a per day basis if the travel is more than 7 days. ICICI Lombard has tied up with United Health Group to facilitate access to all its clinics while in U.S.
The Student Medical Plans are accepted in almost universities worldwide. They also have a section in their website, University Search, where one can find specific plans for specific universities.
All the above retail policies can be bought online, without any documentation through their website www.icicilombard.com .One can not only buy, but also manage and renew their insurance policies online.
Technology
R.A College Washim Page 29
ICICI use many type of advance technological software like Pinnacle 7.0 and Pin-
nacle7.016.Among from this software ICICI bank uses the e-banking, core bank-
ing, mobile banking electronic display sy ICICI Bank was using Teradata for its
data warehouse. However, due to its proprietary hardware, the cost of procure-
ment, upgrades and administration was soaring. The closed box architecture of
Teradata imposed restrictions on scalability. Secondly, querying and loading could
not happen simultaneously. Queries could only be run during business hours be-
cause the loading of data had to take place during off-business hours. This meant
that the refresh rate of EDW was delayed, so queries may not reflect the most cur-
rent data. ICICI Bank was also dependent on Teradata for support and other activi-
ties: The bank was completely tied down to that solution.
These issues compelled ICICI Bank to look for more efficient and flexible solu-
tions. The solution would have to address not only current issues, but accommo-
date future growth expectations and business requirements. ICICI Bank evaluated
numerous data warehousing solutions in the pursuit of solving its issues, and devel-
oped a shortlist of alternatives for its migration proof-of-concept: Sybase, SAS and
Netezza. The primary criteria for evaluation was the price-to-performance ratio
where Sybase IQ emerged the clear winner. During this rigorous testing, Sybase
IQ delivered faster results on independent hardware and operating systems with
minimum infrastructure. Commending the improvements achieved, Amit Sethi,
Joint General Manager, ICICI bank says, "What impressed us wasthat even with
overall lower costs, we could achieve significantly better query performanceafter
implementing the Sybase enterprise warehouse solution." ICICI Infotech today
launched an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for the small and medium
enterprises. The ERP package - Orion Advantage - comes bundled with an HP dual
processor Xeon server, Oracle 9i database, Windows 2003 server and costs about
R.A College Washim Page 30
Rs 9.90 lakh and has a 15-user license. An ERP package helps a manufacturer or
any other business implementing it to manage all the important parts in the com-
pany such as product planning, parts purchasing, maintaining inventory and inter-
acting with suppliers and customers.

STRENGHTS
R.A College Washim Page 45
1) Online Services: ICICI Bank provides online services of all it’s banking
facilities. It also provides D-Mart account facilities on-line, so a person can access
his account from anywhere he is.
[D-Mart is a dematerialized account opened by a salaried person for
purchase & sale of shares of different companies.]
2) Advanced Infrastructure: Branches of ICICI Bank are well equipped with
advanced technology to provide the customers with taster banking services. All the
computerized machines are located in suitable manner & are very useful to the
customers & staff of the bank.
3) Friendly Staff: The staff of ICICI Bank in all branches is very friendly & help
the customers in all cases. They provide faster services along with bonding &
personal relationship with the customers.
4) 12 hrs. Banking services: Compared to other bank ICICI bank provides long
hrs. of services i.e. 8-8 services to the customers. This service is one of it’s kind &
is very helpful for the customers who are in urgent need of money.
5) Other Facilities to the Customers & Employees: ICICI Bank also provides
other facilities like drinking water facilities, proper sitting arrangements to the
customers. And there are also proper Ventilation & sanitary facilities for the
employees of the bank.
6) Late night ATM services: ICICI bank provides late night ATM services to the
customers. The ATM centers of ICICI bank works even after 11:00pm. at night in
certain branches.
Weakness
R.A College Washim Page 46
1) High Bank Service Charges: ICICI bank charges highly to customers for
the services provided by them when compared to other bank & that is why it is
only in the reach of higher class of society.
2) Less Credit Period: ICICI bank provides credit facilities but only upto
limited period. Even when the credit period is not over it sends reminder letters to
the customers which may annoy them.
OPPORTUNITIES
1) Bank –Insurance services: The bank should also provide insurance services.
That means the bank can have a tie-up with a insurance company. The bank will
advertise & promote the different policies introduced by the insurance company &
convince their customers to buy insurance policies.
2) Increase in percentage of Returns on increase: The bank should provide
higher returns on deposits in comparison of the present situation. This will also
upto large extent help the bank earn profits & popularity.
3) Recruit professionally guided students: Bank & Insurance is a special non-aid
course where the students specialize in the functioning & services of the bank &
also are knowledge about various tax policies. The bank can recruit these students
through tie-ups with colleges. Such students will surely prove as an asset to the
bank.
4) Associate with social cause: The bank can also associate itself with social
causes like providing relief aid patients, funding towards natural calamities. But
this falls in the 4th quadrant so the bank should neglect it.
THREATS
R.A College Washim Page 47
1) Competition: ICICI Bank is facing tight competition locally as well as
internationally. Bank like CITI Bank, HSBC, ABM, Standered Chartered, HDFC
also provide equivalent facilities like ICICI do and also ICICI do not have
consistency in its international operation.
2) Net Services: ICICI Bank provides all kind of services on-line. There can be
easy access to the e-mail ids of the customers through wrong people. The
confidential information of the customers can be leaked easily through the e-mail
ids.
3) Decentralized Management: Each branch manager is given the authority of
taking decisions in their respective branches. The decisions made by different
managers are diverse and any one wrong decision can laid to heavy losses to the
bank.
4) No Proper Facilities to Uneducated customers: ICICI Bank provides all
services through electronic computerized machines. This creates problems to the
less educated people. But this threat falls in the 4th quadrant so its negligible. The
company can avoid this threat.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection Techniques:
This project consists of two parts.
The first part is a study of the banking industry, ICICI Bank using secondary data
sources. This secondary information has been sourced from the internet and from
business related magazines and newspapers.
The second part of the study has been done using an exploratory research process
and a structured questionnaire was developed for this purpose. For the collection of
primary data this was the only method used. The reason I used this method is
because a need was felt for the free influx of information about the products. Also
this method allowed the use of skills gained in class.
Sample Design:
The population considered for the purpose of the survey was people residing in
Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
Sampling Technique Used:
Since the information required was not of a very technical nature and also looking
at the scope of the project and the extent of the target segment, the sampling
technique employed was Convenience Sampling. I administered the
questionnaires.
Sample Size:
R.A College Washim Page 49
I have restricted the sample size to 50 respondents. This was done keeping in mind
the time constraints and the fact that I felt that this number would be enough to
serve the information needs required to show the trends.
Customer Satisfaction:
Customer satisfaction is equivalent to making sure that product and service
performance meets customer expectations. It is the perception of the customer that
the outcome of a business transaction is equal to or greater than his/her
expectation. Customer satisfaction occurs when the acquisition of products and /or
services provides a minimum negative departure from expectations when
compared with other acquisitions and when the marginal utility of a transaction is
equal to or greater than preceding acquisitions.
Customer satisfaction occurs when the perception of the reward from the purchase
of goods or services by the customer meets or exceeds his/her perceived sacrifice.
The perception is a consequence of matching past purchase and consumption
experience with the current purchase.
Customer Service and Satisfaction:
When we talk about customer service and/or satisfaction, we talk about creativity.
Creativity allows us to handle or diffuse problems at hand or later on rather in the
process of conducting the everyday business. We talk about how, or what, does the
organization have to do to gain not only the sale but also the loyalty of the
customer. We want to know the payoff of the transaction both in the short and long
term. We want to know what our customers Want? We want to know if our
customers are satisfied. Satisfaction, Of course, means that what we delivered to a
R.A College Washim Page 50
customer met the customer’s Approval. We want to know if customers are
delighted and willing to come
Employees must adhere to a rigid chain of command
Employees are closely supervised
Conflict—in whatever form—is not allowed
Rewards are based on carrot-and-stick principles
Wrong objectives are measure.
Level 1. Expectations are very simple and take the form of assumptions, must
have, or take it for granted. For example, I expect the airline to be able to take off,
fly to my destination, and land safely. I expect to get the correct blood for my
blood transfusion and I expect the bank to deposit my money to my account and to
keep a correct tally for me.
Level 2. Expectations are a step higher than that of level 1 and they require some
form of satisfaction through meeting the requirements and/or specifications. For
example, I expect to be treated courteously by all airline personnel. I went to the
hospital expecting to have my hernia repaired, to be in some pain after it was done,
to be out on the same day, and to receive a correct bill. And I went to the bank
expecting the bank teller to be friendly, informative, and helpful with my
transactions.
Customer satisfaction surveys help to:
Improve customer, client, or employee loyalty.

Conclusion
Thus, ICICI has been able to use technology to provide value-added service to its
customers during the last few years. For ICICI, technology is an integral part of
their business. However, their overall progress could have been smoother but for
certain internal and extraneous factors and also a pressure on spreads due to a
competitive market (Annual report, 2000 –01). E-banking has become a necessary
survival weapon and is fundamentally changing the banking industry worldwide.
To day, the click of the mouse offers customers banking services at a much lower
cost and also empowers them with unprecedented freedom in choosing vendors for
their financial service needs. No country today has a choice- whether to implement
E-banking or not given the global and competitive nature of the economy. ICICI
have toupgrade and constantly think of new innovative customized packages and
services to remain competitive. The invasion of banking by technology has created
an information age and commoditization of banking services. ICICI have come to
realize that survival in the new e-economy depends on delivering some or all of
R.A College Washim Page 62
their banking services on the Internet while continuing to support their traditional
infrastructure. The rise of E-banking is redefining business relationships and the
most successful banks will be those that can truly strengthen their relationship with
their customers. Without any doubt, the international scope of E-banking provides
new growth perspectives and Internet business is a catalyst for new technologies
and new business processes.
