Interpretation- The overall service level for both SBI & HDFC is dissatisfactory with the mean
gap of -1.06 & -1.2 respectively. The major problem with the SBI personnel or employees is
their non -courteous, indifferent attitude. With HDFC it is the lack of transparency & poor
knowledge of the employees that is the cause of dissatisfaction of the customer. Another major
problem with SBI is the absence or inattentiveness of the ATM guard in the ATMs of the bank.
The t value for First Service Dimension People of -3.42 tested at 0.05 level of significance
does not lie between the critical values of +2.62 to -2.62 therefore we reject the null hypothesis
& accept the alternative hypothesis -that the customers are more satisfied with the banking
processes of HDFC bank.

Interpretation- In the second service dimension also the service level is found to be
dissatisfactory. However there is considerable difference between the mean gap score of
both the banks SBI score being -1.65 & that of HDFC -0.95.
SBI scored poorly for making the customers wait in queues, for a poor customer calling &
complaints procedure & for the lack of proper SMS alerts & reminder system. The major
problem with HDFC was the poor follow up of the complaints made by customers to HDFC.
The t value for second Service Dimension People of -2.72 tested at 0.05 level of
significance does not lie between the critical values of +2.62 to -2.62 therefore we reject the
null hypothesis & accept the alternative hypothesis that the customers are more satisfied
with the banking processes of HDFC bank.

Score
-1.41
Interpretation The customers of both the banks are most dissatisfied by the Physical
Evidence dimension of the two banks. The dissatisfaction level is higher amongst the
customers of SBI at - 1.53. The HDFC score is almost the same as that of SBI at -1.41.
The most dissatisfying service factor relates to the fact that both the banks have not
displayed anything about the grievance redressal procedure in the branches because of
which the customers feel very lost during times of problems. In spite of the fact that the
Banking Codes and Standard Board of India- 2006 has made it mandatory to display
information regarding grievance redressal in every branch. Proper parking facilities are
another major issue for dissatisfaction. The SBI employees are also not happy with the
general ambience of the branches as well as with the maintenance of the ATMs.
The t value for third Service Dimension People of -1.415 tested at 0.05 level of significance
lies between the critical values of +2.62 to -2.62 therefore we accept the null hypothesis that
there is no significant difference between the two banks on the bases of Physical Evidence.

Interpretation- The weights assigned by the customers of the two banks are almost equal
for the three dimensions. The maximum weight or importance is attached to the Process
dimension followed by Personnel & finally Physical evidence.
On the bases of the product of the means score & the weight of the respective dimension the
overall Satisfaction level of SBI adds up to -1.45 & that of HDFC to -1.11.
Thus the overall dissatisfaction level of SBI is higher as compared to HDFC bank in the area
of Lucknow.

Interpretation- It is said that good customer service leads to customer satisfaction which in
turn leads to customer loyalty.
The above graphs clearly show that as there is a positive correlation between the customer
satisfaction & years of association. As more the years of association higher is a the
satisfaction level (or lesser dissatisfaction).
Conclusion
Through the above research we can conclude that the customer service level of both banks
SBI & HDFC is below the expectations of their customers. However the dissatisfaction is
much higher in the customers of SBI than that of HDFC.
In case of people & physical evidence dimensions of customer service there is only slight
difference between the two banks. However in case of processes there is a significant
difference between the scores of the two banks.
The research shows that the maximum displeasure amongst the SBI customers is related to
do with its policies & processes. In HDFC Bank the displeasure of the customer is related to
its grievance redressal procedure & has to ensure proper product training is given to all its
employee.
The research also shows that there is a positive relation between customer satisfaction &
customer loyalty thus proving that a customer will continue to do business with a bank if he
or she is satisfied with the services of the bank.
