INTRODUCTION
The Indian banking industry is passing through a phase of customers market. A competition has
been established within the banks operating in India. With stiff competition and advancement of
technology, the services provided by banks have become more easy and convenient.
The study gives detailed information of the Retail sector there being growing worldwide
appreciation of the fact that Retail sector play a catalytic role in the development process of most
economies.
I have presented my learning in the form of a Study of Retail Liabilities Division of Kotak
Mahindra Bank and comparative analysis of Direct banking Services of Kotak with other
banks. This describes the All Features and their USPs of a particular Product, Which is and can
be the need of consumer in near future.
It was very beneficial as I not only understood the customized products and services offered to
the customers, but also the entire procedure of Selling Of RETAIL Products(PARTICULARLY
CASA/TD/LI). Besides this I was enlightened on the procedures of how to activate net banking

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were The General
Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct.
The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The
Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806.
Currently (2007), 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 In 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
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.
The major work in this research project has been done with the view to analyze the Direct
Banking Services and its comparison with its competitors. And to know the areas where the bank
performance is lagging behind. I developed questionnaire and duly got them filled from various
customers of KOTAK and its competitors.
The analysis of the data so collected was the next logical step to undertake. The data was
tabulated, the responses were noted and suitable tools and techniques were applied to infer the
data. The survey revealed several important areas of concern for kotak.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Primary objective is to make comparative analysis of the direct banking services of Kotak
Mahindra Bank and to find out what all things on which the bank should pay more
attention in order to satisfy more of its customers.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
The secondary objective is to find out the different strategies adopted by its competitors
this will help the bank to overcome its shortcomings.
• With the help of this study the company will be able to attract and build a large customer
base as they will be able to know the taste and preferences of the customers.
RESEARCH DESIGN
I have used a Descriptive Research design in my study as I have described all the features and
characteristics of different direct banking channels of kotak and its competitors to arrive on a
particular conclusion.
SAMPLE DESIGN
The sampling design adopted for this study is probability proportional to size as it has following
advantages:
SAMPLE SIZE
Determining sample size is a very important issue because samples that are too large may waste
time, resources and money, while samples that are too small may lead to inaccurate results. The
sample size for the region has been taken to be 100
CRITICAL REVIEW OF LITRATURE
In India still there is lack of users for internet as a medium for banking purpose, but the
banking system are upgrading and bringing many electronic banking medium for
customers so that banking can be made more convenient.
[1] Joseph et al. (1999) investigated the influence of internet on the delivery of
banking services. They found six underlying dimensions of e-banking service quality
such as convenience and accuracy, feedback and complaint management, efficiency,
queue management, accessibility and customization. Jun and Cai (2001) identified 17
service quality dimensions of i-banking service quality. These are reliability, responsiveness,
competence, courtesy, credibility, access, communication, understanding the customer,
collaboration, continuous improvement, content, accuracy, ease of use, timeliness, aesthetics,
security and divers features. They also suggested that some dimensions such as responsiveness,
reliability and access are critical for both traditional and internet banks. Jayawardhena (2004)
transforms the original SERVQUAL scale to the internet context and develops a battery of 21
items to assess service quality in ebanking. By means of an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)
and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), these 21 items are condensed to five quality
dimensions: access, website interface, trust, attention and credibility. From the provider
perspective, there are target quality and delivered quality. The focus of process- or supply-led
quality definition is rather internal than external, and it is defined as conformance to
requirements. It lays emphasis on the importance of the management
and the supply-side quality, and there is an important role of the process in determining
the quality of outcome (Ghobadian, 1994). Achieving the quality of conformance
between the planned (target) quality level and the real quality delivered to customers
depends on the service quality management system in an organization.
[2] IAMAI report on online banking 2006. 43% of online banking user haven’t
started online financial transaction because of security reasons, 39% haven’t started
because they prefer face to face, 22% haven’t started because they don’t know how to
use, for 10% sites are not user friendly and for 2% banks are not providing the facility of
internet banking. According to research 68% of the customers can not say that when they will be
starting the financial transactions through internet. Maximum numbers of online banking users
are male and maximum of them are in age the group of 25-35. Numbers of female users are very
less i.e. 17% only. More than 60% of the people who are having account with have accounts in
3-4 banks. Only 37% of Indian Internet users come from Top 10 cities i.e. Mumbai, Bangalore,
Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat and Nagpur. Another day and
another number. As per IAMAI and I-cube, the number of active Internet user (i.e.ones who
logon to Internet atleast once a month) is now 32 million and numbers who have used Internet
atleast once stands at 46 million.
[3] The Indian Internet Banking Journey In 2001, a Reserve Bank of India
survey revealed that of 46 major banks operating in India, around 50% were either
offering Internet banking services at various levels or planned to in the near future.
According to a research report,( India Research, Kotak Securities, May 2000.) while in
2001, India's Internet user base was an estimated 9 lakh; it was expected to reach 90 lakh by
2003. Also, while only 1% of these Internet users utilized the Internet banking services in 1998,
the Internet banking user base increased to 16.7% by mid- 2000.
[4] Meute r et al. (2000) have identified critical incidents of customer satisfaction and
dissatisfaction with technology-based service encounters. Given that business-to-business
transactions are the fastest growing segment of technology-driven services (Hof, 1999); Meuter
and his colleagues (2000) suggested investigating what drives business customer satisfaction or
dissatisfaction with technology driven services.
According to Gönroos (1982), customers distinguish the quality of customer interactions
that take place during service delivery (functional quality) and the quality of the outcome
the customer receives in the service encounter (technical quality). Customers perceive the quality
of services of Internet banking based on the performance of online delivery systems – not on the
processes in which the delivered service is developed and produced. Because customers perceive
Internet banking service quality based on relatively standardized outcomes determined by online
systems, customer attitudes toward that outcome reflect overall quality of services delivered
Customers usually perceive risks in conducting transactions electronically and particularly if the
transactions involve money. Risk perception can be of six different types: time risk, finacial risk,
performance risk, psychological risk and safety/confidentiality risk. It is generally considered
that risk perception could be higher for electronic banking services. This study aims to
understand extent to which whether this is consideration is valid as well as to determine the
levels of risk perception differences among those using Internet Banking and those not using it.
BANKING IN INDIA
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were The General
Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct.
The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The
Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other
two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established
under charters from the British East India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial
Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India.For many
years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The Reserve
Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian banking sector from
1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader
powers.
EARLY HISTORY
The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865.However, at the
end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense of the term.
The American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States.
Promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to speculative
ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors lost money
and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks. Subsequently, banking in India remained the
exclusive domain of Europeans for next several decades until the beginning of the 20 th century.
Foreign banks too started to arrive, particularly in Calcutta, in the 1860s. The Comptoire
d'Escompte de Paris opened a branch in Calcutta in 1860, and another in Bombay in 1862;
branches in Madras and Pondichery, then a French colony,followed. Calcutta was the most active
trading port in India, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and so became a banking
center.
The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.
Around the turn of the 20th Century, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period
of stability. Around five decades had elapsed since the Indian Mutiny, and the social, industrial
and other infrastructure had improved. Indians had established small banks, most of which
served particular ethnic and religious communities. The presidency banks dominated banking in
India. There were also some exchange banks and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these
banks operated in different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by
Europeans, concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally
under capitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the presidency and
exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of banking it seems
we are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden
bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments." By the 1900s, the market expanded
with the establishment of banks such as Punjab National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of
India, in 1906, in Mumbai - both of which were founded under private ownership. Punjab
National Bank is the first Swadeshi Bank founded by the leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar
Dyal Singh Majithia. The Swadeshi movement in particular inspired local businessmen and
political figures to found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established
then have survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of
Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India.

All the banks in India were earlier private banks. They were founded in the pre independence era
to cater to the banking needs of the people. But after nationalization of banks in 1969 public
sector banks came to occupy dominant role in the banking structure. Private sector banking in
India received a fillip in 1994 when Reserve Bank of India encouraged setting up of private
banks as part of its policy of liberalization of the Indian Banking Industry. Housing Development
Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval
from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector. Private Banks have
played a major role in the development of Indian banking industry. They have made banking
more efficient and customer friendly. In the process they have jolted public sector banks out of
complacency and forced them to become more competitive.
RETAIL BANKING
What has contributed to this retail growth? Let me briefly highlight some of the basic reasons.
First, economic prosperity and the consequent increase in purchasing power
have given a fillip to a consumer boom. Note that during the 10 years after 1992, India’s
economy grew at an average rate of 6.8 percent and continues to grow at the almost the same rate
– not many countries in the world match this performance.
Second, changing consumer Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the
dealing of Commercial banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of
the balance sheet. Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans
(e.g., personal, housing, auto, and educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the
products offered by banks. Related ancillary services include credit cards, or depository services.
Today’s retail banking sector is characterized by three basic characteristics:
1 · multiple products (deposits, credit cards, insurance, investments and
securities);
2 · multiple channels of distribution (call centre, branch, Internet and kiosk); and
multiple customer groups (consumer, small business, and corporate).
3 . What is the nature of retail banking? In a recent book, retail banking has been
described as “hotter than vindaloo”1. Considering the fact that vindaloo, the Indian-
English innovative curry available in umpteen numbers of restaurants of London, is
indeed very hot and spicy, it seems that retail banking is perceived to be the in-thingin
today’s world of banking.
Third, technological factors played a major role. Convenience banking in the form of debit
cards, internet and phone-banking, anywhere and anytime banking has attracted many new
customers into the banking field. Technological innovations relating to increasing use of credit /
debit cards, ATMs, direct debits and phone banking has contributed to the growth of retail
banking in India.
Fourth, the Treasury income of the banks, which had strengthened the bottomlines of banks for
the past few years, has been on the decline during the last two years. In such a scenario, retail
business provides a good vehicle of profit maximization. Considering the fact that retail’s share
in impaired assets is far lower than the overall bank loans and advances, retail loans have put
comparatively less provisioning burden on banks apart from diversifying their income streams.
Fifth, decline in interest rates have also contributed to the growth of retail Credit and
increasing services in retailing of other financial solutions by generating the demand for these.
Retail banking has immense opportunities in a growing economy like India. As the growth story
gets unfolded in India, retail banking is going to emerge a major driver. How does the world
view us? I have already referred to the BRIC Report talking India as an economic superpower.
A. T. Kearney, a global management consulting firm, recently identified India as the "second
most attractive retail destination" of 30 emergent markets.
The rise of the Indian middle class is an important contributory factor in this regard. The
percentage of middle to high income Indian households is expected to continue rising. The
younger population not only wields increasing purchasing power, but as far as acquiring personal
debt is concerned, they are perhaps more comfortable than previous generations. Improving
consumer purchasing power, coupled with more liberal attitudes toward personal debt, is
contributing to India's retail banking segment. Retail sector, which at present is in the nascent
stage. Due to bundling of services and delivery channels, the areas of potential conflicts of
interest tend to increase in universal banks and financial conglomerates. Some of the key policy
issues relevant to the retail banking sector are: financial inclusion, responsible lending, and
access to, long-term savings, financial capability, consumer protection, regulation and financial
crime prevention.
Second, rising indebtedness could turn out to be a cause for concern in the
future. India's position, of course, is not comparable to that of the developed world where
household debt as a proportion of disposable income is much higher. Such a scenario creates
high uncertainty. Expressing concerns about the high growth witnessed in the consumer credit
segments the Reserve Bank has, as a temporary measure, put in place risk containment measures
and increased the risk weight from 100 per cent to 125 per cent in the case of consumer credit
including personal loans and credit cards.
Third, information technology poses both opportunities and challenges. Even with ATM
machines and Internet Banking, many consumers still prefer the personal touch of their
neighborhood branch bank. Technology has made it possible to deliver services throughout the
branch bank network, providing instant updates to checking accounts and rapid movement of
money for stock transfers. However, this dependency on the network has brought IT
department’s additional responsibilities and challenges in managing, maintaining and optimizing
the performance of retail Banking networks. Specific challenges include ensuring that account
transaction applications run efficiently between the branch offices and data centres.
Fourth, KYC Issues and money laundering risks in retail banking is yet Another important issue.
Retail lending is often regarded as a low risk area for money laundering because of the
perception of the sums involved. Banks must also consider seriously the type of identification
documents they will accept and other processes to be completed. The Reserve Bank has issued
details guidelines on application of KYC norms in November 2004.

With few years in banking business and seeing the responses of the customers I can
say that the bank has great potential to perform well in future with the help of this study I
would like to give following recommendations:-
The company should pay more attention on customer satisfaction this will help
them in building good relationships with them which will prove to be profitable for
them in long run.
The company should also keep an eye on competitors strategy and bring about
necessary changes from time to time
The bank must concentrate more on personal relationship and services offered
as differentiation on the basis of product is difficult.
The branches must look in for corporate tie up with the existing organizations.
