A Brief History
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in
existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is
the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these
responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking
functions. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given
broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the
government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.
Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is
with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have
government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 38 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
Origin of the Industry
Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The
General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and the 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 Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank
of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of
Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the
British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central
banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of
India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India.
Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a
consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and
still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. It was not the first though. That
honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which
survived until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to
the Alliance Bank of Simla.

When 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 20th 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. HSBC established itself
in Bengal in 1869. 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 first entirely Indian joint stock bank was the Oudh Commercial Bank, established in
1881 in Faizabad. It failed in 1958. The next was the Punjab National Bank, established in
Lahore in 1895, which has survived to the present and is now one of the largest banks in
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 but 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."
The period between 1906 and 1911, saw the establishment of banks inspired by the Swadeshi
movement. The Swadeshi movement inspired local businessmen and political figures to
found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of
Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India.
The fervor of Swadeshi movement lead to establishing of many private banks in Dakshina
Kannada and Udupi district which were unified earlier and known by the name South
Canara ( South Kanara ) district. Four nationalised banks started in this district and also a
leading private sector bank. Hence undivided Dakshina Kannada district is known as "Cradle
of Indian Banking".

From World War I to Independence


The period during the First World War (1914-1918) through the end of the Second World War
(1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India were challenging for
Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent, and it took its toll with
banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy gaining indirect boost due to war-related
economic activities. At least 94 banks in India failed between 1913 and 1918 as indicated in
the following table:

Post-independence
The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and West Bengal,
paralyzing banking activities for months. India's independence marked the end of a regime of
the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The Government of India initiated measures to play

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

an active role in the economic life of the nation, and the Industrial Policy Resolution adopted
by the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed economy. This resulted into greater
involvement of the state in different segments of the economy including banking and finance.
The major steps to regulate banking included:

In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was
nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India."

The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing
bank could be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have
common directors.

However, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the State
Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This changed with the
nationalisation of major banks in India on 19 July, 1969.

Nationalization of Banks
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate the
development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has emerged as a large employer,
and a debate has ensued about the possibility to nationalise the banking industry. Indira
Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual
conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank
Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was
swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14 largest
commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969. Jayaprakash Narayan, a
national leader of India, described the step as a "masterstroke of political sagacity." Within
two weeks of the issue of the ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies
(Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on 9
August, 1969.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

A second dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated
reason for the nationalization was to give the government more control of credit delivery.
With the second dose of nationalization, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking
business of India. Later on, in the year 1993, the government merged New Bank of India with
Punjab National Bank. It was the only merger between nationalized banks and resulted in the
reduction of the number of nationalised banks from 20 to 19. After this, until the 1990s, the
nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the average growth rate of the
Indian economy.
The nationalized banks were credited by some, including Home minister P. Chidambaram, to
have helped the Indian economy withstand the global financial crisis of 2007- 009

Growth and Present Status of Banks


In the early 1990s, the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalization, licensing a small number of private banks. These came to be known as New
Generation tech-savvy banks, and included Global Trust Bank (the first of such new
generation banks to be set up), which later amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce,
Axis Bank(earlier as UTI Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the
rapid growth in the economy of India, revitalized 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.
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%,at present it has gone up to 49%
with some restrictions.
The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time, were
used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%;Lend at 6%;Go home at 4) of functioning. The new
wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods of working for traditional
banks.All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just demanded more from their
banks but also received more.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

Currently (2007), banking in India is generally 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 terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered
to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative 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 but without any fixed 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. One may also expect M&As, takeovers,
and asset sales.
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.
In recent years critics have charged that the non-government owned banks are too aggressive
in their loan recovery efforts in connection with housing, vehicle and personal loans. There
are press reports that the banks' loan recovery efforts have driven defaulting borrowers to
suicide.

Future of Banking Sector and Initiated Reforms


Financial sector reforms were initiated as part of overall economic reforms in the country
and wide ranging reforms covering industry, trade, taxation, external sector, banking and
financial markets have been carried out since mid 1991. A decade of economic and
financial sector reforms has strengthened the fundamentals of the Indian economy and
transformed the operating environment for banks and financial institutions in the country.
The sustained and gradual pace of reforms has helped avoid any crisis and has actually
fuelled growth. As pointed out in the RBI Annual Report 2001-02, GDP growth in the 10
years after reforms i.e. 1992-93 to 2001-02 averaged 6.0% against 5.8% recorded during
1980-81 to 1989-90 in the pre-reform period. The most significant achievement of the
financial sector reforms has been the marked improvement in the financial health of
commercial banks in terms of capital adequacy, profitability and asset quality as also
greater attention to risk management. Further, deregulation has opened up new
opportunities for banks to increase revenues by diversifying into investment banking,
insurance, credit cards, depository services, mortgage financing, securitisation, etc. At the
same time, liberalisation has brought greater competition among banks,both domestic and
foreign, as well as competition from mutual funds, NBFCs, post office, etc. Post-WTO,

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

competition will only get intensified, as large global players emerge on the scene.
Increasing competition is squeezing profitability and forcing banks to work efficiently on
shrinking spreads. A positive fallout of competition is the greater choice available to
consumers,and the increased level of sophistication and technology in banks. As banks
benchmark themselves against global standards, there has been a marked increase in
disclosures and transparency in bank balance sheets as also greater focus on corporate
governance.
Major Reforms In Banking Sector
Some of the major reform initiatives in the last decade that have changed the face of the
Indian banking and financial sector are:
Interest rate deregulation. Interest rates on deposits and lending have been deregulated
with banks enjoying greater freedom to determine their rates.
Adoption of prudential norms in terms of capital adequacy, asset classification, income
recognition, provisioning, exposure limits, investment fluctuation reserve, etc.
Reduction in pre-exemptions lowering of reserve requirements (SLR and CRR), thus
releasing more lendable resources which banks can deploy profitably. Government equity
in banks has been reduced and strong banks have been allowed to access the capital
market for raising additional capital. Banks now enjoy greater operational freedom in
terms of opening and swapping of branches, and banks with a good track record of
profitability have greater flexibility in recruitment.
New private sector banks have been set up and foreign banks permitted to expand their
operations in India including through subsidiaries. Banks have also been allowed to set up
Offshore Banking Units in Special Economic Zones.
New areas have been opened up for bank financing: insurance, credit cards,
infrastructure financing, leasing, gold
banking, besides of course investment banking, asset management, factoring, etc.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

New instruments have been introduced for greater flexibility and better risk
management: e.g. interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements, cross currency forward
contracts, forward cover to hedge inflows under foreign direct investment, liquidity
adjustment facility for meeting day-to-day liquidity mismatch.
Several new institutions have been set up including the National Securities Depositories
Ltd., Central Depositories Services Ltd., Clearing Corporation of India Ltd., Credit
Information Bureau India Ltd. Limits for investment in overseas markets by banks,
mutualfunds and corporates have been liberalised. The overseas investment limit for
corporates has been raised to 100% of net worth and the ceiling of $100 million on
prepayment of external commercial borrowings has been removed. MFs and corporates
can now undertake FRAs with banks. Indians allowed to maintain resident foreign
currency (domestic) accounts. Full convertibility for deposit schemes of NRIs introduced.
Universal Banking has been introduced. With bankspermitted to diversify into long-term
finance and DFIs into working capital, guidelines have been put in place for the evolution
of universal banks in an orderly fashion.
Technology infrastructure for the payments and settlement system in the country has
been strengthened with electronic funds transfer, Centralised Funds Management
System,Structured Financial Messaging Solution, Negotiated Dealing System and move
towards Real Time Gross Settlement.
Adoption of global standards. Prudential norms for capital adequacy, asset classification,
income recognition and provisioning are now close to global standards. RBI has
introduced Risk Based Supervision of banks (against the traditional transaction based
approach).

Credit delivery mechanism has been reinforced to increase the flow of credit to priority
sectors through focus on micro credit and Self Help Groups. The definition of priority
sector has been widened to include food processing and cold storage, software upto Rs 1
crore, housing above Rs 10 lakh,selected lending through NBFCs, etc.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

RBI guidelines have been issued for putting in place risk management systems in banks.
Risk Management
Committees in banks address credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Banks have
specialised committees to measure and monitor various risks and have been upgrading
their risk management skills and systems.
The limit for foreign direct investment in private banks has been increased from 49% to
74% and the 10% cap on
voting rights has been removed. In addition, the limit for foreign institutional investment
in private banks is 49%.
Wide ranging reforms have been carried out in the area of capital markets. Fresh
investment in CPs, CDs are allowed only in dematerialised form. SEBI has reduced the
settlement cycle from T+3 to T+2 from April 1, 2003 i.e. settlement of stock deals will be
completed in two trading days after the trade is executed, taking the Indian stock trading
system ahead of some of the developed equity markets. Stock exchanges will set up trade
guarantee funds. Retail trading in Government securities has been introduced on NSE and
BSE from January 16, 2003. A Serious Frauds Office is proposed to be set up. Fungibility
of ADRs and GDRs allowed.
Improvement in Performance of Commercial Banks
There is no doubt that banking sector reforms have increased the profitability,
productivity and efficiency of banks. There has been an improvement in overall capital
adequacy of banks and as on March 31, 2002 92 out of 97 commercial banks operating in
India had capital adequacy above the statutory minimum level of 9%. Introduction of
prudential norms relating to asset classification, income recognition and provisioning,
along with legal and institutional reforms, has led to visible improvement in asset quality
in banks. Net NPAs (i.e.that portion of NPAs which is not provided for) have declined
gradually from 10.7% in 1994-95 to 5.8% in 2001-02.Increase in the number of players
has increased competition, which is reflected in the decline in the bank concentration
ratio. The share of top 5 banks in total assets declined from 51.7% in 1991-92 to 43.5% in
2001-02 while its share in
profits fell from 54.5% to 41.4% in the same period.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

Despite intensification of competition and introduction of prudential norms, all major


bank groups in India have remained profitable. The Return on Assets has hovered in the
range of 0.5-0.8% since the mid-1990s while this is on the lower side compared to
many developing countries, it is higher than the profitability at around 0.5% in
industrialised countries. The improvement in efficiency is also seen from the
intermediation cost for scheduled commercial banks, which declined from 2.85% in
1996-97 to 2.19% in 2001-02. According to data analysed by RBI, there has been a
noticeable decline in the difference between real interest rates in India and international
benchmark rates (LIBOR 1 year) since the mid-1990s, suggesting increased integration of
the Indian banking sector with the rest of the world.

Challenges Ahead
(i) Improving Profitability:
The most direct result of the above changes is increasing competition and narrowing of
spreads and its impact on the profitability of banks. The challenge for banks is how to
manage with thinning margins while at the same time working to improve productivity
which remains low in relation to global standards. This is particularly important because
with dilution in banksequity, analysts and shareholders now closely track their
performance. Thus, with falling spreads, rising provision for NPAs and falling interest
rates, greater attention will need to be paid to reducing transaction costs. This will require
tremendous efforts in the area of technology and for banks to build capabilities to handle
much bigger volumes.
(ii) Reinforcing Technology:
Technology has thus become a strategic and integral part of banking, driving banks to
acquire and implement world class systems that enable them to provide products and
services in large volumes at a competitive cost with better risk management practices.
The pressure to undertake extensive computerisation is very real as banks that adopt the
latest in technology have an

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

edge over others. Customers have become very demanding and banks have to deliver
customised products through
multiple channels, allowing customers access to the bank round the clock.
(iii) Risk Management:
The deregulated environment brings in its wake risks along with profitable opportunities,
and technology plays a crucial role in managing these risks. In addition to being exposed
to credit risk, market risk and operational risk, the business of banks would be susceptible
to country risk, which will be heightened as controls on the movement of capital are
eased. In this context, banks are upgrading their credit assessment and risk management
skills and retraining staff, developing a cadre of specialists and introducing technology
driven management information systems.

(iv) Sharpening Skills:


The far-reaching changes in the banking and financial sector entail a fundamental shift in
the set of skills required in banking. To meet increased competition and manage risks, the
demand for specialised banking functions, using IT as a competitive tool is set to go
up.Special skills in retail banking, treasury, risk management, foreign exchange,
development banking, etc., will need to be carefully nurtured and built. Thus, the twin
pillars of the banking sector i.e. human resources and IT will have to be strengthened.
(v) Greater Customer Orientation:
In todays competitive environment, banks will have to strive to attract and retain
customers by introducing innovative products, enhancing the quality of customer service
and marketing a variety of products through diverse channels targeted at specific
customer groups.
(vi) Corporate Governance:
Besides using their strengths and strategic initiatives for creating shareholder value, banks
have to be conscious of their responsibilities towards corporate governance. Following
financial liberalisation, as the ownership of banks gets broadbased, the importance of
institutional and individual shareholders will increase.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

In such a scenario, banks will need to put in place a code for corporate governance for
benefiting all stakeholders of a corporate entity.
(vii) International Standards:
Introducing internationally followed best practices and observing universally acceptable
standards and codes is necessary for strengthening the domestic financial architecture.
This includes best practices in the area of corporate governance along with full
transparency in disclosures. In todays globalised world, focusing on the observance of
standards will help smooth integration with world financial markets.

Indian Retail Banking continues to redefine the credit growth in the country. It grew by a
whopping 44.4% in 2005-06 to touch Rs3,538 billion. This leap was despite the increase in
risk weight by RBI for housing and real estate loans during August, 2005. Housing, which
constitutes more than 52% of all retail loans, grew at a robust rate of 44.35% during 2005-06.
In order to help banks in India to understand the market and competition and plan future
strategies, we have just come out with an Industry Insight on Indian Retail banking 2006
edition. This report analyses the retail banking market and its segments in India and presents
the key trends, along with issues and challenges. The report also paints a future outlook for
the market. Besides it profiles 21 major players in the retail banking space and their
strategies.
This report will be of immense use to all banks in India to review and formulate their
strategies in the retail space. It primarily covers analysis of the present status, current trends,

- What are the various issues and challenges before this industry?
With a jump in the Indian economy from a manufacturing sector, that never really took off, to
a nascent service sector, Banking as a whole is undergoing a change. A larger option for the
consumer is getting translated into a larger demand for financial products and customisation
of services is fast becoming the norm than a competitive advantage.
With the Retail banking sector expected to grow at a rate of 30% [Chanda Kochhar, ED,
ICICI Bank] players are focussing more and more on the Retail and are waking up to the
potential of this sector of banking. At the same time, the banking sector as a whole is seeing
structural changes in regulatory frameworks and securitisation and stringent NPA norms
expected to be in place by 2004 means the faster one adapts to these changing dynamics, the
faster is one expected to gain the advantage. In this article, we try to study the reasons behind
the euphemism regarding the Retail-focus of the Indian banks and try to assess how much of
it is worth the attention that it is attracting.
Potential for Retail in India: Is sky the limit?
The Indian players are bullish on the Retail business and this is not totally unfounded. There
are two main reasons behind this. Firstly, it is now undeniable that the face of the Indian
consumer is changing. This is reflected in a change in the urban household income pattern.
The direct fallout of such a change will be the consumption patterns and hence the banking
habits of Indians, which will now be skewed towards Retail products. At the same time, India
compares pretty poorly with the other economies of the world that are now becoming
comparable in terms of spending patterns with the opening up of our economy. For instance,
while the total outstanding Retail loans in Taiwan is around 41% of GDP, the figure in India
stands at less than 5%. The comparison with the West is even more staggering. Another
comparison that is natural when comparing Retail sectors is the use of credit cards. Here also,
the potential lies in the fact that of all the consumer expenditure in India in 2001, less than
1% was through plastic, the corresponding US figure standing at 18%.
But how competitive are the players?
The fact that the statistics reveal a huge potential also brings with it a threat that is true for
any sector of a country that is opening up. Just how competitive are our banks? Is the threat
of getting drubbed by foreign competition real? To analyze this, one needs to get into the
shoes of the foreign banks. In other words, how do they see us? Are we good takeover

targets? Going by international standards, a large portion of the Indian population is simply
not bankable
taking profitability into consideration. On the other hand, the financial services market is
highly over-leveraged in India. Competition is fierce, particularly from local private banks
such as HDFC and ICICI, in the business of home, car and consumer loans. There, precisely
lie the pitfalls of such explosive growth. All banks are targeting the fluffiest segment i.e. the
upwardly mobile urban salaried class. Although the players are spreading their operations
into segments like selfemployed and the semi-urban rich, it is an open secret that the big city
Indian yuppies form the most profitable segment. Over-dependence on this segment is bound
to bring in inflexibility in the business.

What about the foreign giants?


The foreign banks have identified this problem but there are certain systematic risks involved
in operating in the Retail market for them. These include regulatory restrictions that prevent
them from expanding their branch network. So these banks often take the Direct Selling
Agent (DSA) route whereby low-end jobs like sourcing or transaction processing are
outsourced to small regional layers. So now on, when you see a loan mela or a road show
showcasing the retail bouquet of an elite MNC giant, you know that a significant commission
earned out of any such booking gets ploughed back to our own economy. Perhaps, one of the
biggest impediments in foreign players leveraging the Indian markets is the absence of
positive credit bureaus. In the west the risk profile can be easily mapped to things like SSNs
and this information can be publicly traded. PAN is a step in this direction but lot more work
need to be done. What has been a positive step towards this is a negative file sharing started
by a consortium of 11 banks. However, as a McKinsey study points out actual write-offs on
NPAs show a strong negative correlation with sharing of positive information. On top of this,
the spend-now-pay-later credit culture in India is just not picking up. A swift legal
procedure against consumers creating bad debt is virtually nonexistent. Finally, the vast
geographical and cultural diversity of the country makes credit policy formulation a tough job
and it simply cannot be dictated from a Wall Street or a Singapore boardroom! All these add
up to the unattractiveness of the Indian retail market to the foreign players. So over the past
few years, in spite of the entry of MNCs in many industries, Retail Banking has seen a flurry
of panicky exits. Fewer than 40 remain in India and their share of total bank assets currently

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

7.2% is falling. Those that remain might be thought to be likely buyers of Indian banks. Yet
Citibank, HSBC and Standard Charteredall in India for more than a century, and with
relatively large retail networksseem to have no pressing need to acquire a local bank.
Established foreign banks have preferred to take over customers or businesses from other
foreign banks that want to leave. Thus HSBC, in recent years, has acquired customers from
France's BNP, Germany's Deutsche Bank and Japan's Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. ABN Amro
took over Bank of America's retail business.
So all for the keeping then?
This will perhaps be the most wrongful inference that can be drawn from the above. We just
cannot afford to look inwards and repeat the mistakes that were the side effects of the
Nationalization of the Banking System. A growing market can never be an alibi for lack of
innovation. Indian banks have shown little or no interest in innovative tailor-made
products.They have often tried to copy process designs that have been tested, albeit
successfully, in the West. Each economic culture has its own traits and one who successfully
adapts those to the business is the eventual winner. A case in point is the successful
implementation of micro-credit networks in Bangladesh. Positioning a bank as a tech-savvy
financial vendor in a country where Internet penetration is an abysmal 1.65% can only add to
the over-leveraging as pointed out earlier. The focus of the sector should remain in
macroeconomic wealth creation and not increasing the per capita indebtedness that will do
little but add to the NPA burden. Retail Banking in India has to be developed in the Indian
way, notwithstanding the long queues in front of the teller counter in the SBI Joka branch!

Methodology

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

Research Methodology refers to the method the researchers use in performing research
operations. In other words, all those methods, which are used by the researcher during the
course of studying his research problem, are termed as Research Methods.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A research project conducted scientifically has a specific frame work of research from
problem identification to presentation of research report. This framework of conducting
research is known as Research Design.
A research can be conducted without a research plan but it may not solve the problem. A
research cannot achieve its objectives without proper research design, without design, it
increase its cost and energy.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive research includes surveys and facts finding enquirys of different finds. The
major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at
present. The main characteristics of this method are that the researcher has no control over
the variable. He can only report what has happened or what is happening. Most are post facts
research projects are used for descriptive studies in which the researcher seeks to measure
such items as for example frequency of shopping, preference of people or similar data. Ex
post facts studies also include attempt by researchers to discover causes even way when they
cannot control the variables. The method of research utilized in descriptive research is survey
method of all kinds, including comparative and correctional methods.
The study is about customer satisfaction regarding services in PNB. It is being made because
Customer satisfaction is the key to the profitability of the banking. It implies the retention of
customers for the long term, which is cheaper than altercating new customers. In current
scenario bank becoming larger the closure of branches and the advent of internet banking, the
question arises whether the customers are satisfied or not.
DATA COLLECTION
PRIMARY DATA with the help of self structured, questionnaire was collected to the address
the research objectives and keeping in tune with the research design.
SECONDARY DATA consisted from Journals, Magazines, and Books & Websites.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

Sampling is necessary because it is almost impossible to examine the entire parent population
or universe. Various factors such as time available, cost, purpose of study etc. make it
necessary for the researchers to choose a sample. It should neither be too small nor too big.
SAMPLE SIZE
40 Customers.

A Study On Various Services Offered By Punjab National Bank

DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCES

Uneducated customers were not abling to fill their Forms properly

Due to the lack of the employees ledger were not in good condition.

Recording of the data was incomplete and due to which they were not able to clarify
the dues.

But due to the computer the job of the employees is simpler.

Now they have to pass simple entries and all records is maintained easily without any
confusion.

There job is much simpler than before now they can make changes, add, modify at
the same time in a easy manner that is an achievement for bank

I learnt many things in the bank but the most interesting thing I like there is the
Environment of the bank the employees help each other rather they the job of other
or not but they help each other.

Conflicts arise between them because of the lack of the customers they add wrong
information in their cheques or vouchers that cannot be passed.

I learnt many things I have good and bad experiences both over their before I I was
not aware of anything in the bank now I know many things.

I can say that while working over their no employee leaves its work pending for net
day because if they let it pending than they can not end their day and by hook or
crook they have to finish it.

My experience says that working in bank is not as easy as we think because


Managing each and every thing is not easy task.

They have to interact with differ rent types of people so its very tough.
