Indian banks find themselves in a scenario of tighter regulation, global and domestic
economic slowdown, half-backed reforms, dwindling industrial performance, a prolonged
lull in the capital market, increasing competition, excess liquidity and narrowing array of

Introduction
With years, banks are also adding services to their customers. The Indian banking
industry is passing through a phase of customers market. The customers have more
choices in choosing their banks. 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 past days are witness to an hour wait before
withdrawing cash from accounts or a cheque from north of the country being cleared in
one month in the south.
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 are 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 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
In such a situation the customer has become essential to gauge the competitor’s offerings
in terms of innovative products and services to the customer and the reason behind
customer’s loyalty to a particular bank.
above findings.

ICICI Bank
The methodology employed for the above was secondary research backed by primary
research in the form of interviews of bank officers and corporates. The study was limited
to the Bangalore market.
Overview
ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of about Rs. 2,513.89 bn at
March 31, 2006 and profit after tax of Rs. 25.40 bn for the year ended March 31, 2006
(Rs. 20.05 bn for the year ended March 31, 2005). ICICI Bank has a network of 741
branches (including 48 extension counters) and over 3300 ATMs in India and presence in
30 International locations. ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and
financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels
and through its specialized subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of investment banking,
life and non-life insurance, venture capital and asset management. ICICI Bank set up its
international banking group in fiscal 2002 to cater to the cross border needs of clients and
leverage on its domestic banking strengths to offer products internationally. ICICI Bank
is the most valuable bank in India in terms of market capitalization.
ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the
National Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
ICICI Bank has formulated a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for its directors and
employees. At June 5, 2006, ICICI Bank, with free float market capitalization* of about
Rs. 480.00 billion (US$ 10.8 billion) ranked third amongst all the companies listed on the
Indian stock exchanges.
ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial
institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was
reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity
offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition

13
ICICI Bank
of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary

market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was
formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and
representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development
financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian
businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial
institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a
wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries
and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the
first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE.
After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the

emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards
universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the
merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both
entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal
banking strategy.
The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's
access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the
ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services.
The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital
base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships
built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in
various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent
pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries.. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI
and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March
2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in
April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking
operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single entity.

questionnaire and balance sheets administered to a sample of 50 respondents. A personal
interview was conducted with respondents. Some of the questionnaires were filled up
after a small conversation relevant to the subject of the study. The questionnaire was
structured with both open and close-ended questions. The balance sheet also served the
purpose of calculating the various ratios. Analysis, tabulation and interpretation of the
data were done accordingly and conclusions were drawn. Thus the questionnaire and
interview method along with the balance sheets were adopted for the purpose of research.
AREA OF SAMPLING
The study was conducted in Bangalore.
SAMPLING
A sample is a small portion of the population selected for observation and analysis. By
observing the characteristics of the sample, one can make certain inferences about the
population from which it is drawn. A population is any group of individuals that have one
or more characteristics in common and are of interest to the researchers. The sampling
technique adopted was convenience sampling. Non-probability samples that are
unrestricted are called convenience samples; they include informal pools of neighbors,
friends, newspapers etc. In this study the size of the sample is 100 respondents and the
sampling unit constitutes the employees at different level of banks.

Industry Profile
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 reason 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 has 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.
• New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian Financial &
Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.
Phase I

22
ICICI Bank
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. 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

23
ICICI Bank
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
were nationalized. Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was
carried out in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking
segment in India under Government ownership.
After the nationalization of banks, the branches of the public sector bank India rose to
approximately 800% in deposits and advances took a huge jump by 11,000%.
Banking in the sunshine of Government ownership gave the public implicit faith and
immense confidence about the sustainability of these institutions.
Phase III
This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its
reforms measure. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was
set up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.
The country is flooded with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put
to give a satisfactory service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced.
The entire system became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance
than money.
The financial system of India has shown a great deal of resilience. It is sheltered from any
crisis triggered by any external macroeconomics shock as other East Asian Countries
suffered. This is all due to a flexible exchange rate regime, the foreign reserves are high,
the capital account is not yet fully convertible, and banks and their customers have
limited foreign exchange exposure

As in the case of any business, even in the case of the banking sector probability and
sources of funds are important. As such, higher the net profit and higher the deposits the
better for the bank. While high profits are indication of the bank, high deposits speak of
the extent to which the bank has been in a position to mobilize funds from customers.
ICICI bank has both the highest net profit as well as the largest deposit base among the
private sector and foreign banks that have been compared.

TRENDS AMONG THE PRIVATE INDIAN BANKS

57
ICICI Bank
Analysis made on the basis of any one year’s figures could always lead to faulty
conclusions as the year of review could have been an exceptional case. For example
around the year 2006 ICICI bank went in for its ADR and this could have affected the
return on assets of the bank. As such the consolidated figures of ICICI bank and ltd have
been taken and compared with the figures of the other banks for the year 2004-2005.
While the scope for error is still present as two years in still not a good indicator, the fact
that any banks have not published the audited results for the year 2005 has been a
constraining factor in this regard.

Table 1
A look at the ratios and figures and both for 2004 and 2005 reveals that as compared to
all the other banks in the private sector in India, ICICI bank has grown by leaps and
bounds. Its branch network has increased and so has its deposit base. But this was
primarily due to the merger between ICICI bank and the bank of Madura. However, the
profitability of the company has dropped drastically. This drop has come primarily from
the corporate lending of the erstwhile ICICI ltd. The net profit as well as the non interest
income continues to be way beyond the income of the other three banks in the private
sector. Similarly is the case with earning quality ratios. The fall in the profitability has
also affected the productivity ratios of the bank.
As far as the banking sector is concerned, banks in India have turned risk averse. Banks,
which are predominant financial intermediaries in the economy, are turning in to business
that has to be profitable. Banks are more interested in putting their money into risk free
government securities rather than to the industry. The reason for this could be that
lending to the industry entails higher risk, which impacts the banks capital adequacy
forcing the bank to raise equity, which is difficult in a barely active capital market. The
very fact that most of the foreign banks have treasury services as a thrust area proves the
point that banks are averse to lending to corporates.

59
ICICI Bank
While the importance levied on profitability has increased tremendously, banks on the
size are levying an almost equal importance. To fight foreign banks with global presence,
banks today have to be “big”. And size here is not just in terms of asset base but I also in
terms of geographical research. And to do so a vast majority of the banks going in
mergers. This is evidence by the plethora of mergers that have been taking place in the
last two years. Size is of importance t cut costs. If a bank wishes to become a universal
bank provided solutions to al the financial requirements of an individual or corporate, if it
wishes to have to ensure that they are big enough to provide services that reach the
customers.
Apart from size, one area that is gaining importance is the sector of fee-based income.
Being a risk free source of revenues, banks are more and more concentrating on pushing
fee-based activity. The market size of the fee-based activity is about Rs.111.1 bn. This
sector grew at about 83% the net increase in interest income in 2001 and amounted to
about to about 50% of interest income.
One other trend that has happened in the banking sector is the focus being levied upon the
retail side. It has been recognized that the retail lending attracts far greater spreads and
are a whole lot less risky than corporate lending. As such banks are using technology to
increase their offerings to the retail customers. Be it establishing more ATM’s or
introducing phone banking, internet banking and mobile banking, retail customers is
gaining importance today.

Table 2
Car loan offered to customers have been compared primarily on the basis of loan amount,
interest rates, processing fees, pre-payment fees and processing time. The comparative
table reveals that of all the banks, the interest rates offered by HDFC bank are the most
competitive. HDFC bank offers the lowest rate of 12.5% for a small segment car as
against the other banks that charge a minimum of 14.5%. Additionally the bank does not
charge any processing fee at the time when 2% seems to be the norm. the offering of
HSBC is also very similar to that of HDFC bank with an interest rate that is 0.5% points
higher. Additionally they also charge a processing fee of 2%. But with a processing time
of just 48 hours it is likely to be the best alternative to a retail customer.
As compared to those two banks, ICICI bank offers as much higher rate of 14.5%. But
then this is on par with most of the other banks in the private and foreign sector. Further,
ICICI bank processes its loan in 4 days, which is significantly lesser than all other banks.
With most of its other features on par with the other banks, ICICI bank is likely to be the
third choice for all retail customers.

Table 3
In case of home loans, it has been assumed that the principal factors that would influence
the decision taken by a customer would be a loan amount, interest rates, repayment
period and the service charge. The various banks have been evaluated on the features. At
the out set it appears that both Stan chart and ICICI make offering that are equally
competitive. However ICICI bank charges a marginally lower rate both for interest and

63
ICICI Bank
for service charge. Additionally they also give a repayment period of 20 years as against
Stan chart that offers only 15 years. While ICICI bank does charge a pre-payment fee of
2%, it is assumed that this is not a major consideration for a customer who takes a loan.
As such ICICI bank scores better than the other banks in the offerings it makes and is
likely to be the first choice for a customer looking for home loans.

Loans against shares have been compared on a number of features, the most important
being interest rate and processing time is particularly important in themselves are liquid
securities and in case of need a customer can always choose to sell the shares if he/she
wanted the money urgently. The rates offered by ICICI bank at 14% are the most
competitive. The processing time of about 4 days is also among the lowest. On this basis
it can be said that the offering of ICICI bank is most attractive. Particularly so since all
the other features like ATM cards are also provided by the bank.
Competition for the ICICI bank would be from HDFC bank, which offers loans at 15%.

In the two wheeler segment, there are only two players- HDFC bank and ICICI bank.
None of the other private sector banks or foreign banks offers two wheeler loans and any
person seeking to buy a two wheeler would have to take a personal loan to do so. Of
these two banks, the terms of offering of HDFC bank is more competitive as compared to
those of ICICI bank. Their interest rates are a competitive 11.5% and they don’t charge

66
ICICI Bank
any payment fee. However given the fact that ICICI bank makes most of the other
offerings, a retail customer might choose ICICI bank makes most of the other offerings, a
retail customer might choose ICICI bank just a frequently as HDFC bank. In other words
the competition is pretty stiff.

The offerings most of the banks are the same in case of ATM card. However the
withdrawal limit incase of HSBC is better than Citibank or Stan chart in the sense that the
current holders of HSBC can withdraw greater amounts.
ICICI not only offers a lower withdrawal limit but also charges the highest penalty n case
of replacement of card.

CHAPTER 5
SUMMERY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND
RECCOMANDATION

ICICI Bank
FINDINGS
The old prophecy that once a customer is a customer has become a myth in the
present day competitive world. Brand image on banking sector no longer works a magic
with the consumer. So to hold the customer to the bank and attract new consumers the
ICICI Bank must come up with strategies that is efficient and competent in the present
scenario.
After analyzing the response of the respondent through questionnaire and observation the
following were found in the study.
 In the case of revenue of banks, Standard Chartered bank is the undisputed

leader. ICICI follows up as second in revenues.
 In the case of net profit and deposits ICICI bank is leading with both the
highest net profit and largest deposit among the private sector and foreign
banks.
 In the case of operating efficiency, standard chartered bank is the most
efficient of all the banks. Avg performance is shown by ICICI bank.
 In the case of earning quality, standard chart is the leader in this arena with a
ratio of 4.15. ICICI bank is way below this figure with a ratio of 2.12
indicating that the funds probably have not been utilized properly.
 In the case of productivity, ICICI is the leader with the highest ratio of
productivity based on both business per employee and revenue per employee.
 In the case of asset quality, ABN Amro bank has been most judicious in its
landings. ICICI bank is close of Avg performance for all the banks.
 In the case of management quality, stand chartered once again out performs
the other banks

72
ICICI Bank
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings regarding the performance and thrust area of the other competing
private sector and foreign banks, the trends in the banking sector and the future of the
sector as such an attempt has been made to point our areas that the bank can possibly
concentrate upon.
Corporate sector
1. Continue focus on cash management service: with more and more companies
preferring to outsource their collection and payment, the sector fee based activity
growing. Given the vast geographical presence of ICICI bank that can be
leveraged upon, the bank is better placed to offer these services at a competitive
rate as compared to foreign banks.
2. Continue targeting SME segment: small and medium enterprises through in

existence for long, have gained prominence only in the recent past. In fact ICICI
bank got this segment as a result of their merger with the bank of Madura. The
foreign banks have also only just started targeting this segment. As such
leveraging on the expertise of the personnel of bank of Madura, ICICI bank ca try
to move faster than competitive and make use of the first move for merger.
3. Focus on FX services: FX services are an area that is being concentrated upon

only by one bank- Citibank. None of the other banks are targeting this product.
With Indian industries looking for a global presence, the need for this product is
likely to grow. That apart, FX services from close to 13% of the market for fee-
based product. With that market growing, FX services would also grow. As such,
ICICI bank could target this product and try to make attractive offerings to the
clients in the sector.

73
ICICI Bank
4. Provide advisory services via specialists. The bank could appoint specialists in
certain definite industrial sectors who would not only evaluate projects for the
bank but would also give advisory services to the clients on the changes that make
in their investment. This person could be independent of any financing that the
bank would so that there is no clash of interest for him has evaluated the projects.
5. Single point interface: one of the complaints that clients had against private sector
and foreign banks was that, the company had to deal with multiple managers
depending upon the products that the company required. That is, for cash
management services there was one relationship manager, while treasury had
another. The companies found this highly disconcerting and preferred to deal with
a single individual from a bank, which could in turn interact with his colleagues.
6. Decentralization of decision making: another complaint that clients had against

banks was that there was a delay information transfer and approvals, primarily
because all banks branches had to contact the officials in their head offices before
approving clients. Decentralization on behalf of the bank would solve this
problem.
7. Flexibility and personalization of services: yet another reason, that some of the
companies mentioned, for their sticking on to the public sector banks was the
rigidity and impersonal touch with the foreign and private sector banks.
8. Collecting bank for direct and indirect taxes: an offshoot of the fact that clients
dealing only with one or two foreign banks were dealing with HDFC bank
because of their statues of being a collecting banker for direct taxes.

74
ICICI Bank
Retail sector
1. Loan against shares and house loans: given the growing importance of the retail
sector and the bank offerings being the strongest in case of house loan and loan
against shares, ICICI bank could look at pushing home loans and loan against
shares.
2. Tie up with American express: ICICI bank could look at possible tie up with
American express not only for traveler’s cheque but also for providing ATM
facilities to the customers of American express. This would get them high net
worth clients.
3. Continue corporate credit cards: corporate credit cards would help employees pay
official bills through cards. This would save both then and the company the
trouble of reimbursing the expenditure.
4. Electronic clearing house: with RBI giving it approval for establishment of an

electronic clearing house by the banks, a move in this direction would help banks
hasten their clearing process and provide retail- time on-line service to their
clients that would help corporate.

CONCLUSION

76
ICICI Bank
CONCLUSION
A careful study has been done in the sector of commercial banks in Bangalore to evolve a
competitive strategy for ICICI Bank through questionnaires, observation, interviews and
through proper guidance of respective faculties.
The study which lasted for one month has provided information to understand the
working of different Banks in Bangalore and their strength and weakness. The project
covers analyzing the private sector banks in India with special emphasis on the product
portfolio, both corporate and retail, evaluating the thrust areas and strategies of these
banks, and evolving a strategy for ICICI.
The study is restricted to 6 Banks namely Amro bank, Citibank, HDFC bank, HSBC,
Standard chartered and UTI bank and the facts clearly shows that Standard Chartered
Bank leads in revenue terms whereas ICICI leads in case of deposits & revenue. In the
case of operating efficiency Standard chartered bank is on the top that means it is the
most efficient bank. In the case of management quality, once again Standard chartered is
at the top.
The study helped me to understand that the organisation (ICICI Bank) is facing a sever
competition and it affects the profitability of the Bank. I was also able to understand
some of the draw backs and problems of the ICICI Bank such as Decentralization of
decision making which make delay in information transfer and approvals, non flexibility
and personalization of services, non availability of specialist to advice the banks clients
on various investment. I hope that if the bank is managed to overcome these draw backs
and problems, it can increase its efficiency.
