I have a strong conviction that you are going to achieve a


decision making position in your career within a short span of time. Let it
be any function of the organization; unless one has a realistic picture and
approach of the driving factors of any decision to be made, it becomes
extremely difficult to arrive at a decision which is equally risky. Thus the
study of Research Methodology will provide you with the knowledge and
skills and help you to learn different techniques of conducting research
which form a very important part of your job.

Thus to have a deeper insight in Research Methodology, I would like


you to study the process of research and hope it will help you to know
the procedures of collecting data, preparing questionnaires , preparing
reports etc.

Executive Summary

Gone are the days when people would dip into their cash reserves
and savings to buy cars. Almost all – both individuals and companies –
prefer to buy vehicles on installments, because that allows them the
liberty of not having to invest a huge amount upfront. That’s the need gap
being filled by almost all banks and financial institutions, who now offer
auto loans on lucrative terms to consumers, egging them to fulfill their
dreams and aspirations, just by paying some extra interest. According to
industry estimates, in the last few years alone, 60% of cars were bought
through finance deals. Two-wheelers, being cheaper, had a smaller share
in the auto loans market. With more and more attractive car and two
wheeler brands and models jostling for the consumer’s attention, banks
and financial institutions, are also falling over each other to offer the most
customer-friendly loan schemes, which can suit even the most humble
earnings. That’s what creates an embarrassment of riches – a confusion
over which bank to choose and which loan to opt for.

Based on certain conditions, banks in India are more than willing to


extend a car loan to finance the major share of the car's cost.
Certain terms of services offered by Banks are explained as follows:

A secured loan
Beginning with the basics, a car loan by nature is a secured loan. The
vehicle or car you are buying will be the collateral or security for your

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 7


loan. Until you complete the loan repayments, your lender will have
complete authority over the purchased car.

The margin money or down payment


Initially, for a car loan, there is some amount (usually 15% to 30%
depending on the car model and bank), which has to be paid up front to
the car loan company. This amount is called the margin money or the
down payment.

Ex-showroom or on road prices:


Some banks provide car loans at On Road Prices. This means that the loan
amount sanctioned for your cars will contain the ex-showroom price of the
car plus the insurance, the road tax and any other amount that is
required. The car loan amount in case of On Road Price will be
significantly greater than the Ex-showroom price of the car. Let us take an
example.

Fixed and Floating Interest Rate:


A fixed interest rate loan is a loan where the interest rate doesn't
fluctuate during the fixed rate period of the loan. This allows the borrower
to accurately predict their future payments.

A floating interest rate loan is also referred to as adjustable, variable or


flexible interest rate loan. The home finance company will decide upon a
base rate -- known as the floating reference rate. In such a loan, the
interest rate keeps changing. So, the interest rate on the loan will go up or
come down depending on how the interest rate in the economy is moving.
This, in turn, will impact the EMI.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 8


Loan to value, a ratio of the outstanding debt on a property to the
market value of that property

Loan tenor is defined as the length of time until a loan is due.

Structured home loans are products which are mapped to specific


individual needs as against a vanilla product offered to the customers at
large. These are dependent on factors like the profile of the customer, his
need, type of properties etc.

• Table repayment structure

This is the most common type of repayment structure where you pay
regular even amounts, subject to interest rate changes. Your early
repayments are mostly interest with a small amount of principal. As you
pay off your loan, this ratio gradually reverses.

• Step Down Payment Structure


The EMIs are large in the early part of the tenure, and are lowered
after some years.

• Step up Payment Structure


The EMI is lower in the early part of the repayment period, which
gradually increases as the income of the customer increases.
Typically, in this case, the loan is slotted into three ranches based
on the potential income profile of the customer.

• Balloon payment Structure

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 9


A balloon payment is paid back when the loan comes to its
contractual maturity – e.g., reaches the deadline set to repayment
at the time the loan was granted – representing the full loan amount
(also called principal). Periodic interest payments are generally
made throughout the life of the loan.

• Bullet payment structure


Bullet payment involves payment of standardized equated monthly
installments (EMI) for 11 months of a year except for an increase in
the EMI for one month per year of the loan period.

Exploratory Research:-

This research allow us to gain information on a subject that we may


have previously known little about and furthermore, can also provide a
platform upon which a formalized research project can be built.
Exploratory research is used to assess the situation in hand with the
minimum cost and time possible. In this research project, we wanted to
first understand the role of ICICI Bank providing Auto loan to its existing
customers.

Descriptive Research:-

Descriptive research answers the questions who, what, where, when


and how. ICICI bank wanted to find out the satisfaction level of their
existing Account holders and what could be done to improve the
satisfaction level. For this reason, we designed a questionnaire which
would help us to gauge the customer’s response depending on various
Parameters that influence a customer’s satisfaction level.

LITERTURE REVIEW
THE AUTO LOAN MARKET IN INDIA

Gone are the days when people would dip into their cash reserves
and savings to buy cars. Almost all – both individuals and companies –
prefer to buy vehicles on installments, because that allows them the
liberty of not having to invest a huge amount upfront. That’s the need gap
being filled by almost all banks and financial institutions, who now offer
auto loans on lucrative terms to consumers, egging them to fulfill their
dreams and aspirations, just by paying some extra interest. According to
industry estimates, in the last few years alone, 60% of cars were bought
through finance deals. Two-wheelers, being cheaper, had a smaller share
in the auto loans market.

With more and more attractive car and two wheeler brands and
models jostling for the consumer’s attention, banks and financial
institutions, are also falling over each other to offer the most customer-
friendly loan schemes, which can suit even the most humble earnings.
That’s what creates an embarrassment of riches – a confusion over which
bank to choose and which loan to opt for.

India has several good government and private banks that offer
different car loan schemes with varying interest rates. It is natural for

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 16


buyers to get confused looking at completely varied auto loan rates and
schemes. There are simple ways by which you can compare and contrast
car loan rates offered by different banks.

Start your comparison by classifying the banks into two broad


sectors. One would be government run banks like State Bank of India,
Union Bank, Punjab National Bank etc. Other category would be private
ones like HDFC, ICICI Bank, HSBC Indian Bank etc.

Government run banks generally would have strict regulations when


compared to private run banks. Hence car loan interest rates from
government banks may not be as attractive like those of private banks.
Here you will have to make a choice whether to go for attractive rates by
private banks with possible hidden costs or go for government banks that
are much safer to deal with.

Once you have decided your category, you will have to zero down
based on the amount you would like to borrow. For example, ICICI bank
offers attractive rates for smaller cars with value over one lakh. The limit
and auto loan interest rates would be different across banks for different
amounts.

Some car manufacturers have tie ups with banks to help customers
with easy finance options. For example, Citicorp India would be offering
attractive rates when financing selective cars including Maruti 800 (which
is a popular small low priced car).

Finally you would be left with two or three banks with two or three
loan schemes. Among these you will have to make a strict comparison of
the interest rates and repayment periods to arrive at your choice. These
data can be found from several leading websites and portals from India.

In any case note that, ICICI and HDFC are generally two good banks to
approach for car loan rates.

Auto Loans – 6 Keys to Getting Great Auto Loans
[1]

It’s always a delight to get the keys to a new car. For most, the only
challenge is paying for the car. Unless you have cash in hand, you’ll need
some type of auto loan. Follow these six keys to a great auto loan and you
can ride around knowing you got the best deal.

Key to a Great Auto Loan #1: Choose A Car: -

The first step that is essential is to choose a car of your choice and
find out its manufacturer, model. Also, don’t forget to find out the nearest
distributor for your convenience.

Key to a Great Auto Loan #2: Know How Much You Can
Spend

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 18


Cars look jazzy on websites and in showrooms. But can you afford it
with your income? Make a fair assessment about how much money will
you able to pay back each month if you were to go for an auto loan. This
would prepare you to approach auto finance companies. Don’t forget your
car’s running expenses though. Fuel isn’t cheap anymore!

Key to a Great Auto Loan #3: What’s the Cost of My


Dream Car? : -

You may love the car your neighbor drives, but its price tag may just
be too hot for you. Settle for a bunch of options, whose price tag is within
your reach. Don’t forget, there are a whole set of paraphernalia expenses
involved in the purchase of a car, which can sometimes throw your budget
out of gear.

1 - http://auto.indiamart.com/auto-finance/#tab

Key to a Great Auto Loan #4: What Are My Priorities? : -

You may be able to afford an auto loan of Rs 5 lacs, but paying an


equated monthly installment (EMI) of more than Rs 12,000 could be
stressful. On the other hand, you may want to save on interest rates, even
if the EMI is a bit steep, because you stand to gain in the long run. Figure
out what’s more important – conveniences of payment terms or lower
interest rates?

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 19


Key to a Great Auto Loan #5: Shop Around –

As you are ready to Explore & you have made up your mind that
you will take your loved ones out for a spin within a week, check out who
offers what, and which one is best suited for you

Key to a Great Auto Loan #6: Few Things to Remember:


-

Add Extra Expenses to Cost of Vehicle. Do not forget to add the


charges for car maintenance, fuel, interest and insurance rates to the cost
of vehicle. The gross is what the vehicle costs you.

Things You Ought to Know About Auto Finance [2]

• 90% of the cost of your new vehicle can be financed by banks.


• If you plan to buy a used vehicle, 85% of value of car can be
financed by the banks.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 20


• Often, the interest is calculated on a monthly reducing balance.
• Your repayment tenure of auto loan may vary between 12-60
months.
• Repayment period may be for 7 years but is offered by very few
institutions.
• Non-banking finance companies generally charge more interest rate
than public sector banks.

• The maximum loan amount is up to 3 times the annual salary (for


salaried professionals) or 6 times the annual income (for self
employed professionals).

• Banks generally offer a preferential treatment to their existing


customers. If you have savings or current account with a bank, it is
easier to get the loan and you might also get preference in terms of
rate of interest.

• If you want to go for an early settlement of the loan amount, certain


charges are taken as a penalty.

• For the purpose of auto loan, the interest is calculated on


compound basis.

• There is also a minimum amount of auto loan that you have to take
from finance money.

• In case you have been declared bankrupt, applied for bankruptcy,


defaulted in some loan in the past or a court case pending against
you, it will be very difficult for you to get an auto loan.

• The rate of interest for an auto loan differs from one bank to the
other, while the minimum is somewhere around 10-11 percent.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 21

Loan Schemes

There are four standard car loan versions. [3]

• Margin Money Schemes


• Security Deposit Schemes
• Advance EMI Schemes
• Processing Fees

• Margin money schemes

This is the most straightforward scheme of them all. For instance, if


a car costs Rs. 1 lakh, a typical scheme would require you to pay at least
10% up front, and you would get a loan of Rs. 90,000. The Loan to Value
(LTV) ratio is 90% in this case. The interest rate quoted will be on this Rs.
90,000. Thus if the rate quoted is 16% for 12 instalments, the EMI would
be Rs. 8,166. The interest rate is charged on a monthly basis.

• Security Deposit Schemes

This is a variation of the Margin Money Scheme. In this, the


company claims to give a loan of 100%, but asks for, say, 10% of the
amount in advance, which it will return at the end of the loan period.
In effect, you are still getting a loan of 90%. But the reason that you are
being "shown" a lower rate is that the designer is making interest on your
deposit for the period of the loan, when your money is lying with him. He
uses that money to offset the amount that he is charging less from you.
Some security deposit schemes offer interest on the deposit that you pay.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 22


As long as this rate is lower than the rate that you are paying in a normal
margin money scheme, the designer can reduce the price of the loan.
Suppose you had to put in a deposit of Rs. 10,000 in the above case, on
which 14% is being offered. The scheme lets you borrow Rs. 1 lakh,
instead of only Rs. 90,000. In effect, he is borrowing the additional Rs.
10,000 from you at 14%, and is lending you that same money at 16%. So
he's making extra money, which he can afford to use to reduce the 16%.
Thus, he is using your own money to give you a lower rate.

• Advance EMI Schemes


Still another variation of the margin money scheme. The bank offers
to give the complete amount as loan, but, requires you to pay some
amount as EMIs in advance. It achieves two things:
- You are giving a down payment, thereby reducing the lending
amount and the risk along with it.

Also, the bank stands to gain on the amount of interest that it gets.
Firstly, it does not give the 100% loan it had promised. Secondly, the
interest that it charges on the amount that it has lent is in actuality
greater. This is because, it calculates the interest rate on what it has lent,
but forgets about the sum it has already taken in advance. Very simply
put, if the bank lent you Rs. 200 and collected Rs. 100 as advance EMI, it
will get its 16% on the Rs. 100 that it has actually lent, by telling you that
it is lending to you at 8% on the Rs. 200 that you (ostensibly) borrowed.

• Processing Fees

This is the most innocuous-seeming (and popular) method. At the


beginning of the period, the bank requires you to pay 2%-4% (typically) of

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 23


the loan amount as "processing" fees. In effect, the bank is lending you
lesser than it had promised which increases the effective rate that you are
paying. For example, if a bank lends you Rs. 1 lakh at 16% for one year
(12 EMI's), and charges you 3% as processing fees, you are in effect
paying an interest of 22%!

Customer Satisfaction – An Introduction

Organizations are increasingly interested in retaining existing


customers while targeting non-customers; measuring customer
satisfaction provides an indication of how successful the organization is
at providing products and/or services to the marketplace.
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the
actual manifestation of the state of satisfaction will vary from person to
person and product/service to product/service.[7] The state of
satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and physical
variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and
recommend rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on
other options the customer may have and other products against which
the customer can compare the organization's products.

An organisation with a strong customer service culture places the


customer at the centre of service design, planning and service delivery.
Customer centric organisations will:
• Determine customer expectations when they plan
• Listen to the customer as they design

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 49


• Focus on the delivery of customer service activities
• Value customer feedback when they measure performance.

The process for measuring customer satisfaction and obtaining


feedback on organizational performance are valuable tools for quality
and continuous service improvement.

7 - http://en.mimi.hu/marketingweb/customer_satisfaction.html

Customer expectations are the customer-defined attributes of your


product or service you must meet or exceed to achieve customer
satisfaction.

What do Customers Want?

Before we begin to create tools to measure the level of satisfaction, it is


important to develop a clear understanding of what exactly the customer
wants. We need to know what our customers expect from the products
and services we provide.

Customer Expectations are of two types - Expressed and Implied.

• Expressed Customer Expectations are those requirements that are


written down in the contract and agreed upon by both parties, for
example, product specifications and delivery requirements.
Supplier's performance against these requirements is most of the
times directly measurable.

• Implied Customer Expectations are not written or spoken but are


the ones the customer would 'expect' the supplier to meet

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 50


nevertheless. For example, a customer would expect the service
representative who calls on him to be knowledgeable and
competent to solve a problem on the spot.

There are many reasons why customer expectations are likely to


change over time. Process improvements, advent of new technology,
changes in customer's priorities, improved quality of service provided by
competitors are just a few examples.

The customer is always right. Supplier's job is to provide the Customer


what he wants, when he wants it. Customer Satisfaction is customers'
perception that a supplier has met or exceeded their expectations.

It is therefore important to periodically update our knowledge of customer


expectations.

What constitutes Satisfaction?

We cannot create customer satisfaction just by meeting customer's


requirements fully because these HAVE to be met in any case. However
falling short is certain to create dissatisfaction.

Major attributes of customer satisfaction can be summarized as:

• Product Quality
• Product Packaging
• Keeping delivery commitments
• Price
• Responsiveness and ability to resolve complaints and reject reports
• Overall communication, accessibility and attitude

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 51


We cannot begin to address the customer satisfaction issue we define
the parameters and measures clearly.

Customer Satisfaction
Reviving the rather worn out debate on consumers and their
relationships with companies/the companies brands/the companies
marketers/the companies salesmen entirely for my amusement, lets hook
on to the latest statement that's making the rounds.. One of those that
sound really heavy but are a wee bit on the flaky side when it comes to
believability-100% customer satisfaction.

Customer satisfaction, like all good but gassy things in the world,
has managers and CEOs tripping over one another to tell customers that
they are on top of the pile. We all know the Kotler ratios- the magic
numbers with regard to customer satisfaction:
Five: cost of getting a new customer/ cost of keeping an old one
Ten: The number of people a disgruntled customer will
complain/whine/crib to.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 52


Eighty: the percentage of dissatisfied customers that will abandon ship.
Four: the percentage of customers who will tell you when you mess up.

If you aren't the best at pleasing your customers, the numbers definitely
tend to work against you. So right now, the companies have decided that
the customer is at the "core" of a company's processes and practices.

Initially we had to have a company's "core process" defined. People first


said that it was manufacturing. So we wrote books telling everyone. We
taught it in college courses. "Operations" was the in thing to take. Then a
little while later they were like, "You know, I really think its marketing". So
we rewrote all our textbooks. We revamped our college courses.
Marketing dressed you for success. And now these guys turn around and
say, hey we were fooling you all this while, the core is the customer. The
core is you and I.

Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI)

The Customer Satisfaction Index represents the overall satisfaction


level of that customer as one number, usually as a percentage. Plotting
this Satisfaction Index of the customer against a time scale shows exactly
how well the supplier is accomplishing the task of customer satisfaction
over a period of time.

“While finance providers strive to provide good customer service to


consumers, the key to consumer financing satisfaction is focusing on fine-
tuning processes and procedures that reduce the need for consumers to
contact their finance provider.” [8]

The study identifies four factors that contribute to satisfaction with an


automotive finance provider. They are: the provider offering; the
application/approval process; the payment/billing process; and the
customer contact experience. While each factor influences finance

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 53


provider satisfaction, the payment/billing factor has the greatest impact
on how consumers rate their satisfaction, regardless of the type of
financing.

Customer satisfaction high in Car Industry

According to the findings of the 2010 four-wheeler total customer


satisfaction study released by leading market information provider, TNS,

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 54


the car industry continued to provide a high level of customer satisfaction
even when the customers had to wait to buy cars of their choice. The
SUV/MPV and Premium SUV segments even showed a little improvement
over the previous year. [10]

The 2010 four-wheeler Total Customer Satisfaction (TCS) study conducted


by TNS specialist division, TNS Automotive, is the largest syndicated
automotive study in India, representing the responses of around 9,300
new car buyers. This comprehensive study covers 56 models with
customer evaluations taken in the key areas of sales satisfaction, product
quality, vehicle performance and design, after sales service, brand image,
and cost-of-ownership. The TCS index score provides a measure of Total
Satisfaction and loyalty a given model enjoys with its customers.

Overall the industry score has largely remained the same (90), indicating
highly stable user relationships. However, some traditionally strong
models have seen a dip in scores this year. Interestingly, this year, two of
the first time evaluated models (as they have gained critical mass in the
market in their respective segments), emerged as the top ones
(Volkswagen Polo in Upper Premium Compact jointly with Maruti Swift and
Volkswagen Passat in Entry Luxury).

Rankings for the TCS study are done at the vehicle segment-level to
provide comparisons among similar groups of vehicles. Thus Volkswagen
has done well in the small car segment otherwise ruled by Maruti. They
are also beginning to compete with Honda in the bigger car segment. The
competition is getting intense is evident from the fact that in many of the
segments the scores are very close and there are joint toppers in a
number of segments.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 55


The models ranking highest in their respective segments for total
customer satisfaction are:

It's really easy!

Since making its maiden venture in the home loan segment in 1999,
ICICI Bank has been breathing down the neck of market leader HDFC, with
its aggressive marketing strategy. Quality and value-added service -
rather than interest rate - have been the hallmark of ICICI, with the
company capitalizing on the absence of `door delivery' for housing loans.
In a marked shift from the existing industry norms, ICICI carved a niche
for itself by going to the potential borrower rather than waiting for him to
come to them. Check out more information on the housing loans provided
by ICICI bank.

Note:

• The interest on the loan amount is calculated on monthly reducing basis


in the calculator.

• ICICI Bank, India’s largest private lender, has raised their deposit
rates by 50 basis points or 0.5% to 8.25% across different maturities.
The peak term deposit rate will be 9.25% for 590, 770 & 990 day
tenures. For present clients, it has increased the benchmark prime
lending rate by a similar percentage.

The high deposit rates would give better returns to savers. This
raise would increase the EMIs for home & auto loan. Apart from
personal loans, corporate loans will also become costly. The official
of ICICI Bank said that this increase in lending rates will not affect
the current fixed rate clients and their rates will remain same.

Crisil downgrades ICICI car loan portfolio
Defaults in a car loan portfolio of ICICI Bank have led to a
downgrade of securities issued against those loans. Crisil downgraded the
securitized pool of new car receivable originated by ICICI Bank from A (SO)
to BBB+ (SO). One of the instruments of the assignment transaction has
been downgraded. SO stands for structured obligation. [29]

“Crisil has downgraded its credit opinion on acquirer’s payouts,” a


statement from the rating company said. “The downgrade reflects weak
collection performance of the pool. This in turn has resulted in credit
collateral utilisation which was higher than Crisil’s expectation. A higher
utilisation of collateral has reduced protection available for future
acquirer’s payouts.”

ICICI Bank said that these were loans originated four years ago and the
sum involved in it tiny to its size.

“The instance of downgrade pertains to assignment of receivables backed


by auto loans originated by ICICI Bank,” an ICICI Bank spokesman said.
“The transaction was done in 2007 and the current outstanding in the
pool is only Rs 54 crore. The pool continues to be rated investment grade
(BBB+ SO).”

The rating was for a Rs 300 crore transaction then which has now fallen,
Crisis said.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 116


SAMPLING STRATEGY

1. Target Population
The Population consists of all customers desirous of financing their car
purchase through loans provided by ICICI bank.

2. Sample frame
The Sample frame consists of all customers visiting ICICI bank.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 117


3. Sampling Method
Probability sampling is used as the sampling frame is available,
population is homogeneous and population details are available.

4. Sampling Procedure
Simple random sampling
The population has different categories like people belonging to different
age groups, different income levels each have different perceptions of a
loan product depending upon their need. So we are using simple random
sampling.

5. Description of the Sample


The sample size of 130 collected by interviewing customers in various
part of Mumbai.

Determine Sample Size

The sample size is given by the formula,

n = (Z2*p*q)
E2

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 118


where,

p denotes probability of success = 0.3

q denotes probability of failure = 0.7

Z denotes standard normal variation = 1.96 (As confidence interval is


95%)

E denotes standard error = 8%

n denotes sample size = 126.05

Therefore we select a sample size of 130 respondents.

Data Analysis

Q1. What would be the price range of the Car you intend to purchase? (Rs.
In lakhs)

Table 1: Overview of the Sample Size

Price Range 1-5 lakhs lakhs lakhs

Survey Size 72 18 40

Source: Questionnaire

Chart 1: Survey Size

Interpretation

The sample size indicates a larger proportion (55%) of customers visiting


auto dealerships around Mumbai had a preference for cars within the
price range of Rs. 1-5 lakhs (Small Car segment).

The Mid Car Segment (14%) was preferred by customers at a price range
of Rs. 5-10 lakhs.

A small percentage of the sample size (31%) preferred the luxury car
segment for cars price above Rs. 10 lakhs.

Small Car Segment

The Small Car segment consists of cars within the price range of Rs. 1-5
lakhs. The total number of respondents in this segment was 72.

Q 3a.What type of Rate of Interest (ROI) facility do you prefer on your auto
loan deal?

Chart 3a: Rate of Interest

Interpretation:

The data clearly shows a preference for fixed rate of interest across all
age group categories (76%). The preference for a floating rate of interest
forms a small but substantial proportion (26%) among the age group of
18-30 years only. Among the older category of customers, this preference
is negligible.

This data indicates that the risk appetite of customers in the current
economic situation is low across all age group categories.

loan?

5 years. 25 % of customers had a preference for 3 years.

and affordable period for a loan tenor.

LIMITATIONS

1. Time Constraint: We had time constraints as being students, we


were involved in other assignments as well. Time for study on the
project is only 3 months.

2. Budget Constraint: We also faced a budget constraint as this


research is not sponsored by any organization and is meant for
academic purposes.

3. Geographical Constraint: We conducted the research only in


Mumbai. This also limited us to administer the research to a larger
survey.

4. Technology Constraint: The non-availability of the software for data


analysis also proved to be a limiting factor.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings of the Study

As observed from the summary of findings, 55% of respondents were


customers of small-cars, 31% preferred the mid-car segment and 14% of
respondents preferred the luxury car segment.

Small Car Segment:

1. About 76% of customers preferred the Fixed Rate of Interest. Floating


Rate was only popular among the 18-30years age group (26%).

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 139


2. 55% of customers preferred a loan tenor of 5 years while 41%
preferred a loan to value deal (LTV %) of 80-90%.

3. 64% of respondents had a favorable opinion of structured EMI payment


methods and responded positively if such customized payment
methods were offered.

4. Across all age groups 67% of respondents who chose structured


payments preferred the Step Down mode of payment while 22%
preferred the Bullet mode of payment.

5. A majority of respondents ranked the Interest rate as the most


important factor in selecting an auto loan.

Mid Car Segment

1. In the mid car segment (Rs. 5-10 lakhs), 80% of customers preferred a
fixed rate of payment while only 20 % were receptive towards floating
interest rates.

2. 65% of respondents preferred a loan tenor of 5 years and a LTV deal of


80-90%. 10% of customers had preferred an LTV deal of 90-100%
which was an increase from those who preferred the same in the small
car segment (8%).

3. 62.5% of respondents preferred the structured payment methods. The


younger groups of respondents (18-40 years) were more favorable
towards customized payment facilities which suited their needs
whereas the older groups of respondents were more averse to these
methods.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 140


4. In the Mid Car segment, respondents who preferred structured
payment methods, preferred the Bullet mode of Payment (44%) while
36% preferred the Step Down mode of payment.

5. Other than the Rate of Interest which was the ranked the most
important factor (78%), down payment, prepayment charges, loan
tenor and loan disbursement were ranked as important factors in
determining an auto loan.

Luxury Segment (Rs. 10 lakhs and above):

1. Customers in this segment preferred the fixed rate of payment

2. Only 67% of customers responded positively towards structured


payments.

3. Among the customers who preferred structured payments, Bullet


payment was the preferred mode of payment.

4. Loan tenor, LTV deal, and loan disbursement were important factors
selected after the Rate of Interest.
Due to the low number of respondents in the Luxury car segment
because of lack of availability of respondents and time constraint
factors, a more comprehensive analysis could not be obtained.

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 141


Conclusions:
• We can therefore infer that a majority of customers are still risk
averse while seeking a loan due to the current economic climate.

• Customers considered a 5 year loan period as the optimal period


for an auto loan

• The younger groups of respondents (18-30 years) were more


responsive towards a structured EMI payment method which
suited their needs whereas the older groups of respondents were
more averse and preferred a standardized EMI payment method.
Overall, structured payments were viewed favourably across all
age groups except respondents above 51 years of age.

• People across age groups preferred to have a lower credit


liability over the years. Although the Step Down mode of
payment meant a higher payment in the initial years, the gradual
reduction in EMI towards the end of the loan period was seen as
a major factor for the respondents to select this method of
structured payment.

• Customers were also looking for favorable down payment


charges, lower prepayment or foreclosure charges, loan tenor as
well as a quicker loan disbursement process

• The customers in middle segment were of a higher income group


and hence, preferred the Bullet mod of payment which suited
their needs. The Step Down mode of payment would have
resulted in a much higher initial payment period and hence was

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 142


not as preferred among respondents compared to the Bullet
mode of payment.

Step UP EMI means EMI stipulated taking into account the anticipated
increase in income over a period of time.

Step down EMI – If bulk payments are made during the currency of the
loan, EMI can be reworked for the remaining liability retaining the same
tenor.

Bullet payment EMI: A bulk amount is scheduled as an end payment that


is called the bullet payment. This helps the borrower to pay at his
convenience and arrange for a larger amount to clear off the debt right at
the end.

Rear End Balloon EMI: You have to pay the EMI at the end of each month.
Also known as Rear-Ended EMI

N.L.Dalmia Institute of Management Studies & Research Page 150


platform upon which a formalized research project can be built.
Exploratory research is used to assess the situation in hand with the
minimum cost and time possible. In this research project, we wanted to
first understand the role of ICICI Bank providing Auto loan to its existing
customers.

Descriptive Research:-

Descriptive research answers the questions who, what, where, when


and how. ICICI bank wanted to find out the satisfaction level of their
existing Account holders and what could be done to improve the
satisfaction level. For this reason, we designed a questionnaire which
would help us to gauge the customer’s response depending on various
Parameters that influence a customer’s satisfaction level.

HYPOTHESIS:

• Which factors influence the most while opting for Auto loans from a
particular bank.

• This will help us understand the perceptions I had previously and


how it has evolved.

Auto loan market.

• With more and more attractive car brands and models jostling for
the consumer’s attention, banks and financial institutions are
competing aggressively to offer the most customer-friendly loan
schemes.

• In this context, it is important to understand the consumer buying


behavior of auto loan customers.
