SUGGESTIONS TO THE BANK
Bank should educate its customers about its terms and conditions clearly. Bank
shouldnt involve any hidden policy while dealing with customers.
J&K bank should follow its policies in a strict manner.
Perception of married customers towards tangibility of products is good, while
that of unmarried customers is low. J&K bank should make its products and
services more appealing to its unmarried customers as they are the active
spenders.
Perception of male customers towards products and services of J&K bank is
good, while that of female customers, in comparison to male customers isnt so
significant. Thus J&K should offer more services and products that appeal to
female customers.
J&K bank should establish single window operating system. Customers feel
inconvenience while going through lengthy procedures of bank.

The study was restricted to J&K bank customers only.
The study is restricted to corporate customers residing in Jammu region
only.
Considering the size of population that we have, the sample size that we
have taken is very small.
Due to human behavior, element of subjectivity is present.
Data given by the respondents are limited to their own attitude, perception,
knowledge, feeling and awareness. So generalization of this research work
isnt possible.




LIMITATIONS OF THE RESEARCH
FUTURE SCOPE:

This research work can be extended by taking into
consideration larger sample size, so that results can be
generalized.
Other banks can be included (HDFC,ICICI,PNB etc.)
Perception of private bank customer and public bank customer
could also be compared.
Perception of bank employees towards banks and services
could also be included.
Perception of customers residing outside J&K and using J&K
bank services could be taken into consideration.
