Interpretation:
From the above graph it is clear that the respondents give good response regarding satisfaction level with bank.
Majority of the customers are aware of services and Eservices offered by HDFC Bank. But not all the services. Majority of the respondents are found the bank is average in maintaining the good customer relationship. The perception of the majority of the customer regarding the bank is good because majority of the customers are satisfied with the bank and they also recommend the products of the bank. The majority of the customers are satisfied with the dealing of the officials upto some extent. Main factor that attract customers towards bank is the services of the bank. Majority of the customers are satisfied with HDFC Bank.
More stress should give on the advertisement and promotional activities. The Bank should make some efforts to improving good relationship with customer. The bank should enhance their services according to the needs of the customer. The bank makes its procedures less time consuming. The bank should make effort to aware the customers about their all the E- services.
At the end I would like to conclude that The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2010. HDFC bank had a network of 1,142 branches And 3,295 automated teller machines in 528 cities in India.. The majority of customers are satisfied. But the bank should target on the rest of the customers who are not satisfied. The customers are aware about the banks services but the Bank should try to create more awareness among people. HDFC Bank should lay more stress on advertisements, both in print as well as in other media for this purpose. Number of formalities should reduce, as customer feels irritated with lots of formalities and it will save the time of customer and Bank also.
