With respect to the Cachar District, the PSU Banks are more
preferred as compared to Private Banks.

The main factors which influence the customers of Cachar district
according to our study are Trust/Reliability and Location of the
branch.

The main problems faced by the customers in PSU banks are
unfriendly behaviour of the staff towards them also the services
provided to them are not quick enough.

The main problems faced by the customers in Private Banks
trust/reliability and location of the branch.
FOR PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

Bank staff should be customer friendly and highly motivated to serve the normal customers.

As far as possible the bank should reduce the documentation process while providing loan.

Computerization should be done in banks at all levels and the operators should be properly
trained.

Token system should be introduced so as to reduce the waiting line in the bank.

Proper ambience in the banks can develop a healthy work culture.

Should be flexible in providing interest of the deposited money.

Quick services should be provided.

FOR PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

24 hours banking should be introduced so as to facilitate the customers who dont
have time in day time or week days.

More ATM coverage should be provided for convenience of the customers.


Should reduce the amount while opening a new saving bank account.

Should maintain a proper recruitment policy like the PSU to attract genuine talent to
work for the customers. Rather than recruiting on internal recommendation they
should follow the IBPS for recruitment to get better talent and better services from
their employees.


Should enhance the number of branches in rural areas to attract more customers.

Should advertise extensively regarding their operations and services to garner faith in
them.

FROM THE ABOVE STUDY WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THE
PEOPLE OF CACHAR DISTRICT HAVE MORE FAITH ON PSU
BANKS RATHER THAN PRIVATE BANKS.


THE MAIN BANKS OF THESE REGION ARE UBI AND SBI.


IN ORDER TO GRAB THE MARKET THE PRIVATE BANKS
HAVE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BRANCHES AND
ENHANCE THE TRUST FACTOR IN THEM.
