The above table shows that from the sample, the maximum number of respondents have started using HDFC bank from 1 4 years. Having a total percentage of 67.67%.This means that from last four years HDFC is growing and it has become more familiar to the public in private sector banking .But if you closely look at the pie-chart you can see the majority of the sample hold an account with HDFC only for an year. Question no 2: Tick the most widely used product by you among the following.

Page 76
According to the data collected, on which the mean/median / std deviation analysis was run using the SPSS tool , the median tends to indicate that the most widely used product in the sample size is SB/CA/Sal a/c . This is indicated in the mean/median table and the histogram .this being an ordinal scale median is the best measure.(refer to the histogram above) Here we can also check how gender influences the choice of a product using the SPSS toolCompare means.

From the above table it can be inferred that the score of the two means are approximately similar so gender does not quite influence the choice of the product. Though if you closely look at the distribution of the male and female sample collected you can see a considerable difference in the number but even that does not effect to the choice of the products made. We can also look at it from a different perspective, which is the ANOVA(Analysis of variance) H0: There is no significant difference between the two genders in choosing the product. Against H1: There is a significant difference between the two genders in choosing the product.

The analysis pertaining to Q4 , where in the mean = 4.14 and median = 5 , reveals that credit cards and SB/CA/Sal A/C are clearly preferred in HDFC . Also it means to suggest that the penetration of HDFC in this segment in much higher in the market . The data also suggests that the most SB/CA/Sal A/C users of HDFC bank prefer the same banks Credit Card . This
Page 80
also can be seen the HDFC has been successful in penetrating across the requirements of its customers instead of loosing some of its services to competitors . Question no 5: Basing on what parameters do you choose a product

My objective behind formulating this question was to find out whether the customers are happy with the features offered by HDFC Bank. So while having to do the analysis part we could analyze via the frequency tables. And my main motive was to find out the poor and the excellent scale on a 5 point scale. So the graph above gives us a study of only the poor and the excellent scale. So if you closely look at it you would see that the entire sample size of 100 are happy with the maturity and payment instructions. And also the excellent bar shows equal distribution o all the factors, forcing us to conclude that the customers are more or less happy with the FD as a product Question no 9: Rate on a scale of 5 the performance of HSL as a suitable room for investment

A similar interpretation like Q8,but here I have amalgamated all the scales from (1-5).Here we can see that service is the most important factor and the customers are not happy with the service provided by the loans department in HDFC occupying major chunk of the bar in the poor.And in the excellent and very god bar u can see the arte of interest and TAT occupying most of the area.So we can conclude saying the loans department need to work hard with the service they give to their customers.

Taking both these questions together and applying factor analysis we can narrow down to a set of few components which play a major role in the functioning of a savings account. FACTOR ANALYSIS
In principal components analysis and factor analysis one wishes to extract from a set of p variables a reduced set of m components or factors that accounts for most of the variance in the p variables. In other words, we wish to reduce a set of p variables to a set of m underlying super ordinate dimensions. These underlying factors are inferred from the correlations among the p variables. Each factor is estimated as a weighted sum of the p variables. The ith factor is thus Fi = Wi 1X 1 + Wi 2 X 2 + + Wip X p One may also express each of the p variables as a linear combination of the m factors, X j = A1 j F1 + A2 j F2 + + Amj Fm + U j Where, Uj is the variance that is unique to variable j, variance that cannot be explained by any of the common factors. FA simply reduces a set of p variables to m components or factors prior to further analyses on those m factors.
Extracting Principal Components
Page 93
From 9 variables we can extract 9 components. This will involve solving 9 equations with 9 unknowns. The variance in the correlation matrix is repackaged into 9 Eigen values. Each Eigen value represents the amount of variance that has been captured by one component Eigen values.
Each of the 9 variables variance is standardized to one. With 9 variables there is 10x1 = 9variance to distribute. The principal components extraction will produce 9 components which in the aggregate account for all of the variance in the 9 variables. That is, the sum of the 9 Eigen
values will be equal to 9, the number of variables. The proportion of variance accounted for by one component equals its Eigen value divided by 9.
Total Variance Explained Component 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Total 3.497 1.931 1.015 .672 .518 .440 .399 .293 .235 Initial Eigenvalues % of Variance 38.859 21.457 11.273 7.471 5.756 4.885 4.431 3.256 2.612 Cumulative % 38.859 60.316 71.589 79.060 84.816 89.701 94.131 97.388 100.000 Extraction Sums of Squared Loadings Total 3.497 1.931 1.015 % of Variance 38.859 21.457 11.273 Cumulative % 38.859 60.316 71.589
Deciding on how many components to retain rule of thumb is to retain only components with Eigen values of one or more. That is, drop any component that accounts for less variance than does a single variable. We can infer from the table that 3 components have Eigen values > 1 So there can be three factors or principal components. Total of 71.589% variation is explained by these four factors.

The entries in this matrix, loadings, are correlations between the components and the variables. Since the two components are orthogonal, these correlation coefficients are also X j = A1 j F1 + A2 j F2 + A3 j F3 + U j beta weights, that is, , thus A1 equals the number of standard deviations that Xj changes for each one standard deviation change in Factor 1. If we happen to look at the 1st component we can see that the factors which are positively loaded are the ones which are highly loaded among the three components. The variables loaded (positively) well on the first component, sweep-in facilityFD Features,Free ATM transactions, Service The second component is loaded by Net Banking and Payable at Par(PAP) cheque book.

Null hypothesis: H0: There is no correlation between the two variables (the age and the choice of products) Against H1: There is a significant correlation between the two variables (the age and the choice of products) The chi-square measures test the hypothesis that the row and column variables in a cross tabulation are independent . A low significance value (typically below 0.05) indicates that there may be some relationship between the two variables.So as our significant value is 0.16,which is not lower than the significant value we cannot say that there is a relation between the age and the choice of the product so we reject our null hypothesis. Question no 15:Rate on a scale of 5 the comfort zone of customers in using a HDFC product.

Sig indicates the significance level of the F-test. Small significance values (<.05) indicate group differences.Hence if u look at the significance vakue in the table you can see that the value is greater than(0.05) which shows that there is no group difference between the two samples(1825yrs & 25-35yrs).

Yet a different way to analyze the competition of HDFC bank with the other competitors in the market. Through this question I wanted to see which is the other bank that the HDFC users prefer so that I could conclude a specific bank and tell the HDFC to use a particular strategy where it could over come its loop holes. And with a combined effect of age with this question we can figure out which target group to use which strategy to survive the competition. So in this case you can see out of a sample size of 101 SBI has a frequency of 36 with ICICI being second having a count of 29. The spread of HDFC Bank in the corporate sector (private&public)
This is the study of the various sectors tapped by HDFC bank in the city .All the sectors are broadly categorized into 5 categories below. The column chart would help us understand where and in which sector the bank is doing good.(Refer to the Excel in the Annexure).We even have a segregation of all the various products that the corporates hold with HDFC bank. A product wise bifurcation is shown in the excel sheet.(Refer to the Annexure) CSRM Products.xls

The graph above shows us that the HDFC has been successful in spreading across all the central government sector. This tell us that this bank has been able to tap the important sector with a 46.60% with the pharmaceutical companies following the trend with a 25%
RECOMMENDATIONS More number of ATMs in the city . More aggressive sale is needed for professors, lecturers, and staff members who the best customer of savings accounts. A Special students' savings account with AQB of fewer amounts could be launched Savings account for working professionals and self employed youths could be started with facilities like free registration in top business consultancies, job consultancies, hassle-free personal loans, free demat account and discounted membership in some reputed clubs. Ensure the best after sale services by replacing the faulty ones immediately after getting complain. A group promotional activity aiming, encouraging card holder to use their card to its fullest should be undertaken. The timings of the bank to be extended from 8a.m to 8p.m. With every purchase, card holders be awarded with some credit points and on the end of every quarter , special gifts should be given or discount offers on some items produced by some company can be given, which will be sponsored by the producer, the shopkeeper and the banker. There should be no hidden charges and to be explained when demanded for.
LIM1TATIONS OF THE RESEARCH Survey was only conducted in VISAKHAPATNAM Only 101 questionnaires were filled in different age and occupation groups due to time constraint. Combining question 1 and 2 it becomes obvious that most people are satisfied about the SB/CA /Sal A/C of HDFC. The interpretation doesnt reveal the satisfaction of other products. Since 70% of my sample are Sal A/C holders so its wrong to conclude that very few people use FD, Mutual Fund, Dmat. Since my study did not include the income of the people I was not able to categorize the use of the product with the income group and study if any correlation existed.
Swot Analysis.
SWOT ANALYSIS In applying the SWOT analysis it is necessary to minimize or avoid both weaknesses and threats of HDFC bank. Weaknesses should be looked at in order to convert them into strength. Like wised, threat should be converted into opportunities. Lastly, strengths and opportunities should be matched to optimize the potential of HDFC bank. Strength: Low average loan to value ratio & debt averse nature of borrowers. Growth in urban market/ salaried class & Quality of underwriting. Strong Brand - customer base of over 2million. The bank has the power attorney of the client and executes on his/her behalf once it gets written instructions from its clients. It offers custodial services which will include services such as receiving dividend of shares and other entitlements such as buyback proposals. Customers dont have to worry about tracking dividends of companies or subscribing to buybacks. No threshold limit for offering its services. Cash of Rs. 100000 delivered at your doorstep Offers free Gold International Debit card, a free International Titanium card or a free international Gold Credit card. It offers e-broking Free standing instructions available only in HDFC Bank. Avail of locker at just 50 % of the annual fee. Preferential pricing for loan against securities, home loans. As a preferred customer you are entitled to a waiver of up to Rs. 2000 per annum on a host of service charges like Demand Draft/ Managers Cheque charges
Inter-branch funds charges Stop payment charges Cheque return/collection charges DD cancellation charges Hold mail charges Duplicate statement charges Certificate of balance charges Recovery of old records charges FIRC charges . Weakness: Charges customers on the various services it offers. The bank does not charge any fixed fees, it earns commission on the products the customer buys. Cash withdrawal limit up to Rs. 25000/day. Door step banking available only twice a month and only in metros. Does not provide 24 hours banking transactions by phone. Does not provide 365 days of banking transactions Not so focusing more on rural areas.
Opportunity
Growth in demand-driven by improved affordability Rising disposable income Affordable interest rates Generally stable property prices Fiscal incentives on both interest and principal repayments. Increasing urbanization & Increased network of outlets. Can target to the small investors not only in urban areas but also to the rural area. Can Provide a zero balance savings account to the customers
Can provide the interest on deposits as provided by the co-operatives Can trap the students segment by providing a very low AQB or Zero balance.
HDFC Bank can have a professional savings account with the following benefits.
Free registration in reputed consultancies. Easy personal loan, car loans, to the account holder.
A Dmat account free with every current & savings accounts (without any registration fee
and stamp fee)
Free membership facility to the top rated club members in India.

Threats Competition from other banks is very high . Some banks provide 24 hour banking transaction over phone. Some banks provide transactions for 365 days.
Less number of branches as compared to others. As third party cash deposits is not accepted there is a fear that HDFC bank may loose
some customers.
A Comparative Study Among the Emerging Commercial Banks
Indian banking sector: Is it on the right track? Performance indicators Commonly-used measures to asses the performance of the banking sector are: Return on Asset (ROA), Operating Profit Ratio (OPR), Net Interest Margin (NIM), Operating Cost Ratio (OCR) and Staff Expenditure Ratio (SER). The first-two are generally considered profitability measures, while the others, the efficiency indices. Overall performance improvement A comparison of performance indices that the reform measures helped to improve the overall performance of industry. This is reflected in the improvement of all performance indicators barring the net interest margin. Interestingly, the ROA, treated as a proxy for risk-adjusted return, increased from (-) 0.28 percent in the pre-liberalization period to 0.79 percent (against more than 1 percent in other merging markets such as Singapore , Malaysia and Korea) postliberalization ,indicating a significant rise in the ability of banks to convert their assets into net earnings. Another interesting aspect is that despite a marginal fall in the net interest margin from 2.84 to 2.73 ( which might be due to policy change) , the banking industry has managed to improve its OPR by increasing its non-interest fee-based income and reducing its operating costs/staff expenses. The evidence indicates that after the reform initiation period, the banks have increasingly been providing off balance sheet items such as derivatives, which generate major part of non-interest income. The proportion of operating cost/staff expenses has declined mainly due to computerization and the voluntary retirement scheme. Apart from the overall improvement across the board, another important criterion to evaluate the success story is to check whether the competitive force has led to
any convergence in the performance of different ownership groups in the postliberalization period. Exposure to the competitive forces is often argued as a panacea to shake poorly performing banks out of their slumber. Although the public banks compared poorly with private banks during the initial period , they made a significant improvement in the latter period by responding well to the new challenges of competition and
consolidation , mostly following a gradual and cautious approach . The pay off is well reflected in the increase in their ROA, OPR and NIM. Some possible reasons for the better performance of public banks could be They still undertake most of the government borrowing programmers, thereby generating significant fee based income; The market discipline imposed by the listing of most public sector banks has also probably contributed to this improved performance; and The reform measures have changed their business strategies particularly greater diversification of non-fund based business and emergence of treasury and foreign exchange business. The study reveals that the OPR across four ownership groups tend to converge. The NIM tends to converge across private and public sectors while the OCR continues to remain significantly different across ownership groups.
Conclusion.
Conclusion The SWOT analysis shows the competitive strategy of HDFC bank especially in widening its networks, continuous up gradation of technology (Fine wire by i-flex) for reduction in OCR and its specific geographical(Rural banking),demographical strategy will bring to serve as a best bank in India. The Competitor Analysis show that it has to focus more to increase its NIM. The percentage of net IPA and capital adequacy ratios are very good relative to its competitors. The survey throws light on various Issues that the customer faces in the market. Analyzing the findings it can be said that good customer relationship raises awareness among the people. There are tough competitions and thus there exists a lot of room to improve so as to become the market leader from all aspects. The only thing is the making of and implementation of the proper strategy in the best effective way. By understanding the steps of competitors before they were implemented is the way lead to the market. The HDFC Bank believes in adopting and adhering to the best corporate governance practices and continuously benchmarking itself against each such practices in the industry. The Bank understands and respects its fiduciary role and responsibility to shareholders and strives hard to meet their expectations. I believe that the best board practices. Transparent disclosures and
shareholder empowerment are necessary for creating shareholder value. The cardinal principles such as independence, Accountability, responsibility, transparency ,fair and timely disclosures, credibility serve as the means for implementing the philosophy of corporate governance in letter and in spirit. The banks employees are very friendly among their coordinates and also to their customers.
