Vyapaar This business vertical is dedicated to meet the unique requirements of Small sized Shop-owners & Entrepreneurs. A national network of Vyapaar branches caters to this segment exclusively. India has a large self-employed population running small and basic businesses. When these businesses need financial support to grow and realize their full potential, the limited access to organized finance becomes a big retardant in their growth. For a country with India's depth, the next level of growth will come only if basic businesses (the mass market) graduate to the next level of empowerment and self-sufficiency. Fullerton India Vyapaar strives to improve the business and lives of the small business community. Our business is focused only on small establishments with a turnover of less than Rs.25 Mn per annum.

The key elements are as follows:

The business envisages setting up branches with employees dealing directly with the customers. This offering has elicited an enthusiastic response from our customers as it gives higher degree of transparency and faster value delivery. The relationship model includes a deep assessment of a customers' business resulting in an omnibus facility with a flexible combination of usage in parts, flexibility between a combination of short and long tenures, and from unsecured to partially secured and fully secured facilities. The facility set up for a customer is based on his risk profile, repayment capacity, as well as proposed expansion plan. A Relationship Officer is assigned to address incremental product needs, as well as for service requirements, through a process of continuous engagement. The business strives to deliver lifelong financing support and regular facility enhancement, based on business growth.

We understand that smaller customers do not create a distinction between personal borrowing and business borrowing; the facility is designed to cover both needs.

Businesses are built on people, and the company hires relevant local talent to serve the market, so that there is a connect between the employees and customers. The business wishes to bring a full service proposition encompassing loans and liabilities to the small business owners. Besides the variety of loans, life insurance has been introduced which will also be delivered through the branch based Relationship Officers. The business uses advanced technology tools to record customer history, and leverage track record to enhance credit exposure in line with the customer business cycle. This ensures continuous support through seasonal peaks. Value to customer

Read on for more details about our companys history. A Pioneering Beginning We started in the U.S. when Alexander Duncan founded Commercial Credit in 1912. Our company was a pioneer in the consumer finance industry. In 1916, we offered an installment loan program to help people purchase what was then an exciting new invention - the automobile. That led to the development of installment buying plans for home appliances and other consumer goods. Growing with America In the next decades, we acquired a major credit insurer and a casualty insurance company. In 1944, we organized an insurance unit that later became American Health & Life Insurance Company. In 1968, Commercial Credit became a wholly owned subsidiary of Control Data Corporation. Going Public Wall Street legend Sanford I. Weill assumed control of the operations of Commercial Credit in 1986 and took the company public. Within two years, the company acquired Primerica Corporation, the parent company of several investment, financial services and insurance firms, including the well-known Smith Barney. Joining the Travelers Group

In 1992, Primerica purchased 27% of Travelers Insurance, a company with one of the most recognizable logos in the U.S. - the red umbrella. Less than a year later, Primerica purchased the remaining 73% of Travelers, which later adopted the name Travelers Group. In subsequent years, Travelers Group acquired Shearson-Lehman's retail brokerage, Aetna's property and casualty business, Security Pacific Financial Services, and Salomon Brothers, creating the nation's third largest investment house - Salomon Smith Barney. The Creation of Citigroup In 1998, Travelers Group merged with banking powerhouse Citicorp to create Citigroup, a global financial services company serving 20 million customers worldwide. Citigroup's businesses include asset management, banking, credit and charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading. An International Company with A New Name In 1999, Citigroup purchased 128 offices of Texas-based Associates First Capital, giving us more than 1,400 offices in 45 states. We then turned our focus to Canada, buying Associates First Capital offices there. In September of that year, we changed our name to CitiFinancial to proudly recognize our affiliation with our parent company and to better reflect what we do today. In November 2000, we continued our growth with the acquisition of The Associates. As part of Citigroup, we continue to provide you with a full range of exceptional products and services to help you find a financial solution that's right for you. Citigroup is the world's most global financial services company whose other subsidiaries include: Citibank, Travelers Life & Annuity, Smith Barney and Primerica.

2. BARKCLAYS With a rich history dating back almost 300 years, Barclays plc has grown into one of the largest financial services groups in the United Kingdom. The company is involved in banking, investment banking, and investment management and operates 2,000 domestic branches and nearly 850 international branches in over 60 countries across the globe. Barclays is organized into seven business units: Barclays Africa; Barclaycard; Barclays Capital; Barclays Global Investors; Barclays Private Clients; and UK Banking. The company has over 4.5 million registered online bankers and over 10.6 million Barclaycard customers in the United Kingdom. In 2003, Barclays was the world's ninth-largest bank based on market capitalization. Early History Barclays takes it symbol, the spread eagle, from the Quaker goldsmithing and banking firm founded by John Freame in 1728. In 1736, James Barclay, Freame's brother-in-law, became a partner in the Black Spread Eagle. When two more of Barclay's relatives joined the firm

Silvanus Bevan in 1767 and John Henton Tritton in 1782the banking firm took the name by which it would be known for more than a century: Barclays, Bevan & Tritton. While fledgling joint-stock banks outside London struggled to establish themselves in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Barclays, Bevan & Tritton was still occupied with the wellestablished and highly lucrative commercial life of London. A series of legislative changes enacted in the late 19th century created a new banking climate that threatened the existence of private banks such as Barclays. First, the Bank Charter Act of 1826 allowed banks with more than six partners to be formed only outside London. In 1833, the geographical restriction was removed. Stockholders of new joint-stock companies were granted limited liability for the first time in 1854. Finally, in 1879, existing joint-stock associations were allowed to convert to a limited-liability structure. Mergers in Late 19th and Early 20th Centuries As a result of these legislative changes, provincial limited-liability joint-stock companies started picking off private banks. After lengthy negotiations, three of the largest Quaker-run banking firmsBarclays (which had become Barclays, Tritton, Ransom, Bouverie & Company after a merger in 1888), Jonathan Backhouse & Company, and Gurneys, Birkbeck, Barclay & Buxton, along with 17 smaller Quaker-run banks, agreed to merge and form a bank large enough to resist takeover attempts. Barclays took its modern form in 1896 when the 20 private banks merged to form Barclay and Company, Ltd., a joint-stock association with deposits totaling an impressive 26 million. This marked the beginning of Barclays' tradition of service to farmers and fishermen. Francis Augustus Bevan, grandson of Silvanus Bevan, served as the new bank's first chairman for 20 years. The company's structure and course, however, were directed for its initial 40 years by Frederick Crauford Goodenough, as first secretary, until 1917, and then as chairman after Bevan's retirement until his own death in 1934. Goodenough was the only chairman recruited from outside the original founding families until 1987. Recruited from the Union Bank of London, Good enough remained aloof from family controversies and quickly proved his merit. Goodenoughs first task was to meld the constituent banks into a single enterprise. He took a decentralized approach that was to be Barclays' hallmark for most of the 20th century. Each member bank was independently operated under the control of its own board of directors. Senior partners of the constituent banks were given a seat on the Barclays board. In this way, longstanding relationships between each member bank and its customers were maintained, and the new company took advantage of the knowledge and experience of its leaders. At the same time, Goodenough initiated a series of mergers which eventually made Barclays one of the largest banks in Great Britain. In its first 20 years, Barclays acquired 17 private

banks throughout England, including Woods and Company of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1897, Bolitho Bank in Cornwall, and United County Banks, its first joint-stock bank acquisition, in 1916. The bank's merger with the London, Provincial and South Western Bank in 1918 made it one of the Big Five British banks. During this period, Barclays merged with 45 British banks and its deposit base grew to 328 million. This era of banking amalgamations came to an end in 1919, when the Colwyn Committee recommended, and banking authorities unofficially adopted, limitations on previously unregulated bank mergers. The committee suggested that thenceforth the Bank of England and the treasury approve only those mergers that provided important new facilities to customers or secured significant territorial gains for larger banks. Mergers were no longer approved if they resulted in a significant overlap in the areas served by constituent banks without countervailing benefits to customers or if they would result in "undue prominence" for a larger bank. After the Colwyn Committee report, mergers were increasingly difficult to justify, and the consensus was that mergers among the Big Five would not be approved. 3.

ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

History ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indian financial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICI's shareholding in ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India in fiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal 2000, ICICI Bank's acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stock amalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE. After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmadabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April 2002. Consequent to the merger, the ICICI group's financing and banking operations, both wholesale and retail, have been integrated in a single entity.

Most

of the people are satisfied with the rate of interest charged and by

and it will avoid the increasing number of Non-performing asset and bad debts.

Customers are the main source of new ideas, and thus their suggestions

Suggestions

The following suggestions have been formulated on the basis of above study. These set of suggestions might help the Fullerton India to improve the quality of service regarding loan provisions and simultaneously these suggestions help the Fullerton India to tackle the competition prevailing in the market, thereby achieving success in the future. Firstly Fullerton India should create awareness among the common public about the various loan schemes of they are providing.. In order to create awareness regarding the loan schemes an electronic medium of media can put to use to advertise about the schemes and services provided by Fullerton India. This would help to change the attitude of the people regarding the Fullerton India. The interest rates should be regularly revised in order to attract more and more customer. Some new plans should be introduced regularly to cater the special needs of customer which provides them more offerings and benefits. New strategies should be made by the company which enables them to face the competition with other private leading Non Banking Financial companies. The company needs to focus more on providing value added services to its customer. This will create Brand loyalty among customer which indirectly attract more and more customer because a satisfied customer will always bring two more new customers. The management of company should be more efficient which enables in quick processing of the task regarding loans disbursement and loan collection, This will enable efficiency in the working capital cycle of the company. There should be customer relationship management concept in the company which help the company to understand the special need of customer. Accordingly company formulate schemes should be maintained. The Fullerton India need to concentrate on new target market by expanding its business through introducing new loan schemes and services. Currently the company is proving loans under main two category i.e Parivaar and vyapaar so, it looks limited. Therefore the company needs to introduce new schemes to enter in to new target market.
