services supplied by the company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as key performance

The banking industry in India has undergone changes since post-independence. Bank has also started
realizing that business depends upon client service and the satisfaction of the customer service and built up
relationship with customers.

BANK
“An establishment for the custody of money, which it pays out on a customer’s order.”
Banking Company in India has been defined in the Banking Companies Act 1949 as, “One which
transacts the business of banking which means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investments
of the deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand, or otherwise and withdrawable by
cheque, draft, order or otherwise.”
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from public and creates a demand deposit while
simultaneously making loans. It is also a financial intermediary that accepts deposit and channels those
deposits into lending activities. Banks also provide financial services such as wealth management,
currency exchange, and safe deposit boxes. The term bank is either derived from Old Italian word
“Banca” or from a French word “Banque” both mean a “Bench” or “Money Exchange Table”. In olden
days, European money lenders or money changers used to display (show) coins of different countries in
big heaps (quantity) on benches or tables for the purpose of lending or exchanging. A bank connects
customers that have capital deficits to the customers that have capital surpluses.
1.2. HISTORY OF BANKING IN INDIA
Banking in India has its own origin as early as the Vedic period. During the Mughal period, Indigenous
Bankers played a very important role in lending money financing foreign trade and commerce to carry
out the business.
The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786 till today,
This phase is characterized by the presence of a large number of banks (more than 600).
Banking system commenced in India with the foundation of Bank of Hindustan in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in
1770 which ceased to operate in 1832.
After that many banks came but were not successful like: (1) General Bank of India (1786-1791) (2) Oudh
Commercial Bank (1881-1958) – the rest commercial bank of India.
Whereas some are successful and continue to lead even now like:
Allahabad Bank (est. 1865)
Punjab National Bank (est. 1894)
Bank of India (est. 1906)
Bank of Baroda (est. 1908)
Central Bank of India (est. 1911)
While some others like Bank of Bengal (est. 1806), Bank of Bombay (est. 1840), Bank of Madras (est. 1843)
merged into a single entity in 1921 which came to be known as Imperial Bank of India. Imperial Bank of
India was later renamed in 1955 as the State Bank of India.
In April 1935, Reserve Bank of India was formed based on the recommendation of Hilton Young
Commission (set up in 1926).
In this time period, most of the bank were small in size and suffered from the high rate of failures. As a result,
public condence is low in these banks and deposit mobilization was also very slow. People continued to rely
on the unorganized sector (moneylenders and indigenous bankers).
PHASE 2: (from 1947 to 1991)
Broadly the main characteristic feature of this phase is the Nationalization of the bank.
With the view of economic planning, nationalization emerged as the effective measure. Need for nationalization
in India :
a) The banks mostly catered to the needs of large industries, big business houses.
b) Sectors such as agriculture, small-scale industries and exports were lagging behind.
c) The poor masses continued to be exploited by the moneylenders.
In the year 1959 1ST January RBI was nationalised.

Research methodology is the specific procedures or techniques used to identify, select, process, and analyze
information about a topic. In a research paper, the methodology section allows the reader to critically
evaluate a study's overall validity and reliability. The logic behind taking research methodology into
consideration is that one can have knowledge about the method and procedure adopted for achievement of
the objectives of the project undertaken. With the adoption of this others can evaluate the results too. Its
main aim is to keep researchers on the right track.

CHAPTER-7. CONCLUSION & SUGGESTION
According to the study I conducted people in Mumbai are more inclined towards
private banks due to their fast services and friendly staff, although this doesn’t mean they are
playing the banking game perfectly. Both of the banking sectors “public (BOB) and private
(ICICI)” have their own drawbacks. They need to make some changes cause the customers
now days are not only exposed of what type of service is being provided by banks in India
but in the world as a whole. They expect much more than what is actually being provided. So
the new coming banking sector has to provide and cater to all the needs of the customers
otherwise it is difficult to survive in the competition coming up. They not only expect the
safety of money but also best ways to invest that money which need needs to be fulfilled.
Banks need to have a better outlook towards to actually what customers are requiring. Entries
of the private sector banks have made the competition tougher. If a bank is not functioning-
properly it is being closed. Soo it is difficult to face these types of conditions. Here a simple
philosophy can work that the customers are God and we need to follow this to survive and
serve better.
The banking sector is poised for explosive growth. In this, scenario, it is imperative that
banks adopt technology at an aggressive Pace, if they wish to remain competitive. Mani
Mamallan makes a case for banks to outsource their technology infrastructure requirement,
thus enabling early adoption and increased efficiencies. In the prevailing scenario, a number
of banks have to adopt a new deployment strategy of infrastructure outsourcing, to lower the
cost-of-service channels. As a result, other banks too will need to align their reinvented
business models. The required changes at both the business and technology levels are
enormous. In a highly competitive banking markets, early adopters are profiting from
increased efficiencies.
