1. Introduction

Banks are considered as the prime source of formal finance and it is an indispensable
part of economy of a country. Bankers are considered as the curators of public money who
have the responsibility of channelizing this money towards viable projects conceived by
entrepreneurs. The spread retained as margin acts as income for the banking sector. Though,
keeping safe detention of public money is the primary responsibility of banks however
ensuring ample money supply in the system for credit creation leading to economic growth is
also their area of concern. Finance is akin to life blood in a human body which is required in
adequate quantity for human survival and growth. Likewise, the existence of any firm is
threatened if it does not have sufficient money supply at the time of need. Activities of the
commercial banks in India are expanding at a rapid space during the period after
Independence. There is territorial as well as functional. Expansion of the activities of the
bank. Banks which are conservative and conventional in their approach have come out from
their shell and face the challenges of planned economic growth. In recent years’ non-
conventional sectors are receiving the attention of commercial banks in India.
A better understanding of the implications of financing non-conventional sector by
commercial banks is possible only if one looks back the position of commercial banks during
the per-nationalization era banking in India before nationalization. Commercial Banks are
the institutions that ordinarily accept deposits from the people and advances loans. The
banking sector in India comprises of banks big and small, public, private, old and new, viable
and nonviable. There are wide diversities’ in their sizes, organizational patterns geographical
presence and functional specialization. India commercial banks operate both in urban and
rural areas and foreign banks function in cities and ports. Banking system plays a very
important role in the economic development of a country. Commercial banks are having
loans shares in total banking operation in our nation. Commercial banks are the oldest
institution having wide network of business. They keep the wheels of economy moving
progressively by supplying money for trade commerce industry and home banks provide
financial assistance to small scale and large industries. Banks today are the back bone of
modern industry. They are assistance part of the society. Just part of our lives, but have a
significant role in our daily lives. Banks always try to adopt latest technologies to enhance
customer experience. Digitization is not an option for banking industry, rather it is inevitable.

implementation of demonetization, leads the government to implement digital transactions.


Digitization is the process of converting data into digital format. Digitization means the
adoption of technology. The main objective of the government of India is make 25 billion
digital transactions through multiple facilities. Digitization of banking requires platforms like
Unified Payment Interface (UPI), Adhara Pay, Debit Cards and Immediate Payment Service
(IMPS). With the surge in transaction volumes in the global and local markets the customers
have also started adapting and preferring non-conventional ways of banking (Digital
Banking) over traditional banking. An automated delivery of various banking service
products without any direct participation of banks’ employees using either electronic
machines or technology or internet at anytime and anywhere is called Digital Banking.
The new innovative digital technologies and futuristic thought processes have given
birth to whole new businesses and social dimensions. Make in India and Digital India is now
the buzzwords to a bright and sustainable industrial and financial progress of our nation.
Digital banking provides solutions to bankers for their short term and long term business and
technological requirements. The digital India is the Indian government’s flagship program
with a vision to convert India into a digitally empowered country. Faceless, paperless,
cashless is requirement of India government. Registration, Invoicing, Payment selection,
Payment confirmation are the important phases of digital payment system. This generally
includes three electronic payment instruments like, cash, cheque and card. Digital banking is
a new concept in the area of electronic banking. Before the emergence of the concept of
digital banking, electronic banking was being referred to as internet banking or e-banking.
There were a few more indirect banking channels like ATM's, phone-banking, mobile
banking etc. However, their aim was to cover only basic banking service through electronic
banking.
However, digital banking is very wide concept and it covers all possible banking
service and all alternate banking channels like Automated Teller Machines (ATM), Point of
Sale (POS), Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, Banking through Application, Phone

internet availability throughout the nation, the country recorded over 25.5 billion real-time
payment transactions in 2020 (highest in the world) exceeded china by 60 %.

banking. To identify the level of customer satisfaction by the usage of Digital Banking
Services. To identify the problems are faced by the customers in Digital Banking Services.

services, It also help banks to know whether the existing products or services they are
offering are really satisfying the customers’ needs.
Benefits of digital Banking Advancing to a more technologically sophisticated way
of doing things, it goes without saying that the benefits long outweigh the costs. Similarly,
digital banking as a technological by-product aims to make life easier for the customers of a
bank. Digital banking has the following benefits, Digital banking enables consumers to
perform banking functions from the comfort of their homes, be it an elderly person who is
tired of waiting in lines or a working-class professional who is caught up with work, or a
regular person who does not want to visit the bank’s branch to run a single errand. It also
offers convenience. Elaborating on the convenience offered, digital banking lets a user carry
out banking work around the clock, with 24*7 availability of access to banking functions.
One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional banking was the overly placed importance on
paper. Banking has become paperless with the development of digital banking as a service. A
user can log into their account at any point in time to monitor records. Digital banking
allows a user to set up automatic payments for regular utility bills such as electricity, gas,
phone, and credit cards. The customer no longer has to make a conscious effort of
remembering the due dates. The customer can opt for alerts on upcoming payments and
outstanding dues.
Online shopping has become a cakewalk with payment channels becoming well-
integrated with the online shopping portals. Internet banking has significantly contributed to
online payments. Digital banking extending services to remote areas is seemingly a step
toward holistic development. With smartphones at affordable prices and internet access in

remote areas, the rural population can make the most out of digital banking services. Digital
banking-enabled fund transfers reduce the risk of counterfeit currency. With the help of
digital banking, a user can report and block misplaced credit cards at the click of a button.
This benefit greatly strengthens the privacy and security available to a bank’s customer. By
promoting a cashless society, digital banking restricts the circulation of black money as the
Government can keep a track of fund movements. In the long run, digital banking is
expected to lower the minting demands of a currency.

major parameter for evaluating banking sector performance from the shareholder’s point of
view. It is for the banks to strike a balance between commercial and social objectives. They

the list in terms of net profitability. Private sector banks earn higher non-interest income than
public sector banks, because these banks offer more and more fee based services to business
houses or corporate sector. Thus there is urgent need for public sector banks to provide such
services to stand in competition with private sector banks.

pays out on customer’s order”

According to H L Hart a Bank is “one who in the ordinary course of his business
honourscheques drawn upon his by persons from and for whom he receives money on
current account banking regulation act 1949 defines banking as “accepting for the purpose of

2.3 Features of bank

1) Deals with money

The Main Features of a bank is that it deals with all the money-related transactions.
For example, you can deposit your money in a bank account to save it securely, and you will
also get interested in the money that you will save in the account Therefore, it is the easiest
way to increase your money without putting it at any risk. Moreover, if you need the money,
then you can borrow it from the bank at a certain interest. For example, you can borrow
money from the bank to pay your tuition fees as well as you can also borrow money from the

2) Provide loans
Banks make extra money by providing loans for different products to the loan. The
bank makes the extra money by lending money to the eligible person at certain rates.
Nowadays, banks provide loans for various requirements such as study loan, car loan, home
loan, personal loans, etc. Different banks provide different loans at different interest rates.
You can compare the interest rates of different banks to get a loan at minimum interest rates.

3) Identity
As I told you, there are various banks which provide loans at different interest rates.
Therefore, each bank has a different name which helps the people to identify it easily and to
differentiate with other banks. Even though the basic services provided by all banks are the
same, but each bank tries to provide different interest rates and better services to attract more
and more customers. Therefore, each bank uses a unique bank name and unique tag line to
sell their services.

4) Withdrawal and payment facilities


A Bank provides various payment and withdrawal services to customers so that they
can receive their money hassle-free. Customers can withdraw money using cheques and
drafts and also from the ATMs installed by the banks at different locations in the city. They
can withdraw money using the debit cards provided by the bank the card is directly linked
with the bank and customers can withdraw money anywhere in the world without going to
the bank and even without carrying their passbook.

5) Internet services
Another feature of a Bank is that modern banks are also providing internet services.
The development of the internet and its inclusion in the banking sector has made it even
more easy for people to carry out various transactions. Banks are providing online services

6) Business
The only work of banking is not to provide banking services to customers. All banks
are involved in the subsidiary businesses to make more money. Their sole responsibility to
provide maximum satisfaction to their customers and to provide them maximum interest
rates so that more customers do banking with them. The money is passed from one hand to
another to make a profit.

7) Increasing functionality
Like other industries banking sector is also focused on enhancing their functionality.
Banks have developed from just providing money lending and cash deposit and withdrawal
services to providing loans and credit to cashless bank services to internet and mobile
banking. It is one of the fields which are growing fastest. It will not be wrong to assume that
banks will be providing more services in the future in addition to internet banking and
mobile banking and people’s dependency on the cash will reduce to almost zero percent.

8) Branches at different locations


Also, the features of a bank include services to its customers wherever they live in the
whole world. Most banks are opening their branches the rural part of the country to connect
people with the banks and to gain more profit. People are not required to travel miles like
the old times to do banking. They can visit the nearest branch to them. Each bank is opening
more and more branches with the increase in the population so that they can satisfy their
customers properly by being near to them.

9) Bank can be a company or an individual providing banking services


Usually, when you hear about the word bank, you think about a large place where
many people are working and dealing with the money transactions. But it is not wrong to say
that a bank can be large organization consists of hundreds of people or it can be a unit
managed by a single person.

10) Commercialized
All the banking services are taking place with a single AIM to make money. You
might feel perplexed how bank money by managing others money. But this is the key. We
hand over our money for a small interest on the money deposited by us.

b) State Co-operative Banks
c) Urban Co-operative Banks
The term Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs), though not formally defined, refers
to primary cooperative banks located in urban and semi-urban areas. These banks, till
1996, were allowed to lend money only for non-agricultural purposes. This distinction
does not hold today. These banks were traditionally centered around communities,
localities work place groups. They essentially lent to small borrowers and businesses.
Today, their scope of operations has widened considerably.

The origins of the urban cooperative banking movement in India can be traced to
the close of nineteenth century when, inspired by the success of the experiments related to
the cooperative movement in Britain and the cooperative credit movement in Germany
such societies were set up in India. Cooperative societies are based on the principles of
cooperation, - mutual help, democratic decision making and open membership.
Cooperatives represented a new and alternative approach to organisaton as against
proprietary firms, partnership firms and joint stock companies which represent the
dominant form of commercial organization.

b) State Co-operative Banks


The Maclagan Committee emphasized the importance of establishing these
banks, recommending the establishment of a provincial cooperative bank capable of
attracting deposits from the urban classes and channeling them to the agricultural sector
via district central banks. State cooperative banks are the apex institutions in the state's

three-tier cooperative credit structure. There is a state cooperative bank in every state.

and thus participates in rural finance. They serve as balancing centers for central
cooperative banks by making available surplus funds from some central cooperative
banks. They finance, control, and supervise the central cooperative banks and, through
them, the primary credit societies.

2.5 Reserve Bank of India RBI

History RBI

The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of the


country. Central banks are a relatively recent innovation
and most central banks, as we know them today, were
established around the early twentieth century. The
Reserve Bank of India was set up on the basis of the
recommendations of the Hilton Young Commission. The
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 (II of 1934) provides
the statutory basis of the functioning of the Bank, which
commenced operations on April 1, 1935.

The Bank was constituted to


* Regulate the issue of banknotes

* Maintain reserves with a view to securing monetary stability and

* To operate the credit and currency system of the country to its advantage.

The Bank began its operations by taking over from the Government the functions
so far being performed by the Controller of Currency and from the Imperial Bank of
India, the management of Government accounts and public debt. The existing currency
offices at Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Rangoon, Karachi, Lahore and Cawnpore (Kanpur)
became branches of the Issue Department. Offices of the Banking Department were

“A study on customer perception and satisfaction Towards of Services Provided
by AXIS BANK (with special References To Shivamogga City) ”

established in Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Delhi and Rangoon. Burma (Myanmar) seceded
from the Indian Union in 1937 but the Reserve Bank continued to act as the Central Bank
for Burma till Japanese Occupation of Burma and later up to April, 1947. After the
partition of India, the Reserve Bank served as the central bank of Pakistan up to June
1948 when the State Bank of Pakistan commenced operations. The Bank, which was
originally set up as a shareholder's bank, was nationalized in 1949.An interesting feature
of the Reserve Bank of India was that at its very inception, the Bank was seen as playing
a special role in the context of development, especially Agriculture. When India
commenced its plan endeavors, the development role of the Bank came into focus,
especially in the sixties when the Reserve Bank, in many ways, pioneered the concept and
practice of using finance to catalyze development. The Bank was also instrumental in
institutional development and helped set up institutions like the Deposit Insurance and
Credit Guarantee Corporation of India, the Unit Trust of India, the Industrial
Development Bank of India, the National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development,
the Discount and Finance House of India etc. to build the financial infrastructure of the
country. With liberalization, the Bank's focus has shifted back to core central banking
functions like Monetary Policy, Bank Supervision and Regulation, and Overseeing the
Payments System and onto developing the financial markets.

Role of RBI (RBI as a Regulator)

credit system and currency of the country to its own advantage.
o To prior to the RBI, the government of India and the Imperial Bank of India were
unable to control the Indian financial system by keeping it in check.
o To Therefore, a committee led by the Hilton and young commission in 1935,
shifted the entire financial system to the RBI.
o To so, the primary target for RBI was to control and regulate the various financial
policies and help in the development of the banking facilities throughout India. The

2.14 Roles of Axis bank (in all India banks)

1. The Source of Funds:

The banks are financial institutions which mobilize funds from public and accept
as deposits. Since banking companies remain under the strict observation of so many
banking regulations of Government and the Reserve Bank of India, people have faith in
banks and they keep their savings or surplus money with them for their future needs. In
order to collect more and more deposits different banks, introduce many types of deposit
schemes to attract the customers. However, no deposit scheme can be formulated out of

Akshara Institute of Management Studies, Shivamogga Page 51


“A study on customer perception and satisfaction Towards of Services Provided
by AXIS BANK (with special References To Shivamogga City) ”

the frame of allowed banking business. Banks also pay interest on the deposits as per the
policy of the bank under the guidelines of RBI.

2. Banks Help Develop Industry and Trade: A major portion of bank deposits is
utilized for grant loans to Industry and business houses big or small, Banks provide loans
for new industries, for expansion and diversification of existing industries and for any
type of business which is permitted as per banking regulations. It may be noted that banks
are prohibited to provide loans for speculative activities.

3. Financial Assistance to Agriculture: The agriculture field is a special field for


which government and RBI provide specific guidelines to banks for extending financial
help to Farm and Agricultural lending. As much as certain targets are fixed for banks in
the matter of Agricultural lending. The agriculture has been treated as a Priority Sector
and all the banks are required to lend a specified percentage of their net credits for
priority sector. The priority sector has been discussed in detail in a relevant portion of this
book.

4. Financial Help to General Public: The banks take do care of financial needs of
general public as well. Different banks prepare many types of schemes for giving loans to
common man. Although these schemes differ from bank to bank but their main thrust
revolves round a) Housing Loan Schemes, b) Education Loan, c) Consumer loans like Car
Loan d) Personal loan etc.

5. Financial Intermediation: For discussing the intermediator role of a bank we


shall have to understand what is intermediation? It is one who acts a go-between or a
mediator, a middleman, an agent, a broker. This meaning of intermediation is what that
has been explained in the Banking Dictionary by F.E. Perry. From this we derive that the
act of intermediation is that of a middleman.

(i) Risk of Intermediation: The intermediately role of banks involves certain risks
also. It is established fact that individuals (depositors) themselves will perhaps not lend
their money directly to any borrower and therefore banks use depositors’ money for
giving loans. In certain cases, there may be chances that the banks do not get the
repayment of loan given by them by the default of the borrower.

(ii) Liquidity Risk: For any reason if the repayment of a loan amount is not forthcoming it
adversely affects the liquidity position of banks. The intention of the borrower may be
good but the basis fact is he is not repaying the loan amount in time and therefore bank
has to bear the burden of the gap amount not received back by it.

6. Trust, Liquidity, Safety:


In fact, Banking is a Business of Trust, Liquidity, Safety, Secrecy and profitability.
In order to create a trust among the people and to retain it banks have to adhere to certain
banking regulations and certain principles for conducting their business.

7. Provides Information to Credit Reference Agencies:

In order to prevent credit frauds and financial health of customer’s certain


information is required by credit reference agencies which they obtain from bank

8. Service Quality—Customer Service:


When we talk about the quality of services it not only banks but every business
entity must keep the customer quality at top of their priorities. Some business houses
prominently display on their business premises “CUSTOMERSERVICE IS OUR
MOTTO”. Even Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings guide us that the customer is our God. It is
therefore clear that banks must maintain high level of customer services particularly when
banking is essentially a transaction-oriented business that too transactions relating to
money and finance where no laxity is tolerated by customers. While dealing in financial,
transactionsone needs a trusted, transparent and pleasant way of dealing. Customers
require a friendly, comfortable and congenial ambience.

9. Liquidity:

What is liquidity? It is an immediate capacity to meet one’s financial commitments.


The degree of liquidity depends upon the relationship between a company’s cash assets
plus those assets which can be quickly turned into cash, and the liabilities awaiting
payments, an ability to turn certain assets into the form of cash. Banks are required to
keep adequate balance between a bank invested funds (assets) and its financial resources
(liabilities).
