1.1.4 Shareholding and Liquidity (till Dec31,2012):State Bank of India (SBI) is sitting on excess liquidity to the tune of Rs 70,000-80,000 crore which is an indication of slower demand for loan in the economy. Indicating this, SBI chief Pratip Chaudhuri said that the bank has seen robust growth in deposit mobilisation while demand for loan is lukewarm. It may be recalled that the excess liquidity to the tune of Rs 70,000 crore ways back in 2009 had prompted the former chairman O P Bhatt to launch home loan at a fixed rate of 8% for first year - a scheme which was later termed as teaser scheme and disapproved by the Reserve Bank of India

1.1.5 Key Areas of Operations:-

1.1.6 History:The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921. Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernise India's economy.

Page 4

1.1.7 Establishment:-

The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, jointstock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras.

Group Photograph of Central Board (1921)

1.1.8 Business:The business of the banks was initially confined to discounting of bills of exchange or other negotiable private securities, keeping cash accounts and receiving deposits and issuing and circulating cash notes. Loans were restricted to Rs. one lakh and the period of accommodation confined to three months only. The security for such loans was public securities, commonly called Company's Paper, bullion, treasure, plate, jewels, or goods 'not of a perishable nature' and no interest could be charged beyond a rate of twelve per cent. Loans against goods like opium, indigo, salt woollens, cotton, cotton piece goods,

Page 5

mule twist and silk goods were also granted but such finance by way of cash credits gained momentum only from the third decade of the nineteenth century. Indians were the principal borrowers against deposit of Company's paper, while the business of discounts on private as well as salary bills was almost the exclusive monopoly of individuals Europeans and their partnership firms. But the main function of the three banks, as far as the government was concerned, was to help the latter raise loans from time to time and also provide a degree of stability to the prices of government securities.

1.1.10 SWOT analysis:-

Strength:

SBI is the largest bank in India in terms of market share, revenue and assets. As per recent data the bank has more than 13,000 outlets and 25,000 ATM centres The bank has its presence in 32 countries engaging currency trade all over the

world

Weaknesses:

Lack of proper technology driven services when compared to private banks Page 7

Employees show reluctance to solve issues quickly due to higher job security and

customers waiting period is long when compared to private banks

The banks spends a huge amount on its rented buildings

Opportunities:

Mergers will result in expansion of market share to defend its number one

position

SBI is planning to expand and invest in international operations due to good

inflow of money from Asian Market

Since the bank is yet to modernize few of its banking operations, there is a better

scope of using advanced technologies and software to improve customer relations

Threats:

Net profit of the year has decline from 9166.05 in the year FY 2010 to 7,370.35 in

the year FY2011

This shows the reduce in market share to its close competitor ICICI Other private banks like HDFC, AXIS bank etc

1.2 Theoretical Description:1.2.1 Meaning of Auto Loan: An auto loan is a loan used to finance the purchase of an automobile and usually backed by a lien on the vehicle. The subject of auto loan comprises the different financial product which allows someone to acquire a car with any arrangement other than a single lump payment. The provision of car finance by a third party supplier allows the acquirer to provide for and raise the funds to compensate the initial owner, either a dealer or manufacturer. Car finance is required by both private individuals and businesses. All types of finance products are available to either sector, however the market share by finance type for each sector differs, partly because business contract hire can provide tax and cash flow benefits to businesses. Page 12

What auto loan is important? The new car market is growing fast in India. It is helped a lot by easy availability of car loan in the auto market. As the auto industry is growing car companies have tied up with various banks and financial institutions for providing loan facility to prospective buyers.

There are many benefits of buying things on credit:. You do not need to save for many months and then buy some expensive item. You can do it easily after availing of some loan. This way, any salaried person can easily buy an expensive item and pay easily in equated monthly installments. Thus credit schemes like car loan are helping both salaried prospective buyers and the overall auto industry.

1.2.2 Meaning of Customers Perception:Customer perception applies the concept of sensory perception to marketing and advertising. Just as sensory perception relates to how humans perceive and process sensory stimuli through their five senses, consumer perception pertains to how individuals form opinions about companies and the merchandise they offer through the purchases they make. Merchants apply consumer perception theory to determine how their customers perceive them. They also use consumer perception theory to develop marketing and advertising strategies intended to retain current customers -- and attract new ones.

Page 13

Theories of Consumer Behaviour: The Utility Theory of Demand The utility theory explains consumer behavior in relation to the satisfaction that a consumer gets the moment he consumes a good. This theory was developed and introduced in 1870 by a British Economist, William Stanley Jevons. When we speak of utility in economics, we refer to the satisfaction or benefit that a consumer derives of his consumption. The utility theory of demand assumes that satisfaction can be measured. The unit of measure of utility is called utils. Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility The fundamental assumption of utility theory of demand is that the satisfaction that a person derives in consuming a particular product diminishes or declines as more and more of a good is consumed. In other words, as successive quantity of goods is consumed, the utility we derive diminishes. This is called the law of diminishing marginal utility. Indifference Preference Theory Another theory explaining consumer behavior is the indifference preference theory. Economist Vilfredo Pareto developed this modern approach to consumer behavior. Under this, that analysis of consumer behavior is described in terms of consumer preferences of various combinations of goods and services depending on the nature, rather than from the measurability of satisfaction in our previous discussion of the utility theory. Under the

Page 14

latter theory, consumer's taste and preferences were presented by the way of total and marginal utility. Indifference Curve An indifference curve is a locus of points each of which represents a combination of goods and services that will give equal level of satisfaction to a consumer. To illustrate this, we consider an individual who prefer a combination of 2 goods, say, food and clothing. Table 3 shows the combination of the quantities of the commodities that a consumer prefers. Let us assume that he is indifferent to any of the combination of food and clothing. Consumer Behaviour Model:

Why it is necessary to know about Customers Perception: In todays globalising economy competition is getting more and fiercer. That means it becomes more difficult for products and services to differentiate themselves from other offerings than ever before. Customer behaviour becomes more hybrid. On one hand, customers are increasingly price sensitive searching for bargains at marketplaces like ebay or buying their groceries at discount markets. On the other hand they enjoy branded and luxury goods. One and the same person may plan a weekend trip with a no-frills airline and a stay at a five-star-hotel.

4.1

Result of Study:

From this project it is found that SBI Auto loan having the 1st place in the market at Delhi, there is a great opportunity to compete with PNB Bank & to retain its customer by fulfilling the requirement of customer in SBI auto loan. It has been observed that approximately 85% correspondents are using Auto loan of SBI and 15% are not using in Delhi. All of SBI customers are satisfied with the services provided by the bank. Many of these customers satisfied with the attractive interest rate and less paper work of the Auto loan. Most of the customers at Delhi prefer to take loan from SBI. Approximately 31% of Auto loan users said that the service of SBI in Auto loan is excellent and 58% said Good. A response from customer care is so clear & good. Many customers have no time to call customer care so that they are not able to know about the service & features of SBI advance product. Most customers are shifted from other banks Auto loan to SBI because of hidden charges, high interest rate, less repayment period. Government employees are more concern than private employees for Auto loan.

Page 49

4.2 Limitations:
As the project involved the marketing research using

questionnaires, views expressed by the respondents are confined to the elements of questionnaire. But I tried to get more information through general questions so that I could reach at the clear picture of the position of the SBI bank. As the sample size of ma project was not so big for this survey the sample size should be very big because lack of time I was only able to research on 100 peoples. All customers are not alike. Thus the results may not hold true for every individual. In some instances respondents may not have revealed the truth.

Page 50

4.2

Suggestions and scope for the further study:

Customer awareness programme is required so that more people should attract towards auto loan. If there are any kind of hidden charges than that must disclose to customer before giving loan to them. SBI must take some steps so that customers can get their loan in time. Like phone verification by customer care that one customer is got their loan on time or not .It must be before a certain date so necessary steps can be taken. SBI should more concern about physical verification rather than phone verification so it will avoid fraud or cheating. Auto loan selling agents must not give any type of wrong information regarding auto loans For the better service new offers would be require. SBI customer care should more concern about the fastest settlement of customer problems. Before deducting or charging any monetary charge SBI must consult with customer. Agents should be trained, well educated & proper trained to convince the people about different advance product. It is the duty of the bank to disclose all the material facts regarding auto loan, like interest charged, repayment period, other types of charges, etc. Special scheme should be implemented to encourage both customer and agents. The bank should increase the period for repayment of loan. SBI should more focus on Retaining existing customers. SBI must focus on Segmentation based on customer knowledge Product offering based on customer demand. SBI must take feedbacks of customers regarding features & services.

Page 51

From the analysis part it can be conclude that customers have a good respond towards SBI auto loan in Delhi. SBI is in 1st position having large number of customers & providing good services to them. The bank has a wide customer base, so the bank should concentrate on this to retain these customers.

In present scenario SBI is the largest advance product issuer in India. Within a very short period of time the achievement made by SBI is excellent, what a normal bank cannot expect, but it is being done by SBI. It happens due to employee dedication towards the organization, fastest growing Indian economy, & brand image.

To be the largest advance product issuer, SBI should focus on

Launch Innovative product Customized advance products Better customer services Fastest customers problem solving techniques Customer retention

Apart from all the above, SBI believe in providing good customer services to their customers which is a key factor for success in future.
