CHAPTER 2:
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
REVIEW OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION
Most employers recognise the fact that their staff are their greatest asset, and the right recruitment and induction processes are vital in ensuring that the new employee becomes effective in the shortest time. The success of an organisation depends on having the right number of staff, with the right skills and abilities. Organisations may have a dedicated personnel/human resource function overseeing this process, or they may devolve these

responsibilities to line managers and supervisors. Many people may be involved, and all should be aware of the principles of good practice. Even it is essential to involve others in the task of recruitment and induction.

MANPOWER PLANNING-

Manpower planning means different things to different organizations. To some companys manpower planning means management development to others. It means estimating manpower needs, while some other may define manpower planning as organization planning. Although the term, manpower planning can be defined, as the process by which an organization ensures that it has the right number of people and the right kind of people at the right places, at the time doing things for which they are economically most useful. Manpower Planning Involves: Manpower planning is a continuous process. In operational terms it involves the analysis of the current and future manpower resources terms and requirement to ensure that such needs and resources are always kept in proper balance, both in terms of quantity. Need for Manpower Planning:All said and done, it cannot be define that the quality of manpower can be responsible for significant difference in the short and long run performance among companies. As Ralph Besse once said, There is nothing we can do about performance of past management or the qualification of todays management but tomorrows management can be as good as today's manager care to make it. Herber H Mayer has emphasized the importance of human assets and their utilization as under: The efficient utilization of human resources may very well be the most important determiner of success in the business world in the coming decade. I think that the companies that prosper in the future will be those that do the best job in fully utilizing their human resources. All organizations are basically human organizations. They need people to carry out the organizational mission, goals and objectives. Every organization needs to recruit people .The recruitment policy should, therefore, address itself to the key question; what are the personnel/human resource requirement of the organization in terms of number, skills, levels etc to meet present and future needs of production and technical and other changes planned or anticipated in the next years. MEANING Higher education is a human resource intensive enterprise. It is not surprising, then, that recruitment and selection of staff should be a very high priority in most if not all units and divisions of student affairs. Recruitment and selection should include procedures directed to analyze the need and purpose of a position, the culture of the institution, and ultimately to select and hire the person that best fits the position. Recruitment and selection policy should, then, be directed toward the following objectives: ----Hire the right person. Conduct a wide and extensive search of the potential position candidates. Recruit staff members who are compatible with the college or university environment and culture. ---Hire individuals by using a model that focuses on student learning and education of the whole person. ---Place individuals in positions with responsibilities that will enhance their personal development.

Issues in Recruitment and Selection

Do not discard applicants who stopped out to provide care for a child,or for maternity leave. Consider the dynamics of the interview is the candidate being interviewed in an environment that is representative of the office environment.

---Understand questions that cannot be asked regarding family, children, pregnancy, etc. ---Provide medical insurance that covers the full range of medical needs of women employees, including reproductive health care. ---Provide paid sick-leave policies for employees illness and illness of spouses, lifetime partners, dependent children, and elderly parents. ---Provide life insurance, disability and pension programs that are nondiscriminatory on the basis of gender . ---Have clear and vigorously enforced sex, race and sexual orientation discrimination and sexual harassment policies and include a statement about these policies in the advertisement of the position. ---Before attempting to diversify a staff and make it more gender equitable, you must tackle issues such as, gender stereotyping; discrimination in hiring, pay, and promotions,family,issues;and sexual orientation discrimination. There are five areas critical to this process: 1. Open communication. 2. A commitment to creating an inclusive Environment. 3. Clear preconceived expectations based on gender 4. A neutral supervisor who can observe different styles and facilitate communication when a conflict arises. 5. Training sexual harassment as well as gender issues training (It is thought that 75-80 of sexual harassment complaints could be prevented by understanding gender differences Recruitment

Recruitment

- Recruiters need to keep abreast of changes in the labour market to ensure that

their recruitment efforts are not wasted or directed at too small a pool of labour. Skill shortages may occur unexpectedly and recruitment and training processes need to be kept flexible. It is a good idea for any organisation to plan its labour force requirements, matching available supply against forecast demand. A skills audit of existing staff will increase knowledge of the skills the organisation has available and those which are lacking, and thus help pinpoint areas for future development. A human resource plan need not be highly complicated. A straightforward plan will help organisations to: ---assess future recruitment needs ---formulate training programmes ---develop promotion and career development policies anticipate and, where possible, avoid redundancies ---develop a flexible workforce to meet changing requirements control staff costs whilst ensuring salaries remain competitive assess future requirements for capital equipment, technology and premises. ---Management is responsible for producing the human resource plan, senior

management for supporting it. Implementation is likely to be most effective if it carries the support of the workforce, normally achieved through consultation with trade union or other employee representatives. ---Producing a human resource plan involves: forecasting staffing requirements against business objectives assessing the available supply of people to meet those requirements

Factors Affecting Recruitment: -

In recruiting new employees management must consider the nature of labor market, what sort of potential labor are available and how do look for works. The factor affecting can be summed up under the following heads: Labor Market Boundaries:- The knowledge of the boundaries help management in estimating the available supply of qualified personnel form, which it might recruit. A labor market consists of a geographical area in which the forces of demand and supply interact and thus affect the price of labor. Available Skills:- Companies must locate the areas where they can find employees who fit the jobs according to their skills. EconomicCondition: Economic conditions also affect recruitment. Unemployment worker may swamp a new plan located in a depressed labor market whereas a firm trying to establish it or to expand in an area where a few qualified workers are out of wok has quite a different recruitment problem. Attractiveness of the Company: The attractiveness of the company in terms of higher wages, clean work, better fringe benefits and rapid promotions serves as influencing factor in recruitment.

Importance of Recruitment
Recruiting people who are wrong for the organisation can lead to increased labour turnover, increased costs for the organisation, and lowering of morale in the existing workforce. Such people are likely to be discontented, unlikely to give of their best, and end up leaving voluntarily or involuntarily when their unsuitability becomes evident. They will not offer the flexibility and commitment that many organisations seek. Managers and supervisors will have to spend extra time on further recruitment exercises, when what is needed in the first place is a systematic process to assess the role to be filled, and the type of skills and Most recruitment systems will be simple, with stages that can be followed as a routine whenever there is a vacancy to be filled, and which can be monitored and adapted in the light of experience. This booklet describes the main features of such systems, and other related issues. Systems should be:

efficient - cost effective in methods and sources

effective - producing enough suitable candidates without excess and ensuring the identification of the best fitted for the job and the organisation fair - ensuring that right through the process decisions are made on merit alone.

PROCESS OF RECRUITMENT
Recruitment Process
A vacancy presents an opportunity to consider restructuring, or to reassess the requirements of the job. This assessment is valid whether it is to fill an existing job or

a new one. Ask questions such as: 1. Has the function changed? 2. Have work patterns, new technology or new products altered the job? 3. Are there any changes anticipated which will require different, more flexible skills from the jobholder? Answers to these questions should help to clarify the actual requirements of the job and how it fits into the rest of the organisation or department. Exit interviews, or consultation with the current job-holder and colleagues may well produce good ideas about useful changes. Recruitment begins by specifying the human resource recruitment, initiating activities and action to identify the possible sources form where they can be met, communicating the information about the jobs, terms and conditions and prospects they offer, and enthuse the people who meet the recruitment to respond to the invitation by applying for jobs. Thereafter the selection process begins. The process is as follows:

Decide on how many people you really need:If everything is being done to improve performance and still there is a gap between what the current performance is and the goals set, then the best way is to recruit more people.

Analyzing the job:Analyzing the job is the process of assembling and studying information relating to all aspects of a particular post. Analysis is done to find possible details about:

Purpose: Identify the aims and objectives of job and what the employee is expected to achieve within department and company. Position: The job title, its position in the hierarchy and for whom it is
responsible ought to be recorded. A sample organization chart may be useful for this purpose.

Main Duties: A list of key tasks may be written out; standards that need to be reached and maintained must also be maintained. Methods of recording, assessing and recording the key tasks must be determined. The work Environment: Study the physical and social environment in which the
work is out because the work environment influences the quantity and quality of work.

Drafting a job description:After job analysis is done, job description is made. Job description describes the job. The job description decides upon the exact knowledge, skill and experience needed to do the job. Job description must be drafted around these heading: 1. Job title 2. Responsible to 3. Responsible for 4. Purpose of job 5. Duties 6. Responsibility 7. Signature and date

Evaluation future needs

For Evaluation future needs manpower is drafting. A manpower plan evolves studying the make-up of present work force, assessing forthcoming changes and calculating future workforce, which is required. Manpower planning helps in devising long-term recruitment plans. Finding sources of recruitment: The human resource requirement can be met from internal or external source:

Internal Sources
These refer to persons already employed in the organization. Promoting persons from lower levels may fill up vacancies at higher levels. Shortage of manpower in one branch \ factory may be met by transferring surplus staff from another branch \ factory. Promotion means shifting of an employee to higher post caring greater salary, status and responsibility. On the other hand transfer refer to the shifting an employee with salary, status and responsibility. Some time ex-employee of the organization may be re-employed.

Advantages of Internal Sources:

1. Filling vacancies for higher job by promoting employees from with in the organization helps to motivate and improved the morale of the employees. This induces loyalty among them. 2. Internal requirement has to minimize labor turnover and absenteeism. People wait for promotion and the work force is more satisfied. 3. Candidates working in organization do not require induction training. They are already familiar with organization and with the people working in it. industrial strikes, unrest, and lockouts.

Disadvantages of Internal Sources:

1. There may be inbreeding, as fresh talent from outside is not obtained. Internal candidates may not be given a new outlook and fresh ideas to business. 2. Unsuitable candidates may not be promoted to positions of higher responsibility because the choice is limited. 3. The employees may become lethargic if they are sure of time bound promotion. There may be infighting among those who aspires for promotion with in the organization. 4. Internal recruitment cannot be complete method in itself. The enterprise has to resort to external recruitment at some stage because all vacancies cannot be filled from with in organization.

External Sources

It refers to recruitment of employees from outside the organization. External sources provide wide choice of the required number of the employees having the desired qualification. It also provides the people with new ideas and specialized skills required to cope with new challenge and to ensure growth of the organization. Internal competitors have to compete with the outsiders. However, existing employees resent the policy of filling higher-level vacancies from outsiders. Moreover it is time consuming and expensive to recruit peoples from outside. Recruitment from the outside may create frustration among the existing employees that aspires for promotions. There is no guarantee that the organizations will attract sufficient number of suitable candidates.

Advantages of External Sources:

1. The entry of fresh talent in to the organization is encouraged. New employees bring new ideas to the organization. 2. External sources provide wider sources of personnel to choose from. 3. Requisite type of personnel having the required qualifications, training and skill are available from the external sources. Disadvantages of External Sources: 1. The enterprise can make the best selection since selection is made from among a large number of applicants. 2. There is a greater decoration in employer- employee relationship, resulting in industrial strikes, unrest, and lockouts. 3. The personnels selected from outside may suffer from the danger of adjustment to the new work environment.

Monitoring effectiveness of recruitment:

As with any work activity it is recommended that the recruitment and induction process be reviewed for its effectiveness. If any stage of the recruitment process failed to produce the expected result, eg if the advertising method has produced too many candidates, you may want to examine what happened and why in order to make it more efficient in the future. Future recruitment exercises may require modifications to the methods used - a successful recruitment for one job does not automatically mean the same method will be as successful again. This is particularly true if the labour market changes, with, for instance, fewer school leavers but more mature workers being available.Recruitment and induction may be a continuous process in your organisation, necessitating more or less constant monitoring.Monitoring regularly will also ensure equal opportunity policies are being actively pursued, and that internal candidates are receiving the same consideration as external candidates. Application forms Application forms can help the recruitment process by providing necessary and relevant information about the applicant and their skills . The design of the form needs to be realistic and straightforward, appropriate to the level of the job. Using application forms has the following advantages: comparing like with like is easier. CVs can be time-consuming and may not provide the information required they provide the basis for an initial sift(filter), and then for the interview the standard of completion can be a guide to the candidate's suitability, if writing and presentation skills are essential to the job; however, be aware of the possibility of disability discrimination they provide a record of qualifications, abilities and experience as stated by the applicant. Care also needs to be taken over some less positive aspects of application forms: 1. there is a temptation to use application forms to try to extract too much information, eg motives, values and personality characteristics. The form should concentrate on the experience, knowledge and competencies needed for the jobsome people may dislike filling in forms and so be put off applying for the job. Some very experienced people may find the form inadequate, whilst those with little in the way of qualifications or experience may be intimidated by large empty spaces on the form 2.application forms add another stage, and therefore more time, to the recruitment process. Some candidates may be lost if they can obtain work elsewhere more quickly. 3. Application forms may inadvertently be discriminatory. For instance, to require a form to be filled out 'in your own handwriting', where written English is not relevant to the job, may discriminate against those for whom English is not their first language, or who may not have well-developed literacy skills.

Any information such as title (marital status), ethnic origin or date of birth requested for monitoring purposes (eg for compliance with the legal requirements and codes of practice on race, sex, disability and age discrimination) should be clearly shown to be for this purpose only, and should be on a separate sheet or tear-off section. Such information need only be provided on a voluntary basis. Medical information should also be obtained separately and kept separate from the application form.

METHODS OF RECRUITMENT
All methods of recruitment can be put into three categories: a) Direct method b) Indirect method c) Third-party method

a) Direct Method:
These include the campus interview and keeping a live register of job seekers. Usually under this method, information about jobs and profile of persons available for jobs is exchanged and preliminary screening is done. The short listed candidates are then subjected to the remainder of the selection process. Some organization maintains live registers or record of applicants and refers to them as and when the need arises.

b) Indirect Method:
They cover advertising in newspapers, on the radio, in trade and professional journals, technical journals and brochures. When qualified and experienced persons are not available through other sources, advertising in newspapers and professional and technical journals in made. Whereas all types of advertisements can be made in newspapers and magazines, only particular types of posts should be advertised in the professional and technical journals. A well thought-out and planned advertisement for appointments reduces the possibility of unqualified people applying. If the advertisement is clear and to the point, candidates can assess their abilities and suitability for the position and only

c) Third Party Method:

Various agencies are used for recruitment under these methods. These include commercial and private employment agencies, state agencies, and placement offices of schools, colleges and professional associations, recruiting firms, management consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, friends and relatives. Employment Agencies: They are specializing in specific occupation like general office help, salesman, technical workers, accountants, computer staff, engineers and executives and suitable persons available for a job. Because of their specialization, they can interpret the needs of their clients and seek out particular types of persons. State or Public Employment Agencies: They also knew as Employment or Labor Exchanges, are the main agencies for public employment. They also provide a wide range of services, like counseling, assistance in getting jobs, information about the labor market, labor and wage rates, etc. Executive Research Agencies: They maintain a complete information records about employed executives and recommend persons of high caliber for managerial, marketing and production engineers posts. These agencies are looked upon as head hunters, raiders, and pirates.

Trade Unions:
The employers to supply whatever additional employees may be needed often call on

Trade Unions. Unions may be asked for recommendations largely as a matter of courtesy and an evidence of goodwill and cooperation Professional Societies: They may provide leads and clues in providing promising candidates for engineering, technical and management positions. Some of these maintain mail order placement services.

SELECTION
Whatever form the applications take, there may be a need to sift them before moving on to the interview stage. Such a sift serves to match the applicants as closely as possible to the job and person specification and to produce a shortlist of people to interview. To avoid any possibility of bias, such sifting should be undertaken by two or more people, and it should involve the direct line manager/supervisor as well as personnel. The sifting stage can also help the organisation by providing feedback on the advertising process and the suitability of the application form. It can also identify people who might be useful elsewhere in the organisation. If references or medicals are to be taken up before the invitation to interview stage, it should be made clear on the application form/information pack sent to the applicant. If your organisation believes that pre-employment health screening is necessary, you must make sure it is carried out in a non-discriminatory way: for instance, do not single out disabled people for medical assessment. If a report from any individual's doctor is sought, then permission must be given by the individual, and they have the right to see the report (Access to Medical Reports Act 1988). The candidates who best match the specifications may then be invited for interview. The invitation letter should tell candidates that they should advise the organisation in advance if any particular arrangements need to be made to accommodate them on arrival or during the interview; for instance, ramp access or lighting levels. The invitation letter should also clearly state whether the organisation will pay the candidate's reasonable travel expenses for the interview. A formal definition of selection is as following: It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job. Selection process assumes and rightly so, that there are more number of candidate actually selected candidates are made available through recruitment process.

BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE SELECTION

The main objectives of selection are to hire people having competence and commitment. This objective is often defeated because of certain barriers. The impediments, which check effectiveness of selection, are perception, fairness, validity, reliability and pressure.

Fairness:
Fairness is selection requires that no individual should be discriminated against on the basis of religion, region, race or gender. But the low numbers of women and other less-privileged sections of the society in middle and senior management positions and open discrimination on the basis of age in job advertisements and in the selection process would suggest that all the efforts to minimize inequity have not been very effective.

Reliability:
A reliable method is one that will produce consistent results when repeated in similar situations. Like a validated test, a reliable test may fail to predict

job performance with precision.

Pressure:

Pressure is brought on the selectors by politicians, bureaucrats, relatives, friends and peers to select particular candidates. Candidates selected because of compulsions are obviously not the rights ones. Appointments to public sector undertakings generally take place under such pressures.

SELECTION PROCEDURE
The selection procedure is concerned with securing relevant information about an applicant. This information is secured in a number of steps and stages. The objective of selection process is to determine whether an applicant needs the qualification for a specific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to perform in that job. The hiring procedures not a single acts but it is essentially a series of methods or steps or stages by which additional information is secured about the applicant. At each stage, facts may come to light, which lead to the rejection of the applicant. A procedure may be considered to a series of successive hurdles or barriers, which an applicant must cross. These are indented as screens and they are designed to eliminate an unqualified applicant at any point in this process. That technique is known as the successive hurdle technique. Not all selection process includes all these hurdles. The complexity of process usually increases with the level and responsibility of the position to be fulfilled. A well-organized selection procedure should be designed to select sustainable candidates for various jobs. Each step in the selection process should help in getting more and more information about the candidate. There is no idle selection procedure appropriate for all cases. Steps in the selection process: 1. Preliminary Screening 2. Application Blank 3. Employment Tests 4. Selection Interview 5. Medical or Physical Examination 6. Checking Reference 7. Final Approval.

Preliminary Screening:
This is essentially to check whether the candidate fulfills the minimum qualification. The preliminary interview is generally quite brief. Its aim is to eliminate the unsuitable candidate. The job seekers are received at the reception counter of the company. The receptionists or other official interviews the candidates to determine whether he is worthwhile or the candidate to fill up the application blank. Candidates processing the minimum qualification and having some chances of being selected are given the 1. prescribed application form known as application blank. Application Blank: The candidates are required to give full information about their age, qualification, experience, family background, aptitude and interests act in the application blank. The application blank provides a written record about the candidate. The application form should be designed to obtain all relevant information about the candidates. All applications received from the candidates are carefully scrutinized. After the scrutiny more suitable candidates among the applicants are short-listed for written tests and others are rejected.

Employment Tests:
Candidates are asked to appear for written or other tests. Tests have become popular screening devices. These tests are based on the assumption that human traits and work behaviors can be predicted by sampling, however tests are not fully reliable and they also

involve time and money. Test is more useful in identifying and eliminating unsuitable candidates therefore should be used only as supplements rather than an independent technique of selection. The main types of tests are: 1. Intelligence tests 2. Aptitude Test 3. Interest Test 4. Personality Test

Selection Interview:

It involves a face-to-face conversation between the employer and the candidate; the selector asks a job related and general questions. The way in which a candidate responds to the question is evaluated. The objectives of the interview are as following: a. To find out the candidates overall suitability for the job. b. To cross-check the information obtained through application blank and tests, and c. To give an accurate picture of the job and the company. Interview is the most widely used step in employee selection. However, interview suffers from several drawbacks: Firstly, it is a time consuming and expensive device. Secondly, it can test only the personality of the candidate and not his skill for the job. Thirdly, the interviewer may not be an expert and may fill to extract all relevant information from the candidate. Fourthly, the personal judgment or bias of the interviewer may make the result of the interviews inaccurate. Interview should be properly conducted in a proper physical environment. The interview room should be free from noise and interruptions. The environment should be confident and quite. People generally talk freely and frankly when there is privacy and comfort. Therefore, candidates should be put at ease. The interviewer should pay full attention to what the candidates have to say.

Medical or Physical Examination:

Candidates who are found suitable after interview are called for physical examination. A Panel of doctors to insure that they are healthy and physically fit for the job does a medical check-up of such candidates. A proper medical examination will also ensure that the candidates selected do not suffer from any serious desirous which may create problems in future. Medical or Physical Examination: Candidates who are found suitable after interview are called for physical examination. A Panel of doctors to insure that they are healthy and physically fit for the job does a medical check-up of such candidates. A proper medical examination will also ensure that the candidates selected do not suffer from any serious desirous which may create problems in future.

Checking Reference:

Generally, every candidate if required to state in the application form, the name and address of at least two responsible persons who know him. The reference may not give their Frank opinion unless promises made that in all information will be kept strictly confidential. Moreover the information given by them may be biased in the form of candidate.

Final Approval:
The candidates who are found suitable after the medical check-up and background investigation are formally appointed by issuing appointment letter to them. They are asked to join duty by the specified date. No selection procedure is foolproof and the best way judge a person is by observing him working on the job. Candidate who gives satisfactory during the probationary period are made permanent. SUCCESSIVE HURDLES IN THE SELECTION PROCESS.

COMPANY PROFILE
BANK PROFILE
OVERVIEW
ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of Rs. 3,997.95 billion (US$ 100 billion) at March 31, 2008 and profit after tax of Rs. 41.58 billion for the year ended March 31, 2008. ICICI Bank is second amongst all the companies listed on the Indian stock exchanges in terms of free float market capitalisation*. The Bank has a network of about 1,308 branches and 3,950 ATMs in India and presence in 18 countries. ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and through its specialised subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of investment banking, life and non-life insurance, venture capital and asset management. The Bank currently has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Russia and Canada, branches in Unites States, Singapore, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Qatar and Dubai International Finance Centre and representative offices in United Arab Emirates, China, South Africa, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Our UK subsidiary has established branches in Belgium and Germany. 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 OF THE BANK 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 transactionbanking 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 Ahmedabad 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. Basic Things: 1.
