INTRODUCTION

Banking is the backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of

the most important pre-conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The

world of banking has assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21 st century with the

advent of tech banking, thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality. In general,

banking may be classified as retail and corporate banking. Retail banking, which is

designed to meet the requirements of individual customers and encourage their savings,

includes payment of utility bills, consumer loans, credit cards, checking account balances,

ATMs, transferring funds between accounts and the like. Corporate banking, on the other

hand, caters to the needs of corporate customers like bills discounting, opening letters of

credit and managing cash.

The Indian banking scene has changed drastically with the private sector making

inroads in an area hitherto dominated by large public sector banks. Growing disinvestment

is likely to impact the banking industry as well. There is every possibility of privatization of

public sector banks, leading to greater operational autonomy.

The development of the Indian banking sector has been accompanied by the

introduction of new norms such as Income Recognition and Capital Adequacy, by the

5

government. The latter implies that banks can lend on the basis of their respective

capital base. These norms have caused banks to construct equity on their own, before going

in for debt. Disintermediation is a real threat for banks. Of late, banks are adopting the EVA

(Economic Value Added) concept wherein revenues are viewed in the context of the risk

associated with them.

The New World order has ensured "Survival of the Fittest". New services are the order

of the day, in order to stay ahead in the rat race. Banks are now foraying into net banking,

securities, consumer finance, housing finance, treasury market, merchant banking and

insurance.

COMPANY PROFILE

ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of about Rs. 1 trillion and a network

of about 540 branches and offices and over 1,000 ATMs. 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 specialized subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of

investment banking, life and non-Banking , venture capital, asset management and

information technology. ICICI Bank's equity shares are listed in India on stock exchanges at

Chennai, Muzaffarnagar, Kolkata and Vadodara, the Stock Exchange, Mumbai and the

National Stock Exchange of India Limited and its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are

listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

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

7

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

8

its wholly owned retail finances 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.

BANKING STRUCTURE11

The Indian banking industry, which has Reserve Bank of India as its regulatory

authority, is a mix of the public sector, private sector, and foreign banks. The private sector

banks are again split into old banks and new banks.

SCHEDULED BANKS

Scheduled commercial banks are those that come under the purview of the Second

Schedule of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934. The banks that are included under this

schedule are those that satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act). Some co-

operative banks come under the category of scheduled commercial banks though not all co-

operative banks.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS

Public sector banks are those in which the Government of India or the RBI is a

majority shareholder. These banks include the State Bank of India (SBI) and its subsidiaries,

other nationalized banks, and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs). Over 70% of the aggregate

branches in India are those of the public sector banks. Some of the leading banks in this

segment include Allahabad Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank of India,

Indian Overseas Bank, State Bank of India, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Bikaner and

Jaipur, State Bank of Travancore, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Oriental Bank of Commerce,

UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, Dena Bank and Corporation Bank.

12

PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS :- Private banks are essentially comprised of two types: the old

and the new. The old private sector banks comprise those, which were operating before

Banking Nationalization Act was passed in 1969. On account of their small size, and regional

operations, these banks were not nationalized. These banks face intense rivalry from the new

private banks and the foreign banks. The banks that are included in this segment include:

Bank of Madura Ltd. (now a part of ICICI Bank), Bharat Overseas Bank Ltd., Bank of

Rajasthan, Karnataka Bank Ltd., Lord Krishna Bank Ltd., The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltd., The

Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd., The Federal Bank Ltd., The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd., The Karur

Vysya Bank Ltd., The Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd., The Nedungadi Bank Ltd. and Vysya Bank. The

new private sector banks were established when the Banking Regulation Act was amended in

1993. Financial institutions promoted several of these banks. After the initial licenses, the RBI

has granted no more licenses. These banks are gearing up to face the foreign banks by

focusing on service and technology. Currently, these banks are on an expansion spree,

spreading into semi-urban areas and satellite towns. The leading banks that are included in

this segment include Bank of Punjab Ltd., Centurion Bank Ltd., Global Trust Bank Ltd., HDFC

Bank Ltd., ICICI Banking Corporation Ltd., IDBI Bank Ltd., IndusInd Bank Ltd. and UTI Bank Ltd.

13

FOREIGN BANKS

The operations of foreign banks, though similar to that of other commercial Indian

banks, are mainly confined to metropolitan areas. Foray of foreign banks depends on

reciprocity, economic and political bilateral relations. An inter-departmental committee has

been set up to endorse applications for entry and expansion. Foreign banks, in the wake of

the liberalization era, are looking to expand and diversify. Some of the leading foreign banks

that operate in India are Citibank, Standard Chartered Grindlays Bank, Hong Kong Shanghai

Banking Corporation, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Development Bank of Singapore and

Banque National De Paris.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKING – AT A DISADVANTAGE

Functioning of Public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are yet to achieve computerization

across the board, is at a relative disadvantage when compared to the private sector, which is

offering state-of-the-art facilities such as ATMs, doorstep banking, banking on phone, and

net banking. PSBs also suffer from huge costs of labor and low levels of automation. At this

rate, it may not be long before new channels devised by private banks effectively surpass the

number of branch networks offered by the PSBs.

This apart, the problems which have assumed enormous proportion today as far as

Public Sector banks are concerned are ballooning NPA levels, declining margins, poor credit

14

off-take, high overheads, and lack of good quality assets. Banks are sticking to reliable

borrowers for fear of bad debts. In fact, banks largely invest in government securities, which

have zero risk. With GOI being the single largest borrower, the yields on these securities

determine the interest rates.

The government aims to decrease its shareholding in PSBs to 33%, however, at the

same time it also wants to retain the controlling stake. This, it is feared, is not going to solve

the problems which PSBs are coping with now.

15

PRIVATE SECTOR BLOOMS

Corporate governance and self-regulation are the ground rules for the private sector.

Government interference is not preferred. While some private banks such as ICICI Bank, UTI

Bank and IDBI Bank have financial institutions backing them, others are opting for foreign

partnerships for technology and monetary resources.

Private banks have emerged relatively strong, with about 60% growth reported in net

profits in the year ended March 2000. With a net profit of Rs.120 crores (+46%), HDFC was

the clear leader. IDBI Bank, however took the cake by doubling its net profit, which reached

Rs.60.99 crores in March 2000.The jump in profits can mainly be attributed to non-traditional

sectors such as commission, exchange, brokerage, and profit on sale of investments.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk is an integral part of the banking business and ICICI Bank aims at the delivery of

superior shareholder value by achieving an appropriate trade-off between risk and returns.

ICICI Bank is exposed to various risks, including credit risk, market risk and operational risk.

Our risk management strategy is based on a clear understanding of various risks, disciplined

risk-assessment and measurement procedures and continuous monitoring. The policies and

procedures established for this purpose are continuously benchmarked with international best

practices. A comprehensive range of quantitative and modelling tools developed by a

dedicated risk analytics team supports the risk management function at ICICI Bank.

The Risk, Compliance & Audit Group (RCAG) is responsible for assessment,

management and mitigation of risk in ICICI Bank. This group, forming a part of the

Corporate Centre, is completely independent of all business operations and accountable to

the Risk and Audit Committees of the Board of Directors. RCAG is organised into six sub-

groups: Credit Risk Management Group, Market Risk Group, Credit Policies Group, Internet

Audit Group, Retail Risk Group and Risk Analytics Group.

21

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower is unable to meet its financial obligations to the lender.

ICICI Bank measures, monitors and manasgers credit risk for each borrower asnd also at the

portfolio level. ICICI Bank has a standardised credit approval process, which includes a well-

established procedure of comprehensive credit appraisal and rating. ICICI Bank has

developed internal credit rating methodologies for rating obligors as well as for rating. ICICI

Bank has developed internal credit rating methodologies for rating obligors as well as for

product / facilities. The rating factors in quantitative and qualitative issues and credit

enhancement features specific to the transaction. The rating serves as a key input in the

sanction as well as post-sanction credit processes. Credit rating, a as concept, has been well

internalised within the Bank. The rating for every borrower is reviewed as least annually and

for higher risks credits and large exposures at shorter intervals. Sector knowledge has been

institutionalized across ICICI Bank through the availability of sector-specific information on

the Intranet. Industry knowledge is constantly updated through field visits, interactions with

clients, regulatory bodies and industry experts. In respect of the retail credit business, ICICI

Bank has a system of centralized approval of all products and policies and monitoring of the

retail portfolio. We continuously refine our retail credit parameters based on portfolio

analytics.

22

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency

exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices. HDFC Bank’s exposure to market risk a

function of its trading and asset and liability management activities and its role as a financial

intermediary in customer-related transactions. The objective of market risk management is to

minimize the impact of losses due to market risks on earning and equity capital.

Market risk policies include Asset-Liability Management (ALM) policies and policies for

the trading portfolio. The Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of Board of

Directors approves ALM policies. ALCO’s role encompasses stipulating liquidity and interest-

rate risk limits, monitoring risk levels by adherence to set limits, articulating the

organization’s interest rate view and determining business strategy in the light of the current

and expected business environment. These sets of policies and processes are articulated in

ALM policy. A separate set of policies for the trading portfolio address issues related to

investments in various trading products and are approved by the Committee of Directors

(COD) of the Board. RCAG exercises independent control over the process of market-risk

management and recommends changes in processes and methodologies for measuring

market risk.

23

MIDDLE OFFICE GROUP

HDFC Bank has a separate Middle Office Group to monitor both credit and treasury-

related compliance. The Credit Middle Group monitors compliance with policies and terms of

sanction of credit proposals.

The Treasury Middle Office Group monitors the asset-liability position under the

supervision of the ALCO. It also monitors treasury activities, including determining

compliance with various exposure and dealing limits, verifying the appropriateness and

accuracy of various transactions, processing these transactions, tracking the daily funds

position and all treasury related management and regulatory reporting.

Interest rate risk is measured through the use of re-pricing gap analysis. Liquidity risk

is measured through gap analysis. HDFC Bank ensures adequate liquidity at all times

through systematic funds maintenance of liquid investment as well as by focusing on more

stables funding sources such as retail deposits. HDFC Bank mitigates its exposure to

exchange rate risk by stipulating daily stop-loss limits and position limits.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Operational risk can result from a variety of factors, including failure to obtain proper

internal authorization, improperly documented transactions, failure of operational and

information security procedures, computer systems and software or equipment, fraud,

inadequate training and employee errors. We attempt operational risk by maintaining a

comprehensive system of internal controls, establishing systems and procedures to monitors 24

transactions, maintaining key back-up procedures and undertaking regular contingency

planning. The Middle Office Group monitors adherence to credit procedures. The

International Audit Group undertakes a comprehensive audit of all business group and other

functions, in accordance with a risk-based audit plan. This plan allocates audit resources

based on an assessment of the operational risks in the various businesses. ICICI Bank has

been a pioneer in the implementation of a risk-based audit methodology in the Indian

banking sector. The International Audit Group conceptualizes and implements improved

system of internal controls to minimize operational risk.

crore) in the second quarter. Retail assets constituted 39 per cent of the bank's customer

assets. While leveraging and enhancing its position as the original lender, the bank also

continued to focus on securitisation of its customer assets. This had enabled the bank to

optimize resources and capital utilization and diversify the composition of its asset portfolio.

around Rs 5,300 crore. According to the bank, its net restructured loans declined to Rs 7,856

crore (Rs 10,491 crore). Net NPAs were at Rs 3,128 crore, constituting 4.8 per cent of its

customer assets. Deposits grew by 18 per cent to Rs 56,880 crore (Rs 48,169 crore). As on

Repatriable funds (i.e. those which can be taken abroad) need to be kept in a separate bank

account, i.e. NRE Bank account. Typically, funds brought in from abroad are permitted in such

an account. Investments made from such funds can be repatriated, i.e. proceeds from sale or

otherwise from such investments can be taken abroad. Such investments are maintained in a

Repatriable Demat account.

Non-repatriable funds (i.e. those which cannot be taken abroad) need to be kept separate

from repatriable funds in a separate bank account i.e. NRO Bank account. Investments made

from such funds cannot be repatriated, i.e. proceeds from sale or otherwise from such

investments cannot be taken abroad. Such investments are maintained in a Non-Repatriable

46

Demat account. Money once transferred from NRE account to NRO account loses its

repatriability and hence, cannot be transferred back to NRE account.

MAJOR COMPETITORS

STATE BANK OF INDIA

It is India's largest bank with assets worth Rs.2, 615 billion. SBI also has the distinction of

having the world’s largest branch network of 9,000 branches. The bank has a share of about

22% of India's loans and deposits, and is a top player in trade finance and forex. Through its 60

subsidiaries, SBI is also a leading provider of other financial products like mutual funds,

investment banking, housing finance and factoring. SBI has a market share of one-fifth of the

banking sector in India. Nationalized banks and SBI and its subsidiaries form the heart of the

Indian banking system. These two entities operate 70% of the total branches spread across

the length and breadth of India.

BANK OF INDIA

As one of the leading public sector Indian banks, Bank of India has the distinction of being the

first bank to open a branch outside India. The bank, which currently has overseas operations

in about 10 countries, is one of the leaders in financing foreign trade. It is one of the few

Indian banks that provide tele-banking facilities, Remote Access Terminals for corporate

clients, and Signature Retrieval System. Some of the recent forays made by the bank in terms

of its business operations include bullion business and demat services.

It is a pioneer in terms of the introduction and adoption of a model banking policy that suits

India and other developing countries. The bank, which is synonymous with progressive

banking in India, has a strong presence in rural India. The bank was nationalized in 1969.

Syndicate Bank has correspondent relations with 400 banks from all over the globe. The bank

is also one of the leading players in the foreign exchange market.

CHALLENGE FOR THE INDIAN BANKING SECTOR

Indian banks have a long way to go before they reach the size of their international

counterparts. Even the biggest Indian bank, State Bank of India, is nowhere on the

international scale, with assets in the range of $50billion. Absence of significant scale

benefits and higher implicit costs of several services are perpetuating the poor ranking of

Indian banks in the international league tables.

Shareholding structure, government regulations and sheer size of the country ensure that the

existence of Indian banks is not at stake at this stage. What is at stake is the banking support

that is available for Indian economic activity, and thereby the international competitiveness

of various sectors. What is also at stake is the scope for the banking industry to earn superior

returns through differentiated wider services.

Further, it is quite conceivable that with passage of time, as government holding in banks is

progressively divested, regulatory authorities will be unable to hold back the international

giants from buying out Indian banks. Even economies with a "domestic mindset", such as

France and Germany, have been forced to bow before the international capital market forces.

It would be a shame if painstakingly built retail strength is offered on a platter to some

predator. The challenge can be met through some concerted action -

Government

62

The Government needs to do away with artificial fragmentation of the

financial sector. A case in point is the segregation of banks and financial institutions

induced by policy. If this is changed, we may well see mergers between the two

sectors to create organizations of size. Why not a merger of Industrial Development

Bank of India with Bank of Baroda, or even better with State Bank of India? This

would definitely lead to a merger between ICICI and ICICI Bank and for that matter

between HDFC and HDFC Bank. The possibilities are interesting and numerous.

Domestic Banks

Domestic Banks - private as well as public - need to continuously explore options to

acquire or merge with other institutions to enhance their size, service or skill-set. This

could also mean looking beyond the national boundaries as truly global corporations

do.

New Initiatives

The recent crisis in the Far East has demonstrated the need for a robust

banking sector. Therefore the whole structure of Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) and

Urban Co-operative Banks (UCBs) needs to be strengthened. The focus that FMCG

companies such as Hindustan Lever have given to the rural sector proves that private

63

sector interest is not limited to the cities and major towns. Technological changes

(such as wireless communication, net etc.) have drastically changed the

communications scenario. This may be the time to come out with interesting

initiatives with regard to structure of RRBs and UCBs so that private sector

organizations - banks as well as non-banks - play a greater role in meeting the needs

and aspirations of hitherto neglected parts of the country.

Social considerations

The full benefit of mergers can only be realized if they are followed up with some hard

measures such as re-location / closure of branches, rationalization of employee strength etc.

It would be a welcome change if the management and unions collaborate in seeking

appropriate social security from the Government - financed out of the divestment of stake in

these banks.

Indian banking has to operate with a global mindset even while fulfilling local banking

requirements. By joining in the effort to make this happen, we will get the banking service we

need. Else, we will deserve the banking service we get.

65

(INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC)

66

The topic of “ COMPARISION BETWEEN ICICI AND HDFC BANK: Banking is the

backbone of a modern economy. Health of banking industry is one of the most important pre-

conditions for sustained economic progress of any country. The world of banking has

assumed a new dimension at the dawn of the 21st century with the advent of tech banking,

thereby lending the industry a stamp of universality. In general, banking may be classified as

retail and corporate banking. Retail banking, which is designed to meet the requirements of

individual customers and encourage their savings, includes payment of utility bills, consumer

loans, credit cards, checking account balances, ATMs, transferring funds between accounts

and the like. Corporate banking, on the other hand, caters to the needs of corporate

customers like bills discounting, opening letters of credit and managing cash.

The Indian banking scene has changed drastically with the private sector making

inroads in an area hitherto dominated by large public sector banks. Growing disinvestment is

likely to impact the banking industry as well. There is every possibility of privatization of

public sector banks, leading to greater operational autonomy.

The development of the Indian banking sector has been accompanied by the

introduction of new norms such as Income Recognition and Capital Adequacy, by the

government. The latter implies that banks can lend on the basis of their respective capital

base. These norms have caused banks to construct equity on their own, before going in for

debt. Disintermediation is a real threat for banks. Of late, banks are adopting the EVA

(Economic Value Added) concept wherein revenues are viewed in the context of the risk

associated with them.

67

The New World order has ensured "Survival of the Fittest". New services

are the order of the day, in order to stay ahead in the rat race. Banks are

now foraying into net banking, securities, consumer finance, housing

finance, treasury market, merchant banking and insurance.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a systematic way, which consists of series of action steps, necessary

to effectively carry out research and the desired sequencing to these steps. The marketing

research is a process of involves a no. of inter-related activities, which overlap and do rigidly

follow a particular sequence. It consists of the following steps:-

research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of the data in a

70

Data Collection

Report of findings

manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure.

Research design is broadly classified into three types as

Exploratory Research Design

Descriptive Research Design

Causal Research Design

I have chosen the descriptive research design.

71

DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN:

Descriptive research studies are those studies which are concerned with described the

characteristics of particular individual.

In descriptive as well as in diagnostic studies, the researcher must be able to define clearly,

what he wants to measure and must find adequate methods for measuring it along with a

clear cut definition of population he want to study. Since the aim is to obtain complete and

accurate information in the said studies, the procedure to be used must be carefully planned.

The research design must make enough provision for protection against bias and must

maximize reliability, with due concern for the economical completion of the research study.

SAMPLE DESIGN

A Sample Design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. It refers to

the technique to the procedure adopted in selecting items for the sampling designs are as

below:

72

SAMPLE SIZE

SAMPLE SIZE: The substantial portions of the target customer that are sampled to achieve

SAMPLE SELECTION

Simple random selection sampling

SAMPLE TECHNIQUE

I have taken the Statistical tool of percentage method to analysis and interpretation of the

collected data.

RANDOM SAMPLING:

A random sample gives every unit of the population a known and non-zero probability of

being selected. Since random sampling implies equal probability to every unit in the

population, it is necessary that the selection of the sample must be free from human

judgment.

There is some confusion between the two terms ‘random sampling’ and ‘unrestricted’

random sampling. In the latter case, each unit in the population has an equal chance of being

selected in the sample. Such a sample is drawn ‘with replacement’, which means that the unit

selected at each draw is replaced into the population before another draw is made from it,

‘As such, a unit can be included more than once in the sample. Most statically theory relates

to ‘unrestricted random sampling. In order to distinguish between these two sample. I.e.

74

sample, without replacement and sample with replacement, the terms ‘sample random

sample’ and ‘unrestricted random sample’ are used. If the latter is devised in such a manner

that no unit can be included more than once, it will then be known as the simple random

sampling.

It may be noted that while both sample random sampling and unrestricted random sampling

give an equal probability to each unit of the population for being included in the sample,

there are other sample design too which provide equal probability to the units. The process of

randomness is the very core of simple and unrestricted random sampling. The selection of a

sample must be free from bias, which can be ensured only when the process of selection is

free from human judgment.

COLLECTION OF DATA

DATA COLLECTION

The study was conducted by the means of personal interview with respondents and the

information given by them were directly recorded on questionnaire.

For the purpose of analyzing the data it is necessary to collect the vital information. There are

two types of data, this are-

Primary Data

Secondary data

75

PRIMARY DATA:-

Primary data can be collected through questionnaire. The questionnaire can be classified into

four main types.

Structured non disguised questionnaire

Structured disguised questionnaire.

Non structured non disguised questionnaire

Non –structured disguised questionnaire.

For my market study, I have sleeted structured non-disguised questionnaire because my

questionnaire is well structured, listing of questions are in a prearranged order and where the

object of enquiry is revealed to the respondents.

To making a well-structured questionnaire, we have adopted three type of questions-

Open ended question

Dichotomous questions

Multiple choice questions

These types of questions are easy to understand and easy to give required answers.

76

SECONDARY DATA:-

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer the data which have

already been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes

secondary data, than he has to look into various sources from where h e can obtain them, in

this case he is certainly not confronted with the problems that are usually associated with the

collection of original data. Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished data.

Usually published data are available in:

Various publications of the central, state and local government;

Various publications of foreign government or of international bodies and their

subsidiary organizational;

Technical and trade journals;

Books, magazines and newspapers;

Reports and publications of various associations connected with business san

industry, stock exchanges etc.;

Reports prepared by research scholars, universities, economists etc;

Public records and statistics, historical document and other source of published

information.

The source of unpublished data are many; they may be found in diaries, letters, unpublished

biographies and autobiographies and also may be available with scholars and research 77

workers, trade associations, labor because and other public private individuals and

organization.

COLLECTION TECHNIQUE:

Questionnaire method is used in collection the data.

DATA ANALYSIS

DATA PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS

Processing & Analysis the collected data: - once the field survey is over and questionnaire

have been received, the next task is to aggregate the data in a meaningful manner. A number

of tables are prepare to bring out the main characteristics of the data. The researcher should

have a well thought out framework for processing and analyzing data, and this should be

done prior to the collection. it includes the following activities—

(i) Editing: the first task in data processing is the editing. Editing is the process of examining

errors and omissions in the collected data and making necessary corrections in the same.

(ii) Coding: coding is the procedure of classifying the answer to a question into meaningful

categories. Coding is necessary to carry out the subsequent operations of tabulating and

analyzing data. If coding is not done, it will not be possible to reduce a large number of

78

heterogeneous responses into meaningful categories with the result that the analysis of data

would be weak and ineffective, and without proper focus.

(iii)Tabulation: tabulation comprises sorting of the data into different categories and

counting the number of cases that belong to each category. The simplest way to tabulate is

to count the number of responses to one question. This is also called universal tabulation. The

analysis based on just one variable is obviously meager. Where two or more variables are

involved in tabulation, it is called bivariate or multivariate tabulation.

(iv) Analysis: after the all three above steps, the most important step is analysis

of the data. Under this step, they can use the various tools of the analysis

such as Central Tendency, Dispersion, Correlation co-efficient, Regression

Analysis, Test of Hypothesis etc.

RECOMMENDATIONS

ICICI Bank and HDFC bank has to improve its brand image, i.e. it has to position

itself in the minds of prospects in a better way in comparisons to others.
