    INTRODUCTION TO PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

    All those banks where greater parts of stake orequityare held by the private

    shareholders and not by government are called "private-sectorbanks". These arethe major players in thebankingsector as well as in expansion of the business

    activitiesIndia.The present private-sector banks equipped with all kinds ofcontemporary innovations, monetary tools and techniques to handle the

    complexities are a result of the evolutionary process over two centuries. They havea highly developed organisational structure and are professionally managed. Thus

    they have grown faster and stronger since past few yearsThe part of the economy that is not state controlled, and is run by individuals andcompanies for profit. The private sector encompasses all for-profit businesses that

    are not owned or operated by the government. Companies and corporations that aregovernment run are part of what is known as the public sector, while charities and

    HISTORY AND EVALUTION OF PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

    Private-sector banks have been functioning in India since the very beginning ofthebankingsystem. Initially, during 1921, the private banks likebank ofBengal,bank of Bombayandbank of Madraswere in service, which all together

    formedImperial Bank of India.Reserve Bank of India(RBI) came in picture in 1935 and became the centre ofevery other bank taking away all the responsibilities and functions of Imperial

    bank. Between 1969 and 1980 there was rapid increase in the number of branchesof the private banks. In April 1980, they accounted for nearly 17.5 percent of bank

    branches in India. In 1980, after 6 more banks were nationalised, about 10 percentof the bank branches were those of private-sector banks.The share of the private

    bank branches stayed nearly same between 1980 and 2000.

    Then from the early 1990s, RBI'sliberalisationpolicy came in picture and with thisthe government gave licences to a few private banks, which came to be known asnew private-sector banks.

    There are two categories of the private-sector banks: "old" and "new".

    The old private-sector banks have been operating since a long time and may bereferred to those banks, which are in operation from before 1991 and all those

    banks that have commenced their business after 1991 are called as new private-sector banks.[

    Housing Development Finance CorporationLimited was the first private bank in

    India to receive license from RBI as a part of the RBI'sliberalizationpolicy of thebanking sector, to set up a bank in the private-sector banks in India.

    THE 7 PS OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS

    PRODUCT

    (A)DEPOSITS: Savings, Current, Fixed etc.(B)ADVANCES:a) Term Loan,b) Clean Loan, c) Bills Discounting, d) Advances,e) Pre-shipment Finance, f) Post-shipment finance, g) Secured and Unsecured linesof credit.(2) Non-fund oriented: a) Guarantees, and b) Letter of Credit.(C)INTERNATIONAL BANKING: a) Letter of Credit, and b) Foreign Currency.(D)CONSULTANCY: a) Investment Counselling, b) Project Counselling, c)Merchant Banking, and d) Tax Consultancy.(E)MISCELLANEOUS: a) Traveller Cheques, b) Credit card, c) Remittances, d)Collections, e) Sale of Drafts, f) Standing instructions, and g) Trusteeship.

    As seen in the goods-service continuum, your product can have both tangible andintangible aspects, and is the thing you offer to satisfy your customers wants andneeds. Within this element, you need to consider such things as your productrange; its quality and design; its features and the benefits it offers; sizing and

    packaging; and any add-on guarantees and customer service offerings.

    PRICE

    The price mix in the banking sector is nothing but the interest rates charged by thedifferent banks.Let's understand this with an example. A particular buyer approaches for a car loansay for a period of 3 years. He is charged Rs. 20,000 as interest. however if a salesrepresentative of another bank comes to know of this deal he will try to attract thecustomer by giving him a better deal that is a loan at a lower rate on interest. In thisway due to the high level of competition the customer benefits.

    PROMOTION

    Promotion is nothing but making the customer more and more aware of theservices and benefits provided by the bank.The banks today can use a lot of new technology to communicate to theircustomers. Two of the fastest growing modern tools of communicating with thecustomers are:1. Internet Banking2. Mobile Banking

    PLACE

    Place mix is the location analysis for banks branches. There are number a factorsaffecting the determination of the location of the branch of bank. Like populationcharacteristics, commercial, proximity of other commercial outlets.

    Your choice of such channels is important, as is the variety of channels youuse. For example, a common issue for businesses beginning to trade on-line is howthat will affect their off-line business, for example selling directly through the webcould alienate retail outlets that have been the mainstay of your business in the

    past.

    PEOPLE

    The impact that your people can have on your marketing cannot be underestimated.At its most obvious, this element covers your front line sales and customer service

    staff who will have a direct impact on how your product is perceived. You need toconsider the knowledge and skills of your staff; their motivation and investment insupporting your brand. Any element of the marketing mix will also have its impacton other elements of your business, but the people element is one where theimportance of regarding marketing as an integral part of the way you do business iscrystal clear.

    PROCESS

    The process mix constitutes the overall procedure involved in using the servicesoffered by the bank.Let's take for example the process for application for a car loan.

    Now this mainly involves 3 things.1. Producing of proper documents2. Filling up of application form3. Paying for the initial down payment

    PHYSICAL EVIDENCE

    Physical evidence is the overall layout of the place. How the entire bank has beendesigned. Physical evidence refers to all those factors that helps make the processmuch easier and smoother. For example in case of a bank the physical evidencewould be the placement of the customer service executive's desk, or the location ofthe place for depositing Cheques.

    HISTORY OF ICICI BANK

    ICICI Bank was originally promoted in 1994 by ICICI Limited, an Indianfinancial institution, and was its wholly-owned subsidiary. ICICIs shareholdingin ICICI Bank was reduced to 46% through a public offering of shares in India infiscal 1998, an equity offering in the form of ADRs listed on the NYSE in fiscal2000, ICICI Banks acquisition of Bank of Madura Limited in an all-stockamalgamation in fiscal 2001, and secondary market sales by ICICI to institutionalinvestors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at theinitiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of

    Indian industry. The principal objective was to create a development financialinstitution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian

    businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a developmentfinancial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financialservices group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly andthrough a number of subsidiaries andaffiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI

    become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution fromnon-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 movetowards universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formedthe view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategicalternative for both entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for theICICI groups universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for

    ICICI shareholders through the merged entitys access to low-cost deposits,greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate inthe payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger wouldenhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale

    of operations, seamless access to ICICIs strong corporate relationships built upover five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share invarious business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vasttalent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directorsof ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly-owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited andICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank.

    PRICING MIX:

    The pricing decisions or the decisions related to interest and fee or commissioncharged by banks are found instrumental in motivating or influencing the target

    market.The RBI and IBA are concerned with regulations. The rate of interest is regulatedby the RBI and other charges are controlled by IBA.

    The pricing policy of a bank is considered important for raising the number ofcustomers the accretion of deposits. Also the quality of service provided hasdirect relationship with the fees charged. Thus while deciding the price mixcustomer services rank the top position.

    The banking organizations are required to frame two- fold strategies. First, thestrategy is concerned with interest and fee charged and the second strategy is

    related to the interest paid. Since both the strategies throw a vice- versa impact, itis important that banks attempt to establish a correlation between two. It isessential that both the buyers as well as the sellers have feeling of winning.

    Pricing ICICI Bank Products Starts With Three Basic Questions.

    1. What rate does the bank need to meet its financial objectives?Some considerations for loan and deposit pricing are:

    Related income taxes Earning assets to total assets Equity-to-asset ratio Pricing for the activities and risks associated with the product Asset and liability mixAnother element to consider in the pricing of earning assets is the risk of loss.

    Most notably, this is relevant in loan pricing. Many banks assign a risk weightingto individual loans over a certain size or based on loan type and assign a creditrisk charge based on those ratings.

    Customer relationships are difficult to assign a value to in the pricing process.Customers will generally press for some price concessions in consideration ofother relationships they have with the bank.

    Asset and liability mix also impacts pricing results. Generally speaking, banksoperating with higher loan-to-asset ratios are able to afford to pay more fordeposits. Likewise, banks can afford to be more competitive on certain deposit

    products if they have fewer maturities in a particular timeframe or less totaloutstanding balances in a product line.

    2. What is the market rate for the core product?Customers have more distribution channels available to them today than at any

    other point in history. In the past 10 years, the number of bank locations hasincreased 20%. Of course, there are the mortgage bankers, the Internet, and a hostof other financial service providers competing for your customer loan and deposit

    business.The point is, the competitive marketplace always ensures that if a financialinstitution is charging too much for loans or paying too little for deposits, itsshare of the market will likely dwindle as existing and prospective customers findalternative providers. You can do all the math you want to determine required

    pricing points, but if your pricing is uncompetitive, your market share will shrink.

    3. What would the bank have to do to sales and operations to make its rates

    the most competitive in its market?Pricing is a key issue for the associates who sell bank products to your customers.The fact is, lenders want the lowest rates, and people dealing with depositorswant to pay the highest rates. You need the right balance of fee income, strategiesto reduce operating costs, and a healthy asset and liability mix to change your

    required pricing.

    PEOPLE:

    All people directly or indirectly involved in the consumption of banking servicesare an important part of the extended marketing mix. Knowledge Workers,Employees, Management and other Consumers often add significant value to thetotal product or service offering. It is the employees of a bank which represent theorganisation to its customers.

    In a bank organization, employees are essentially thecontactpersonnel with

    customer. Therefore, an employee plays an important role in the marketingoperations of a service organisation.To realize its potential in bank marketing, ICICI become conscious in its potentialin internal marketing the attraction, development, motivation and retention ofqualified employee-customers through need meeting job-products. Internalmarketing paves way for external marketing of services. In internal marketing avariety of activities are used internally in an active, marketing like manner and ina coordinated way.

    The starting point in internal marketing is that the employees are the first internal

    market for the organization.The basic objective of internal marketing is to develop motivated and customerconscious employees.

    A service company can be only as good as its people. A service is a performanceand it is usually difficult to separate the performance from the people.

    ICICI STRATEGY FOR PROMOTION OF FINANCIAL

    INCLUSION:

    ICICI Bank has taken up specific initiatives to ramp up financial literacy as well asintermediation to the underserved and under banked segments in both rural andurban areas.ICICI Banks financial intermediation models, both through the microfinanceinstitutions and business correspondents have been designed to build a repositoryof information with regard to financial behaviour of the customers.

    ICICI Banks Financial Intermediation Models:With focus on low-income segments, ICICI Bank has come up with innovativedelivery channels:

    Microfinance

    ICICI Bank works closely with MFIs and NGOs to adapt its products to suitconsumerneeds.Two innovative models have helped achieve scale in serving the low-incomehousehold:a) Partnership Model being implemented with NGOs and MFIs: Under this modelICICI Bank forges an alliance with existing MFIs wherein the MFI undertakes the

    promotional role of identifying, training and promoting the micro-financeclients and the ICICI Bank finances the clients directly on the recommendationof the MFI, so the customer and portfolio resides in the Banks book.

    b) Securitisation of Portfolios of MFIs: Under this model ICICI Bank buys outportfolios from MFIs. The MFI continues to service the clients and acts as thecollection agent. Here again, the MFI shares the credit risk with the Bank. Avariant of the securitisation model is on-tap securitisation, wherein the MFI

    receives an advance purchase consideration to create a portfolio of loans thatcould then be periodically sold to ICICI Bank.

    Technology

    The Bank has been actively looking at technology solutions to scale up the microfinance portfolio. Further, the Bank has been considering adopting a 'Core BankingSystem' (CBS) for managing the loan portfolio generated under the partnershipmodel. In this regard, the Bank has found an able partner in FINO to providetechnology solutions to the micro finance sector. The technology solutioncomprises of core banking and smart card systems. In light of the technologysolutions available through FINO, the Bank has designed a new process fordelivering loans under the partnership model.Some of the key aspects where a strong technology platform will add value to themicro finance operations include reduction in transaction cost; better data

    management and reporting capacities and capability to interface with multipleperipherals, etc. This will also enable enhanced disclosure and transparency in theoperations of MFIs, setting a platform for robust securitisation / buyoutopportunities to meet the priority sector lending objectives of the regulator.

    Business Correspondent
