EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I have done my Summer Internship Project from KCC BANK HAMIRPUR. During my
Summer Internship Project; I implemented many concepts of Finance in the real life situation.
This project work helped me to apply theoretical knowledge into practical aspects on collected
data which was a worthy experience and during the discussion with company guide I realized
that how important the project report is for the company and me. I also realized how teamwork,
goal orientation and managing interpersonal relationships are integral part of professional life;
therefore this will definitely help me to develop qualities required for executive. In addition, I
understood products of my company and its targeted customers. Also I got information what are
the basic categories of bank products.
The customers who were not aware about the scheme say that KCC bank should improve their
promotional area through different media like T.V. radio. Print media, PR and through IMC

(Integrated Marketing Approach) and most of them votes for IMC. More than 80% of the
customers were satisfied with location and condition of the Bank and more than 50% were
satisfied with the process of disbursement, but maximum of the customers were dissatisfied with
the behavior of the employees, they give suggestions to that the KCC Bank employees should
change and improve their behavior towards their customers, from my findings I found that this
behavior of employees is due to daily routine work load from which they got stressed. I
recommend the bank to change the location of the employees from one branch to another and
give them more and more incentives and also to employ more employees from which work load
gets less and the employees will not feel any pressure and they will not feel any stress. Most of
the customers choose KCC Bank because of simple procedures and more number of branches
and the interest rates regarding their business was suitable according to them. Most of the
customers rank good about KCC bank.
The main purpose of this project work is to analyze the customer relationship management
services provided by the KCC bank and to check the level of satisfaction, towards this service,
among the customers. Consumer perception has become challenging issue for every financial
institution as every organization is trying to provide services superior to the competitors.
We did our research at the KCC bank, and the information we received there, along with the
secondary research, helped us in strengthening our knowledge base regarding the topic.
A questionnaire was chosen as a data gathering tool because given the time and cost restraints,
this proved to be the most effective method. Each of us verbally administered the questionnaire
to the customers and recorded the responses.
In general customers give the following suggestions like customized products, more number of
counters, improvement in employee behavior, provision of new schemes, use of IT and to
improve the promotional area. Most of the customers were satisfied with the overall services of
the bank and todays scenario they recommend to choose KCC bank.

Review Of Literature

Patel and sayed (1980) of the National Institute of Banking Management made a
Valuable analysis of performance and prospects of RRBs. They also gave a comparative
Picture of performance in deposits, branch expansion and credit deployment of the cooperative
banks, commercial banks and RRBs in a specified area. This was an eye opener for many
researcher engaged in this field of rural credit.
Financial express, (1986) published a study on RRBs viability, which was conducted by
Agriculture Finance Corporation in 1986 .The study revealed that viability of RRBs was
essentially dependent upon the fund management strategy, margin between resources mobility
and their deployment and on the control exercised on current and future costs with advances. The
proportion of the establishment costs to total cost and expansion of branches were the critical
factors, which affected their viability. The study further concluded that RRBs incurred losses due
to defects in their systems and as such, there was need to rectify these and make them viable. The
main suggestions of the study included improvement in infrastructure facilities and opening of
branches by commercial banks in such areas where RRBs were already in operation. However
the main limitation of the study was that its generalizations were based on the study of the
gramin bank kangra.

RENDIL. (1988) conducted a study on RRBs taking a sample of 48 beneficiaries of


Rural artisans in various district of Kashmir under J&K Bank. In this study, it was concluded that
the beneficiaries were able to find an increase in their
Income because of the finance provided by the bank

47

BALMI (1990) in his study on Performance and Growth of Regional Rural Banks in Kangra
found that these banks had benefited the beneficiaries in raising their income, productivity,
employment and use of modern practices and rehabilitate the rural artisans
SINDHU (1993) carried out a study on the topic Growth and Performance of RRB in kangra.
On the basis of the study of all RRB of kangra, it is found that there was an enormous increase in
1deposits and outstanding advances. The researcher felt the need to increase the share capital and
to ensure efficient use of distribution channels of finance to beneficiaries.
RASIL SINGH(1996) conducted a study with the objective of analyzing the role of Regional
Rural Banks in Economic Development and revealed that RRBs have been playing a vital role in
the field of rural development. Moreover, RRBs were more efficient in disbursal of loans to the
rural borrowers as compared to the commercial banks. Support from state Governments, local
participation, proper supervision of loans and opening urban branches were some steps, which
should be taken to make RRBs 'further efficient.
SAMEER (2002) Policies of current phase of financial liberalization have had an immediate,
direct, and dramatic effect on rural credit. There has been a contraction in rural banking in
general and in priority sector landing and preferential landing to the poor in particular.
AJIT PAL (2004) has examined the growth and regional distribution of rural banking over the
period 1975-2002. The documents gains made by historical underprivileged region of east,
north-east, and central kangra during the period of social and development banking. These gains
were reversed in the 1990s.

Tools and Techniques


As no study could be successfully completed without proper tools and techniques, same with my
project. For the better presentation and right explanation I used tools of statistics and computer
very frequently. And I am very thankful to all those tools for helping me a lot. Basic tools which
I used for project from statistics are- Bar Charts
- Pie charts
- Tables
Bar charts and pie charts are really useful tools for every research to show the result in a well
clear, ease and simple way. Because I used bar charts and pie charts in project for showing data
in a systematic way, so it need not necessary for any observer to read all the theoretical detail,
simple on seeing the charts anybody could know that what is being said.

Technological Tools
Ms- Excel
Ms-Access
Ms-Word

49

Above application software of Microsoft helped me a lot in making project more interactive and
productive.
Microsoft-Excel had a great role in my project, it created for me a situation of you sit and get. I
provided it simply all the detail of data and in return it given me all the relevant information..
Microsoft-Access did the performance of my personal assistant who organizes my all the details
of document without disturbing them even a single time in all the project duration.
And in last Microsoft-Word did help me for the documentation of the project in a presentable
form.
Applied Principles and Concepts
While I started to do the project the main thing which was the matter of concern was that around
what principles I have to revolve my project. Because without having any hypothesis and
objective we cannot determine that what output or result we are expecting form the project.
And second thing is that having only tools and techniques for the purpose of project is not
relevant until unless we have the principals for which we have to use those tools and techniques.

Research Methdology

Introduction and meaning:Research methodology is way to systematically solve the research problem. The research
methodology includes the various methods and techniques for conducting a researched. Salinger
and M. Stephenson in the encyclopedia of social sciences define research as the manipulation o
things, concepts or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in
the practice of an art. Research is a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for
new facts in branch of knowledge: market research specifies information. Required to address
these issues: designs the method for collecting information: manage and implements the data
collecting process analyses the results and communicates the finding and their implications

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE OF RESEARCH PROJECT


Scope of the Study Each and every project study along with its certain objectives also have
scope for future. And this scope in future gives to new researches a new need to research a new
project with a new scope. Scope of the study not only consist one or two future business plan but
sometime it also gives idea about a new business which becomes much more profitable for the
researches then the older one.
Scope of the study could give the projected scenario for a new successful strategy with a proper
implementation plan.
Whatever scope I observed in my project are not exactly having all the features of the scope
which I described above but also not lacking all the features.

51

Research study could give an idea of network expansion for capturing more market and
customer with better services and lower cost, with out compromising with quality.

In future customer requirements could be added with the product and services for getting
an edge over competitors.

Consumer behavior could also be used for the purpose of launching a new product with
extra benefits which are required by customers for their account (saving or current )
and/or for their investments.

Factors which are responsible for the performance for bank can also be used for the
modification of the strategy and product for being more profitable.

Factors which I observed while doing project study are followingCompetitors


Customer Behavior
Advertisement/promotional activities
Attitude of manpower and
Economic conditions

These all could also be interchanged with each other for each other in banks strategies for making a final
business plan to effect the market with a positive way without disturbing a lot to market, customers and
competitors with disturbance in market shares.

52

PROBLEM DEFINITION:
Personal Banker were with good background human being and through rigorous process of
recruitment but still not able to perform up to the expectation level of company, HR is not able to
sort out the problem why the performance is not coming even after giving the full marketing and
operational support. So there is need to study the customers perception and attitude towards the
various products and services provided by the bank.
RESEARCH: - It means search for facts, answers to questions and solutions to problems.

RESEARCH DESIGN:
Research design constitutes the blue print for the collection, measurement and analysis of data.
The present study seeks to identify the perception of consumers on KCC Bank in Kangra. The
research design is exploratory in nature. The research has been conducted on users within
Kangra. For the selection of the sample, convenient sampling method was adopted and an
attempt has been made to include all the age groups and gender within different occupation.

Type of Research
The present study will adopt the exploratory approach wherein, there is a need to gather large
amount of information before making a conclusion.

DEVELOPING THE RESEARCH PLAN:


The data for this research project has been collected through self Administration. Due to time
limitation and other constraints direct personal interview method is used. A structured
questionnaire was framed as it is less time consuming, generates specific and to the point
information, easier to tabulate and interpret. Moreover respondents prefer to give direct answers.

53

COLLECTION OF DATA:
1: SECONDARY DATA: It was collected from internal sources. The secondary data was
collected on the basis of organizational file, official records, news papers, magazines,
management books, preserved information in the companys database and website of the
company.
2: PRIMARY DATA: All the people from different profession were personally visited and
interviewed. They were the main source of Primary data. The method of collection of primary
data was direct personal interview through a structured questionnaire.
SAMPLING PLAN: Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessary to
take sample from the universe to know about its characteristics.
Sampling Units: Different professionals. Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants, Lawyers,
Business Man, Professionals and Students of Kangra.

Sample Technique: Random Sampling.

Research Instrument: Structured Questionnaire.

Contact Method: Personal Interview.

SAMPLE SIZE: My sample size for this project was 50 respondents. Since it was not possible
to cover the whole universe in the available time period, it was necessary for me to take a sample
size of 50 respondents.
DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT: The mode of collection of data
will be based on Survey Method and Field Activity. Primary data collection will base on personal
interview. I have prepared the questionnaire according to the necessity of the data to be collected.

54

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY


It is said, nothing is perfect and there would be few shortcoming in this project also. Sincere
efforts have been made to eliminate discrepancies as far as possible but few would have
remained due to limitation of the study.
Time seemed to be our most limited resource. To conduct a comprehensive research project in a
6 week period is very difficult.
The absence of appropriate funding limited the extent of our study. With additional financial
resources, the scope of our study could have been enlarged, resulting in a more representative
study.
Interview bias could not be avoided as in case of many surveys open ended questions involve the
use of probing techniques that increase interview bias. However, as our study did not use many
open ended questions, the extent of the bias was reduced.
It was not possible to understand thoroughly about the different marketing aspects of the
Financial Consultant within 45 days. As stipend, money was not given it was difficult to continue
the project work. All the work was limited in some limited areas of Kangra so the findings
should not be generalized. The area of research was Kangra and it was too vast an area to cover
within 45 days.

FINDINGS

1. KCC bank should improve their promotional area through different media like T.V,
Radio, Print media etc.
2. Maximum of the customers are dissatisfied with the behavior of employees. From my
findings I found that this behavior of employees is due to the daily routine workload from
which they got stressed.
3. With the changing trend people becoming financial literate by which the demand for
banking sector is increasing.
4. It is found that people have more faith in public sector bank then private bank.
5. People are not much aware about the various products of the bank.
6. Customers choose KCC Bank because of simple procedure and the low interest rates.
7. Most of the customers were satisfied with the overall services of the bank and todays
scenario they recommend to choose KCC Bank.
8. Bank has to employ more employees to get reduce their workload among them.
9. Company should open more branches in different cities.

69

Conclusions
KCC Bank, the banking arm of KCC is expected to go on stream. The bank already has good
number of employees on board and is recruiting personal banker heavily to take the headcount to
many more. It is on the brim of increasing its customers through its attractive schemes and offer.
The project opportunities provided was market segmentation and to know the perception of
prospective customers in potential geographical location and convincing them to attract more
customers so that new business opportunities of the bank can be explored. Through this project,
it could be concluded that people are not much aware about the various products of the bank and
many of them not interested to open an account, to invest money at all. Majority of people have
more faith in public sector banks as compare to private banks. Professionals and businessman are
more attracted towards the products and services provided by the KCC bank as compare to
people in services and students. Services was considered as unsought good which require hard
core selling, but in changing trend in income and people becoming financially literate, the
demand for banking sector is increasing day by day. So, at last the conclusion is that there is
tough competition ahead for the company from its major competitors in the banking sector. Last
but not the least I would like to thank KCC Bank for giving me an opportunity to work in the
field of Marketing and Operation. I hope the company finds my analysis relevant.

Recommendations

Finally some recommendations for the company are as follows:

To make people aware about the benefit of becoming a customer of KCC Bank, following
activities of advertisement should be done through

1. Print Media.
3. Stalls in Trade Fares

2. Hoarding & Banners.


4. Distribution of leaflets containing details information.

Other facilities must be providing to the customer:

The bank should provide life time valid ATM card to all its customers.

Minimum balance for savings account should be reduced from Rs 5000 to Rs 1000, so
that people who are not financially strong enough can maintain their account properly.

The company should provide a pass book to all its customers.

Make people understand about the various benefits of its products.

Company should organize the program in the society, so that people will be aware about
the company and different products of the bank.

Company should open more branches in different cities.

71
