COMPANY PROFILE
Banking Industry
A banking company in India has been defined in the Banking companies Act, 1949 as
one which transacts the business of banking which means the accepting, for the purpose of
lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or
otherwise and withdrawals by cheque, draft, order or otherwise.
Banking is an important element of economys Indian banking system overt past few
decades, it has played very effective role in mobilization of savings of the economy ,spreading
in banking habit to the furthest corner of the country and large entrepreneurial base. Indian
banks have multiplied their activities in volume, variety and geographical base to meet the
growing needs of the society. The old methods and techniques replaced by new techniques of
viability need based formation of finance schemes and marketing.
Instead of working for profits, they are required to participate in nation building
activitiesand help in bringing socio economic change.
Banks are new centre of trade, commerce and business in a country. Banking plays a
veryimportant role in the economic development of all nation of the world. Industrial
revolution that took place in the economic development of all nations of the world.
Industrial revolution that took place in European countries in 18th and 19th centuries
would not have taken place without the evolution of good banking system. Banking is life
blood of modern commerce.
It is very important to study the concept of services as banks are categorized into service
sector: service as deeds, processes and performances. The service sector of an economy is
going through a period of almost revolutionary proportion in which established ways of doing
business continue to be shunted aside. The banking system in India constitutes the core of the
financial sector. It plays a significant role in the process of economic growth of the country. Its
efficiency and development thus are vital for the countrys economic progress. Commercial
banks are
the hub of the Indian financial system. Indian commercial banks are organized as the joint
stock banks, both in the public sector and private sector.

Public sector banks


Banking is one of the most important elements of economy. Indian banking system over
past few decades has played a very effective role in mobilization of savings of the economy
spreading in banking habit to the furthest corner of the country and enlarged entrepreneurial
base. Indian banks have multiplied their activities in volume variety and geographical coverage
to meet the growing needs of society, the old methods and techniques of viability growth based
formation of finance schemes of marketing. Instead of working for profits, they are required to
participate in the nation building activities and help in bringing socio-economic change.
Banking transactions carried on by any individual or firm engaged in providing financial
services to consumers, businesses or government enterprises. In the broad sense, a bank is a

financial intermediary that performs one or more of the following functions: safeguards and
transfer of funds, guarantees credit worthiness and exchange money. Such institutions as
commercial banks, central banks, organizational banks, trust companies, finance companies,
life insurers and investment bankers provide these services. A normal end mean common
definition of a bank is a financial intermediary that accepts, transfer and most important creates
deposits. This includes such deposits institutes as central banks, commercial banks, savings and
loan associates and mutual savings bank.
Banks are most frequently organized in corporate form and owned by either private
individual, government interests. Although non corporate bank that single proprietorship and
partnership are find in other countries since 1863 all federally chartered bank in the US must
be corporations. Only a few states permit formation of non corporate bank. All countries
subject their banks, however owned to government regulations and supervision, normally
implemented by central banks authorities. Bank in India should develop appropriate strategy
and ensure proper marketing strategy and mistaking into account the economic, cultural, legal
and political environment. As toady in the changes word the needs are changed as regards to
bank as foreign players .Marketing concept should be followed where we talk about 4 Ps
marketing tools in regards to banks; we should include to more 2 Ps more, People and
Procedures as well An introduction of ATM 24 hours online banking transactions etc their goal
should not be of profit it should be growth and development with profit The service sector of
the economy is going through a period of almost revolutionary proportions in which
established ways of doing business continue to be shunted aside. It has been said that the only
person in the world who appreciates changes is wet baby.
The service sector can be best characterized by its diversity. Service organization range
insize from huge International Corporation in such fields as airlines, banking,
insurance,telecommunications, and hotel chain and freight transportation to a vast array of
locallyowned and operated small business and numerous business to business services. As
currently defined by the government statistics, services account for the two third to three
quarters of the gross national product. Not only in US but also in many other highly develop
industrial nations.
In the banking and financial services business: this area comprises many different types of
businesses, commercial and retail, with a common denomination, of being in business to help
customer to make or manage money. A high level of trust is implicit and is even more critical
in the wake of the savings and loan scandals of the 1980s. The retail banking industry has
found its historic image of aloofness, a management The public sector banks largely dominate
the Indian banking industry. These banks till early 90s were involved in the traditional banking
business of deposits and credit lending.They performed a supporting role in the overall growth
of economy. While most of these banks used to focus on growth of balance-sheet profitability
was not a significant competition. In most of the banks government has holding of 100%
whereas in the few banks the state has fallen because of public issue in the post liberalization
period. Some
of other leading banks in the segment also proposed to come out with an equity issue to
raise further capital. The public sector banks have a strong distribution network all over the
country. But the strength of earlier periods has now coming out with VRS to bring down

number of employees and improve their efficiency ratio. The public sector banks still control a
major share in banking operation of the country.

Private sector Banks


The banking regulation act was amended in 1993 permitting the entry of new private
sector banks. The act also specified certain criteria for establishing new private sector banks.
The criteria are as follows1. the banks should have a minimum net worth of Rs. 1 billion
2. The promoters holding should be minimum 25% of paid up capital.
The last decade witnessed the maturity of Indias financial markets. Since 1991, every
governments of India took major steps in reforming the financial sector of the country.
The important achievements in the following fields are achieved in following heads:

Financial Markets
In the last decade, private sector banks / institutions played an important role. They
grew rapidly in commercial banking and asset management business. With the openings in the
insurance sector for these institutions, they started making debt in the market.

Regulators
The Finance Ministry continuously formulated major policies in the field of financial
sector of the country. The Government accepted the important role of regulators. The Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) has become more independent. Opinions are also that there should be a
super- regulator for the financial services sector instead of multiplicity of regulators.

The banking system


Almost 80% of the business is still controlled by the Public Sector Banks (PSBs). PSB
are still dominating the commercial banking system. Shares of the leading PSBs are already
listed on the stock exchanges.
The RBI has given licenses to new private sector banks as part of the liberalization
process. The RBI has also been granting licenses to industrial houses. Many banks are
successfully running in the consumer segments, industrial finance, retail trade, small business
and agriculture finances.

Overall approach to reforms


The last ten years have seen major improvements in the working of various financial
market participants. The government and the regulatory authorities followed the step by step
approach, not a bang one. The entry of foreign banks has assisted in the introduction of
international practices and systems. On the whole, the cumulative effect of the developments
since 1991 has been quite encouraging.

Deregulation of Banking System


In order to reach the stipulated capital adequacy norms, substantial capital were
provided by the Government and RBI.
Government pre-emption of banks resources through statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and
cash reserve ratio (CRR) brought down in steps. Interest rates on the deposits and lending sides
almost entirely were deregulated.
New private sector banks allowed promoting and encouraging competition. PSBs were
encouraged to approach the public for raising resources. Recovery of debts due to banks and
the Financial Institutions Act 1993 were passed, and special recovery tribunals set up to
facilitate quicker recovery of loan arrears.

Consolidation imperative
Another aspect of the financial sector reforms in India is the consolidation of existing
institutions which is especially applicable to the commercial banks. In India the banks are huge
quantity. First, there is no need for 27 PSBs with branches all over India. A number of them
can be merged. The merger of Punjab National Bank and New Bank of India was difficult one,
but the situation is different now. No one expected so many employees to take voluntary
retirement from PSBs, which at one time were much sought after jobs. Private sector banks
will be self consolidated while co-operative and rural banks will encouraged for consolidation,
and anyway play only a niche role.

Global Competencies
The progress and growth of Indian banking sector is in the line with the twin objective
of financial stability and growth. Banking in India has increased its size by capitalizing on all
the business opportunity available. The capital adequacy ratio of Indian banks has increased
and is now in a much better position in relation to the other emerging market economies. The
ratio is well in line with the proposed new Basel norms. Several banks raised capital and some
more banks are on the way.

Guidelines and Governance


Meeting capital adequacy norms in the recent times gained importance with the deadline
for the implementation of Basel II Accord approaching closer. The average Capital Adequacy
Ratio (CAR) of Indian banks stood at 12.8% at March 31, 2005, much above the prescribed
norms. In order to enhance capital adequacy ratio, seven banks including ICICI bank and
Punjab National bank, have raised capital in primary markets to the tune of Rs.12, 000 crores
during the year 2005. it has been decided that banks which have maintained capital at least 9%
of the risk weighted assets for both credit risk and market risks of both Held For Trade(HFT)
and Available For Sale(AFT) categories as on March 31, 2006, would be permitted to treat
the entire balance in the Investment Fluctuation Reserve as tier-I capital. This will help banks

to enhance their CAR. Reserve bank Of India (RBI) has given guidelines to have minimum net
worth of Rs. 300 crores for private banks.
New guidelines have been introduced in the Indian banking system to measure up to the
international banking practices. The Indian Bankers Association (IBA) has come up with Fair
Practices Code to improve corporate governance. Banks in India should now explicitly state
their governance philosophy in their Annual Reports as part of Notes on Accounts to their
balance sheets. Risk based supervision was introduced in some selected banks. Guidelines have
been issued to banks not to outsource core-banking functions.Emphasis has been placed on the
role of bank boards. In a move to give freedom in thefunctioning of private banks, RBI has
withdrawn its nominee directors from almost all the private sector banks. Amendments have
also been proposed to remove the provisions of having nominated officers of RBI in public
sector banks in order to bring their functioning at par with private banks.
Governments shareholding in several Public Sector Banks (PSBs) reached close to
51%. To continue governments stipulated minimum shareholding in PSBs, the finance
ministry asked the RBI to come up with the guidelines on hybrid instruments, which can be
treated as capital.

Performance
The year 2005 has been good for the Indian banking. There was robust growth in
creditflow during the year. Credit deposit ratio increased by more than 10% and substantialpart
of the banks commercial credit went to large borrowers at sub-PLR rates.
Government wants to further push up the loan to GDP ratio from 43% to 50%. The most
significant jump in credit was to real estate sector. Credit to agriculture has been in line
with the governments objective of doubling its credit in the coming five years.The banking
industry has managed to improve its operating profit ratio by reducing its operating costs/staff
expenses. The asset quality in Indian banking sector has shown considerable improvement. The
gross Non Performing Assets (NPAs) to advances ratio for the sector declined to 5% in FY05
from 16% in FY97 The Indian banking has improved efficiency in its operations. Cost to
income has come down. Interest income of the entire banking sector has increased. The return
on assets of the foreign banks have
been highest, followed by the private sector banks. Revenue sources of banks been diversified.
They have entered into the business of selling thirdparty products to increase their income.
Banks are trying to increase fee-based income as interest income continues to be under
pressure and profits from tradi8ng keep declining.
Investments in Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) securities of banks have declined
however, the ratio is in excess of the statutory limit. RBI reduced the reverse repo rate during
the year to direct the funds to the needed areas. Most of the investments held by private sector
banks were in the maturity bucket of a less than a year while the public sector banks
investments were ranging from one-year to five-year maturity buckets.
At the same time, technological development in the sector helped the banks in
diversifying their business activities to offer different services to customers. Introduction of
core banking solutions has enabled the banks to segregate the credit sourcing (front office) and
appraisal (back office) functions. Many banks will aggressively position themselves on an end-

to-end solution. The total Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) transactions increased from
1,91,792 in March 2005 to 3,84,176 in September 2005.

Merger and Acquisitions


The banking industry saw some consolidation during the year. There was the reverse merger of
IDBI with IDBI Bank, and Centurion Bank of Punjab was created through the merger of Bank
of Punjab with centurion Bank and again Centurion bank of Punjab merger with HDFC Bank.
SBI has a network of 60 overseas offices spread over 29 countries. The bank has
acquired 76% stake worth $6 million in closely held PT Bank IndoMonex, securing a foothold
in Indonesia ,and a similar stake in Kenyas Giro Commercial Bank ltd. In February 2005, it
acquired a 51% of the Mauritius based Indian Ocean International Bank Ltd. And it also gained
permission to set up branches in Saudi Arabia. It has also merged its subsidiary-IndoNigerian
Bank-with a local bank, Nal Bank. The SBI has also stated to start its retail business in
Shanghai later this year.
ICICI Bank in a span of just four years has emerged as retail banking behemoth. The
bank in order to increase its presence overseas has acquired a Russian bank,
InvestitsionnoKredimy Bank, also aims to take advantage of increased presence of the Indian
corporates in Russia and South Africa. The bank is also planning to make Bahrain its hub
especially for trading in commodities. It has emerged as the largest seller of bad loans to the
Asset Reconstruction Company of India.
Punjab National Bank will shortly be converting its representative offices in London
into a subsidiary unit. PNB is in the process of initiating internal discussions to plan and
identify acquisition of banks overseas. PNB has targeted to disburse loans to the tune of
Rs.8,000 crores in retail segment by the end of this fiscal as against the total retail loan
disbursement of Rs. 6,500 crores during the last fiscal.

Way forward
The future of banking sector looks bright. A few more Indian banks are interested in
starting overseas operations, either by starting by starting their representative offices of by the
opening branches abroad. Till October 2005, 14 Indian banks had overseas operations spread
across 42 countries. Apart from global expansion, banks will also augment their domestic
lending to agriculture as per the government directions. Banks started designing new programs
such as No frills accounts to reach a large number of customers in rural areas where they can
maintain zero balance. Several banks have already started this no frills accounts.
As more and more infrastructure projects are expected to come up, banks will find
themselves ncreasingly invested in that sector. The share of equity as funding route
forcompanies is bound to grow as capital market looks growing and number of new public
offerings are rising. Banking sector is expected to raise the funds to the tune of Rs. 600 billion
over the next five years to push up the loans to GDP ratio. Several banks including Central
Bank, Union Bank, Bank of India and South Indian Bank plan to hit the primary market to

comply with capital requirement norms. Dena Bank that raised the capital last year is expected
to hit the capital market again this year.
The increase in ratios such as Credit Deposit Ratio and Capital Adequacy Ratio and
decrease in Gross NPAs to deposits indicate that banks would improve their financial position
in future. As economy is set to grow at a healthy rate, more and more infrastructure
development is set to take place, and Indian banking sector is expected to play an important
role in the same.

HDFC Bank and Centurion Bank of Punjab merger at share swap ratio of 1:29 The
Boards of HDFC Bank and Centurion Bank of Punjab met on 25 February, 2008 and approved,
subject to due diligence, the share swap ratio for the proposed merger of Centurion Bank of
Punjab with HDFC Bank. The Scheme of Amalgamation envisages a share exchange ratio of
one share of HDFC Bank for twenty nine shares of Centurion Bank of Punjab. The combined
entity would have a nationwide network of 1,148 branches (the largest amongst private sector
Banks) a strong deposit base of around Rs. 1,200 billion and net advances of around Rs.
850billion. The balance sheet size of the combined entity would be over Rs. 1,500 billion.
Commenting on the proposed merger, Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chairman, HDFC said, We were
amongst the first to get a banking license, the first to do a merger in the private sector with
Times Bank in 1999, and now if this deal happens, it would be the largest merger in the private
sector banking space in India. HDFC Bank was looking for an appropriate merger opportunity
that would add scale,
geography and experienced staff to its franchise. This opportunity
arose and we thought it is an attractive route to supplement HDFC Banks organic growth. We
believe that Centurion Bank of Punjab would be the right fit in terms of culture, strategic intent
and approach to business. Mr. Aditya Puri, Managing Director, HDFC Bank said, These are
exciting times for the Indian banking industry. The proposed merger will position the
combined entity to significantly exploit opportunities in a market globally recognized as one of
the fastest growing. Im particularly bullish about the potential of business synergies and
cultural fit between the two organizations. The combined entity will be an even greater force in
the market. Mr. Rana Talwar, Chairman, Centurion Bank of Punjab stated, Over the last few
years, Centurion Bank of Punjab has set benchmarks for growth. The bank today has a large
nationwide network, an extremely valuable franchise, 7,500 talented employees, and strong
leadership positions in the market place. I believe that the merger with HDFC Bank will create
a world class bank in quality and scale and will set the stage to compete with banks both
locally as well on a global level.
Mr. Shailendra Bhandari, Managing Director and CEO, Centurion Bank of Punjab said,
We are extremely pleased to receive the go ahead from our board to pursue this opportunity. A
merger between the banks provides significant synergies to the combined entity. The proposed
merger would further improve the franchise and customer proposition offered by the individual

1.2.1 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
pointinformation, easier to tabulate and interpret. Moreover respondents prefer to give direct
answers.In questionnaires open ended and closed ended, both the types of questions has been
used.

4.2.2 COLLECTION OF DATA:


1: SECONDARY DATA:

It was collected from internal sources. The secondary data wascollected on the basis of
organizational file, official records, news papers, magazines,management books, preserved
information in the companys database and website of thecompany.

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.

1.3

SAMPLING PLAN:

Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessaryto take sample from the
universe to know about its characteristics.
Sampling Units: Different professionals. Chartered Accountants, Tax Consultants,
Lawyers, Business Man, Professionals and House Wives of Gorakhpur.
Sample Technique: Random Sampling.
Research Instrument: Structured Questionnaire.
Contact Method: Personal Interview.

4.4 SAMPLE SIZE: My sample size for this project was 200 respondents. Since it was not

take a sample size of 200 respondents.

4.5 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.

THEORETICAL BACKGROND

1 Customer satisfaction
Satisfaction level is the level of persons felt state resulting from comparing products perceived
performance (or outcome) in relation to the persons expectation.
Thus satisfaction level is function of difference between perceived performance & expectation.
A customer could experience one of three broad levels of satisfaction:

If the performance falls short of expectations, the customer is dissatisfied.

If the performance matches to the expectations of the customer, then the customer is
satisfied.

If the performance exceeds the expectations of the customer, the customer is highly
satisfied, pleased or delighted.

But how do the customer expectations? Expectations are formed on the basis of the buyers past
buying experience statements made by the friends & associates, & marketer & competitor information
& promises. If marketers raise the expectations too high the buyer is likely to be disappointed.
Some of the todays most successful companies are raising expectation & delivering the
performance. The companies are aiming high because customers who are just satisfied will still find it
easy to switch supplier when a better offer comes along. The fact is that high satisfaction or delight
creates an emotional affinity with the brand, not just a rational preference, and this creates customers
high loyalty.
Companies seeking to win in todays markets must track their customers expectations perceived
company performance, and customer satisfaction. They need to monitor this for the competitors as
well. Companies that achieve high customer satisfaction ratings make sure that their target market
knows it. The customer centered firms seeks to create high customer satisfaction it is not out to
maximize customer satisfaction.

First they can increase the customer satisfaction by lowering the price or increasing its
services, but this may result in low profits.
Second, the company might be able to increase its profitability in the other ways, such as by
improving its manufacturing or investing more in R&D.
Third; the company has many stakeholders including employees, dealers, suppliers &
stockholders. Spending more to increase the customer satisfaction would divert funds from
increasing the satisfaction of the other partners. Ultimately, the company must operate on the
philosophy that it is trying to delivery a high level of customer satisfaction level subject to
delivering at least acceptable levels of the satisfaction to the other stockholders within the
constraints of its total resources.

3.2 Methods of tracking and measuring customer satisfaction


Complaint and suggestions system
A customer centered organization would make it easy for its a customer to deliver suggestions
and complaints. Many restaurants and hotels provide forms for guests to report likes and dislikes. A
hospital could place suggestion boxes in the corridors, supply comment cards to the exiting patients,
and hire patient advocate to handle patient grievances. Some customer centered companies P&G,
General Electric, and Whirlpool establish customer hot lines with a toll free 800 telephone
numbers to maximize the ease with which the customers can inquire, make suggestions, or complain.
These information flows provide these companies with many good ideas and enable them to act more
rapidly to resolve the problems.

These information flows provide these companies with many good ideas and enable them to act more

Customer satisfaction surveys


A company must not conclude that it can get a full picture of customer satisfaction &
dissatisfaction by simply a complaint & suggestion system. A study shows that customers are
dissatisfied with one out of the four and less than 5% of the dissatisfied customers will complain.
Customers may feel that their complaints are minor, or that they will be made to be stupid, or that no
remedy will be offered. Most customers will buy less or switch the suppliers rather than complain. The
result is that company has needlessly lost the customer.
Therefore, companies cannot use the complaint levels as a measure of customer satisfaction.
Responsive companies obtain a direct measure of customer satisfaction by conducting periodic
surveys. They send questionnaires or make telephone calls to random sample of their recent customer
to find out how they feel about various aspects of the companies performance.
Customers satisfaction can be measured in number of ways. It can be measured directly by
asking: indicate how satisfied you are with the service X on the following scale: highly satisfied
(directly reported satisfaction). Respondents can be asked as well to rate how much they are expected
of as certain attribute and also how much they are experienced (derived satisfaction). Still another
method is to ask respondents to list any problems they have had with the offer and to list any
improvements they could suggest (problem analysis). Finally, companies could respondents to rate
various elements of the offer in the terms of the importance of the each element and how well the
organization performed each element (importance/ performance ratings).this last method helps the
company to know if it is underperforming on important elements and over performing on relatively
unimportant elements.

While, collecting customer satisfaction data, it would also be useful to ask additional questions
to measure the customers repurchase intention; this will normally be high if the customer satisfaction is
high.
Ghost shopping
Another useful way to gather a picture of customer satisfaction is to hire the persons to pose as
the potential buyers to report their findings on strong and weak points they experienced in buying the
companies & competitors product. These ghost shoppers can even pose certain problems to test
whether to companies sales personnel handle the situation well. Thus a ghost shopper can complain
about a restaurants food to test how the restaurant handles this complaint. Not only should companies
hire ghost shoppers, but managers themselves should leave their office to time to time, enter company
& competitor sales situation where they are unknown and experienced firsthand the treatment they
revive as the customers
Lost Customer Analysis
Companies should contact customers who have stopped buying have switched to another
supplier to learn why this is happened. When IBM loses a customer, they mount a thorough effort to
learn where they failed is their price too high, their service deficient, their products unreliable, and so
on. Not only is it important to conduct exit interviews but also to monitor the customer loss rate which,
if it is increasing, clearly indicates that the company is failing to satisfy its customers.
Some cautions in measuring Customer Satisfaction
When customers rate their satisfaction with an element of the companys performance, say delivery, we
need to recognize that customers will vary in how they define good delivery; it could mean early
delivery, on-time delivery, order completeness, and so on. Yet if the company had to spell out every
element in detail, customers would face a huge questionnaire. We must also recognize that two
customers can report being highly satisfied for a different reasons. One may be easily satisfied most
of the times and the other might be hard to please on this occasion.

Companies should also note that managers and salespersons can manipulate their rating on the
customers on customer satisfaction. They can be especially nice to customers just before the survey.
They can also try to exclude unhappy customers from the included in the survey.
One of the danger is that if the customer know that the company will go out of its way to please the
customers, some customers may want to express high dissatisfaction(even if satisfied) in order to
receive more concessions.

3.4 Investing!! What's that?


Judging by the fact that you've taken the trouble to navigate to the Learning Center of
ICICIDirect, our guess is that you don't need much convincing about the wisdom of investing.
However, we hope that your quest for knowledge/information about the art/science of investing ends
here. Sink in. Knowledge is power. It is common knowledge that money has to be invested wisely. If
you are a novice at investing, terms such as stocks, bonds, badla, undha badla, yield, P/E ratio may
sound Greek and Latin. Relax. It takes years to understand the art of investing. You're not alone in the
quest to crack the jargon. To start with, take your investment decisions with as many facts as you can
assimilate. But, understand that you can never know everything. Learning to live with the anxiety of
the unknown is part of investing. Being enthusiastic about getting started is the first step, though
daunting at the first instance. That's why our investment course begins with a dose of encouragement:
With enough time and a little discipline, you are all but guaranteed to make the right moves in the
market. Patience and the willingness to pepper your savings across a portfolio of securities tailored to
suit your age and risk profile will propel your revenues at the same time cushion you against any major
losses. Investing is not about putting all your money into the "Next Infosys," hoping to make a killing.
Investing isn't gambling or speculation; it's about taking reasonable risks to reap steady rewards.
Investing is a method of purchasing assets in order to gain profit in the form of reasonably predictable
income (dividends, interest, or rentals) and appreciation over the long term.

Why should you invest?

Simply put, you should invest so that your money grows and shields you against rising inflation.
The rate of return on investments should be greater than the rate of inflation, leaving you with a nice
surplus over a period of time. Whether your money is invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or
certificates of deposit (CD), the end result is to create wealth for retirement, marriage, college fees,
vacations, better standard of living or to just pass on the money to the next generation. Also, it's
exciting to review your investment returns and to see how they are accumulating at a faster rate than
your salary.
When to Invest?
The sooner the better. By investing into the market right away you allow your investments more
time to grow, whereby the concept of compounding interest swells your income by accumulating your
earnings and dividends. Considering the unpredictability of the markets, research and history indicates
these three golden rules for all investors 1. Invest early 2. Invest regularly 3. Invest for long term and
not short term while its tempting to wait for the best time to invest, especially in a rising market,
remember that the risk of waiting may be much greater than the potential rewards of participating.
Trust in the power of compounding is growth via reinvestment of returns earned on your savings.
Compounding has a snowballing effect because you earn income not only on the original investment
but also on the reinvestment of dividend/interest accumulated over the years. The power of
compounding is one of the most compelling reasons for investing as soon as possible. The earlier you
start investing and continue to do so consistently the more money you will make. The longer you leave
your money invested and the higher the interest rates, the faster your money will grow. That's why
stocks are the best long-term investment tool. The general upward momentum of the economy
mitigates the stock market volatility and the risk of losses. Thats the reasoning behind investing for
long term rather than short term.

How much money do I need to invest?

There is no statutory amount that an investor needs to invest in order to generate adequate
returns from his savings. The amount that you invest will eventually depend on factors such as: Your
risk profile Your Time horizon Savings made All the above three factors will be discussed in brief in
the latter part of the course.
What can you invest in?
The investing options are many, to name a few Stocks Bonds Mutual funds Fixed deposits Others
Read about them in detail in module 2 of the course.
What are options?
Some people remain puzzled by options. The truth is that most people have been using options
for some time, because options are built into everything from mortgages to insurance. An option is a
contract, which gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell shares of the underlying
security at a specific price on or before a specific date. Option, as the word suggests, is a choice
given to the investor to either honour the contract; or if he chooses not to walk away from the contract.
To begin, there are two kinds of options: Call Options and Put Options. A Call Option is an option to
buy a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In this way, Call options are like security
deposits. If, for example, you wanted to rent a certain property, and left a security deposit for it, the
money would be used to insure that you could, in fact, rent that property at the price agreed upon when
you returned. If you never returned, you would give up your security deposit, but you would have no
other liability. Call options usually increase in value as the value of the underlying instrument rises.
When you buy a Call option, the price you pay for it, called the option premium, secures your right to
buy that certain stock at a specified price called the strike price. If you decide not to use the option to
buy the stock, and you are not obligated to, your only cost is the option premium. Put Options are
options to sell a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In this way, Put options are like
insurance policies If you buy a new car, and then buy auto insurance on the car, you pay a premium
and are, hence, protected if the asset is damaged in an accident. If this happens, you can use your
policy you pay a premium and are, hence, protected if the asset is damaged in an accident. If this
happens, you can use your policy

The Mutual Fund Industry

The genesis of the mutual fund industry in India can be traced back to 1964 with the setting up of
the Unit Trust of India (UTI) by the Government of India. Since then UTI has grown to be a dominant
player in the industry. UTI is governed by a special legislation, the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963.

Conclusion
Though share trading is not a cup of tea of everyone, common man can also earn money through it.
Customer wants to invest their money, but they are confused whether to invest or not. They dont have
full knowledge about the stock market.
Customer can buy and sell securities on the stock exchanges, through online automated order
processing system provided by the company. Customer can log on at any time, during or after trade

invest in Mutual Fund, IPO, Bonds and Postal Saving.
Mostly small investors are not satisfied with the brokerage rates of the HDFC Many customers are
now attracting towards the

other investment like commodity market.

Organization has to concentrate on separate office and other infrastructural facilities. Organization
has to make more advertisement through pamphlet distribution in local newspaper and TV
advertisement through the local channel Organization has to organize such session on stock market
update, which helps to increase customer awareness about stock market.
