INTERPRETATION
i. The Indian banking sector has scored over its counterparts not only in
developing but also even in developed world such as Japan, Singapore and
Australia on significant parameters.
ii. Technology has given birth to a new era in banking. Technology can be
the key differentiator between two banks and a major factor to attain
competitive edge. Though slow in the beginning, HDFC Bank seem to
have paced up in adoption of advanced technology.
iii. While enhancement of credit is an important function of the Banks, it is
equally imperative to keep a check on the quality of credit to ensure good
health of the banking system and effective functioning of market for
distressed assets.
65

iv. One of the key fundamentals of banking sector – Credit Quality too has
been rated fairly well in comparison with other Banks.
v. Even though HDFC Bank is a big player in Indian Banking sector still it is
not yet penetrated in the rural areas of India to a very great extend.
vi. HDFC Bank as earlier said is a large player in the Indian Banking
Sector, however when it comes to banking infrastructure it is one of its
weak. And so labour inflexibilities.

FINDINGS
&
CONCLUSIONS

FINDINGS
As stated earlier there are main two types of consumers in this field and they are:
1 Small Business consumers
2. Big Business consumers
WAYS TO COMPETE (FINDINGS)
Now all are competing with each other on the basis of different strategies or
combination of one or more strategies. But if we try to summarize the strategies
then we will find that most of these are common and including all these are not
more than the followings: -
i. QUALITY SERVICE:
Quality Service is the most important strategy used to compete in this market
because customers is no more centric only in India, they need better quality in the
service provided to them. The policy of ONE PIONT CONTACT should be
followed by HDFC Bank.
ii. ADVERTISEMENTS:
Only ICICI BANK and UTI BANK are countering HDFC BANK in market
through advertisements. Others are not even bothering on doing advertisements.
iii. PERFORMANCE:
HDFC Bank lacks on the prompt action where as others are a bit ahead in this
line. HDFC Bank takes nearly 8 10 days to open a salary account for tie customer
company. This is mainly because HDFC bank follows the guidelines of RBI and
69

the required number of documents for account opening in a bit regress. But when
it comes to service performance customers are happy.
iv. DIFFERENT SCHEMES:
Some additional facilities should be provided to large companies in order increase
Brand Value as well as bring customer loyalty.
v. POTENTIAL MARKET:
The current account holders should be contacted as there is less amount of
documentation and lesser time is spend in convincing the customer about HDFC
Bank firstly and secondly about Salary Account.
Conclusions
MARKET FEEDBACK ABOUT HDFC BANKS CORPORATE SALARY
ACCOUNT (CONCLUSION):
As a summer trainee in HDFC BANK, I would like to conclude my project work
on Marketing Strategies of HDFC Bank India Ltd. It was really very interesting
interacting with customers and have an insight into HDFC Banks brand image in
their minds.
The main aim was to know the factors & attributes of brand, and services
provided by it, which companies look for in Corporate Salary Account. From the
survey, overall conclusion was that people are quite satisfied with HDFC Banks
Corporate Salary Account services.

CHAPTER-8
SUGGESTIONS
&
RECOMMENDATIONS
71

SUGGESTIONS
After talking to customers and staffs I suggest the following points to keep
customers happy
QUICK SERVICE: -
HDFC Bank must try to provide services as early as possible and reduce the time
gap between date promised and work performed so that customer must not get
irritated.
PROPER CO-ORDINATION: -
Staffs of HDFC are still not comfortable with the queries of customers about their
new service, as they sometimes feel dumb to some of the questions. They must get
proper updating from the head office related to any changes or problems faced by
the staffs.
PROPER ORGANISATION OF WORK: -
HDFC Bank needs to be more organized in terms with area division among the
various internal sales teams. The potential market should be followed up in order
to get good sales number.
QUALITY SERVICE: -
HDFC Bank customers generally have following complains:
Number of days has passed yet my account opening process is under process
I have not receive my personalized cheque book as it has been more than a month
after applying for it
I have made a number of complaints but no one is hearing HDFC Bank has to
resolve them as early as possible because it affects the service quality very badly.

CHAPTER-9
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
73

LIMITATIONS
i. AREA LIMITATION: The study was limited to Pune city only. Hence
findings may differ from other parts of India where I have not visited
ii. NON-RESPONSE ERROR: It is almost impossible to obtain data from each
& every respondent covered in sample. There are always some respondents who
refuse to give information
iii. LIMITED SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION: Sources of data for
collection of secondary data were limited
iv. TIME CONSTRAINT: There was time constraint to this project. The project
has to be completed within 2 months.
v. BUSY RESPONDENT: Many times respondents were so busy that they didn’t
t give reply. There were biased replies also.
vi. OTHER REASONS: There were heavy rains during the period of survey. So
there was many times problem in conducting survey & transportation.
