1.2 OBJECTIVE:

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


This research work based on collected primary and secondary data sources analysis. The
analysis has done to identify the following objectives:

Impact of consumer loan system


Problems with consumer loan system
Enhancement of the consumer loan system

Impact of consumer loan system:


Consumer loan or credit is a bank product or service. This bank product or service can
create an impact on the society and economical status of any country. Consumer loan is
comparatively new service of the banks and most the people in Bangladesh are not well
known about this facility.
In this research work the consumer loan system is viewed and analyzed from three
different perspectives. We have considered the consumer loan from Consumers point
of view, from Banks point of view and widely from National point of view.
Consumers:
Consumers want to purchase goods and services costing beyond their ability. Limited and
fixed income group people usually want and take this consumer credit facility. As the loan
lending peoples are limited and fixed income group, they like to take loan where the loan
processing system is easy, less security and most importantly the installment size is low.
This group is rarely concern with the interest rates are charging and the interest charging
methods. For this reason, most of the banks are charging higher interest for consumer
credit. Moreover, the interest rates are charged monthly rather than quarterly or annually.

Banks:
Consumer credit is one the service-product of commercial banks. Corporate loan facility
needs lots of collaterals either tangibles or intangibles. But consumer loans are bounded
KES SHROFF COLLEGE

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


with security. These loans are disbursed based on customers present income statement
that he or she can pay back the loan in time. As a result, there is more risk to get back the
disbursed loan. However, it is found that there is less bad loan in consumer credit
comparing other credit facilities. But, the process of consumer loan requires huge human
resources for survey, analyze and recovery of the loan. As a result, most of the local banks
are not too much interested in retain banking due to complications of the disbursement
procedures.

As the loan amount is small, the banks are charging the highest interest rates in consumer
loan. Therefore, banks are getting higher profit from the consumer credit scheme.
Banks can help the people who are not able to purchase goods with their limited income
but can pay back loan with their fixed earrings.
National:
Bangladesh is a developing country. The national GDP is very low comparing to other
developed and neighbor countries. Peoples are not able to purchase consumer products as
well as other expensive products with their limited income. Banks and other financial
institute can help the peoples to change their life and living standards through consumer
loan system.
Problems with consumer loan system:
Mainly banks are facing trouble with the disbursement procedure of the consumer loan
system. We will search the problems through this research paper.

Enhancement of the consumer loan system:


If there is any problem in consumer loan system in Bangladesh, our object will be to
provide potential solution for the obstacles and problems with this credit operations
system.

1.3 METHODOLOGY:
1.3.1 PRIMARY DATA:
Primary data is collect from survey. The survey is purely based on customer point of view.
KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 6

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


Survey is taken from 20 bank customer randomly from malad to andheri. I have mad 12
questions based on corporate governance in bank with multiple choice options. And the
customer has mark the answer as per there point of view. After taking analysis from customer
I have convert the number of respondent into percentage form to make table and graph.
Because it will be easy to understand. At the end I have given conclusion about the question
according to the customer response.

1.3.2 SECONDARY DATA:


Secondary data is collect from book.it is totally based on consumer durable services book
and from internet.

1.4 LIMITATION:
Questionnaires, like many evaluation methods occur after the event, so participants may
forget important issues. Questionnaires are standardised so it is not possible to explain any
points in the questions that participants might misinterpret. This could be partially solved by
piloting the questions on a small group of students or at least friends and colleagues. It is
advisable to do this anyway. Open-ended questions can generate large amounts of data that
can take a long time to process and analyse. One way of limiting this would be to limit the
space available to students so their responses are concise or to sample the students and
survey only a portion of them. Respondents may answer superficially especially if the
KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 7

questionnaire takes a long time to complete. The common mistake of asking too many
questions should be avoided. Students may not be willing to answer the questions. They
might not wish to reveal the information or they might think that they will not benefit from
responding perhaps even be penalised by giving their real opinion. Students should be told
why the information is being collected and how the results will be beneficial. They should be
asked to reply honestly and told that if their response is negative this is just as useful as a
more positive opinion. If possible the questionnaire should be anonymous.

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Everyone has dreams; dreams of a lovely home, beautiful car and a shining future. People
like to watch movies, listen music, travel on vacation and want education with a secured life.
This is only possible when someone have excess money to buy those products. Most of the
people do not excess money which they can save for extra. Not only in Bangladesh or in
developing countries but also in the highly developed countries people do not have excess
money to purchase their necessary products. Only the affluent peoples are able to buy those
products with their earnings. Now it is not difficult to purchase the Dreams. Banks are
providing different types of loan facilities to purchase the necessary products anytime. The
magical offer from the banks to buy dreams is known as Consumer Loan.
With the help of consumer loan people can live the life of the future. What they are planning
to purchase in future, can bring at home today. As a result, life becomes so easy that was not

CHAPTER 3ENHANCEMENT OF CONSUMER LOAN SYSTEM


CHANGING THE TARGET GROUP
ESTABLISHING SECONDARY CONSUMER MARKET
OPTION OF EXCHANGE
INCREASE OF HUMAN RESOURCES
TYPES OF LOAN AVAILABLE

Consumer loan scheme need restructuring to help the best services to the consumers. We are
recommending few proposals for the enhancement of the consumer loan system.

CHANGING THE TARGET GROUP:

From the Bangladesh Bank consumer loan guideline and the other commercial banks
consumer financing rules, we have observed that the target group they have set is as follows:

Criteria

Requirements

Age

: 23 to 60 (Most of banks requirement is 25 years old)

Monthly income

: 15,000 +

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 11

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


Working Experience

: Minimum 2 years

But the average income level of Bangladesh is much lower than 15,000. Therefore, with this
targeted income group only small portion of people will be benefited. To serve nation wide
peoples, banks must have to change their view of lending loan and to restructure the target
group as most of the earning people can get benefit of this consumer loan scheme.

ESTABLISHING SECONDARY CONSUMER MARKET:

Banks are now providing loan to purchase new products whether it is a car or any electrical
equipment. Banks are lending loan for recondition cars but those cars are considering also as
new. The reason is that selling brand cars are started in Bangladesh for very short time. The
main car business is based on reconditioned imported cars in Bangladesh. Banks do not
provide loan for the secondhand or reconditioned electrical equipments or used reconditioned
cars. The reason behind the behavior is the Bangladesh Banks regulations where it is
mentioned that cars loans are given to those cars which are not expired five years from its
manufacturing. In that sense when the recondition cars are imported to Bangladesh is more or
less 2 years used. Those cars remain more three years to expire from its manufacturing date,
therefore loan are given for the reconditioned cars.

Banks can take initiatives to establish a secondary consumer market where people can
purchase used reconditioned cars. Recently, there is used reconditioned cars market is started
named Garir Haat meaning Cars Fair where old cars are sold. But more structured
market is needed.

Banks are now working with many companies. If any one want to purchase any product from
any companies showroom, then banks will give loan to the customers but not in the cash
format rather in credit format meaning banks pay the bills to the companies in favor of the

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

customer. As a result, customer getting the products, companies can sale their items and
banks can lend money at high interest rate with less risk.

OPTION OF EXCHANGE:

Banks can extend their facilities with exchange option with consumer goods and car
companies. In that Exchange Option customers can exchange their old or used products
(Cars, electrical & mechanical equipments, apartments etc.) with the specific company. The
company may be either from where the product was purchased or any other similar type of
company of the similar products. As a result, a consumer who has an existing product but
wants to change or purchase a newer one can take this advantage of Option of Exchange
facilities.

INCREASE OF HUMAN RESOURCES:


Banks should have to increase their human resources to survey their clients and the
information. In the retail banking, the human resources are not sufficient. It is not a pressure
for the banks to recruit excess people in the retail baking. Lets look at a statistical report on
banks profit.1 The news in the newspaper is attached in the exhibit section.

HOME PURCHASE LOANS

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE

Owning a home is perhaps the biggest and most important dream of an average family
therefore ownership of a home goes beyond pure financial considerations. Home loans
purchase has witnessed an increase owing to competition between a number of public and
private players. The cut in the loan interest rate has also fuelled the demand for this product.
Kind of Home Purchase Loans Interest Rates:

Fluctuating Home Purchase Loans Interest rates: Keep changing with change in the
prevailing market rate or the prime lending rate.

Fixed Loans Interest Rate: As the name suggests, do not change during the entire loan
period, irrespective of the prevailing market rate. generally fixed loan interest rates
are higher than the fluctuating loan rate.

The current scenario in India is that of declining interest rate, so a fluctuating interest rate
makes more sense. The loan is repayable in the form of equated monthly installments (EMI).
The EMI should not exceed 50 per cent of your monthly household income.

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 25

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE

Bangladesh bank as well as other commercial banks has set the target group for the consumer
loan. Therefore, only that group always advertised, clicked and recalled for the consumer
loan. Other income groups are ignored. In many cases, some part of the target group are
saturated with the facilities the banks are provided, nevertheless, they are targeted for the
consumer loan as they have the ability to repay the loan back.
Many customers have complained about lack of information in the advertisement and some
found them evasive. While banks do provide much of the requested information to customers
who visit a branch personally, the vague nature of the current advertisement leads to a
problem of distrust and many consumers lose interest in the service2.

A SPECIAL CASE WITH BANK ASIA LIMITED:


Bank Asia Limited has almost stopped disbursing the consumer loan. Now this bank
disburses this consumer loan to only to its own company stuffs and the stuffs of it corporate
clients. For example: the ABC company is one of the Bank Asia Ltd.s big client and have
long term relationship with this bank, at that point, Bank will lend loan to the companies
personnel to keep the business relation. Here, banks also get security of that persons from the
company. Bank Asia Limited had faced large bad loan and also serious problem in collecting
the installments. More interestingly, most of the cases, the affluent peoples are missed their
installments and behave roughly to pay back the loan. As a result, the bank has stopped
consumer credit. However, due to Bangladesh Banks pressure, most of the banks have to
continue the Consumer Credit Scheme and the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME)
loans.
Since 1995, most of the commercial banks are providing consumer loan. Peoples are accepted
this loan scheme very much but still it is not convenient to the citizens of Bangladesh. Due to
many problems it is still enfant in credit operation system. We try to find out the outcomes
and obstacles of consumer loan system.

KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 26

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE

Interviewing various banks executives, we have found out several problems with consumer
loan from banks perspective:

INSUFFICIENT HUMAN RESOURCES:


Banks need to make a primary survey on the borrowers to ensure that all the information
provided by the borrower is correct. In many cases, it has been found that borrows put
insufficient or incorrect information in the loan application form. Initially, banks had used a
Third Party to survey those information. The third parties were paid for surveying per
customer. But letter, banks had been found that these Third Parties are providing incorrect
information without surveying the customers physically. As result, banks had faced many
classified loans in consumer credit section due to wrong information.

After that, Banks have started to survey their clients. Banks are charged 1% processing fee.
By self-surveying, banks are reduced the amount of the classified loan in this sector.
However, classified loan has been reduced but it is difficult for the banks to survey all the
clients. There are limited customers for corporate loan and the loan amount is very high. As a
result, the relations between banks ands the clients become very strong for long-term
transaction and other securities. But in consumer loan most of the case there are not any
securities. Moreover, the number of customers is high and the amount of the loan is small. As
a result, the relations between banks-clients are not high and it is difficult for the banks to
survey all the customers and theyre given information. The main reason behind the
difficulties is that there are not enough officers to survey. For this reason, many bank demotivated to promote this consumer credit scheme. Many banks have indirectly stopped this
service.

NO Security:
Most of the cases consumer loan is disbursed without any security. Therefore, the risk of
classified loan is higher in consumer loan scheme. For this reason, many banks are not
interested to disburse loan in this category.

CHAPTER 6 SUGGESTION AND RECOMMENDATION

Consumer loan is one of the most effective credit schemes for the limited income consumers
to make easy their life. People can purchase all of their necessary goods for the consumer
loan system. The consumer loan system is not only helping the consumers but also enabling a
healthy economical status for the nation. But the facilities of consumer loan cannot be

Page 50

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


accessed or enjoyed by all the people of this country. As we have mentioned, due to several
complication, mainly collateral for the loan, specific target group which is very small and
India Banks several rules and regulations, the consumer loan is not the product for all. The
poor or the low income people cannot take the advantages of the consumer loan. Banks are
providing the consumer loan facilities only to a small group of people at a high interest rate.
As a result, 100 percent people cannot take the benefit of this wonderful scheme. In a
democratic country it is everyones right to get all the facilities which is provided by the
nation to all the common citizens. But peoples are not getting the advantages of a common
loan facilities to improve their life and living style. The consumer loan can enhance ones
dreams, life, and the social status.
We are recommending the following actions for consumer loan scheme which can help
consumers and the socio-economical status
Reduction in Interest Rate: Banks should reduce their interest rates. As the banks are earning
huge profit, therefore it will not difficult for them to decrease the interest rate percentage for
the consumer loan. With the reduction in the interest rate, consumers will be benefited, as
they (the consumers) are low and limited income people. In contrast, banks will also be
benefited that they (the banks) will get more customers to this consumer loan scheme.
a. Restructuring Guideline and Regulations: Bank is highly strict with the loan
disbursement. Lots of provisions are imposed for every types of loan. But
imposing provision cannot reduce the classified loan. Therefore, Bank must have
to restructure their guidelines and regulations for the consumer loan scheme.

b. Increasing Human Resources in the Retail Banking: In the retailing banking there
are not enough personnel to serve all the customers. Moreover, the initial
information provided by the clients for loan sanction is required to survey which
demands large number of surveyors. It has been observed that making tight rules,
KES SHROFF COLLEGE

Page 51

LOAN AVAILABILITY FOR CONSUMER DURABLE


high restriction and imposing fixed guidelines do not work to prevent bad loans
rather continuous monitoring of the disbursed loans status can reduce the amount
of classified loan in the consumer loan as well as other credit schemes.
It is required more research on consumer loan in a vast way that how it can help the every
income level of people. Consumer loan is not only a product but also a magical stick which
can change the socio-economical status of a person, a family and a country.
