One can find out that customers are really satisfied with the HDFC Banks Account opening service or not. Through this survey we can find out, How many customers are satisfied or how many not. After getting result we can analyze where HDFC Banking services are lacking. 1.3 IMPORTANCE TO THE COMPANY: The purpose of selecting this topic was to know about the customers perceptions about the different Accounts opening products of the bank, how these products can attract them and how the company can generate maximum profit by convincing them through CSE. This project can help the company to improve their performance by satisfying their customers and by them they can retain more customers. Ultimately company will increase their business.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Internship is an integral part of PGPM (POST GRADUATE PROGRAME IN MANAGEMENT) and it helps the student to understand the practical aspect of work in an organization. I have choose HDFC Bank for project work. The project related with the CASA Customers and to find out these customers are satisfied with the HDFC Banks Product and Services or not. In these project I have done work of Customer Support Executive to Sale CASA in the HDFC Bank which was at J.P. Nagar. I had been trained on those product which I was supposed to Sale to people. I was doing door to door and ATM activity for meeting the customers. My project related with the those people who are already customer of HDFC Bank and to find out how many of them satisfied or how many of them unsatisfied. An effective customer satisfaction program is a powerful tool designed to improve both an organizations performance in the eyes of its customers as well as the financial bottom line by identifying opportunities to improve customer satisfaction. Most organizations monitor reactive feedback; however, taking express action to collect information from your customers can boost your organizations potential - remember, only one in nine customers takes the time to inform the organization of their experience.

Gathering customer feedback Approaching the issue of customer satisfaction Conducting interviews The benefits of utilizing a third-party

As for the methodology, there are several types from which to choose. For customer satisfaction surveys, choice of method depends on a few issues, including:

customer characteristics; time availability; the costs the enterprise is willing to incur; and the information that the company wishes to maintain.

When designing customer satisfaction survey questions, survey developers should use a "drill-down" technique, so the questions flow back up to the objectives. This can be done by "mapping" objectives to questions, or vice versa, to determine that every question adds value, and that every objective is covered. If the questions do not refer back to the objectives, then the survey will be valueless. Survey developers should try to incorporate a short list of several types of questions, including closed-ended and open-ended, multiple and single choice, ranking, and rating. The following is an example of a rating q Please rate HDFC Bank customer service overall. Poor Fair Average Good Excellent

The analysis stage may simply be a case of generating tables of results or it can involve more sophisticated analytical techniques. The planned analysis should be kept in mind whilst developing the questionnaire, to ensure that the information necessary to undertake the analysis will be obtained. If you have data that has already been collected, we can usually devise an analysis plan to extract useful information from your data, even if it isnt exactly what was anticipated when the data was originally collected. Interpreting the results from the analysis usually requires a formal assessment of the accuracy and significance of key results to ensure decisions are not made based on random variation. recommendations based on sound statistical principles and the statistical theory and practice in determining the sampling error for a survey.

INDUSTRY PROFILE 1.1 Industry sector and classification

Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, which started in 1790; both are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India.

Types of Banks
There are various types of banks which operate in our country to meet the financial requirements of different categories of people engaged in agriculture, business, profession, etc. On the basis of functions, the banking institutions in India may be divided into the following types:

Now let us learn about each of these banks in detail. a) Central Bank A bank which is entrusted with the functions of guiding and regulating the banking system of a country is known as its Central bank. Such a bank does not deal with the general public. It acts essentially as Governments banker, maintain deposit accounts of all other banks and advances money to other banks, when needed. The Central Bank provides guidance to other banks whenever they face any problem. It is therefore known as the bankers bank. The Reserve Bank of India is the central bank of our country. The Central Bank maintains record of Government revenue and expenditure under various heads. It also advises the Government on monetary and credit policies and decides on the interest rates for bank deposits and bank loans. In addition, foreign exchange rates are also determined by the central bank. Another important function of the Central Bank is the issuance of currency notes, regulating their circulation in the country by different methods. No other bank than the Central Bank can issue currency. b) Commercial Banks Commercial Banks are banking institutions that accept deposits and grant short-term loans and advances to their customers. In addition to giving short-term loans, commercial banks also give medium-term and long-term loan to business enterprises. Now-a-days some of the commercial banks are also providing housing loan on a long-term basis to individuals. There are also many other functions of commercial banks, which are discussed later in this lesson.

Types of Commercial banks: Commercial banks are of three types i.e., Public sector banks, Private sector banks and Foreign banks. (i) Public Sector Banks: These are banks where majority stake is held by the Government of India or Reserve Bank of India. Examples of public sector banks are: State Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Bank of Boroda and Dena Bank, etc. (ii) Private Sectors Banks: In case of private sector banks majority of share capital of the bank is held by private individuals. These banks are registered as companies with limited liability. For example: The Jammu and Kashmir Bank Ltd., Bank of Rajasthan Ltd., Development Credit Bank Ltd, Lord Krishna Bank Ltd., Bharat Overseas Bank Ltd., Global Trust Bank, Vysya Bank, etc. (iii) Foreign Banks: These banks are registered and have their headquarters in a foreign country but operate their branches in our country. Some of the foreign banks operating in our country are Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Citibank, American Express Bank, Standard & Chartered Bank, Grindlays Bank, etc. The number of foreign banks operating in our country has increased since the financial sector reforms of 1991.

c) Development Banks
Business often requires medium and long-term capital for purchase of machinery and equipment, for using latest technology, or for expansion and modernization. Such financial assistance is provided by Development Banks. They also undertake other development measures like subscribing to the shares and debentures issued by companies, in case of under subscription of the issue by the public. Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) and State Financial Corporations (SFCs) are examples of development banks in India.

d) Co-operative Banks
People who come together to jointly serve their common interest often form a co-operative Society under the Co-operative Societies Act. When a co-operative society engages itself in Banking business it is called a Co-operative Bank. The society has to obtain a license from the Reserve Bank of India before starting banking business. Any co-operative bank as a society is to function under the overall supervision of the Registrar, Co-operative Societies of the State. As regards banking business, the society must follow the guidelines set and issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

Types of Co-operative Banks

There are three types of co-operative banks operating in our country. They are primary credit societies, central co-operative banks and state co-operative banks. These banks are organized at three levels, village or town level, district level and state level. (i) Primary Credit Societies: These are formed at the village or town level with borrower and non-borrower members residing in one locality. The operations of each society are restricted to a small area so that the members know each other and are able to watch over the activities of all members to prevent frauds. (ii) Central Co-operative Banks: These banks operate at the district level having some of the primary credit societies belonging to the same district as their members. These banks provide loans to their members (i.e., primary credit societies) and function as a link between the primary credit societies and state co-operative banks. (iii) State Co-operative Banks: These are the apex (highest level) co-operative banks in all The states of the country. They mobilise funds and help in its proper channelisation among Various sectors. The money reaches the individual borrowers from the state co-operative Banks through the central co-operative banks and the primary credit societies.

e) Specialised Banks
There are some banks, which cater to the requirements and provide overall support for setting up business in specific areas of activity. EXIM Bank, SIDBI and NABARD are examples of such banks. They engage themselves in some specific area or activity and thus, are called

specialised banks. Let us know about them.

i. Export Import Bank of India (EXIM Bank): If you want to set up a business for exporting products abroad or importing products from foreign countries for sale in our country, EXIM bank can provide you the required support and assistance. The bank grants loans to exporters and importers and also provides information about the international market. It gives guidance about the opportunities for export or import, the risks involved in it and the competition to be faced, etc.

ii. Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI): If you want to establish a small-scale business unit or industry, loan on easy terms can be available through SIDBI. It also finances modernisation of small-scale industrial units, use of new technology and market activities. The aim and focus of SIDBI is to promote, finance and develop small-scale industries. iii. National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD): It is a central or apex institution for financing agricultural and rural sectors. If a person is engaged in agriculture or other activities like handloom weaving, fishing, etc. NABARD can provide credit, both short-term and long-term, through regional rural banks. It provides financial assistance, especially, to co-operative credit, in the field of agriculture, small-scale industries, cottage and village industries handicrafts and allied economic activities in rural areas.

1.2 Size of the industry

The Indian banking market is growing at an astonishing rate, with assets expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2012. An expanding economy, middle class, and technological innovations are all contributing to this growth. Examines the impressive growth of this industry, largely due to an expanding economy and growing consumer middle class in need of financial services. India's economy is growing at a rate of 8%, with banking assets increasing at a CAGR of 24% from 2001 to 2006, from US$374.4 billion in 2003 to US$616.15 billion in 2006. While public sector banks still dominate Indias banking industry, the private sector is growing, with global players now actively competing with domestic banks. The countrys middle class accounts for over 320 million people. In correlation with the growth of the economy, rising income levels, increased standard of living, and affordability of banking products are promising factors for continued expansion.

The Indian banking Industry is in the middle of an IT revolution, focusing on the expansion of retail and rural banking. Players are becoming increasingly customer-centric in their approach, which has resulted in innovative methods of offering new banking products and services. Banks are now realizing the importance of being a big player and are beginning to focus their attention on mergers and acquisitions to take advantage of economies of scale. Indian banking industry assets are expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2012 and are poised to receive a greater infusion of foreign capital. The banking industry should focus on having a small number of large players that can compete globally rather than having a large number of fragmented players."

1.3 Past and future growth of the industry

The changes staring in the face of bankers relates to the fundamental way of banking-which is going through rapid transformation in the world of today. Adjust, adapt and change should be the key mantra. The major challenge faced by banks today is the ever rising customer expectation as well as risk management and maintaining growth rate. Following are the results of the biggest challenge faced by the banking industry as declared by financial institutions (on a mode scale of 1 to 7 with 1 being the biggest challenge).

A majority of the financial analysis, almost 69% of them, felt that the Indian banking Industry was in a very good to excellent shape, with a further 25% feeling it was in good shape and only 6% of the financial analysis feeling that the performance of the industry was just average. In fact, an overwhelming majority (93.33%) of the respondents felt that the banking industry compared with the best of the sectors of the economy, including pharmaceuticals, infrastructure, Most of the respondents were positive with regard to the growth rate (Fig. 1) attainable by the Indian banking industry for the year 2009-10 and 2014-15, with 53.33% of the view that growth would be between 15-20% for the year 2009-10 and greater than 20% for 201415.

A progressively growing balance sheet, higher pace of credit expansion, expanding profitability and productivity akin to banks in developed markets, lower incidence of nonperforming assets and focus on financial inclusion have contributed to making Indian banking vibrant and strong. Indian banks have begun to revise their growth approach and re-evaluate the prospects on hand to keep the economy rolling. The way forward for the Indian banks is to innovate to take advantage of the new business opportunities and at the same time ensure continuous assessment of risks.

1.4 Analysis of the industry based on Porters 5 forces model The nature of competition in the industry in large part determines the content of strategy, especially business level strategy .based it is on the fundamental economics of the industry, the very profit potential of an industry is determine by competition interaction. Where these interactions are intense, profit tends to be whittled away by the activities of competing.

Private sector bank HDFC Bank aims to ride the growth opportunities thrown up by the increasing affluence of rural India to grow at a faster pace than the industry average over the next few years. The bank will also focus on organic growth, having completed the acquisition of Centurion Bank of Punjab (CBoP) a couple of years ago, which has given it a strong pan-India footprint. There is a tremendous opportunity in rural India with the countrys GDP poised to grow at 8 per cent-plus over the next few years, HDFC Bank is well-positioned to tap this opportunity for rapid growth. India is growing rapidly there are agricultural reforms taking place, supply-chains are being developed and improved, per capita income is increasing and ancillary units are growing around manufacturing. All this makes HDFC Bank optimistic about the financial sector growth going forward. The bank constantly innovates and comes up with new offerings, he said, citing the example of its loans against gold jewellery facility. Now HDFC Bank give loans against gold jewellery, which helps us tap business from small shop keepers, small businesses and others in rural areas. This business is a good one in the interiors of the country. HDFC Banks strategy presently is to grow organically and they have the ability to achieve our future growth targets organically. Besides, it has laid a great deal of emphasis on asset quality it has never been in distress and our NPA levels are very low. On fund raising, HDFC Bank is not on the immediate horizon. They have a capital adequacy ratio of over 16 per cent there is no need for us to raise funds immediately.

Background of the research project

The research project is on HDFC Account opening customers. How many customers of the HDFC Bank are really satisfied? Banking operations are becoming increasingly customer dictated. The demand for 'banking supermalls' offering one-stop integrated financial services is well on the rise. The ability of banks to offer clients access to several markets for different classes of financial instruments has become a valuable competitive edge. Convergence in the industry to cater to the changing demographic expectations is now more than evident. Bancassurance and other forms of cross selling and strategic alliances will soon alter the business dynamics of banks and fuel the process of consolidation for increased scope of business and revenue. The thrust on farm sector, health sector and services offers several investment linkages. In short, the domestic economy is an increasing pie which offers extensive economies of scale that only large banks will be in a position to tap.With the phenomenal increase in the country's population and the increased demand for banking services; speed, service quality and customer satisfaction are going to be key differentiators for each bank's future success.

1.1 Genesis of the project I have chosen this project to find out the reason because of which HDFC Bank customers are shifting from this bank. I have worked with HDFC Bank as a Customer Support Executive for selling CASA product, where I was meeting existing HDFC customers most of the time and they were giving me feedback about HDFC Banks bad services. That made me to think me to work on it. How organization can retain existing coustomer for longer duration. The working of the customer's mind is a mystery which is difficult to solve and understanding the nuances of what customer satisfaction is, a challenging task. This exercise in the context of the banking industry will give us an insight into the parameters of customer satisfaction and their measurement. This vital information will help us to build satisfaction amongst the HDFC customers and customer loyalty in the long run which is an integral part of any business. The customer's requirements must be translated and quantified into measurable targets. This provides an easy way to monitor improvements, and deciding upon the attributes that need to be concentrated on in order to improve customer satisfaction. We can recognize where we need to make changes to create improvements and determine if these changes, after implemented, have led to increased customer satisfaction.

1.2 Objective(s) of the Study and/or Hypotheses 1.1 The problem statements This Satisfaction survey among HDFC customers was to find out why customers of HDFC Bank are not satisfied. What are their needs ? what kind of problem Customers are facing? The company must gain confidence of the customers and provide services par excellence. Therefore, undertaking the project helps in assessing the customer care level of HDFC BANK. The study is applied descriptive as well as diagnostic in nature.

1.4 Significance of the Study

Customer Loyalty: Understand the magic what they like about you and what they dislike. Knowing what keeps them coming back over and over again is the secret to your success. Loyalty is the magic when they start talking about you and referring you to others. Customer satisfaction: Satisfied customers are those who do not have outstanding negative issues concerning you on their mind. This doesnt mean everything has always been perfect. Sometimes things may not have gone all right. In all such situations you gave your customers a chance to talk to you. Sympathetic listening to customers is essential. Online surveys provide a way where customers get a chance to get their side of the story out without being interrupted. A second essential is follow-through. Proper tools of analysis will help you segment your customers into different categories based on what you need to do in return.

Effective Communication: By inviting customers to talk to you and through careful design of your survey you can effectively inform your customers about things they may not know or remind them of important changes or innovations in your organization. This is clever because customers will read your survey more carefully than most other communication you send them. Spotting Trends: Beyond understanding the drivers behind loyalty and satisfaction of your customers, you can benefit from the wisdom of the masses by asking them for their ideas and spotting patterns in their feedback. Spotting such trends ahead of competition could offer you a significant advantage.

Research methodology

The marketing research is a process of involves a no. of inter-related activities, which overlap and do rigidly follow a particular sequence.

1.1 Research Design Primary data are datas, which are original in nature, and are collected by the researcher. The method used to collect the primary data was Survey Method. The survey method included a structured questionnaire that was given to the respondent. Primary data: Primary data are datas, which are original in nature, and are collected by the researcher. The method used to collect the primary data was Survey Method. The survey method included a structured questionnaire that was given to the respondent. In the primary data I have made the questionnaire for collecting information from HDFC Bank customers for knowing their satisfaction towards the services of HDFC Bank. In this questionnaire multiple questions have been made to know about their preferences towards HDFC Bank. This survey is been conducted among 200 existing HDFC customers at multiple places at Bangalore. This survey mainly for the account opening customers. In Current Account and Saving Account people expect more services. The research I have conducted in Bangalore where corporate customers expect more services.

1.2 Data Collection Procedures

The data collected from respondents through questionnaire are organized, coded, processed and tabulated in order to create graphs and charts to make the project understandable. Chi Square Test is performed on the inferred data to arrive at a statistical conclusion. Calculations have been done for interpretation such as percentages, averages. Collection of data have been done at various places in Bangalore. Questionnaire is been asked to different age group people. Data collection is done on different verities of account opening products.

1.3 Instrumentation
The instrument which is been used for this survey is questionnaire method. Where different questions have been asked to different age group people. Those age groups are 20 to 30 years, 30 to 40 years, and more than 40 years of respondent. Those age group is devided on the basis of gender. Because for financial decision individual personality is considered important.

Respondents is been asked what are their monthly household income, so that on the basis of their income we can find out the number of respondents preference towards financial decisions. These questions is been made to ask the services provided by the HDFC Bank is up to the mark or not. Present customers of HDFC Bank are getting attention when they entered inside the bank or they have been treated well. Few of them are open ended question and closed ended questions.

1.4 Sampling Design including justification of sample size

Sample Unit The satisfaction survey among HDFC Banks customers had been done around J.P Nagar area. For the sample designing the sample unit have been taken HDFC Banks Customer to find out satisfaction level of HDFC customers. Sample unit taken HDFC Customers for exact result, if sample unit selected as a common people then it will be difficult to get desired result. Respondents also not perform to the researchers. This sample unit is related with all those customers of different product customers but the survey is mainly for HDFC Bank customers. Sample size The sample size for the survey would be 200 HDFC Customers where from overall customers. This size will represent other customers for getting the result. This survey was conducted different areas of Bangalore places where more crowd was available. A sample is called simple random sample if each unit of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. Whenever a unit is selected for the sample, the units of the population are equally likely to be selected. It must be noted that the probability of selecting the first element is not to be compared with the probability of selecting the second unit. When the first unit is selected, all the units of the population have the equal chance of selection

1.5 Procedure / tools of Data Analysis

The tool used for data collection is Primarily Questionnaire method. The questions contained: Open- Ended Questions Where the respondent was given a chance to reply or give suggestions to the Company. This included Free Responses questions where the respondents were given the freedom to give suggestions. Close - Ended Questions Where the respondent was given a lesser chance to reply. This includes multiple Choice Questions where the respondents were given a number of alternatives.

Literature survey
Successful customer satisfaction surveys maximize the retention of current customers, and help enterprises to better position themselves among prospective clients. However, customer satisfaction surveys that do not uncover customer perceptions or needs, improve customer loyalty, or help the enterprise to make improvements are essentially useless. To develop successful customer satisfaction surveys, executives and staffs should learn how to plan, design, implement, and manage survey questions that lend themselves to effective trend analysis. This will help ensure that customers are completely satisfied with enterprise offerings and/or support, and identify areas of potential improvement. Instruments: Provide an overview and description of each instrument or measure. When describing your instruments, remember to review issues such as the number of questions, length of administration, readability and scoring. You can rely on the instrument's manual and early normative articles to obtain a lot of this information. After you describe the instrument, you will then need to review the reliability (e.g. alpha coefficients, inter-rater reliability, test retest reliability, split half reliability) and validity of the instrument (content validity, external validity and discriminate validity). Remember to clearly label and review all of these components in the text for all your instruments or measures.

Questionnaire: A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents. Although they are often designed for statistical analysis of the responses, this is not always the case. Questionnaires are also sharply limited by the fact that respondents must be able to read the questions and respond to them. Thus, for some demographic groups conducting a survey by questionnaire may not be practical.

Research: Research can be defined as the search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, with an open mind, to establish novel facts, usually using a scientific method. The primary purpose for basic research (as opposed to applied research) is discovering, interpreting, and the development of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge on a wide variety of scientific matters of our world and the universe. Research designs: Research designs are concerned with turning the research question into a testing project. The best design depends on your research questions. Every design has its positive and negative sides.

Conclusions and recommendations

CONCLUSION Hence, I conclude by understanding that marketing concepts is essentially about the few things which contribute to the banks success: The bank cannot exist without customer. The purpose of a bank is to create, win and keep a customer. The customer is and should be the central focus of everything the bankdoes. Ultimate aim of a bank is to deliver satisfaction to the customers. Customer satisfaction is affected by the performance of all the personnel of the bank. It is also a way of organizing the bank. The starting point for the organizational design should be the customer and the bank should ensure that the services are performed and delivered in the most effective way. Service facility should also be designed for customer convenience. RECOMMENDATIONS The environment of the bank can be made more customers friendly and the working of the bank should be more organized and efficient by training the employees of the bank. Improving customer care facilities by providing 24 hours banking facilities more effective. More number of CURRENT ACCOUNTS With different features are looked forward from public Proper and general insturuction about the maintenance and working of current account and its benefits should be made clearer. The banking hours should be more customers friendly it should close little later in the evening. The banking process needs to be more systematic so that the transaction time can be reduced. There should be more branches especially in smaller towns and cities . Special schemes should be provided for smaller retail shops as well new package of offers and discounts should be provided for high network peopleand senior citizens .
