Executive Summary
The financial services sector and capital markets have a significant influence on
how Economies develop, principally through their role in allocating financial
capital between different economic activities, as well as through their own
operations, not only do banks Manage their own financial and sustainability
performance, they are in a position to influence Socio-economic and
environmental performance in client organizations and through their Lending
strategies. In this report, we examine whether and how leading banks manage
the corporate economic impacts of their core lending activities.
The aim of this research is to explore whether banks account for the types of
economic Impacts arising from their lending activities. It asks who the real
beneficiaries of bank are lending activity and whether banks take this into
account in their core business decisions. Specifically, it questions how some
banks understand their economic impacts and whether and how this informed the
development and delivery of lending products and services. Accountability and
BSR have developed a methodology through which companies can begin to
articulate and account for the economic impacts of their business activities –
siting, employment, Procurement, product and service development and delivery,
contribution to taxes, investment And philanthropy.
This report focuses on the bank lending sector’s product Development and
delivery business function, and through this explores corporate understanding
And accountability of banks. As for all sectors, there is less data on product-
related impacts than other for other aspects of business activity, which is a critical
impact area for banks.
This study explores whether and how banks understand and manage the
economic impacts of their products – through product development, use and
delivery of loan products – on the communities that use them. This relates to
both production-side economic impacts and consumption side product-related
economic impacts. Production-side impacts might include the operations of bank
branches, and might include employment, sourcing from local suppliers and
environmental impacts. While the impact of these activities is important, the most
significant economic impacts are likely to accrue to customers and the wider
economy. Consumption-side economic impacts relate directly to the access to
finance debate, as well as questions that have arisen over who banks lend to and
for what type of economic activity. Most attention on banks in this area has
focused on project finance for large and environmentally sensitive projects.
Access to finance refers to the lack of availability of finance to specific
communities. These issues have largely defined the corporate responsibility of
banks in the eyes of some major stakeholders.

This report explores how some banks understand and account for their economic
contribution to society. For some, economic impact management is already an
important internal management tool and stakeholder engagement platform. For
others, the value of managing economic impact is clear, but the challenge is
finding ways to do it. Ideally, corporate management of economic impact allows
company to better inform and engage stakeholders on the broader debate on the
role of the sector in society.
The report examines what sustainability principles and standards mainstream

banks have adopted around the world, and the extent to which those standards
capture the most significant potential economic impacts of bank lending. The
report sets out some of the key framework issues and players driving banks to
consider sustainability issues

Project Objective
“Study to reduce the end-to-end Turn around Time in the two-

wheeler loan processing“
Problem Identification
• Customers
Time becomes the most important aspect looked over by the customer with the
changing life style, especially if we talk about service industry, its importance
increases by many folds and same applies to TW Loans also. As soon as
customer walks down at the dealer points he doesn’t wish to even waste a single
minute to get the vehicle financed and with the Multi National NBFC’s entering in
Indian Markets, importance of TAT increases even more.
• Dealer
They employ huge capital, mainly raised from Banks and interest cost is involved
so there have to be faster payments of loan amounts so that there money is
rotated in the best and cost-effective direction and he is able to fund his vehicles
and get the payouts received from banks according to the no. of vehicle sold.
• Banks
Service industry requires a lot of customer focus as customer is also involved in

the whole process and needs a special attention as well as fast and quality
services if they want to remain in the market. So the same applies to the banking
industry as the customer is very choosy in selecting a finance company and
which can give him fast and better services as well as good customer
interactions is preferred. So the improvement of TAT will ensure that the
customer gets fast approvals of loan and get his loans as simple as it can be
possible, so a compressed turn around time will lead to better retention of
customer and will increase the goodwill of the bank.

‘Evolution of the Indian two-wheeler industry
The two-wheeler industry (henceforth TWI) in India has been in existence since
1955. It consists of three segments viz., scooters, motorcycles, and mopeds. The
increase in sales Volume of this industry is proof of its high growth. In 1971, sales
were around 0.1 million units per annum. But by 1998, this figure had risen to 3
million units per annum. Similarly, capacities of production have also increased
from about 0.2 million units of annual capacity in the seventies to more than 4
million units in the late nineties4.
The TWI in India began operations within the framework of the national industrial
Policy as espoused by the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1956.This resolution
divided the entire industrial sector into three groups, of which one contained
industries whose development was the exclusive responsibility of the State,
another included those industries in which both the State and the private sector
could participate and the last set of industries that could be developed
exclusively under private initiative within the guidelines and objectives laid out by
the Five Year Plans (CMIE, 1990).Private investment was canalized and
regulated through the extensive use of licensing giving the State comprehensive
control over the direction and pattern of investment. Entry of firms, capacity
expansion, choice of product and capacity mix and technology, were all
effectively controlled by the State in a bid to prevent the concentration of
economic power.
However due to lapses in the system, fresh policies were brought in at the end of
the sixties. These consisted of MRTP of 1969 and FERA of 1973, which were
aimed at regulating monopoly and foreign investment respectively. Firms that
came under the purview of these Acts were allowed to invest only in a select set
of industries.
This net of controls on the economy in the seventies caused several firms to
a) Operate below the minimum scale of efficiency (henceforth MES),
b) Under-utilize capacity and
c) Use outdated technology.
While operation below MES resulted from the fact that several incentives were
given to smaller firms, the capacity under-utilization was the result of
i) the capacity mix being determined independent of the market demand,

ii) the policy of distributing imports based on capacity, causing firms to
expand beyond levels determined by demand so as to be eligible for
more imports. Use of outdated technology resulted from the restrictions
placed on import of technology through the provisions of FERA.
Recognition of the deleterious effects of these policies led to the initiation of

reforms in 1975 which took on a more pronounced shape and acquired wider
8
scope under the New Economic Policy (NEP) in 1985. As part of these reforms,
several groups of industries were deli censed and ‘broadbanding’5 was permitted
in select industries. Controls over capacity expansion were relaxed through the
specification of the MES6 of production for several industries. Foreign investment
was allowed in select industries and norms under the MRTP Act were relaxed.
These reforms led to a rise in the trend rate of growth of real GDP from 3.7% in
the seventies to 5.4% in the eighties. However the major set of reforms came in
1991 in response to a series of macroeconomic crises that hit the Indian
economy in 1990-917. Several industries were deregulated, the Indian rupee was
devalued and made convertible on the current account and tariffs replaced
quantitative restrictions in the area of trade. The initiation of reforms led to a drop
in the growth of real GDP between 1990 – 1992, but this averaged at about 5.5%
per annum after 1992. The decline in GDP in the years after reforms was the
outcome of devaluation and the contractionary fiscal and monetary policies taken
in 1991 to address the foreign exchange crisis. Thus the Industrial Policy in India
moved from a position of regulation and tight control in the sixties and seventies,
to a more liberalized one in the eighties and nineties. The two-wheeler industry in
India has to a great extent been shaped by the evolution of the industrial policy of
the country.
Regulatory policies like FERA and MRTP caused the growth of some segments
in the industry like motorcycles to stagnate. These were later able to grow (both
in terms of overall sales volumes and number of players) once foreign
investments were allowed in 1981. The reforms in the eighties like ‘broad
banding’ caused the entry of several new firms and products which caused the
existing technologically outdated products to lose sales volume and/or exit the
market. Finally, with liberalization in the nineties, the industry witnessed a
proliferation in brands.
A description of the evolution of the two wheeler industry in India is usefully split
up into four ten year periods. This division traces significant changes in economic
policy making. The first time-period, 1960-1969, was one during which the growth
of the two-wheeler industry was fostered through means like permitting foreign
collaborations and phasing out of non-manufacturing firms in the industry. The
period 1970-1980 saw state controls, through the use of the licensing system and
certain regulatory acts over the economy, at their peak. During 1981-1990
significant reforms were initiated in the country. The final time-period covers the
period 1991-1999 during which the reform process was deepened these reforms
encompassed several areas like finance, trade, tax, industrial policy etc. We now
discuss in somewhat greater detail the principal characteristics of each sub
period.

Two wheeler industry
‘Riding on Top Gear’ is what the two-wheeler industry is celebrating in the first
half of FY05, wherein the industry volumes had grown over 12% on back of good
monsoons. Also, the second half of FY05 has given the industry reasons to
celebrate, with strong volume rise of nearly 16% (Apr-Feb) in motorcycles,
largely aided by faster growth in the entry level 100 cc segments. Though
competition has been on the rise in the past year, with new models and variants
being launched every alternate day, the overall market has been growing fast
enough to accommodate all of these models.
The most striking feature of the year gone by was the growing volumes in favor
of the entry-level segment. Industry leaders Hero Honda and Bajaj Auto have
once again kept the other players at bay, and increased their market share during
the year. In fact, Bajaj Auto has been outperforming the industry by a good
margin for the last few months, courtesy its new launches CT100 and the
Discover. TVS Motor on the other hand has been reeling under pressure since
the time its Max 100 sales started dipping at the end of FY04 while the new
models are yet to taste success in the market. Apart from the big three, the talk of
the town in the past year was the entry of Honda Motors into the Indian
motorcycle segment through its ‘Unicorn’. Launched in the premium 150 cc
category, the bike received spectacular response initially with a waiting period of
almost 6 weeks.
Despite the strong volume growth witnessed by the industry, profits have grown
at a slower rate or even de-grown in some cases due to the cost pressures and
higher sales of economy bikes. Due to growing competition, manufacturers
resisted passing on price hikes and instead took a hit on their profits. However,
recently the companies have raised prices on most of their models by around 1-
3%.
HERO HONDA
Hero Honda, the leader has created another landmark by crossing 2.5 million
bikes for the year and in the process improving its market share in motorcycles to
50% from 48% in last year. For FY05, Hero Honda’s sales stood at 2.6 million, a
rise of over 27% over the last year’s 2.1 million. Domestic sales were up 26%,
while export sales, which form a miniscule part of the overall sales, were up 63%.
Sales continued to be heavily stacked in favor of the “Splendor Plus” and
“Passion Plus” models, accounting for over 70% of total volumes.
Vehicle Sales Q4FY05 Q4FY04 % Chg FY05 FY04 % Chg
Total Motorcycles 685419 592718 15.6% 2626070 2070154 26.9%
256200 203089
Domestic 664845 578477 14.9% 3 9 26.2%
10
Exports 20574 11492 79.0% 64067 39255 63.2%
For the second half of FY05, the company’s sales hovered around 2.3 lakh a
month with no spare capacity to cater to the additional demand.
Towards the end of the fiscal, Hero Honda unveiled its new offering ‘Super
Splendor” in the growing 125 cc class, and costing around Rs 2000-3000 more
than the Splendor plus model. The model has nothing new to offer as far as
external features are concerned; however considering the strong growth
opportunities of 125 cc segments and Hero Honda’s strong brand equity, the
model is expected to clock decent numbers. Going forward, for the year FY06,
Hero Honda is expected to continue performing well and improve sales through
de-bottlenecking of its plants, which will increase the capacity by over two-lakh
units. The new Super splendor is hopeful of clocking sales of nearly 30,000 units,
largely cannibalizing the sales of previous splendor and passion models, due to
its powerful engine and good fuel economy. The company is hopeful of ending
the year with a modest growth of 12-15%.
BAJAJ AUTO
Strong growth in the motorcycle segment saved the day for Bajaj Auto, while the
other segments de-grew during the year. The company sold a total of 1.8 million
vehicles (incl. 3-wheelers), higher by 20% as compared to last year. Motorcycles
sales grew 42% to 1.45 million, outperforming the industry hands down and in
the process increasing its market share to 28.8% as against last year’s 24.5%.
FY05 FY04 % Chg FY05 FY04 % Chg
Scooters(G) 20418 49523 -58.8% 102762 178070 -42.3%
Scooters (UG) 4818 12039 -60.0% 30931 54709 -43.5%

Motorcycles 396107 262992 50.6% 1449677 1023650 41.6%

Grand Total 479459 393479 21.9% 1824552 1518114 20.2%
Motorcycle growth was led by the new CT100 model in the entry segment, which
clocked sales of almost lakh units a month in just a few months from its launch.
Launched in May last year, the bike was an instant hit with the commuters due to
its low price, high fuel efficiency and smart looks for an entry level bike. The bike
succeeded in acquiring the leadership position in the entry segment from Hero
Honda’s CD Dawn and even posed a challenge to the might of Splendor.
Later in the year, Bajaj launched the much-awaited Discover in the 125 cc
executive segment. The bike received great reviews due to its superior
11
technology and suave looks and is contemplated to be the biggest contender to
Splendor’s title in coming years. The Discover model is clocking around 25,000
units per month currently and commands nearly 40% of the 125 cc segment
sales. Apart from these new launches, Bajaj continued its dominance in the
premium segment, courtesy the Pulsar twins, and firmly stood it’s ground against
the Honda’s new entrant ‘Unicorn’, which was expected to affect Pulsar sales.
The unexpectedly strong sales performance has forced the company to increase
capacities of motorcycles from 1.8 million to 2.4 million for the year.
In the coming year, Bajaj is contemplating launching of two new bike models by
June, one each in entry and premium segments. In the premium segment, the
market is anticipating Pulsar 200 cc model while the entry-level bike is likely to be
a stripped down version of CT100, with a price tag of less than Rs 30,000.
Meanwhile, Discover, due to its superior features should attract greater number
of buyers. Also, the newly launched scooter Bajaj Wave is banking on niche
segments and the company has great expectations from this model. The
company will continue to follow an aggressive pricing policy in search of market
share.
TVS MOTOR
TVS Motors has been a laggard as regards FY05 was concerned and has
disappointed a great deal of its supporters. Overall sales for the year grew just
under 2% to 1.16 million, while the motorcycle sales ended the year 4% lower to
6.8 lakh bikes.
Vehicle Sales Q4FY05 Q4FY04 % Chg FY05 FY04 % Chg
Motorcycles 176921 181420 -2.5% 679536 706558 -3.8%
Scooters 48759 44471 9.6% 224621 189238 18.7%
Mopeds 71025 69358 2.4% 263393 251065 4.9%
Total Sales 296705 295249 0.5% 1167550 1146861 1.8%
Second half of FY05 was however much better, assisted by the launch of “Star”
100 cc. Scooter sales were up 19% for the year, aided by strong growth in sales
of Scooty model and managed to control some on the damage done by faltering
bike sales. For the year, the company’s market share in the two wheelers has
fallen by nearly 270 bps to 18.7%.
In the motorcycle division, TVS has lost significant market share due to sharp fall
in sales of entry-level bike Max 100, with no other model from the TVS stable
filling in the gap until the launch of Star in mid November. The company launched
the 125 cc Victor GLX in Sept to capitalize on the immense growth prospects of
this segment. The bike has met with moderate success due to heightened
competition in the segment and sells close to 15,000 units.
TVS has lined up big-ticket expansion of over Rs 400 crore in the next few years
which includes a two wheeler plant in Indonesia to strengthen its international
presence. The Indonesian plant will have an initial annual capacity of 1.2 lakh
12
units, while another two wheeler plant will be set up in India to enhance the local
presence.
In the coming year, TVS plans to introduce three new models to provide the
much-needed spurt to the volumes, apart from relying on consistently performing
Victor and Star models. Scooty Pep 100 cc version will be launched in second or
third quarter of FY06, while the new Fiero premium model is also expected
sometime in the early 2006 to replace the current Fiero model.
Though the growth rates may taper off after growing at a fast pace for the past
two years, the market now is nearly 6 billion units and accounts for 20 percent of
the global market. Apart from the top three, even the likes of LML and Kinetic
have been aggressive in their growth plans, while international players Honda
and Suzuki too have evinced strong interest in Indian two wheeler markets.
The dream run seen by two wheelers is expected to continue over the next few
years even though monsoons continue to remain the biggest driver, and creates
an air of uncertainty. Apart from monsoons, low interest rates, increasing
purchasing power, low operating cost of a two wheeler and greater choices to
customers at varying price points induce confidence for long term growth in the
industry.
Hero Honda, through its widespread dealer network and fuel-efficient models,
continues to remain attractively poised to reap rewards of the growth in industry.
Bajaj, the challenger, has clearly demonstrated its ability to out grow the industry
and has priced products competitively in an effort to improve market share. TVS
despite the promises has failed to deliver and still is an underdog in the race to
top.

Indian Banking History

In the 1960’s the Indian government set out on a policy of nationalizing all of the
major banks, and effectively putting them under the control of the Indian
government. The first wave in the late 1960’s consisted of the leading fourteen
banks, and the second wave of nationalization occurred in 1980’s which
consisted of six additional banks.2 The nationalization of banks significantly
alters the priorities of those institutions from profit maximization to doing the will
of the Indian government. In 1990’s, the Indian government embarked on a policy
of liberalization of banks within the Indian economy. This liberalization finally
allowed once again for private banks to operate with little interference from the
government. These banks were given the nick name “the New Generation tech
savvy banks.”3 The first private bank to begin operation under the new flag of
liberalization was HDFC Bank, which began operations in 1995.
The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst

the first to receive an ‘in-principle’ approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
to set up a bank in the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalization of the
14
Indian Banking Industry in 1994. HDFC Bank commenced operations as a
Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.
Company Profile:
HDFC Bank Limited, a private sector bank, provides financial services to

corporations, and middle and upper-income individuals in India. It has three
divisions: Wholesale Banking, Retail Banking, and Treasury Operations. In
addition, the bank provides telephone, Internet, and mobile telephone banking
services. As of March 31, 2005, it operated 467 branches and 1,147 ATMs in 211
cities.
HDFC Unique Positioning
HDFC incorporated without any government ownership, allowing it to have a very

unique position within the Indian economy. Even though HDFC did not suffer
from government ownership, its major competitors did. Up to this day, nineteen
different Indian banks are considered nationalized. Private Banks without any
government ownership generally are held liable by their shareholders and
generally strive to maximize profits. In addition, without any government
ownership these organizations face a real potential for going bankrupt without
any help from the government. These realities encompass a hard budget
Constraint, which means the organization, faces a real chance of death. The
management will have more of an incentive to grow and expand the business.
The government ownership of these banks conceivable changes the priorities of

these banks from profit maximization to abiding by what priorities the Indian
government lays down. If the Indian government decides that the additional
growth is necessary within small business loans; the Indian banks will feel
pressured to issue all loans that are in relation to small business’s even if they
may result in a lose. In addition, government controlled banks will fear
bankruptcy less because of the fact their organization is owned by the Indian
government. This mentality will result in these organizations being run less
efficiently as well as less emphasis placed on profit maximization.
Therefore, HDFC, one of the few private banks in India with profit maximization
as its sole priority competing against government controlled banks with possibly
multiple priorities in one of the premier growth markets.
Further Company Information
The Wholesale Banking division provides loans, deposit products, documentary

credits, guarantees, bullion trading, and foreign exchange and derivative
products. It also offers cash management services, clearing and settlement
services for stock exchanges, tax and other collections for the government,
15
custody services for mutual funds, and correspondent banking services. The
Retail Banking division provides various deposit products, as well as loans, bill
payment services, gold and silver credit cards, debit cards, third party
distribution, investment advisory services, card and automated teller machine
(ATM) acquiring transactions, and depositary services. The Treasury Operations
division offers foreign exchange and derivative products for its clients. The
company was incorporated in 1994 and is headquartered in Mumbai, India.
HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an impeccable

track record in India as well as in international markets. Since its inception in
1977, the Corporation has maintained a consistent and healthy growth in its
operations to remain a market leader in mortgages. Its outstanding loan portfolio
covers well over a million dwelling units. HDFC has developed significant
expertise in retail mortgage loans to different market segments and also has a
large corporate client base for its housing related credit facilities
Critical elements:
• ·Acquired Times Bank in merger from Times Of India Group (5 – 6%

present holding) in 2000.
• HDFC owns only 24.4%, rest owned by public and private equity
investors JP Morgan Chase (5-6%).
• ·Large Foreign Institutional Investors (in India) including Putnam,
etc. (big vote in Indian equity markets) – 10-11%
• ·Warburg Pincus has a significant holding in HDFC (its promoter)
On mortgages: HDFC Bank has entered into an Memorandum of

Understanding with HDFC Ltd. wherein HDFC Bank will source housing
loans for HDFC Ltd. (possible future merger – ICICI and ICICI Bank; didn’t bring
in due to very broad-based and industry focus and felt more comfortable with
HDFC)
The Growing Indian Middle Class
The central customer base for HDFC is India’s middle class and upper class. In
the last ten years the percentage of the population that makes up the middle
class has doubled from 7% to nearly 15%. the current economic growth of seven
percent will probably be maintained for the foreseeable future allowing for
additional growth in the middle class. By all accounts, if the growth rate is
maintained then half of India will turn middle class between 2020 and 2040,
these potential growth prospects for HDFC are enormous especially with their
key client base will experience so much growth over the next two decades
assuming that current growth rates are maintained.
16
HDFC Present Strategy
Mortgages in India
HDFC present strategy concentrates greatly around the growth of the Indian
mortgage market. At present mortgage payments only contribute approximately 3
percent of India’s GDP as compared to other countries with significantly bigger
mortgage markets. HDFC believes it can break the cultural barrier and expand
into the Indian mortgage market, which has the potential for tremendous growth.
Factors working for a good market scenario:
- Rising Disposable Income
- Low Interest Rates
- Generally Stable Property Prices
- Increased Urbanization
- Housing Shortages
Percentage GDP Paid to Mortgages vs. Individual Countries HDFC has the
ability to expand the present Indian mortgage market because of the ideally
strong market climate, but also because HDFC has the home court advantage in
respect to culture in India. Like most culture, Indians would like to borrow from a
“local” bank rather than a foreign controlled bank such as Citigroup or HSBC.
Within the hunters, what’s HDFC’s strategy for increasing market share:
Technology:
HDFC Bank operates in a highly automated environment in terms of information

technology and communication systems. The entire bank's branches have
connectivity which enables the bank to offer speedy funds transfer facilities to its
Customers. Multi-branch access is also provided to retail customers through the
branch network and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). The Bank has made
substantial efforts and investments in acquiring the best technology available
internationally to build the infrastructure for a world-class bank. In terms of
software, the Corporate Banking business is supported by Flexcube, while the
Retail Banking business by Finware, both from i-flex Solutions Ltd (no.1 banking
software in the world). The systems are open, scaleable and web-enabled.

Among the first and only to offer net banking, mobile banking, universal
access, extended hours, large ATM network, electronic collection &
payment gateways (bills, payrolls), etc.
Key differentiators in India.
Lowest Funding Costs: The technology driven customer service attracts a lot of
Deposits due to the services HDFC can offer being leaner and technology driven.
Focus on auto loans: 2-wheeler and car loans are among the fastest growing
segment, likely to be the bank’s largest retail loan segment in the near future.
Expanding portfolio – home loans, possible merger with HDFC:

It is has recently signed a MoU with HDFC for home loans. HDFC also has very
well respected insurance, securities business (insurance with Standard Life).Will
definitely leverage its distribution network.
Geographic Expansion: has gone from 60 cities 2 years ago to over 150 today.
Critical as a lot of the untapped market is in the “heartland” of the emerging
middle class, i.e., Tier II and Tier III cities.
Market Growth:
Scheduled commercial banks touched, on the deposit front, a growth of 14% as
Against 18% registered in the previous year (2002-2003). And on advances, the
Growth was 14.5% against 17.3 % of the earlier year. Retail finance business is
likely to grow at a CAGR of 34% in FY2003-07. ICICI and HDFC best positioned
to take advantage. The retail loan portfolios of both the banks are expected by
analysts to grow at an annualized 45-60% over FY2003-07. This would increase
the share of retail loans in their asset books, contributing to a rise in the margins
and RoEs of both.

products and product variants introduced this year included loans against
existing property as well as several value-added features – retail property
services and home insurance policies bundled with the loan. During fiscal 2002

20
Additional Key Strategies
HDFC management during late 2005 and early 2006 redefined its business
strategy to focusing on high yield loans. The type of loans these consist of are:
- Personal Loans
- Credit Cards
- Two Wheeler Loans
This emphases has lead to a margin expansion of between 20-30 basis points,
but it must be added that this refocusing carries additional risk with defaults on
credit cards potentially are higher. In addition to loan growth, non interest income
has also seen a tremendous growth pattern and is sure to see similar growth in
the future because of Technology. HDFC invests heavily in technology whenever
possible to develop an environment of information technology and
communications systems. One way HDFC uses technology to increase revenue
is through ATM fees. From 2004 to 2005, fee incomes have grown by nearly 83
percent. The fees income growth should maintain a positive growth pattern as
HDFC continues to expand and grow in the Indian market. HDFC will continue to
look for additional ways to use technology to maximize profits whenever possible.
HDFC Bank offers business loans to address the borrowing needs of the
trading community typically around the bank branches by offering them various
facilities like credit lines, term loans for expansion/addition of facilities,
discounting of credit card receivables, letters of credit, guarantees and other

equipment and housing.

21

transactions are routed electronically between the broker and beneficiaries.
It also provides international debit cards, bill payment services, individual

Depositary accounts, mutual funds sales, investment advice, Internet
brokerage, credit cards, electronic data capture terminals and insurance.
ICICI was established by the Government of India in the 1960s as a Financial

Institution (FI, other such institutions were IDBI and SIDBI) with the objective to
finance large industrial projects. ICICI was not a bank - it could not take retail
deposits; and nor was it required to comply with Indian banking requirements for
liquid reserves. ICICI borrowed funds from many multilateral agencies (such as
the World Bank), often at concessional rates. These funds were deployed in large
corporate loans.
All this changed in 1990s. ICICI founded a separate legal entity - ICICI Bank
which undertook normal banking operations - taking deposits, credit cards, car
loans etc. The experiment was so successful that ICICI merged into ICICI Bank
("reverse merger") in 2002.
At the time of the reverse merger, there were rumors that ICICI had large
proportions of Non Performing Loans ("NPA", as they are known in India) on its
books - in particular to the steel industry. Since 2002, there has been a general
revival in Indian industry (and metal based industry in particular). It is widely
believed that the proportion of NPAs has come down to prudent levels (even if it
were high earlier).
ICICI Bank now has the largest market share among all banks in retail or
consumer financing. ICICI Bank is the largest issuer of credit cards in India It was
the first bank to offer a wide network of ATM's and had the largest network of
ATM's till 2005, before SBI caught up with it.
ICICI bank now has the largest market value of all banks in India, and is widely
seen as a sophisticated bank able to take on many global banks in the Indian
market.
The bank is expanding in overseas markets. It has operations in the UK, Hong
Kong, Singapore and Canada. It acquired a small bank in Russia recently. It has
tie-ups with major banks in the US and China. The bank is aggressively targeting
the NRI (Non Resident Indian) population for expanding its business.

Pamac international-The Credit processing house (CPA)
for HDFC BANK
Pamac international eliminates the paper headaches from the 2 wheeler loan
process and streamlines the business process to generate cost and time savings
for HDFC bank.
2 wheeler loan files, in HDFC bank flow in a linear fashion where the file moves
from point A to B to C. By incorporating a Pamac imaging solution at the
beginning of the process, HDFC bank will improve loan processing times by
turning the linear process into a virtual process. The flexibility of a virtual process
allows employees to work on any part of the loan process at any time, increasing
productivity and reducing costs.
By integrating the data capture solution at the beginning of the loan process,
Pamac can assure data integrity in the 2 wheeler loan servicing system as well
as reduce bottlenecks in areas like post closing. By combining imaging services
and data capture services, you can increase throughput, reduce the costs to
process a loan and even reduce the time to sell loans to the secondary market.
The Pamac Business Process
Document, Scanning, Indexing and Audit
Pamac business process outsourcing model involves the following steps:
• Preparing the loan files for scanning by uniquely identifying each

document type and each loan file.
• Scanning the loan files automatically reading the file separator barcode
and storing each loan file and all corresponding documents.
• Matching a loan database to the scanned inventory to ensure that all files
were accounted for in the capture process.
• Providing data capture services used to input the key information of a loan
file into an origination or servicing system or act as an audit against
existing data.
Clerical Processing
Clients may elect to outsource even more of their non-core business by allowing
Pamac to provide incoming mail services for their mortgage loans. Pamac can
receive inbound loan files, prepare, scan, index and return the digital and paper
26
images with efficient turnaround times and detailed methods that ensure
accountability and accuracy.
Data Capture
Data is keyed domestically or off-shore from the imaged document and returned
within 24 hours. Data capture services allow audits against existing data or input
of new data into existing systems. By using Pamac for this function, banks can
achieve significant savings over existing data entry costs as well as improved
processing times.
The Pamac Advantage:
• Government Insuring (meet timelines and reduce penalties)

• End-of-Month peaks (accelerate processing backlogs)
• Indexing the loan after scanning.
• Use off-shore data entry services.
• Shorten window of time to insure and sell a loan or pool of loans.
• Reduce Processing Complexity
• Better process for error identification and recovery
• Off-shore document identification and indexing

• Data entry of Retail Loans.
• Post Disbursal Documents follow-up.
• Due-diligence and Securitization Audits.
• Cheque Processing, Encoding and Banking

How is a Loan processed?
When you submit your business loan application, it may seem like it disappears
into a black hole. But understanding how the commercial loan processing system
works can help reduce your anxiety while you wait for approval.
Some lenders like to prequalify potential borrowers to determine how much they
can afford. This will also give you and your lender an opportunity to see which
loan program would be most appropriate for your needs. The lender will gather
basic information, such as your income and existing debts. To initiate the loan
process, you must then complete and submit a loan application.
Once your application is received, a loan officer or processor will review your
credit reports, the amount of available collateral, and your income. Your loan
officer will determine if any additional documentation is required, such as
personal financial statements. If you are purchasing real estate, you may also
need to submit preliminary environmental reports, area maps, title reports,
property appraisals, and lease summaries. If you are going through a broker, he
or she will package your loan request and submit it to several lenders for
approval.
After your commercial loan package is submitted to the decision makers — either
a loan committee or underwriter — the processor will present you with a letter of
intent or term sheet. This is a formal document intended to ensure that all parties
involved (the lender and your company) are on the same page. The letter of
intent may include the names of involved parties, amount of financing, type of
security (collateral), and other key terms. During the underwriting process, you
may need to furnish additional documentation.
If you are using a broker, he or she should be helping you negotiate the best
terms, fees, and conditions from various lenders. The next step is choosing the
most attractive offer, and signing and returning the final letter of intent along with
a check, if required, for a deposit, and to pay for third-party reports, such as
appraisals.
28
After all third-party reports are successfully completed and underwriting
conditions are satisfied, the final loan package is resubmitted to the loan
committee for final approval
At this point the lender will issue a final full loan commitment. If your loan is
approved, your closing agent, who may be an attorney, a title company, or
escrow company representative, will receive closing documents. Your closing
agent will record or file deed transfers and mortgages, order title insurance,
coordinate the exchange of funds, and arrange for you to sign the loan
documents. Closing can take place within days of approval or underwriting. At the
closing, the lender funds the loan with a cashier’s check, draft, or electronic wire
transfer.

formalities
Pre-qualification/customer walk- in stage
"Prequalification" occurs before the loan process actually begins, and is usually
the first step after initial contact is made. In a prequalification, the lender gathers
information about the income and debts of the borrower and makes a financial
determination about how much the borrower may be able to afford. Different loan
programs may lead to different values, depending on whether you are qualified
for them, so to get a prequalification for each type of program you are suited for
Becomes an important task for the canvasser who educates the customer about
the finance scheme according to his ability to pay now and the rest EMI’S
Application for the QUICK DATA ENTRY (QDE) AND DETAILED DATA
ENTRY (DDE)
The "application" is actually the beginning of the loan process and usually occurs
at the place where the customer walks into the dealership. The buyer, now
referred to as a "borrower", completes a mortgage application with the loan
officer and supplies all of the required documentation for processing. In most of
the cases borrower is not able to provide all the required documentations which
becomes one of the basic reasons for the delays. Various fees and down
payments are discussed at this time and the borrower will receive a Good Faith
Estimate (GFE) and a Truth-In-Lending statement (TIL) which itemizes the rates
and associated costs for obtaining the loan. As the information is being noted
down to the canvasser, the same is being referred to the CPA for the QDE/DDE
which is basically recording all the necessary information into the system so that
any improvements can be seen anytime, anywhere and by anybody (bank
officials)
32
Pre-Approval/physical file and RIC check
Once you have made application, your lender will submit your file for automated
underwriting. The automated underwriting systems will review your income,
assets, liabilities, credit scores, loan-to-value ratios, and your proposed loan
details. This system will then give an approval or denial within a stipulated period
of time and then RIC department which helps in checking the authenticities of
documentation and other information regarding the prospective customer
Underwriting
The underwriter is responsible for determining whether the combined package

passed over by the processor is deemed as an acceptable loan. If more
information is needed, the loan is put into "suspense" and the borrower is
contacted to supply more documentation. If the underwriter needs clarification,
we will phone call the sales department and if sales department in any case need
help in answering the underwriter's question, he will call back the customer for
his queries.
"Mortgage insurance underwriting" occurs when the borrower has less than 25%
of the loan amount to put towards a down payment. At this time, the sale
department either has to increase the down payment or take more
documentations or in worst cases make a co-applicant which insure the
guarantee for any default made by the borrower and then the credit manager has
to give his decision again, if in case he is satisfied with the case then he may
approve the case or in the either case may also reject it.
The file then once again moves to the CPA and FI is done once again and CAM
card to be attached physically and RIC check is being done once again for
further inspections.
Processing
At this time the lender orders a property appraisal, orders title insurance mails
out requests for verifications, if necessary, for employment (VOE) and bank
deposits (VOD) and any other documents needed for processing of the loan. All
information supplied by the borrower is reviewed at this time and a list of items
not yet received is compiled. The "processor" reviews the credit reports and
verifies the borrower's debts and payment histories as the VODs and VOEs are
returned. If there are unacceptable late payments, collections for judgment, etc.,
a written explanation is required from the borrower. The processor also reviews
the appraisal and survey and checks for property issues that may require further
33
discernment. The processor's job is to put together an entire package that may
be underwritten by the lender.
Closing a loan
At the closing, the lender "funds" the loan with a cashier's check, draft or wire to
the selling party in exchange for the title to the property. This is the point at which
closing documents are being filled properly and actually title is being transferred
to the borrower. The borrower finishes the loan process and actually buys the
vehicle

• TVR status is available with the CPA within 30 mins in most of the cases.
• FI status takes a bit time since sometimes the cases belong to rural areas
where it is very difficult to find the address and takes 2-4 hrs in most of the
cases,
• LOS no. is generated after the file is logged in into the system and takes
2-3 days on an average,
• physical files takes minimum 1 0r 2 days and sometimes the time can also
exceed to 3-4 days,
• approvals also shows the same trend
• files take a lot of time for disbursements and time can exceed to even
more than 4 days in most of the cases
Recommendations and Suggestions
59
• Since most of the people are falling under 18-25 yrs age group the bank
should launch different schemes for different age group like for e.g. 15
mins loan approval scheme for youngsters.
• Banks should give training to there canvassers to entertain different

customers in a different way so that they are satisfied with there services.
• For people having strong financial or personal record should be given the
loan on a fast and priority basis so that time is not wasted in getting the FI
done and TVR.
• A good friendly and cordial relationship with dealer should be maintained

so that the vehicle is delivered to the customers as fast as possible.
• Bank should look for new and innovative ideas for reducing the time
required for fulfilling the formalities like agri proof required by the farmers
in case of high LTV cases.
• Bank must mention some of the common documents required by the bank
to be furnished by the customers in the advertisements so that customers
are aware of the documents to be submitted and time is reduced in
fulfilling such requirements.
• Since PDC’s are big problems for the banks and increases the time lag for
loan processing, bank should open there customers account in there own
bank and try to get the cheque book available for them.
• Bank should have there own photographers who can take the customers
photo then and there which will reduce a lot of time and authenticity of the
photo is also maintained.
• Banks should have there PC’s at the dealership points so that files are
logged in then and there and time is not wasted in noting down the
information.
• If a case is sourced through a DSA or DST then a PC should be installed

at office which is located between 2-3 DSA’s and DST’s.
• Since FI agency takes a lot of time in giving the status of the rural cases
so there should be a proper team of special FI people who will take care of
the major villages from where cases are in quantity.
60
• Canvassers mostly take 20 mins to explain the customer about the
scheme, so there should be proper training for the canvassers in which
they can explain the customers in not more than 10 mins
• Special calling teams should be there for intimating the customers about
there pendencies so that cases are being disbursed as soon as possible.
• Banks should tie-up with the dealers to open there inventory funding
accounts so that money is being transferred through wire and the process
is being made more fast.
• The system of DELIVERY ORDER (DO) should be closed and it should be

changed to a better and fast system which will reduce the time in giving
the vehicle to the customers.
61
New process developed for loan
processing
1. Fax based approval system should be done.

2. As soon as the query is generated the filled form
would be faxed and CPV data is punched
automatically on LOS.
3. The same data generated would be made available
to the TVR and FI agency online and as soon as the
status is made available, the same will be
forwarded to the credit manager for the decision to
be made.
4. CPV agency completes the CPV within the
stipulated period of time and it is forwarded to
credit team who will give the decision.
5. If the credit approves the case then the file is
disbursed and credited to the dealer online to his
inventory funding account.
6. If the file is pending then the sales department to
complete the documents required.
TAT for various activities.
• Fax based query generation—7 mins

• TVR status—7 mins
• CPV done—90 mins
• Credit manager decision time required –7 mins
By applying this new process the TAT is reduced to 2hrs.

One of the most pleasant part of writing a report is that, it gives the opportunity to thank
all those, with whose guidance, cooperation and sincere advice I have able to draw and
complete my research report entitled “Market testing of Refinance Loan for existing
Auto customers in Delhi”
Today when I am submitting my project report, I would be failing in my duties if I do not

thank various persons without whom this project would never be completed.
70
I thank Mr. Sanjay, Relationship Manager, Auto loans, ICICI Bank for providing me
an opportunity to be a part of this project. I thank him for making me feel comfortable
and providing me with all the information and tools to make my project successful. This

true guidance of Mr. Sanjay.
First of all I would like to pay my sincere thanks to Dr. S.S.Vernekar, Director
(BVIMR) for not only giving me the opportunity to work on this project, but also for

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
81
To know the percentage of customers willing in taking a re-finance option
on their existing loan in the given sample of 200.
MANAGERIAL USEFULNESS OF THE

STUDY
82
This study was very much useful for me. During this research i interacted with different
customers personally and observe lot of things and must say learnt a lot of practical thing
from them. But as we are talking about managerial usefulness of this study so, as we
conduct survey with the help of well-formatted questionnaire, all feedbacks are kept by
the me for future studies as secondary data.
So, finally overall research was really enjoyed by me.
The usefulness of this study for manager is as follow: -
• This study would help manager to find out the market response of Refinance
loans before its launch.
• It provides a feedback to the company about their product, which is refinance

loans.
• It provides the information about the company’s stand in the market.
• It helps the manager to apply the various activities, which is useful to increase the
market share of its product.
• It helps the manager to know about the preference and choice of the customers so
that they can plan out their future analysis and strategies on that basis.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
83
Every project work is based on certain methodology, which is a way to systematically
solve the problem or attain its objectives. It is a very important guideline and lead to
completion of any project work through observation, data collection and data analysis.
According to Clifford Woody,

“Research Methodology comprises of defining &
redefining problems, collecting, organizing & evaluating data, making deductions &
researching to conclusions.”
Research Instruments
Primary data
Primary data are those, which were collected afresh & for the first time and thus happen
to be original in character. However, there are many methods of collecting the primary
data; all have not been used for the purpose of this project. The ones that have been used
are:
• Structured questionnaire
Secondary data
When an investigator uses the data that has been already collected by others is called
secondary data. The secondary data could be collected from Journals, Reports and
Various Publications. The advantages of secondary data can be economical, both in the
term of money and time spent. In this report the secondary data was collected through:
• Textbooks
• Magazines
• Articles
• Websites
84
It is understood that a thorough descriptive research design lays the foundation of
good research. For research we have stressed upon conclusive research and have been
carried out by personal survey.
For this research work more stressed is given on primary data. Primary data will
not only be relevant for research project but it is also reliable, accurate and dependable.
QUESTIONNAIRE
A questionnaire is a set of questions printed or typed in definite order on a form or set of
form. There are two type of questionnaire, the first one is standard questionnaire and the
second one is un-standard questionnaire. The authority or expert sets the standard
questionnaire. In the other hand un-structured questionnaire is set according to objective
of the study by researcher. In this research work we used un-structured questionnaire with
my best ability and under the guidance of the company guide.
The questionnaire was formulated by keeping in mind the following points.

• Giving the respondents clear comprehension of the question.
• Including the respondents to co-operate.
• Giving instructions as to what is wanted.
• Identifying the needs to be known.
• After floor acing the questionnaire, the respondents were personally contacted.
Each respondent was requested to answers the question with appropriate answer
genuinely. All the questions were made very clear to them. The questionnaires
were duly filled with the responses of all the respondents in the current project
work.
INTERVIEW METHOD
85
There was a fact to face interaction with most of the samples. They were directly
questioned and accordingly personal and professional information were collected from
them. In this project work I have made interview with almost respondent to know some
extra data or fact, which was used in this project work.
OBSERVATION METHOD
In the observation method, the researcher himself collects necessary information by
observing the phenomena under this method. Observation may be conducted on in the
natural field or in the form of experiment.
After the observation, the data is carefully noted in the questionnaire format. We
used uncontrolled observation in this observation which takes place in the natural setting.
Consumers were free to express their feeling about their choice of fuel . The observation
method give us an idea about the Consumer market and buyer’s behaviour on Petrol
and Diesel.
Sample size
Sample size refers to the number of items to be selected from the universe to constitute
the sample. The sample size neither be too small nor be too large, but it must be sufficient
enough to properly analyze and to achieve the objectives of the study. Hence, here the
sample size is of 200 customers through questionnaire, which is sufficient to analyze and
also to achieve the objectives of the study.
STATISTICAL TOOLS USED

The main statistical tools used for the collection and analyses of data in this project are:
• Questionnaire
• Pie Charts
• Tables
Questionnaire
86
Q.1. Do you require any additional loan on your existing vehicle?
1. Yes
2. No
If answer to Q.1. is Yes, then following questions are asked:
Q.2. What is the model of the vehicle (in terms of year)?

Q.3. What is your loan requirement (approx)?
Q.4. For how much duration do you want the loan?
If answer to Q.1. is No, then again try and pitch the customer
FINDINGS
87
A sample size of 200 has been given by the two Direct Selling Agents (DSA), DSA1 and
DSA2, with sample size 100 each. These sample have been chosen in accordance to their
ladel number as per the records of ICICI Bank.
1st Stage
Findings of the first stage show that initially out of 200, almost 75 were ready to give
refinance loan a thought. 40 were ready from DSA1’ sample and 35 were ready from that
of DSA2.

ANALYSIS
ICICI earns a business of Rs. 300 Crores/month on car loans.
So, if 35 customers are ready to take the refinance loan, then it means out of a sample
size of 200, 17.5% people are interested.
This means that:
17.5% * Rs. 300 crores/month = Rs. 52.5 crores/month will be the income earned per
month on refinance loans, if they are taken out in the market.
89
Secondly, following are the reasons which came out during the refusal of final offer:
 Higher EMI of the Re-finance loan.
 Higher cost of interest
 Personal loans are available at 12-13-14% interest, then why to go for 15-16%
interest of Re-finance loans.
 Maturity of the loans
RESULTS OF THE PROJECT
With a sample size of 200 existing Auto customers, 35 agreed to take the
loan. This means if the product is introduced in the market it will be a good
source of income for the organization and will add to the portfolio of the
organization Thus the product should be introduced in the market as soon as
possible.
90
Results of this research study are given as follows:
 Introduction of the Re-finance loan is a good way to increase the

portfolio
 When 12% of the people are wiling to take new car loans, then 15%
are willing to take Re-finance loans. The balance 3% will be the
company’s extra revenue
 A difference point is there between personal loans and Re-finance
loans
Thus the product should be introduced in the market as soon as possible for
earning the portfolios and hence the market share. This will help maintaining
the position of ICICI in the market and it will remail a leader as such.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the data collected through the questionnaire and interactions

with the students the following recommendations are made for
consideration:
 EMI on Re-finance loan should be reduced a bit so that a customer

doesn’t leave it for the personal loans.
91
 The Re-finance loans should carry certain other advantages so that
a customer is motivated to take it.
 It will be a good portfolio earner so it should be introduced as early

as possible.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
No study is an ultimate effort. It always leaves room for improvement and it

is the limitation of one study, which serves as the bases for further research
ventures. Even though, sincere efforts are taken to ensure that an exact
picture can be arrived at, still there may be some limitations related to the
study. These are listed as below:
92
• The work has been carried out in a limited time, which acts as a
constraint while doing a thorough research work
• The sample size was small and hence the results can have a degree of
variation
• Questionnaire is subjected to errors
• Consumer may have manipulated their responses
