 HISTORY

Bank of Maharashtra is an Indian bank based in the city of Pune. The bank was
established in the year 1935 with an initial authorized capital worth Rs. 10.00 Lacs,
although it became operational in the early phase of the next year. The bank got
nationalized by the Government of India in the year 1969. With a total number of
1421 branches located all over India as of April 2009, the bank claims to have the
largest number of branches within the state of Maharashtra, among all the Public
Sector banks.

Commonly known as a common man's bank, Bank of Maharashtra adopts a

philosophy of "Technology with personal touch", and follows its motto stating "One
Family, One Bank, Bank of Maharashtra".

1969 - The Company was Incorporated on 19th July. The Bank is a Government of
India undertaking and carries on all types of banking business. The Bank was brought
into existence by an ordinance issued on 19th July, by the Central Government. In
terms of the Ordinance, the undertaking of `The Bank of Maharashtra Ltd.' was
transferred to and vested in the new bank. The ordinance was replaced by the Banking
companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Act, 1969. The Act was
declared null and void by the Supreme Court on 10th February, 1970. An Ordinance
was thereupon promulgated which was latter replaced by the Banking Companies
(Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Act, 1970 which was made effective
retrospectively from 19th July.

9
Under the `Lead Bank Scheme' the Bank was allotted 5 districts of Maharashtra, viz.
Pune, Satara, Nasik, Aurangabad (jointly with Central Bank of India) and Thane.
Surveys were carried out in these districts for the identification of growth centres.

1970 - The Bank opened 39 branches in these five `Lead Bank' districts out of the total
of 47 branches opened. The Bank continued to follow the scheme in the subsequent
years and another district was allotted to it.

1976 - In August, the Bank sponsored a regional rural bank under the name `The
Marathwada Gramin Bank Ltd.,' Nanded.

1980 - Rs.81,30,725 capitalised from Reserve Fund.

1982 - One more Regional Rural Bank was sponsored on 7th December, under the
name Aurangabad-Jalna Gramin Bank Ltd. In the subsequent years, another RRB
under the Thane Gramin Bank was sponsored by the Bank. These three RRBs together
had 312 branches as at the end of March 1994. 1984 - Rs.12 lakhs contribution by
Government.

Strength/ Opportunities:

The growth for BOM in the coming years is likely to be fueled by the following
factors:

• Continued effort to increase low cost deposit would ensure improvement in NIMs
and hence earnings.

• Growing retail & SMEs thrust would lead to higher business growth.

• Strong economic growth would generate higher demand for funds pursuant to higher
corporate demand for credit on account of capacity expansion.

Weakness/ Threats:

The risks that could ensue to BOM in time to come are as under:

• BOM is currently operating at a lowest CAR. Insufficient capital may restrict the
growth prospects of the bank going forward.

• Stiff competition, especially in the retail segment, could impact retail growth of
BOM and hence slowdown in earnings growth.

• Contribution of retail credit to total bank credit stood at 26%. Significant thrust on
growing retail book poses higher credit risk to the bank.

• Delay in technology upgradation could result in loss of market shares.

• Management indicated a likely pension shortfall on account of AS-15 to be close to

Rs50bn.

• Slow down in domestic economy would pose a concern over credit off-take thereby
impacting earnings growth.

of hidden charges, high interest rate, less repayment period.

Suggestion & Recommendation

RECOMMENDATIONS:
 Customer awareness programme is required so that more people should attract
towards advance product of BOM.
 If there are any kind of hidden charges then that must disclose to customer
before giving loan to them.
 BOM must take some steps so that customers can get their loan in time. Like
phone verification by customer care that one customer is got their loan on time
or not .It must be before a certain date so necessary steps can be taken.
 BOM should more concern about physical verification rather than phone
verification so it will avoid fraud or cheating.
 Advance product selling agents must not give any type of wrong information
regarding advance product.
 For the better service new offers would be require.
 BOM customer care should more concern about the fastest settlement of
customer problems.
 Before deducting or charging any monetary charge BOM must consult with
customer.
 Agents should be trained, well educated & proper trained to convince the people
about different advance product.
 It is the duty of the bank to disclose all the material facts regarding advance
product, like interest charged, repayment period, other types of charges, etc.
 Special scheme should be implemented to encourage both customer and agents.

 Conclusion

From the analysis part it can be conclude that customers have a good respond towards
SBI advance products rather than BOM in Allahabad. SBI is at 1st position having
large number of customers & providing good services to them whereas BOM is at 7th
position.BOM has a very less customer base, so the bank should concentrate on this to
retain these customers and increase more.In my survey the main reason is that the
BOM is the new at Allahabad.So the people has less awareness about the product of
BOM.

In present scenario SBI is the largest advance product issuer in India. Within a very
short period of time the achievement made by BOM is satisfactory as comparing to
SBI or ay other bank. It happens due to employee dedication towards the organization,
fastest growing Indian economy, & brand image.

To be the largest advance product issuer, BOM should focus on-

 Launch Innovative product

 Customized advance products
 Better customer services
 Fastest customers problem solving techniques
 Customer retention
Apart from all the above, BOM believe in providing good customer services to their
customers which is a key factor for success in future.
