EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Need for the StudyBanks form the major backbone of our economy. Banking products form a part of our

vast financial system hence their development is possible only if the customers are happy and

satisfied. The market share of an organization can be improved by analyzing the general

perceptions of the people about the very organization and also of its competitors. This can be

done by peer analysis.

This report is meant to determine the general perceptions of Professional, self employed and

businessman regarding SBIs Car Loan process. It aims at studying the car loan product of State

Bank of India, conducting a market survey to find the acceptability/popularity of the loan product

among these categories of customers, to sort out the difficulties faced by the customer and

analyzing the findings in order to find out where the bank stands and using the results thus

obtained to formulate strategies to improve its market share.

For this project, various questionnaires were provided to customers, noncustomers of SBI and the

dealers and information was collected from them. Apart from these the car loan scheme of various

banks namely HDFC, AXIS, IDBI, Punjab National Bank, Utkal Hyundai, Sky Automobiles,

Narayani Automobiles, Jyoti Automobiles were studied and compared with that of SBI. The

popularity of the banks loan product was ascertained through a survey. The analysis was done

and interpretations were recorded. The results showed that there were many difficulties faced by

the customers which differed according to their categories. Though SBI was leading the market

but there were certain negative aspects of the bank which if worked on at the right time, could

prove to be beneficial to it. Strategies have been formulated taking into consideration the reasons

why people havent chosen SBI for availing car loan.

Hence this study was meant to know the level of expectation of people for the Car loan product

and their satisfaction. This survey also helped me to find out the popularity of car loan product

and difficulties faced by the professionals, self employed and businessman.

FRAMEWORK OF STUDY

THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE

This report is meant to determine the acceptability/popularity and the general perceptions of

Professional, self employed and businessman regarding SBIs Car Loan process. Thus, for this

purpose, we need to study the consumer behavior aspect.

Consumer behavior is the study of individuals, groups, or organizations and the processes they

use to select, secure, and dispose of products, services, experiences, or ideas to satisfy needs and

the impacts that these processes have on the consumer. It may be defined as the decision-making

process and the physical activity involved in evaluating the various aspects of goods or services in

order to initiate a purchase. Customer behaviour study is based on consumer buying behaviour,

with the customer playing the three distinct roles of user, payer and buyer. Relationship

marketing is an influential asset for customer behaviour analysis. A greater importance is also

placed on consumer retention, customer relationship management, personalization, customization

and one-to-one marketing.

Customer relationship management (CRM) entails all aspects of interaction that the

organisation has with its customer, whether it is sales or service-related. CRM is often thought of

as a business strategy that enables businesses to:

Understand the customer

Retain customers through better customer experience

Attract new customer

Win new clients and contracts

Increase profitably

Decrease customer management costs

It helps an enterprise to enable its marketing departments to identify and target their best

customers, manage marketing campaigns and generate quality leads for the sales team.

The marketing stimuli are planned and processed by the organization, whereas the

environmental stimuli are given by social factors, based on the economical, political and

cultural circumstances of a society.

For providing better consumer value, the bank should have proper knowledge of the needs

of the consumer and should formulate plans and strategies for marketing their product.

Marketing strategy is defined by Prophet's David Aakeras a process that can allow an

organization to concentrate its resources on the optimal opportunities with the goals of increasing

sales and achieving a sustainable competitive advantage.

Marketing strategy includes the formulation of strategies in order to provide superior

customer value. These strategies are formulated keeping in mind the 7-Ps i.e. product, price,

promotion, place, process, people and physical evidence.

Figure 3. The 7-Ps of Marketing

To understand the likes and dislikes of consumers, extensive consumer research studies shouldbe conducted by the bank. The following should be considered:

What the customers thinks of the loan procedure in bank.

If the procedure happens to be better, then how can it be improved in their opinion?

What is the customers attitude towards thebank and its advertising?


13/38


13 | P a g e

A popular definition of bank marketing is given by S. Kuppuswami in the

following words, "Creation and delivery of financial services suitable to meet the

customer's need at a profit to the bank". This definition recognises the imperative need

to satisfy customers, the significance of both the creation and delivery aspects of bank

services and underlying profit motive.

Deryk Weyer of Barclays Bank defines bank marketing as, Consisting of identifying the

most profitable markets now and in future, assessing the present and future needs of customers,

setting business development goals, making plans to meet them and managing the various

services and promoting them to achieve the plans - all in the context of changing environment

in the market.

The perceptions of customers about a bank product is

basically dependent on the services provided by the bank such as interest rates, processing

time, hassle-free operations, minimal documentation, location advantage, etc.

Auto Loan product offered by SBI

multiple reasons. While non customers about only 10% expressed interest in trying SBI next

time and almost 70% were not interested as they were satisfied with their service provider and

also may be due to lack of proper information regarding loan procedure in SBI. 20% of the SBI

Figure 14: Reasons for not preferring SBI

Interpretation:Out of the non customers who did not choose SBI as their preferred bank for

car loan cited the reason as to the delay in processing of their loan request. Nearly 25% of them

were of the view that SBI takes a lot of time in processing their documents and disbursing the

loan. About 18% found the interest rates higher than their service provider and about 12% were

not interested due to floating interest rates. About 15% of them found the documentation

procedure unsuitable to their profile. There were many others who could not opt for SBI as

their income did not match the eligibility criteria of the bank. Some of them stepped back due

to callous attitude of the bank employees. About 10% found the processing fee to be higher.

the bank.

The data collected from various dealers have been analyzed and the findings are as follows:

Figure 15: Car bookings

Interpretation: The data collected from various car dealers reveals that the number of

vehicles financed is more than the number of vehicles ownedby 28%. In other words, people

these days are more dependent on banking institutions to avail car loan facilities.

Figure 16: Banks preferred by customers

Interpretation: According to dealers, SBI happens to be the most preferred bank with more

than 56% of the bookings opting for SBI to avail car loan. Other banks like HDFC and AXIS

share around 24% followed by Non banking finance companies having a demand of around

20%. Thus we can see that banks tend to be the leading market players in the car loan segment

over non banking finance companies.

Figure 17: Banks which dealers refer to their customers

Interpretation: From the above diagram, it can be inferred that SBI and HDFC are the two

most referred banks. SBI tops the dealer referral and counts about 90% followed by HDFC

counting about 80% of the referral. AXIS follows suit with a share of around 50% while other

banks are rarely referred to with a count of 20%.

Figure 18: Reasons for choosing the bank

Interpretation: According to dealers, customers prefer SBI and HDFC the most. More than

80% prefer SBI due to lower interest rates. HDFC lags a little behind in this aspect but outruns

SBI by 75% when it comes to easy and quick disposal of loans. As inferred earlier, SBIs

biggest drawback is the delay involved in the processing of loans. But

again SBI tops the list from location point of view grabbing a share of more than 75%. In

terms of transparent dealing, yet again SBI leads the market with more than 85% of the

respondents choosing the bank. AXIS bank, although referred to by various dealers, hasnt

been able to capture a good market share as we can see that in terms of lower interest rates it isthe least preferred bank with merely 40% share, as low as nearly 35% when it comes to quick

disposal and less than 50% from the location point of view. Regarding non banking financial

companies some of the dealers refer them still they lag behind due to their high interest rates

but due to quick disposal accounting around 70% these are preferred by mostly businessmen

and customers who prefer to have their car quickly.

Figure 19: Performance of SBI representatives

Interpretation: When asked about the performance of SBI representatives in car loan

marketing 62% dealers considered it to be excellent. 24% said good and 10% said average.

This shows that SBI has to work more on its marketing skills and need to perform more nicely.

CONCLUSION

After Studying the popularity and general perceptions of the car loan product of SBI and

keeping in mind our categories of customers gave me an insight as to what strategies should be

adopted by the bank which will help it improve its market share. From the findings it can be

clearly seen that SBIs market share is already high but there are certain crucial points where

the bank needs to work on in order to attract more customers. SBI tops the list of banks most

preferred for car loan. Most of the respondents who already have taken loan from SBI are

satisfied with its services and hence, would opt for the same in respect to car loan. Since more

people would like to finance their vehicles, they would prove to be more prospective for SBI if

the bank works on its negative aspects of the loan product.

It can be seen that most of the people who havent chosen SBI for availing car loan have cited

the reason that they find the attitude of the bank officials to be negative and repulsive. This is a

very significant aspect of any organization because this is one of the most important criterions

which determine the satisfaction/dissatisfaction of customers. Therefore, the bank needs to

improve on this aspect. Moreover, the processing of loan and the documentation procedure

followed by the bank is quite lengthy and therefore, poses a major drawback for the bank. If

the processing time is shortened and the bank gives way for minimal documentation then this

can prove to be of much use to the bank thus, increasing the number of the people seeking its

Auto Loan.

Moreover the bank needs to improve its marketing skills, and all the bank representatives must

give their best performance to attract more customers.

Many drawbacks of SBI can be cited from this study and needs to be worked over to increase

its market share in auto loan.

RECOMMENDATIONS

On the basis of the data collected through questionnaire, SBI should focus on the following

strategies in order to improve its market share:

Since the bank possess different categories of customers including professionals, self

employed and businessman accordingly their problems are also different. These must

be sorted individually as most of the businessmen are dissatisfied with the bank.

The nonresident businessmen are facing more difficulties in the documentation

procedure i.e. in providing residence proof or income proof, so some new criteria can

be introduced for them so that they may also find ease in availing car loan.

Since the main reason for people not choosing SBI for availing car loan is the problem

of delayed processing. SBI should work on this negative aspect and take necessary

corrective measures in order to attract more customers.

Another reason put forth by many respondents for not choosing SBI is the negative

attitude of the bank officials. This is a very crucial aspect to any organization because

this aspect decides the satisfaction/dissatisfaction of customers.

Though interest rates of the bank regarding car loan product is comparatively less than

other organization but still some problems are faced by the customers due to the

floating rates, so the bank needs to work on it and as much as possible try to provide a

fixed rate of interest to the customers.

There should be a proper procedure to collect customer feedback with respect to

processing time, documentation, choice/preference of the customer towards the loan

product. This feedback should be properly processed and the processed data should be

reviewed by higher authorities to bring the improvements.

Those customers who find that the documentation procedure dont match their profile

must also be considered to be important and SBI should search some way out for them

so that the bank could prevent losing its customer to other organization.

31 | P a g e

Since the Rural approach of SBI is least, the bank should try to provide proper public

awareness of their car loan scheme and their benefits in rural areas.

A system should be developed wherein in addition to the dealing officials, other staff in

a branch should also possess adequate knowledge of various loan schemes to share theinformation with other customers, as a whole should be educated to the extent possible

which can result in a group marketing of products.

Bank representatives must also give their best performance.

The bank should employ hassle-free procedures for the sanctioning of loan to the

customers.

SBI should extend its concern on fast settlement of customer grievances.

SBI should provide spot financing forpurchasing car in the dealers premises duringfestival seasons.

Conducting more number of car loan melas in order to attract more customers.
