Organization Profile
State Bank of India (SBI) is a multinational banking and financial services company based in India. It is a government-owned corporation with its headquarters in Mumbai, Maharashtra. As of December 2012, it had assets of US$501 billion and 15,003 branches, including 157 foreign offices, making it the largest banking and financial services company in India by assets.[2] The bank traces its ancestry to British India, through the Imperial Bank of India, to the founding in 1806 of the Bank of Calcutta, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. Bank of Madras merged into the other two presidency banks—Bank of Calcutta and Bank of Bombay—to form the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn became the State Bank of India.

SBI was ranked 285th in the Fortune Global 500 rankings of the world’s biggest corporations for the year 2012.[1] SBI provides a range of banking products through its network of branches in India and overseas, including products aimed at non-resident Indians (NRIs).
SBI has 14 regional hubs and 57 Zonal Offices that are located at important cities throughout the country.
HISTORY
The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806. Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of Bengal (2nd January 1809).
A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal. These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.
Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to modernize India’s economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic framework.

Figure 1.1 Bank of Bengal H.O.
The establishment of the Bank of Bengal marked the advent of limited liability, joint-stock banking in India. So was the associated innovation in banking, viz. the decision to allow the Bank of Bengal to issue notes, which would be accepted for payment of public revenues within a restricted geographical area. This right of note issue was very valuable not only for the Bank of Bengal but also its two siblings, the Banks of Bombay and Madras. It meant an accretion to the capital of the banks, a capital on which the proprietors did not have to pay any interest.
The concept of deposit banking was also an innovation because the practice of accepting money for safekeeping (and in some cases, even investment on behalf of the clients) by the indigenous bankers had not spread as a general habit in most parts of India. But, for a long time, and especially upto the time that the three presidency banks had a right of note issue, bank notes and government balances made up the bulk of the investible resources of the banks. The three banks were governed by royal charters, which were revised from time to time.
Each charter provided for a share capital, four-fifth of which were privately subscribed and the rest owned by the provincial government. The members of the board of directors, which managed the affairs of each bank, were mostly proprietary directors representing the large European managing agency houses in India. The rest were government nominees, invariably civil servants, one of whom was elected as the president of the board.
Figure 1.2 Group Photogaph of Central Board (1921)
Establishment of the Reserve Bank of India as the central bank of the country in 1935 ended the quasi-central banking role of the Imperial Bank. The latter ceased to be bankers to the Government of India and instead became agent of the Reserve Bank for the transaction of government business at centres at which the central bank was not established. But it continued to maintain currency chests and small coin depots and operate the remittance facilities scheme for other banks and the public on terms stipulated by the Reserve Bank. It also acted as a bankers’ bank by holding their surplus cash and granting them advances against authorised securities.
The management of the bank clearing houses also continued with it at many places where the Reserve Bank did not have offices. The bank was also the biggest tenderer at the Treasury bill auctions conducted by the Reserve Bank on behalf of the Government. The establishment of the Reserve Bank simultaneously saw important amendments being made to the constitution of the Imperial Bank converting it into a purely commercial bank. The earlier restrictions on its business were removed and the bank was permitted to undertake foreign exchange business and executor and trustee business for the first time. The Imperial Bank during the three and a half decades of its existence recorded an impressive growth in terms of offices, reserves, deposits, investments and advances, the increases in some cases amounting to more than six-fold.
The Term Paper on Indian Bank Banks Banking India
Consolidation in the Banking Industry through Mergers and Acquisitions Banking scenario since 1991 has been a process of transformation and consolidation. With financial sector reforms implementation, the micro environment of banking sector has undergone a radical change. Almost all insulations to commercial banking have been peeled off and it has been susceptible to all types of exposures now. ...
The financial status and security inherited from its forerunners no doubt provided a firm and durable platform. But the lofty traditions of banking which the Imperial Bank consistently maintained and the high standard of integrity it observed in its operations inspired confidence in its depositors that no other bank in India could perhaps then equal. All these enabled the Imperial Bank to acquire a pre-eminent position in the Indian banking industry and also secure a vital place in the country’s economic life.
Figure 1.3 Stamp of Imperial Bank of India
When India attained freedom, the Imperial Bank had a capital base (including reserves) of Rs.11.85 crores, deposits and advances of Rs.275.14 crores and Rs.72.94 crores respectively and a network of 172 branches and more than 200 sub offices extending all over the country. In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India was given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the Imperial Bank of India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and were not equipped to respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In order, therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India, and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was accordingly passed in Parliament in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking system thus passed under the direct control of the State.

Later, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries (later named Associates).
The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices inherited from the Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the community’s savings and lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the concept of purposeful banking sub serving the growing and diversified financial needs of planned economic development. The State Bank of India was destined to act as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the
exciting field of national development. The Indian Banking System:
Banking in our country is already witnessing the sea changes as the banking sector seeks new technology and its applications. The best part is that the benefits are beginning to reach the masses. Earlier this domain was the preserve of very few organizations. Foreign banks with heavy investments in technology started giving some “Out of the world” customer services. But, such services were available only to selected few- the very large account holders. Then came the liberalization and with it a multitude of private banks, a large segment of the urban population now requires minimal time and space for its banking needs. Automated teller machines or popularly known as ATM are the three alphabets that have changed the concept of banking like nothing before. Under the Reserve Bank of India Act 1934, banks are classified as scheduled banks and non-scheduled banks. The scheduled banks are those, which are entered in the Second Schedule of RBI Act, 1934. Such banks are those, which have paid- up capital and reserves of an aggregate value of not less than Rs.5 lacks and which satisfy RBI that their affairs are carried out in the interest of their depositors.
All commercial banks Indian and Foreign, regional rural banks and state co-operative banks are Scheduled banks. Non Scheduled banks are those, which have not been included in the Second Schedule of the RBI Act, 1934.The organized banking system in India can be broadly classified into three categories: (i) Commercial Banks (ii) Regional Rural Banks and (iii) Co-operative banks. The Reserve Bank of India is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the country and has the responsibility to control the banking system in the country. It keeps the reserves of all commercial banks and hence is known as the “Reserve Bank”. Current scenario:

Currently (2013), the overall banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and reach – even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and Capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets – as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the
Government With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time especially in its services sector, the demand for banking services especially personal banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. Mergers & Acquisitions., takeovers, are much more in action in India. One of the classical economic functions of the banking industry that has remained virtually unchanged over the centuries is lending. On the one hand, competition has had considerable adverse impact on the margins, which lenders have enjoyed, but on the other hand technology has to some extent reduced the cost of delivery of various products and services. Bank is a financial institution that borrows money from the public and lends money to the public for productive purposes.
The Indian Banking Regulation Act of 1949 defines the term Banking Company as “Any company which transacts banking business in India” and the term banking as “Accepting for the purpose of lending all investment of deposits, of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawal by cheque, draft or otherwise”. Thus Indian banking has come from a long way from being a sleepy business institution to a highly pro-active and dynamic entity. This transformation has been largely brought about by the large dose of liberalization and economic reforms that allowed banks to explore new business opportunities rather than generating revenues from conventional streams (i.e. borrowing and lending).
The banking in India is highly fragmented with 30 banking units contributing to almost 100% of deposits and 60% of advances ABOUT LOGO

Strength/ Opportunities:
The growth for SBI 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 SBI in time to come are as under: • SBI 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 SBI 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.

Limitation of the study
Although the research has reached its aims, but there were some unavoidable limitation.
First, is the sample size because of the time limit, this research was conducted only on a small size of population. Second, is the problem faced in taking appointment from the corporate organization, as my project is of 8 weeks so, it was difficult to get appointments from the HR of the organizations in very less time. Third, one is the access. My study depends on having access to people and organizations that’s why for whatever reason sometime the access was denied or otherwise limited.
Period of the study
The time period of the study is 8 weeks starting from 12th May 2013 and ended at 8th July 2013.

* Observation,
* Conclusion
* Recommendation
Observation
As compare to the other banks the plan of SBI under the CSP is one of the best but because of less number and untrained sales executives the customer goes for other bank for their salary account. Though the Bank has issued detailed guidelines / circulars covering the various Salary packages, the awareness level at the Branches as well as customers are far from satisfactory. Under the circumstances the branches are not able to position the product vis-a-vis other bank’s products. More than 75 % of the people prefer only SBI while taking loan products (especially personal and car loans).
Because of the speedy processing and perceived better customer facilities the general public mainly the high net worth individuals preferred to go to private banks. While taking survey most of the customers suggested bank that the employees behavior should be more customer oriented.
Conclusion
SBI is India’s largest and the world’s fifth largest bank, with more than 100 million customers, 17,000 branches and 31,000 ATMs in India and 40 other countries. In the rural part more than 80% people have their accounts in SBI. As per my research people 30% of people think that the employees of SBI are old minded they didn’t serve their customer in more helpful way. Also few (around 27%) customers questioned on the skills of the employee and they suggested proper training of the employees. The biggest concern is the service, every one compares SBI with its competitors like ICICI, HDFC banks etc. Recommendation:
State bank of India should comprehensively advertise about the product at strategic locations keeping in mind the image of the bank. With more and more people becoming computer literate Internet as a preferential method of placing request for a loan is becoming popular. ICICI has already provided a link at its website through which a customer can submit his request for a PL for online approval. It is of a quite strategic importance to introduce this method of sourcing of the personal loan applications under CSP also. SBI should specifically target the salary accounts of senior executives.
* The lead time of SBI is more than 4 weeks for some products like loans; this should be required to reduce to 1 week. * For the better service new offers would be require.
* The settlement of customer problems should be done faster on SBI customer care. * Before deducting or charging any monetary charge SBI must consult with customer. * A new and attractive scheme should be implemented.
* As per my study most of the existing customers (in corporate level more than 60%) of SBI are moving to other banks. Hence, they should focus on retaining old customers.
