I had the opportunity not only to meet corporate clients but also to meet retail customers. I learnt about the practical problems and issues faced by customers as well as that of my colleagues resolving them.

Also, interacted and learnt about the cross products offered to customers such as Life Insurance, General Insurance and Mutual Funds. At the commercial part of banking, I learnt various operations the CIBD operations such as trade remittances, general commercial banking operations, bank guarantee, letter of credit and imports exports transactions.

Ideas for implementation
* Use of cloud concept for better operational efficiency – Creating a space like google doc to enable employees to create documents like an excel sheet keep an update of various cases. This can be synchronously accesses with various access controls. For example if an excel sheet be maintained containing all the cases handled by the CIBD, Vashi with the inverd time, person working on the cases, other details like track number, amount and status. It would be easier for anyone to track the status of all the cases at once. Also since this document would be on cloud; the document can be accessed from anywhere. This would decrease dependency for status and information of cases and also provide better monitoring and thus, reduce slippages for various transactions. * MIS dash board – An integrated dash board to be created with live feed from finacle, tradefactory and other application. The various control reports published as a report via mail also be incorporated in the dash board.
The Business plan on Grocery Gateway: Customer Delivery Operations

This would allow all the information to seen at one place. This would give a better and holistic view of the various activities and thus better monitoring and more educated decision can be taken. This dash board can be also accessed by senior management with holistic view of PAN India and layered detailed information. * Decentralization of SWIT massage making for inquires response – The making of SWIT massage for inquires responses could be decentralized and checking of such massages still can be done by GTSU centrally. This would reduce the TAT considerably. * Modification in finacle for RTGS and NEFT – at time of adding transaction for a RTGS or NEFT , account number is entered. Using this account detail another window should automatically open contacting the authorized signature images and effective total balance. This would reduce the time required to make an RTGS and NEFT transactions considerably. * Creation of parallel SWIFT for transactions with in India – A request can be made to RBI for taking lead in making a communication channel between banks like that of SWIFT. This would provide a secure channel of operation between banks.
Hence, reduce fraud and TAT considerably for interbank transactions. * Improvement of response time of application such as finacle – This may be achieved by improving network bandwidth at branches and scaling the application database and servers. * Creating and using MIS for better managing counters – An MIS to be created for the queue count at various counters. Based on the trend, a proactive allocation of number of counters for specific activity can be increased or decreased for example during 1100hrs to 1400hrs more cash counters can be made available to customers and customers should be diverted accordingly.
* Better utilization of ATM Machines – ATM Machines downtime should be reduced; also lobby manager should educated and diverted customers for activities such as check book request, mobile registration and updation, fund transfer, FD creation. Moreover, Kiosk machines should be installed educating and allowing customers to use internet banking, open account. * DD Printing at CIBD Branch and Retail Branch – DD printer needs to be installed at CIBD branch because the same is getting printed at retail branch. This may lead to fraud. In the retail branch, DD printer needs to be installed nearer to the DD maker. Also, the additional DD printer will reduce dependency on the only DD printer present.
