They operate under very turbulent social economic and political environment. They are required to reconcile several incompatible goals. Conflicting roles and divergent interest they are also fraught with the use risk and uncertainties, hence tactful management of such organization to plan to execute guide, coordination and control the performance of people to achieve predetermined goals. Management has to keep the organization vibrant moving and in equilibrium. It has to achieve goal which themselves are changing it is therefore a problem highly complex and ticklish.

The commercial banks and certain variants of NBFCs are among the oldest of the market participants. The FIs, on the other hand, are relatively new entities in the financial market place. Bank of Hindustan, set up in 1870, was the earliest Indian Bank . Banking in India on modern lines started with the establishment of three presidency banks under Presidency Bank's act 1876 i.e. Bank of Calcutta, Bank of Bombay and Bank of Madras. In 1921, all presidency banks were amalgamated to form the Imperial Bank of India. Imperial bank carried out limited central banking functions also prior to establishment of RBI. It engaged in all types of commercial banking business except dealing in foreign exchange. Reserve Bank of India Act was passed in 1934 & Reserve Bank of India (RBI) was constituted as an apex bank without major government ownership. Banking Regulations Act was passed in 1949. This regulation brought Reserve Bank of India under government control. Under the act, RBI got wide ranging powers for supervision & control of banks. The Act also vested licensing powers & the authority to conduct inspections in RBI In 1955, RBI acquired control of the Imperial Bank of India, which was renamed as State Bank of India. In 1959, SBI took over control of eight private banks floated in the erstwhile princely states, making them as its 100% subsidiaries. RBI was empowered in 1960, to force compulsory merger of weak banks with the strong ones. The total number of banks was thus reduced 8 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava from 566 in 1951 to 85 in 1969. In July 1969, government nationalised 14 banks having deposits of Rs.50 crores & above. In 1980, government acquired 6 more banks with deposits of more than Rs.200 crores. Nationalisation of banks was to make them play the role of catalytic agents for economic growth. The Narsimham Committee report suggested wide ranging reforms for the banking sector in 1992 to introduce internationally accepted banking practices. The amendment of Banking Regulation Act in 1993 saw the entry of new private sector banks. Banking Segment in India functions under the umbrella of Reserve Bank of India - the regulatory, central bank. This segment broadly consists of: Commercial; Banks Co-operative Banks Commercial Banks The commercial banking structure in India consists of: • • Scheduled Commercial Banks Unscheduled Banks Scheduled commercial Banks constitute those banks which have been included in the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India(RBI) Act, 1934. RBI in turn includes only those banks in this schedule which satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act. Some co-operative banks are scheduled commercial banks albeit not all co-operative banks are. Being a part of the second schedule confers some benefits to the bank in terms of access to accomodation by RBI during the times of liquidity constraints. At the same time, however, this status also subjects the bank certain conditions and obligation towards the reserve regulations of RBI. This sub sector can broadly be classified into: 1. 9 Public sector Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava 2. 3. Private sector Foreign banks. CO-OPERATIVE BANKS There are two main categories of the co-operative banks. (a) Short term lending oriented co-operative Banks - within this category there are three sub categories of banks viz state co-operative banks, District co-operative banks and Primary Agricultural cooperative societies. (b) Long term lending oriented co-operative Banks - within the second category there are land development banks at three levels state level, district level and village level. The co-operative banking structure in India is divided into following main 5 categories: (Visit us again for details of each category) 1. Primary Urban Co-op Banks: 2.

Availing various types of house loans to suit your individual needs at the lowest rates & easy financing can now fulfill the need for a house of your own. Home loan is not a one-time decision; do review the market periodically before availing them. Today there are unlimited numbers of banks in the 33 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava country wanting to give out Home loans. Given this scenario, it may seem easy getting yourself a loan. But is it really?? Buyers tend to make mistakes while entering into deals, which may not be beneficial for them, so better compare all the variables before signing a loan agreement by different banks. However the loan agreement should be finalized only after reading the terms and conditions carefully. You can apply for a Home loan even before you select your property. The loan amount would be sanctioned or approved for you, based on your repayment capability. Features of house loan: • Purpose: For purchase of house from builder / resale and construction / extension of existing house. • Loan amount: You can avail for Home loans need based depending on your eligibility, income and repayment capacity. • Security: Home loan is a secured loan wherein collateral are required. 34 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava • Loan tenor: The maximum loan tenure is 25 years. Planning to avail a home loan, you must adhere underneath points: Firstly, take your own time and evaluate your expenses and do a market survey about the property buying process. Buying a house, which is way beyond your range, could affect you financially; banks help in financing your dream home via home loans. 1. Eligibility Banks determine your eligibility based on your repayment capacity and discuss about the loan amount up front. The eligibility for acquiring a home loan is augmented by clubbing income of your father/spouse/mother/son, by clearing your outstanding debts, by stretching your loan tenure, Salaried individuals can increase their eligibility by showing their performance linked income or bonus earned. Secondly, Do your own analysis and check the impact of your repayment of home loan on your monthly expenditure, as a thumb rule, it’s recommended to make sure the EMI of your home loan do not exceed more than 50% of your gross monthly income. 2. Interest rates 35 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava An important factor that goes into your EMI calculations is the interest rates, which may vary from bank to bank, so do compare them. Also do a complete and detailed analysis of the various options like the interest rates i.e. fixed and floating rate of interest. Thirdly, if two banks give you the same amount of loan but at different interest rates do your math and work out what's best for you. a) Fixed interest loans Charge an interest, which remains the same through out the tenure of the loan. This means that the consumer is immune to market risk or the possible upward movement in the interest rates. Hence, fixed rate is a good option when the interest rates are expected to move up in the future. b) Floating rate loans A consumer is exposed to market risk and his gain or loss depends on the interest rate condition prevailing in the market. Floating rate is beneficial if the interest rate falls in the future. A floating rate is considered nontransparent and is also known as 'adjustable rate'. Fourthly, if you decide to opt for a fixed rate loan, you can still switch to a floating rate loan in the future and vice versa as and when rates go in your favour and if you do decide to switch, you should take into account the cost of doing so and the interest rate benefits of switching. 36 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava For a given interest rate, loan with a daily or monthly reducing balance is better than an annual reducing balance loan. Interest rates vary depending on the tenure of the loan, the amount of the loan and your personal profile. 3. Insurance covers (an added cost) Also, many banks may insist on getting your home insured to safeguard their interest. There are various kinds of insurance covers available for you. Apart from getting the mandatory ones you should try to get insurance as per your circumstances. You also have a choice of getting insured from another company without any objection from your bank. 4. Other costs The interest rates and EMIs are not the only cost factor. Rs. 1350/ documentation charges and 0.90% + service tax. Processing fees, administration fees, valuation fee, legal fee, is to be paid when you apply for a loan and other fees paid at closing. Make sure you work out as to how much these other costs add up to. So even though the interest rate may be lower, it usually adds up to being expensive. If the EMIs may come out a lot more than what you can afford on a monthly basis; try to redo the math with changes in the tenure and loan amount (if possible). 5. Advance EMI Advanced EMI is the number of equated monthly installments in the form of post dated cheques, paid out in advance at the time of disbursement of loan. 37 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava 6. Document required Most importantly, all deals and offers agreed upon are supported by relevant papers. Self employed and salaried require different documents to support the deal. So make sure you always ask for a letter on the banks letterhead mentioning the likes of, exact rate of interest, processing fees, pre-payment charges along with interest-schedule. Before signing the documents, make sure you recheck all terms and conditions. Do make sure you understand and agree with each of the clauses in the documents. Do not sign any blank documents. Even if it takes you a few hours to fill-up the form, please do so. Do not leave anything for the executive to fill-up. It's always better to get a legal opinion from someone on your loan papers. Do not under any circumstance give any false information. This may amount to fraud and could land you in trouble. 7. Penalties Once you have received the loan do your best to pay it back as quickly as possible. But this early payment might invite a pre-payment clause. Banks make their money off the interest they charge and the sooner you pay back a loan the less money you will have to pay in interest. When it comes 38 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava to Home loans, penalties are binding, like if you chose to pay up your entire money before the tenure, a Pre-payment penalty is charged. So you should know about such penalties beforehand to avoid future misunderstanding between you and the bank. 8. Home loan glossary Confused in the Home Loan jargon?

This has come following complaints from various consumer sections regarding home loans. • It has emphasized on the fact that while giving a home loan, the banks should not tie their loans with their own prime lending rates (PLR) which often results in pro-bank and against consumer interest. • Households should get credit counseling before signing any loan agreement. In such case, banks should give credit counseling to customer before giving a loan. Any non-governmental organization can also give independent credit counseling to small borrowers. 50 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava • Consumers often complain of not receiving benefits of falling interest rates as banks tie their floating rate loans with its PLR and even when rates fall, the banks kept the PLR unchanged. But when interest rates are hiked, the banks increase the benchmark rate, thus making customers pay a higher rate and consequently increase the number of EMIs too. The RBI has asked the banks to mend rules for the same. • Individual borrowers should ask for the exact tenure and EMI while taking a fixed rate loan. The RBI has also resolved to look into all consumer complaints if it is bought to the regulator's notice. • The IRDA (insurance regulator) has powers to take action against banks if a customer feels cheated while buying an insurance product. On its regulatory role, the RBI is trying to maintain a balance between the extent of freedom granted to the banks and the objectives of governance. • RBI has made it mandatory for all banks - including private and foreign banks - to offer a passbook to their customers with the address and telephone number of the nearest branch. 51 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava • Customers have often been harassed by banks' call centers where there is no accountability of the query made. The "do not call" registry has also been flouted by banks as customers are bombarded with unnecessary product offerings. The RBI has directed the Indian Banks' Association to come out with a single "do not call" registry or when a customer adds his name to a single bank registry it should then stop unsolicited calls from all banks. • On rising credit card frauds and wrong statements given by the banks, the RBI has asked the customers to approach the ombudsman to redress their problems. This way the RBI feels would inculcate more consumer friendly practices among Indian banks. 52 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava Choosing the right home loan If you are planning to buy home, you need to know about home loans processes, troubleshooting and how to choose the right home loan for house that falls within your budget.

This areo Banks should improve the quality of their products (Specially Home loan). o Most of the private banks and public banks are much aggressive about home loan than PNB. So, PNB should also be focus and aggressive about its home loan products. o In my project period I notice that many of the hidden costs are accumulate with the services, which are not informed to the customers at the first time, and then customers suffer many of the problems. So, banks should disclose all the fee structure, terms & conditions regarding the product before making sale. o In the bank premises front office executives are not co-operative with the customers. So, higher authority should keep control over theses types of activities. 63 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava o Most the banks believe in large sales force than the quality sales force, which are more competitive. So, banks should improve their quality sales force, which include the competitive sales personnel. Troubleshooting Tips for Would Be Home Buyers Past few years have witnessed a paradigm shift in the scenario for home loan seekers. However, things for the consumers were fairly good till mid-2004. Property prices have been steady and the interest rates were at historic lows. Undoubtedly, the picture has much changed now. Real estate in India is going through its own boom, with property prices going higher and higher as there is no tomorrow. Also, there is no sign that this rise in underlying property prices is going to slow down soon. This has widened the gap between have and have not for a home loan consumer. Though, there has been a great progress in the financial status of different income groups but there are many other hassles along the way to add to the woes of an interested home buyer. With an increase in loan interest rates, it has been noticed that a consumer gives away a major portion of his increased income as the down payment and later as EMI. This is a story with every next typical consumer in a metropolitan city. No wonder that the dream for owning a home is on the verge of turning into a mirage for most middle class. 64 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava So what are the options left with a prospective home loan consumer? • If you are planning to purchase a home for the purpose of your own residence, then don't make your search a wild goose chase by trying and wasting time in the market. If your dream house requires you to hunt a treasure to buy it, you may consider a smaller property in the same area. But, if you are deciding to buy a house with the intention of selling it for quick profits, then never fasten the process. Wait for the overheated property market to cool. Meanwhile, work out your budget and advantages before treating the property as an investment. • • Let's view the top four problems faced by home loan consumers during the pre-disbursement process as well as troubleshooting tips: Problem I: Most times, the desired home loan amount is not available or if available, then getting a fixed rate of interest is just like striving for impossible. Moreover, there are a few financial institutions that provide the home loan consumers with a promising interest rate. - Get a promise that if you don't receive the home loan amount offered you can press for a refund of your processing fee. Don't rely on words but take it in writing or by mail. Problem II: Generally, there is no guarantee that you will get your processing fee back if the loan is not sanctioned or if the loan is sanctioned then the individual does not want it. -The situation seems a little complex unless promised in writing or in advance. 65 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava Problem III: At times, loan amount gets restricted after being sanctioned due to lower valuation of the property by the bank. - You may ask your lender to get a valuation done before the sanction of the loan so that this does not come as a surprise afterwards. Else, the bank will evaluate it at one figure and you will be purchasing it at another. For that reason, it is always recommend buying a property from a well known builder. Problem IV: Non availability of title documents and/ or NOCs in the format desired by the bank. Or, problems with any other legal/ title document. - Most banks go through your legal documents with a discerning eye if they are submitted along with a home loan application form. You are required to check with the concerned builder/ society/ authority about the format of the NOC that plays a critical role in the procedure. If they have a different format, get that cleared from the bank to avoid messy disputes and headaches later. 66 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava 67 Prepared by: Prashant Srivastava BIBLIOGRAPHY BANKING LAW AND PRACTICE INDIAN CASES IN MARKETING --- P.N.
