Chapter-1 introduction
1.1 Profile/Organization Company: HDFC Bank Ltd is one of India's premier banks.
The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the
first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set

Industry in 1994. The bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC
Bank Limited', with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank
commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.
DIGTALISATION
The Bank was the first Bank to launch an International Debit Card in
association with VISA (Visa Electron) and issues the MasterCard Maestro debit
card as well. Also they became the first private sector bank to be authorized by
the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) as well as the RBI to accept direct
taxes. The Bank is well positioned as a leader in various net based B2C opportunities
including a wide range of internet banking services for Fixed Deposits, Loans, Bill
Payments, etc. In the year 2014 HDFC Bank lunched the missed call banking service
allowing customers to use banking services without having to visit the Bank or
connect online. On 16 June 2015 HDFC Bank launched the 10-second personal loan
approval service thereby becoming the first in the retail lending space to fully
automate the process of loan approval and disbursement. In 2016 HDFC Bank
introduced loans at ATMs as the country's first innovation to turn ATMs into Loan
Dispensing Machines (LDMs) further extending the functionality of the Bank's
ATMs.
