EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Indian retail finance market has witnessed a sea change during the last few years. Earlier,
Indians were averse to the concept of availing credit to fund their purchases and believed in the
concept of saving and then spending. However, today, there are a variety of consumer credit
products being literally forced upon consumers by overzealous lenders, who have realized the
huge latent potential of the burgeoning Indian consumers. This has gradually led to a shift in the
psychology of Indian consumers, who no longer consider credit as a social stigma and are more
than willing to fulfill their aspirations through the credit mechanism.
Until 10 years ago, mainly non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) and housing finance
companies (HFCs) catered to the nascent Indian retail finance market, while commercial banks
focused on corporate lending. Commercial banks, instead of lending to retail consumers
directly, would provide funds to NBFCs and HFCs, which, in turn, would lend to retail
consumers. The mid ‘90s saw several NBFCs mushrooming to exploit the huge potential of this
market. As competition intensified, many NBFCs, in order to capture a share of this retail market
pie, ignored the risks associated with the retail lending business and landed up burning their
fingers. Consequently, the late ‘90s and early 2000 witnessed a number of NBFCs either
shutting shop or curtailing their operations.
This report focuses on the retail asset finance market, which comprises mainly loans for
housing, cars and utility vehicles (auto finance), commercial vehicles and two-wheelers. The
retail asset finance market has grown between 1998-99 and 2003-04 at an annualized rate of
35 per cent (disbursements). The high growth rate between 1998-99 and 2003-04 can be
attributed to the fact that 5 years ago, the retail finance market was in its infancy, with few
people availing credit to fund their purchases. Going forward, CRIS INFAC expects the retail
finance market to grow at an annual rate of 18 per cent, from Rs 1,213 billion in 2003-04 to Rs
2,792 billion in 2008-09.

RETAIL BANKING
Retail banking is quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of commercial banks with
individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of the balance sheet. Fixed, current /
savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal, housing, auto, and
educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the products offered by banks.
Related ancillary services include credit cards, or depository services. Today’s retail banking
sector is characterized by three basic characteristics:
2• Multiple channels of distribution (call centre, branch, Internet and kiosk); and

Cumulative Deposit Scheme
This scheme is a household savings plan. It encourages small investors to save by easy
monthly installments over a fixed period.
Account can be opened for any period ranging from 6 months to 120 months, in intervals
of 3 months.
Number of installments once selected, cannot be altered. However, in case the monthly
installment is to be discontinued for any reason, the account holder can convert the
amount of installments already paid, into Fixed or Reinvestment Deposit for a period
longer than the remaining period of the Cumulative account. For the period the
cumulative account has run, compound interest at the applicable rate is payable.
The maturity amount will be paid one month after the deposit of the last installment
(latest table giving maturity values available with the branch).
33
Deposit Reinvestment Certificate
This is an ideal scheme for investing a lump sum amount where interest is compounded
quarterly and paid along with the principal amount invested.
Deposits can be made for any period from 6 months to 120 months. Deposits can be accepted
even for odd periods like 37 months, 65 months and 6 days, etc.
Interest at applicable rate for the period for which the deposit is kept, is automatically reinvested
at quarterly intervals.
Interest being compounded, the amount invested multiplies and matures into attractive lump
sum. The amount invested doubles over a period of time. (Latest maturity value table available
with the branch).
As the name of the scheme denotes, interest is payable at the contracted rate every month, on
the fixed deposit which is accepted for any period from one year to ten years.
Interest is paid monthly at the discounted value (latest table for Monthly Income Scheme is
available with the branch).

account or a current account. The minimum period for a fixed deposit is 12
months and the maximum period normally is 10 years. The interest rate on
this deposit is governed by RBI guidelines and at present term deposit

Rs.500/= for accounts without cheque book and Rs.1,000/= for accounts
with cheque book. Interest earned under this scheme is exempt from Indian

currency are freely allowed. Permission of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

Under present NRE deposit scheme, if an NRI needs funds, he has the
following options:
1 • To raise a loan against pledge of deposit @ 2% ODR or at interest
rate stipulated from time to time.
2 • To close the deposit before maturity.
3 • Premature closure of deposit entails loss of interest on the entire
deposit. If the deposit has not run for minimum maturity period of 12
months, no interest is payable on the entire deposit.
4 • If deposit has run for a period of 12 months or more, the NRI
depositor is entitled to interest at the rate applicable for the period
the deposit has actually run, subject to penalty of 0.25%.
Both the above options involve a cost to the depositor either in the form of
interest payable on loan or loss of interest on deposit. To mitigate these
difficulties, Unfixed Deposit Scheme was introduced, which facilitates
withdrawal in units of deposits without affecting interest due on subsisting
(continuing) deposit.

UNION Bank has strong banking operations. They believe in customer satisfaction in every
possible way. They are focused on quality of products and services rather than quantity of
products and services. They have a strong banking solution such as FINACLE which was
developed by Infosys. The bank is rapidly growing. They have a aggressive marketing strategy.
The bank provides speedy way of services to its customer with satisfaction. The quality policy of
the bank is “The branch is committed to the bank of first choice is commercial banking with
lasting customer relationship through continual improvement in service. The Five S plan really
helps in the operation of the organization.
There is a need of constant innovation in retail banking. In bracing for tomorrow, a paradigm
shift in bank financing through innovative products and mechanisms involving constant
upgradation and revalidation of the banks’ internal systems and processes is called for. Banks
now need to use retail as a growth trigger. This requires product development and
differentiation, innovation and business process reengineering, micro-planning, marketing,
prudent pricing, customization, technological Upgradation, home / electronic / mobile banking,
cost reduction and cross-selling.
While retail banking offers phenomenal opportunities for growth, the challenges are equally
daunting. How far the retail banking is able to lead growth of the banking industry in future
would depend upon the capacity building of the banks to meet the challenges and make use of
the opportunities profitably. However, the kind of technology used and the efficiency of
operations would provide the much needed competitive edge for success in retail banking
business. Furthermore, in all these customers’ interest is of paramount importance. The banking
sector in India is demonstrating this and I do hope they would continue to chart in this traded
path.
