INTRODUCTION TO SBI:
The bank descends from the Bank of Calcutta, founded in 1806, via the Imperial
Bank of India, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian subcontinent.
The Bank of Madras merged into the other two "presidency banks" in British
India, the Bank of Calcutta and the Bank of Bombay, to form the Imperial Bank
of India, which in turn became the State Bank of India in 1955. The Government
of India took control of the Imperial Bank of India in 1955, with Reserve Bank of
India (India's central bank) taking a 60% stake, renaming it the State Bank of
India.
HISTORY OF SBI:
The roots of the State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century when
the Bank of Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June
1806. The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being
the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras
(incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as
joint stock companies and were the result of royal charters. These three banks
received the exclusive right to issue paper currency till 1861 when, with the Paper
Currency Act, the right was taken over by the Government of India. The
1
Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the reorganised banking
entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India
remained a joint stock company but without Government
participation.
Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve
Bank of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the
Imperial Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the
State Bank of India. In 2008, the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank
of India's stake in SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is
the country's banking regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act.
This made eight banks that had belonged to princely states into subsidiaries of
SBI. This was at the time of the first Five Year Plan, which prioritised the
development of rural India. The government integrated these banks into the State
Bank of India system to expand its rural outreach. In 1963 SBI merged State Bank
of Jaipur (est. 1943) and State Bank of Bikaner (est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est.
1911), which SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year
SBI acquired National Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five
years later, in 1975, SBI acquired Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been
established in 1916 in Gwalior State, under the patronage of Maharaja Madho
Rao Scindia. The bank had been the Dukan Pichadi, a small moneylender, owned
by the Maharaja. The new bank's first manager was Jall N. Broacha, a Parsi. In
1985, SBI acquired the Bank of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI
was the acquirer as its affiliate, the State Bank of Travancore, already had an
extensive network in Kerala.
2
There was, even before it actually happened, a proposal to merge all the associate
banks into SBI to create a single very large bank and streamline operations.
The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of
Saurashtra merged with SBI, reducing the number of associate state banks from
seven to six. On 19 June 2009, the SBI board approved the absorption of State
Bank of Indore, in which SBI held 98.3%. (Individuals who held the shares prior
to its takeover by the government held the balance of 1.7%.)
The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing
network of branches. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets approached
₹10 trillion. The total assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore were ₹9,981,190
million as of March 2009. The process of merging of State Bank of Indore was
completed by April 2010, and the SBIndore branches started functioning as SBI
branches on 26 August 2010.
OPERATIONS OF SBI:
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
16 regional hubs and 57 zonal offices that are located at important cities
throughout India.
Domestic presence:
3
SBI has over 24000 branches in India. In the financial year 2012–13, its revenue
was ₹2.005 trillion (US$28 billion), out of which domestic operations contributed
to 95.35% of revenue. Similarly, domestic operations contributed to 88.37% of
total profits for the same financial year.
Under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana of financial inclusion launched by
Government in August 2014, SBI held 11,300 camps and opened over 3 million
accounts by September, which included 2.1 million accounts in rural areas and
1.57 million accounts in urban areas.
International presence:
As of 2014–15, the bank had 191 overseas offices spread over 36 countries having
the largest presence in foreign markets among Indian banks.
In 1982, the bank established a subsidiary, State Bank of India, which now has ten
branches—nine branches in the state of California and one in Washington, D.C.
4
The 10th branch was opened in Fremont, California on 28 March 2011. The other
eight branches in California are located in Los Angeles, Artesia, San Jose, Canoga
Park, Fresno, San Diego, Tustin and Bakersfield.
In Nigeria, SBI operates as INMB Bank. This bank began in 1981 as the Indo–
Nigerian Merchant Bank and received permission in 2002 to commence
retail banking. It now has five branches in Nigeria.
In Nepal, SBI owns 55% of "Nepal SBI Bank Limited". (The state-owned
Employees Provident Fund of Nepal owns 15% and the general public owns the
remaining 30%.) Nepal SBI Bank Limited has branches throughout the country.
In Moscow, SBI owns 60% of Commercial Bank of India, with Canara Bank
owning the rest.
The State Bank of India already has a branch in Shanghai and plans to open one
in Tianji.
In Kenya, State Bank of India owns 76% of Giro Commercial Bank, which it
acquired for US$8 million in October 2005.
In January 2016, SBI opened its first branch in Seoul, South Korea.
SBI acquired the control of seven banks in 1960. They were the seven regional
banks of former Indian princely states. They were renamed, prefixing them with
'State Bank of'. These seven banks were State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur
(SBBJ), State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH), State Bank of Indore (SBN), State Bank
of Mysore (SBM), State Bank of Patiala (SBP), State Bank of Saurashtra (SBS)
and State Bank of Travancore (SBT). All these banks were given the same logo as
the parent bank, SBI. The State Bank of India and all its associate banks used the
same blue Keyhole logo. The State Bank of India wordmark usually had one
5
standard typeface, but also utilized other typefaces. The wordmark now has the
keyhole logo followed by "SBI".
The plans for making SBI a single very large bank by merging the associate banks
started in 2008, and in September the same year, SBS merged with SBI.
The very next year, State Bank of Indore (SBN) also merged.
On 15 February 2017, the Union Cabinet approved the merger of five associate
banks with SBI. An analyst foresaw an initial negative impact as a result of
different pension liability provisions and accounting policies for bad loans.
Non-banking subsidiaries:
Apart from five of its associate banks (merged with SBI since 1 April 2017), SBI's
non-banking subsidiaries include:
In March 2001, SBI (with 74% of the total capital), joined with BNP Paribas (with
26% of the remaining capital), to form a joint venture life insurance company
named SBI Life Insurance company Ltd.

The State Bank of India offers Gold Loans of up to Rs.20 lakhs to its existing
customers against their gold valuables. So anyone having gold assets which are
laying idle can pledge these assets to avail ready cash for meeting any kind of
business or personal needs for which the individual is facing a cash shortage. SBI
Gold Loan is a multi-purpose loan which can be used for several of
requirements. The only prohibitive use of the loan is in speculative purposes or
illegal acts. The loan amount can also be used for personal expenses like marriage,
education of child, building a property, going on a leisurely vacation, etc.

sold to anybody else.
o Loan can be availed for a maximum amount of Rs.20 lakhs. The minimum
amount of loan which can be availed is Rs.10,000 in rural and semi-urban
areas and Rs.20,000 for metros and urban areas. So the applicant can

o Gold ornaments or jewelry are to be pledged to the bank for availing the
loan. Gold coins issued by SBI can also be pledged to avail a loan under
this scheme

o The rate of interest charged on the loan is low which can suit the pockets
of the borrowers when they are making the payment of the loan
instalment.

applicant ends up receiving 75% of the value of his gold pledged with the
bank while the remaining 25% is retained by the bank as margin.
o The maximum tenure for repaying the loan instalments is 30 months for
demand loan and 36 months for overdraft. The instalment payment would
commence one month post the date the disbursement of the loan is made

the period or repayment cannot exceed 2.5 years and the loan has to be
repaid within 30 months or 36 months depending on loan type.

includes bank employees and Pensioners.
Using the Gold Loan EMI calculator facility, an individual, if he desires, can check
the tentative amount he is required to pay as installment for his gold loan.
22
The calculator calculates the corresponding EMI against the value of the loan
sought and the repayment term chosen by the customer. This makes the borrower
aware of his instalment outgo which he can adjust as per his affordability. Below
are some instances of the instalments calculated using the calculator
o Mr. B, a small time businesswoman working out of her home, faces a cash
requirement of Rs.5 lakhs for meeting a large order received by her. She
decides on a gold loan pledging her gold ornaments in the process. She
chooses the repayment tenure of 18 months for the amount of loan she
requires and the bank charges her an EMI of Rs.30,608. Within these 18
months, she completes the loan repayment paying a total of Rs.50,931 in
interest.
o Mr. C requires working capital for his paper mill business. His
requirement is Rs.10 lakhs and he has sufficient gold assets which can be
pledged for availing the loan. He chooses the term of 20 months for
repayment as he feels he would be able to afford the EMI relevant to such
a long tenure. The bank accepts his application and grants him the
required loan charging him an EMI of Rs.55648 in the process. Mr. C
chose the maximum allowable tenure beyond which repayment is not
allowed. For his total loan, he paid a total interest of Rs.112,962 to the
bank.

FINDINGS AND SSUGGESTIONS :
As per the analysis it is seen that most of the customers are aware of the services
provided by State Bank of India and most people make use of most of the services.
There are many services which are not known to the customers and the State Bank
of India must take measures so that their customers can make use of most of the
services provided by them.
I would suggest the management of SBI to consider the findings and take necessary
steps for further research and if they think that the customers of SBI are
homogeneous in their choice and preference they may consider the following
recommendations to improve their services and gain more customers and also
maintain the existing customers delights:
• As per the data received it is seen that most the people have choose SBI as
their bank just by chance, so awareness should made via different means
of communication so that people select this bank for the quality of the
services they provide.
75
• Also as per the data most of the people come to know about new and
existing services through advertisements , therefore banking staff and
other means should also be used so that the word spreads much faster.
• As per the data almost 90% of the customers use the Savings Account
services and hardly some use Current Account Services, less than 2%
customers use De-Mat Account or Loan Account. The customers must
know about the features of this services awareness about it must be made.
Banks should continuously assess and reassess how customers perceive bank’s
services so as to know whether the bank meets or exceeds or is below the
expectations of their customers. Such an appraisal, however is a tedious task
because customer service is complexion nature and dynamic in action.
