ICICI Lombard is known to be a pioneer in introducing innovative concepts in the Indian health Insurance sector. Be it the floater concept, the critical illness cover or the tax gain policy, all these were first introduced by ICICI Lombard. It was also one of the first general insurance companies in India to have a robust online system in place for buying and renewing policies. The various plans offered by ICICI Lombard Lombard include Family Floater Plan - where one policy covers the entire family, Health Advantage Plus - where they cover OPD and dental expenses, also help save maximum tax under section 80D and Critical Illness plan - a special policy covering a list of critical illnesses. They also have a basic Personal Accident Plan which covers against accidents. ICICI Lombard health plans also provide coverage against terrorism. Home Insurance
Home Insurance is actually one of the most neglected areas in the general insurance category. Simply, because people in general, especially in India, do not give much importance to it. However, in the recent years, due to the increase in awareness, and the great extent of damage caused to property due to natural calamities and terrorism, it has been gaining importance. The Hom Homee Insu Insuranc rancee Pol Policy icyoffered offered by ICICI Lombard covers both the structure and the contents of the house. You can opt for either of the covers or both. Unlike other policies, it also also covers covers damage damage due to terro terroris ristt acti activit vitie ies, s, loss loss of cash, cash, publi publicc liabi liabilit lity, y, tempor temporary ary resettlement and others. Motor Insurance
As Motor Insurance is mandatory in India and is governed by the Motor Tariff Act, the policies policies offered by various companies are more or less the same. There is not much room for innov innovat atio ion n in this this catego category ry.. ICIC ICICII Lo Lomb mbar ard d too too offer offerss Car Insu Insuranc rancee and Two Whe Wheele eler r Insurance.. They are known to offer one of the best rates in the market.

STRENGHTS
1) Online Services : ICICI Bank provides online services of all it’s banking facilities. It also provides D-Mart account facilities on-line, so a person can access his account from anywhere he is. [D-Mart is a dematerialized account opened by a salaried person
for purchase &
sale of shares of different companies.]
2) Advanced Infrastructure Infrastructure : Branches of ICICI Bank are well equipped with advanced technology to provide the customers with taster banking services. All the computerized machines are located in suitable manner & are very useful to the customers & staff of the bank.
3) Friendly Staff: The staff of ICICI Bank in all branches is very friendly & help the customers in all cases. They provide faster services along with bonding & personal relationship with the customers.
4) 12 hrs. Banking services: Compared to other bank ICICI bank provides long hrs. of services i.e. 8-8 services to the customers. This service is one of it’s kind & is very helpful for the customers who are in urgent need of money.
5) Other Facilities to the Customers & Employees: ICICI Bank also provides other facilities like drinking water facilities, proper sitting arrangements to the customers. And there are also proper Ventilation & sanitary facilities for the employees of the bank.
6) Late night ATM services: ICICI bank provides late night ATM services to the customers. The ATM centers of ICICI bank works even after 11:00pm. at night in certain branches.
Weakness
1) High Bank Service Charges: ICICI bank charges highly to customers for the services services provided by them when compared to other bank & that is why it is only in the reach of higher class of society.
2) Less Credit Period: ICICI bank provides credit facilities but only upto
limited period.
Even when the credit period is not over it sends reminder letters to the customers which may annoy them.
OPPORTUNITIES
1) Bank –Insurance services: The bank should also provide insurance services. That means the bank can have a tie-up with a insurance company. The bank will advertise & promote the different policies introduced by the insurance company & convince their customers to buy insurance policies.
2) Increase in percentage of Returns on increase: The bank should provide higher returns on deposits in comparison of the present situation. This will also upto large extent help the bank earn profits & popularity.
3) Recruit professionally guided students: Bank & Insurance is a special non-aid course where the students specialize in the functioning & services of the bank & also are knowledge about various tax policies. The bank can recruit these students through tie-ups with colleges. Such students will surely prove as an asset to the bank.
4) Associate with social cause: The bank can also associate itself with social causes like providing relief aid patients, funding towards natural calamities. But this falls in the 4th quadrant so the bank should neglect it.
THREATS 1) Competition: ICICI Bank is facing tight competition locally as well as internationally. Bank like CITI Bank, HSBC, ABM, Standered Chartered, HDFC also provide equivalent facilities like ICICI do and also ICICI do not have consistency in its international operation.
2) Net Services: ICICI Bank provides all kind of services on-line. There can be easy access to the e-mail ids of the customers through wrong people. The confidential information of the customers can be leaked easily through the e-mail ids.
3) Decentralized Management: Each branch manager is given the authority of taking decisions in their respective branches. The decisions made by different managers are diverse and any one wrong decision can laid to heavy losses to the bank.
4) No Proper Facilities to Uneducated customers: ICICI Bank provides all services through electronic computerized machines. This creates problems to the less educated people. But this threat falls in the 4th quadrant so its negligible. The company can avoid this threat.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Data Collection Techniques:
This project consists of two parts. The first part is a study of the banking industry, ICICI Bank using secondary data sources. This secondary information has been sourced from the internet and from business related magazines and newspapers. The second part of the study has been done using an exploratory research process and a structured questionnaire was developed for this purpose. For the collection of primary data this was the only method used. The reason I used this method is because a need was felt for the free influx of information about the products. Also this method allowed the use of skills gained in class. Sample Design:
The population population considered for the purpose of the survey was people residing in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). Sampling Technique Used:
Since the information required was not of a very technical nature and also looking at the scope of the project and the extent of the target segment, the sampling technique employed was Convenience Sampling. I administered the questionnaires.
Sample Size:
I have restricted the sample size to 50 respondents. This was done keeping in mind the time constraints and the fact that I felt that this number would be enough to serve the information needs required to show the trends.
Customer Satisfaction:
Customer satisfaction is equivalent to making sure that product and service performance meets customer expectations. It is the perception of the customer that the outcome of a business transaction is equal to or greater than his/her expectation. Customer satisfaction occurs occurs when the acquisit acquisition ion of products products and /or services services provides provides a minimu minimum m negativ negativee departure from expectations when compared with other acquisitions and when the marginal utility
of
a
transaction
is
equal
to
or
greater
than
preceding
acquisitions.
Customer satisfaction occurs when the perception of the reward from the purchase of goods or services by the customer meets or exceeds his/her perceived sacrifice. The perception is a conse conseque quence nce of matc matchin hing g past past purcha purchase se and and consu consump mpti tion on exper experien ience ce with with the the curren currentt purchase.
Customer Service and Satisfaction:
When we talk about customer service and/or satisfaction, satisfaction, we talk about creativity. Creativity Creativity allows us to handle or diffuse problems problems at hand or later on rather in the process of conducting the everyday business. We talk about how, or what, does the organization have to do to gain not only the sale but also the loyalty of the customer. We want to know the payoff of the transaction transaction both in the short and long term. We want to know what our customers customers Want? We want to know if our customers are satisfied. Satisfaction, Of course, means that what we delivered to a customer met the customer’s Approval. We want to know if customers are delighted and willing to come Back, and so on. Fleiss 2 and Feldman 3 present examples of that delightfulness in their writings. Fleiss has written about Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Feldman has discussed excellence in a cab ride. As important as delightfulness is, some of us minimize it, or even totally disregard it. At this point, we fail. Some of the issues that will guarantee failure in sales, satisfaction, and loyalty are:
•
Employees must adhere to a rigid chain of command
•
Employees are closely supervised
•
Rewards are based on carrot-and-stick principles
•
Wrong objectives are measure.
We must must und unders ersta tand nd custom customer er expec expectat tatio ion n level levelss concer concerni ning ng quali quality ty.. We must must also also unders und ersta tand nd the the strat strategy egy for for custo custome merr servic servicee quali quality ty,, and next next we must must und under ersta stand nd the measurement and feedback cycles of Customer satisfaction. The customer is the person or unit receiving the output of a process on the system. In fact, it is worth emphasizing emphasizing that a customer customer can be the immediate, intermediate, intermediate, or ultimate ultimate customer. Also Also,, a cust custom omer er may may be a pers person on or pers person ons, s, or a proc proces esss or proc proces esse ses. s. Cust Custom omer er satisfaction, however, is when the customer is satisfied with a product/service that meets the customer’s needs, wants, and expectations. There are at least three levels of customer expectations about quality:
Expectations are very simple and take the form of assumptions, assumptions, must have, or take it Level 1. Expectations for granted. For example, I expect the airline to be able to take off, fly to my destination, destination, and land safely. I expect to get the correct blood for my blood transfusion and I expect the bank to deposit my money to my account and to keep a correct tally for me. Level 2. Expectations are a step higher than that of level 1 and they require some form of
satisfaction satisfaction through meeting the requirements requirements and/or specifications. For example, I expect to be treated courteously by all airline personnel. I went to the hospital expecting to have my hernia repaired, to be in some pain after it was done, to be out on the same day, and to receive a correct bill. And I went to the bank expecting the bank teller to be friendly, informative, and helpful with my transactions. Expectations are much higher than for levels 1 and 2. Level 3 requires some kind of Level 3 . Expectations delightfulness or a service that is so good that it attracts me to it . For example, an airline gives
passengers traveling coach class the same superior food service that other airlines provide only for first-class passengers. passengers. In fact, I once took a flight where the flight attendants actually actually
cookies for us right there on the plane. When I went to the hospital, I expected staff to treat me with respect and they carefully explained things to me. But I was surprised when they called me at home the next day to find out how I was doing. And at my house closing, the bank officer, representing the bank holding my mortgage, not only treated me with respect and answered all my questions about my new mortgage, but just before we shook hands to close the deal, he gave me a housewarming gift.

COMPARISON OF ICICI WITH SBI

ICICI bank is bank is the largest private sector bank in India and the second largest commercial bank in India. India. It has branches all over India and even in smaller towns in South India after the takeover takeover of Bank of Madurai. The bank also has foreign subsidiaries like ICICI bank, Canada in Canada, Britain and Russia ,representative offices in USA, China, UAE, Bangladesh, South Africa and branches in Bahrain, Singapore . •
It offers a platform for online share trading through ICICI Direct and insurance services ICICI Prudential. NRI services include money transfer through Money2India, which o ffer better foreign exchange rates for lower amounts compared to other services.
•
Like most private sector banks, all ICICI bank branches in India are networked. You can access your account from any ICICI bank branch in India. Anyone can also deposit cash/local cheque in your account at any branch of ICICI bank.

Also they have very convenient bank timings timings and are open for 12 hours from 8.00 a.m to 8 p.m from Monday to Saturday. When you deposit a cheque at their branch, they will readily give you a stamped acknowledgement for deposit. You can only deposit cash in your own account at the ATM, for depositing cash into a third party account, you have to visit the branch. You have to select the deposit cash option, you will get an envelope for depositing cash, which you can then fill in the details and deposit it back. At locations where ICICI bank does not have a branch, the queue at the ATMs is very long. Just after office office hours , between 6 pm - 7.30 pm, customers customers sometimes sometimes have to wait for 15-20 minutes on some days, to access the ATM.
•
Since ICICI bank was established after 1991 it offers online banking where you can check the balance in your account any time. The interface for savings accounts is much better and user friendly compared to that for their roaming current account
•
However, However, unlike other banks like HDFC bank, their online online bank statement does not indicate the branch at which the amount is deposited. The information is available in the email statement sent to you the next day. You have to contact phone banking, enter CRN Page | 95

and TPIN, during working hours to get this information. Very often, the system is slow, so you have to hold on for 10 minutes. •
For savings account, up to 3 cash deposits per quarter (3 months) at the non base branch can be made at no cost. For additional cash deposits, the bank charges the recipient Rs 100 (+ service tax) per deposit, irrespective of the amount deposited. When the bank implemented this change, the ICICI bank customers were not informed about the revision in the charges. For outstation cheques, ICICI bank charges a minimum of Rs 30 (+ service tax) for savings accounts . This is very inconvenient for account holders in small towns, who receive the dividend warrant payable in major cities only. These warrants can be for small amounts like Rs 20. For salary accounts, the minimum AQB required is zero and you retain the account even after you leave the job. If your AQB is more than Rs 100000, you get a free at par chequebook. For an AQB of more than Rs 500000 (fixed deposit + savings account balance), you are eligible for private banking services. For non maintenance of average quarterly balance, not only do they deduct Rs 750 from your balance, they also deduct an additional service tax.
•
Many of the ICICI bank customers are salary account holders, who are forced by their employers to open an account with ICICI bank to receive their salary. The account is opened at a branch which is convenient for the employer, but extremely inconvenient for the employee. If want any clarification or information, their customer support (through phone banking or email) will instruct you visit the nearest branch - where the concerned person may or may not be available. For savings account customers customers if you send an email asking for clarifications, it is usually answered after a week.
•
They have discontinued the auto sweep-in facility (earlier called Quantum Optima), where the amount in savings accounts was automatically converted into a fixed deposit, if it exceeded Rs 15000. With the the decline in interest rates for loans, providing this facility facility is no longer profitable for the bank. You now have to give an application at the branch if Page | 96
Ankur PGDM
you wish to continue with this facility now. The form for making the application was sent along with the monthly bank statement. You can alternately open a recurring deposit, where a fixed amount is added adde d to your fixed deposit every month. •
Making a new Fixed Deposit with ICICI bank for current accounts is extremely time consuming, especially when compared to HDFC bank. They will insist that you withdraw cash from your account for making the FD. Since withdrawals of amounts more than Rs 25000 are subject to cash withdrawal tax, for larger amounts , you will have to split the fixed deposit and visit the branch on 2 different days. ICICI bank is probably the only bank in India where they will not accept a ICICI bank cheque for making a fixed deposit. We had given a cheque with the fixed deposit form , but the bank officer insisted that we pay cash. She said she would fill the form for us, but she did not select the options which were initially indicated, causing further problems for us.
