Banking Regulation Act, 1949 The banking regulation act, 1949 was landmark legislation. The act conferred wide range of powers to RBI relating to supervision and control over banking in India, establishment of banks, mergers and amalgamation and maintenance of certain operating standards for banks. The act vested licensing powers for opening branches. The act also gave the authority to conduct inspection of banks, thus enabling it to make qualitative assessment of the management is including the method of business from the viewpoint of depositors. The banking regulation act thus provided the framework for RBI supervision of banks. Standards for evaluating bank performance were drawn on the basis of the working of the well managed banks, which many small banks could not meet. This led to growth of banks.

Nationalization of major banks


The year 1969 was the turning point in the history of Indian banking ins\dusty. In July 1969, the government nationalized 14 major banks. It was felt by the government that it was necessary to acquire the ownership of banks to achieve the objectives of social control and enable the banks to play a more effective role as a catalyst for economic growth. The objective and reason accompanying bank system nationalization act 1969 started and institution such as the banking system which touches the lives of millions has to be inspired by large social purpose and has to serve national priorities and objectives such as rapid growth of agriculture, small scale industries and export, raising of employment levels, encouragement of new entrepreneurs and the development of the backward areas. For this purpose it was necessary for the government to take direct responsibility for extension and diversification of banking services and for the working of substantial part of the bank.

FIGURE1.1 CLASSIFICATION OF BANKS

Types of bank

Commercial bank

Cooperative Bank

Scheduled bank

Non- Scheduled banks

Commercial banks are of two types scheduled and non- scheduled of the RBI act, 1930. These banks satisfy the criteria laid down under section 42(6) of the act that they should have minimum required capital and their activities should not be detained to the interest of the depositors. The scheduled banks are required to maintain cash reserve equal to minimum of 3%of the demand and time liabilities which can go up to maximum of 15%under section 42(1) of the RBI act. These banks also enjoy certain privileges, as for example they can approach RBI for financial assistance under section 17 of the RBI for financial assistance under section 17 of the RBI act. Non scheduled banks were in large number earlier but their number drastically reduced as a result of take over validations and also in some cases up gradation into the scheduled bank category.

Privatization of banks
The decision to nationalize banks in July 1969 was made to prevent unfair competition and concentration of economic power with the industrial houses. But unfortunately, with the passage of time it was seen that public sector banks had degenerated into monopoly financial houses. Inspire of the vast expansion in the branch network there was a general decline in efficiency and profits. For well over two decades after nationalization no bank had been allowed to set up in the private sector. Progressively over this period the public sector banks had their branch network considerably and had catered to the socioeconomic needs of the masses, especially the weaker section and those in rural areas. The public sector banks had 91%of the total bank branches and handled 86%of the total banking business in the country. While recognizing the importance and the role of public sector banks and the need to introduce greater competition lead to higher productivity and efficiency of the banking system private section sector allowed to be set up. They have set up as scheduled commercial bank just as the nationalized banks being also as scheduled. While permitting the entry of the new private sector banks following considerations to be kept in mind. 1. They serve the goals underlying the financial sector reforms and thus provide competitive, efficient and low cost financial intermediary services for the society at large. 2. They are financially viable. 3. They should result in up gradation of technology in the banking sector, 4. They should avoid the shortcomings such as unfair pre-emption and concentration of credit, monopolization of economic power, cross holdings with industrial groups. 5. Freedom of entry into the banking sector needs to be managed carefully and judiciously

6. Based on these considerations the reserve bank formulated the following guidelines for establishment of new banks in private sector Such a bank shall be registered as a public limited company under the companies act, 1956. The RBI may, on merit, grant a license under the banking regulation act, 1949, for such bank. The bank may also be included in the second schedule of reserve bank of India, act, 1939 at the appropriate time. The decision of RBI in these matters shall be final. The bank will be governed by the provision of the banking regulation act will govern the bank, 1949 in regards to its authorized , subscribed and paid up capital for such bank shall be determined by the RBI and will also be subject to other applicable regulation. The shares of the bank should be listed on the stock exchange To avoid concentration of the head quarters of new banks in metropolitan cities and other over banked Ares, while granting a license preference may be given to those the head quarters of which are proposed to be located in a centre which does not have the head quarters of any other bank. The director of the bank should not be the director of any other banking company or of companies which among themselves are entitled to excise voting rights in excess of 20% of the total voting of all the shareholders of the banking company as laid down in the banking regulation act, 1949. The bank will also have compile with such directions of the RBI as are applicable to existing banks in the matter of export credit. For facilitating this it may issued an authorized dealers license to deal in foreign exchange, when applied for. The bank will be governed by the proviso of the reserve bank of India act, 1934. Banking regulation act, 1949 and other relevant

statutes, in regard to its management, set up, liquidity requirements and the scope of tits activities. The directives, instructions, guidelines and advice given by the RBI shall be applicable to such banks as in case of other banks. It would be ensured that a new bank would concentrate on core banking activities initially. Such a bank shall be subject to prudential norms in respect of banking operations; RBI lays down accounting policies and other policies as; the bank will have to achieve capital adequacy of 8% of the risk weighted from the very beginning.

On the Job Training:


On the job training is considered to be most effective method of training the operative personnel. Under this method the worker is given training at the work place by his immediate supervisor. In other words the worker learns in the actual workplace. It is based on the principle of learning by doing.

There are four methods of on the job training described below: Coaching: Under this method the supervisor imparts job knowledge and skills to his subordinate. The emphasis in coaching or instructing the subordinate on learning by doing. This method is very effective if the superior has sufficient time to provide coaching to his subordinates.

The trainees avoid confusion and pressure of the work situation and are thus able to concentrate on training. No interference with the regular processes of production.

Demerits:
The artificial training atmosphere may create the adjustment problems for the trainees when they return to the place of job. It is relatively expensive because there is duplication of materials, equipment and conditions found in a real workplace.

Concept of executive / management Development:


Executive or management development consists of all activities by which executives learn to improve their behavior and performance. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of managers in their present jobs and to prepare them for higher jobs in future. According to Chhabra, Ahuja, and jain Management development is the process by which managers acquire not only skills and competency in their present jobs but also capabilities for future managerial tasks of increasing difficulty and scope. Development of managers takes place not only by participating in formal courses of instruction drawn by the organization, but also through actual job experience in the organization. But also through actual job experience in the organization.

Nature of Executive Development:


1. Educational process: Development is more akin of education than it is to specific training in skills. Thus, a manager cannot be developed only by taking a course, attending lectures and conferences, job rotation assignments and the like. 2. Behavioral Change: Executive or management development is a planned process of learning and growth designed to bring behavioral change among the executives. It implies that there will be a change in knowledge and behavior of the individuals undergoing development programme. 3. Self-Development: The organization can merely provide faculties for development but the real urge of development should arise from within the individuals. 4. Continuous process: Executive development is an ongoing or never ending exercise rather than a one-shot affair.

Objectives of executive development


The objectives of management of executive development programme of any business concern are: To increase the overall knowledge and conceptual and decision makingskills of executives. To improve the performance of managers in their present positions. To ensure an adequate reserve of capable well-trained managers for future needs. To influence the behavior of workers through the executives; To introduce change in the organization by developing executives into change agents or facilitators. To provide opportunities to the managers for their career advancement. To prevent obsolescence of executive by providing them opportunities for updating their knowledge and skills.

Training vs. Development

On the job methods


Multiple Management: Multiple management is the name given to the system whereby permanent advisory committees of executives study problems of the organization and make recommendations to higher management. The final decisions rest with the top management. Another device is the establishments of a junior board director in a company for the training of the executives. The junior board is given power to discuss any problem which the senior board could discuss. The greatest value of this additional board is the training of junior executives. Membership of the junior board becomes a pre-requisite to the membership of the senior board

Benefits:
Firstly it gives board members an opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in various aspects. It helps identify those who have good executive talent. The junior executives gain practical experience in group decision making and in team work. It is relatively less expensive method of development.

Committee Assignment:
Under this method, an dhow committee is constituted and is assigned a subject to discuss and make recommendations. The committee has assigned objectives and responsibilities related to some aspect of the organization. It will make a study of the problem and present its suggestions to the department head. Committee assignments can provide necessary general background to the trainees because every member of the committee gets a chance to learn from others. Committee assignment is an important device for educating the executives to acquire general backgrmund and to modify their behavior towards the selected problem.

Off the job methods:

Special Courses:The executives may be required to attend special courses which are formally organized by the enterprise with the help of experts from educational institutions. The executives may also be sponsored by their employees to attend the courses conducted by management institutes. It may be noted that only the big enterprises can send their executives to the management development courses run by management institutes because of the fee of these courses is very high. Special readings: The in charge of executive development programmes or human resource development manager can provide Xerox copies of specific articles published in journals such as fortune, Harvard business review, business today, and newspapers such as economic times and financial express to the executives for improving their knowledge. Sensivity training: Sensitivity training or t-group training is also known as laboratory training as it is conducted under controlled conditions. It means development of awareness and sensitivity to behavioral patterns of oneself and others.T groups are helpful in unlearning and learning certain things. They help the participants to understand how groups actually work and give them a chance to discover how they are interpreted by others. .it also aims at increasing tolerance power of the individual and his ability to understand others. The sensitivity training programmes are generally conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. Role Playing Role playing technique is used for human relations and leadership training. Its purpose is to give trainees and opportunity to learn human relations skills through practice and to develop insight into ones own behavior and its effect upon others. Thus its objectives is very narrow i.e. to increase the trainees skill in dealing with others. Under this method a conflict situation is artificially constructed and two or more trainees are assigned different roles to play. No dialogue is given beforehand. The role players are provided with a written or oral description of the situation and the role they are to play. After being allowed sufficient time to plan their actions, they must then act their parts spontaneously before the class. Benefits: It provides an opportunity for development human relations understanding and skills and to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired from textbooks, lectures discussions etc.

In- Basket Method: This method is used for developing decision-making skills among the trainees. As the name indicates, in-basket training is structured around the familiar receptacle used for collecting incoming, mail memos and reports. Materials that require problem solving are put into in basket and the trainee plays the role of a manager responsible for solving the problems. The trainee is given background information on the personalities and situations involved. Then using experience as a guide, the trainee is asked to take appropriate action within short time period. Individual or group discussion follows the written part of the exercise. Even the trainees who are satisfied with their methods of handling problems usually find that discussions broaden their knowledge of various possible ways to approach the same problem. Management games: A variety of business and management games have been devised and are being used with varying degrees of success in development programmes. A management game is a class room exercise in which a number of teams of trainees compete against each other to achieve certain objectives. The game is designed to be close representation of real life conditions. The trainees are asked to make decisions about production, cost, research and development inventories, sales etc for a simulated organization. Since they are often divided into teams a competing company, experience is also obtained in tem work. Under this method, the executives learn by analyzing problems by using some intuition and by making trial and error type of decisions. A management game has obsessive feedback of the consequences of business decisions.

Training in the Indian banking sector


During the last ten years, lifelong learning has become one of the most frequently heard terms in training circles. This is perhaps an apt response to the increasingly rapid changes under way in modern societies. As a sequel, every business entity worth its salt is placing utmost importance on the development of human capital- the knowledge, skills and motivation embodied in people. The growing share of economic output in the services sector, including that of banking is turning to the knowledge- and informationintensive. This in itself is placing a high premium on the continued upgrading of skills and competencies of the workforce. The growth of the knowledge economy that has of course partly been stimulated by demand for new types of goods and services, increasing globalization of economic activities and technological changes has only multiplies the need and urgency for new or additional type of competencies, such as teamwork, ability to co-operate in an unclear environment problem solving capacity to deal with non-routine processes, ability to handle decisions and responsibilities ,communication skills and capacity to see work place developments in a broader concept among the employees. With the kind of reforms and the resulting changes that are currently overawing the Indian banks, the urgency to inculcate such competencies among the workforce is getting intensified in the banking sector. High productivity work places, such as banks need to have heightened competencies to be widely spread throughout the branch network and not just concentrated among a few places. To ensure this, the life long learning concept

shall be made applicable not just to young people-tomorrows adults- but also to older workers. For this matter, the high level of initial general education that the current crop of young generation brings to the workplace will certainly assist them to anticipate and cope with the changes in the workplace. It is indeed the order staff who needs to be injected with fresh concepts to not only changes its mindset but also to hone up their competencies in tune with the changing market scenario.

Training in Indian banks: Current Scenario


Bank staff is at present provided with professional training through various avenues , in house training establishments of respective banks, training colleges of Reserve Bank of India and collaborative training institutes such as National Institute of bank management, Pune: Southern India Banks Staff Training College, Banglore; North East institute of bank Management, Guwahati, etc. Most of the training programs conducted by these institutes are confined to business processing and service delivery although current research carried out elsewhere indicates that banks today require a broader range skill than what was contemplated as essential in the early 1990s. It is being increasingly felt that certain specific personal attributes such as:

Loyalty Commitment Honesty and integrity

Enthusiasm Reliability Personal presentation Common sense Positive self esteem Sense of humor Balances attitude to work and home life Ability to deal with pressure Motivation adaptability

Are quiet necessary for organizational efficiency. Similarly, certain managerial skills are identified as key essentials even at the lower cadre if organizational productivity is to be optimized, particularly in turbulent times. Some such identifies skills are. Communication skills that contribute to productive and harmonious relations between employees and customers Teamwork skills that contribute to productive working relationship and outcomes. Problem solving skills that contribute to productive outcomes. Initiatives and enterprising skills that contribute to innovative outcomes. Planning and organizing skills that contributes to long and short term strategic planning. Self-management skills that contribute to employee satisfaction and growth. Learning skills that contribute to ongoing improvement and expansion in employee and company operations and outcomes and Technology skills that contribute to effective execution of tasks

SWOT Analysis:
STRENGTHS

Strong group backing and international recognition. Good networking in terms of geographical coverage. Location advantage as located on a highly commercial area. Skilled, motivated and professional staff. Pleasant and friendly bank atmosphere. Fully automated and all branches linked through VSATS thus making anywhere banking possible.

Innovative products to match varied preference of customers.

Longer banking hours.


Weaknesses:

Services yet not available on Sundays. ATMs less in number. Less aggressive advertising as compared to other bank
Opportunities:

Shift in customer preference from public to private sector banks. Change in customer preference of banking /service. Customers
are more conscious of various products and demand quality service. THREATS:

The public sector banks are reorganizing and restructuring them.


They already have an added advantage because of their large networks.

Increasing competition between new generation private banks


with emphasis on better and advanced technology.

Aggressive advertising by competitors.

EMPLOYMENT EQUALITY POLICY


Introduction

The Banks Policy on Employment Equality is designed to build on the statutory position as laid down by equality legislation and to create an awareness and a climate in which equal opportunity is developed and promoted in accordance with the spirit as well as the letter of the law of the land. Policy Statement The Bank, as an employer, is committed to ensuring that the talents and resources of all employees are utilized to the full and to the greatest benefit of both employer and employee and that no job applicant or employee receives less favorable treatment than another on the grounds of sex, marital/family status, race, color, ethnic origin, religious/political benefits or physical disability or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which are not relevant to the job. Management Commitment to Equality The Banks success in applying an effective employment equality policy depends to a significant extent upon the contribution of all its employees. Basic principles of employment equality are prescribed by legislation but sole reliance on such provisions will not ensure that employment equality is promoted. Management recognizes the importance of employment equality as a means of developing the full potential of all employees and of creating a climate in which equal opportunities are a reality both in attitude and in practice of employment The Banks Human Resource Policy and Procedures reinforce this position. Management is committed to work towards the elimination of inequalities, which may exist relative to the bank's stated policy.

EMPLOYMENT EQUALITY IN PRACTICE

Recruitment The Bank will not discriminate against any prospective employee as outlined in the Policy. Those involved in recruitment and selection will receive appropriate training to ensure that this process is as objective as possible and complies with the legislative requirements. Disabled persons will receive full consideration for employment as suitable vacancies arise. All applications will be evaluated on the basis of ability, merit, personal qualifies and job-related criteria.

Interviews Interviews will be carried out objectively and individuals judged on merit and their ability to do the job. Both sexes should be represented, as far as possible on an interview panel. Interviewers should be fair to all applicants/potential employees There should be no assumptions, those individuals because of sex, marital/family status or race posses characteristics, which might put them at a disadvantage/advantage. Information sought should refer to the requirements of the job. Information regarding applicants domestic commitments, i.e. husband/wife/children should not be sought unless it is relevant to the demands of the job. Where it is necessary to determine whether personal circumstances would have an adverse effect on performance of the job, e.g., extensive travel, etc., then appropriate questions will be asked equally of all interviewees.

Placement/Transferability Initial placement and subsequent transfers of employees are based on the staffing requirements of our many branches and departments and on the need to accommodate the personal development of employees.While recognizing the importance of transferability/mobility in the development of employees and in meeting the needs of the organization, transferability would be realistically assessed and without prejudice to the individual concerned. The Bank will endeavor to keep the number of transfers of an individual as low as possible and to accommodate, as far as possible, the needs of employees.

Recommendation
HDFC should pay great attention to identification of right persons to be appointed as faculty. While picking up the faculty it should ensure that the incumbent: Has experience in virtually all tasks and techniques of the entire range of training methodology and can carry out these activities at an acceptable level of proficiency. Is flexible and versatile and open to change. Takes risks and could submerge his ego for the good of the group Can great excitement in training and has a sense of humor has enough independence and toughness of mind. Assessment of training Gaps: Before providing the training to the employees bank should do a need assessment study. It helps to identify discrepancies between employees skills and the skills required for effective job performance, discrepancies between current skills and the skills needed to perform the job effectively in the future. Need analysis consist of? Organizational analysis: Training needs at this level could be ascertained from: Corporate goals and objectives Manpower plan Skill pool Organizational climate Induction of new technology. Job Analysis: It involves: What is the task How it need to be performed Different activities involved

Identification training.

from

Personal analysis It reveals who needs to be trained? What kind of training needs to be provided? This analysis should be done by someone who is observing the employees performance. Training Methodology: The lecture method adopted by the HDFC bank is the least effective method of training instead of using this techniques bank should consider other methods like case study, as it provides opportunities for exchange of ideas and consideration of possible solutions to problems the trainees will face in the work situation but free from the pressure of the actual world. it also promotes reflection, deep understanding and motivation among the trainees. Role playing is good for changing attitude or interpersonal skills but demands from a trainer some knowledge of psychology, a lot of experience with various types of human problems and ability to quickly react in the discussions.

Evaluation of Training: Bank should use the program evaluation as the final phase of training Process, during which effectiveness of the training program is measured. This information helps bank decide whether to continue to use a particular program in the future, whether to use a particular training methodology in the future or not. Training evaluation could be done at four levels: First at reaction level Second at learning stage Third at change in behavior finally the impact of Training on banks performance.

Conclusion
The Indian banking system is passing through a great transition. Never has it in the past been threatened by so many challenges. Banks are struggling to edge-out challenges posed by first generation reforms through an archaic training system. It is time banks switch over to systematic assessment of training needs across the system and reengineer their training programs as also the style of their delivery in such a way that they simply make the workforce competent enough to deliver banking services in the changed atmospherics. To remain high productive centers of banking services banks need to hone up the functional abilities of their staff and faster they do it better would be their sustainability.
