PROJECT REPORT ON “CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TOWARDS RELIANCE MUTUAL FUNDS”
1.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Introduction
A mutual represents a vehicle for collective investment. Till 1986, the Unit Trust of India was the only mutual fund in India. Since then public sector banks and insurance companies have been allowed to set up subsidiaries to undertake mutual fund business. So, State Bank of India, Canara Bank, LIC, GIC, and a few other public sector banks entered the mutual fund industry.
In 1992, the mutual fund industry was opened to the private sector, and a number of private sector mutual funds such as Birla Mutual Fund, DSP Merrill Lynch Mutual Fund, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund, Morgan Stanley Mutual Fund, Tata Mutual Fund, Prudential ICICI Mutual Fund, Reliance Mutual Fund, Standard Chartered Mutual Fund, Templeton Mutual Fund, IDBI- Principal Mutual Fund have been set up. The process of consolidation began in recent years.
At present, there are about 30 mutual funds managing nearly 1000 schemes. While the mutual fund industry in India has registered a healthy growth over the last 15 years, it is still very small in relation to other intermediaries like banks and insurance companies. Mutual funds are one of the best investments ever created because they are very cost-efficient and very easy to invest in. by pooling money together in a mutual fund, investors can purchase stocks or bonds with much lower trading costs than if they tried to do it on their own. But the biggest advantage of mutual funds is diversification.
The mutual fund industry in India started in 1963 with the formation of Unit Trust of India, at the initiative of the Government of India and Reserve Bank of India. The history of mutual funds in India can be broadly divided into four distinct phases
First Phase - 1964-1987
Unit Trust of India (UTI) was established in 1963 by an Act of Parliament. It was set up by the Reserve Bank of India and functioned under the Regulatory and administrative control of the Reserve Bank of India. In 1978 UTI was de-linked from the RBI and the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) took over the regulatory and administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. At the end of 1988, UTIs had Rs. 6,700 crores of assets under management.
Second Phase - 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1987 marked the entry of non-UTI, public sector mutual funds set up by public sector banks and Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). SBI Mutual Fund was the first non-UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by
Can bank Mutual Fund (Dec 87), Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug 89), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov 89), Bank of India (Jun 90), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct 92). LIC
Third Phase - 1993-2003 (Entry of Private Sector Funds)
With the entry of private sector
funds in 1993, a new era started in the Indian mutual fund industry, giving the
Indian investors a wider choice of fund families. Also, 1993 was the year in
which the first Mutual Fund Regulations came into being, under which all mutual
funds, except UTI, were to be registered and governed. The erstwhile Kothari
Pioneer (now merged with Franklin Templeton) was the first private sector
mutual fund registered in July 1993.
The 1993 SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations were substituted by a more comprehensive and revised Mutual Fund Regulations in 1996. The industry now functions under the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996.
The number of mutual fund houses went on increasing, with many foreign mutual funds setting up funds in India, and also the industry has witnessed several mergers and acquisitions. As of the end of January 2003, there were 33 mutual funds with total assets of Rs. 1, 21,805 crores. The Unit Trust of India with Rs. 44,541 crores of assets under management was way ahead of other mutual funds.
Fourth Phase - since February 2003
In February 2003, following the repeal of the Unit
Trust of India Act 1963 UTI was bifurcated into two separate entities. One is
the Specified Undertaking of the Unit Trust of India with assets under
management of Rs. 29,835 crores as of the end of January 2003, representing
broadly, the assets of the US 64 scheme, assured return, and certain other schemes.
The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India, functions under an
administrator and under the rules framed by the Government of India and does not
come under the purview of the Mutual Fund Regulations.

Customer
perception
Different customers may perceive one and the same product or service in different ways. A customer’s perception of an offering may even deviate from what the producer or service provider or marketer had intended. This may cause serious problems in today’s attention economy. Everybody is exposed to more and more diverse information than ever before. It is hard enough for an offering to get a potential customer’s attention at all. If the customer’s perception of this offering is an unfavorable one, it probably will not get a second chance to make a better impression.
DEFINITIONS
Ø
Customer
perception refers to how customers view a certain product based on their own
conclusions. These conclusions are derived from a number of
factors, such as price and overall experience.
Ø
Customer perception refers to the
process by which a customer selects, organizes, and interprets
information/stimuli inputs to create a meaningful picture of the brand or the
product.
Ø
Customer perception
is typically affected by
advertising, reviews, public relations, social media,
personal experiences, and other channels.
ONLINE BANKING
Online banking, also known as internet banking, e-banking, or virtual banking, is an
electronic
payment system that enables customers of a bank or other financial
institution to conduct a range of financial
transactions through the financial institution's website. The online
banking system will typically connect to or be
part of the core banking system
operated by a bank and is in contrast to branch banking which was
the traditional way customers accessed
banking services.
To access a financial
institution's online banking facility, a customer with internet access would
need to register with the institution
for the service, and set up a password and other credentials for customer verification.
DEFINITION
Online banking allows a user to execute financial transactions via the internet. Online banking is also known as "internet banking" or "web banking." An online bank offers customers just about every service traditionally available through a local branch, including deposits, which are done online or through the mail, and online bill payment
HOW IT WORKS
Most banks offer customers
the option of
online banking. Customers are able to access all of their accounts through
an internet connection using the bank's own website or a commercial software
package such as Quicken or Money.
Online banking allows customers to monitor accounts, download transactions, transfer funds between accounts,
including checking, saving,
and money market/CD accounts, manage investments, and handle loan activity, including
applications and repayments. Clients can transfer funds to their bank accounts, and pay bills either electronically (with
an account transfer) or by having the bank issue paper checks
directly to the payee.
Banks have set up security systems to ensure that transactions conducted online are protected from internet security threats. Most banks use industry-standard Secure Transaction software and protocol to manage the security of their systems.
WHY IT MATTERS
Online banking
has made personal and business banking faster, more efficient, and safer.
HISTORY
First
online banking services in the United States
Online banking was first
introduced in the early 1980s
in New York, United States. Four
major banks — Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Chemical Bank, and Manufacturers
Hanover — offered home banking services. Chemical introduced its Pronto services
for individuals and small businesses in 1983,
which enabled individual and small-business clients to maintain electronic
checkbook registers, see account balances, and transfer funds between checking
and savings accounts. Pronto failed to attract enough customers to break even
and was abandoned in 1989. Other
banks had a similar experience.
First
online banking in the United
Kingdom
Almost
simultaneously with the United States, online banking arrived in the United Kingdom. The UK's first home online banking service known
as the Home link was
set up by the Bank of Scotland for customers of the Nottingham Building Society
(NBS) in 1983.
The system used was based on the UK's Prestel view link system and used a computer,
such as the BBC Micro, or
keyboard (TandataTd1400) connected to the telephone system and television set.
The system allowed on-line viewing of statements, bank transfers, and bill payments.
In order to make bank transfers and bill
payments, a written instruction giving details of the intended recipient had to
be sent to the NBS who set the details up on the Home link
system. Typical recipients were gas, electricity, and telephone companies and
account with other banks. Details
of payments to be made were input into the NBS system by the account holder
via Prestel. A cheque was then sent by NBS to the payee and advice-giving
details of the payment were sent to the account holder. BACS was later used to transfer the payment directly.
Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in
October 1994.
Banks and the World Wide Web
Around 1994,
banks saw the rising popularity of the internet as an opportunity to advertise their services. Initially, they
used the internet as another brochure, without interaction with the customer.
Early sites featured pictures of the bank's officers or buildings and provided customers with maps of branches and ATM locations, phone numbers to call for
further information, and simple listings of products. For more project reports please visit below:

marketing tools that the firm uses to pursue its marketing objectives in the
target market. It can be defined as a set of controllable variables that a firm
can use to influence the buyer’s response within a given target market. The
marketer has to take a series of decisions on four major ingredients frequently

promotion. However, there are other P’s which affect the market situation e.g.
marketing mix tools that the firm uses to pursue packing, pride, political

Profile of J&K Bank
Prelude
The J&K Bank was incorporated on October 1st, 1938 commended business on July 4th, 1939. From a small beginning, the bank has grown to become a giant with a wide network of branches spread over the length and breadth of India. A significant contributing factor to this fast growth is the solid founding principles, which are dedicated to the cause of transforming the bank not only as a financial heart but also as a social heart of the community.
The J&K Bank is the first state-owned Bank in the country and 53% of the equity is held by the Govt. of J&K. The Bank has a consistent track record of growth and profitability. It has a unique distinction of being a banker to the J&K State Govt. and has also been appointed by RBI as its agency in J&K, responsible for carrying out general banking business of the central Govt. and collection of taxes pertaining to the Central Board of Direct Taxes.
The landmark achievements in the diversification of the Bank's functions include the sponsoring of the two Regional Rural Banks viz, Kamraz Rural Bank and Jammu Rural Bank; permission for dealing in foreign exchange, holding the lead bank responsibilities in eight of the fourteen districts in J&K.
Nearly 350 branches have been either partly or fully computerized covering 90% of the total business of the bank. The bank has already installed around 130 ATMs at vital installations in the country. The ATMs are interconnected and thus provide the customer convenient and 24-hour banking facilities. Bank also introduced the Global Access Card in collaboration with MasterCard international, thus increasing the acceptability of cards to all maestro locations throughout the globe. Bank has also commissioned anywhere banking facilities at more than 103 branches throughout the country. The bank has already made available the EFT and E-mail facilities at all of its computerized branches and also Tele-banking facilities at most of these branches.
Presently the bank is the fastest growing bank in India with a network of more than 500 branches spread across the country offering world-class banking products/services to the masses.
INTRODUCTION TO THE BANK
ABOUT INDUSTRY
“Banking is the aggregate of functions, directed at
providing services to satisfy customer financial (and other related) needs and
wants, more effectively and efficiently than the competitor, keeping in view
the organizational objectives of the bank” Marketing is an essential attribute
to Retail Banking in order to lure customers and convince them that your Bank
offers the best product and services. It majorly governs how the financial
institution would grow, increase its profitability, and devote more energy to
innovation while they are preoccupied with a mountain of regulations and
compliance issues. Bank Marketing aims at creating and garnering more and more
customers and retaining them by means of impeccable customer service. As per
the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s banking sector is sufficiently
capitalized and well-regulated. The financial and economic conditions in the
country are far superior to any other country in the world. Credit, market, and
liquidity risk studies suggest that Indian banks are generally resilient and
have withstood the global downturn well. The Indian banking industry has recently
witnessed the rollout of innovative banking models like payments and small
finance banks. RBI’s new measures may go a long way in helping the
restructuring of the domestic banking industry. The digital payments system in
India has evolved the most among 25 countries with India’s Immediate Payment
Service (IMPS) being the only system at level five in the Faster Payments
Innovation Index (FPII).
