INTRODUCTION
Service with a smile:
Today‟s finicky banking customers will settle for nothing less. The customer has come to realize
somewhat belatedly that he is the king. The customer‟s choice of one entity over another as his
principal bank is determined by considerations of service quality rather than any other factor. He
wants competitive loan rates but at the same time also wants his loan or credit card application
processed in double quick time. He insists that he be promptly informed of changes in deposit
rates and service charges and he bristles with „customary rage‟ if his bank is slow to redress any
grievance he may have. He cherishes the convenience of impersonal net banking but during his
occasional visits to the branch he also wants the comfort of personalized human interactions and
facilities that make his banking experience pleasurable. In short he wants financial house that
will more than just clear his cheque and updates his passbook: he wants a bank that cares and
provides great services.
So does HDFC bank meet these heightened expectations? What are the customers‟ perceptions
of service quality of the banks? Which dimension of service quality of HDFC bank is performing
well? To find out answers to these questions I undertook a survey of 2 branches of HDFC bank.
A lot of surveys have been done in the past to understand the aspect of customer satisfaction and
to find out the customer friendly banks. My research is conducted to find out “SERVICE
QUALITY OF HDFC BANK”.

JOY AND SIMPLICITY
BUSINESS
HDFC Bank offers a wide range of commercial and transactional banking services and treasury
products to wholesale and retail customers. The bank has three key business segments:
Wholesale Banking Services
The Bank's target market ranges from large, blue-chip manufacturing companies in the
Indian corporate to small & mid-sized corporates and agri-based businesses. For these
customers, the Bank provides a wide range of commercial and transactional banking
services, including working capital finance, trade services, transactional services, cash

including multinationals, companies from the domestic business houses and prime public
sector companies. It is recognised as a leading provider of cash management and
transactional banking solutions to corporate customers, mutual funds, stock exchange

members and banks.
Retail Banking Services
The objective of the Retail Bank is to provide its target market customers a full range of
financial products and banking services, giving the customer a one-stop window for all
his/her banking requirements. The products are backed by world-class service and delivered
to customers through the growing branch network, as well as through alternative delivery

The HDFC Bank Preferred program for high net worth individuals, the HDFC Bank Plus
and the Investment Advisory Services programs have been designed keeping in mind needs
of customers who seek distinct financial solutions, information and advice on various
investment avenues. The Bank also has a wide array of retail loan products including Auto

HDFC Bank was the first bank in India to launch an International Debit Card in association
with VISA (VISA Electron) and issues the Mastercard Maestro debit card as well. The Bank
launched its credit card business in late 2001. By March 2010, the bank had a total card base
(debit and credit cards) of over 14 million. The Bank is also one of the leading players in the
“merchant acquiring” business with over 90,000 Point-of-sale (POS) terminals for debit /
credit cards acceptance at merchant establishments. The Bank is well positioned as a leader
in various net based B2C opportunities including a wide range of internet banking services
for Fixed Deposits, Loans, Bill Payments, etc.

Treasury
Within this business, the bank has three main product areas - Foreign Exchange and
Derivatives, Local Currency Money Market & Debt Securities, and Equities. With the
liberalisation of the financial markets in India, corporates need more sophisticated risk
management information, advice and product structures. These and fine pricing on various
treasury products are provided through the bank's Treasury team. To comply with statutory
reserve requirements, the bank is required to hold 25% of its deposits in government
securities. The Treasury business is responsible for managing the returns and market risk on
this investment portfolio.

In the days of intense competition, the banks are no different from any other consumer marketing
company. It has become essential for the service firms in general and banks in particular to
identify what the customer's requirements are and how those customer requirements can be met
effectively. In the days where product and price differences are blurred, superior service by the
service provider is the only differentiator left before the banks to attract, retain and partner with
the customers. Superior service quality enables a firm to differentiate itself from its competition,
gain a sustainable competitive advantage, and enhance efficiency .The benefits of service quality
include increased customer satisfaction, improved customer retention, positive word of mouth,
reduced staff turnover, decreased operating costs, enlarged market share, increased profitability,
and improved financial performance. The construct of service quality has therefore been a
subject of great interest to service marketing researchers.
Service quality has been defined by various experts in various ways as: 'Service Quality is the
difference between customers' expectations for service performance prior to the service
encounter and their perceptions of the service received.' According to Gefan „Service quality is
the subjective comparison that customers make between the qualities of service that they want to
receive and what they actually get.' Parasuraman says, 'Service quality is determined by the
differences between customer's expectations of services provider's performance and their
evaluation of the services they received.
Service quality is 'the delivery of excellent or superior service relative to customer expectations‟.
Service quality is recognized as a multidimensional construct. While the number of dimensions

often varies from researcher to researcher, there is some consensus that service quality consists
of three primary aspects: outcome quality, interaction quality, and physical service environment
quality. Outcome quality refers to the customer's assessment of the core service which is the
prime motivating factor for obtaining the services (e.g. money received from ATM).
Interaction quality refers to the customer's assessment of the service delivery process, which is
typically rendered via a physical interface between the service provider, in person, or via
technical equipment, and the customer. It includes, for instance, the consumer's evaluation of the
attitude of the service providing staff. The physical service environment quality dimension refers
to the consumer's evaluation of any tangible aspect associated with the facilities or equipment
that the service is provided in/ with. It includes, for example, the physical conditions of an ATM
machine.
The most popular dimensions of service quality--features five dimensions: tangibles,
reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and assurance. The tangibles dimension corresponds to
the aforementioned physical environment aspect, the reliability dimension corresponds to the
service outcome aspect, and the remaining three represent aspects of interaction quality.
Both the costs and the revenue of firms are affected by repeat purchases, positive word-of-mouth
recommendation, and customer feedback. Moreover, there is strong evidence that service quality
has either a direct influence on the behavioral intentions of customers and/or an indirect
influence on such intentions, mediated through customer satisfaction.

RATER is an instrument that might be used to define and measure banking service quality and
to create useful quality-assessment tools.
The RATER may finally provide the following benefits to the HDFC bank:
1. It is the first approach to add and mix the customers‟ religious beliefs and cultural values with
other quality dimensions.
2. It provides for multi-faced analysis of customer satisfaction.
3. It links quality with customers‟ satisfaction and service encounter.
4. It provides information at several levels, already organized into meaningful groupings.
5. It is a proven approach, which results in usable answers to meet customers‟ needs.
6. It is empirically grounded, systematic and well documented.
Banks managers can use the RATER model and its dimensions first to identify the following
issues:
To identify those areas where improvement should be made and resources can be allocated. For
instance, they need to know the level of quality in their banks and they can manipulate to make
bank-wide improvement in quality performance. Also they can use benchmarking to compare
their performance and other banks‟, which have already implemented quality program that will
help to prioritise the quality management efforts.

TANGIBILITY: This dimension deal with modern looking equipments and visual appealing part of
banks.
RELIABILITY: This dimension has a direct positive effect on perceived service quality and
customer satisfaction in banking institutions. Banks must provide error free service and secure
online transactions to make customers feel comfortable.
RESPONSIVENESS: Customers expect that the banks must respond their inquiry promptly.
Responsiveness describes how often a bank voluntarily provides services that are important to its
customers. Researchers examining the responsiveness of banking services have highlighted the
importance of perceived service quality and customer satisfaction.
ASSURANCE: Customer expects that the bank must be secured and the behavior of the employees
must be encouraging.

DIMENSIONS OF SERVICE QUALITY

EMPATHY: individual attention, customized service and convenient banking hours are very much
important in today‟s service.
In order to achieve better understanding of service quality in banking sector, the proposed five
service quality dimensions are conceptualized to illustrate the overall service quality of the
banking in relation to customers‟ and providers perspective.
Banking was in the sector featuring medium goods and higher customer producer interactions,
since in banking, consumers and service providers interact personally and the use of goods is at a
medium level. Hence, in banking, where there are high customer-producer interactions, the
quality of service is determined to a large extent by the skills and attitudes of people producing
the service.
In the case of services, because customers are often either direct observers of the production
process or active participants, how the process is performed also has a strong influence on the
overall impression of the quality of service. A well-performed service encounter may even
overcome the negative impression caused by poor technical quality as well as generate positive
word-of-mouth, particularly if customers can see that employees have worked very hard to
satisfy them in the face of problems outside their control. Employees are part of the process,
which connects with the customer at the point of sale, and hence employees remain the key to
success at these service encounters or “moments of truth”. It is these encounters with customers

during a service that are the most important determinants of overall customer satisfaction, and a
customer‟s experience with the service will be defined by the brief experience with the firm‟s
personnel and the firm‟s systems. The rudeness of the bank‟s customer service representative,
the abruptness of the employee at the teller counter, or the lack of interest of the person at the
check deposit counter can alter one‟s overall attitude towards the service, perhaps even reversing
the impression caused by high technical quality.
Another important service quality factor, competence, is defined by whether the bank performs
the service right the first time, whether the employees of the bank tell customers exactly when
services will be performed, whether the bank lives up to its promises, whether customers feel
safe in their transactions with the bank and whether the employees show a sincere interest in
solving the customers‟ problems. In short, this dimension is related to the banks‟ ability to
perform the promised service accurately and dependably. Performing the service dependably and
accurately is the heart of service marketing excellence. When a company performs a service
carelessly, when it makes avoidable mistakes, and when it fails to deliver on promises made to
attract customers, it shakes customers‟ confidence in its capabilities and undermines its chances
of earning a reputation for service excellence.
It is very important to do the service right the first time. In case a service problem does crop up,
by resolving the problem to the customer‟s satisfaction, the company can significantly improve
customer retention. However, companies fare best when they prevent service problems

altogether and fare worst when service problems occur and the company either ignores them or
does not resolve them to the customer‟s satisfaction.
Performing the service accurately is perhaps the most important factor in service quality
excellence. The cost of performing the service inaccurately includes not only the cost of redoing
the service but also the cost associated with negative word-of-mouth generated by displeased
customers. In case of services, the factory is the field. Again, services are intangible and hence
the criteria for flawless services are more subjective than the criteria for defect-free tangible
goods. Hence for most services, customers‟ perceptions of whether the service has been
performed correctly, and not provider-established criteria, are the major determinants of
reliability.
The service quality factor tangible is defined by whether the physical facilities and materials
associated with the service are visually appealing at the bank. These are all factors that customers
notice before or upon entering the bank. Such visual factors help consumers form their initial
impressions. A crucial challenge in service marketing is that customers cannot see a service but
can see the various tangibles associated with it - all these tangibles, the service facilities,
equipment and communication materials are clues about the intangible service. If unmanaged,
these clues can send to the customer‟s wrong messages about the service and render ineffective
the marketing strategy of the company. On the other hand, improving quality through tangibles
means attention to the smallest details that competitors might consider trivial. Yet, these visible
details can add up for customers and signal a message of caring and competence.

Customers may reveal new aspects of service quality in banking that are important to them, and
these would have to be incorporated in the scale so as to further explore the concept of service
quality in the banking arena.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
AND
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study is as follows:
 To examine the essential dimensions of service quality i.e. RATER- Reliability,
assurance, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness of HDFC bank and its effect on customer‟s
satisfaction.
 To find out the level of perception of the customers from the service quality offered by
the banks.
 To know which service quality dimension of the bank is performing well.
 To identify which dimension of service quality needs improvement so that the quality of
service of HDFC banks is enhanced
IMPORTANCE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study would try to throw some insights into the existing services provided by the banks,
perceptions and the actual service quality of the bank. The results of the study would be able to
recognize the lacunae in the system and thus provide key areas where improvement is required
for better performance and success ratio. In the days of intense competition, superior service is
the only differentiator left before the banks to attract, retain and partner with the customers.
Superior service quality enables a firm to differentiate itself from its competition, gain a
sustainable competitive advantage, and enhance efficiency.

SCOPE OF STUDY
The scope of this research is to identify the service quality of HDFC bank. This research is based
on primary data and secondary data. This study only focuses on the dimensions of service
quality i.e. RATER. It aims to understand the skill of the company in the area of service quality
that are performing well and shows those areas which require improvement. The study was done
taking two branches of HDFC bank into consideration. The survey was restricted to the bank
customers in Delhi only.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
DATA SOURCE
Primary Data:
The primary data was collected by means of a survey. Questionnaires were prepared and
customers of the banks at two branches were approached to fill up the questionnaires. The
questionnaire contains 20 questions which reflect on the type and quality of services provided by
the banks to the customers. The response of the customer and the is recorded on a grade scale of
strongly disagree, disagree, uncertain, agree and strongly agree for each question. The filled up
information was later analyzed to obtain the required interpretation and the findings.
Secondary Data:
In order to have a proper understanding of the service quality of bank a depth study was done
from the various sources such as books, a lot of data is also collected from the official websites
of the banks and the articles from various search engines like Google, yahoo search and
answers.com.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The research design is exploratory till identification of service quality parameters. Later it
becomes descriptive when it comes to evaluating customer perception of service quality of the
banks.

Descriptive research, also known as statistical research, describes data and characteristics
about the population or phenomenon being studied. Descriptive research answers the questions
who, what, where, when and how.
Although the data description is factual, accurate and systematic, the research cannot describe
what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive research cannot be used to create a causal relationship,
where one variable affects another. In other words, descriptive research can be said to have a low
requirement for internal validity.
The description is used for frequencies, averages and other statistical calculations. Often the best
approach, prior to writing descriptive research, is to conduct a survey investigation. Qualitative
research often has the aim of description and researchers may follow-up with examinations of
why the observations exist and what the implications of the findings are.
RESEARCH SAMPLE
SAMPLING PLAN:
Since it is not possible to study whole universe, it becomes necessary to take sample from the
universe to know about its characteristics.
 Sampling Units: Customers of HDFC bank
 Sample Technique: Random Sampling.
 Research Instrument: Structured Questionnaire.
 Contact Method: Personal Interview.

SAMPLE SIZE:
The work is a case of HDFC Bank, one of the largest bank of Indian banking industry together
representing over 25 per cent of the market share of Indian banking space. The survey was
conducted in the city of Delhi with two branches of HDFC Bank, with 50 customers
as respondent.
DATA COLLECTION TOOL
Data was collected through a structured questionnaire. Likert scale technique is used. The format
of a typical five-level Likert item is:
1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neither agree nor disagree
4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
Likert scaling is a bipolar scaling method, measuring either positive or negative response to a
statement. The questionnaire consists of two parts. The first part consists of three questions
concerning the demographic information of the respondent such as the name, age, educational
qualifications and income. The second part consisting of 18 questions exploring the respondent‟s
perception about the service quality of HDFC. For evaluation of service quality of HDFC bank

service quality dimension of reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy and responsiveness is
used in order to evaluate the actual service quality of HDFC bank.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS
The study is only for the HDFC Bank confined to a particular location and a very small
sample of respondents. Hence the findings cannot be treated as representative of the entire
banking industry.
The study can also not be generalized for public and private sector banks of the country.
Respondents may give biased answers for the required data. Some of the respondents did
not like to respond.
Respondents tried to escape some statements by simply answering “neither agree nor
disagree” to most of the statements. This was one of the most important limitation faced, as it
was difficult to analyse and come at a right conclusion.
In our study we have included 50 customers of bank because of time limit.

MEASURING SERVICE QUALITY DIMENSIONS
Measuring the quality of a service can be a very difficult exercise. Unlike product where there
are specific specifications such as length, depth, width, weight, colour etc. a service can have
numerous intangible or qualitative specifications.
Parasuraman, Zeithaml, and Berry (1985) provide a list of determinants of service quality:
access, communication, competence, courtesy, credibility, reliability, responsiveness, security,
understanding, and tangibles. A total of five consolidated dimensions of service quality are:
Tangibles (ques.1 to 4) - Physical facilities, equipments and appearance of personnel
Reliability (ques.5 to 8) - Ability to perform the promised service dependably and accurately
Responsiveness (ques.9 to 12) – Willingness to help customers and provide prompt services
Assurance (ques.13 to 16) – (including competence, courtesy, credibility and security)
Knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to inspire trust and confidence
Empathy (ques.17 to 20) – (including access, communication and understanding the customer)
Caring and individualized attention that firm provides to its customer.
In order to calculate which dimension of service quality is performing well, a sample of the
questions are used in the questionnaire. Using the questionnaire, obtain the score for each of the
20 statements. After analysis of the data, Overall score to each statement is given on a scale of 1
to 5 i.e. 1 is given to strongly disagreed i.e. the lowest score, then 2= disagreed, 3= uncertain, 4=
agreed and 5= strongly agreed.
Sum the score for each dimension of service quality to obtain a final score which tells which

dimension is performing well and which dimension needs improvement.
The scores are shown in the following table:
Statement Score
1. HDFC bank has modern looking equipment. 2
2. The bank‟s physical features are visually appealing. 3
3. The bank‟s reception desk employees are neat appearing. 3
4. Materials associated with the service (such as pamphlets or statements) are

TANGIBILITY RELIABILITY RESPONSIVENESS ASSURANCE EMPATHY
SERVICE QUALITY OF HDFC BANK

FINDINGS OF THE REPORT
 The Reliability dimension of service quality is better as compared to empathy and
tangibility. Still the score is low. For most services, customer‟s perceptions of whether the
service has been performed correctly, and not provider-established criteria, are the major
determinants of reliability. Customers of the bank hesitate to rely on the bank. Whenever they
have a problem, the bank shows sincere interest in solving it but the services are not performed
by a certain time as promised. The employees should take this problem seriously and take steps
to remove this.
 As score for Assurance is at second place after responsiveness, so the customers of
HDFC bank are very confident and feel safe while transacting with the bank. Moreover the
employees of the bank have proved to be trustworthy. Employees are also educated enough to
answer all the questions.
 The score of Tangibility dimension of service quality of HDFC bank is the lowest. The
service quality factor tangible is defined by whether the physical facilities and materials
associated with the service are visually appealing at the bank. These are all factors that customers
notice before or upon entering the bank. Customer expectations regarding visual appealing of
HDFC is very high. From my study I found that Physical facilities and modern looking
equipment are not sufficient in HDFC bank. Respondents were uncertain about the neat
appearance of the reception desk employees. So they should work on that and try to fulfill the
gap.
 According to my findings, the score of Empathy is not satisfactory but not unsatisfactory
also. HDFC bank is unable to give individual attention to its customers and is unable to

understand specific needs of its customers. But still bank has taken steps to satisfy its customers
by keeping operating hours convenient to its customers and keeping their interest best at heart.
 In HDFC bank, the score of Responsiveness is highest so they are focusing on prompt
service, employees are willing to help the customers and say the exact time when the services
will be performed. Employees at bank give their customers first preference and are always ready
to help them. Overall HDFC bank‟s responsiveness dimension of service quality is the highest.
 According to the customer perception, HDFC bank is highly responsive. Customers are
assured while transacting with the bank. The reliability dimension is lower than the first to
dimension. They feel that the bank is unable to give them individual attention and its equipments
are not modern and sufficient for the bank.
 There is not much gap between all the dimensions, this shows that HDFC BANK is a
better service provider in all the dimensions i.e. reliability, assurance, tangibility, responsiveness
and empathy. As a result of which, the customers are satisfied with the service offered by HDFC
bank.

CONCLUSION
Based on the study conducted it can be concluded that responsiveness, assurance and reliability
are the critical dimensions of service quality of HDFC bank and they are directly related to
overall service quality. The factors that may delight customers tend to be concerned more with
the intangible nature of the service, commitment, attentiveness, friendliness, care, and courtesy.
The employees give prompt services, always are ready to answer the questions and are
trustworthy. The main sources of dissatisfaction appear to be cleanliness, up to date technology
modern equipments, and neatly dressed up employees. The Tangibility dimension of service
quality of HDFC bank is highly disappointing and serious steps are needed to be taken to
enhance this dimension. Customers of the bank are dissatisfied with the empathy dimension. To
satisfy these customers, the management can take some attempts, noted earlier as
recommendations.
The study brings about the areas which require urgent attention of the employees, the
management, and the policy makers of the industry. These are areas in which customers are
hugely dissatisfied with the services of the banks against their expectation. This high degree of
dissatisfaction resulting from the services received clearly questions the design of services or
subsequent response of the bank employees. These limitations are too serious to be avoided as
these question the front-line people dealing with the customers and the approach of the
management in taking customers seriously.
The management should understand the benefits of service quality. It include increased customer
satisfaction, improved customer retention, positive word of mouth, reduced staff turnover,
decreased operating costs, enlarged market share, increased profitability, and improved financial

performance. In the days of intense competition, superior service is the only differentiator left
before the banks to attract, retain and partner with the customers. Superior service quality
enables a firm to differentiate itself from its competition, gain a sustainable competitive
advantage, and enhance efficiency. Thus, improving service quality leads to the customer
satisfaction and, ultimately, to customer loyalty.

RECOMMENDATIONS
 Reliability is an obvious place to start. Customers of the bank want to know their
resources are safe and within trustworthy institutions. A way to ensure this peace of mind would
be to take steps to ensure bank employees are well trained, so each bank associate is able to offer
complete and comprehensive information at all times. Consistent policies combined with a
knowledgeable staff will foster a high degree of institutional cohesion and reliability.
 Responsiveness, again when associated with a well-trained staff and timely answers to
service-related questions, would make significant inroads into causing HDFC bank be regarded
as responsive. Staff should be encouraged to present relevant options to banking customers in a
manner that does not resemble salesmanship so much as a desire to serve.
 Intangibles please customers just as much as tangibles in the banking industry. People
tend to visit the same branch of a bank over and over again. Usually, this is a location close to
their home or their workplace. It is natural that customers become comfortable and habituated to
these branch banks, for the same reason they develop familiarity with a neighborhood
supermarket or convenience store. It makes sense that bank employees would be encouraged to
learn to recognize these regular customers, learn their names, and begin to identify their basic
service requirements.
 Learning to understand customers‟ needs will allow bank associates to offer enhanced
services, perhaps lowering customers‟ banking costs and increasing their investment potential.
This could also open up the possibility of increased profits for banks, for when perceived as
more service and customer oriented, they will, in effect, become a useful
and pleasant way to “shop.”
 Keeping the bank with up-to-date technologically are important factors. Modern

equipments, new improved technology should be replaced with the old ones. If the staff inside is
pleasant and well-informed, in an aesthetically pleasing environment, then customer satisfaction
will be high.
 The five-dimensional structure could possibly serve as a meaningful framework for
tracking a bank‟s service quality performance over time and comparing it against the
performance of competitors. Items on some dimensions should be expanded if that is necessary
for reliability.
 Thus, the banking industries must continuously measure and improve these dimensions in
order to gain customers‟ loyalty.
