The Indian banking has seen momentous changes in the post-independence era. It has witnessed a remarkable shift in its operating environment during the last decade. Various reform measures, both qualitative and quantitative, were introduced with an objective to revitalize Indian banking sector and to meet the future challenges. Every aspect of the functioning of the Indian banking industry, be it a customer service, resource mobilization, credit management, asset - liability management, investments, human resource development, and forex management are undergoing dramatic changes with the reforms gathering the momentum and speed. Several innovative IT - based services such as Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), electronic fund transfer (EFT), anywhere - anytime banking, smart cards, internet banking etc. are no longer alien concepts to Indian banking customers (Rawani and Gupta, 2000). The market has changed drastically and has become largely customer centric. From sellers market the banks have been forced to operate in the buyer's market. The change has made the customer a king.
