Dear David,
Many thanks for the info collated.Numbers always do not potray the truth.What’s important is the Customer satisfaction- be it a savings bank holder or an SME. In India from my experience large Industrial houses get what they want and on their terms from the Banks(both Private and Public Sector)at the cost of small and medium industrialists/customers of the Bank.Some of the so called Leading Public Sector Banks are full of incompetent and arrogant officers.

I am a doctoral student carrying out my study on retail banking innovations. I just wanted to know whether your “INDIA’S TOP BANKS – 2009″ REPORT is out ? I checked your website but it still shows the report for the year 2008. By wnat date (approx.) it will be available ?
