ICICI to institutional investors in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2002. ICICI was formed in 1955 at the initiative of the World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian
industry. The principal objective was to create a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to Indian businesses. In the 1990s, ICICI transformed its business from a development financial institution offering only project finance to a diversified financial services group offering a wide variety of products and services, both directly and through a number of subsidiaries and affiliates like ICICI Bank. In 1999, ICICI become the first Indian company and the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE. After consideration of various corporate structuring alternatives in the context of the emerging competitive scenario in the Indian banking industry, and the move towards universal banking, the managements of ICICI and ICICI Bank formed the view that the merger of ICICI with ICICI Bank would be the optimal strategic alternative for both entities, and would create the optimal legal structure for the ICICI group's universal banking strategy. The merger would enhance value for ICICI shareholders through the merged entity's access to low-cost deposits, greater opportunities for earning fee-based income and the ability to participate in the payments system and provide transaction-banking services. The merger would enhance value for ICICI Bank shareholders through a large capital base and scale of operations, seamless access to ICICI's strong corporate relationships built up over five decades, entry into new business segments, higher market share in various business segments, particularly fee-based services, and access to the vast talent pool of ICICI and its subsidiaries. In October 2001, the Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the merger of ICICI and two of its wholly owned retail finance subsidiaries, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, with ICICI Bank. The merger was approved by shareholders of ICICI and ICICI Bank in January 2002, by the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad in March 2002, and by the High Court of Judicature at Mumbai and the Reserve Bank of India in April Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

The employers have better things to do with their time than calculating payroll. Getting salary cheques out on time is not only expected, but also a positive reflection on their company. ACCURACY: Even with the simplest of payrolls, it's easy to make mistakes. Without current and ongoing training in payroll compliance, the company could face stiff penalties and unhappy employees to boot. PRIVACY: It can be embarrassing and detrimental to morale if the wrong eyes fall on the salary cheques. Confidentiality is much easier to maintain when payroll is outsourced, particularly when the employees use direct credit.
MIS: Payroll companies offer a wide array of standard reports that are informative and easy to read. Keep the records neat and concise with these invaluable reports. FLEXIBILITY: As the business changes, so do the payroll needs. Don't get bogged down with the nuts and bolts of personnel changes. Leave the details to an expert while you focus on your business.

RECOMMENDATIONS Have simple documentation for opening the Salary Accounts and adopt faster processes. Update the concerned authorized signatory lists. Give an extension accidental policy period for the salaried employees. Try to retain the customers by providing them better services. ICICI Bank should make some arrangements so that small problems can be solved locally i.e. Presently small request from the customer side has to be sent to Regional Office to make small changes and it takes lot of time.
