State Bank of India, country’s largest public sector lender is planning to keep its branches open on Sundays to increase the business. Last year it had taken such initiative by opting to keep all its branches open on October 2 to compensate for a day’s business loss because of technical snag and it was successful with the foot falls and the staff turnout at the branches at that time, in spite of it being a Sunday as well as a national holiday - Gandhi Jayanti.
Through this initiative bank aims to attract the new-age working class customers, who struggle to do banking transactions during the week. SBI had carried out widely appreciated ‘Parivartan’ programme in the early part of this decade, which helped it stay relevant in changing times and maintaining lead in the market.
The bank has registered a surge of 136.91% in its net profit at Rs 3751.56 crore for the quarter under review as compared to Rs 1583.55 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income of the bank has increased by 16.89% at Rs 32415.49 crore for Q1FY13 as compared Rs 27731.67 crore for the corresponding quarter previous year.
