    In the new millennium, one of the important challenges faced by majority of banking organizations of any country which is following the principles of market economy is to come up to the expectations of the customers, be it on the front of fund based business or fee based business.

Probably, the biggest challenge of any public sector bank of India in the age of intensified competition is to retain the existing customers by delivering quality service to the maximum possible extent after understanding the ever changing priorities and aspirations of its customers. The opening up of the economy and ever changing business environment in general and the banking sector in particular virtually compelled public sector banks to give up their elephantine indifference to the aspirations and priorities of customers and United Bank of India is no exception to this. It is through improving the service quality, a bank attempts to satisfy its customers and compete with its competitors as well as develop its image in the minds of existing and potential customers.
