ABSTRACT
An information system is comprised of all the components that collect, manipulate, and disseminate data or information. It usually includes hardware, software, people, communications systems such as telephone lines, and the data itself. The activities involved include inputing data, processing of data into information, storage of data and information, and the production of outputs such as management reports.
MIS creates an evolution in whole world in every business and so in banking system. Organizations have been developing and implementing computer-based management information systems (MIS) at an increasing rate for the last 35 years. However, evidence indicates that many computer-based MIS are not as successful as they should be and many may be considered failures.
There has been much research to investigate organizational factors, individual differences, user involvement and their relationship to MIS success, and in particular, one indicator of MIS success, user information satisfaction (UIS). Little attention, however, has been paid to whether UIS for any particular MIS varies for users from different organization functions and different management levels within an organization.
This paper reports the results of a field study of MIS in ICICI Bank. ICICI bank has successfully utilised its MIS in providing banking products to its customers and also in improving its organisational efficiency. It is one of the few banks which adapts quickly to the changing environment and keeps pace with the ever changing technology.

Computer hardware and software
•
Manual procedures
•
Models for analysis , planning , control and decision making

APPLICATIONS OF MIS With computers being as ubiquitous as they are today, there's hardly any large business that does not rely extensively on their IT systems. However, there are several specific fields in which MIS has become invaluable.
* STRATEGY SUPPORT While computers cannot create business strategies by themselves they can assist management in understanding the effects of their strategies, and help enable effective decision-making. MIS systems can be used to transform data into information useful for decision making. Computers can provide financial statements and performance reports to assist in the planning, monitoring and implementation of strategy. MIS systems provide a valuable function in that they can collate into coherent reports unmanageable volumes of data that would otherwise be broadly useless to decision makers. By studying these reports decision-makers can identify patterns and trends that would have remained unseen if the raw data were consulted manually. MIS systems can also use these raw data to run simulations – hypothetical scenarios that answer a range of ‘what if’ questions regarding alterations in strategy. For instance, MIS systems can provide predictions about the effect on sales that an alteration in price would have on a product. These Decision Support Systems (DSS) enable more informed decision making within an enterprise than would be possible without MIS systems.
* DATA PROCESSING Not only do MIS systems allow for the collation of vast amounts of business data, but they also provide a valuable time saving benefit to the workforce. Where in the past business information had to be manually processed for filing and analysis it can now be entered quickly and easily onto a computer by a data processor, allowing for faster decision making and quicker reflexes for the enterprise as a whole.

BANKING INDUSTRY The banking industry was once a simple and reliable business that took deposits from investors at a lower rate and loaned it out to the borrowers at a higher rate. However deregulation and technology led to a revolution in the Banking Industry that saw it transformed. Banks have become global industrial power houses that have created ever more complex products that use risk and securitisation in models that only PhD students can understand. Through technological development, banking services have become available 24*7, 365 days a year, through ATMs, Online Banking Facilities, ECS where everything from stock to currency futures contracts can be traded.
The Banking Industry at its core provides access to credit. In the lenders case, this includes access to their own savings and investments, and their interest payments on those amounts. In the case of borrowers, it includes access to loan for the creditworthy, at a competitive interest rate.
Banking services include transactional services such as verification of account details, account balance details and the transfer of funds, as well as the advisory services that aid individuals and institutions to properly plan and manage their finances. Online Banking channels have become pivotal in the last decade.
A simple example of MIS in the banking sector: Online bill pay at a bank also qualifies as a management information system — when a bill is scheduled to be paid, the user has provided information for the system to act against. The management information system then processes the payment when the due date approaches. The automated action taken by the online system is to pay the bill as requested. Since the bills within an online bill pay system can be scheduled to be automatically paid month after month, the user is not required to provide further information. Many times, the
7|Page
bill pay system will also produce an email for the user to let him know that the action has occurred and what the outcome of the action was.
Management information systems typically have their own staff whose function it is to maintain existing systems and implement new technologies within a company. These positions are often highly specialized, allowing a team of people to focus on different areas within the computer system. In recent years, colleges and universities have begun offering entire programs devoted to management information systems. In these programs, students learn how to manage large interconnected computer systems and troubleshoot the automation of these management information systems.

OBJECTIVES The main objective of the study is to gain an insight on the Information System that is practiced at ICICI Bank. It is said that, “There is no better way to learn, than learning something practically (on field)”. We chose to conduct our study at ICICI Bank, Teynampet Branch. With the growing need and demand to integrate and manage information effectively and efficiently, as management students, it has become very essential for us to get wellversed with the MIS implemented and gain maximum leverage. The MIS of ICICI Bank whose branches are so well-spread becomes a pivotal point of study as it caters to many segments of the society (urban and rural) and offering a diversified portfolio of services like credit cards, loans, bank accounts, etc... Thus, it becomes absolutely essential for a bank to maintain an accurate mass record of all transactions of every individual or corporate. One cannot ignore the fact that every record / data should have a reliable back-up in case of any uncertainty like ‘System Crashing’, ‘Virus Affected’, etc... or out-dated Software/Hardware or unavailability of skilled workforce.
The objectives of conducting the study also include – a) Better-relate to our theoretical knowledge. b)
Better understanding of a renowned company which uses MIS extensively and forms a
part of its core activities, without the efficient management of which it would become extremely difficult to sustain and excel. c)
Gain knowledge on the different types of MIS used in various departments for diverse
activities appropriately. d) The challenges faced by an organisation in terms of confidentiality, faulty or repetition of work, system crash, etc... and how do they deal with it. e) Cost structure and maintenance, switching costs, terms, etc...

Computing Type:In ICICI bank, they are using client/server network because it is accessible and the employees easily share the data and this network is cheaper than others and this is easily maintainable and manageable. All the data save in main server or HUB and employees can easily access it. This type of computing system provides an easy access and efficient flow of data, which increase the functionality of organization.
ORGANIZATION TRANSACTION PROCESSING SYSTEM: Transaction Processing System: A Transaction Processing System (TPS) is a type of information system. TPSs collect, store, modify, and retrieve the transactions of an organization. A transaction is an event that generates or modifies data that is eventually stored in an information system. From a technical perspective, a Transaction Processing System (or Transaction Processing Monitor) monitors transaction programs, a special kind of programs. The essence of a transaction program is that it manages data that must be left in a consistent state.
TPS in ICICI bank : Effective transaction processing system is working in ICICI bank that offer enterprise the means to rapidly process transactions to ensure the smooth flow of data and the progression of processes throughout the enterprise.
Payroll TPS In ICICI Bank payroll TPS is designed to get information and record of the employ and then to calculate his/her annual earning. It gets information about the employee from the employee’s department and from general ledger and send it to payroll TPS from where it links that information with the previous record and prepare a report which is forwarded to management. Management takes notice the “LN” record of the employee’s efficiency to work and may declare added bonus or 17 | P a g e
other incentive. This report is checked and approved by the branch manager after which check is issued to the employee. And when that check is cashed, the record is updated in the general ledger as well as the master payroll (HUB). Emplo yee Data

For example, when a customer withdraws a sum of money from his or her account the transactions are processed and the account balance updated as soon as possible, allowing both the bank and customer to keep track of funds. The new transaction is send to LN. The LN enters the HUB where the specified file is accessed. The updates are made entered there and finally the update is done.

Management information system: Relationship of MIS with TPS: MIS reports and summarizes the organization’s basic operations and these reports come from the basic transition processing systems. In case of our organization the TPS’s of ATM Cards, Payroll and Customer identification etc. provide the basic information about the organization’s activities. These activities are then summarized in the form of reports for the manager so that they can check whether the firm is working properly or not. If there are some flaws then they take control measures to fix those flaws.

ICICI bank introducing new mobile payment method ICICI Bank is in advanced stages of beta testing a new method of using mobile phones to make payments. The service is expected to be fully launched in just three months. A pilot study involving 500 customers of ICICI Bank is currently being conducted at various locations. If this mobile payment method is implemented, users can swipe their mobile phone and conduct various transactions, which were earlier possible using the credit cards. Atom Technologies, a subsidiary of the BSE-listed Financial Technologies (India) Ltd (FTIL), which runs the Multi Commodity Exchange of India has innovated a technology, which will enable mobile payments. Atom card- a product developed by the company and the accompanying software can embed a user's credit card data, over-the air like SMS into his mobile phone. A 2-D bar code will store this credit card detail, which will be unreadable for the user and will keep the credit card details safe even when the mobile phone is stolen or lost. Whenever, the mobile phone user has to make a payment he will have to provide his PIN details. After embedding the credit card details into the mobile phone, the instrument can be used in place of credit cards. Purchases can be made at a merchant establishment, which has the requisite software to implement the transaction. The company has called this swiping model as 'optical payment' and has received a patent in US for this payment mode. A simple webcam is required to read the 2-D bar code and can be implemented at merchant establishments at a very low cost. The software required to implement mobile transactions will be provided free of cost to merchants, banks and customers by Atom. However, this technology will be available for JAVA enabled phones at present. Many other companies like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications and C-Sam were also looking at offering mobile commerce solutions, but the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is yet to give its clearance for a mobile wallet service in India.
ELECTRONIC CLEARING SERVICE (ECS CREDIT) 25 | P a g e
ECS Credit is an electronic clearing system that facilitates paperless transaction through an offline system. ICIC Bank facilitates ECS Credit at all ECS designated locations. We accept the electronic file and arrange abstention of settlement date (date of credit to beneficiary account) from RBI/SBI/Local Clearing House as the case may be. The fund gets debited from a centralized account and credit is accorded to the respective beneficiaries as per settlement cycle. A detailed MIS about the transactions is provided to the customer.
NEFT To establish an Electronic Funds Transfer System to facilitate an efficient, secure, economical, reliable and expeditious system of funds transfer and clearing in the banking sector throughout India. The customer willing to avail the NEFT facility offered by us shall submit an "NEFT Application Form" authorising the sending bank to debit the sender's account and transfer funds to the beneficiary specified in the NEFT Application Form. The Beneficiary's account will be credited on the same day by crediting the specified account of the beneficiary or otherwise placing funds at the disposal of the beneficiary.
REAL TIME GROSS SETTLEMENT (RTGS) RTGS System is a payment settlement system that minimises the credit risk in the prevalent cheque clearing system. Under RTGS the funds are settled on a near real time basis across Banks in different locations. Bank offers this immediate electronic fund transfer facility to RTGS enabled bank branches across through the country its designated RTGS enabled locations.

LIMITATIONS The study conducted, imparted a fair knowledge about the integrated Information System of ICICI Bank. The limitations of the study include – Security
(Confidentiality) – Since banks keep most of their operations
confidential for security reasons, it was difficult to assemble detailed information from authoritative representatives. Every bank is known to exercise the highest degree of confidentiality when it comes to its information, systems, processes, procedures, people, accounts and clients. This accounts to the fact that a bank would refrain from chipping in their core activities/processes/procedures. Time
Factor – Every bank indulges in diverse activities and services which
make use of various types of IS. Thus, in such a short span it was easier said than done to gather enough information pertaining to every aspect of the bank. The bank staff were pre-occupied with their schedules at most times and hence were unable to share more information about the IS of their company. Knowledge
– As management students our depth of knowledge was limited to a
shorter range as exercised by the professional bank officials and trained back-end workforce. It was a challenge for us to understand and report the study conducted by us. Timings
– Since the bank timings did not comply with that of ours, one has to
adjust to their schedule. Until mid afternoon they are busy attending their customers and post lunch session comprises of the back-end activities, processing activities and updating master files. System
Hangover – ICICI Bank often faces a ‘System Crash Crisis’. This was
one of their challenge – to put up with their unhappy customers, who are kept waiting until their integrated system is fixed. During these times, in the chaotic atmosphere, one would not like to entertain interns.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION ICICI bank has successfully utilised its MIS in providing banking products to its customers and also in improving its organisational efficiency. It is one of the few banks which adapts quickly to the changing environment and keeps pace with the ever changing technology. The dramatic events ushering in the new century—from globalization and a final, major wave of consolidation to regulatory changes and technology breakthroughs—are compelling the bank to turn its focus toward efficiency and country relationship development. MIS has helped the bank in the following ways:
Operational effectiveness, internal efficiency.
Collaborative tools to help create, cultivate, and disseminate knowledge.
Accessibility to data, information, and knowledge.
The ability to easily search across and retrieve relevant information
A project management system based on complete project lifecycle It is very crucial for the bank to continuously upgrade its MIS as the next 10 years
will be defined by accelerated expansion of business as the bank is growing nationally and globally. It has to concentrate in improving its process efficiency to serve its customer better than its competitors. Today’s banking products are getting complex every day and there is serious threat of leakage of customer’s confidential information to anti social elements with advent of technology. This is one of the major issues that banks face today.
Inspite of all these challenges, management information system has been a boon to ICICI bank. The bank has gained tremendous lead over its competitors who lagged behind in incorporating MIS in their organisations. Today, ICICI bank is one of the largest private sector banks in India, and MIS has played a crucial role in giving it a competitive advantage. Though the current MIS in the bank is highly beneficial, the bank is very keen on researching new avenues to improve its MIS system for better efficiency in its operations and to continue to serve its customers effectively. 31 | P a g e
