ABSTRACT
India’s banking sector, pivotal to economic growth, faces intense competition, making service quality a critical determinant of customer satisfaction and loyalty. This study employs the SERVQUAL model to assess customer perceptions across five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. A survey of 400 urban customers in Chennai city, complemented by secondary data, reveals private banks outperform public sector banks (PSBs) in responsiveness (M=4.2 vs. 3.1, p<0.01) and empathy (M=4.0 vs. 3.0, p<0.01). Regression analysis indicates service quality accounts for 60% of satisfaction variance (R²=0.60, p<0.01), with responsiveness and empathy as key predictors. PSBs lag in digital integration and staff empathy, necessitating infrastructure upgrades and training. This research offers actionable insights for banks and contributes to service quality literature in emerging markets.
