  • Abstract:
  • The digitization of banking has revolutionized service delivery across India, especially in rural and semi-urban areas. This research investigates customer satisfaction with e-banking services in two leading Indian banks: Punjab National Bank (PNB), a public sector bank, and AXIS Bank, a private sector counterpart. The study was conducted in the Fazilka district of Punjab and utilizes the SERVQUAL and e-SERVQUAL models to evaluate service quality dimensions including reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, security, and ease of use. Data from 400 customers (200 from each bank) was collected via structured questionnaires. The analysis reveals that while AXIS Bank excels in responsiveness and user interface design, PNB is perceived as more reliable and trustworthy, especially among rural customers. Recommendations are proposed to bridge service quality gaps and enhance customer satisfaction.
