Banking industry has evolved into one of the most competitive industry in India after the economic liberalization and the entry of new private sector banks in the market. The public sector banks have been feeling the crunch to maintain their business and live up to the expectation of the customers for the last few years. Service quality is the most important factor which influences the customer retention and acquisition of new business. The service quality gap or the gap between the customer expectation and customer perception of service plays the pivotal role in customer attrition and loss of business. In this context every segment of customers and their perception on service quality is important. A stratified convenience sampling was done with a total sample size of 60. The findings show that empathy and responsiveness are the most important dimensions as far this segment of customers is concerned. The tangibility is the least important dimension which influences the segment of customers. The results of this study can help the management to formulate strategies to satisfy this segment by improving on human dimensions like empathy and responsiveness by imparting suitable trainings.
