LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

HDFC Bank was incorporated in August 1994 and promoted by Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC), India's premier housing finance company which also enjoys an impeccable track record in India as well as in international markets. HDFC was amongst the first to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a bank in the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalisation of the Indian Banking Industry. The Bank commenced operations as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995. 

 
HDFC Bank was the first Bank to launch an International Debit Card in association with VISA (Visa Electron). The Bank launched its Credit Card business in late 2001. 

 
HDFC Bank is providing service in 228 cities with a branch network of 535 at the end of financial year 2005-06 . Its ATM network has risen to 1323 at the end of FY 2005-06 as against 1147 in the previous year and it has over 46000 Point of Sale (POS) Terminals at various merchant outlets. Over 100 cities are covered under Phone Banking.  

 
HDFC Bank concentrates on three key business segments - Wholesale Banking Services, Retail Banking Services, Treasury. It has entered the banking consortia of over 50 corporates for providing working capital finance, trade services, corporate finance and merchant banking. It is also providing sophisticated product structures, sound advice and fine pricing mainly in areas of foreign exchange and derivatives, money markets and debt trading and equity research through its state-of-the-art dealing room. With its sophisticated and customer friendly facilities & services including multi-branch access, ATMs, net banking & cluster deposits and is well positioned to establish a significant niche for itself in retail banking.

 
 In Feb. 2000, Times Bank was amalgamated with HDFC bank. This was an important milestone in the history of bank as well as indian banking sector, being the first merger of two private sector banks. This adds significant value to bank in terms of increased branch network, expanded geographic reach, enhanced customer base, skilled manpower, etc. 

 
Recently HDFC Bank & Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) form alliance for online facility for payment of insurance premium. With this facility, LIC policy holders can now pay their insurance premiums through HDFC Bank's on-line payment facility. HDFCBK has become the first private sector bank to be authorised by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) as well as the RBI to accept direct taxes, commencing April 01, 2001. The taxes will be accepted at specified branches of the bank. Also it has announced a strategic tie-up with a Bangalore-based business solutions software developer Tally Solutions Pvt (TSPL) for developing and offering products and services facilitating on-line accounting and banking services to SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). 

 
In 2001-02 the bank was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of ADS. Each ADS represents 3 equity shares. Consequent to the issue, the paid up capital of the Bank has increased by Rs.374.200 millions.  


The bank has received many awards to its credit, 'Best Local Bank in India - 2003' by Finance Asia, 'Best Domestic Bank in India Region' in The Asset Triple A Country Awards 2003. Apart from this, the bank has rated 'Best Bank in India in 2003' by Business Today, 'Best Bank in the Private Sector' for the year 2003 in the Outlook Express Awards, 'Best New Private Sector Bank 2003' by the Financial Express in the FE-Ernst & Young Best Bank's survey 2003.

DIVIDEND: 
 
The Bank's dividend policy is based on the need to balance the twin objectives of appropriately rewarding shareholders with cash dividends and of retaining capital to maintain a healthy capital adequacy ratio to support future growth. In line with this policy and in recognition of the healthy performance during 2005-06, the directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 55% for the year ended March 31, 2006 as against 45% for the year ended March 31, 2005, which included a special one-time dividend of 5% in recognition of the Bank having completed 10 years. This dividend shall be subject to tax on dividend to be paid by the Bank but will be tax-free in the hands of the members. 

 
AWARDS: 
 
The Bank continued to receive awards and gain recognition from various leading domestic and international publications during 2005-06. The Bank was selected as the 'Best Bank in India' in the Business Today-KPMG Survey of the Best Banks in India. This is a unique achievement in as much as this is the third year in a row that the Bank has secured the top spot. Asiamoney Awards selected the Bank as 'Best Domestic Commercial Bank', Best Domestic Provider for Local Currency Products' and 'Best Cash Management Bank India'. Hong Kong-based Finance Asia magazine selected the Bank as 'Best Bank in India'. Economic Times Awarded the Bank 'Company of the Year' Award for Corporate Excellence 2004-05. The Asset magazine named the Bank 'Best Cash Management Bank' and 'Best Trade Finance Bank' in India, in 2006. The Economic Times - Avaya Global Connect Customer Responsiveness Awards 2005 named the Bank 'Most Customer Responsive Company - Banking and Financial Services'. The Bank has also been named 'Best Domestic Bank in India' in The Asset Triple A Country Awards 2005. 


ADDITIONAL CAPITAL: 

 
During the year under report, 3.27 millions shares were allotted to the employees of the Bank pursuant to the exercise of options under the Employee Stock Option Scheme of the Bank. 

 
During the year, the Bank raised Rs.1,202.000 millions subordinated debt at an annualised coupon ranging between 7.5% to 8.6% and having a maturity ranging from 9 to 10 years. The debt is subordinated to present and future senior indebtness of the Bank and qualifies as Tier 2 capital under RBI's guidelines for assessing capital adequacy. 

 

Financial Performance: 


The overall performance during the financial year 2005-06 remained healthy with total net revenues (net interest income plus other income) increasing by 51.1% to Rs.36698.000 millions from Rs.24293.000 million in 2004-05. The revenue growth was driven principally by an increase in net interest income and commission income. Net interest income grew by 43.2% primarily due to increase in the average balance sheet size by 39.4%. Net interest margin increased from 3.9% to 4.0%. Average cost of deposits increased by around 10 basis points given the rise in the time deposit interest rates due to tight liquidity conditions in the banking system. This was more than offset by increase in average yield on assets due to a higher proportion of retail loans and a change in product mix towards higher yielding loan products. 

 
The other income (non-interest revenue) increased by 72.6% to Rs.11240.000 millions primarily due to commission income. In 2005-06, commission income increased by 72.7% to Rs.10450.000 millions with the main drivers being commission from distribution of third party mutual funds and insurance, fees on debit/credit cards and point-of-sale (POS) terminals and transactional charges/fees on deposit and depository (custody) accounts. Due to sharp increase in short term yields in the debt market in March 2006, the Bank incurred net losses on sale/revaluation of investments of Rs. 521.000 millions primarily on account of marked-to-market losses on non-SLR investments. Foreign exchange and derivatives revenues were Rs. 1186.000 millions which largely related to customer transactions. 

 
Operating (non-interest) expenses increased from Rs. 10854.000 millions in 2004-05 to Rs.16911.000 millions in 2005-06, due to significant expansion of retail loan products and the credit card business. Staff expenses accounted for 28.8% of non-interest expenses in 2005-06 as against 25.5% in 2004-05, due to an increase in average staff strength from 7479 to 11791 and also due to increase in average salary levels. Loan loss provisions increased from Rs.1762.000 millions to Rs.4798.000 millions in 2005-06, primarily driven by an increase in loan loss provisions for retail loan product programs reflecting a balance of risk and returns due to a change in product mix. Provision for amortisation of investments was Rs. 2452.000 millions, principally due to the amortisation of the premium for the SLR investments in the 'Held to Maturity' category. 

 
Net profit increased by 30.8% from Rs.6656.000 millions in 2004-05 to Rs.8708.000 millions in 2005-06. Return on average net worth was lower at 17.5% from the previous year figure of 20.4% primarily due to the full year impact of expanded capital. The bank's basic earning per share increased from Rs.22.92 to Rs.27.92 per equity share. The diluted earnings was Rs.26.33 per equity share in 2005-06. 

 
During 2005-06, the Bank's total balance sheet size increased by 42.9% to Rs.735060.000 millions. Total Deposits increased by 53.5% from Rs.363540.000 millions (as of March 31, 2005) to Rs.557970.000 millions (as of March 31, 2006). Savings account deposits at Rs.161860.000 millions and current account deposits at Rs.147520.000 millions, together accounted for approximately 55.4% of total deposits as of March 31, 2006. During 2005-06, gross advances grew by 48.1% to Rs.384130.000 millions. This was driven by a growth of 79.7% in retail advances to Rs.212310.000 millions, and an increase of 21.7% in wholesale advances to Rs.171820.000millions. One of the reasons for the high growth rate in retail loans was that the quantum of retail loans securitised (sold) during the year was less than half of the Rs.48000.000 millions sold during the previous year. The bank's core customer assets (advances plus credit substitutes like commercial paper, corporate bonds etc.) increased by 44.9% to Rs.389920.000 millions in March 2006. In addition, the bank held Rs.44570.000 millions of investments in mortgage backed and asset backed securities where the underlying assets were primarily home loan and commercial vehicle/car loan receivables. Total customer assets (including securitisation investments) were therefore Rs.434490.000 millions as of March 31, 2006
