LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

History

 

IndusInd Bank (IBL) was incorporated in Jan. 1994. It was promoted by IndusInd Enterprises and Finance (IEFL) and five Mauritius based companies viz. IndusInd International Holdings (IIHL), IndusInd (Mauritius) Holdings (IMHL), IndusInd (IL), IndusInd Investments (IIL) & DeFive Mauritius Holdings (DFMHL).

 
IBL started as a central forum through which the Non-Resident Indian community could collectively contribute to India's economic and social development. It was the first private sector bank to write cross currency options and has already set up a forex advisory desk to give corporate advice to its clients. It has also entered into a tie-up with Kredietbank, NV, Brussels. The banks cost of funds is high because of its network restricted only to urban areas and dependence on FCNR deposits on which the interest rate is very high. Its main thrust of the bank is on fee-based income due to absence of strong deposit base. 

 
For the past several years, IBL has been sucessfully catering to the needs of a discerning public. As a high-tech bank, it offers an entire gamut of banking services tailored to meet the varying requirements. All the branches of the bank are linked via V-SAT allowing customers instant access to all its branches. This also helps the banks to offer various products such as IndusReach (Anywhere Banking), IndusInstant (Instantaneous Electronic Transfer of Funds), Access to Money (online access to ATM's countrywide) and Internet Banking.  

 
The bank has recently acquired clearing bank status for Mumbai Stock Exchange apart from National & Kolkata Stock Exchange. More-over the bank has set up a retail banking department to give a boost to the retail activities. 
 
Further the board of directors of the bank in Feb. 2001 approved a scheme of amalgamation of IEFL with the bank with effect from March 2001. SBI Capital Markets Limited was appointed to conduct the feasibility study on the merger by the company and based on their recommendation the merger was approved with IEFL. Pursuant to the amalgamation the erstwhile shareholder of IEFL Limited is to be given shares in the ratio of 1:1. During 2001-02 the bank has entered into a money transfer agreement with Moneygram Internal Limited, Colorado USA.  
 
Indusind Information Technology Limited became subsidiary of the bank. The bank is taking steps to reduce its stake to 30% from the present holding of 80% as per the RBI guidelines. 

 
In May 2004, The High Court of Judicature at Bombay, has sanctioned the Merger of Ashok Leyland Finance Limited (ALFL) with effect from June, 2004 and the said merger was also approved by the RBI. Pursuant to the merger, the shareholders of ALFL will be given Nine Equity Shares of the bank for every Four Equity Shares of ALFL held by them. During the year 2004-05 the merger of Ashok Leyland Finance Limited with the bank has become effective. 

 
As on 31st March 2005, the bank has 115 branches, 9 extention counters and 80 off-site ATMs and opened a new representative office at London.

 

Future Outlook 

 
The year 2005-06 has mostly been spent in efforts to lay out a well-planned infrastructure. Such efforts are still continuing and the Bank is now poised to reap the benefits of this infrastructure. Moving ahead the Bank will retain its leadership position in vehicle finance and will enlarge its role in business segments like retail liabilities, retail assets (other than vehicle finance) and corporate banking (especially relating to the SME sector). 

 
The thrust will be on broad basing the retail deposit franchise and reducing the overall cost of deposits, through aggressive and focused growth in low-cost deposits (current accounts and savings bank accounts). For this purpose the Bank will bring to the fore all its resources, like its vastly expanded branch network, its impressive pan-India marketing set-up, the alternate channels like ATMs, Internet Banking, etc. that it has so assiduously built up, the enhanced customer base and the exciting opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling that comes along with it, the array of new products and services that the Bank has introduced and plans to introduce, etc. 
 
The Bank has also increased its focus on fee-based income. Moving ahead the Bank plans to ramp up non-interest income through carefully identified revenue streams like foreign exchange business, investment banking, high-end treasury products, distribution of third-party products like mutual funds and insurance, international remittances, depository business, commodity business, bullion operations, etc. 

 

Tier II Capital 

 
The Bank mobilised Rs. 2171.000 Millions (previous year Rs. 2680 Millions) comprising of Tier II Bonds of Rs.1171.000 Millions and Upper Tier II Bonds of Rs. 1000 Millions. These bonds qualify for classification as Tier II capital for the purpose of working out Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR). 

 
Capital Adequacy 

 
The Capital to Risk-weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of the Bank as at March 31, 2006 was at a comfortable 10.54%, well above the regulatory minimum of 9%. Of this, Tier I CRAR was 6.84%. 

 

Awards and Achievements 

 
The Directors have pleasure in placing before you the various distinctions earned by the Bank during the year 2005-06. 
 
* Rated as `The best among the top 10 private-sector banks' in a survey covering 79 banks conducted by Business Standard in November 2005. Ranked sixth in the overall list, the Bank was also identified the `Most Efficient Bank' among all banks in India

* Honoured with the `Award for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)' at the India Brand Summit 2005, Mumbai. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
Macro Economic Scenario - National 

 
Indian economy maintained its strong performance for the third successive year during 2005-06, largely led by sustained growth in industry and services sectors. According to the advance estimates of the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO), real GDP growth accelerated from 7.5 per cent in 2004-05 to 8.1 per cent in 2005-06. The services sector, which recorded double-digit growth for the second successive year, continued to be the major driver of economic activity, contributing almost three-fourth of overall real GDP growth during 2005-06. The growth in agricultural sector improved to 2.3%, compared to 0.7% in the preceding year. 

 
Industrial production registered strong growth during 2005-06 on the back of robust and broad-based manufacturing activity. CSO has estimated the growth in industrial sector at 8.0 per cent in 2005-06 compared to 7.4 per cent in the previous year. The manufacturing sector recorded a growth of 9.4 per cent in 2005-06 on top of 8.1 per cent rise in the preceding year. Strong and continuing demand both on domestic and export fronts supported by positive business and consumer confidence led to better capacity utilisation and capacity expansion. Production of capital goods and consumer goods industries showed substantial growth. However, the growth in the infrastructure industries decelerated mainly due to decline in the production of crude petroleum and deceleration in growth in finished steel and petroleum refinery products. The intermediate goods sector witnessed a subdued performance largely on account of negative growth in items such as yarn, finished leather, light diesel oil, LPG cylinders, tin metal containers, spun pipes and T.V. picture tubes.  

 
Growth in the services sector was substantial at 10.1 per cent (compared to 10.2 per cent a year ago,) mainly arising from robust growth in trade, hotels, transport and communication, financing, insurance, real estate and business services, and construction. 

 
Macro Economic Scenario - Global 

 
Despite higher oil prices and a number of natural disasters, economic activity in the second half of 2005 and early 2006 was strong and inflationary pressures remained subdued. While the United States is still the main engine of growth among the industrial countries, it is increasingly supported by the ongoing economic developments in Japan and signs of sustained recovery in the Euro area. In emerging Asia, led by India and China, as well as in several developing countries in Latin America, the Middle East and Russia, economic growth has been robust. 
 
The current configuration of good growth, low inflation, abundant liquidity, flat yield curves, lowering of credit risk premia and ever-expanding search for yields has benefited many emerging market economies which have strengthened their macrofundamentals. 

 
The structure of Indian Banking Industry and recent developments 

 
Banks in India are dependent, for their resource requirements, mainly on domestic deposits that are predominantly at fixed rates. Like many other emerging market economies, credit extension by banks in India has increased sharply in recent times. Credit expansion, which was largely in housing and retail loans during the preceding few years now, was broad-based during FY 2005-06. While the industrial sector joined to drive up the credit demand, agriculture also received a higher share in credit growth reflecting various policy initiatives to improve flow of credit to this sector. Within the industrial sector, credit flow to infrastructure industries, especially power, showed a higher growth. Substantial increase in credit off-take was also recorded by food processing, cotton textiles, drugs and pharmaceuticals, gems and jewellery, iron and steel, other metals and metal products, automobiles and engineering industries. The growth in credit to non-agriculture non-industrial sector continued to be led by housing, real estate and personal loans. 

 
Credit growth remained strong for the second successive year and outpaced deposit growth. Bank credit registered a growth of 29.9% on top of the 27.9% growth recorded in the previous year. 

 
The gilt portfolio of commercial banks registered a decline of Rs.155620 Millions as on March 31, 2006 (y-o-y) in contrast to an increase of Rs.424730 Millions (net of the conversion effect) during the previous year. Consequently, commercial banks' holding of Government securities declined to nearly 32 per cent of their net demand and time liabilities (NDTL) as on March 31, 2006 from around 38 per cent a year ago. Banks also liquidated their non-SLR investments (i.e., investments in commercial papers, bonds and debentures) by Rs.128200 Millions. 

 
Industry Outlook - Banking 

 
So far banks have been able to finance the credit boom managing the capital requirements deftly and have a CRAR of 12% that is considerably higher than the 8.0 % norm under Basel I provisions and 9.0% level stipulated by RBI. Banks are required to conform to Basel II norms by end-March 2007, since under these norms, banks are required to adopt at least the Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) for Operational Risk, which would need additional capitalisation. Besides, the banks securitising their loan portfolios will be required to make higher capital provisions in terms of RBI's final guidelines on Securitisation. Further, in view of the rapid growth of bank credit, there may be a need for further capitalisation of banks. 

 
Recent guidelines of RBI, permitting banks to raise capital through instruments like innovative perpetual debt instruments, debt capital instruments, perpetual non-cumulative preference shares and redeemable cumulative preference shares, and also allowing investments by SEBI registered Foreign Institutional Investors and NRIs in the aforementioned debt instruments will help banks in meeting additional capital requirements. 

 
Corporate investment intentions as also the proposals for capital expenditure indicate prospects of substantial growth and consolidation during 2006-07. The growth in aggregate deposits is projected at around Rs.3300000 Millions in 2006-07. Nonfood bank credit including investments in bonds/debentures/shares of public sector undertakings and private corporate sector and commercial paper (CP) is expected to increase by around 20 per cent. It needs to be noted that this projected growth of non-food credit implies a calibrated deceleration from a growth of above 30 per cent, ruling currently. 

 
Opportunities and Threats 

 
Opportunities: Information technology has been the corner stone of recent financial sector reforms aimed at increasing the speed and reliability of financial operations and of initiatives to strengthen the banking sector. Technological facilities are being used globally to supervise banks more effectively and with greater intensity than ever before. Increasing emphasis is being given to technology-aided, non-intrusive and focused supervision with a view to prevent frauds and to nip in bud the origin of disturbances and instabilities. Centralised Database Management System (CDBMS) and the Enterprise Knowledge Management System provide the requisite decision making capabilities at the desktop of officials. 

 
As part of the initiative to strengthen the banking sector in the country, the Reserve Bank has been actively promoting the establishment of a Credit Information Bureau as a joint venture in private sector. This is another attempt to exploit technology to monitor assets and to provide instantaneous information on defaulters to the participants without getting into legal hassles and thereby facilitating improvement of the non-performing asset position of banks and financial institutions. The Vision Document for Payment and Settlement Systems, 2005-2008 envisages establishment of an institutional structure owned by banks and other financial institutions for retail payment systems. 

 
Retail thrust in banking business is a major opportunity for the Indian financial sector in general and banks in particular. The vast potential of the retail segment encompasses distribution of insurance and mutual funds products, credit and debit cards, housing loans, personal finance solutions including vehicle loans and the like.  
 
Threats: Despite the fact that firewalls and other systemic access controls do provide high levels of data security, the banking industry continues to face threat to electronic data, which is vulnerable to unauthorised access and consequent damage, destruction or pilferage. 

 
In recent years, prevention of money laundering has assumed great significance in international financial transactions. In this context, in November 2004 the Reserve Bank revised the guidelines on `Know The Customer' (KYC) in line with the recommendations made by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on standards for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating Financing of Terrorism (CFT). The need to understand and manage money laundering to safeguard reputation risk, operational risk and legal risk to an organization has never been greater than today. 

 
Risks and containment measures 

 
The persistence of global imbalances and high oil prices with a significant permanent component does cause concern. Furthermore, credit growth has recently been extremely strong possibly impacting credit quality, while money-supply is overshooting the anticipated trajectory and strong investment demand coupled with high oil prices is turning the current account surplus into a deficit, though modest and manageable through normal capital flows. These developments pose new challenges to maintaining price and financial stability while ensuring momentum in growth. Consequently, several measures have been announced to contain and manage the downside risks, in the Mid-Term Review of Annual Policy Statement for the year 2005-06, released on October 25, 2005.

Genesis

IndusInd Bank derives its name and inspiration from the Indus Valley civilisation - a culture described by National Geographic as 'one of the greatest of the ancient world' combining a spirit of innovation with sound business and trade practices.

Mr. Srichand P. Hinduja, a leading Non-Resident Indian businessman and head of the Hinduja Group, conceived the vision of IndusInd Bank - the first of the new-generation private banks in India - and through collective contributions from the NRI community towards India's economic and social development, brought our Bank into being.

The Bank, formally inaugurated in April 1994 by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime Minister of India who was then the country’s Finance Minister, started with a capital base of Rs.1,000 million (USD 32 million at the prevailing exchange rate), of which Rs.600 million was raised through private placement from Indian Residents while the balance Rs.400 million (USD 13 million) was contributed by Non-Resident Indians.

A NEW ERA

The merger with the Bank in June 2004 of Ashok Leyland Finance Limited, among the largest leasing finance and hire purchase companies in India, set in motion a process of consolidation through the combined customer base of the merged entity and its increased geographical penetration.  IndusInd Bank has become one of the fastest-growing banks in the Indian banking sector today with its branch network expanding from 61 as on March 31, 2004 to 137 as on March 31, 2006 – reflecting an increase in excess of 125% in 24 months.  The Bank has approximately 150 ATMs of its own, and has concluded multilateral arrangements with other banks with a total network of 15,000 ATM outlets.  All the outlets of the Bank, including its branches and ATMs, are connected via satellite to its central database that operates on the latest version of IBM’s AS400-720 series hardware and Midas Kapiti (now, Misys) software.

IndusInd Bank’s broad lines of business include Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Treasury and Foreign Exchange, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Non-Resident Indian (NRI) / High Networth Individual (HNI) Banking, and (through a subsidiary) Information Technology.

IndusInd Bank provides multi-channel facilities including ATMs, Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Phone Banking, Multi-city Banking and International Debit Cards.  It was one of the first banks to become a part of RBI’s Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system.  It has implemented an enterprise-wide risk management system encompassing global best practices in the area of Risk Management, with help from KPMG.  This has enabled the Bank to remain in the forefront in complying with the requirements of Basel II.  It is the first bank in India to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Corporate Office and its entire network of branches.

With its roots in Indian tradition and emphasis on customer care, IndusInd Bank’s service philosophy is well reflected in the communication tagline “We Care… Dil Se”.
