LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

History:

 

Subject was incorporated in Jan. 1994. It was promoted by IndusInd Enterprises and Finance (IEFL) and five Mauritius based company’s viz. IndusInd International Holdings (IIHL), IndusInd (Mauritius) Holdings (IMHL), IndusInd (IL), IndusInd Investments (IIL) and DeFive Mauritius Holdings (DFMHL).

 
Subject 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.

 
Subject has been successfully 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 customer’s instant access to all its branches. This also helps the banks to offer various products such as IndusReach (Anywhere Banking), Indus Instant (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 and 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. 

 

Financial Performance:

 

The business of the Bank grew during the year both in deposits and advances. This year the focus of the Bank was on improving the fee-based income for which various initiatives have been taken by the Bank.

 

The operating profit was, however, lower at Rs.2056.700 Millions the year under review as against Rs.2232.900 Millions in the previous year mainly due to hardening of interest rates, the Bank's decision not to undertake securitisation business (in the previous year Bank booked a profit of Rs.418.400 Millions on account of securitisation), and higher operating expenses on expanded branch network which rose to 170 branches with the opening of 33 new branches.

 

The Bank's Net Profit after considering necessary provisions and contingencies and all expenses was higher at Rs.682.200 Millions as against Rs.368.200 Millions previous year (an increase of 85.28%) on account of lower provisions and contingencies in the current year as against previous year. The Return on Assets (ROA) for the year was 0.34% as compared to 0.22% in the previous year.

 

 

Future Outlook:

 

The year 2006-07 the Bank continued its endeavours for strengthening its network and infrastructure. There are already indications of benefits arising from the improved infrastructure. In the ensuing year, while the Bank will endeavour to retain its leadership position in vehicle finance (wherein higher yield loans are replacing lower yield ones), the thrust will be on higher growth in other business segments like retail liabilities, other retail assets and SME sector.

 

The organizational efforts will be directed towards achieving high growth in current accounts and savings accounts for meeting the objective of increasing the share of and broad basing the retail deposit franchise and thus reducing the overall cost of deposits. This task will be accomplished by leveraging on the expanded branch network, the pan-India marketing setup, and through alternate channels like ATMs, Internet Banking, etc. This strengthened infrastructure will help in tapping the opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling available with the expanded customer base. For optimal realization of this potential, the Bank has introduced and has in pipelined various new products and services.

 

The Bank's focus on fee-based income has paid dividends. Moving ahead, the Bank plans to upscale non-interest income through lucrative 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. For this purpose the Bank is looking at several avenues like alliances and tie-ups with other service providers, setting up of subsidiaries, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Macro Economic Scenario - National

 

The Indian economy maintained its strong performance for the fourth successive year, recording a real GDP growth rate of 9.2% in 2006-07, the second highest growth rate achieved since independence. This growth was largely driven by buoyancy in the industry and services sectors, which grew by 10% and 11% respectively. The services sector continued to contribute almost three-fourths of the overall GDP growth during the year. The growth in agricultural sector was, however, lower at 2.7%. The exports sector that grew by 20.9% also had a significant contribution in the growth momentum. The broad based nature of the growth points towards the sustainability of the growth rate. The increase in the savings and investment rate also reinforces the sustainability of this growth level.  The Indian economy swelled to one trillion US dollars, only the twelfth nation to reach the milestone.

 

Inflation, with its roots in supply-side factors, especially in respect of primary articles and manufactured goods, was accompanied by buoyant growth of money and credit in the last two years. Liquidity conditions were largely comfortable upto November 2006. the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) breaching the 6.5% level. However, RBI measures to quell inflationary expectations and to contain credit growth succeeded in reining in inflation at 5.74% by the end of the year.

 

Bank deposit rates increased by 100-300 basis points during the year across different maturities in tandem with rising interest rates following several measures taken by RBI to check inflation and regulate credit flow to sensitive sectors without disrupting credit support for investment.

 

Capital markets remained buoyant during the year, with benchmark stock indices touching their all-time highs and the market capitalization rising to 91% of GDP.

 

 

Macro Economic Scenario – Global

 

The world economy expanded strongly for the fourth year, and in a broad based manner. While the US economy showed signs of slowing down, the momentum of growth in Europe and Japan continued unabated. Robust growth in China and India led the strong macroeconomic performance of Asia and other emerging and developing countries.

 

Availability of financial resources, generally benign crude oil prices, strong commodity prices and abundant global liquidity were the major factors that pushed growth in the emerging market economies.

 

Monetary policy authorities the world over are, by and large, inclined to regard inflation as a major global risk, and remain watchful about the emergence of excessive volatility in asset prices, underpricing of risks (including geopolitical risks) and disturbed conditions in currency markets.

 

 

The structure of Indian Banking Industry and recent developments

 

Banks in India are dependent, for their resource requirements, largely on domestic deposits that are predominantly at fixed rates. Credit expansion continued to be broad based during the year. While the industrial sector fuelled the credit demand, agriculture also received a higher share in credit growth reflecting various policy initiatives to enhance the flow of credit to this sector.

 

Year-on-year growth in bank credit was robust at 28% on top of 31.8% in the previous year, while year-on-year deposit growth of scheduled commercial banks rose to 23% as against 18.1% in the previous year.

 

Commercial banks' investments in bonds / debentures of public sector undertakings and the private sector and in commercial paper (CP) registered an increase of Rs.40020.000 Millions during 2006-07 in contrast to a decline of Rs.132370.000 Millions in the previous year. Commercial banks invested Rs.74706.000 Millions in Government paper in contrast to a decline of Rs.2280.000 Millions in 2005-06.

 

Banking Industry Outlook:

 

Banks have been able to finance the credit boom by managing their capital requirements, and have a CRAR of 12% that is considerably higher than the 9% level stipulated by RBI. The rapid growth prevailing in bank credit would necessitate further capitalization of banks.

 

The high degree of business optimism and continuing investment demand are pointers to prospects of substantial growth in bank credit. The buoyant performance of businesses has led to significant increase in incomes of individuals and more employment avenues. Thus, the growth prospects in retail segment are also expected to be high.

 

As per the schedule for implementation of Basel II provisions, foreign banks operating in India and Indian banks having presence outside India are required to migrate to the standardised approach for credit risk and the basic indicator approach for operational risk under Basel II with effect from March 31, 2008. All other scheduled commercial banks are encouraged to migrate to these approaches under Basel II in alignment with them, but in any case not later than March 31, 2009.

 

 

Bank's Performance during 2006-2007

Business Performance

 

The performance during the year reflected a significant improvement of over 85% in the net profit of the Bank at Rs.682.2000 Millions as compared to Rs.368.200 Millions last year. The operating profit however was lower at Rs.2056.700 Millions as compared to Rs.2232.900 Millions last year, even though there has been significant improvement in the fee-based income of the Bank. This was mainly due to absence of profit on securitisation business during the year (profit booked last year on account of securitisation was Rs.418.400 Millions). Besides, operating expenses increased during the year to Rs.3098.600 Millions from Rs.2806.400 Millions, mainly due to expanded branch network. In line with the overall increase in interest rate, there was higher outgo on account of interest expenses. The interest expenditure at Rs.12288.500 Millions as against Rs.8731.900 Millions in the previous year showed an increase of 41%. Interest spreads were under pressure as interest income did not pick up in tandem, due to the lag effect.

 

 

Operational / Product Performance

Retail Banking

 

Retail Banking Segment has shown substantial growth during the current financial year. This has been achieved by adopting customer segmentation and mapping the products and services to appropriate segments, to ensure delivery of value-added services.

 

Retail liability customer base of the Bank has expanded by 31% during the year to Rs.0.605 Million from Rs.0.480 Million customers. Retail deposits have moved to Rs.60060.000 Millions from Rs.40450.000 Millions, a growth rate of 48.47%. Retail Advances also grew by 43.3% to Rs.15840.000 Millions from Rs.11050.000 Millions. In respect of fee-based income, the retail segment recorded an excellent performance, with growth rate of 300%. This was mainly from initiatives like its Wealth Management activities, distribution of Mutual Fund and Insurance products and retail sale of 999.9 purity certified Gold Coins (Suvarna Mudra).

 

On-line General Insurance policies and On-line Investment options in mutual funds are some of the facilities now provided to the customers.

Wholesale Banking:

 

With the twin objectives of meeting growing market competition as well as improving customer profitability, the Bank has structured its wholesale banking operations into four vertical business lines, consisting of four Strategic Business Units (SBUs), viz., Corporate Banking Division, Capital and Commodities Market Division, Treasury and Investments Division and International Division.

 

 

Corporate Banking Division (CBD):

 

This division caters to the banking and financial needs of Corporates and Institutions, Small and Medium Enterprises, Cooperative Banks and Financial Institutions. The objective of the division is to service the full value chain of customer requirements. The division offers a wide range of banking and finance solutions to derive the maximum value and earnings from each customer. The aim is to build a holistic, long-term and mutually beneficial relationship with its customers through cost-effective and efficient services, utilising technology solutions where possible.

 

The structural changes brought into the division by placing a dedicated manpower structure of Relationship Managers and Product Specialists has brought in a conspicuous shift in methods of customer acquisition. This has enabled a significant increase in corporate customer base. The customer base of the division grew by 26% during the year.

 

The Liabilities and Transaction Banking Desk focused on granulation and garnering low cost deposits. Due to persistent efforts, the low cost deposits of the division grew from Rs.5680.000 Millions to Rs.7080.000 Millions on YOY basis, registering a growth of 25%.

The Asset Desk focussed on continuous churning of advances portfolio so as to exit low yielding relationships and enter into high yielding relationships. While the full impact of this churning will be witnessed in the next financial year, the process has improved the yield on advances of the division. The Asset Desk also focused on building off-balance sheet non-funded business. The efforts yielded encouraging results and the non-interest income of the division grew by 75%.

 

 

Treasury and Investment Division (TID):

 

Treasury continued with its significant market presence during the year under review. The Bank has a fully integrated Dealing Room that redefined its focus from market segment-based to function-based. This measure has started yielding results as functional expertise across various markets has been put to optimal use.

 

The TID has three distinct functional segments viz.

 

(a) Corporate Desk, catering to the nefeds of customers and branches

(b) Trading Desk, engaged in trading in Foreign Exchange, Fixed Income, Derivatives and Capital Markets

(c) Balance Sheet Desk, managing the liquidity, ALM functions and resources to meet statutory requirements of maintaining of CRR / SLR.

 

The Corporate Desk provides advisory services to Bank's customers having multi-currency balance sheet exposure by way of risk products such as Interest and Currency swaps and options. Besides, International Trade Finance, Letters of Credit, Export Finance and Bullion Consignment business continued to be the mainstay of the corporate business of Treasury. Your Bank also continued with Investment Advisory Services for Government and Corporate Debt through Constituent SQL accounts. The foreign exchange turnover witnessed substantial growth of 84% to Rs.415500.000 Millions from Rs.226050.000 Millions. The Bank continued to be among the lead players in Bullion Consignment segment, registering a turnover of around Rs.28150.000 Millions.

 

The hardening interest scenario limited the scope for trading in fixed income securities; however, opportunities in Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) were effectively utilised. The volumes and the profit under IRS registered significant growth in this year. The Trading Desk clocked good results in currency trading and corporate cover operations.

 

The Balance Sheet Desk ably and efficiently managed the liquidity and ALM positions even during phases of tight liquidity in the market. The Desk managed market borrowings at average cost of 6.85% through a slew of money market instruments, thereby reducing the average cost of funds.

 

The Investment portfolio of the Bank is de-risked from the hardening of interest rates. While dated securities are parked in HTM category, the AFS category comprises Treasury Bills, which bear minimal risks. The overall yield on investments was maintained at around 7.10% during the year.

 

 

Capital and Commodities Market Division (CCMD):

 

The Bank's Fort (Mumbai) Branch focuses on serving Capital and Commodities market players, and is the nodal branch for this business line. The Bank has the Clearing and Settlement Bank status with five principal stock and commodity exchanges of the country viz. NSE, BSE, NCDEX, MCX and NMCE.

The Bank has also concluded arrangement with ten mutual funds offering direct credit facility for redemption and income distribution. This arrangement, besides enhancing Bank's ability to cross-sell mutual fund schemes, greatly adds to customer convenience.

 

 

International Division (ID):

 

The International Division of the Bank covers all cross-border business flows of the Bank. The Bank has correspondent relationships with 332 banks spread across the globe.

 

The Bank continued to maintain its growth momentum in international trade business with a rise of 21% in turnover and 57% in revenues. The Bank continued to be an active player in inward remittance business. There are tie-up arrangements with 16 Exchange Houses under Rupee Drawing Arrangement and with two Money Transfer companies as principal agents under Money Transfer Service Scheme. The Bank is in the process of appointing sub-agents to increase the volumes through partnership with other domestic banks and financial institutions.

 

To enhance overseas business and leverage NRI relationships, the Bank has adopted the "Regional Alliance" model of partnering with strong regional overseas banks that do not have branch presence in India. During the year, alliances were established with two banks having coverage in United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Your Bank proposes to establish similar alliances in other geographical regions like South East Asia, United Kingdom, the United States, etc.

 

 

Branch Network:

 

The current year, 33 branches were opened and 41 off-site ATMs were set up by the Bank. As at March 31, 2007, the Bank had a total of 170 branches spread across 141 geographical locations and 99 off-site ATMs. The Bank now has presence in 27 States and Union Territories. In addition, your Bank has Representative Offices in London and Dubai.

 

Banking Operations:

 

The Bank has strengthened the policy framework on "Know the Customer" (KYC) norms and "Anti Money Laundering" (AML) measures from time to time, in line with the policies of Reserve Bank of India. The Bank has implemented a simplified procedure of "Know the Customer" which will benefit lower income group persons to open accounts with minimal documentation.

 

The Bank has also become a member of Banking Codes and Standards Board of India (BCSBI), which was set up to ensure that banks in India adhere to a voluntary code, which sets minimum standards for fair treatment of customers availing bank services. The Bank has made a commitment to adhere to all the provisions of the Code prescribed by BCSBI. The Bank has implemented almost all provisions of the Code and the rest are in the final stages of implementation. The Code is displayed at all the branches of the Bank and the same is also posted on the Bank's website in thirteen languages.

 

The clearing process at New Delhi and Mumbai has been centralized for quicker and efficient operations. The Bank has commenced image-based processing of clearing at these locations so as to be ready with participation in RBI's Cheque Truncation System (CTS), which would help faster and error- free processing of cheques.

 

The Bank has revised and adopted a comprehensive policy, in pursuance of RBI advices, on settlement of claims in respect of deceased depositors. The policy covers all types of deposits, and has simplified the procedure for settlement.

 

The Bank has adopted the "Best Practice Code", relating to transaction processing, with the objective of documenting the procedures in line with national and international best practices.

 

The Bank has also put in place a "Deposit Policy" and a "Fair Practice Code". While the former outlines the guiding principles in respect of various deposit products of the Bank, terms and conditions governing the operations of these accounts and the rights of depositors, the Fair Practice Code is a voluntary code establishing standards to be followed by all their branches in their dealings with the customers.

The Bank has also framed a "Citizen's Charter" to promote fair banking practices and to provide information in respect of various activities relating to customer service.

 

 

Credit Risk:

 

The Bank manages credit risk comprehensively, both at Transaction and at Portfolio levels. The Bank uses a robust risk rating framework for evaluating credit risk of the borrowers. The Bank uses segment-specific rating models which are equipped with transition matrix capabilities. Risks on various counter-parties such as corporate and banks are monitored through counter-party exposure limits, governed by country risk exposure limits also in case of international trades. The Bank manages risk at the portfolio level too, with prudential exposure limits to mitigate concentration risk. The Bank has a well-diversified portfolio across various industries and segments, as illustrated by the following data:

 

·         Retail exposures (which provide wider diversification benefits) account for as much as 58% of the total advances.

·         The Bank's corporate exposure is fully diversified across over 85 industries, thus insulating the Bank from industry cycles.

 

 

Market Risk:

 

The key sources of Market Risk are Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Price Risk and Foreign Exchange Risk. The Bank has implemented a state-of-the-art Treasury system 'OPICS' acquired from Misys, London, which supports robust risk management capabilities and facilitates Straight through Processing. OPICS supports tailoring of products to customers' needs.

 

Market Risk is effectively managed through comprehensive policy framework which provides various tools such as Mark-to-Market, Duration Analysis, Value-at-Risk, besides through operational limits such as stop-loss limits, exposure limits, deal-size limits, maturity ladder, etc. Investment portfolio is constantly re-jigged, in line with market movements and expectations, so as to ensure minimum risk in the portfolio.

 

 

Operational Risk:

 

Operational risk is managed by addressing people risk, process risk, systems risk as well as risks arising out of external environment. The Bank is the only Indian commercial bank to receive ISO-9001:2000 certification for all branches. The Bank has an efficient audit mechanism, involving periodical on-site audit, concurrent audits on the spot and off-site surveillance enabled by the Bank's advanced technology and core banking system.

 

The Bank has initiated the process of putting in place Operational Risk Management Framework using sophisticated tools, such as:

 

·         Key Risks Indicators

·         Score Cards

·         Risk Events

·         Loss Data

·         Near Miss Events

 

The framework would help in mitigation of operational risks and optimization of capital requirement towards operational risks under Basel II norms.

 

 

Systems Risk:

 

As part of Systems-related Operational Risk Management initiatives, the Bank has formulated and implemented a comprehensive Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure continuity of its critical business functions and extension of banking services to its customers. The Bank has established an effective Disaster Recovery site at a geographically distant location, with online real-time replication of data. Comprehensive IT security framework has been put in place to ensure complete data security and integrity. The Bank has housed its data center in a professionally managed environment, with sophisticated and fool-proof security features and assured supply of utilities.

 

 

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy

Operational Controls

 

The Bank has laid down the policy framework on "Know the Customer" (KYC) norms and "Anti Money Laundering Measures" (AML). The policy has been framed on the basis of recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force and the paper issued on Customer Due Diligence for Banks by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The AML software that has been implemented has effectively brought the operations risk under control.

 

In accordance with RBI's recommendations, a Committee on Procedures and Performance Audit on Public Service in Banks (CPPAPS), comprising senior functional heads of the Bank and a few customers, have been established. The Bank has also constituted a Customer Service Committee of the Board of Directors (CSCB) to review the performance of the CPPAPS.
