BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

 

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:

 

During fiscal 2013, the economic environment remained challenging with growth slowing down globally. India was impacted by both global and domestic events that led to moderation in economic activity. India’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.0% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to 6.6% during the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. The Central Statistical Organization, in its advance estimates, has projected GDP to grow by 5.0% during fiscal 2013 compared to growth of 6.2% in fiscal 2012. Banking sector non-food credit growth moderated from 16.8% at March 23, 2012 to 14.0% at March 22, 2013. Deposit growth remained subdued at 14.3% with demand deposits recording a growth of 5.9% at March 22, 2013. Amidst these short term challenges, the Bank continued to stay focused on the long-term prospects of the Indian economy and build capabilities for future growth. They believe that the strong underlying fundamentals of the Indian economy with a young population will support strong growth over the medium to long term, and their strategy revolves around prudently managing short term challenges while being prepared to meet the needs of a vibrant economy.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW:

 

During fiscal 2013, the Bank’s strategy focused on balancing growth, profitability and risk management while continuing to invest in growing its franchise and enhancing customer convenience. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment they made significant progress with sustained improvements in their net interest margins, higher return on assets and healthy loan growth with a balanced funding mix.

 

RETAIL BANKING:

 

They continued to focus on their strategy of “Khayaal Aapka” and building long-term relationship with their customers. During the year, they launched a loyalty programme “MySavings Rewards”. This programme allows customers to accumulate reward points on a host of savings account transactions such as bill pay, online shopping, EMI payments and many more. The programme already has over one million customers who have started earning reward points. Further, they set up 24x7 fully electronic branches during the year aimed at providing simple, effortless and convenient banking to their customers. These branches enable customers to undertake real time transactions like cash deposits, cash withdrawals, cheque deposit, fund transfer, opening fixed deposits, generating bank statement and other transactions. These branches are also equipped with video conferencing facility which allows with customer service staff interaction when required.

 

During the year, they harnessed digital channels innovatively for customer acquisition, customer interactions and cross selling of products and strengthened their presence in this space. They enhanced the product suite offered through their internet banking platform and customized it to meet requirements of different customer segments. Their mobile banking application has also grown and currently has over one million customers. They have emerged as the market leader in mobile transactions in value terms. They also pioneered social media-linked products during fiscal 2013 like Facebook banking and iWish, an online flexible recurring deposit. iWish is an innovatively designed product, launched for the first time in India, where a customer saves funds to fulfill a future desire or goal. The customer has the flexibility to decide on when and how much to save for the particular goal. They can also share their goals on Facebook with friends and family who may choose to contribute towards the purpose. Further, for customers who prefer to transact online, they enhanced their savings account portfolio with the offering of “b2”, a fully online savings account. b2 targets the rapidly growing internet savvy Indian population and offers an effortless banking experience.

 

They also continued to invest in building robust sales processes to provide a quicker and error-free banking experience to their customers. The sales team in major cities today offer “Tab Banking”, wherein they are able to open bank accounts using tablets in less than 24 hours. These tablets are also equipped with product videos introducing customers to various product features. Further, “E-Locker”, an online service for storing important documents, was introduced for wealth and privilege banking customers.

 

Customer convenience, superior banking experience, technology innovations and a large network of branches and ATMs continue to differentiate us in the banking industry. They have the largest branch network among private sector banks. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) awarded us the “Best ATM Operational Excellence Award, 2012” for the second consecutive year in fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2013, they added 348 branches and 1,475 ATMs to their network, taking their branch and ATM count to 3,100 and 10,481 respectively at March 31, 2013. This includes 54 dedicated branches and 25 dedicated lounges for wealth segment customers. Their “May I Help You” desks at every branch are now equipped to provide across-the-counter information related to transactions, cheque deposits and account details.

 

They continue to use advanced analytics to build customer relationships and gain a deeper understanding of services and product needs of their customers. Analytics-based trigger frameworks also play a critical role in the area of risk management and transaction monitoring. These initiatives helped us achieve robust growth in their retail business during fiscal 2013. There was a healthy growth in their retail asset disbursements primarily contributed by secured assets. Their mortgage loan and passenger car loan disbursements grew by 66% and 22% respectively in fiscal 2013. They also continued to see strong momentum in retail customer acquisition and growth in the retail deposit base across both savings and term deposits.

 

India’s growth potential is underscored by its young population and rising incomes. At ICICI Bank, they believe that with 50% of India’s population under the age of 25 years, banking in the years to come will be led by technology and customer convenience. They will continue to focus on introducing new products, channels and innovative payment modes that blend with a young and changing India.

 

SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES:

 

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are an important constituent of India’s economy. Their role is critical in not only contributing to growth but also meeting the aspirations of a developing economy. At ICICI Bank, they have partnered with SMEs not only in terms of finance, but also by providing support in other areas like transaction banking and investment needs of SMEs. They offer complete banking solutions to SMEs across industry segments with a suite of products customized to their business needs. They adopt a cluster-based financing approach for SMEs with a homogeneous profile in industries such as infrastructure, engineering, information technology, education, life sciences and agri-based industries, to partner their growth ambitions. They also offer supply chain financing solutions to the channel partners of large corporate. They have set up dedicated desks in 364 branches specializing in SME banking. They have also re-organized the business banking services at their branches with dedicated current account desks at select branches. They have also introduced doorstep banking and enhanced internet banking for SME customers.

 

Fiscal 2013 was a challenging period for SMEs due to the moderation in economic activity. While being cognizant of the subdued economic environment, they focused on judicious portfolio growth by adopting a granular approach and maintaining a cautious outlook on some sectors. They continued to focus on strengthening their delivery capabilities for SME customers. A strong SME sector is fundamental to building a resilient and dynamic corporate sector. ICICI Bank has always viewed the SME segment as integral to India’s growth and will continue to partner with them while building a healthy portfolio.

 

WHOLESALE BANKING:

 

Collaborating with their corporate customers by providing comprehensive and customized financial solutions for doing business in India and key geographies overseas has been the core strategy of their Wholesale Banking Group. The Group manages relationships with a number of large and mid-sized Indian corporate and multinational companies operating in India. The Group services the financial requirements of clients through a bouquet of products ranging from working capital finance, export finance, trade and commercial banking products to rupee and foreign currency term loans, and structured finance products.

 

Their Corporate Banking Group is the front-end relationship team which services client requirements across businesses. The relationship team works closely with specific teams like project finance, structured finance, loan syndication, commercial banking and markets group to develop suitable products that fulfill specific needs of clients. The Structured Finance Group designs innovative and customized products to meet the complex needs of their global clientele in synergy with the Corporate Banking Group and International Banking Group. The Structured Finance Group has been recognized as one of the leading arrangers and underwriters of structured finance transactions in India, deriving strength from its underwriting capabilities combined with the Bank’s extensive experience, industry expertise and global presence.

 

The Syndications Group is a leading player in the loan syndication market. It specializes in structuring and syndicating large loans. Its knowledge and experience facilitates timely response and seamless execution of corporate and project finance transactions. The diversified pool of clients enables us to align the unique requirements of clients with the varying requirements of investors. The Mid-Markets Group was created recognizing the unique credit requirements of the mid-sized corporate segment and the need to give distinct attention to clients in this segment to enable them to eventually become large sized corporate. The Group aims to be a partner in the growth of these clients, identifying business needs and offering tailor-made banking services including term loans, export and working capital finance, trade and transactional services and cash management services. The target segment of this Group comprises corporates that have transitioned beyond the SME segment and need more complex banking services.

 

The Commercial Banking Group offers comprehensive banking products and services to meet the trade, transaction banking and cash management needs of companies. The Group works closely with the Corporate Banking Group to diversify the revenue streams from corporate clients and enhance the granularity and stability of revenues for the Bank. Superior customer service levels combined with quick turnaround offered through their mega branches have helped in growing their transaction banking business. The relationship teams also work with the Markets Group to assist customers in addressing currency and market risk in their businesses by offering relevant products.

 

Fiscal 2013 was a challenging period for the Indian corporate sector due to significant slowdown in new investment opportunities and asset quality concerns in some areas. During the year, they actively managed their portfolio while pursuing selective new lending opportunities. At the same time, they continued to explore and identify sustainable revenue possibilities in synergy with their commercial banking strategy. They will continue to offer comprehensive financial services across a spectrum of financial products to their clients and partner them while judiciously growing their portfolio.

 

PROJECT FINANCE:

 

While the momentum in infrastructure investments slowed down during fiscal 2013, certain policy initiatives were taken during the year that have improved the prospects for investments in infrastructure in the coming years.

 

The Government has proposed modifications to the existing standard bid documents to make fuel a pass through for tariffs which would encourage new investments in the power sector. There are also initiatives towards granting approvals for coal mines. Further, the Government is also actively working on improving the fuel availability for various power projects. The proposal to take up coal mining in partnership with the private sector will improve availability of coal. These measures are expected to ensure the viability of investments in power generation assets. With greater private sector participation, projects in regional and inter-regional transmission corridors are expected which would strengthen the national grid. The renewable energy segment has gained momentum with more states formulating policies to encourage new investments in this segment.

 

In roads and ports sectors, they expect to see an increase in activity during fiscal 2014 with new projects likely to be awarded. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to award up to 4,000 km of roads through engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts during the year. The Government has also decided to constitute a regulatory authority for the road sector to expedite development and address challenges faced by the sector. In the port sector, about 30 port projects are expected to be awarded. The railway sector is also expected to witness increased investment in logistics development, track infrastructure (including dedicated freight corridors) and rolling stock, enabling higher movement of rakes.

 

In the oil and gas sector, most of the activity is expected to be linked to demand for natural gas. The demand for gas from priority sectors such as power and fertilizer is likely to continue, maintaining pressure on domestic supplies of gas. Significant additions to LNG import capacity have been announced with commissioning expected over the next four to five years. With the announcement of a new fertilizer policy, the urea sector is also expected to see capacity additions. Their long experience in project finance, deep sectoral expertise and innovative structuring capabilities have placed us in a position to capitalise on these opportunities and cater to the long-term financing requirements of Indian corporates. Infrastructure development is a critical area to improve the economic potential of the country, and they remain committed to partnering with companies in promoting viable projects.

 

INTERNATIONAL BANKING:

 

Their international banking strategy is focused on providing end-to-end solutions for the international banking requirements of their Indian corporate clients, leveraging economic corridors between India and the rest of the world and establishing ICICI Bank as the preferred bank for non-resident Indians in key global markets. Further, during fiscal 2013, despite the volatile economic environment, India remained an attractive market for most major global corporations, and ICICI Bank’s International Banking Group seeks to partner them as they expand in India. They also seek to build stable international funding sources and strong syndication capabilities to support their corporate and investment banking business, and to expand private banking operations for India-centric asset classes.

 

Their international footprint consists of subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Russia and Canada, branches in the United States, Singapore, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka, Dubai International Finance Centre and Qatar Financial Centre and representative offices in the United Arab Emirates, China, South Africa, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary ICICI Bank UK PLC has eleven branches in the United Kingdom and a branch each in Belgium and Germany. ICICI Bank Canada has nine branches. ICICI Bank Eurasia, their Russian subsidiary, is headquartered in Moscow with a branch in St. Petersburg. They opened their second retail branch in Hong Kong in fiscal 2013.

 

During fiscal 2013, the global economic environment was characterized by slow and prolonged recovery in advanced economies and growth slowdown in emerging economies. In this environment, they continued to focus on managing the risks to growth in their international operations. They also focused on diversifying the mix of their funding profile in their international operations. They continued to focus on expanding their trade finance business and their relationships with global corporate doing business in India.

 

India continues to remain the largest remittance receiving country in the world and ICICI Bank has a significant market share in remittances. This has been made possible through their diversified products and service offerings to meet the requirements of the widely dispersed NRI diaspora. The emphasis in fiscal 2013 was on further expanding access to remittance services through new partnerships and channels and delivering a superior customer service experience. ICICI Bank received the Best Remittance Business Award 2012, at Asia’s prestigious retail banking event, Excellence in Retail Financial Services Convention, organized by the Asian Banker.

 

RURAL AND INCLUSIVE BANKING:

 

At the ICICI Group, they view expanding access to banking and other financial services as a critical element of inclusive growth. During fiscal 2013, they focused on expanding their outreach to rural and semi-urban markets and providing complete financial solutions to customers in this segment.

 

They improved their presence in rural markets by expanding their branch and business correspondent network. During the year, they added 152 rural branches and 85 semi-urban branches, taking the total count of branches in the rural and semi urban areas to 1,453 at March 31, 2013. This includes 131 low cost Gramin branches opened in unbanked villages across ten states. These branches provide credit and deposit products (including 127 Gramin branches opened in fiscal 2013) specifically catering to rural customers. Their business correspondent network includes over 25 business correspondents with a network of over 7,500 customer service points. They provide micro-savings, remittance and deposit products through this channel. Technology has been a critical contributor to the success of the business correspondent model, with the use of innovative technology solutions such as biometric enabled Point of Sale (POS) devices and mobile handsets. They now cover over 13,500 villages through their branches and business correspondent network.

 

At March 31, 2013, they had 14.9 million basic savings bank deposit accounts (also known as no-frills savings accounts) compared to 9.8 million basic savings bank deposit accounts at March 31, 2012. Apart from savings products, their rural banking strategy also includes providing a range of asset products like kisan credit cards, jewel loans, self-help group (SHG) loans, commodity financing to farmers, business credit for rural enterprises, farm equipment loans and commercial vehicle loans. They emerged as a leading provider of electronic benefit transfer (EBT) services during fiscal 2013. By March 31, 2013, they had initiated EBT payment facilities in 48 districts across 11 states. The Bank was also among the first to implement Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), wherein government social benefits are directly transferred to the beneficiaries using the Aadhaar platform. DBT payments have been successfully processed for schemes like Social Security Pension (SSP), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Janani Suraksha Yojna (JSY) and National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) across four states.

 

They also made significant progress in scaling up their SHG Bank Linkage Programme. They have differentiated their offering in this segment by significantly reducing the turnaround time in providing credit. They work with over 200 entities in this area and have provided credit linkage to about 300,000 individuals, primarily women, through loans to over 25,000 SHGs, of which over 50% were credit-linked for the first time. Their progress has been recognized by several agencies including the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD).

 

In urban India, there is a large low-income migrant population which requires customized, low-cost products that can help them transfer funds to their home towns/villages. To fulfill this need, they have set up remittance outlets in over 50 major urban centers including Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Ahmedabad and Ludhiana. Through these outlets, they have processed over 3,77,000 transactions for over 1,00,000 customers. During the year, they also launched “Mobile Money” in association with telecom companies like Aircel, Tata Teleservices and Vodafone which targets the urban unbanked population. “Mobile Money” can be operated through a simple set of instructions using various access channels. It aims at improving financial inclusion by offering a gamut of financial services such as deposits and cash withdrawals, money transfer to third parties, recharging of prepaid mobile credit and payment of utility bills. Going forward, they will continue to focus on expanding their rural and semi-urban outreach and providing a comprehensive range of products and services customized to the needs of different customer segments in these markets.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:

 

Economic activity in India continued to moderate during fiscal 2013. Global economic conditions also remained weak with slowdown in growth in developed and emerging economies. While a supportive policy environment in developed economies prevented any crisis situation, uncertainty around revival in global growth remained a concern through the year.

 

India’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.0% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to a growth of 6.6% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. The services sector grew by 6.7% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to 8.5% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012. The industrial sector grew by 3.2% and agriculture sector by 4.0% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to a growth of 4.0% and 4.3% respectively in the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. Private consumption growth moderated to 2.9% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to a growth of 7.4% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. Investments, as measured by gross fixed capital formation, grew by 0.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to a growth of 5.0% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. The Central Statistical Organization has estimated GDP growth for fiscal 2013 at 5.0% compared to 6.2% in fiscal 2012 and 9.3% in fiscal 2011.

 

Inflation, measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), remained above 7.0% between April 2012 and January 2013, and subsequently eased to 6.0% in March 2013. The moderation in inflation was driven by the manufactured products segment where inflation increased from 5.3% in April 2012 to 6.5% in September 2012 before easing to 4.1% in March 2013. Inflation in food articles remained high through the year with the average inflation at 9.9% in fiscal 2013 compared to 7.3% in fiscal 2012. Fuel inflation which initially eased picked up in the later part of the year due to hike in petrol prices and partial deregulation of diesel prices. Core inflation (defined as manufactured products excluding food products) reduced from 5.0% in March 2012 to 3.4% in March 2013. Average inflation for fiscal 2013 was 7.3% compared to 8.9% in fiscal 2012.

 

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) undertook a calibrated easing of monetary policy during the year. During fiscal 2013, the repo rate was reduced by 100 basis points from 8.50% to 7.50% with a 50 basis points cut in April 2012 followed by a 25 basis points reduction each in January 2013 and March 2013. The cash reserve ratio (CRR) was reduced by 75 basis points during the year from 4.75% to 4.00%, with a 25 basis point cut each effective in September 2012, November 2012 and February 2013. Further, in August 2012, the statutory liquidity ratio was reduced by 100 basis points from 24.0% to 23.0%.

 

Liquidity in the system continued to remain in deficit through fiscal 2013. Average borrowing by banks under the liquidity adjustment facility window of RBI increased from Rs. 798.78 billion in fiscal 2012 to Rs. 841.16 billion in fiscal 2013. The average borrowing by banks under the liquidity adjustment facility window was over Rs. 960.00 billion in the second half of fiscal 2013. In view of the tight liquidity conditions, RBI injected liquidity through open market operations aggregating around Rs. 1,550.00 billion during fiscal 2013 in addition to the reduction in CRR. The yields on the benchmark 10-year government securities decreased by about 58 basis points from 8.54% at March 30, 2012 to 7.96% at March 28, 2013.

 

A series of policy measures were announced by the Government during the later part of fiscal 2013. The key developments included approval of the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill 2011 by both houses of Parliament, announcement of fiscal consolidation roadmap by the Government, approval of 51% foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail, formation of the Cabinet Committee on Investments to expedite investments in projects, partial deregulation of diesel prices, increase in petrol prices and railway passenger fares and deferral of General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) implementation to fiscal 2017. These announcements had a positive impact on market sentiment.

 

The Indian equity markets improved due to favourable global liquidity conditions and domestic events. The extraordinary liquidity support announced by the US, EU and Japan had a positive impact on global financial markets. This was further supported by gradual improvement in US economic indicators. The benchmark equity index, the BSE Sensex, increased by 8.2% during fiscal 2013, rising from 17,404 at March 31, 2012 to a peak of 20,104 at January 25, 2013, before moderating to 18,835 at March 28, 2013. Foreign institutional investment (FII) flows were significantly higher during the year, with net inflows of USD 29.00 billion during fiscal 2013 compared to USD 16.81 billion inflows during fiscal 2012. Foreign direct investments moderated to USD 21.10 billion and external commercial borrowings to USD 4.72 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to USD 28.74 billion and USD 6.89 billion respectively during the corresponding period of fiscal 2012. During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, a steeper decline in India’s exports compared to imports led to a rise in the current account deficit to 5.3% of GDP. However, India’s balance of payments had a marginal surplus of USD 1.15 billion during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 as against a deficit of USD 7.09 billion during the corresponding period of fiscal 2012, reflecting strong portfolio investment inflows. The rupee depreciated by 6.3% against the US dollar from Rs. 51.16 per US dollar at March 30, 2012 to Rs. 54.39 per US dollar at March 28, 2013.

 

Non-food credit growth moderated during fiscal 2013 from 16.8% at March 23, 2012 to 14.0% at March 22, 2013. Based on sector-wise data, year-on-year growth in credit to industry was 15.7% and to the services sector was 13.6% at March 22, 2013. Credit to the infrastructure sector grew by 16.5% year-onyear at March 22, 2013 compared to an 20.5% increase at March 23, 2012 and a 37.8% increase at March 25, 2011. Retail loan growth increased to 14.5% year-on-year at March 22, 2013 compared to 12.9% at March 23, 2012. Deposit growth remained muted during the year recording year-on-year growth of 14.3% at March 22, 2013 compared to 13.5% growth at March 23, 2012. Demand deposit growth was 5.9% year-on-year at March 22, 2013.

 

First year retail premium underwritten in the life insurance sector increased (on weighted received premium basis) to Rs. 389.56 billion in fiscal 2013 from Rs. 382.54 billion in fiscal 2012. Gross premium of the non-life insurance sector (excluding specialised insurance institutions) grew by 18.4% to Rs. 647.07 billion during fiscal 2013 from Rs. 546.45 billion during fiscal 2012. The average assets under management of mutual funds increased by 22.8% from Rs. 6,647.92 billion in March 2012 to Rs. 8,166.57 billion in March 2013.

 

SOME KEY REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INDIAN FINANCIAL SECTOR DURING FISCAL 2013 INCLUDE:

 

• In May 2012, RBI’s final guidelines on implementation of Basel III capital regulations were released. These guidelines require, among other things, higher levels of Tier-1 capital and common equity, capital conservation buffers, higher deductions from common equity and Tier-1 capital for investments in subsidiaries and changes in the structure of non-equity instruments eligible for inclusion in Tier-1 capital. The guidelines are to be fully implemented by March 2018. While the initial date for commencing implementation was January 1, 2013, it was later deferred to April 1, 2013.

 

• In June 2012, RBI prohibited foreclosure charges and pre-payment penalties on home loans on a floating interest rate basis.

 

• In July 2012, RBI issued revised guidelines on priority sector lending requirements. While keeping the lending targets unchanged, the revised guidelines made certain changes to the categories of lending that would be eligible for classification as priority sector lending and its sub-segments. The guidelines aim to increase direct agricultural lending by banks to individuals. The guidelines also stipulate that investments by banks in securitized assets and outright purchases of loans and assignments would be eligible for classification under the priority sector. The guidelines also increased the priority sector lending requirements for foreign banks in India that have 20 or more branches, in order to bring them on par with domestic banks. In October 2012, RBI announced revisions to the priority sector lending norms. Loans up to Rs. 20.0 million to partnership firms, cooperatives and corporates directly engaged in agricultural activities were made eligible for classification under direct agriculture lending.  Also, loans to housing finance companies for on-lending for housing up to Rs. 1.0 million per borrower were included under priority sector lending.

 

• In November 2012, the RBI increased the general provisioning on restructured standard accounts from 2.00% to 2.75%.

 

• In November 2012, RBI released draft guidelines on liquidity risk management and the Basel III framework on liquidity standards. The draft guidelines provide for monitoring and reporting of a liquidity coverage ratio, which is designed to ensure that a bank maintains an adequate level of liquid assets to survive an acute liquidity stress scenario lasting one month, and a net stable funding ratio designed to ensure a minimum amount of funding that is expected to be stable over a one-year time horizon.

 

• In December 2012, Parliament passed the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, which, inter alia, permits all banking companies to issue preference shares that will not carry any voting rights; mandates prior approval of RBI for the acquisition of more than 5.0% of a banking company’s paid-up capital or voting rights by any individual or firm or group; empowers RBI, after consultations with the Central Government, to supersede the board of a private sector bank for a total period not exceeding 12 months, during which time RBI will have the power to appoint an administrator to manage the bank; empowers RBI to inspect affiliates of banking entities (affiliates include subsidiaries, holding companies or any joint ventures of banks); and eases the restrictions on voting rights by making them proportionate to the shareholding up to a cap of 26% in case of private sector banks (earlier 10%), and 10% in the case of public sector banks (earlier 1%).

 

• In December 2012, the Lok Sabha passed the Companies Bill 2011 which would amend the Companies Act 1956. The provisions of the Bill include making independent directors more accountable and improving corporate governance practices. The Bill also seeks to make corporate social responsibility mandatory for companies above a certain size and require them to spend a minimum of 2% of the average net profits of the preceding three years for corporate social responsibility initiatives. Any shortfall in this regard is required to be explained in the annual report. The Bill is pending approval of the Rajya Sabha.

 

• In January 2013, the RBI issued draft guidelines on restructuring of advances. The draft guidelines propose that with effect from April 1, 2015, loans that are restructured (other than in the infrastructure sector) would be classified as non-performing. The general provision required on restructured standard accounts would increase to 3.75% from March 31, 2014 and to 5.0% from March 31, 2015. General provisions on standard accounts restructured after April 1, 2013 would be at 5.0%.

 

• RBI through a notification issued on January 31, 2013 mandated banks to disclose further details on restructured accounts in their annual reports. This includes disclosing restructured accounts on a cumulative basis excluding the standard restructured accounts which cease to attract higher provision and/or higher risk weight, the provisions made on restructured accounts under various categories and details of movement of restructured accounts.

 

• In February 2013, RBI issued guidelines on the entry of new banks in the private sector including eligibility criteria, structure, capital requirements, shareholding structure and corporate governance practices. Select entities or groups in the private sector, entities in the public sector and non-banking financial companies with a successful track record of at least ten years would be eligible to promote banks. The initial minimum capital requirement for these entities is Rs. 5.00 billion, with foreign shareholding not exceeding 49.0% for the first five years. Applications for setting up of new banks have been sought by July 1, 2013.

 

• In March 2013, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority issued guidelines on nonlinked life insurance products which include limits on the commission rates payable by insurance companies, introduction of minimum guaranteed surrender value and minimum death benefits. The new guidelines would require life insurance companies to modify existing non-linked products which do not comply with the revised guidelines.

 

STANDALONE FINANCIALS AS PER INDIAN GAAP:

 

SUMMARY:

 

During fiscal 2013, they focused on sustainable value creation by balancing growth, profitability and risk management. Their profit after tax increased by 28.8% from Rs. 64.65 billion in fiscal 2012 to Rs. 83.25 billion in fiscal 2013. The increase in profit after tax was mainly due to 29.2% increase in net interest income and 11.3% increase in non-interest income offset, in part, by a 14.8% increase in non-interest expenses and 13.9% increase in provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax). Net interest income increased by 29.2% from Rs. 107.34 billion in fiscal 2012 to Rs. 138.66 billion in fiscal 2013, reflecting an increase of 38 basis points in net interest margin and an increase of 13.5% in average interest-earning assets.

 

Non-interest income increased by 11.3% from Rs. 75.02 billion in fiscal 2012 to Rs. 83.46 billion in fiscal 2013.

The increase in provisions and contingencies (excluding provisions for tax) was primarily due to an increase in provisions for non-performing and restructured loans in the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and corporate loan portfolio.

Term deposits increased by 17.7% from Rs. 1,444.81 billion at March 31, 2012 to Rs. 1,700.37 billion at March 31, 2013. Total advances increased by 14.4% from Rs. 2,537.28 billion at March 31, 2012 to Rs. 2,902.49 billion at March 31, 2013 primarily due to an increase in the domestic corporate and retail loan book.

They continued to expand their branch network in India.

RBI FINES AXIS, ICICI, HDFC ON KYC NORMS, SAYS NO MONEY LAUNDERING

 

JUNE 10, 2013

 

According to the notification posted on the Reserve Bank of India’s website, “The Reserve Bank has imposed a monetary penalty on Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank for violating Reserve Bank of India instructions.”

 

The penalties are as follows: For Axis Bank – Rs 50.000 Millions, for HDFC bank -Rs 45.000 Millions and for ICICI Bank -Rs 10.000 Millions.  Recently the apex bank had scrutinized these three banks books of accounts, internal control, compliance systems and processes of their corporate offices and some branches. This scrutiny comes after the Cobrapost released a video of alleged money laundering.

 

The central bank found that though there was no prima facie evidence of money laundering by these banks, they did fall short on a number of occasions to comply with the regulatory requirements.

 

For instance, there was a violation of certain safeguards in respect of arrangement of “at par” payment of cheques drawn by cooperative banks. These banks also did not adhere to certain aspects of know your customer (KYC) norms and anti money laundering (AML) guidelines.  These banks violated the regulatory requirement of obtaining PAN number of form 60/61 on various occasions.

 

In fact for few NRO accounts, these banks did not even verify the source of funds. These were a few parameters on which these three banks fell short of meeting the regulatory requirements.

 

ICICI BANK FOR MORE BRANCH EXPANSION

 

JUNE 25, 2013

 

India’s second biggest bank, ICICI Bank Limited, is looking for foreign expansion by opening branches in Australia, South Africa and Mauritius.


The largest private sector lender is also looking to open a full-fledged branch in China, where it already has a representative office, managing director and CEO, Chanda Kochhar said during the bank’s 19th annual general meeting in Vadodara.


“Under the bank’s foreign expansion plans, we will open branches in Australia, South Africa and Mauritius.

"We have sought Reserve Bank of India’s clearance and the same is awaited,” said Kochhar addressing the shareholders in Vadodara on Monday.


“We already have a representative office in China, where we will open a full-fledged branch,” she said.


As on March 31, ICICI Bank had the largest number of foreign branches, 10, among private sector banks in India.

The bank also has three subsidiaries and eight representative offices located in different countries, RBI data showed.

Commenting on the domestic branch network, Kochhar maintained bank will expand its branch presence in the non-banked areas of the country.

 

“We will open 350 new branches in India.

 

"About 200 of these will be in non-banked areas.

 

"The pace of branch network expansion will be much faster over the next three years,” said managing director and chief executive officer Chanda Kochhar at its 19th annual general meeting in Vadodara.

 

She said they’d also applied to the Reserve Bank of India for permission to open branches in Australia, South Africa and Mauritius.

 

And, she said, they wished to upgrade the representative office in China to a full branch.



As on March 31, ICICI had 10 branches abroad (the largest among private sector banks in India), three subsidiaries and eight representative offices in different countries.

 

To a shareholder’s query on the status of the investigation into the money laundering charges made after the ‘sting’ operation by web portal Cobrapost, she said: “We did three-layered investigations. One was an internal inquiry, the second was done by Deloitte, an external agency we appointed, and the third by RBI.


"From these investigations we found there has been no instance of money laundering in ICICI Bank.”


On the economic situation and power sector issues, she said exposure to the latter was not a concern.

 

“Our exposure to the power sector is less than seven per cent of our total exposure, and over half of it is to companies already operational and generating cash flows,” she explained.


Adding: “While some of the projects, in the current environment, may face certain delays in cash flows but in the country as a whole, there is huge requirement of power.


"As each and every project starts operating and get their raw material, these (would be) very good assets in the long run.”


On the rupee’s volatility, Kochhar said it would not hamper the bank’s plans to raise 50 billion ($510 million) by selling bonds to institutional investors in Japan.


“Even in the most volatile conditions, we have raised funds from the Chinese markets.


"We always look for a window of opportunity, where liquidity is available at the appropriate cost. We go ahead and raise those funds.”


A week before, ICICI had raised money in Chinese yuan and in the past year, raised funds in both US and Singapore dollars and Swiss francs.


ICICI, the country’s largest bank in the private sector, plans more expansion at home and abroad.


Elevate Kochhar to vice-chair: Shareholders


While shareholders of ICICI Bank showered praises on the management for successfully withstanding critical economic situation and yet announce healthy results, some demanded elevation for Chanda Kochhar to vice-chair of the bank.

 

Chairman Kamath, however, did not respond to the request nor did he deny the possibility of the elevation.


Lender promises Rs 50.000 Millions for Uttarakhand


ICICI Bank on Monday said every employee would contribute a day’s salary towards a relief fund for those affected in the Uttarakhand floods.


“The bank will match that amount and the total fund will not be less than Rs 50.000 Millions (Rs 50.000 millions),” said Chanda Kochhar, managing director, at the annual general meeting in Vadodara.


The AGM also observed a one-minute silence for those who lost their lives in these floods.
