INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The current downturn
provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says
the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The
report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be
offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external
competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated
substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.
A stagflation like
situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of
6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth
continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6 % in August.
Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost
nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution
of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross
domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.
136000 estimated
number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year.
50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social
responsibility in the coming years.
The International
Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before
the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c
(Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been
launched in India from 1st November.
The Land Acquisition
Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from
January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act
replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of
India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock
Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with
advanced trading technology by the end of November.

BACKGROUND
Subject was
incorporated in 1993 and provides a complete suite of corporate and retail
banking products.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The Bank continued
to grow steadily, both in business and earnings, in an increasingly competitive
financial market and reported a net profit of Rs.51794.300 Millions for the
year ended 31st March 2013, registering a growth of 22.09% over the net profit
of Rs.42422.100 Millions last year. The strong performance in earnings resulted
from the robust growth across all segments. During the year, the Bank’s total
income increased by 23.05% to reach Rs.337336.800 Millions, compared to
Rs.274148.600 Millions last year. Operating revenue during this period
increased by 20.68% to Rs.162173.700 Millions while operating profit increased
by 25.20% to Rs.93031.300 Millions. The growth in earnings may be attributed to
the performance of the Bank’s core income streams: net interest income (NII),
fee and other income. NII increased by 20.56% to Rs.96662.600 Millions from
Rs.80177.500 Millions last year. Fee, trading and other income increased by
20.86% to Rs.65511.100 Millions from Rs.54202.200 Millions last year. The
increase in earnings was partly offset by an increase in operating expenses by
15.10% to Rs.69142.400 Millions.
During the year,
the growth in NII is attributable to an expansion in the balance sheet size and
healthy lowcost Current Account and Savings Bank (CASA) deposits. During the
year, the total earning assets on a daily average basis increased by 22.64% to
Rs.2737380.000 Millions, compared to Rs.2232060.000 Millions last year. A
steady growth of low-cost CASA deposits, which on a daily average basis
increased to Rs.809410.000 Millions from Rs.708450.000 Millions, helped in
containing the cost of funds, which had risen over the period due to the
hardening of interest rates on term deposits. Overall, the daily average cost
of funds in the year increased to 6.55% from 6.28% last year. During the year,
the cost of deposits increased to 6.73% from 6.47% last year primarily due to
an increase in cost of term deposits by 18 basis points (from 8.92% to 9.10%).
During the same period, the yield on earning assets increased by 9 basis points
to 9.75% from 9.66% last year.
Other income
comprising fees, trading profit and miscellaneous income increased by 20.86% to
Rs.65511.100 Millions in 2012-13 from Rs.54202.200 Millions last year and
constituted 40.40% of the operating revenue of the Bank. Fee income constituted
34.04% of the operating revenue of the Bank and increased by 16.80% to
Rs.55209.300 Millions from Rs.47269.400 Millions last year. The Bank earns fee
income from a diverse set of products and businesses such as client-based merchant
foreign exchange trade, transaction banking (including cash management
services), syndication and placement fees, processing fees from loans and
commission on non-funded products (such as letters of credit and bank
guarantees), inter-change fees on ATM-sharing arrangements and fee income from
the distribution of third-party personal investment products. During the year,
proprietary trading profits increased by 108.71% to Rs.7546.000 Millions from
Rs.3615.600 Millions last year. Miscellaneous income decreased by 16.92% to
Rs.2755.800 Millions from Rs.3317.200 Millions last year mainly due to lower
recoveries of loans/investments written-off in earlier years. During the year,
such recoveries accounted for Rs.2685.100 Millions.
As a result, the
operating revenue of the Bank increased by 20.68% to Rs.162173.700 Millions
from Rs.134379.700 Millions last year. The core income streams (NII, fee and
miscellaneous income) now constitute 95.35% of the operating revenue,
reflecting the sustainability of the Bank’s earnings. Operating expenses
increased by 15.10% to Rs.69142.400 Millions from Rs.60071.000 Millions last
year, largely as a result of the growth of the Bank’s network and other
infrastructure required for supporting the existing and new businesses. The Cost
to Income ratio of the Bank was 42.63% compared to 44.70% last year.
During the year,
the operating profit of the Bank increased by 25.20% to Rs.93031.300 Millions
from Rs.74308.700 Millions last year. During this period, the Bank created
total provisions (excluding provisions for tax) of Rs.17504.400 Millions
compared to Rs.11430.300 Millions last year. The Bank provided Rs.11792.200
Millions towards non-performing assets compared to Rs.8604.300 Millions last
year and Rs.1966.800 Millions towards provision for standard assets compared to
Rs.1503.000 Millions last year. The Bank also provided Rs.1039.500 Millions
compared to Rs.888.600 Millions last year against restructured assets. The Bank
has also created a contingent provision of Rs.3750.000 Millions against
advances and other exposures as a prudent measure. During 2012- 13, the Bank
restructured loans of Rs.21100.900 Millions. The ratio of Gross NPAs to gross
customer assets was 1.06% compared to 0.94% last year and Net NPA ratio (Net
NPAs as percentage of net customer assets) was 0.32% compared to 0.25% last
year. With higher levels of provisions built over and above regulatory norms
during the year, the Bank has maintained its provision coverage to 79.15%
(after considering prudential write-offs).
The healthy growth
in business and revenue has been reflected in a set of financial parameters and
ratios during the year. Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) was Rs.119.67 compared
to Rs.102.94 last year, while the Diluted Earnings Per Share was Rs.118.85
compared to Rs.102.20 last year. Return on Equity (RoE) was 20.51% compared to
21.22% last year and Book Value Per Share increased from Rs.551.99 to
Rs.707.50. Return on Assets (RoA) is 1.70% compared to 1.68% last year. The net
interest margin (NIM) for the year was 3.53% compared to 3.59% last year.
The Bank displayed
healthy growth in several key balance sheet parameters for the year ended 31st
March 2013. The balance sheet size increased by 19.23% to Rs.3405610.000
Millions on 31st March 2013 from Rs.2856280.000 Millions on 31st March 2012. As
on 31st March 2013, the total deposits of the Bank stood at
Rs.2526140.000 Millions against Rs.2201040.000 Millions last year, increasing
by 14.77% over last year. Savings Bank deposits increased by 23.44% to
Rs.637780.000 Millions, while Current Account deposits increased by 21.55% to
Rs.483220.000 Millions. Low-cost demand deposits: Current Accounts and Savings
Bank (CASA) deposits were Rs.1121000.000 Millions as on 31st March 2013 as
compared to Rs.914220.000 Millions last year, rising 22.62% over the year. As
on 31st March 2013, CASA deposits constituted 44.38% of total deposits as
compared to 41.54% last year. On a daily average basis, Savings Bank deposits
increased by 20.26% to Rs.522430.000 Millions, while Current Account deposits
increased by 4.73% to Rs.286980.000 Millions. The percentage share of CASA in
total deposits, on a daily average basis, was 36.28% compared to 37.65% last
year. In order to broaden the term deposit base, the Bank continued to focus on
increasing the share of retail term deposits in total term deposits. As on 31st
March 2013, the retail term deposits grew 24.37% and stood at Rs.595310.000
Millions, constituting 42.37% of the total term deposits compared to 37.20%
last year. Total advances of the Bank were Rs.1969660.000 Millions as on 31st
March 2013, increasing by 16.03% from Rs.1697600.000 Millions as on 31st March
2012. Of this, corporate advances (comprising large, infrastructure and
mid-corporate accounts) increased 7.89% to Rs.982390.000 Millions and SME loans
increased 25.75% to Rs.299220.000 Millions. Agricultural lending (including
micro finance) stood at Rs.148450.000 Millions, decreasing 14.39% over the last
year. Retail loans increased by 43.62% to Rs.539600.000 Millions. The
percentage share of retail loans to total advances has increased to 27.40% from
22.13% last year. The retail loan portfolio continues to be focused on secured
products. However, a diversification into multiproduct portfolio continued
during the year. Secured loans accounted for 87.14% of the total retail loans.
The total investments of the Bank increased by 22.05% to Rs.1137370.000
Millions and investments in government and approved securities, held mainly for
SLR requirement, increased by 23.89% to Rs.725180.000 Millions. Other
investments, including corporate debt securities, increased by 18.93% to
Rs.412190.000 Millions. As on 31st March 2013, the total assets of the Bank’s
overseas branches stood at Rs.371520.000 Millions, constituting 10.91% of the
Bank’s total assets.
The Bank continued
toenlarge its distribution network by widening its geographical reach, which is
seen to be critical for tapping low-cost CASA deposits, lending to retail,
agriculture and SME segments and the distribution of thirdparty products.
During the year, the Bank added 325 new branches, taking the total number of
branches and extension counters (ECs) to 1,947, of which 883 branches/ECs are
in semi-urban and rural areas and 1,064 branches are in metropolitan and urban
areas. The Bank is present in all the States and Union Territories (except
Lakshadweep), covering a total of 1,263 centres. The Bank also increased its
ATM network to 11,245, as compared to 9,924 ATMs last year. Apart from this,
the Bank has an overseas presence in the form of branches at Singapore, Hong
Kong, DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) and Colombo and
representative offices at Shanghai, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
MACRO-ECONOMIC
ENVIRONMENT
Fiscal 2012-13 saw
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth falling to 5.0% from 6.2% in the previous
year. Persisting high inflation, macro-economic imbalances, including fiscal
and current account deficits resulted in a tight monetary policy stance for
much part of the year. Investment dropped sharply due to high interest rates
and project implementation bottlenecks resulting in the growth slowdown. A
decline in the country’s exports – the result of declining domestic
competitiveness and a slowing global economy, together with high imports has
led to deterioration in the Current Account Deficit (CAD). Reduced capital
inflows also led to a sharp depreciation of the Rupee.
Subsidies rose to
2.6% in fiscal 2012-13 from 1.4% of GDP in the previous year, with both the
fiscal deficit and inflation remaining at elevated levels. As part of the
process of reforms and with a view to restoring investor confidence, the
government has taken a number of measures since September 2012 including the
partial de-regulation of diesel prices, capping of subsidies of LPG and
liberalisation of FDI in multi-brand retail and aviation. The government has
made fiscal discipline a key objective and the deficit for fiscal 2013-14 has
been budgeted at 4.8% of GDP, lower than 5.2% declared for the previous year.
Credit growth fell
to less than 15% and in the absence of fresh investments and monetary policy
easing in fiscal 2013-14 may slow down further. Deposit growth in the banking
sector, which remains the primary channel of financial intermediation, also
witnessed a slowdown in fiscal 2012-13. Aggregate deposits outstanding were
Rs.67.51 lac crores as on 22nd March 2013 growing 14.3% year-on-year while
non-food bank credit grew 14% to Rs.51.66 lac crores.
PROSPECTS FOR
FISCAL 2013-14
Moderate global economic
recovery and measures to revive domestic growth are likely to improve economic
conditions and sentiment in India in fiscal 2013-14. Core inflation is likely
to decline gradually and remain range-bound thereafter. India’s Current Account
Deficit (CAD) is likely to reduce gradually as a result of the measures
initiated by the government and the RBI. Improvement in exports will act as a
further impetus to domestic growth. The steps taken to revive investment,
including monetary policy easing and liquidity infusion and progressive
infrastructure de-bottlenecking is likely to increase capacity expansion.
Recent measures by the government, including actions by the Cabinet Committee
on Investments (CCI) and prospective award of road contracts is likely to boost
the projects being implemented. As a result, GDP may potentially rise to around
6% in fiscal 2013-14.
With households
re-allocating their savings from physical to financial assets and with
improvement in financial performance by corporates, higher foreign capital
inflows as well as better cash management by the government, it is hoped that
there will be an increase in financial savings that would support deposit
growth and improve systemic liquidity. For fiscal 2013-14, we expect deposit
growth to be 14-15% and non-food bank credit to be around 15-16%. The
challenging conditions have enabled Indian corporates to become more
competitive and efficient that will help them benefit from a cyclical upturn.
OVERVIEW OF
FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
In a year in which
the banking sector in the country has faced increasing strain, from tight
liquidity conditions, hardening interest rates, slowdown in capital
expenditure, rising delinquencies and high incidence of assets being
restructured, the Bank has reported a strong performance, sustained by its
fundamental strengths - a sound infrastructure in the form of a well laid-out
retail franchise and a large number of corporate relationships.
The Bank has
registered robust growth in both business and revenues. The total assets of the
Bank as on 31st March 2013 were Rs.3405610.000 Millions, increasing 19.23% over
the year, with the total deposits of the Bank rising 14.77% to Rs.2526140.000
Millions and the total advances rising 16.03% to Rs.1969660.000 Millions as on
31st March 2013. During the year, the total income of the Bank increased 23.05%
to Rs.337340.000 Millions, while operating revenue increased 20.68% to
Rs.162170.000 Millions. The net profit rose 22.09% to Rs.51790.00 Millions from
Rs.42420.000 Millions in the previous year.
The Bank continued
to create shareholder value, as a result of which the diluted earnings per
share for the year increased to Rs.118.85 from Rs.102.20 last year, while the
book value per share increased to Rs.707.50 from Rs.551.99 last year.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
An overview of
various business segments along with the performance during 2012-13 and their
future strategies is presented below.
RETAIL BANKING
The Bank aims to
increase its share in the financial services sector by continuing to build a
strong retail franchise. The segment continues to be one of the key drivers of
the Bank’s growth strategy, encompassing a wide range of products delivered
through multiple channels to customers. The Bank offers a complete suite of products
across deposits, loans, investment solutions, payments and cards and is
committed to developing long-term relationships with its customers by providing
high-quality services.
The Bank pursues
an effective customer segmentation strategy, the success of which is reflected
in the fact that Savings Bank deposits grew at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) of 26.13% over the last five years. During the year, Savings Bank
deposits grew 23.44% to Rs.637780.000 Millions from Rs.516680.000 Millions last
year. On a daily average basis, Savings Bank deposits grew 20.26% to
Rs.522430.000 Millions. The Bank has also maintained its approach in increasing
the proportion of Retail Term Deposits. On the 31st March 2013, retail term
deposits grew 24.37% year-on-year to Rs.595310.000 Millions, constituting
42.37% of total term deposits, compared to 37.20% last year.
Likewise, the Bank
continued to focus on increasing its share of retail loans in total advances.
The retail loans of the Bank grew 43.62% to Rs.539600.000 Millions as on 31st
March 2013 from Rs.375700.000 Millions last year. Retail loans constituted
