INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit for the fiscal third quarter ended September 2013 narrowed to $4.2 billion or 0.9 % of the gross domestic product from $31.9 billion or 6.5 % of GDP a year earlier, thanks to a pick-up in exports and moderation in gold imports. Manufacturing activity and new orders in India showed their strongest growth in a year in February. The news comes as a relief after data showed Asia’s third largest economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7 % annually in the three months through December. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which gauges the business activity of India’s factories but not its’ utilities, rose to 52.5 in February, its highest in a year from 51.4 in January. Overall new orders for factory goods which rose to a one-year high of 54.9 contributed to the surge. China has emerged as India’s biggest trading partner in the current financial year replacing the United Arab Emirates and pushing it to the third spot. India-China trade has reached $49.5 billion with a 8.7 % share in India’s total trade. The US comes second at $46 billion with 8.1 % share during the first nine months of the current financial year.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an additional nine months to the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005 including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, pushing the deadline to January 1, 2015. A day before dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the government decided to hike interest rates on fixed deposit schemes offered by post offices up to 0.2 per cent. The new rates will be effective April, 1. The Supreme Court will resume hearing on March, 11 Nokia’s appeal against a ruling over transferring ownership of its local mobile phones plant which is the subject of a tax dispute to Microsoft Corp.

 

In the last days of the current Government, another scam has surfaced. The defence ministry has ordered a probe into Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s contracts from Britain’s Rolls-Royce Holdings worth at least $ 1.2 billion. The Central Bureau of Investigation will look into allegations that over $80 million was paid in kickbacks in a deal signed in 2011. India has asked Boeing Co. to find a solution for problems with state-owned Air India’s 787 Dreamliners. The aircraft has experienced a series of malfunctions since its debut in 2011.

BACKGROUND:

 

Subject (‘HDFC Bank’ or ‘the Bank’), incorporated in Mumbai, India is a publicly held banking company engaged in providing a range of banking and financial services including commercial banking and treasury operations. The Bank is governed by the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Bank has overseas branch operations in Bahrain and Hong Kong.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS

 

MACRO-ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

 

It was a challenging year for the Indian economy with lingering concerns over global growth prospects and financial stability weighing on external demand and international funding. Further, local headwinds such as firm inflation, rising interest rates and policy impediments to investment only exacerbated the impact of a shaky global environment on domestic growth. Headline GDP growth as a result is likely to have fallen to 5.0% in FY13 from 6.2% a year ago and 9.3% in FY11.While there was some course correction by way of policy responses both from the government and the central bank their impact will be visible only with a lag. In particular, the government has embraced a path of fiscal consolidation that kept the fiscal deficit target for FY13 below the initial level of 5.1% of GDP and it is likely that the fiscal deficit could drift lower to 4.8% of GDP in FY14.The RBI on the other hand fell back on measured policy easing in FY13 that could gain momentum amidst the prospect of falling inflation amidst weak global commodity prices and subdued domestic demand. That said, macro-stability risks from a large current account deficit which is likely to have reached a record 5.1% of GDP in FY13 and placed the rupee under extreme depreciation pressure could curtail the extent of this easing. On balance, the prospect of some monetary easing going ahead, a normal monsoon and some traction in government capital expenditure could pave the way for a revival in GDP growth to 5.8%-6% in FY14 and could keep India a significant out-performer in the global context.

 

 

MISSION, BUSINESS STRATEGY AND APPROACH TO BUSINESS

 

The Bank’s mission is to be a ‘World Class Indian Bank’, benchmarking itself against international standards and best practices in terms of product offerings, technology, service levels, risk management, audit and compliance. The objective is to continue building sound customer franchises across distinct businesses so as to be a preferred provider of banking services for its target retail and wholesale customer segments, and to achieve a healthy growth in profitability, consistent with the Bank’s risk appetite.

 

From inception, the Bank’s business philosophy has been based on four core values: Operational Excellence, Customer Focus, Product Leadership and People. During the year, they have added Sustainability as the fifth core value. Based on these cornerstones, it is their aim to build an Indian Bank that meets the financial needs, and provides services of a high quality to its customers across the country.

 

The Bank is committed to do this while ensuring the highest levels of ethical standards, professional integrity, corporate governance and regulatory compliance. The Bank understands and respects its fiduciary role and responsibility to all stakeholders and strives to meet their expectations. The cardinal principles of independence, accountability, responsibility, transparency, fair and timely disclosures, etc. serve as the basis of their approach to corporate governance. The Bank believes that diversity and independence of the Board, transparent disclosures, shareholder communication and effective regulatory compliance are necessary for creating and sustaining shareholder value. The Bank has infused these principles into all its activities.

 

The Bank also has a well-documented Code of Ethics / Conduct Policy which defines the high business responsibility and ethical standards to be adhered to while conducting the business of the Bank and mandates compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Every employee, including senior management has to affirm annually that they will abide by the conduct rules.

 

Consistent with the mission and approach, the Bank’s business strategy emphasizes the following:

 

  • Develop innovative products and services that attract its target customers and address inefficiencies in the Indian financial sector;

 

  • Increase its market share in India’s expanding banking and financial services industry by following a disciplined growth strategy focusing on balancing quality and volume growth while delivering high quality customer service;

 

  • Leverage its technology platform and open scalable systems to deliver more products to more customers and to control operating costs;

 

  • Maintain high risk standards for asset quality through disciplined credit risk management;

 

  • Continue to develop products and services that reduce its cost of funds;

 

  • Focus on healthy earnings growth and low volatility; and integrate their activities in community development, social responsibility and environmental responsibility with their business practices and operations

 

 

FINANCIAL INCLUSION

 

Over the last few years, the Bank has been working on a number of initiatives to promote Financial Inclusion across identified sections of rural and semi urban, under-banked and un-banked consumers. These initiatives target segments of the population that have limited or no access to the formal banking system by building a robust and sustainable model that provides relevant services and viable timely credit that ultimately results in economically uplifting its customers and substitutes borrowings at usurious rates.

 

The Bank’s initiatives in the rural or deeper geography dovetails into its financial inclusion plans and also complements its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative where the endeavor has been to provide banking services which are viable both for the customer and the Bank.

 

The Bank’s financial inclusion initiatives have been integrated across its various businesses, and product groups. As of March 31, 2013 the Bank had brought over 6.4 million households who were hitherto excluded from basic banking services, into the banking fold.

HDFC BANK SAYS GOT AN I-T ENQUIRY FOLLOWING COBRAPOST EXPOSE

                                                               June 27, 2013

 

Mumbai, Jun 27 (PTI) Following the Cobra post expose, private sector lender HDFC Bank received an Income Tax enquiry but it was not an assesses in the case.


"Yes, there was a tax enquiry and they had detailed discussions with our people concerned and the tax authorities are satisfied with our responses," bank chairman C M Vasudev told shareholders at the bank's annual general meeting here.


HDFC Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Aditya Puri, however, clarified that the bank had appeared before the Income Tax department as a witness, and not as a tax assesses.


"We have met the tax authorities. Please remember, we have not met them as a tax assesses, we have met them as a witness," he told reporters.


The Cobra post expose purportedly showed officials of the country's top three private sector lenders -- ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Axis Bank -- offering services which violated the existing money laundering and `know your customer'' norms

.
Following this, the I-T department had sent notices to all the three lenders, seeking explanation on their positions for possible tax evasion.


Answering a query regarding the impact on the business of the bank, Vasudev said, "I don't imagine that genuine sort of business should get affected," adding that only the numbers posted next year will show the results.


He said the bank has a whistleblower policy in place and all the cases which come under that are seriously looked into.


Puri said the bank plans to open 300 branches on top of its over 3,000 already operating branches this year and added it takes up to three years for a branch to break-even.


Around 53 per cent of its branches at present are in semi-urban and rural areas, Puri said, adding the proportion will go up this year.

 

HDFC BANK NET UP 30% AGAIN BUT BAD LOANS RISE MARGINALLY

Jul 17, 2013

 

HDFC Bank posted on Wednesday a 30 percent rise in first-quarter net profits, in line with expectations, boosted by higher fee income and credit growth.

 

The Mumbai-based lender, India’s third largest in terms of assets, has posted profit growth of more than 30 percent every quarter for the last decade.

 

Net profit rose to Rs 18400.000 millions in the quarter ended June from about Rs 14170.000 millions a year earlier. Net interest income grew nearly 21 percent to 44.16 billion rupees.

 

According to Thomson Reuters, analysts had expected a net profit of Rs 18460.000 millions for the bank. HDFC competes with bigger local rivals like State Bank of India and ICICI Bank.

 

Asset quality, valued by the market at about $27 billion, worsened slightly, with net nonperforming loans as a percentage of total assets at 0.3 percent compared with 0.2 percent a year ago.  Gross nonperforming assets remained unchanged quarter on quarter at 1 percent.

 

The bank’s net interest margins, however, remained flat at 4.6 percent, while net interest income rose 26.8 percent to Rs 44190.000 millions against Rs 34840.000 millions (YoY).

HDFC Bank’s conservative lending strategies have helped it maintain consistently strong growth and outperform local peers struggling with an increase in bad loans.

 

The Bank’s total Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) (computed as per Basel III guidelines) stood at 15.5% for the first quarter of FY14 as against a regulatory requirement of 9%.

 

Bank’s distribution network also grew to 3,119 branches and 11,088 ATMs in 1,891 cities at the end of the June quarter.

 

RBI PENALISES AXIS BANK, HDFC BANK AND ICICI BANK

JUNE 10, 2013

 

The Reserve Bank has imposed a monetary penalty on Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank for violating Reserve Bank of India instructions. The details of the penalty are:

Penalty amount

Axis Bank Limited

50.010

HDFC Bank Limited

45.000

ICICI Bank Limited

10.010

 

The penalties have been imposed in exercise of powers vested in the Reserve Bank under the provisions of Section 47(A)(1)( c ) read with Section 46(4)(i) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949


 It may be recalled that the Reserve Bank of India had carried out a scrutiny of books of accounts, internal control, compliance systems and processes of these three banks at their corporate offices and some branches during March / April 2013 to investigate into the allegations of contravention of KYC/AML guidelines against them. The scrutiny of these three banks revealed violation of certain regulations and instructions issued by Reserve Bank of India, namely,

  • non-observance of certain safeguards in respect of arrangement of “at par” payment of cheques drawn by cooperative banks,

 

  • non-adherence to certain aspects of know your customer (KYC) norms and anti money laundering (AML) guidelines like risk categorisation and periodical review of risk profiling of account holders,

 

  • Non-adherence of KYC for walk in customers including for sale of third party products, omission in filing of cash transaction reports (CTRs) in respect of some cash transactions, sale of gold coins for cash beyond Rs. 50000,

 

  • not-obtaining of permanent account number (PAN) card details or form 60/61 as required,

 

  • non-verification of source of funds credited to a few non-resident ordinary (NRO) accounts,

 

  • Failure to re-designate a few accounts as NRO accounts though required, non-submission of proper information called for by the reserve Bank, etc.

 

The investigation did not reveal any prima facie evidence of money laundering. However, any conclusive inference in this regard can be drawn only by an end to end investigation of the transactions by tax and enforcement agencies.


 Based on the findings of the scrutiny, the Reserve Bank issued a show cause notice to each of these banks, in response to which the individual banks submitted written replies. After considering the facts of each case and individual bank’s reply, as also, personal submissions, information submitted and documents furnished, the Reserve Bank came to the conclusion that some of the violations were substantiated and warranted imposition of monetary penalty as determined above.

 
A similar scrutiny was also conducted at the corporate offices of 36 other banks during April and May 2013. The process of follow up action in respect of these banks is at different stages of its completion.
