HDFC BANK LTD (PERSONAL LOAN)
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION The banking sector is the most dominant sector of the financial system in India. Significant progress has been made with respect to the banking sector in the past liberalization period. The financial health of the commercial banks has improved manifolds with respect to capital adequacy, profitability, asset quality and risk management. Further, deregulation has opened new opportunities for banks to increase revenue by diversifying into investment banking, insurance, credit cards, depository services, mortgage, securitization, etc. Liberalization has created a more competitive environment in the banking sector.
Indian Banking Sector: Banking in India has its origin as early as the Vedic period. It is believed that the transition from money lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu thinker, who has devoted a section of his work to deposits and advances and laid down rules relating to rates of interest. During the Mogul period, the indigenous bankers played a very important role in lending money and financing foreign trade and commerce. During the days of the East India Company, it was the turn of the agency houses to carry on the banking business. The General Bank of India was the first Joint Stock Bank to be established in the year 1786. The others that followed were the Bank of Hindustan and the Bengal Bank. The Bank of Hindustan is reported to have continued till 1906 while the other two failed in the meantime. In the first half of the 19th century the East India Company established three banks; the Bank of Bengal in 1809,
the Bank of Bombay in 1840 and the Bank of Madras in 1843. These three banks also known as Presidency Banks, were independent units and functioned well.
These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and a new bank, the Imperial Bank of India was established on 27th January 1921. With the passing of the State Bank of India Act in 1955 the undertaking of the Imperial Bank of India was taken over by the newly constituted State Bank of India. The Reserve Bank which is the Central Bank was created in 1935 by passing Reserve Bank of India Act 1934. In the wake of the Swadeshi Movement, a number of banks with Indian management were established in the country namely, Punjab National Bank Ltd, Bank of India Ltd, Canara Bank Ltd, Indian Bank Ltd, the Bank of Baroda Ltd, the Central Bank of India Ltd. On July 19, 1969, 14 major banks of the country were nationalized and in 15th April 1980 six more commercial private sector banks were also taken over by the government. Today the commercial banking system in

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE a. Origin and development of the industry The origin of banking in India is traceable in ancient time through the modern banking hardly 200 years old. The main functions of a bank are to accept deposits and grant loans. There are evidences of these functions being performed by a section o the community in the Vedic periods. There are many references of Debt in the Vedic Literature. During the Ramayana and Mahabharata eras banking, which was a side businesses during the Vedic period, became a fulltime business activity for the people. During the Smriti period, the banking business was carried on by the members of the Vanish community and Manu speaks of earning through interest as the business of Vaishyas. He accepted deposits from the public, granted loans against pledges and personal security, granted simple open loans, acted as bailee for his customers, subscribed to public loans by granting loans to kings, acted as treasurer and banker to the state and managed the currency of the country. Indigenous bankers used to maintain a regular system of accounts and borrowers used to sign the loan deeds. Money changing came into vogue and the state regulation of the business became more systematic. Indigenous bills of exchange came also in use. The maximum rates of interest were fixed.
Development from Independence until 1991 At the time of Independence in 1947, the banking system in India was fairly well developed with over 600 commercial banks operating in the country. However, soon after Independence, the view that the banks from the colonial heritage were biased in favor of working-capital loans for trade and large firms and against extending credit to small-scale enterprises, agriculture and commoners, gained prominence. To ensure better coverage of the banking needs of larger parts of the economy and the rural constituencies, the Government of India (GOI) created the State Bank of India (SBI) in 1955. Despite the progress in the 1950s and 1960s, it was felt that the creation of the SBI was not far reaching enough since the banking needs of small scale industries and the agricultural sector were still not covered sufficiently. Following the Nationalization Act of 1969, the 14 largest public banks were nationalized which raised the Public Sector Banks' (PSB) share of deposits from 31% to 86%. The two main objectives of the nationalizations were rapid branch expansion and the channeling of credit in line with the priorities of the five-year plans. To achieve these goals, the newly nationalized banks received quantitative targets for the expansion of their branch network and for the percentage of credit they had to extend to certain sectors and groups in the economy, the so-called priority sectors, which initially stood at 33.3%. The main policy changes were the introduction of Treasury Bills, the creation of money markets, and a partial deregulation of interest rates. Besides the establishment of priority sector credits and the nationalization of banks, the government took further control over banks' funds by raising the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and the cash reserve ratio (CRR). From a level of 2% for the CRR and 25% for the SLR in 1960, both witnessed a steep increase until 1991 to 15% and 38.5% respectively. In summary, India's banking system was at least until an integral part of
10
the government's spending policies. Through the CRR and the SLR more than 50% of savings had either to be deposited with the RBI or used to buy government securities. Of the remaining savings, 40% had to be directed to priority sectors that were defined by the government. Besides these restrictions on the use of funds, the government had also control over the price of the funds, i.e. the interest rates on savings and loans. This was about to change at the beginning of the 1990s when a balance-of-payments crisis was a trigger for far-reaching reforms.
Developments after 1991 The 1991 report of the Narasimham Committee served as the basis for the initial banking sector reforms. In the following years, reforms covered the areas of interest rate deregulation, directed credit rules, statutory pre-emptions and entry deregulation for both domestic and foreign banks. The objective of banking sector reforms was in line with the overall goals of the 1991 economic reforms of opening the economy, giving a greater role to markets in setting prices and allocating resources, and increasing the role of the private sector. Statutory pre-emption The degree of financial repression in the Indian banking sector was significantly reduced with the lowering of the CRR and SLR, which were regarded as one of the main causes of the low profitability and high interest rate spreads in the banking system. During the 1960s and 1970s the CRR was around 5%, but until 1991 it increased to its maximum legal limit of 15%. From its peak in 1991, it has declined gradually to a low of 4.5% in June 2003. In October 2004 it was slightly increased to 5% to counter inflationary pressures, but the RBI remains committed to
11
decrease the CRR to its statutory minimum of 3%. The SLR has seen a similar development. The reduction of the CRR and SLR resulted in increased flexibility for banks in determining both the volume and terms of lending.
Priority sector lending Besides the high level of statutory pre-emption, the priority sector advances were identified as one of the major reasons for the below average profitability of Indian banks. The Narasimham Committee therefore recommended a reduction from 40% to 10%. However, this recommendation has not been implemented and the targets of 40% of net bank credit for domestic banks and 32% for foreign banks have remained the same.
Public Sector Banks At the end of the 1980s, operational and allocation inefficiencies caused by the distorted market mechanism led to a deterioration of Public Sector Banks' profitability. Enhancing the profitability of PSBs became necessary to ensure the stability of the financial system. The restructuring measures for PSBs were threefold and included recapitalization, debt recovery and partial privatization. Prior to any privatization, the balance sheets of PSBs had to be cleaned up through capital injections. In the fiscal years 1991/92 and 1992/93 alone, the GOI provided almost Rs40 billion to clean up the balance sheets of PSBs. Between 1993 and 1999 another
12
Rs120 billion were injected in the nationalized banks. In total, the recapitalization amounted to 2% of GDP.
b. Growth and present status of the Industry The financial sector is in a process of rapid transformation. Reforms are continuing as part of the overall structural reforms aimed at improving the productivity and efficiency of the economy. The role of an integrated financial infrastructure is to stimulate and sustain economic growth. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has successfully introduced a regime where interest rates are more in line with market forces. Financial institutions have combated the reduction in interest rates and pressure on their margins by constantly innovating and targeting attractive consumer segments. Banks and trade financiers have also played an important role in promoting foreign trade of the country. The Indian banking system has a large geographic and functional coverage. Presently the total asset size of the Indian banking sector is US$ 270 billion while the total deposits amount to US$ 220 billion with a branch network exceeding 66,000 branches across the country. Revenues of the banking sector have grown at 6 per cent CAGR over the past few years to reach a size of US$ 15 billion. While commercial banks cater to short and medium term financing requirements, national level and state level financial institutions meet longer-term requirements. This distinction is getting blurred with commercial banks extending project finance.
13
Banks, as we all know, are subjected to more intense regulation as compared to the non-financial firms. Bank regulation is now increasingly getting risk-centric. This process had its origin in the Cooke Committee or the Basel I proposals which for the first time prescribed a risk-based capital adequacy framework for banks by recognizing that different counterparties had different risks and therefore had to be risk-weighted differently
c. Future of the Industry The interplay between policy and regulatory interventions and management strategies will determine the performance of Indian banking over the next few years. Legislative actions will shape the regulatory stance through six key elements: 1) industry structure and sector consolidation 2) freedom to deploy capital 3) regulatory coverage 4) labour reforms and human capital development 5) corporate governance 6) support for creating industry utilities and service bureaus.
Management success will be determined on three fronts:
14
1) fundamentally upgrading organizational capability to stay in tune with the changing market 2) adopting value-creating M&A as an avenue for growth 3) Continuously innovating to develop new business models to access untapped opportunities. Changes in regulations and bank capabilities reduce intermediation costs leading to increased growth, innovation and productivity. Banking becomes an even greater driver of GDP growth and employment and large sections of the population gain access to quality banking products. Management is able to overhaul bank organizational structures, focus on industry consolidation and transform the banks into industry shapers. The Reserve Bank of India has, in the service of our country, a proven track record and professionalism, which have lent it considerable credibility - both domestically and globally. This credibility enables the RBI to confidently carry the reforms forward to credibly maintain price and financial stability, while enabling self-accelerating equitable growth at elevated levels The Indian financial sector is ready for consolidation, said 95 per cent of the respondents. Given the increased competition, and the implementation of Basel II norms in the near future, the banking industry of the country would be better off with six to seven banks as big as State Bank of India, said the survey. Areas that need improvement include diversification of markets beyond big cities, human resources systems, size of banks, high transaction costs, and infrastructure and labor inflexibilities. some strategies that can help India achieve a world class banking system are
15
consolidation, strict corporate governance norms, and regional expansion within the country and outside, higher FDI limits and Free Trade Agreements with countries where India has comparative advantage in banking sector. India has among the lowest penetration of retail loans in Asia. Though the sector has been growing at around 15 per cent, there is still a huge opportunity to tap into. Retail loans and lending to small and medium enterprises will emerge as the two biggest areas of growth in the future for the Indian banking sector The total assets in the banking sector today are estimated to be at Rs 17 trillion and total deposits are estimated at Rs 13 trillion. There are over 290 scheduled banks in the country today, of which 190 are regional rural banks. There are just 9 Indian private sector banks. Together the banking industry offers 66,000 branches across India.
