ABOUT THE BANKING INDUSTRY:

A bank is a financial institution who acts as a payment agent to customers and to borrow and
lend money. Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18 thcentury. The first bank was
the General Bank of India, which started in the year 1786, and The Bank of Hindustan. The
banking regulation act of India, 1949 regulates the Indian banking industry, and it has classified
the banks into two major categories, namely, scheduled banks and non- scheduled banks.
The banking industry is one of the huge sectors of banking and finance that has existed in human
civilization in some form for thousands of years. There are many banks in the world and they all
are usually regulated by the worlds governments so as to curb corruption and also protect the
money of the general public. In todays world, the banking industry plays a major part in
financial dealings, as it is one of the most biggest and popular means for investing, borrowing,
and storing money.
The oldest bank still in existence is the State Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of
Calcutta in June 1806.

Private Banks:
Private Banks in India is a part of Indian banking sector which are owned by either an individual
or a general partner. Private Banks are usually not incorporated. These are the banks in which the
greater part of stake or equity is held by the private shareholders and not by the government. The
word private denotes that the customer service is rendered in a more personalized manner.

Public Banks:
Public banks are the banks wherein the majority stake is held by the government. Therefore, the
banks in which more than 50% of stake is held by the government are called the public sector
banks. In India there are 21 public sector banks in total. A public bank is a bank or a financial
institution in which state or the public actors are the owners. Thus, it is a company under the
state control.
Therefore, to conclude, the major difference between the two banks is that the private banks are
the banks in which the government interference is less, whereas government holdings are more
than 50% in the public banks.

Contribution of HDFC bank in the economy:

HDFC Bank has won award for offering products which are new and innovative. It thus
contributes towards the economy. The bank has also reduced the poverty by providing more

History of HDFC bank:

HDFC Bank popularly named as Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited was
founded by Hasmukh Bhai Parakh in the year 1977. In the year 1994, the HDFC Bank was
incorporated.

The bank was promoted by The Housing Development Finance Corporation

which is the India's largest housing finance company. The Bank started operations as in January
1995. On 26 February 2000, Times Bank Limited owned by The Times Group (Bennett,
Coleman & Co.) was merged with HDFC Bank Ltd. This was the first merger of two private
banks in India. Shareholders of Times Bank received 1 share of HDFC Bank for every 5.75
shares of Times Bank. On 23 May 2008, HDFC Bank acquired Centurion Bank of Punjab taking

10 | P a g e

22,000 crore and net advances of about Rs. 89,000 crore. The balance sheet size of the combined
entity is more than Rs. 1, 63,000crore.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT FACTORS AFFECTING BANKING

INDUSTRY
Business environment includes the internal as well as external factors that affect the operation of
a business. Therefore, business environment is the sum total of the forces or the surroundings
that have an influence on the business operations. The internal environmental factors are usually
controllable because the management has control over it. Whereas the external environmental
factors are difficult to control by the company. There are two types of external environment:
Microenvironment and Macro environment.
It is important for every company to do environment analysis that is scanning the environment so
that it may identify its threats and opportunities and improve its planning process.

Rebound in the housing marketAccording to the recent reports, there have been some improvements in the national
housing market this year. The average sale price for existing homes in June 2012
showed an increase of 7.9% when compared to the last year according to the National
Association of REALTORS (NAR) reported that The median home sale price in York
County for August was $142,000 down from $142,500 in 2011 according to a report by
The REALTORS Association of York and Adams Counties (RAYAC) . There were
around 349 properties sold in August 2012 compared to 322-sold last year. In August
11 | P a g e

2012, Adams Countys median home sale price was $162,000 with a total of 73 properties
sold compared to 2011 when the median home sale price was $163,000 and 58 properties
sold according to the report by RAYAC

CompetitorsThe mortgage and banking industries have always been very competitive. (In York
County alone, there are 275 banking and lending institutions.) The historically low
interest rates are fueling buyers to shop around for the best possible deals, while it is
believed that new federal regulations will make it harder for small community banks to
compete with the larger regional and national banks.

Interest ratesThe interest rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at the end of August 2012 was 3.55%
while a 15 year fixed rate mortgage was 2.86% according to Freddie Mac,

Presidential electionUndoubtedly the economy is the center of attention in the future presidential election.
Whoever the next president may be will have a huge effect on the future of real estate and
mortgages. Economic and employment policies will help drive the affordability and
sustainability of the real estate market while applying or revoking the Dodd-Frank Act
will largely impact the mortgage market.

Supply and demandThe increase in average sale price nationwide is mainly due to a tightening in housing
supply in markets across the nation. The shortage of inventory is limiting the buying
opportunities and therefore is driving prices up. Even though, average prices are raising
some, many homeowners are still upside down on their mortgages (they owe more than
their home is currently worth). This is the main cause for the tightening in the housing
supply. Demand for housing is being fueled by historically low mortgage interest

rates. Buyers are starting to get back out there and take advantage of the interest rates
while they last.

Role of private sector bank in Indian economy:

The private sector banks play a very important role in the Indian economy. The contribution of
private sector banks in the Indian economy over the last 15 years has been incredible.
Skilled Management:

thought into banking system. It aids the public sector banks to develop similar expertise and
knowledge.

services, etc.) and help the industries to attain proficiency in their particular areas by providing
quality service and control.

new fields. For example, introduction of computerized operations, credit card business, ATM
service, etc.

Foreign Investment:

13 | P a g e

The private sector banks encourage foreign investment. The foreign banks have influence on the
foreign investment in the country.
Helps to access foreign capital markets:
The foreign banks in the private sector help the Indian companies and the government agencies
to meet out their financial requirements from international capital markets. This service becomes
easier for them because of the presence of their head offices/other branches in important foreign
centers. In this way they help a large extent in the promotion of trade and industry in the country.
Customer service:
Earlier, the government enterprises ruled the Indian market but today the situation has been
changed. With the rise of Indian private sector companies, the customers needs have got
more personalized and they are given speedy services.

Employment:
The importance of private sector in Indian economy has been very commendable in
generating employment and thus reducing the poverty. It thus increases the quality of life of
the people, also it leads to increased access to essential commodities and also the value of
human capital has been increased due to this.

Other current assets

Here current liabilities include:

-

Trade payables
Other current liabilities
Short-term provisions

Interpretation:
The current ratio is a financial ratio that helps to measure the liquidity of the firm. It
tells us about the company ability to meet its obligation. It shows that whether the firm
has enough resource to pay off its debts or liabilities. It compares a firm's current
assets to its current liabilities. It is expressed as follows:

The ideal current ratio is 2:1. In the year 2012, hdfc banks current ratio is 2.09: 1 and
in the year 2013, the current ratio is 2.18:1. In both the year the firm is facing and ideal
ratio, which means that the bank is able to meet its debt on time. Thus, this shows that
in the year 2012 and 2013, the hdfc bank,s financial strength is very good and strong. If
the bank will not meet its ideal ratio in any case, it will have problem to meet its shortterm obligations.

NETPROFIT RATIO= (Net profit/Net sales) * 100

18 | P a g e

For the year 2012: 5409/21001*100

= 25.75%
For the year 2013: 6682/23210*100
= 28.78 %

Interpretation:
The net profit ratio is a financial ratio, which helps to measure the profitability of the firm. The
net profit ratio shows that how much a company is efficient in managing its work and costs. In
short it shows the profit making capacity of the firm. Every firm now a days compute this rate at
the end so as to check whether they are successful than before or not, by comparing the ratio
with the last years one. A higher ratio indicates the efficiency of the firm. Hdfc banks net profit
ratio in the year 2012 was 25.75% and in the year 2013 it increased by around 3% and reached
28.78%. This implies that the HDFC bank is very efficient, as it has managed to reduce its cost
and increase its profits.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT = Profit after tax/Shareholders fund*100

For the year 2012:5409/30308*100
= 17.8 %
For the year 2013:6682/37127*100
= 17.9 %

Interpretation:

19 | P a g e

Return on investment (ROI) is the performance measure used to evaluate the

efficiency of investment. It compares the degree and timing of gains from investment
directly to the degree and timing of investment costs. It is one of most frequently used
approaches for assessing the financial consequences of business investments,
decisions, or actions.
If an investment has a positive ROI and there are no other chances with a higher ROI,
then the investment should be undertaken. A higher ROI means that investment gains
compare positively to the investment costs. Hdfc banks return on investment ratio is
more or less in the same year.

EXPENSE RATIO = Total expenses/Net Sales*100

For the year 2012: 8007/21001*100
=38.12%
For the year 2013:9742/23210*100
= 41.9%

Interpretation:
The expense ratio shows a relationship between the total expenses incurred by the firm to the
total revenue or sales. In the year 2012 , the hdfc banks expense ratio was 38.12% and in the
year 2013 the expense ratio increased to 41.9% . This means in the year 2013 the banks
expenses increased by almost 9 to 10% , which is not a good indicator . The company expenses
are more than its sales and therefore it must try to reduce its cost to increase the profits.

20 | P a g e

DEBT EQUITY RATIO = Debt/Equity

For the year 2012: 324/30308
=0.01
For the year 2013: 370/37127
=9.9

Interpretation:

It is a leverage ratio, which indicates a relationship between the debt and equity. The ratio
indicates the total liabilities of the firm and the total shareholders equity both the figures are
present in the companys balance sheet.
Lower the ratio, better it is. Higher the ratio, higher the risk. The ideal ratio is
1:1. In the year 2012, the HDFC banks ratio is 0.01. This means the
company relies less on the outsiders and loans. This is a good indicator,
which means the company was doing well in the last year. But in the year

21 | P a g e

2013, the ratio increased drastically. The ratio in the year 2013 was 9.9,
which means that the bank borrowed a lot of money from the outsiders.

Conclusion:

HDFC bank is one of the leading private banks of the country

It has made his mark due to its unbeaten reliability

22 | P a g e

The bank has satisfied the people by providing speedy services

The companys current ratio is quite good which shows the ability
of the firm to meet its short-term obligations

The bank managed to increase its net profit by 3% in the year

2013

This shows the internal financial strength of the company

It has benefitted the consumers in many ways by introducing

new and innovative products

It deals with the people at personal level which gives it an edge

over the other banks

23 | P a g e

Suggestions:

The banks debt-equity ratio has increased in the year 2013. In 2012, the
ratio was 0.01 but in the year 2013, it increased to 9.9. This means that the
debts or liabilities have increased. It must therefore try and reduce its
liabilities

Secondly, the expense ratio in the year 2012 was 38.12% and reached
41.9% in the year 2013. The bank should therefore try to minimize its
expenses
