PREFACE
The introduction and application of the concept of customer services entered in a

welcoming way in India only after independence. The banking system in India has come
a long way during the last two centuries. Its growth was faster and the coverage wider
since 1969. In 1969a major position of banking sector was entrusted to the public
sector. This process continued and embraced few private banks in 1980.
The transfer of ownership of banks from the public to private was aimed at entrusting the
banks with greater responsibilities for the economic development of India by taking banking
services to the masses and taking special care of the weaker section of the society and the
priority sector of the economy. Though the number of banks offices magnitude and the
variety of their operations has grown considerably during the period of near about three
decades, but it appears that the banking sector has entered into serious among customers.
For overcoming this problem, banking industry should seek introspection and adopt
refined management techniques. It has been endeavor of this study to analyze the
present state of various banks keeping in view the primary data has been collected
regarding the present state of loan schemes in various banks by using a questionnaire.

strongest growth in any six months since H1 FY04 and uptrend in Industrial Cycle with Average
Index of Industrial Production growth at 10.2% being the strongest run in the past 11 years.
On political front, the Indian Government has signed nuclear deal with America
indicating Indias importance in the global context opening up many opportunities. Along
with this, Chinese President Hu is expected to visit India. This will improve trade and
other ties between two of the fastest growing economies.
In Capital Market, Strong foreign inflows with Portfolio flows of nearby USD 9.2bn took BSE
Sensex to 14,000 + (50% higher) compared to FY 05-06. The Indian corporate raised USD 6bn
by issuing Initial public offer in India and abroad. High Credit growth at 30%, it continued the
trend of last 5 years where it has averaged around 25% and lastly M&A activity which was at its
peak with sectors beyond IT and Pharma making global & domestic acquisitions.
The high growth sectors are Power where power ministry and local private players
announce 9 ultra mega projects (4,000 MW each) provides visibility on power & infra
front.
Retail - a Point of inflection with major Indian corporate announcing plans, entry of world
majors like Wal-Mart & foreign investment allowed in single brand retail and Real Estate
with major huge build-out plans and Special Economic Zone policy of government is
major driver of growth.

INTRODUCTION
In India, given the relatively underdeveloped capital market and with little internal resources,
firms and economic entities depend, largely, on financial intermediaries to meet their fund
requirements. In terms of supply of credit, financial intermediaries can broadly be categorized as
institutional and non-institutional. The major institutional suppliers of credit in India are banks
and non-bank financial institutions (that is, development financial institutions or DFIs), other
financial institutions (FIs), and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs). The non-institutional or
unorganized sources of credit include indigenous bankers and money-lenders. Information
about the unorganized sector is limited and not readily available.
An important feature of the credit market is its term structure:
Short-term credit
Medium-term credit
Long-term credit.
While banks and NBFCs predominantly cater for short-term needs, FIs provide mostly
medium and long-term funds.

CONCEPTUALIZATION
The last decade has seen many positive developments in the Indian banking sector. The policy
makers, which comprise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Ministry of Finance and related
government and financial sector regulatory entities, have made several notable efforts to
improve regulation in the sector. The sector now compares favourably with banking sectors in
the region on metrics like growth, profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). A few banks
have established an outstanding track record of innovation, growth and value creation. This is
reflected in their market valuation. However, improved regulations, innovation, growth and value
creation in the sector remain limited to a small part of it.
The cost of banking intermediation in India is higher and bank penetration is far lower
than in other markets. Indias banking industry must strengthen itself significantly if it
has to support the modern and vibrant economy which India aspires to be. While the
onus for this change lies mainly with bank managements, an enabling policy and
regulatory framework will also be critical to their success.
The failure to respond to changing market realities has stunted the development of the
financial sector in many developing countries. A weak banking structure has been
unable to fuel continued growth, which has harmed the long-term health of their
economies. In this white paper, we emphasize the need to act both decisively and
quickly to build an enabling, rather than a limiting, banking sector in India
16
FOCUS OF THE PROBLEM
The research report concentrates on macro and micro factors affecting Banking
Industry, Evolution of Banking Industry and its current status. Various regulatory and
reform processes also affect banking industry. The report also throws a light on them.
The report finally ends with valuation of major players in banking Industry and the major
challenges faced by this industry.
1. Banking Challenges
It is expected that the Indian banking and finance system will be globally competitive.
For this the market players will have to be financially strong and operationally efficient.
Capital would be a key factor in building a successful institution. The banking and
finance system will improve competitiveness through a process of consolidation, either
through mergers and acquisitions through strategic alliances. Technology would be the
key to the competitiveness of banking and finance system. Indian players will keep pace
with global leaders in the use of banking technology.
In such a scenario, on-line accessibility will be available to the customers from any part
of the globe; Anywhere and Anytime banking will be realized truly and fully. In this
context, the research paper approached Indian Banking System as the shape of the
banking sector will be the result of a strong interplay between the decisions taken by
policy makers and actions of bank managements.
17
2. Banking Evolution & Regulatory Framework
Financial Sector Reforms set in motion in 1991 have greatly changed the face of Indian
Banking. The banking industry has moved gradually from a regulated environment to a
deregulated market economy. The market developments kindled by liberalization and
globalization have resulted in changes in the intermediation role of banks. The pace of
transformation has been more significant in recent times with technology acting as a catalyst.
While the banking system has done fairly well in adjusting to the new market dynamics, greater
challenges lie ahead. Financial sector would be opened up for greater international competition
under WTO. Banks will have to gear up to meet stringent prudential capital adequacy norms
under Basel II. In addition to WTO and Basel II, the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) such as with
Singapore, may have an impact on the shape of the banking industry. Banks will also have to
cope with challenges posed by technological innovations in banking. Banks need to prepare for
the changes. In this context the need for drawing up a Road Map to the future assumes
relevance. The last decade has seen many positive developments in the Indian Banking Sector.
The policy makers, which comprise the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Ministry of Finance and
related government and financial sector regulatory entities, have made several notable efforts to
improve regulation in the sector.
The sector now compares favorably with banking sectors in the region on metrics like growth,
profitability and non-performing assets (NPAs). A few banks have established an outstanding
track record of innovation, growth and value creation. This is reflected in their market valuation.
However, improved regulations, innovation, growth and value creation in the sector remain
limited to a small part of it. The cost of banking intermediation in India is higher and bank
18
penetration is far lower than in other markets. Indias banking industry must strengthen
itself significantly, if it has to support the modern and vibrant economy which India
aspires to be, while the onus for this change lies mainly with bank managements, and
enabling policy and regulatory framework will also be critical to their success.
3. Internal Hindrances to Banking Industry
The research focuses on emphasizing the need of decisively and quickly to build and
enabling, rather than a limiting, banking sector in India. The major challenges ahead for
bank management are as follows:
First, cost management, a key to sustainability of bank profits as well as their long-term
viability.
Second, recovery management, which is a key to the stability of the banking sector.
Third, technological intensity of banking, an area where India happens to be a world

leader in information technology, but its usage by our banking system is somewhat
muted. It is wise for Indian banks to exploit this globally state-of-art expertise,
domestically available, to their fullest advantage.
Fourth, risk management, Banks can, on their part, formulate early warning indicators
suited to their own requirements, business profile and risk appetite in order to better
monitor and manage risks.
Fifth, governance because the quality of corporate governance in the banks becomes
critical as competition intensifies, banks strive to retain their client base, and regulators
move out of controls and micro-regulation.
19
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope of the study will be restricted to selected Banks.
Many of the respondents did not think hard enough while choosing the specific point.
This could have led to a biased view and thus affected the analysis.
There may be other events during the Clean and Window Period which may distort
the results.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Problem Definition:
22
To determine and analyze the hidden potential in Banking sector in India so as to

suggest the investors whether to invest in shares of Banking Companies.
Objective:
Discover insights into and develop an understanding of the various Macro and Micro
Economic Factors that have bearing on the functioning of the Banking sector.
Evaluate the performance of some of the banks based on the past data and forecast the
future prospects.
Valuation :
The project involves valuation of major Indian Banks including ICICI Bank, SBI and HDFC Bank.
The methodology followed is Target Pricing, which includes estimating growth rate by regression
on historical sales to forecast next year sales, earning and Profit and Loss account. Then EPS
is calculated which is multiplied to Historical P/E to forecast intrinsic value of share.
Result:
All shares are undervalued and expected to give positive risk adjusted returns to
investors. Since the intrinsic value is more than current market price for all the
companies, the share can be recommended to conservative investors.
RESEARCH DESIGN
23
Exploratory Research Design because the problem required an in-depth study of all the
related variables.
Past information and forecasts:
Collected the past information in the form of details of the various accounting
statements (Income Statement, Balance Sheet etc.), including the sales for the past 10
years (1997-2006). Forecasts are done in relation to the future performance in terms of
sales for HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, and SBI. Other forecasts include the EPS calculation
and comparison of forecasted Future Target Price with the Current Market Price.

INDIAN ECONOMY-MACRO FACTORS

AFFECTING INDIAN BANKING
Major Changes in FY 2006-07
Robust economic growth in FY07. GDP is increased by over 8% in FY07; Agriculture,

industry and services to grow at 1.7%, 10.5% and 10.7% respectively
Rabi season experiences normal monsoon
IIP (Index of Industrial Production) growth dips in October 2006. The poor performance of
the manufacturing sector, which forms 80% of the IIP index lead to a blip in its robust growth
trend for the past 9 months. Both mining and electricity grew faster than last year at 4% and
9.7% Vs 0.1% and 7.7% respectively
WPI (Wholesale Price Index) rose to 5.43% for the week ending December 16; higher
inflation in primary commodities remains. The inflation in the coming weeks may remain
high due to lower base effect.
CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio) hike of 50 bps to absorb Rs.135bn from the system. The
CRR rate hike of 50bps came as a surprise but it reflects that RBIs intention of
controlling credit off-take and liquidity management by raising repo and reverse repo
rate could not achieve the desired results due to which RBI used CRR rate hike a new
instrument to control liquidity
Exports growth back on track in November 2006. On the basis of the BoP, in H1FY06
exports grew at 23%, imports at 25.3% resulting in the trade balance of US$35bn. Net
invisibles grew by 17.6% to US$23.5bn and capital inflows (in the form of FDI, NRI
deposits and ECB) at US$20.3bn (a yoy growth of 49%) brought the balance of
payment to US$8.6bn, (a yoy growth of 33%).
Rupee appreciates further against dollar and yen but continues to depreciate against Euro and
pound on an YTD basis as on December 2006. In real terms, from April 2006 to October 2006,
the rupee appreciated by 1.8% vis--vis a basket of six currencies.
28
The Indian Economy has seen major Macro changes in:
1. Gross Domestic Product:
The Indian Economy is driven by the strong fundamentals and uptrend in industrial
cycle. The Indian economy maintained a strong growth momentum for the third
successive year in 2005-06 with real GDP growth accelerating to 8.4% 2005-06. The
services sector recorded double digit growth to contribute nearly three-fourths of
incremental GDP. A consistent increase in domestic investment rate from 23.0% of GDP
in 2001-02 to 30.1% in 2004-05 supported a high credit growth witnessed during the
past few years. The manufacturing sector the key growth driver for banking credit,
clocked a healthy growth of 9.0% during FY06.
Source: www.rbi.org.inX
In FY 06-07, services sector account for major 55% of India GDP followed by 25% in
Industrial sector and 20% in agriculture sector.
FY07 Vs Q2FY06, the growth rate in GDP components are as follows:
29
Agriculture: 1.7%
Industry: 10.5% Service: 10.7
2. FDI Confidence Index:
Relaxation of foreign direct investment rules has expanded the mountain of capital in
every sector of Indian economy. The government is making efforts in liberalizing the
guidelines and norms for investment through FDI, making them more NRI friendly.
Mainly due to efforts taken by Indian Government, Indian rank 2 nd among all countries in
the world on FDI Confidence Index.
Source: AT Kearney Report, 2005
3. Inflation:
Inflation remained largely benevolent due to investment driven nature of growth and subsidized
nature of oil prices as pass-on of international crude price rise remained incomplete in India.
WPI Inflation has risen to 5.45% for the week ended November 18, 2006 after remaining in the
range of 4.0-5.0% earlier. RBI has repeatedly cautioned that maintaining inflation in the target
range may call for substantial monetary tightening should crude prices persist at high level. The
money supply has grown by 18.7% yoy till November
30
10, 2006 during the current fiscal, which poses a significant threat to RBIs efforts of
containing inflation in the desired range of 5.0-5.5%.
4. Gross Fiscal Deficit:
The gross fiscal deficit (GFD) to GDP ratio for 2005-06 was at 4.1 per cent as
against the budget estimate of 4.3 per cent. Fiscal and revenue deficit for April-
November 2006 widened to 72.8% of BE and 99.7% of BE Vs 74.7% of BE and
91.5% of BE respectively in April-November 2005. The current levels are much
higher than the last months fiscal deficit of 58.6% of BE and revenue deficit of79.4%
of BE. The improvement in the GFD was facilitated by a decline in capital outlay and
the availability of disinvestment proceeds. The revenue deficit, though lower in
absolute terms, remained at budgeted level of 2.7 per cent of GDP in 2005-06.

5. Interest Rate:
The yield on dated government securities (G-Sec) has been moving up since the beginning
of FY05. The yield on 10 year paper began during Q1 to close the quarter at 8.12%. During
July 06, it continue to move up to 8.42% but reacted sharply thereafter to once again come
down to 7.4% at present as the market participants believed that US Fed and other central
banks worldwide would not only pause rate hikes but soon get into rate the current fiscal at
7.50% but moved up quite sharply cut mode.

Indian Banking Sector Experience
India inherited a weak financial system after Independence in 1947. At end-1947, there were
625 commercial banks in India, with an asset base of Rs. 11.51 billion. Commercial banks
mobilized household savings through demand and term deposits, and disbursed credit
primarily to large corporations. Following Independence, the development of rural India was
given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the IBI had till then
confined their operations to the urban sector and were not equipped to respond to the
emergent needs of economic regeneration of the rural areas. In order to serve the economy
in general and the rural sector in particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee
recommended the creation of a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the
IBI, and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. Accordingly, an
act was passed in Parliament in May 1955, and the State Bank of India (SBI) was
constituted on July 1, 1955. More than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking
system thus passed under the direct control of the State. Subsequently in 1959, the State
Bank of India (Subsidiary Bank) Act was passed (SBI Act), enabling the SBI to take over 8
former State-associate banks as its subsidiaries (later named Associates).
The GoI also felt the need to bring about wider diffusion of banking facilities and to change the
uneven distribution of bank lending. The proportion of credit going to industry and trade
increased from a high 83% in 1951 to 90% in 1968. This increase was at the expense of some
crucial segment of the economy like agriculture and the small-scale industrial sector. Bank
failures and mergers resulted in a decline in number of banks from 648 (including 97 scheduled
36
commercial banks or SCBs and 551 non-SCBs) in 1947 to 89 in 1969 (comprising 73 SCBs and
16 non-SCBs). The lop-sided pattern of credit disbursal, and perhaps the spate of bank failures
during the sixties, forced the government to resort to nationalization of banks. In July 1969, the
GoI nationalized 14 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs), each having minimum aggregate
deposits of Rs. 500 million. State-control was considered as a necessary catalyst for economic
growth and ensuring an even distribution of banking facilities. Subsequently, in 1980, the GoI
nationalised another 6 banks2, each having deposits of Rs. 2,000 million and above.
The nationalization of banks was the culmination of pressures to use the banks as public
instruments of development. The GoI imposed `social control on banks. However, by the
1980s, it was generally perceived that the operational efficiency of banks was declining.
Banks were characterized by low profitability, high and growing non-performing assets
(NPAs), and low capital base. Average returns on assets were only around 0.15% in the
second half of the 1980s, and capital aggregated an estimated 1.5% of assets. Poor internal
controls and the lack of proper disclosure norms led to many problems being kept under
cover. The quality of customer service did not keep pace with the increasing expectations.
In 1991, a fresh era in Indian banking began, with the introduction of banking sector reforms
as part of the overall economic liberalization in India.

as the apex bank. The Banking Regulations Act was passed in 1949. This Act brought the RBI
under government control. Under the Act, the RBI received wide-ranging powers in regards to
establishment of new banks, mergers and amalgamations of banks, opening and closing of
branches of banks, maintaining certain standards of banking business, inspection of banks, etc.
The Act also vested licensing powers and the authority to conduct inspections with the RBI.
Banks in India can broadly be classified as regional rural banks or RRBs, scheduled commercial
banks or SCBs, and co-operative banks. The scope of the report includes the SCBs only3.
The SCBs for the purpose of this comment can be classified into the following three categories:
Public sector banks or PSBs (SBI & its associates, and nationalized banks); Private
sector banks (old and new); and
Foreign banks

Credit Growth
The bank lending has expanded in a number of emerging market economies, especially in
Asia and Latin America, in recent years. Bank credit to the private sector, in real terms, was
rising at a rate between 10 and 40 per cent in a number of countries by 2005 (BIS, 2006).
Several factors have contributed to the significant rise in bank lending in emerging
economies such as strong growth, excess liquidity in banking systems reflecting easier
global and domestic monetary conditions, and substantial bank restructuring.
The recent surge in bank lending has been associated with important changes on the
asset side of banks balance sheet. First, credit to the business sector - historically the
most important component of banks assets has been weak, while the share of the
household sector has increased sharply in several countries. Second, banks
investments in Government securities increased sharply until 2004-05. As a result,
commercial banks continue to hold a very large part of their domestic assets in the form
of Government securities - a process that seems to have begun in the mid-1990s

MICRO
FACTORS
MICRO FACTORS AFFECTING INDIAN

BANKING INDUSTRY
Loan Demand:
45
Over the past three years, Indian Banking Industry has seen sustained strength in credit
growth, which is not just a function of economic buoyancy but also the broad-basing of
loan demand. This has recently been articulated by the central bank too:
A contextual analysis of the co-movement between macroeconomic performance and bank

credit in the current phase of the business cycle suggests that factors other than demand
may also be at work: financial deepening from a low base; structural shifts in supply
elasticitys; rising efficiency of credit markets; and competitive pressures augmenting the
overall supply of credit. (Reserve Bank of India, Monetary Policy Review, October 2006).
Loan growth sustained for very long
Source: RBI
The slowdown of the mid-1990s hit the banks very hard because corporate, which accounted for a
lions share of bank credit, went into a less profitable and hence a financial restructuring mode.
There was no retail credit then, banks did not focus on Small and Medium Enterprises and farm
lending was done grudgingly, under compulsion. Along with the diversification of the pie that
46
keeps the tempo of demand intact, after a long time industry has also started
demanding higher levels of credit. In the five years prior to FY05, growth in industrial
credit was almost wholly driven by infrastructure. There is a perceptibly wider
participation from other segments during FY05 and FY06.
If a substantial portion of loan growth gets driven by the banking system taking away market
shares from informal sectors this is clearly happening to farm credit, SMEs and to a limited
extent non-mortgage retail interest rate considerations influencing demand will be relatively
low. SMEs and the rural folk have accessed credit from other sources at exorbitant interest
rates, and hence banks rates going by 200-300bps is not so meaningful. That explains the
apparent lack of correlation between rates that have been rising and loan demand.
Rising funding costs with soft lending rates irrational:
Plenty of historical evidence of return of pricing power to banks:
Concerns are often expressed about banks ability to increase lending rates in the face of
competition and government pressure. The reality is that banks, which led the mortgage
price war, have increased mortgage rate by 200-300bps from the bottom, and is yet to see
significant resistance. That PSU banks raised prime lending rates twice in. Competition from
overseas borrowings is a serious factor only with AAA companies, and banks have reduced
exposure to them considerably during the last 3-4 years. Government stand is
understandably against higher interest rates. However, it is unlikely that the government will
be able to influence the course of interest rates single-handedly.
Inflexibility of deposit growth a myth:
With 100-200bps increase in the card rates of deposits, banks have managed to move the deposit
growth rate from 15-16% to 19- 20%, on a larger base. In the last five years, household financial
47
savings have moved out of equities and long-term products to bank deposits in
percentage terms. The point to note here is that component of cash (currency) has
marginally risen thats the real, incremental opportunity as more cash from chests
moves into bank deposits first before potentially going to other avenues.
The Q4FY07 is expected to be a period of margin pressure. This is because as the last
interest-rate cycle showed, deposit costs increase first, and followed by lending rates. Q4 is
also usually a period of tight liquidity, and the RBI could be increasing CRR or SLR
requirements to further tighten the liquidity. Also, banks will be cautious about the actual
implementation of the lending rate increases and may do it in a graduated fashion so as not
to invite outright resistance or overt attention from the government. HDFC Bank, PNB, SBI
and a few others have nevertheless already made a beginning by increasing their prime
lending rates after the cash reserve ratio hike by the RBI. However, the fight for deposits
has intensified and it is possible that in Q4FY07 banks could be increasing their exposure to
high-cost wholesale deposits, taken at higher than card rates.
Banks increased risk appetite good for loan yields:
The banks lending risk appetite has increased significantly over the last five years banks
veering more towards lending at increasing spreads rather than investing in risk-free bonds.
Accordingly, banks are willing to take higher risks, which is good for overall asset yields.
Investment spreads may increase in future:
As long-duration bonds at high interest rates have been coming up for maturity and
getting re-priced at lower interest rates, yields on investments have been continuously
falling over the last few years.
Non Performing Loans (NPLs): concerns overstated:
Loan growth-NPL
48
The asset price deflation (read real estate prices) may hurting banks asset quality has
been blown out of proportion.
Residential mortgages:
It is very unlikely in near term that there can be a large-scale increase in delinquencies on
loans taken for the first house (typically self-occupied); unless there is a household income
problem, it does not matter to the borrower whether the price of the house he is staying in is
rising or falling. Even then, with an average loan-to-value of 75%, a 25% fall is theoretically
not possible. LTV ratios had gone up to more risky levels at the peak of the mortgage boom.
Problems can arise more frequently for loans taken for the second house, typically for
investment/speculation. Banks have been reluctant to disclose the exact volume of second houses
financed. Most banks claim that it is in the range of 2-5% of incremental mortgage lending. There is
a possibility that some individuals have been hiding from banks the fact that they
already have one more loan, but this is becoming increasingly difficult with a credit bureau now
in full swing. Even if the assumption that 10% of the outstanding mortgages are for the second
house and all of that goes bad, it will mean 1% of the banking systems loans go bad.
Commercial real estate: According to figures disclosed by the RBI itself, real estate loans
constituted 2.0% of gross non-food credit of banks as of end-June 2006. Even if it has been
growing at high percentage rates is not material as the base was very low. In any case, by
increasing standard assets provisioning on these loans to 100bps from 25bps, risk weights from
100% to 150% and instructing banks not to lend unless the developer has all the permissions.
One stark example of this is the largest bank SBI itself. In the mid 1990s, SBIs portfolio
was distributed between large corporate, farm credit and trade, with little coming from
others. The Sep06 portfolio looks dramatically different.
SBIs loan portfolio now quite diversified

49
Source: Company data,
Cost of borrowing has risen, but so have incomes:
The apparent disconnect between interest rates rising now for two years and lending not losing
steam can be explained by i) rising incomes in case of individuals, thereby imparting increased
thrust to retail lending, and ii) improved corporate profitability through better pricing power.
While there are several studies illustrating the household income growth in India,
according to National Council for Applied Economic Research, an explosive growth is
underway in the percentage of households earning Rs91, 000-1,000,000 pa, the most
prominent individual borrowers for banks.
The corporate pricing power story is less known because of the media harping on high
competition and margin compression. While these issues cannot be summarily dismissed, it
is a fact that manufactured product inflation has been rising. Even the RBI has recently
commented on the increased ability of manufacturers to pass on cost increases. And with a
considerably de-leveraged corporate India compared with the early/mid 1990s, these levels
of increases in interest costs have been easily absorbed by companies.
Technology:
50
The trend in banking is changing from computerization of branches to laying a common

platform by having a core banking solution in all the branches. At the same time, Indian
banks are looking at internet banking which promises to grow into an alternate self-service
channel. As the mindset of the Indian customer undergoes a change, Indian banks need to
encompass the extension of all the services that are required and dictated by customers. In
future, banks will need to focus on value-differentiating services by keeping in-Houser their
competitive advantages while partnering with others who complement its services. The
emergence of peer-to-peer money transmission mechanisms (such as Western Union
Money Transfer) poses a challenge to current role of bankers and emphasizes the role of
robust payment systems like RTGS in maintaining and promoting financial stability.
Areas of Improvement:
Few challenges associated with technology adoption by banks are:
Indian banks still dont have the robust systems required for efficient functioning of
online banking. RBI has provided guidelines relating to security and other issues and
hopefully, online banking will see a surge in the usage from current 1% to at least 10%
in the next couple of years.
Banks need to explore newer channels such as SMS, WAP and 3G mobile telephony
applications to facilitate online access to customers.
Banks, in a drive to carry on with tremendous expansion in terms of customer base, needs to
have employees who are well informed about products and services and are comfortable with
technology which requires extensive training.
Potential Pitfalls:
Banks should not get overwhelmed by the concept of automation and online banking. The
banks need to realize that they need to maintain different delivery for different generations.
Banks still need to maintain brick-and-mortar locations that people feel comfortable with.
51
VALUATION
TOOLS
ICICI Bank:
52
Business
ICICI Bank was promoted in 1994 by ICICI Ltd., an Indian development financial institution.

SBI :
State Bank of India (SBI) is the largest bank in India. It is also, measured by the number of
branch offices and employees, the largest bank in the world. Established in 1806 as Bank
of Bengal, it remains the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent and also the
most successful one providing various domestic, international and NRI products and
services, through its vast network in India and overseas. With an asset base of $126 billion
and its reach, it is a regional banking behemoth. The bank was nationalized in 1955 with the
Reserve Bank of India having a 60% stake. It has laid emphasis on reducing the huge
manpower through Golden handshake schemes and computerizing its operations. X
State Bank of India has often acted as guarantor to the Indian Government, most notably
during Chandra Shekhar's tenure as Prime Minister of India. With more than 9400
branches and a further 4000+ associate bank branches, the SBI has extensive coverage.
State Bank of India has electronically networked most of its metropolitan, urban and semi-
urban branches under Core Banking System(CBS). The bank has the largest ATM network
in the country having more than 5600 in number [1]. The State Bank of India has had
steady growth over its history, though it was marred by the Harshad Mehta scam in
1992.Following its arch-rival ICICI Bank, the bank has started Core banking process by
which more than 4400+ branched have been completed so far. In recent years, the bank
has sought to expand its overseas operations by buying foreign banks. It is the only Indian
bank to feature in the top 100 world banks in the Fortune Global 500 rating and various
other rankings. According to the Forbes 2000 listing it tops all Indian companies.X

8% in 2005-06, FDI Confidence Index where India stands II in the world, Inflation which has
slow down due to falling crude prices, Gross Fiscal Deficit Interest Rate the UPA government
is confident to achieve the budgeted targets, Rising Oil prices & Exchange Rate Indian
government and oil companies are relax as oil prices have fallen beside Indian Rupee has
strengthen against USD, EURO and Yen and Capital Market the year is booming for market
with FII and mutual fund are pumping money increasing BSE Sensex returns over 50%.
In June 2006, Indian Banking System is spread through 66000 branches with an asset base of
about $270 billion. There are 87 Scheduled Commercial Banks operating in India including 8
Bank of SBI & Associates, 20 Nationalized Banks, 29 Private Banks and 30 Foreign Banks. In
terms of asset size, public sector banks have highest base compared to private and foreign
banks. SBI & Associated have asset base of Rs.691872 cr. Bank group-wise, new private sector
banks grew at the highest rate during 2005-06 (43.2 per cent), followed by foreign banks (31.2
per cent), public sector banks (13.6 per cent) and old private sector banks (12.2 per cent).
As a result, the relative significance of PSBs declined significantly with their share in total assets
of SCBs declining to 72.3 per cent at end-March 2006 from 75.3 per cent at end-March 2005,
while that of new private sector banks increasing to 15.1 per cent from 12.5 per cent.
Credit to the priority sector increased by 33.7 per cent in 2005-06 as against 40.3 per cent in the
previous year. The agriculture and housing sectors were the major beneficiaries, which together
accounted for more than two-third of incremental priority sector lending in 2005-06. Credit to
62
small scale industries also accelerated. Retail loans, which witnessed a growth of over
40.0 per cent in 2004-05 and again in 2005-06, have been the prime driver of the credit
growth in recent years. Retail loans as a percentage of gross advances increased from
22.0 per cent in March 2004 to 25.5 per cent in March 2006.
ICICI Bank is the leading market player with change in loans market share in FY02-06
of over 5% and change in deposits market share in FY 02-06 is nearby 2.5%. HDFC
Bank and UTI Bank are also in high growth phase. The laggards are SBI Bank, Bank of
Baroda Bank, Bank of India and Punjab National Bank.

factors identified in the report are:
Loan Demand in which the Indian Banking Industry has seen sustained strength in
credit growth (a 30% increase in Oct 2006, of which 58% growth has seen in service
sector and 100% in real estate sector).
Rising funding costs with soft lending rates Deposits has seen a growth of 22% of
which household savings contribute to 43%, credit spread increase to 3.3% and Yield
on government bonds reduced to 7.75% due to rising interest cost
Non Performing Loans (NPLs) - The Total bank loans stood at Rs 15,231.7bn, of
which housing loans are Rs. 1719.2bn. However, the Industrys share of total credit has
dropped to 40%
Technology - Indian banks still dont have the robust systems required for efficient functioning of
online banking and Banks need to explore newer channels such as SMS, WAP and 3G mobile
telephony applications to facilitate online access to customers.

CONCLUSION
The project involves valuation of major Indian Banks including ICICI Bank, SBI and HDFC
Bank. The methodology followed is Target Pricing, which including estimating growth rate by
regression on historical sales to forecast next year sales, earning and Profit and Loss
account. Then EPS is calculated which is multiplied to Historical P/E to forecast intrinsic
value of share. All shares are undervalued and expected to give positive risk adjusted
returns to investors. Since the intrinsic value is more than current market price for all the
companies, the share can be recommended to conservative investors.
