PROFILE
State Bank of India was constituted through an Act of Parliament on 8 May 1955 to carry on the
business of banking and other business in accordance with provisions of the State Bank India
Act and for the purpose of taking over the undertaking of the Imperial Bank with effect from 1st
July 1955. The origin of State Bank date back to 1806 when the Bank of Calcutta (later Bank of
Bengal) was established. This was the first of the Presidency banks to be set up in British India
to meet the needs of the mercantile community. The Bank of Bombay and Bank of Madras
followed this in 1840. These three banks pioneered the spread of banking in the country and in
1921 the three banks were amalgamated to form Imperial Bank of India. In 1955 the controlling
interests in the Imperial Bank were acquired by Reserve Bank of India and the bank became
State Bank of India under the State Bank of India Act. During the process of nationalization, the
private ownership was retained, though on a minority basis.
SBI group consisting of State Bank of India and its seven associates handles a significant part of
the day-to-day banking business of both Central and State governments and is the main banker
to most of the public sector corporations set up after independence. It plays a major role in
financing procurement of grains and other commodities like cotton, jute and tobacco. It also
handles special schemes such as gold bonds, gold replenishment schemes (against export of
jewellary), the national deposit scheme, etc. Its activities cover industrial finance, international
banking, agricultural finance, etc. SBI Capital Markets Ltd., the merchant banking and leasing
subsidiary of SBI, co-promoted SBI Home Finance Ltd. A new company SBI Funds
Management Ltd. was incorporated to take over the management of mutual fund activities from
SBICAP. SBI Factors and Commercial Services Pvt. Ltd. (SBI Factors) were established to
provide factoring services in the western region.
India’s largest public sector bank, State Bank of India (SBI) has been a brilliant performer this
year. Post September 11, while the BSE Sensex has remained flat, SBI’s stock has soared by
29%. Also, since the beginning of the current fiscal, the stock has gained 19%, as against a 14%
fall in the Sensex. The State Bank of India is the largest commercial bank in India in terms of
profits, assets, deposits, branches and employees. At the end of the financial year 2000-01
(April-March), the Bank had total assets of Rs.3,156.44 billion (US$67.71 billion), total deposits
of Rs.2,428.28 billion (US$52.09 billion), and made a net profit of Rs.16.05 billion (US$344
million) during the year. The Bank has a vast domestic network of 9,019 branches and staff
strength of 214,845. It commanded one-fifth of deposits and loans of all scheduled commercial
banks in the country.
The performance has not been driven by a general positive sentiment towards banking sector.
Rather, SBI’s ongoing restructuring initiatives and business aggressiveness have percolated into
its financial performance and consequently its stock price. The sleeping banking giant has
awakened and is likely to pose challenges for the private sector stalwarts. Starting from
realigning the organization structure through VRS, the bank has taken quick steps in
implementation of technology and diversifying its foray into retail finance and other related
businesses including insurance. The bank with 9,085 of its own branches and 4,500 branches of
its subsidiaries is catching up with its private sector peers to provide one-stop financial solutions.
With the slowdown in the corporate loan demand and deteriorating asset quality, the bank eyed
the retail finance market, which offered immense growth opportunities. It has made a vengeful
entry into housing finance market becoming the third largest player within a short time. Its
housing loan portfolio nearly doubled in FY02, forming 33% of total retail loans. SBI aims to
grow its housing loan disbursements by over 75% in the current fiscal. With bias towards softer
interest rates and tax benefits for investments in housing loans, the bank is likely to achieve its
target. In the overall personal finance segment, SBI has targeted to achieve 40% growth. With
growing retail assets, the contribution of retail banking to total loan assets is expected to go up
from 15% in FY02 to 20% in the next three years. Since default rate in retail finance is relatively
low, the bank’s asset quality is likely to improve. SBI has targeted to bring down its net NPAs to
advances ratio to 5% in the second half of 2002-03 from 5.6% in FY02.
From the Chairman's Desk
Dear Shareholders,
I am pleased to place before you the Report of the Board of Directors of your Bank for the year
2001-02. You will be happy to see your Bank's excellent performance, details of which are
presented in the Report.
The year 2001-02 witnessed mixed trends with GDP growth largely driven by good agricultural
performance. Low inflation, robust growth in foreign exchange reserves and large stocks of food
grains added to the strength of the economy.
A decade of economic reforms has strengthened the fundamentals of the Indian economy and
the second generation reforms will serve to put the country on to a higher growth trajectory.
There is no doubt that banking sector reforms have increased the profitability, productivity and
efficiency of banks, but in the days ahead banks will have to prepare themselves to face new
challenges including growing competition in the face of falling spreads and squeeze on
profitability. In order to leverage technology for growth, banks need to develop a greater
understanding of the impact of technology and a sense of urgency for implementing the changes
along with putting in place new strategies to manage risks in the changing environment.
Ultimately, there is need for greater customer orientation and future business models of banks
will not be based on interest margins but rather on value added services to the customer. Other
issues that compel attention in the changing environment are corporate governance and
adoption of international standards and best practices.
You will be happy to see that your Bank is addressing these issues and has taken path-breaking
initiatives in introducing IT driven products and services. Your Bank is fast growing into a
technology-driven bank, with a range of products for customers, multiple delivery channels for
business growth and a strategy to reduce costs, improve profitability and stay ahead of the
competition. A state-of-the-art core banking solution has been identified which provides
anywhere banking for our customers. The task of implementing the solutions has been entrusted
to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Implementation has already commenced and we expect to
see tangible results in a year's time. Networking project will lead the way with 20 cities
connected by October 2002 and 49 cities by December 2002.
Internet banking services have been further expanded to reach out to 154 branches and an
exclusive Internet banking product for corporates was launched in March 2002. Other
technology solutions identified to leapfrog into IT-enabled operations relate to Asset Liability
Management and Treasury Management. More than 3000 branches (80.28% of the business)
are driven by computerized systems. One of the landmark achievements was the deployment of
1070 ATMs across the country catering to more than 1.8 million ATM cardholders. Of these
ATMs, 568 were networked across 102 centers. Your Bank vigorously marched ahead taking
giant strides in traditional IT initiatives like full branch computerization, remote login for corporate
customers, tele-banking, electronic payment system, expanding web presence, SWIFT based
services and cheque processing systems. Your Bank launched its country-wide Video
Conferencing network spanning 24 locations- the largest such network in the country.
In line with customer expectations, your Bank launched several new products during the year.
Housing emerged as a major thrust area and loans were offered at very competitive rates. A
flexible tailor-made housing loan scheme was launched wherein the customer could fix his
installments for various years of repayment aligning these with his repayment capacity keeping
in view other financial obligations. The Bank also introduced a short-term housing loan scheme
offering the benefit of lower rate of interest to customers having the capacity to repay their loans
in a shorter period up to a maximum of five years. New products proposed to be offered during
the current year include up gradation of ATM cards to Debit cards, upgraded version of tele-
banking, smart cards, co-branded credit cards, railway reservation through ATM and Internet,
etc.
Maintaining the thrust on development banking, your Bank's advances to the priority sector as a
proportion of net bank credit stood at 41.53% at the end of March 2002 against the benchmark
of 40%. During the year, the Bank launched new schemes to increase the flow of credit to the
agricultural sector viz., Kisan Gold Card, Land Purchase Scheme for small and marginal farmers
and scheme for financing purchase of Combine Harvesters. So far your Bank has issued 14.04
lakh Kisan Credit Cards covering aggregate credit limits of Rs 2873 crore and has a target of
issuing more than 8.20 lakh Kisan Credit Cards and 1.15 lakh Kisan Gold Cards during 2002-03.
Your Bank has also launched three new products for the benefit of SSI units viz., SME Credit
Plus, General Purpose Term Loan and Small Business Credit Card. Your Bank has stepped up
its activities under Project Uptech to make SMEs more quality and cost competitive. So far 22
clusters covering various industry groups have been taken up under Project Uptech. Under its
initiatives for Micro Credit, your Bank has so far linked itself with 127,820 Self Help Groups
(SHGs) covering more than 23 lakh members and has plans to link itself with 27,560 new SHGs
during the year.
Your Bank has a well documented NPA Management Policy, which emphasizes, inter alia, early
identification of problem loans, effective response to early warning signals and vigorous
approach to recovery including one time settlement (OTS). The Bank widely publicized various
OTS schemes formulated by RBI. Due to efforts at the grass roots in motivating the staff and the
borrowers, the schemes yielded good results. The gross and net NPA levels of your Bank have
come down from 12.93% and 6.03% respectively in March 2001 to 11.95% and 5.63%
respectively in March 2002.
In a deregulated environment risk management holds the key to success; opportunities do not
come alone but bring in their wake risks in new forms and of varying magnitudes. Banks need to
usher in a risk management culture and develop review and control systems encompassing
credit, market and other forms of risk. This calls for tremendous amount of reskilling of staff,
developing a cadre of specialists and introduction of technology driven management information
systems. Our Business Development and HR systems will have to rise to meet the various
challenges and exploit opportunities thrown up by the paradigm shift in banking. Efforts are
already on in that direction.
With all these initiatives, your Bank is well poised to move ahead rapidly in the current year and
achieve the financial goals and strategies we have set for ourselves.
Yours sincerely
(Janki Ballabh)

1997-98
The cash and bank balances amounted to Rs. 32 645.82 crores. The money at call was low at
821 crores. The bank was maintaining a balance of 12906.42 crores with RBI. The investments
in India were worth 54982.24 crores. However there was no investment in mutual funds. The
investments outside India stood at 2221.46 crores. The figures were low, as the impact of
globalization was not yet felt. The advances and loans amounted to 74237 crores which was
41.32% of the total assets. Of this short-term loans amounted to 69.35% of the total loans. The
ratio of loans to priority and public sector stood at 1.6. The percentage of secured loans was
96.83%. Inter-office adjustments amounted to 2924 crores. This was attributed to the fact that
reconciliation of inter-office accounts continues for some time after the accounts are closed.
Gross Assets were valued at 2347 crores. The depreciation amount was 841.3 crores and the
method used was written down value method prescribed under the Income Tax Act.
Depreciation of leased assets was provided for on capital recovery method. Leased Assets
valued at 289.33 crores.
1998-99
Cash and Bank Balance increased to 53212.6 (increase of 61% over the previous year) while
Cash in Hand reduced to 497.97 crores. Money at call increased drastically this year. Due to this
fact the current account assets surged. The interest expenses on deposits (excluding RIBs) in
India during 1998-99 recorded an increase of 17.5% as compared to the previous year, primarily
due to the increase in average level of deposits by 16.9% (excluding RIB deposits) during the
year. While the maximum interest rate on domestic deposits came down from 12% at the
beginning of the fiscal to 10.5% at the end, the average cost of deposits registered a marginal
increase from 8.01% in 1997-98 to 8.05% in 1998-99. Introduction in May 1998 of term deposits
for a minimum period of 15 days (earlier, the minimum period for which a term deposit could be
taken was 30 days) as well as the differential (higher) rates for single deposits of Rs.15 lakh and
above, contributed to the additional cost under this head. Investments increased by 40%.
Investment in government securities contributed a lot. Investments in approved securities
decreased from the previous year. Advances and loans increased marginally. Stocks in trade
decreased to 69.67. Inter-office adjustments had been completed by the end of the accounting
year. Hence the receivables decreased. There was a drastic increase in amount of leased
assets.
1999-00
Cash and Bank Balance decreased but the cash in hand increased marginally. Money at call
followed the previous trend and decreased. Money at call with RBI decreased by around 6000
crores. Investments increased continuously. This year the bank invested in mutual funds, which
thereby increased investments. Advances and loans continued to increase. But the ratio of
advances to priority sector versus the public sector changed radically. It increased from 1.6 to 3
in two years. The receivables increases this year because of inter office adjustments of 8760
crores.
2000-01
On 30 March 2001, IRDA had granted license to the joint venture for carrying out the life
insurance business in the country. In June 2001, life insurance company has launched its first
product-Sanjeevan. It is a single-premium money-back product providing life cover up to a
maximum of 75 years of age. The company is also looking at launching pension products in few
days. During the year, the Bank, pursuant to the Voluntary Retirement Scheme for eligible
employees made a payment in respect of encashment of leave salary amounting to Rs.203.63
crore. In terms of the accounting policy consistently followed by the Bank, the entire amount has
been charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the current year (accounting on payment basis)
including an amount of Rs.123.19 crore being encashment of leave salary related to prior
periods, as determined by an actuarial valuation. The amount of unsecured surged to 23232.39
crores. Advances to public sector which had gone down last year increased again. Receivables
again went down due to less money kept for inter office adjustments. Intangible assets showed
at 2271.24 crore
2001-02
The Bank implemented a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) for eligible employees during FY
2000-01. Expenditure thereof aggregated to Rs. 2271.24 crore, of which Rs. 853.19 crore was
charged to the Profit and Loss Account of FY 2000-01. Of the balance, an amount of Rs. 354.51
crore has been charged to the Profit and Loss Account of FY 2001-02. The remaining amount of
Rs. 1083.54 crore is being treated as deferred revenue expenditure included under Schedule 11
"Other Assets", to be amortized equally over a further period of 3 years in accordance with RBI
guidelines. All the statistics increased as per the continuing trends.

Equity Capital remained constant at 526.3 crore. No preference capital was issued. Neither any
bonus was issued to shareholders. Reserves and surplus increased every year from 9081 to
1498 crores. Revenue reserves increased till 2000 and then began to decrease as the bank
began to diversify and invest more money in restructuring. On the monetary front, liquidity
conditions remained easy. During 2001-02, the year-on-year growth in money supply (M3) at
14.0% was in line with the growth projected by RBI, as against 16.8% in 2000-01, when growth
was boosted by India Millennium Deposit inflows. For the same reason, growth in aggregate
deposits of all scheduled commercial banks at 14.3% was lower than 18.4% during 2000-01.
Reflecting the deceleration in industrial production, growth in non-food credit was lower at 12.8%
during 2001-02 than the growth of 14.9% in the previous year. During the same period, the
increase in total flow of funds from banks including banks' investments in bonds, debentures,
shares, CPs, at 11.8% was also lower than the increase of 15.7% during 2000-01. Deposits
doubled their amounts in the last 5 years. Borrowings increased till 2001 and then decreased in
2002. Issue of debentures and bonds also decreased in 2002. This can be attributed to the fact
that the borrowings from FII decreased considerably due to Sept. 11 crisis. Also these figures
decreased in 2000 due to economic crisis of 2000. Inter-office adjustments were added in
liabilities in 1999 and 2002.

The basic purpose of cash flow statements is to provide information about cash receipts and
cash payments. The basic classifications of cash flow are
- Operating (primary business activities, bank must generate a positive net cash flow if it to
survive. It is a key measure of liquidity)
- Investing (cash flows from purchases and disposal of plant assets, Not necessarily positive.
Growing businesses may have negative investing cash flow)
- Financing (cash flow of the bank with its owners and creditors. For e.g. Issuance of stock,
Growing businesses may have negative financing cash flow)
Cash flow from operations has decreased with the exception of 1998-99. This implies that the
liquidity has been decreasing. The investing cash flow increased radically from 8676 to 17319
crores and then increased marginally to 20725 crores. However it fell sharply from 1999-00 to
2000-01 because the bank did not invest. Financing cash flow has been negative in 1997-99 as
the loan repayments have been exceeding loan proceeds. In 1999-01 the loan proceeds
increased to a large amount and thereby exceeding the repayments. In 2002 again the proceeds
reduced to zero.

Liberalization and deregulation have heightened competition among banks, which will only
intensify with financial liberalization under the WTO regime, and banks in India will have to
benchmark themselves against world class banks. In this context, the way to boost profitability
and stay ahead is by developing sophisticated and customized products, increasing volumes,
monitoring risks and reaching out to customers in diversified and distant markets by leveraging
technology. In line with this, the Bank is also making all out efforts to adopt state-of-the-art
technology with far reaching consequences for efficiency and profitability.
2002
• The Operating Profit of the Bank for 2001-02 stood at Rs.6,044.83 crore as compared to
Rs.3,966.78 crore. in 2000-01, recording a growth of 52.39%. The Bank has posted a Net
Profit of Rs.2,431.62 crore for 2001- 02 as compared to Rs.1,604.25 crore in 2000-01,
registering a growth of 51.57%.
• It will be recalled that the Net Profit of 2000-01 was depressed by the IMD issue expenses
and VRS related expenses but was favorably impacted by write back of excess provision for
investment depreciation (net of tax).
• Similarly, in 2001-02, the Net Profit has been depressed by provision for investment
depreciation (including amortization of premium on `Held to Maturity' category), as well as by
pro-rata write off of deferred revenue expenditure relating to VRS.
• On a fully comparable basis, the adjusted Net Profit of 2001-02 (Rs.2,841.76 crore) has
recorded a growth of 31.53% over the adjusted Net Profit of 2000-01 (Rs.2,160.48 crore).
• The growth in profit in 2001-02 has been achieved through increases, both in Net Interest
Income and Fee Income. Profit on sale of investments in 2001-02 was Rs.351.64 crore as
against Rs.341.85 crore in 2000-01, and thus the increase under this head contributed to the
growth in profit of 2001-02 to the extent of only Rs. 9.79 crore.
2001
• The Operating Profit of the Bank for 2000-01 before reckoning the one-time issue expenses
of India Millennium Deposits and the VRS related expenses charged off during the year,
stood at Rs.5263.16 cr. as compared to Rs.4202.50 cr. in 1999-2000, recording an increase
of 25.24%.
• After accounting for the above expenditure, the Operating Profit for 2000-01 was Rs.3966.78
cr.
• The Published Net Profit of the Bank for 2000-01 is Rs.1604.25 cr. as compared to
Rs.2051.55 cr in 1999-2000. The reduction was due to the IMD issue expenses and VRS
related expenses charged off during 2000-01, as afore said, which depressed the profit by
Rs.640.98 cr. (net of tax).
• Further, write back of excess provision for investment depreciation (net of tax) contributed
onlyto the extent of Rs.84.75 cr to the Net Profit of 2000-01, as against Rs.322.40 cr in 1999-
00.
• The Net Profit, after adjusting for the above factors as applicable in both the years, would be
Rs.2160.48 cr in 2000-01as against Rs.1729.15 cr in 1999-00, i.e., a growth of 24.94%.
2000
• The Bank posted a Net Profit of Rs.2,051.55 crore for the year 1999-2000 as against
Rs.1,027.80 crore in 1998-99. The write-back of excess provision for investment
depreciation (net of tax) contributed to the extent of Rs.322.40 crore to the growth in the Net
Profit of 1999-2000, as against Rs.8.51 crore in 1998-99.
• It may also be recalled that the Net Profit of 1998-99 was affected to the extent of
Rs.207.47 crore (net of tax) by the charging off of the entire RIB issue expenses during that
year. Even after adjusting for both the above items of non-recurring nature, the Net Profit for
the year 1999-2000 from pure operations recorded a strong growth of 40.95% over 1998-
99.
• The Operating Profit also recorded an increase of 21.77% from Rs.3,451.16 crore to
Rs.4,202.50 crore.
• Income tax provision at Rs.978.5 crore was higher than the provision of Rs.383 crore made
in 1998-99 on account of higher operating profit for the year, tax on the amount of excess
investment depreciation written back and levy of 10% surcharge on income tax. Arrears of
salary for the year 1999-2000 consequent upon the salary revision of supervising staff had
already been charged to the operating profit (Rs.153 crore). For salary revision arrears of
award staff, provision was made in the accounts of 1999-2000 to the extent of Rs.121 crore.
• The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) at the Corporate Centre is engaged in
evolving optimal asset/liability structure for the Bank on an on-going basis with a view to
containing mis-matches, optimising profits and ensuring the requirement of capital
adequacy. The mechanisms provide for detailed policy formulation within the broad
parameters laid down by the Bank and reviewing policy implementation as also facilitating
decision making in certain critical areas. The ALCO lays down parameters for efficient
management of the risks and oversees the process of product development and pricing.
• In January 2000, a new product, ‘Personal Loan against Mortgage of Immovable Property’,
an omnibus scheme enabling individuals to take loans against their immovable assets to
meet any financial requirement, was launched. It has become popular owing to its flexibility
in terms of eligibility, purpose and mode of financing (term loan or overdraft). Another new
product launched during the year was ‘Corporate Liquid Term Deposit Scheme’, which
permits unitized break-up and enables corporates and business organizations to deploy
their short-term funds profitably. With the launch of this scheme, the Bank has made
unitized term deposits available for every segment of customers.
• The Bank’s foreign offices play an important role in handling the country’s foreign trade
related business and providing foreign currency resources to the Indian corporates and
business houses. During the year, the Bank arranged foreign currency loans of US$ 600
million for 14 corporates. To mitigate forex and interest rate risks of the Indian corporates,
the Bank has structured a product ‘Long Term Rupee-Foreign Currency Swap’. During
1999-2000, such swaps worth US$ 65 million were put through.
• During the year, foreign offices of the Bank achieved substantial success in improving core
assets, viz., loans and investments to corporates domiciled at foreign centres, thereby
reducing dependence on India related assets. The foreign branches contributed Rs.185
crore to the net profit of the Bank.
• Non-resident Indians are important customers of the Bank. During the year, the Bank
mobilized NRI deposits of Rs.2,726 crore, recording a growth of 77% over the previous
year.

• In a major initiative this year, the Bank collected USD 5,497 million from the non-residents
through the India Millenium Deposits (IMD) Programme (a five year deposit scheme),
launched in October 2000. The IMD Programme was aimed at raising long-term resources
for augmenting the country's forex reserves and for meeting the financial needs of
infrastructure projects.
• The domestic deposits of the Bank (excluding RIBs / IMDs) grew by Rs.19,300 crore (13.1%)
during the year. Reflecting the thrust on Personal segment, these deposits grew by Rs.
15,901 crore (17.28%) and formed 57.95% of the total deposits of the Bank as against
56.5% at the end of March 2000.
2000:
• The Bank’s aggregate liabilities (excluding capital and reserves) rose by 17.6% from
Rs.2,12,107 crore as on the 31st March 1999 to Rs.2,49,358 crore as on the 31st March
2000.
• The increase in liabilities was mainly contributed by increase in deposits. Global deposits,
including RIB deposits, stood at Rs.1,96,821 crore as on the 31st March 2000, representing
an increase of 16.4% over the level as on the 31st March 1999. Global deposits, excluding
RIB deposits, grew by 18.4% from Rs.1,51,007 crore to Rs.1,78,802 crore.
• In January 2000, a new product, ‘Personal Loan against Mortgage of Immovable Property’,
an omnibus scheme enabling individuals to take loans against their immovable assets to
meet any financial requirement, was launched. It has become popular owing to its flexibility
in terms of eligibility, purpose and mode of financing (term loan or overdraft).
• Another new product launched during the year was ‘Corporate Liquid Term Deposit
Scheme’, which permits unitized break-up and enables corporates and business
organizations to deploy their short-term funds profitably. With the launch of this scheme, the
Bank has made unitized term deposits available for every segment of customers. With the
liberalization of the gold import policy, the Bank started sales of imported Non-resident
Indians are important customers of the Bank.

77% over the previous year.
1999:
• The interest expenses on deposits (excluding RIBs) in India during 1998-99 recorded an
increase of 17.5% as compared to the previous year, primarily due to the increase in
average level of deposits by 16.9% (excluding RIB deposits) during the year.
• While the maximum interest rate on domestic deposits came down from 12% at the
beginning of the fiscal to 10.5% at the end, the average cost of deposits registered a
marginal increase from 8.01% in 1997-98 to 8.05% in 1998-99.
• Introduction in May 1998 of term deposits for a minimum period of 15 days (earlier, the
minimum period for which a term deposit could be taken was 30 days) as well as the
differential (higher) rates for single deposits of Rs.15 lakh and above, contributed to the
additional cost under this head.

• The growth in non-interest income (other income) was 16.5% in 1998-99 as compared to
6.7% recorded in 1997-98. The non-interest income was Rs.3,284.69 crores compared to
Rs. 2,820.17 crores in 1997-98. This growth was contributed mainly by commission on
government business, exchange on remittances and other miscellaneous income. Leasing
income, which forms part of non-interest income, recorded a substantial increase of
Rs.73.60 crores over last year.
• The gross interest income of the global operations of the Bank grew from Rs.15,878.89
crores in 1997-98 to Rs.19,107.54 crores in 1998-99, which was due to increases in the
average level of advances as well as the average level of resources deployed in treasury
operations, over the average levels of 1997-98. Lower levels of Prime Lending Rate (PLR)
during the year were reflected in a lower average yield on advances in India at 11.3% in
1998-99 compared to 11.9% in 1997-98. State Bank Advance Rate (the Prime Lending Rate
of the Bank), which was 14% at the beginning of the fiscal, stood at 12% at the end; for the
major part of the year, it was 13%. While this factor resulted in the reduced yield on
advances, the volume growth of Rs.9,072 crores in the average level of domestic advances
during the year as compared to the average level of 1997-98, resulted in a higher growth in
interest income on domestic advances at 9.2% compared to a decline of 4.6% recorded in
1997-98. Income from resources operations in India registered a higher growth of 23.3%
compared to 14.3% in 1997-98. This growth was driven by higher volume of resources
deployed which went up by Rs.14,929 crores as compared to 1997-98, as well as by
increase in the yield on resources operations, which went up from 9.7% in 1997-98 to 9.9%
in 1998-99.
• The Net Interest Income of the Bank registered a growth of 8.33%, from Rs.8,382.58 crore in
2000-01 to Rs.9,081.24 crore in 2001-02. This was driven by volume growth. The Net
Interest Margin went down from 3.23% in 2000-01 to 2.91 % in 2001-02.
• The gross interest income from the global operations grew from Rs.26,138.60 crore in 2000-
01 to Rs.29,810.09 crore in 2001-02. The substantial growth was contributed by increase in
the interest on resources deployed in treasury operations.
• Interest income on advances showed a marginal decline, owing to decline in the interest on
advances at our Foreign Offices, primarily due to declining interest rates abroad. The interest
income on advances in India, however, registered an increase from Rs.10,113.68 crore in
2000-01 to Rs.10,410.51 crore in 2001-02.
• Prime Lending Rate was stable throughout the year. State Bank Advance Rate (the Prime
Lending Rate of the Bank), which was reduced from 12.00% to 11.50% in February 2001,
remained at that level during the entire 2001-02. The Medium Term Lending Rate (SBMTLR)
remained at the level of 12.00% during the entire 2001-02. Lower rates (Short Term PLR) for
shorter maturity loans, which were introduced in March 2001, were in operation throughout
2001-02. Average yield on advances in India, as a result, came down from 10.17% in 2000-
01 to 9.66% in 2001-02. However, volume increase of Rs.8288 crore (i.e., by 8.33%) in the
average level of advances in India contributed to the increase in interest income from
advances.
• Non-interest income grew by 7.51%, from Rs.3,883.04 crore in 2000-01 to Rs.4,174.48 crore
in 2001-02. The growth was contributed mainly by growth in forex income and
commission/exchange income.
• During the year, the Bank earned an income of Rs.102.67 crore (Rs.77.05 crore in the
previous year), by way of dividends from Associate Banks/Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures in
India and abroad.
• There was a decline of 14.29% in the staff cost from Rs.6,011.65 crore in 2000-01 to
Rs.5,152.78 crore in 2001-02. The staff cost of 2000-01 and 2001-02 included VRS
expenses amounting to Rs.853.19 crore and Rs.354.51 crore, respectively. After factoring
out the VRS related expenses in both the years, the staff cost of 2001-02 has still recorded a
decline of 6.98% from that of 2000-01.
• Other Operating Expenses have also registered a decline of 10.01%. The one-time item of
IMD issue expenses was charged off in 2000-01. After factoring out this item, the Other
Operating Expenses of 2001-02 have registered an increase of 11.61% compared to 2000-
01.
• Operating Expenses, comprising both staff cost and other operating expenses, have
registered a decline of 13.11%. After adjusting for VRS related expenses in both the years
and for IMD issue expenses in 2000-01, the Operating Expenses of 2001-02 have recorded
a decline of 2.09% compared to 2000-01.
What is credit-deposit ratio?
It is the proportion of loan-assets created by banks from the deposits received. The higher the
ratio, the higher the loan-assets created from deposits.
How?
Consider Bank X which has deposits worth Rs. 100 crores and a credit-deposit ratio of 60 per
cent. That means Bank X has used deposits worth Rs. 60 crores to create loan-assets. Only Rs.
40 crores is available for other investments.
Now, the Indian government is the largest borrower in the domestic credit market. The
government borrows by issuing securities (G-secs) through auctions held by the RBI. Banks,
thus, lend to the government by investing in these G-secs. And Bank X has only Rs. 40 crores to
invest in G-secs. If more banks like X have lesser money to invest in G-secs, what will the
government do? After all, it needs to raise money to meet its expenditure. The government has
two options. One, it can raise yields to make investment by banks in G-secs attractive. Or two,
force the RBI to take the securities into its books. Both the options have a tendency to push up
interest rates in the economy.
1998-1999 Decrease
• The net interest margin as a percentage of the Average Total Assets (ATA) for the bank
declined from 3.02% in 1998-99 to 2.86% in 1999-00.
• Drop in yield on advances and investments and a reduction in the non interest income/ ATA
during the year
1999-2000 Increase
• The Operating Profits as a percentage of ATA increased marginally from 1.72% in 1998-99
to 1.74% in 1999-00. This was due to a decrease in the operating expenses /ATA from
2.93% in 1998-99 to 2.6 % in 1999-2000.
• PAT as a percentage to ATA increased from 0.51% to 0.85% during the same period. This
was also due to lower provisioning on NPAs and write back of provision on depreciation of
investments.
• The bank has also taken fresh exposures in infrastructure related projects mainly in the
power, ports, roads and oil and gas sectors during 1999-2000.
• Deposits of SBI grew from Rs. 169042 crore in 1998-99 to Rs. 196821 crore in 1999-00
registering a growth of 16.50%.
• SBI also mobilised around U.S.$ 5.5 billion (approximately Rs. 25000 crore) by way of India
Millenium Deposits (IMD) in October/November 2000.
• reduced its Net NPA level from 7.18% as on 31st March 1999 to 6.41% as on 31st March
2000. This was on account of substantial provisions and write-offs that the bank has made
over the years.
• The write back of excess provision for investment depreciation (net of tax) contributed to the
extent of Rs.322.40 cr to the growth in the Net Profit of 1999-2000, as against Rs.8.51 cr in
1998-99.
2000-01
Net Profit of 2000-01 was depressed by the IMD issue expenses and VRS related expenses but
was favourably impacted by write back of excess provision for investment depreciation (net of
tax).
2001-02
The growth in profit in 2001-02 has been achieved through increases, both in Net Interest
Income and Fee Income. Profit on sale of investments in 2001-02 was Rs.351.64 crore as
against Rs.341.85 crore in 2000-01, and thus the increase under this head contributed to the
growth in profit of 2001-02 to the extent of only Rs. 9.79 crore.
Similarly, in 2001-02, the Net Profit has been depressed by provision for investment depreciation
(including amortization of premium on `Held to Maturity' category), as well as by pro-rata write
off of deferred revenue expenditure relating to VRS. Further, the appreciation in the Held for
Trading category of investments has not been recognized due to a revision in RBI guidelines in
2001-02. On a fully comparable basis, the adjusted Net Profit of 2001-02 (Rs.2,841.76 crore)
has recorded a growth of 31.53% over the adjusted Net Profit of 2000-01 (Rs.2,160.48 crore).
The gross interest income from the global operations grew from Rs.26,138.60 crore in 2000-01
to Rs.29,810.09 crore in 2001-02. The substantial growth was contributed by increase in the
interest on resources deployed in treasury operations.
Interest expenses on deposits (excluding Resurgent India Bonds/ India Millennium Deposits) in
India during 2001-02 recorded an increase of 7.55% compared to the previous year, whereas
the average level of deposits grew by 15.87%. This resulted in a reduction in the cost of deposits
from 7.62% in 2000-01 to 7.07% in 2001-02.
The expenditure/income on Repo transactions during 2001-02 has been treated as interest
expenditure/ interest income, instead of being treated as loss/profit on sale of investments, as
was hitherto being done. Consequently, the corresponding figures of the previous year have
also been regrouped.
Overall a decline in operating cash flows has resulted from the economic slag that existed since
the IT boom subsided. September 11 Attacks added water the already extinguishing fire.
Lowering of interest rate by RBI also acted as an impediment the coming deposits and
advances.
Also there was low industry growth due to decline the operating expenses
Operating Expenses, comprising both staff cost and other operating expenses, have registered
a decline of 13.11%. After adjusting for VRS related expenses in both the years and for IMD
issue expenses in 2000-01, the Operating Expenses of 2001-02 have recorded a decline of
2.09% compared to 2000-01. Other Operating Expenses have also registered a decline of
10.01%. The one-time item of IMD issue expenses was charged off in 2000-01.
There was a decline of 14.29% in the staff cost from Rs.6,011.65 crore in 2000-01 to
Rs.5,152.78 crore in 2001-02. The staff cost of 2000-01 and 2001-02 included VRS expenses
amounting to Rs.853.19 crore and Rs.354.51 crore, respectively.
NON PERFORMING ASSETS ANALYSIS
2000
• Provision towards NPAs (including Rs.22.72 crore for the Bank’s foreign offices) was lower
at Rs.1,286.95 crore in 1999-2000 compared to Rs.1,422.67 crore in 1998-99, mainly due to
lower accretion of NPAs.
• An additional provision of Rs.32.59 crore (including Rs.3.19 crore at the foreign offices) on
the standard assets in the global loan portfolio was made in terms of the RBI guidelines,
taking the total provision on standard assets including such provision held at the foreign
offices to Rs.229.32 crore.
• The seven Associate Banks recorded remarkable performance during 1999-2000, as
compared to the previous year. The net profit of these banks together increased by 43%.
Deposits and advances of these banks grew by over 18% and investments by over 22%.
Almost all the Associate Banks were able to reduce their levels of NPAs.
• Credit Policy: The highlights of the policy initiatives pertaining to the Bank’s loans to the
Commercial and Institutional, Small Scale Industries and Agriculture segments in 1999-2000
are presented below:
o The scheme for financing IT-related activities revised.
o Guidelines formulated for one-time review of chronic NPAs and their settlement
through the process of compromise.
o A scheme for financing VRS in Central PSUs designed.
• NPA Management: The Bank’s NPA management policy lays stress, inter alia, on early
identification of problem loans, effective response to early warning signals, adherence to the
time norms for corrective action and recovery including one-time settlements. Mechanism for
follow-up of legal cases, specially those filed with Debt Recovery Tribunals, has been
streamlined. In addition to six specialized Rehabilitation and Recovery Branches at Mumbai,
New Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad, two more such branches were
opened at Chandigarh and Bangalore during the year. Compromise settlements were
encouraged, especially through Settlement Advisory Committees and Lok Adalats.
