BANKING SCENARIO

The Indian Banking industry, which is governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories, nonscheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks comprise commercial banks and the co-operative banks. In terms of ownership, commercial banks can be further grouped into nationalized banks, the State Bank of India and its group banks, regional rural banks and private sector banks (the old/ new domestic and foreign). These banks have over 67,000 branches spread across the country. The first phase of financial reforms resulted in the nationalization of 14 major banks in 1969 and resulted in a shift from Class banking to Mass banking. This in turn resulted in a significant growth in the geographical coverage of banks. Every bank had to earmark a minimum percentage of their loan portfolio to sectors identified as priority sectors. The manufacturing sector also grew during the 1970s in protected environs and the banking sector was a critical source. The next wave of reforms saw the nationalization of 6 more commercial banks in 1980. Since then the number of scheduled commercial banks increased four-fold and the number of bank branches increased eight-fold. After the second phase of financial sector reforms and liberalization of the sector in the early nineties, the Public Sector Banks (PSB) s found it extremely difficult to compete with the new private sector banks and the

foreign banks. The new private sector banks first made their appearance after the guidelines permitting them were issued in January 1993. Eight new private sector banks are presently in operation. These banks due to their late
1

start have access to state-of-the-art technology, which in turn helps them to save on manpower costs and provide better services. During the year 2000, the State Bank Of India (SBI) and its 7 associates accounted for a 25 percent share in deposits and 28.1 percent share in credit. The 20 nationalized banks accounted for 53.2 percent of the deposits and 47.5 percent of credit during the same period. The share of foreign banks (numbering 42), regional rural banks and other scheduled commercial banks accounted for 5.7 percent, 3.9 percent and 12.2 percent respectively in deposits and 8.41 percent, 3.14 percent and 12.85 percent respectively in credit during the year 2000.

Current Scenario
The industry is currently in a transition phase. On the one hand, the PSBs, which are the mainstay of the Indian Banking system are in the process of shedding their flab in terms of excessive manpower, excessive non Performing Assets (Npas) and excessive governmental equity, while on the other hand the private sector banks are consolidating themselves through mergers and acquisitions. PSBs, which currently account for more than 78 percent of total banking

industry assets are saddled with NPAs (a mind-boggling Rs 830 billion in 2000), falling revenues from traditional sources, lack of modern technology and a massive workforce while the new private sector banks are forging ahead and rewriting the traditional banking business model by way of their sheer innovation and service. The PSBs are of course currently working out
2

challenging strategies even as 20 percent of their massive employee strength has dwindled in the wake of the successful Voluntary Retirement Schemes (VRS) schemes. The private players however cannot match the PSBs great reach, great size and access to low cost deposits. Therefore one of the means for them to combat the PSBs has been through the merger and acquisition (M& A) route. Over the last two years, the industry has witnessed several such instances. For instance, Hdfc Banks merger with Times Bank

Icici Banks acquisition of ITC Classic, Anagram Finance and


Bank of Madura. Centurion Bank, Indusind Bank, Bank of Punjab, Vysya Bank are said to be on the lookout. The UTI bank- Global Trust Bank merger however opened a pandoras box and brought about the realization that all was not well in the functioning of many of the private sector banks. Private sector Banks have pioneered internet banking, phone banking, anywhere banking, mobile banking, debit cards, Automatic Teller Machines

(ATMs) and combined various other services and integrated them into the mainstream banking arena, while the PSBs are still grappling with disgruntled employees in the aftermath of successful VRS schemes. In a span of just four years, ICICI Bank has emerged as a consumer banking behemoth. With a retail book of over Rs 56,000 crore (Rs 560 billion) and a market share that is the envy of competition -- it has a share of over 30 per cent -- ICICI Bank today has reached a commanding position.
3

The bank boasts of the widest integrated technology platform in the country and only a fourth of its business takes place at its branches. Its legacy of non-performing assets (NPAs) -- for which it has been rated below its peers -- is now almost history with net NPLs (nonperforming loans) down to 2 per cent. Armed with a much stronger balance sheet, ICICI Bank is aggressively foraying into overseas markets and also has an eye on rural India. This year consumer credit will grow by about Rs 40,000 crore (Rs 400 billion) from Rs 145,000 crore (Rs 1,450 billion) to Rs 185,000 crore (Rs 1,850 billion). Last year, despite competition from small savings, incremental deposits grew at 15 per cent and this year, too, the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) is pegging deposit growth at 15 per cent. That's not too different from the historic growth rate of 17 per cent over 30 years. I acknowledge that small savings pose competition; they have a lot of arbitrage.

But, interestingly, mutual funds were not competitors. MFs, I find, are competitors when interest rates decline; they don't have ability to compete when rates rise. Also insurance companies, which saw money because of the tax incentives, could be under pressure with the incentives going. Today, ICICI Bank, India has the largest market share and value among all banks in retail or consumer financing. ICICI Bank is the largest issuer of credit cards in India. It was the first bank to offer a wide network of ATM's
4

and had the largest network of ATM's till 2005,before SBI caught up with it. ICICI bank now is widely seen as a sophisticated bank able to take on many global banks in the Indian market. The bank is expanding in overseas markets. It has operations in the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada. It acquired a small bank in Russia recently. It has tie-ups with major banks in the US and China. The bank is aggressively targeting the NRI (Non Resident Indian) population for expanding its business. The global opportunity spectrum is changing dramatically, and in the next three years, our global business will contribute one-third of our book -topline and bottomline. Today it's about 10-12 per cent. The NRI is a great customer and the other is the Indian corporate who is globalising -- either in the trade business or is setting up businesses abroad. Our USP (unique selling proposition) is our technology; we can get him to

talk to his constituents online. The NRI is an interesting link because today he has tremendous needs in India; he wants to remit money, buy a home, especially the H1 visa guys. This year 10 per cent of our home loans will be to NRIs.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Founded in 1955 as Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, ICICI Limited was established by the Government of India in the 1960s as a Financial Institution like Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) to finance large industrial projects. ICICI then, was not a bank and hence could not take retail deposits and was not required to comply with Indian banking requirements for liquid reserves. ICICI borrowed funds from various agencies like the World Bank, often at concessional rates. These funds were deployed in large corporate loans. However, the scenario changed drastically in1990s when ICICI founded a separate legal entity and named it "ICICI Bank".ICICI Bank, as the name would suggest, undertook normal banking operations like accepting deposits, issuing credit cards, providing car loans etc. The experiment was so successful that ICICI merged into ICICI Bank and this "reverse merger" happened in 2002. ICICI Bank (BSE: ICICI) (formerly Industrial Credit and Investment

Corporation of India) "ICICI Bank is India's second largest Bank with consolidated total assets of over Rs. 470,000 crores and networth of over Rs. 50,000 crores. The Bank's capital adequacy ratio of 15.6% is among the
7

highest levels of capital adequacy in large Indian banks and much higher than the regulatory requirement of 9.0%. ICICI Bank made a profit after tax of Rs. 4,158 crore (over US$ 850 million) in FY2008 and Rs. 3,014 crore (US$ 619 million) in the nine months ended December 31, 2008." ICICI Bank offers a wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers through a variety of delivery channels and specialised subsidiaries and affiliates in the areas of investment banking, life and non-life insurance, venture capital and asset management. ICICI Bank is also the largest issuer of credit cards in India. Banks have also provide internet banking, phone banking, anywhere banking, mobile banking, debit cards, Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and combined various other services and integrated them into the mainstream banking arena. In a span of just four years, ICICI Bank has emerged as a consumer banking behemoth. With a retail book of over Rs 56,000 crore (Rs 560 billion) and a market share that is the envy of competition -- it has a share of over 30 per cent -- ICICI Bank today has reached a commanding position. The bank boasts of the widest integrated technology platform in the country and only a

fourth of its business takes place at its branches The Bank is expanding in overseas markets and has the largest international balance sheet among Indian banks. ICICI Bank now has whollyowned subsidiaries, branches and representatives offices in 18 countries, including an offshore unit in Mumbai. This includes wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada, Russia and the UK (the subsidiary through which the hisave savings brand is operated), offshore banking units in Bahrain and Singapore, an advisory branch in Dubai, branches in Belgium, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka,
8

and representative offices in Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and USA. Overseas, the Bank is targeting the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) population in particular.

ICICI Bank positioned itself as technology-savvy, customerfriendly bank. To support its technology-focused strategy, ICICI Bank needed a robust technology platform that would help it achieve its business goals. After an intense evaluation of several global vendors, ICICI Bank identified Infosys as its technology partner and selected Finacle, the universal banking solution from Infosys, as its core banking platform. An open systems approach and

low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) were some of the key benefits Finacle offered the bank. Unlike most banks of that era, ICICI Bank was automated from day one, when its first branch opened in the city of Chennai. ICICI Bank was set up when the process of deregulation and liberalization had just begun in India, and the Reserve Bank of India (Indias central bank) had paved the way for private players in the banking sector, which at that time was dominated by state-owned and foreign banks. Serving a majority of the countrys populace, state-owned banks had a large branch network, with minimal or no automation and had little focus on service. Foreign banks, on the other hand, deployed high-end technology, had innovative product offerings, but had a very small branch network that serviced only corporates and individuals with high net-worth.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF ICICI BANK


64

SWOT ANALYSIS: SWOT analysis is done for a company, to find out its overall Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats and opportunities leading to gauging the competitive potential of the company. The SWOT Analysis enables a company to recognize its market standing and adopt strategies accordingly. Here SWOT analysis of ICICI bank is made to understand the positioning of the bank better:
65

STRENGTHS

1. BRAND NAME: ICICI Bank has earned a reputation in the market for extending quality services to the market vis- -vis its competitors. It has earned a strong Brand name in banking in a very short span of time. 2. MARKET SHARE: ICICI Bank has the largest market share of 34% in the IT & ITES industry in Hyderabad according to our survey (within the limitation of the sample size.) 3. HUGE NETWORK: ICICI Bank has the highest number of linked branches in the country. The bank operates through a network of 450 BRANCHES AND over 1800 ATMs across India, thus enabling them to serve customer in better way. 4. DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO: ICICI Bank has all the products under its belt, which help it to extend the relationship with existing customer. ICICI Bank has umbrella of products to offer their customers, if once customer has relationship with the bank. Some Products, which ICICI Bank is offering are: Retail Banking Business Banking Merchant Establishment Services (EDC Machine) Personal loans & Car loans 66 Demat Services with E-Broking Mutual Fund (ICICI Bank is the Distributor of all Mutual Fund) Insurance Housing Loans 5. SALARY ACCOUNT: One very interesting thing that we have observed in our survey is that ICICI is having an edge over other banks in case of Salary Account. Most of the companies are having their Salary Account with ICICI even if their Current Account is with any other Bank. This is mainly because of the huge network of ATMs and branches of ICICI. 6. WORKING HOURS: ICICI is the only bank which is having its working hours from 8 to 8 which is one of the major strength of ICICI Bank with respect to IT & ITES Industry. As most of the IT & ITES companies are global players and their Parent company is in US, so they have to work according to their office time. Thus some have

their Office time in the morning and some have it in the evening so if the working hour of the bank is 8 to 8 it is very convenient for them. 7. TREASURY DEPARTMENT: ICICI is the only bank which is having its treasury department especially for Hyderabad Customers. So customers can get the best rates for foreign exchange. 8. AGGRESSIVE MARKETING: ICICI Bank is known for its aggressive marketing of its products. Recent Endorsement of its product by AMITABH BAHCHAN proves the same. This gives ICICI an edge over other banks. 67 9. TECHNOLOGY: From its inception, ICICI Bank has adopted a policy of selecting internationally proven and specialized Packaged Systems for its technology. ICICI banks technology platform has been acknowledged globally as one of the best in terms of robustness, flexibility and cost efficiency. ICICI Bank is in a position to leverage this platform to further build cost and service advantage.

WEAKNESS

1. TRANSACTION COST: ICICI Bank charges high cost for its transactions. Through our data analysis we have find out that most of the small companies prefer nationalized banks only because of this cost factor. Also the group has found out that there are companies which are going for multi bank system i.e. they are using only those facilities of ICICI Bank which are provided at cheaper rates (read Salary Account) and for other services they are going to nationalize banks and MNCs (read Forex). So there exists a huge potential for ICICI Bank if they are ready to make their transaction cost flexible. 2. FOCUS ONLY ON HIGH END CUSTOMERS: The bank targets only the top bracket of clients and does not cater to the needs of small customers. Due to this reason the bank may sometimes loose good clients. 3. DEFENSIVE APPROACH IN LENDING: ICICI Bank has a defensive approach in

lending. Mainly to IT & ITES companies Bank do not provide loan as these companies are not having collaterals so bank hesitate in giving loans to them. Because of this policy companies prefer nationalized banks and ICICI Bank in turn sometimes loose potential customers. 4. LITTLE PRESENCE OUTSIDE INDIA: ICICI Bank is having little presence Outside India, because of which companies are preferring MNC Bank, mainly Citibank. So if ICICI Bank tries to emerge outside India then it has a huge potential of customers. 68 5. POOR CUSTOMER CARE/SERVICE: With its aggressive marketing ICICI Bank is rapidly increasing its customer base. They are not however, increasing the number of employees accordingly. This is leading to deterioration of the standard of customer service.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. NEW IT & ITES COMPANIES: IT & ITES sector is on a boom in the Indian market context, with new companies mushrooming in the market; it opens the door for ICICI bank to capture the huge untapped market. 2. Dissatisfied Customers of Other Banks: The group from its survey and analysis of IT companies have found out that there are many companies which are not satisfied with its current bank, so ICICI with its superior service quality and long working hours can capture those customers. 3. Remittances: From the analysis group has also found out that ICICI bank has very little presence as far as the EEFC account is concerned. Companies prefer to bank with MNCs (which have greater presence in the foreign countries) and nationalized banks (which according to the companies provide lower transaction rates) to get their inward remittances in spite of ICICI being providing one of the most competitive rates. So the

bank can promote its EEFC account better and get the key to the door of huge potential market. 69 4. Business advising for smaller Players: The analysis has also indicated that the concept of business advising though very popular with the higher end players is virtually non existent in the lower end of the market. ICICI should take this opportunity to provide business advising to the smaller companies at competitive rates and try to take the first mover advantage.

THREATS

1) Advent of MNC banks: Large numbers of MNC banks are mushrooming in the Indian market due to the friendly policies adopted by the government. This can increase the level of competition and prove a potential threat for the market share of ICICI bank. 2) Dissatisfied Customers: The analysis indicated that though most of the companies are satisfied with the products offered by ICICI bank but the poor customer support/ service is creating a lot of dissatisfaction among the customers, this can prove to be a serious problem as far as the market reputation of the bank is concerned and cane be a major threat in future business acquisition. 3) Ever improving nationalized banks: With PSU banks like SBI going all out to compete with the private banks and government giving them a free hand to do so, it can prove to be serious threat for banks like ICICI. 70
