FINANCE
Finance is that business activity that is concerned with the organization and conversion of
capital funds in meeting financial needs and overall objectives of a business enterprise.
The basis for financial planning, analysis and Decision-making is the financial information.
Financial information is needed to predict, compare and evaluate the firm‟s earning ability.
It is also required to aid in economic decision-making investment and financial statement or
accounting reports.
In the modern environment, finance occupies a key position; value of the company
represents financial stamina that it got over the long run. Finance is well defined only when
the source is obtained from profitable funds and scope, the employment of finance, how
best it can install in the business. Broad scope of finance function is concerned with almost
all aspects of business operations. Although it is difficult to set limits to finance function,
there are many number of business decisions, which do not involve finance.
SCOPE OF FINANCE
What is finance? What are a firm‟s financial activities? How are they related to the firm‟
other activities? Firms create manufacturing capacities for production of goods; some
provide services to customers. They sell their goods or services to earn profit. They raise
funds to acquire manufacturing and other facilities. Thus, the three most important
activities of a business firm are:
1. Production.
2. Marketing.
3. Finance.
A firm secures whatever capital it needs and employs it in activities, which generate return
on invested capital.
FINANCE FUCTIONS
It may be difficult to separate the finance functions from production, marketing and other
functions, but the functions themselves can be readily identified. The functions of raising
funds, investing them in assets and distributing returns earned from assets to shareholders
are respectively known as financing decision, investment decision and dividend decision. A
firm attempts to balance cash inflows and outflows while performing these functions. This is
liquidity decision, and we may add it to the list of important finance decision or functions.
Thus finance functions include:
BANKING AN OVERVIEW
BANKING IN INDIA
India, the largest democracy of the world, is all set to become a major economic power. The
growth in the Indian Banking Industry has been more qualitative than quantitative and it is
expected to remain the same in the coming years.
The banking industry plays a very important role in the development of national economies.
Moreover, since borders between the economies of separate countries are progressively
losing importance, banks are gradually being incorporated into the global economy. Their
role and importance is steadily increasing and today, they represent major players on the
market both at domestic and international level.
Banking in one form or another was in existence even in ancient times. The writings of
Manu (the maker of old Hindu Law) and Kautilya (the Minister of Chandragupta Maurya)
contained references to banking.
Banking business has a history over 200 years. From the times of the Bank of Bengal (1806)
the sector has been witnessing qualitative and quantitative changes. Main players during
the pre-independence period were Credit Lyonnais, Allahabad Bank, Punjab National Bank
and Bank of India. With 1935 regulation the Reserve Bank of India was proclaimed the
Central Bank of India and was vested with controlling powers over the commercial banks.
The drastic development taken place during the first 25 years since independence was
Nationalization of many private banks. With this, the central government became major
policy maker for these nationalized banks.
With economic liberalization measures many private and foreign banking companies were
allowed to operate in the country. Favourable economic climate and a variety of other
factors such as demand for wide range of financial products from various sections of the
society led to mutually beneficial growth to the banking sector and economic growth
process. This was coincided by technology development in the banking operations. Today
most of the Indian cities have networked banking facility as well as Internet banking facility.
A customer is empowered to operate his account from any part of the country. UTI Bank,
ICICI, HDFC Bank and Bank of Punjab are the main winners of the race.
HISTORY & EVOLUTION OF INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM:
The history of Indian Banking can be identified in three distinct phases:
Early phase from 1786 to 1969 Nationalization of Banks and up to 1991 prior to banking
sector Reforms New phase of Indian Banking with the advent of Financial & Banking Sector
Reforms after 1991
PHASE I:
The General Bank of India was set up in the year 1786. Next came Bank of Hindustan and
Bank of Bengal. The East India Company established Bank of Bengal (1809), Bank of Bombay
(1840) and Bank of Madras (1843) as independent units and called it Presidency Banks.
These three banks were amalgamated in 1920 and Imperial Bank of India was established
which started as private shareholders banks, mostly European shareholders.
In 1865 Allahabad bank was established and first time exclusively by Indians, Punjab
National Bank ltd was set up in 1894 with headquarters at Lahore. Between 1906 and 1913,
Bank of India, Central Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, Indian Bank and Bank of
Mysore were set up. Reserve Bank of India came in 1935.
PHASE II:
Seven banks forming subsidiary of State Bank of India was nationalized in 1960 on 19th July
1969, major process of nationalization was carried out. It was the effort of the then Prime
Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. 14 major commercial banks in the country were
Nationalized. Second phase of nationalization Indian Banking Sector Reform was carried out
in 1980 with seven more banks. This step brought 80% of the banking segment in India
under Government Ownership.
The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to Regulate Banking
Institutions in the country:
PHASE III:
This phase has introduced many more products and facilities in the banking sector in its
reforms measures. In 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimhan, a committee was set
up by his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices.
The market today gives us a challenge to provide multiple and innovative contemporary
services to the customer through a consolidated window as so to ensure that the bank‟s
customer gets “Uniformity and Consistency” of service delivery across time and at every
touch point across all channels. The pace of innovation is accelerating and security threat
has become prime of all electronic transactions. High cost structure rendering mass-market
servicing is prohibitively expensive. Present day tech-savvy bankers are now more looking
at reduction in their operating costs by adopting scalable and secure technology thereby
reducing the response time to their customers so as to improve their client base and
economies of scale.
The solution lies to market demands and challenges lies in innovation of new offering with
minimum dependence on branches – a multi-channel bank and to eliminate the
disadvantage of an inadequate branch network. Generation of leads to cross sell and
creating additional revenues with utmost customer satisfaction has become focal point
worldwide for the success of a Bank.
Retail banking is, however, quite broad in nature - it refers to the dealing of commercial
banks with individual customers, both on liabilities and assets sides of the balance sheet.
Fixed, current / savings accounts on the liabilities side; and mortgages, loans (e.g., personal,
housing, auto, and educational) on the assets side, are the more important of the products
offered by banks. Related ancillary services include credit cards, or depository services.
Retail banking refers to provision of banking services to individuals and small business
where the financial
institutions are dealing with large number of low value transactions. This is in contrast to
wholesale banking where the customers are large, often multinational companies,
governments and government enterprise, and the financial institution deal in small numbers
of high value transactions. The concept is not new to banks but is now viewed as an
important and attractive market segment that offers opportunities for growth and profits.
Retail banking and retail lending are often used as synonyms but in fact, the later is just the
part of retail banking. In retail banking all the needs of individual customers are taken care
of in a well-integrated manner. Banking in India originated in the last decades first banks
were The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, which
started in 1770; both are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State
Bank of India, which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost
immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the
other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras, all three of which were
established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the
Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks
merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence,
became the State Bank of India in 1955.
IndusInd Bank Limited is a Mumbai based Indian new generation bank, established in 1994.
The bank offers commercial, transactional and electronic banking products and services.
IndusInd Bank was inaugurated in April 1994 by then Union Finance Minister Manmohan
Singh. Indusind Bank is the first among the new-generation private banks in India.
The bank started its operations with a capital amount of Rs. 1 billion among which Rs. 600
million was raised by the Indian Residents and Rs. 400 million was raised by the Non-
Resident Indians. The bank has specialized in retail banking services and continuously
upgrades its support systems by introducing newer technologies. It is also working on
expanding its network of branches all across the country along with meeting the global
benchmark. According to the bank, its name is derived from the Indus Valley Civilisation.
As on 31 December 2018, IndusInd Bank has 1,558 branches, and 2453 ATMs spread across
in different geographical locations of the country.[8] It also has representative offices in
London, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. . Mumbai has the maximum number of bank branches
followed by New Delhi and Chennai.The bank has also proposed to double the branches
count to 1200 by March 2019.
The bank began its operations on 17 April 1994 under the chairmanship of S.P. Hinduja with
the primary objective of serving the NRI community.
The latest phenomenon of financial uncertainty has underlined the potential infirmity of
financial structures and the effect that financial uncertainty can have on the broad
economy. After recognizing the same, more consciousness has to be given for
understanding the main causes and consequences of financial calamity and to develop the
policy and process structure for stimulating the full-fledged and well planned financial
systems. A main part of that work associates to “corporate governance” arrangements.
“Corporate governance” has attracted considerable attention over the past decades. The
rapid development of “corporate governance” and its structures reflect its importance to
business entities and communities. Governments must consider it’s important in assuring
accountability and improving performance. “Corporate governance” brought in lime light
through series of corporate failures like such as Enron and World Corn. These companies
collapsed because of non-adherence of “corporate governance” and unethical practices
they indulged in. Satyam scandal in India is also the case of non-adherence of “corporate
governance”. There is no deviation for financial companies and institutions; more
transparency is required in functioning of such companied & financial institutions because
there are several scams via these Institutions. As competency has increased in domestic
banking market, banks are not looking the “corporate governance” simply as a code of
conduct for doing the business but want to utilize it as a tool for lowering the risk and to
enhance the value of shareholders. Powerful “corporate governance” is very important and
critical for function the banking system in proper way and also for the entire economy.
Banks play a very important and crucial part in the economic system to intermediate the
money from public and depositors to the other functions and affairs which support the
business and enterprise and help to drive the economy. Safety and soundness are two keys
of banks which ensure the financial stability, and the methodology in which banks behave
and do their business therefore it is prominent to the economy. Weak governance in
banking system and in financial system can lead the problems across the banking sector and
for entire economy as well. “Corporate governance” policies recommended by Reserve Bank
of India and Basel Committee require for maintaining a well-balanced and efficient board
which is required for effective strategy execution and efficient strategy implementation.
This study is about the “Indusind Bank” to find out that how the bank adopted “corporate
governance” principles and what is its effect on performances.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Banking begins with the first prototype banks of merchants of the ancient world,
which made grain loans to farmers and traders who carried goods between cities. This
began around 2000 BC in Assyria and Babylonia. Later, in ancient Greece and during the
Roman Empire, lenders based in temples made loans and added two important innovations:
they accepted deposits and changed money. Archaeology from this period in ancient China
andIndia, also shows evidence of money lending activity.
Banking, in the modern sense of the word, can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance
Italy, to the rich cities in the north such as Florence, Venice andGenoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi
families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other
parts of Europe. Perhaps the most famous Italian bank was the Medici bank, established by
Giovanni Medici in 1397
The development of banking spread from northern Italy through Europe and a number of
important innovations took place in Amsterdam during the Dutch Republic in the 16th
century, and in London in the 17th century. During the 20th century, developments in
telecommunications and computing caused major changes to banks operations and let
banks dramatically increase in size and geographic spread. The Late-2000s financial crisis
caused many bank failures, including of some of the world's largest banks, and much debate
about bank regulation.
In ancient India there is evidence of loans from the Vedic period (beginning 1750 BC). Later
during the Maurya dynasty (321 to 185 BC), an instrument called adesha was in use, which
was an order on a banker desiring him to pay the money of the note to a third person,
which corresponds to the definition of a bill of exchange as we understand it today. During
the
Buddhist period, there was considerable use of these instruments. Merchants in large towns
gave letters of credit to one another.
GROWTH OF THE BANKING:
Banking India originated in the first decade of eighteenth century with the general bank of
India coming into existence in 1786. this was followed by bank of Hindustan both these
banks are defunct. the oldest bank in existence in India is the state bank of India being
established as the bank of Bengal in Kolkata in June 1806. a couple of decades later, foreign
banks like credit Lyonnais started their Kolkata operations in the 1850s. at the point of time,
Kolkata was the most active trading port mainly due to the trade of the British empire and
due to which banking activity took routes there and prospered. The first fully Indian owned
bank was the Allahabad bank, which was established in 1865 by the1900s. the market
expanded with establishment of banks such as Punjab national bank, in 1895 in Lahore and
bank of India in 1906, in Mumbai both of which were founded under private ownership . the
reserve bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating Indian banking sector
from 1935 after the India's independence in 1947 the reserve bank was nationalized and
given broader power.
The Indian banking industry which is governed by the banking regulation act of India, in
1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories, non scheduled and scheduled
banks. Scheduled banks comprise commercial banks and the cooperative 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. These
banks have over 67000 braches spread across the country.
At the end of late-18th century there were hardly any bank in India in the modern sense of
the term. at the time of the American civil war a void was created as the supply of cotton to
Lancashire stopped from the Americans. some banks were opened at that time which
functioned as entities to finance industry, including speculative trades in cotton. with large
exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in Indian during that period
could not survive and failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits
with banks. Subsequently, banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for
next several decades until the beginning of the 20th century.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Indian economy was passing through a relative period
of stability. Around five decades have elapsed since the India's first war of independence,
and the social, industrial and other infrastructure have developed. at that time there were
very small banks operated by Indians, and most of them were owned and operated by
particular communities. The baking in India was controlled and dominated by the
presidency banks, namely, the bank of Bombay, the bank of Bengal, and the bank of madras
- which later on merged to form the imperial bank of India, and imperial bank of India, upon
India's independence, was renamed the state bank of India. There were also some
exchanges banks, as also a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated in
different segments of the economy. the presidency banks were like the central banks and
discharged most of the functions of central banks. They were established under charters
from the British east India Company. The exchange banks, mostly owned by the Europeans,
concentrated on financing of foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally
undercapitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with presidency banks,
and the exchange banks. There was potential for many new banks as the economy was
growing.
Under these circumstances, many Indians came forward to set up banks, and many banks
were set up at that time, and a number of them set up around that time continued to
survive and prosper even now like bank of India and corporation bank, Indian bank, bank of
Baroda, syndicate bank and canara bank.
Post-independence
The partition of India in 1947 had adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and West
Bengal, and banking activities had remained paralyzed for months. India's independence
marked the end of a regime of the laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The government of
India initiated measures to play an active role in the economic life of the nation, and the
industrial policy resolution adopted by the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed economy.
This resulted into greater involvement of the state in different segments of the economy
including banking and finance. The manor steps to regulate banking included:
In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was nationalized,
and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.
In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank
of India "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in India.
" The banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an existing bank
may be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two banks could have common
directors.
However, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the State
Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This changed with
the nationalization of major banks in India on 19th July, 1969.
Nationalization
The nationalization of 14 major banks with deposits of Rs. 50 crores or more in July 1969
was a "historic" and momentous event in the history of India. Small industrial and business
units are continuously and consistently ignored and starved of funds, even though the
Government policy was to encourage small, tiny and cottage and village industries.
Agricultural credit was never seriously considered by banks. Public funds were used to
support anti-social and illegal activities against the interest of the general public. It was for
these reasons that the Government took over 14 top commercial banks in July 1969. In
1980 again the Government took over another 6 commercial to the State Bank of India
Group which were taken over in 1955.
Branch
Expansion Initially, the banks were conservative and opened braches mainly in
metropolitan cities and other major cities. Brach expansion gained momentum after the
nationalization of major commercial banks and the introduction of the Lead Bank Scheme.
Deposit Mobilization
Planned economic development, deficit financing and increase in currency issue have led to
increase in bank deposits. At the same time, banks have contributed greatly to the
development of banking habit among people through sustained publicity, extensive branch
banking and relatively prompt service to the deposit mobilization, due partly to the
expansion of a network of bank branches and partly to the incentives given to savers. The
trend of increase in deposits and credit of scheduled banks.
Current scenario
Currently, overall, banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms of supply, product
range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private
sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assests and capital adequacy, Indian
banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets-as compared to
other in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous
body, with minimal pressure from the government. The
stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility-without any stated
exchange rate and this has mostly been true.
With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some
timeespecially in its services sector, the demand for banking services-especially
retail banking, mortgagees and investment services are expected to be strong.
Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks - 28 public sector banks, 29
private banks and 31 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000
branches and 17,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency,
the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry,
with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.
As far as the present scenario is concerned the banking industry in India is in a
transition phase. The Public Sector Banks, which are the foundation of the Indian
banking system account for more than 78 percent of total banking industry assets.
Unfortunately they are burdened with excessive nonperforming assets, massive
manpower and lack of modern technology. On the other hand the private sector
banks are witnessing immense progress. They are leaders in Internet banking,
mobile banking, phone banking, ATMs. On the other hand the public sector banks
are still facing the problem of unhappy employees. There has been a decrease of 20
percent in the employee strength of the private sector in the wake of the Voluntary
Retirement Schemes. As far as foreign banks are concerned they are likely to
succeed in India
Indusland bank was the first private bank to be set up in India. IDBI, ING Vyasa Bank,
SBI commercial and Industrial bank Ltd, Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd, Karur Vysya Bank
Ltd, Bank of Rajasthan Ltd, etc, are some Private Sector Banks. Banks from the Public
Sector include Punjab National Bank, Vijay Bank, UCO Bank, Oriental Bank,
Allahabad Bank, Andhra Bank etc.
MAJOR PLAYERS OF INDIAN BANKING SECTOR:
Since the beginning, due to huge market potential, a number of banking companies have
come up in India, which include both, public sector as well as private sector banks. However,
the list of top 10 banking companies in India has mostly been dominated by the State Bank
of India (SBI).
Developing countries like India, still has a huge number of people who do not have access to
Banking services due to scattered and fragmented locations. The people who are availing
banking services, their expectations are rising as the levels of services are increasing due to
the emergence of Information Technology and competition. Since, foreign banks are playing
in Indian market, the number of services offered has increased and banks have laid
emphasis on meeting the customer expectations.
Now, the existing situation has created various challenges and opportunity for Indian
Commercial Banks. In order to encounter the general scenario of banking industry it is
required need to understand the challenges lying with banking industry of India.
Rural Market
Banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and
reach, even Though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector and
foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are
considered to have clean,strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in
comparable economies in its region. Consequently, we have seen some examples of
inorganic growth strategy adopted by some nationalized and private sector banks to face
upcoming challenges in banking industry of India. For example recently, ICICI Bank Ltd.
merged the Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. in order to increase its reach in rural market and market
share significantly. State Bank of India (SBI), the largest public sector bank in India has also
adopted the same strategy to retain its position. It is in the process of acquiring its
associates. Recently, SBI has merged State Bank of Indore in 2010.
Management of Risks
The growing competition increases the competitiveness among banks. But, existing global
Banking scenario is seriously posing threats for Indian banking industry. We have already
witnessed the bankruptcy of some foreign banks.
According to Shrieves (1992), there is a positive association between changes in risk and
capital. Research studied the large sample of banks and results reveal that regulation was
partially effective during the period covered. Moreover, it was concluded that changes in
bank capital over the period studied was risk-based .
Wolgast, (2001) studied the Merger and acquisition activity among financial firms. The
author focused bank supervisors in context with success of mergers, risk management,
financial system stability and market liquidity. The study concluded that large institutions
are able to maintain a superior level of risk management .
Al-Tamimi and Al-Mazrooei (2007) examined the risk management practices and techniques
in dealing with different types of risk. Moreover, they compared risk management practices
between the two sets of banks. The study found the three most important types of risk i.e.
commercial banks foreign exchange risk, followed by credit risk, and operating risk.
Sensarma and Jayadev (2009) used selected accounting ratios as risk management variables
and attempted to gauge the overall risk management capability of banks. They used
multivariatestatistical techniques to summarize these accounting ratios. Moreover, the
paper also analyzed the impact of these risk management scores on stock returns through
regression analysis. Researchers found that Indian banks' risk management capabilities have
been improving overtime. Returns on the banks' stocks appeared to be sensitive to risk
management capability of banks. The study suggest that banks want to enhance
shareholder wealth will have to focus onsuccessfully managing various risks.
Growth of Banking
The Indian banking industry experienced sustained productivity growth, which was driven
mainly by technological progress. Banks' ownership structure does not seem to matter as
much as increased competition in TFP growth. Foreign banks appear to have acted as
technological innovators when competition increased, which added to the competitive
pressure in the banking market. Finally, our results also indicate an increase in risk-taking
behaviour, along with the whole deregulation process.
It was found in the study of Goyal and Joshi (2011a) that small and local banks face difficulty
in bearing the impact of global economy therefore, they need support and it is one of the
reasons for merger. Some private banks used mergers as a strategic tool for expanding their
horizons. There is huge potential in rural markets of India, which is not yet explored by the
major banks. Therefore ICICI Bank Ltd. has used mergers as their expansion strategy in rural
market. They are successful in making their presence in rural India. It strengthens their
network across geochartical boundary, improves customer base and market share.
of assets and liabilities, lending to sensitive sectors, movements in NPAs, capital, provisions,
shareholdings of the government, value of investment in India and abroad, operating and
profitability indicators, the total investments made in the equity share, units of mutual
funds, bonds, debentures, aggregate advances against shares and so on .
Global Banking
It is practically and fundamentally impossible for any nation to exclude itself from world
economy. Therefore, for sustainable development, one has to adopt integration process in
the form of liberalization and globalization as India spread the red carpet for foreign firms in
1991. The impact of globalization becomes challenges for the domestic enterprises as they
are bound to compete with global players. If we look at the Indian Banking Industry, then
we find that there are 36 foreign banks operating in India, which becomes a major challenge
for Nationalized and private sector banks. These foreign banks are large in size, technically
advanced and having presence in global market, which gives more and better options and
services to Indian traders.
Financial Inclusion
Financial inclusion has become a necessity in today‟s business environment. Whatever is
Produced by business houses, that has to be under the check from various perspectives like
Environmental concerns, corporate governance, social and ethical issues. Apart from it to
bridge the gap between rich and poor, the poor people of the country should be given
proper attention to improve their economic condition. Dev (2006) stated that financial
inclusion is significant from the point of view of living conditions of poor people, farmers,
rural non-farm enterprises and other vulnerable groups. Financial inclusion, in terms of
access to credit from formal institutions to various social groups. Apart from formal banking
institutions, which should look at inclusion both as a business opportunity and social
responsibility, the author conclude that role of the self-help group movement and
microfinance institutions is important to improve financial inclusion. The study study
suggested that this requires new regulatory procedures and de-politicisation of the financial
system.
Employees’ Retention
The banking industry has transformed rapidly in the last ten years, shifting from
transactional and customer service-oriented to an increasingly aggressive environment,
where competition for revenue is on top priority. The diminishing employee morale results
in decreased revenue. Due to the intrinsically close ties between staff and clients, losing
those employees completely can mean the loss of valuable customer relationships. The
retail banking industry is concerned about employee retention from all levels: from tellers to
executives to customer service representatives because competition is always moving in to
hire them away.
Mitchell, Holtom, Lee and Graske (2001) asserted in their study that people often leave for
reasons unrelated to their jobs. In many cases, unexpected events or shocks are the cause.
Employees also often stay because of attachments and their sense of fit, both on the job
and in their community . Saxena and Monika (2010) studied a case of 5 companies out of
1000 organizations and 8752 respondents surveyed across 800 cities in India by Business
Today. The survey was on nine basic parameters like career and personal growth, company
prestige, training, financial compensation and benefits and merit based performance
evaluation. It was concluded that the biggest challenge for organizations is that when new
employees appointed, it is difficult to merge them in organizational culture. Each
organization has its own unique culture and most often, when brought together, these
cultures clash. When there is no retention, employees point to issues such as identity,
communication problems, human resources problems, ego clashes, and intergroup conflicts,
which all fall under the category of “cultural differences” .
Customer Retention
Levesque and McDougall (1996) investigated the major determinants of customer
satisfaction and future intentions in the retail bank sector. They identified the determinants
which include service quality dimensions (e.g. getting it right the first time), service features
(e.g. competitiveinterest rates), service problems, service recovery and products used. It
was found, in particular, that service problems and the bank‟s service recovery ability have
a major impact on customer satisfaction and intentions to switch .
Environmental Concerns
It is quite clear from the recently formed Copenhagen Climate Council (CCC) that there is a
severe need for environmental awareness among all the countries of the world. CCC
published Thought Leadership Series on Climate Change which is a collection of
inspirational, concise and clearly argued pieces from some of the world's most renowned
thinkers and business leaders on climate change. The objective of the pieces is to assist in
enhancing the public and political awareness of the actions that could have a significant
impact on global emissions growth and to disseminate the message that it is time to act. The
Thought Leadership Series was aimed at explaining and spreading awareness of the key
elements in the business and policy response to the climate problem. The rationale for the
Thought Leadership Series was to change the focus of people.

28.51% and Advances by 28.59% over the previous year.
The Bank continued to focus on increasing earnings from its core banking business,

8,317.07 crores, as compared to ` 6,867.75 crores in the previous year.
However, the Net Profit for the year under review was adversely impacted when a large
exposure to a group in the infrastructure sector turned non-performing towards end of the
year; in an unprecedented move, the Govt. of India replaced the entire Board of Directors
and the reconstituted Board initiated a resolution plan, and in the interim, the National
Company Law Tribunal ordered a moratorium on all recovery actions.

to a dedicated unit which is completely independent of business, risk, audit or other
functions. This unit does not originate accounting entries except for limited matters
such as Share Capital, Taxes and Transfers to Reserves. The Bank has implemented
adequate procedures and internal controls which provide reasonable assurance

Limited (the “Bank”) as of March 31, 2019 in conjunction with our audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements of the Bank for the year ended on that date.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Bank’s internal financial controls over

Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting (the
“Guidance Note”) and the Standards on Auditing as specified under section 143(10) of the
Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls, both
applicable to an audit of Internal Financial Controls and, both issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we
comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over financial reporting were
established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.
Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of
the internal financial controls system over financial reporting and their operating
effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing
the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

SUGGESTIONS
As part of the marketing strategy, banks could organize special exhibitions, trade
shows in strategic locations at times of festival celebrations/events, etc. to create
awareness among people.
Small pamphlets (containing specific retail loan products, features, EMI structure
both on floating and fixed interest basis, repayment periods, required
documentations, etc.) can be distributed while customers visit to the branches to
avoid delay in the processing of loans as well as to educate them on the importance
of retail loan schemes.
Depending up on the quantum of loan and credit rating of customer, softer
repayment terms/schedule, especially for availing various schemes, could be
thought of.
Tie ups between manufacturer and banks, and communicating the finance options,
as part of the product communications to the customer to drive volumes and
increase the retail lending penetrations.
Before the lending method was quite rigid, security oriented, but now it has
become need based.
To increase the number of customers and to maintain a good customer relationship
i would like to suggest the bank to make the minimum balance maintenance as
ZERO.
To liberalise the stringent norms in respect of documents, at the same time to give
more importance to valid documents, so that the bank can increase its transactions
through the existing customers and the new customers as well.
Lending to individuals for consumption or investment will be inflationary. Till a decade this
was the maxim driving the banks. Globalization and the resulting opening up of domestic
markets to FII‟S and the permission to the Indian corporate to tab global financial markets
have all dramatically changed the current market scenario.
Recently RBI has increased the CRR rate. It has increased to 75 basis points against 50 basis
points expected by various analysts. Due to the increase in CRR rate the lending among the
banks reduces as they have to keep a large amount with RBI. As CRR rate has increased RBI
has also increased BPLR (Basis Points for Lending Rate). Due to increase in BPLR the interest
rate on loan will also increase.
Under the new system, a base rate will be fixed on the basis of the cost of funds and other
expenses to service the customers. However, RBI, it is learnt, agreed to exempt there kinds
of loans- staff loans, loans against fixed deposits and loans under the differential rate of
interest scheme- from the base rate‟s ambit. Except these three categories, no loan will be
offered at lower than the base rate. Base rate will be revised by the banks every three
months.
By the analysis made of Indusind bank ltd it can be concluded that the performance of The
bank is satisfactory as the branch was placed from past 3 years
