Indian households have increasingly been inclined towards financial savings in the recent
past. Net financial savings as a % of net household savings increased to 38% as of FY18, up
from 31% in FY12. This has helped sustain flows into financial assets, despite a general
decrease in the savings rate in the economy. Gross savings to GDP ratio has declined to
30.5% as of FY18, from 34.6% as of FY12. Additionally, with increasing financial literacy in
the country, proportion of gross savings being invested in non-bank deposit financial
channels (like mutual funds and life insurance) has seen an increase (MF AUM has grown at a
CAGR of 15% over FY14-19). This is one of the reasons for slower bank deposit accretion
(c.9.6% CAGR over FY14-19). Accordingly, bank deposits to GDP ratio has witnessed a
decline to 66% as of FY19, from 71% as of FY14, indicating that deposit growth has been
slower than GDP growth over FY14-19 (9.6% vs. 11.2%).

For CA and SA deposits, we see that the CAGR (FY14-19) was largely similar across regions.
For Term Deposits, while we see a low CAGR of 3% in Western region (already at a high
penetration), other regions witnessed a more comparable CAGR ranging from 9-11%.

Given the high level of deposit penetration, incremental deposit growth from these regions
will largely be a factor of increase in GDP per capita (and in turn increased savings). Hence,
competition among banks is expected to remain high with focus on getting a higher share of
the existing as well as incremental deposits. Accordingly, western and northern regions have
seen higher market share gains by private banks at 12% and 7% respectively during FY14-
18.
Exhibit 15. Private banks have higher market share gains in Northern and Western regions
(FY14-18)
While the bank deposits to GDP ratio for eastern and central regions (representing 26% of
total banking system deposits as on Mar-19) is fairly close to national average at 67% and
59% respectively, high growth opportunity exists in these regions due to lower branch
penetration.

While there are ample growth opportunities for deposit growth in eastern and central regions
given the low levels of penetration, private banks are expected to benefit more given their
disproportionately lower levels of branch utilisation as compared to PSU banks. Deposits per
branch for private banks in east and central regions stood at 0.6x and 0.8x of their PSU
counterparts respectively. This is as compared to a national average of 1.1x, which indicates
that private banks are relatively under-utilised in the eastern and central regions.

Bank deposits to GDP ratio for Southern region (representing 24% of total banking system
deposits as on Mar-19) at 54% is lower than national average of 66%. While Southern states
have a well-established branch network, the deposit per branch is lower (c.INR 724mn
against national average of c.INR 833mn) , which indicates that there is room for
improvement in utilisation of branches.

We believe the states of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Telangana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Assam are the top contenders for the incremental deposit
growth in the banking system.

The following table denotes the top states where the deposit penetration is higher compared
to the national average. We expect that there will be intense competition to drive a higher
share of the existing as well as incremental deposits.
As can be seen from the below exhibit, PSU banks have lost a substantial deposit market
share of c.7ppts to private banks during FY14-18. While private banks have witnessed a
market share gain across all segments – current, savings and term deposits, we see that the
gain in savings account deposit has been disproportionately lower at c. 5ppts when
compared to current account (c.10ppts) and term (7ppts) deposits. We see that change in SA
market share closely tracks the change in branch market share when compared to change in
CA and TD market share.
One of the possible reasons for this trend is the relatively stickier nature of savings account
deposits - household sector (individuals, proprietors, partnerships, trusts, etc.) owned 82.4%
of the total savings deposits as of Mar-18 while private corporates (incl. financial sector
corporates) own a larger proportion of total current account deposits at c.44.2%.
Accordingly, private banks have been able to garner disproportionate market share gains on
the CA and TD front, while the SA market share gains have largely tracked branch market
share changes.

As on Mar-18, term deposits continue to be the most popular type of deposit across
segments (58% of total deposits) as exhibited in Exhibit 26 below. On the CASA front, while
private corporates tend to have higher investments in form of CA deposits (27% of private
corporate deposits and ‘household-others’), individual households generally have an
inclination towards SA deposits (45% of their total deposits).
Accordingly, as on Mar-18, the overall current account deposits were dominated by private
corporates (incl. financials) and household – others (largely sole proprietors / partnership
firms) accounting for 44% and 24% share of total CA deposits respectively. Individuals
continue to form a significant part of the overall savings account and term deposits (77% of
total SA deposits and 49% of total term deposits).

Deposits of household - individuals have seen a robust CAGR of 12% over FY14-18 led by
16% CAGR in savings account deposits and followed by 10% CAGR in term deposits.
However, the CAGR in deposits for private corporates was low at 4% - one possible driver
could be the slower pace of their earnings growth over FY14-18 (NIFTY FY14-18 earnings
CAGR at c.7%). Interestingly, private corporates were able to maintain a strong pace of
growth in the current account deposits (15% CAGR) while the slowdown was witnessed in
term deposits growth (4% CAGR). Similar trend was seen for household – others (largely sole
proprietors / partnership firms) with a 13% and 2% CAGR in current account and term
deposits respectively leading to a moderate overall deposit CAGR of 5% in FY14-18.
