LIC current scenario


Mortgage lenders have been the toast of local investors for more than four years, given the simplicity
and safety of their business models. Since last September, however, they have virtually been
toasted to a crisp. Even though many of these lenders are trading at multi-year lows, the fault lines in
their financial engineering and opacity of the real estate market have made them rather unattractive
for serious investors.
The housing finance sector growth has slowed down in the last one year due to liquidity crunch.
Housing finance companies (HFC) lowered their disbursements and raised portfolio sale through
securitization for repayment of debt obligations. Banks increased their retail home loan portfolio by
19 per cent while HFCs grew by 9 per cent last financial year, as banks used this opportunity to
expand in the retail

PROFITABILITY SQUEEZE
Change in borrowing profile, repricing of debt, maintaining additional liquidity buffer and slowdown in
growth will impact profitability. Banks moving to external benchmark will put pressure on housing
finance companies.
In the past one year, housing finance companies relied on securitization, redemption of commercial
papers, and borrowing from newer sources to support liquidity. Their share of CP borrowing overall
has fallen to 6 per cent compared to 10 per cent a year ago.
“We are in housing finance industry where fierce competition is there, and we have to remain
competitive,” said Mohanty of LIC Housing Finance. “My rates will be competitive.”

VISION
To be the best Housing Finance Company in the country.
Mission
Provide secured housing finance at affordable cost, maximizing shareholders value with higher
customer sensitivity.

LIC Housing Finance

MUMBAI : LIC Housing Finance Ltd. has referred 14 real estate projects for last-mile funding through
the alternative investment fund (AIF) created to revive stalled housing projects, said chief executive
Siddhartha Mohanty on Friday.

Mohanty told reporters that LIC Housing Finance’s exposure to these projects is about ₹1,100 crore
and it is the sole financier in all its real estate projects.

“We are very much in control (of our builder portfolio). We do not have any joint lending or any
consortium lending," he said, adding that LIC HFL has advised those developers to be in touch with
SBICAP Ventures, the investment manager.

Mohantay had told analysts on 31 January that there are 260 accounts in the developer loan portfolio
and the housing finance company has identified non-performing assets (NPAs). It has also referred
five such cases to the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). The top 10 developer loans account for
roughly 15% of the developer loan book as of the December quarter of FY20. Moreover, of the total
bad loans of ₹5,686 crore, slightly more than ₹2,000 crore is from project loans and the rest is from
the retail segment.

In November last year, the Cabinet approved the creation of a 'special window' fund to provide
priority debt financing for the completion of stalled housing projects that are in the affordable and
mid-income housing sector.

According a market study by SBICAP Ventures, there are about 4.58 lakh stalled housing units and the
aggregate funding required to complete the stalled projects is ₹55,000 crore.

Last week, the Reserve Bank of India allowed banks to extend the date of commencement of
commercial operations (DCCO) of project loans for commercial real estate, delayed for reasons
beyond promoters’ control, by another year. This extension, the RBI said, will not lead to
downgrading of the asset classification. Through this, the RBI has allowed banks the leeway to not
classify such loans as non-performing and save on provisions.

Commercial real estate exposure of banks is typically considered riskier than other loans. Hence,
banks need to set aside more money as standard asset provisions between 0.75-1% for these loans.
Typically, banks have to set aside 0.4% of a loan as provisions for most other loans.

However, this relaxation on DCCO is not applicable to non-bank lenders, the central bank clarified on
12 February.

Total commercial real estate loans by banks stood at ₹2.19 trillion as on 20 December, 15.6% higher
than a year ago. India’s largest lender State Bank of India (SBI) has an exposure of ₹32,444 crore to
commercial real estate, 1.64% of its total loan book of ₹19.78 trillion as on 31 December.

Bajaj Finserv Limited, a part of Bajaj Holdings & Investments Limited, is an Indian financial

The company employs over 20154 employees at 1409 locations, and is engaged in consumer
finance businesses, life insurance, and general insurance. [8] Apart from financial services, Bajaj
Finserv is also active in wind–energy generation with an installed capacity of 65.2 MW. [9][10][11]
Bajaj Finserv was ranked among The Economic Times 500 as #119 in 2014.[12]

Background[edit]
The financial services and wind energy businesses were transferred to Bajaj Finserv Limited (BFS)
as part of the recently concluded demerger from Bajaj Auto Limited, approved by the High Court of
Judicature at Bombay by its order dated 18 December 2007. The demerger was effective on 31
March 2007.[13]

company is classified as a Systemically Important Non–deposit taking NBFC as per RBI
Regulations.
Micro economic overview
Financial year 2018-19 (FY2019) began with an expectation of higher growth
as the economy seemed to have overcome the teething troubles of the
nation-wide roll out of the Goods and Service Tax (GST). However, a rise in
the current account deficit (CAD), concerns relating to rising non-performing
assets (NPAs) and decline in liquidity coupled with hardening interest rates
contributed to uncertainties around a higher GDP growth rate.

The second advance estimates of national income for FY2019 released by


the Central Statistics Office (CSO) on 28 February 2019 showed that the
economy could not continue the expected growth momentum. GDP growth in
the third quarter of FY2019 reduced to 6.6% after clocking 8.0% and 7.0%
growth in the first and second quarter of FY2019 respectively. The CSO
estimates GDP growth in FY2019 at 7.0% compared to 7.2% in FY2018.

Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) provided a pleasant surprise, with the
share of GFCF to GDP growing to 32.3% in FY2019 (second advance
estimates) versus 31.4% in FY2018 (first revised estimates). However, it is
perhaps too early to expect this recent uptick in the share

Industry overview

NBFCs continued to grow their share in the financial services industry. Data
published by the RBI in its Financial Stability Report dated 31 December
2018 show that NBFCs have outperformed scheduled commercial banks
(SCBs) on growth in advances, asset quality and profitability. This growth
momentum of NBFCs should result in their share in financial services sector
increasing in the near future. Table 2 gives the data

Agrowth

Despite such excellent outcomes, we at BFL believe that FY2020 may be a


challenging year. Our views are based on four factors:

 (a) Recent increases in international crude prices;


 (b) Some high frequency indicators — such as growth in manufacturing
and capital goods, the Index of Industrial Production, auto sales — suggest a
significant moderation in activity, amid a slowing global economy;
 (c) The possibility of El Niño and its risk to food prices; and
 (d) Budgetary and political announcements such as basic minimum
income support for the poor, if implemented across-the-board, could result in
higher fiscal deficit and inflation.
Having stated our concerns, it should also be stated that, with a large
customer franchise, strong liquidity position, diversified portfolio mix,
granular geographical distribution and robust risk metrics, we at BFL are
confident of successfully dealing with these challenges in FY2020.

Challenges
A well known brand Reliance Capital earlier had the old look and feel of the website and due to
this, the brand was not able to gather its presence in the internet world.
From here emerges the first challenge of developing a user friendly website wit the latest trend.
Another challenge on the line was of rankings and lead generation due to the old design. The
target audience was limited and the design of the website did not appeal to the traffic. Although
the organisation had ideas for website and marketing, but did not had the time and right source to
achieve them.

Strategy

Provide precise content with relevant brand keywords and SEO strategies to ensure relevant
search ads.
Tackle with the UX/UI problem. Designing and developing a user friendly interface which will
further help to increase and enhance the user experience that will generate the traffic and leads
afterwards.
Working on several optimization techniques to hande the load of data generation. Testing the
usability and accessibility of the product and service.

Solution

Firstly the site had to be changed completely to attract the target audience. To do that we had a
brain storming discussion with the clients to know about their needs and wants.
After concluding on the discussion and getting a brief idea about the site, we started to design
and develop a website which would reveal the brand’s emotions and convey message to the users
regarding the company’s values and morals.
After completing the first task now the focus was diverted to identify the targeted audience, then
start SEO optimization. This was done by a keyword research followed by identification of the
content requirements to bolster the website. The idea was to deliver results across the search
landscape.
In this result-oriented market, we have achived great results for our clients and our team as well.

Case Study: How the Reliance Group to Migrated from Lotus to Scalix
Linux-based Scalix solution cut messaging costs for India’s largest communications company by up to 90
percent

About the Reliance Group

The Reliance Group is among India’s top three private sector business houses, with assets of over €22
billion and an €11 billion net worth. The Group’s flagship company, Reliance Communications, is India's
largest private sector information and communications company, with over 150 million subscribers. It
has established a pan-India, high-capacity, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data
and video) digital network, to offer services spanning the entire infocomm value chain.

Other major group companies — Reliance Capital and Reliance Infrastructure — are the market leaders
in their respective areas of operation. Through its products and services, the Reliance Group touches the
life of 1 in 10 Indians every single day. It has a business presence in over 20,000 Indian towns and
450,000 villages, and in five continents across the globe.

The challenge of managing messaging costs

With more than 250 companies and a user base of more than 120,000, the Reliance Group faced several
major concerns:

 The high per user cost of their existing IBM Lotus Domino messaging platform.

 Heavy resource requirements for the vast deployment of Lotus servers.

 The premium power user licensing fee they had to pay for all their users, even though 60
percent of users only needed email with occasional access to webmail.

 As a cost saving initiative, they wanted to migrate the thousands of email-only users from MS
Office to OpenOffice and the Thunderbird email client. However, limited Lotus integration with
Thunderbird proved to be a roadblock.

 The Reliance Group’s SME and corporate clients for on-premises and hosted email were also
looking for a feature-rich, cost effective alternative to MS Exchange and Lotus Notes.

Solution Requirements

The Reliance Mail and Messaging Team came up with key criteria for a feature rich, cost effective email
and collaboration alternative:

 Email, calendaring and other features on a par with Exchange and Lotus.

 Clear licensing differentiation between power users and email-only users.

 Equal or lesser resource requirements.

 Minimal infrastructure costs for servers and third party solutions (Linux was the preferred
platform.)

 Feature rich, easy to use webmail.

 Compatible with multiple email clients, including Thunderbird and Outlook.

 Integration with existing third party applications in the ecosystem.

 Customization and re-branding for offerings to outside clients.


 Work with Active Directory setup and single sign-on.

 Work seamlessly on thinner bandwidth such as the data cards used by many Reliance Capital
field employees.

 Co-existence with the legacy Lotus Notes solution, including the syncing of address books.

 calable with high availability.

 Support for SAN/NAS storage.

 Virtualisation support.

The Scalix Solution

Using the determined criteria, the Reliance Mail and Messaging Team started evaluating several
available options in market. Including Zimbra, NetCore, Atmail, Mithi, and Google, as well as Scalix.

Proof of Concept comparison tests gave the advantage to Scalix due to its offerings, flexibility open
platform support, and speed of webmail on data cards from various locations.

Following the key feature tests, the Reliance and Scalix technical teams performed exhaustive Lotus-to-
Scalix co-existence and migration tests.

The Results

Reliance and Scalix agreed to migrate 90,000 of their users from Lotus to Scalix over a 5-year period
from 2010 to 2015. Reliance also started offering Scalix as a lower-cost hosted email solution to their
SME and corporate clients.

The results of the migration from Lotus to Scalix are proving remarkable:

 A 90 percent reduction in licensing fees for both premium and standard email users.

 Thunderbird connectivity saved local email client costs.

 Blackberry connectivity saved the additional cost of migrating the Blackberry environment.

 Deployment with the Red Hat Cluster Suite along with a virtualized environment helped

 educe server hardware requirements.

 Linux servers brought down server OS and user license costs.


 Scalix helped assure continuous operations with full 24 x 7 support for both Reliance and their
clients.

According to Mr. Rohit Dighe, head of the Reliance Mail and Messaging Team, “The deployment of Scalix
in our production environment, as well as the migration of mailboxes from our existing solution to
Scalix, happened as planned and seamlessly. Scalix has worked very well, and has more than satisfied
our expectations. In fact, we have plans to implement more licenses from Scalix in the future.”

Mr. Dighe continued, “Scalix not only provides a specific niche within the messaging and collaboration
industry, it also helps us to solve problems that others could not. They have a very impressive track
record in the open source email market.”

PWC's observations baseless, unjustified:

 PWC resigned as auditor of Reliance Capital and Reliance Home Finance citing
unsatisfactory response to 'certain observations' made by it as a part of the ongoing audit for

New Delhi: Anil Ambani-led Reliance Capital on Thursday said its erstwhile
statutory auditor Price Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants' observations about
its accounts were "completely baseless and unjustified".
On Wednesday, Reliance Capital and Reliance Home Finance said that Price
Waterhouse & Co Chartered Accountants (PWC) had resigned as auditor of both
companies citing unsatisfactory response to "certain observations" made by it as a part
of the ongoing audit for 2018-19.
"PWC's observations are completely baseless and unjustified. PWC has acted
prematurely without even statutory discussions with the audit committee," Reliance
Capital said in a regulatory filing.
Reliance Capital said its continuing auditor Pathak H.D. & Associates has been
mandated by the audit committee to submit its independent report on PWC's
observations within 15 days. "There is no question of 'diversion'; zero loans and/or
liquidity have been provided by any lender in the PWC audit period. Reliance Capital
is confident the independent report of the continuing auditor will establish that there
are no irregularities," the company added.
Reliance Capital said it was by law required to fund only group entities, being a core
investment company (CIC). All resources had been utilised purely to support group
debt servicing of ₹35,000 crore in the past 14 months.
Both Reliance Capital and Reliance Home Finance on Wednesday said they did "not
agree with the reasons given by PWC" for its resignation.
PWC cited the companies' failure to convene audit committee meetings within the
expected time, despite multiple letters of intent sent to them, as one of the reasons for
the resignation, the firms had informed stock exchanges.
PWC also stated that the companies said they might initiate appropriate legal
proceedings against the firm, according to the filings.
According to PWC, these actions by the companies prevented it from performing its
duties as statutory auditors and exercising independent judgment in making a report to
the members of the company, both companies said, elaborating on the reasons behind
the resignation.
The companies, however, stated they duly responded to various queries and letters of
PWC and convened meetings of their audit committees on June 12, 2019, to further
respond to letters from PwC.
Both companies said they expected PWC to participate in the meetings of the audit
committees and not resign on the eve thereof.
The companies said they also furnished all requisite and satisfactory details as
required by PWC, especially those including certification and confirmations of the
transactions in question on multiple occasions by PWC itself.
With regard to legal proceedings, the firms had clearly stated that the same would be
initiated "only if so legally advised, that too if required to protect the interests of all
stakeholders, and it was hard to see how PWC took exception to the approach," the
two companies added.
Shares of Reliance Capital were trading 4.06% on the BSE.
Reliance Group Chairman Anil Ambani on Tuesday said his group was committed to
meet all payment obligations in a timely manner and had already serviced debt
worth ₹35,000 crore in the last 14 months.
The ₹35,000 crore worth of payments made relates to the debt of Reliance Capital,
Reliance Power and Reliance Infra, and their respective affiliates.
Reliance Group companies have sued HT Media Ltd, Mint’s publisher, and nine
others in the Bombay high court over a 2 October 2014 front-page story that they
have disputed. HT Media is contesting the case.
