1.6 ADVANTAGES AND MERITS OF MERCHANT BANKING
3. You will always have the risk of a mixed chance for success :
Merchant banks might decide to work with you on a financing package,
but that is only one step toward eventual success. Assets are often required for the
underwriting process, especially when a business is new to an industry, first getting
started, or entering into their first international market. Those assets might need to
come from the personal assets of the C-Suite to secure some financing. Merchant
banks are like all other banks – they like to invest when they know there is a good
chance for a return.

4. Government Reforms :
Government intervention was reduced, and privatization was increased. It also
raised the limits of investment and lessened direct interventions that led to an
increase in the proposition of foreign players. These were some of the causes
that hastened the increase of Merchant Banking in India. Let us also know the
services that merchant banking offers to corporate and big business houses.

1.10 Scope of Merchant Banking
2) Banker :
Bankers are yet another constituent of the primary market, who perform
an important role in the market function and its development. 'Bankers to an issue are
the bankers, who are responsible for the acceptance of application money, from the
prospective investors, for the issue of securities. They also take the responsibility for
the refund of application money to those applicants, whom no security could be
allotted.
3) Broker :
Brokers are individuals/entities who are primarily engaged in the
business of obtaining subscriptions to an issue by approaching the prospective
investors and convincing them suitably. Appointment of brokers by an issuing
company is not mandatory under the existing law. They are at liberty to appoint as
many brokers as they deem fit, or not appoint any broker, if they decide to do so.
Brokers to an issue are required to give their willingness by way of a consent letter,
copy/copies of which need to be filed, along with the prospectus, to the Registrar of
Companies (ROC). The broker/s. appointed by the issuer/manager of the issue.
manages the preliminary distribution of securities in a coordinated manner. They
attempt to secure as much direct subscription as possible from a wide range of
potential investors. The maximum brokerage payable in respect of all the public
issues of industrial securities is @1.5%. irrespective of the fact whether the issue is
underwritten or not. The maximum brokerage payable in respect of the listed
companies, on private placement basis is @0.5%. As far as the promoters' quota is
concerned (including the amount taken up by the directors, their friends and
employees, and in respect of rights issue taken by/renounced by the existing
shareholders), no brokerage is allowed to be paid. Similarly, no brokerage is
permitted to be paid i in respect of the following cases :
• If the applications are made by the institutions/banks as their part of underwriting
obligations.
• If, as a result of under-subscription of the issue, amounts are devolved on the
underwriters.
4) Register :
The registrar to an issue is essentially an intermediary in the primary market, who
undertakes the following activities :
• Collection of applications along with the application money from the investors.
• Maintenance of a proper record of the applications/monies received from the
investors.
• Maintenance of a proper record of monies paid to the seller of the securities.
• Advising the issuers in taking decision with regard to the basis of allotment of
securities in consultation with the stock exchanges.
• Finalization of the allotment of securities and issuance of allotment letters.
• Other processes associated with the issue of capital, e.g. refund order certificates and
other related documents.
5) Debenture Trustee :
They are the trustees specifically appointed and entrusted with the responsibility of
keeping a watch on and protecting the interests of debenture holders. Their
appointment is made by the issuer of the debenture before the actual issue. Debenture
trustees are required to get themselves registered as such with the SEBI, before they
get any assignment as debenture trustees.
6) Portfolio Manager :
The term 'portfolio' refers to the total securities held by an individual/entity. Portfolio
managers, as the nomenclature suggests, are the managers of portfolios of their
clients, by the virtue of a contract entered into between them and their clients. Their
activities are governed by the terms and conditions of the said contract, Portfolio
managers are generally authorized by their clients to manage, in a judicious manner,
the securities/funds held by them under their portfolio.
1.12 Services of Merchant Banks
Merchant banks offer a wide range of services to their clients, some of
which have been discussed in the following points :
1) Corporate Counselling :
Corporate counselling one of the fundamental/core services offered by a merchant
bank. Due to abundant demand for this service from each and every industrial unit,
whether new or old, the scope for this activity is unlimited. Corporate counselling
includes a number of merchant banking activities, e.g. project counselling, project
management, loan syndication, working capital management, capital re-structuring,
public issue management, fixed deposit, lease financing etc.
2) Project Counselling :
Project counselling is one of the constituents of corporate counselling activity
undertaken by the merchant banks. The services associated with project counselling
pertain to project finance, including the preparation of project reports, cost of f the
project and management of the financing design. Appraisals of various projects are
carried out on the basis of their location, marketing/technical feasibility, financial
viability, etc.
3) Loan Syndication :
Under the loan syndication, a loan is arranged by a merchant bank for its client, who
may be a big corporate, Government department, or a local authority. To start with,
the merchant bank has to arrive at/finalize the project cost, which is followed by the
next step. i.e. designing the capital structure, deciding the level of the promoters'
stake/contribution in the project, and estimating the amount of term loan to be raised
from the financial institutions. In this connection, it is relevant to ensure that various
guidelines and other requirements pertaining to the financing of industrial projects are
meticulously adhered to. A comprehensive service, covering all the activities
associated with the loan syndication, is extended by the merchant bankers.
4) Management of Capital Issues :
Management of capital issue involves a number of activities, which go much beyond
simply selling of various securities, viz. equity shares, preference shares and
debentures or bonds to the investors. Some of such activities are as follows :
• Preparation of the action plan and budget for all the expenses associated with the
issues.
• Obtaining the consent letter from SEBI, and finalizing the draft prospectus.
• Identifying and picking-up the brokers/underwriters.
• Selection of the advertising agency for the publicity of pre-issue and post-issue
matters.
• Co-ordination with the 'bankers to the issue, 'stock exchanges'. 'underwriters', and
'brokers'.
• Merchant bankers also act as advisors to the issuer with regard to the appropriate kind
of the security which needs to be issued.
• Maintenance of a close liaison among-st various agencies associated with the issue.
• Finally, a merchant banker is responsible for overall management of the issue, so that
it is fully subscribed.
5) Portfolio Management :
Management of their clients portfolio is yet another service offered by the merchant
bankers. Portfolio management envisages handling of the clients' portfolio in an
efficient manner so as to achieve the twin objectives of investment, viz. keeping the
risk at the lowest level and returns at the highest. Portfolio of a client may contain a
variety of financial securities, such as equity, debentures, units of mutual funds,
derivative products, etc. In addition to managing the existing portfolios, the merchant
bankers also advise their clients with regard to the fresh investments in financial
instruments, keeping in view the safety, liquidity and return. It is, therefore, necessary
for a merchant banker to keep themselves updated with the latest developments taking
place in the market.
8) Leasing :
The merchant bankers role in extending services to leasing companies include
arranging lease finance for them, advising on profitable structuring of the lease
transaction, facilitating the legal documentation and tax counselling.
It is paramount to understand the difference between the two banks as it will make it
easier for you to understand the merchant banking in India as compared to the other
banks-
1. Merchant banks work primarily for corporate firms, whereas commercial banks cater
to the needs of individual customers.
2. Merchant Banks are always open to take risks, but commercial banks usually avert
taking any kind of risk.
3. In merchant banks, everyone cannot open an account, whereas commercial banks are
open for everyone.
4. Merchant banks are management-oriented, but commercial banks are asset-oriented.
5. Merchant banks usually do business with equities, but commercial banks usually buy
and sell debt-related finance such as loan approvals, credit proposals, etc.
6. The major activities done by merchant bankers are underwriting, portfolio
management, consultant, and advisor, whereas commercial banks mostly play the role
of financers only.
7. Merchant banks are more related to the primary market and the commercial banks to
the secondary market.
1.14 REGISTRATION OF MERCHANT BANKERS
Merchant bankers are individual express who organize and manage the
merchant banks. The oparations of merchant banks are, therefore, influenced by the
pesonality trait of these individuals, for the success of merchant banks operations, the
qualities which merchant bankers should have are :
1. Leadership –
Merchant banker should posses all relevant skills, update knowledge to
interest with the clients and effectively communicate. Leadership is
synonymous with followers who follow the one who leads.
2. Aggressive active -
Aggressive is a personality trait of a good leader but in merchant
banking it has a wider connotation. Aggressive merchant bankers are always
looking for new business. Once a business opportunity has been located. The
merchant banker has got to obtain the mandate for the merchant banking
assignment from the clients at once which will depent upon his own
communication skills, persuasiveness and the background of the organization
to which hebelongs, a good merchant bankers is one who does not allow his
client to think anything ouside except what has been advised.
In the light of the above, the research study has been undertaken to study
about the various modernized services of the banks in the indian banking industry.
This study helps us to know what kind of services the banks offer to their customers.
2.10.1 Introduction :
A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a precise, testable statement of what
the researcher(s) predict will be the outcome of the study. It is stated at the start of the
study.
This usually involves proposing a possible relationship between two
variables: the independent variable (what the researcher changes) and the dependent
variable (what the research measures).
In research, there is a convention that the hypothesis is written in two
forms, the null hypothesis, and the alternative hypothesis (called the experimental
hypothesis when the method of investigation is an experiment).
A fundamental requirement of a hypothesis is that is can be tested against
reality, and can then be supported or rejected.
To test a hypothesis the researcher first assumes that there is no difference
between populations from which they are taken. This is known as the null hypothesis.
The research hypothesis is often called the alternative hypothesis .
2.10.2 There are two types of hypothesis
1. Alternative Hypothesis (H1):
The alternative hypothesis states that there is a relationship
between the two variables being studied (one variable has an effect on the other).
An experimental hypothesis predicts what change(s) will
take place in the dependent variable when the independent variable is manipulated.
It states that the results are not due to chance and that they
are significant in terms of supporting the theory being investigated.
The alternative hypothesis is a position that states
sometime is happening, a new theory is true instead of an old one (null hypothesis). It
is usually consistent with the research hypothesis because it is constructed from
literature review, previous studies, etc. however, the research hypothesis is sometimes
constent with the null hypothesis.
In statistics, alternative hypothesis is often denoted as H0 or
H1. Hypothesis are formulated to compare in a statistical hypothesis test.
In the domain of inferential statstics two rival hypothesis can
be compared by explanatory power and predictive power.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3. Shah (1995) –
conducted an empirical study on the data set of 2056 Indian IPOs
listed on the BSE from January 1991 to May 1995 with the objective to
examine the under pricing of IPOs and to establish the empirical regularities
about India’s IPO market. He examined six factors underlying under pricing,
namely asymmetric information between firms and investors, fixing the offer
price too early, the interest rate float, loss of liquidity on the amount paid at
issue date (liquidity premium), building loyal shareholders and merchant
bankers rewarding favoured clients as an incentive to under price. Empirical
study found that the average price on first listing day was 105.6% above the
offer size, average delay between issue dates and listing day was 11 weeks 36
and weekly excess return on market index (BSE Sensex) was 3.8%. The study
further found that correlation between the volume of IPOs under pricing and
the return on BSE Sensex was positive, under pricing among the smaller
issues was high, average long run trading frequency of IPO was lower than
‘A’ group companies and return on IPOs during the first 200 trading days was
more than market return.
4. Srivastava (1995) –
In his paper highlighted the need for efficient marketing of public
issues because of the transformation of new issue market from sellers’ market
to buyer dominated market as the geographical and demographical range of
investors has widened. According to him, the process of public issue
marketing starts with the selection of the issue by the merchant banker. Then
the merchant banker plays the role of a guide for the appointment of
underwriters, brokers and an expert advertising agency. The researcher has
listed the current practices in public issue marketing which include the
application of data base marketing research, direct approach to investors ( like
insurance, UTI ), seeking services of marketing experts as issue specialists,
branding the issues like mutual funds, and effective advertising through
extensive and intensive use of media. The author concluded that the future
dimensions of public issue marketing will include the after sale service to
investors and giving instant services of selling. Aggarwal (1995)5 traced the
origin, growth and history of merchant banking in India and abroad. The
objectives of the study included the analysis of organizational structure,
management pattern and performance evaluation of SEBI registered category I
merchant bankers during the period 1989- 90 to 1993-94. The study found that
merchant banking institutions lack skill development programmes for training
the staff, up to date information and more concentration of decision making
power. Despite this, the study highlighted the important role of merchant
bankers in the growth of capital market and mobilization of resources from
public through issue management activities. The author recommended for
stopping the turnover of personnel in merchant banking divisions of
nationalized banks due to transfers, who have up to date market information
and adopt professional attitude for providing services as merchant bankers.
5. Narta (1996) –
Conducted a research study to find out the growth of new issue
market and underwriting of capital issues in India, and to analyse the cost of
raising capital during the period 1970-71 to 1988-89. The study was based on
the secondary data. 37 The researcher found that after independence, a large
number of public financial institutions, investment institutions, merchant
banking divisions of commercial banks and investment consultancy agencies
were engaged in the underwriting operations of capital issues in India. The
researcher found that public financial institutions accounted for a larger
proportion in underwriting activities though their share declined from 63% in
1970- 71 to 22.64 % in 1986-87. The commercial banks showed an increase in
underwriting activities on account of opening of merchant banking divisions.
Development banks and GIC were found to prefer participation in the
underwriting of large issues. Stock brokers were more active in underwriting
during boom conditions while commercial banks were more selective to
underwrite the issues of their valued customers. The average cost of public
issues during the period of study was found to be ranging from 8% to 10% of
the amount offered to public. However, the cost of issues of existing
companies was higher as compared to IPOs because of aggressive campaign
for over subscription.
6. Aggarwal (1995) –
Traced the origin, growth and history of merchant banking
in India and abroad. The objectives of the study included the analysis of
organizational structure, management pattern and performance evaluation of
SEBI registered category I merchant bankers during the period 1989- 90 to
1993-94. The study found that merchant banking institutions lack skill
development programmes for training the staff, up to date information and
more concentration of decision making power. Despite this, the study
highlighted the important role of merchant bankers in the growth of capital
market and mobilization of resources from public through issue management
activities. The author recommended for stopping the turnover of personnel in
merchant banking divisions of nationalized banks due to transfers, who have
up to date market information and adopt professional attitude for providing
services as merchant bankers.
7. Kailani (1998) –
In her research work examined the marketing strategies and
performance of merchant bankers during the period 1990-91 to 1997-98. The
study was based upon 77 merchant bankers. The researcher evaluated the
performance of merchant bankers by taking into account of both qualitative
and quantitative dimensions. While qualitative factors included skill in issue
management and quality of personnel and services to the clients, the
quantitative factors included number and amount of public issue handled and
the activity profile of merchant bankers (fund based or non fund based). The
variables taken for quantitative evaluation included projected and actual sales,
profit before interest, depreciation and taxes, profit after tax and earnings per
share. The study found that the role of merchant bankers had become more
diverse after the setting up of SEBI. Post liberalization era up to 1995 saw a
number of small financial companies entering into merchant banking business
because of low entry barriers. Consequently, bad quality issues were sold in
large numbers. Further, high 38 concentration of merchant banking business
was found among the top ten merchant bankers and only six merchant bankers
provided all the post issue services. The author recommended for fixing the
responsibility for fulfillment of promises made in the prospectus, improving
the quality of disclosures in IPOs, need for grading the prospectus, mandatory
participation of merchant bankers in the project and rating of merchant
bankers.
8. Qumar (1998) –
Analyzed the non fund based financial services by the leading
public sector banks (PSBs) in the field of merchant banking for the period
1993-94 to 1997- 98. According to the author, the public sector banks entered
in merchant banking business on the recommendations of Banking
Commission 1972 and dilution of foreign equity of large number of foreign
companies operating in India. He analyzed the role played by public sector
banks in handling the number and amount of issues as lead manager, co
manager, underwriter, adviser, banker to issue and the project appraiser. The
author concluded that there should be reforms in the existing legal system
relating to financial services of PSBs, as frequent changes in guidelines had
adversely affected the financial services of PSBs. The author pointed out that
limited range of merchant banking activities, inferior quality of services and
lack of trained and skilled personnel were the reasons for declining trend in
the merchant banking business with public sector banks and suggested a close
touch with the economy and developments in capital market and more
competitive and technical bank officers for improvement in the merchant
banking services by banks.
9. Dr. R.L. Hydrabad and DR. SO. HALASAGI (2004) :
In their study that the merchant bankers primary function is
to assist the corporate the in mobilizing financial resources. This is the activity and
they are expected to generate core competency in this particular activity. However,
4.1 INTRODUCTION
State Bank of India (SBI) is an Indian multinational public
sector bank and financial services statutory body headquartered in Mumbai,
Maharashtra. SBI is the 43rd largest bank in the world and ranked 221st in
the Fortune Global 500 list of the world's biggest corporations of 2020, being the only
Indian bank on the list.[6] It is a public sector bank and the largest bank in India with a
23% market share by assets and a 25% share of the total loan and deposits market. [7] It
is also the fifth largest employer in India with nearly 250,000 employees.[8][9][10]
The bank descends from the Bank of Calcutta, founded in 1806 via the Imperial Bank
of India, making it the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Bank
of Madras merged into the other two presidency banks in British India, the Bank of
Calcutta and the Bank of Bombay, to form the Imperial Bank of India, which in turn
became the State Bank of India in 1955.[11] Overall the bank has been formed from
the merger and acquisition of nearly twenty banks over the course of its 200 year
history.[12][13] The Government of India took control of the Imperial Bank of India in
1955, with Reserve Bank of India (India's central bank) taking a 60% stake, renaming
it State Bank of India.
The roots of State Bank of India lie in the first decade of the 19th century
when the Bank of Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2
June 1806. The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two
being the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of
Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated
as joint stock companies and were the result of royal charters. These three banks
received the exclusive right to issue paper currency till 1861 when, with the Paper
Currency Act, the right was taken over by the Government of India. The Presidency
banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the re-organised banking entity took as
its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint-stock
company but without Government participation.
Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act of 1955, the Reserve Bank
of India, which is India's central bank, acquired a controlling interest in the Imperial
Bank of India. On 1 July 1955, the Imperial Bank of India became the State Bank of
India. In 2008, the Government of India acquired the Reserve Bank of India's stake in
SBI so as to remove any conflict of interest because the RBI is the country's banking
regulatory authority.
In 1959, the government passed the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act. This
made eight banks that had belonged to princely states into subsidiaries of SBI. This
was at the time of the First Five Year Plan, which prioritised the development of rural
India. The government integrated these banks into the State Bank of India system to
expand its rural outreach. In 1963 SBI merged State Bank of Jaipur (est. 1943) and
State Bank of Bikaner (est.1944).
SBI has acquired local banks in rescues. The first was the Bank of Bihar (est. 1911),
which SBI acquired in 1969, together with its 28 branches. The next year SBI
acquired National Bank of Lahore (est. 1942), which had 24 branches. Five years
later, in 1975, SBI acquired Krishnaram Baldeo Bank, which had been established in
1916 in Gwalior State, under the patronage of Maharaja Madho Rao Scindia. The
bank had been the Dukan Pichadi, a small moneylender, owned by the Maharaja. The
new bank's first manager was Jall N. Broacha, a Parsi. In 1985, SBI acquired the Bank
of Cochin in Kerala, which had 120 branches. SBI was the acquirer as its affiliate,
the State Bank of Travancore, already had an extensive network in Kerala.
There was, even before it actually happened, a proposal to merge all the associate
banks into SBI to create a single very large bank and streamline operations.[14]
The first step towards unification occurred on 13 August 2008 when State Bank of
Saurashtra merged with SBI, reducing the number of associate state banks from seven
to six. On 19 June 2009, the SBI board approved the absorption of State Bank of
Indore, in which SBI held 98.3%. (Individuals who held the shares prior to its
takeover by the government held the balance of 1.7%.)[15]
The acquisition of State Bank of Indore added 470 branches to SBI's existing network
of branches. Also, following the acquisition, SBI's total assets approached ₹10 trillion.
The total assets of SBI and the State Bank of Indore were ₹9,981,190 million as of
March 2009. The process of merging of State Bank of Indore was completed by April
2010, and the SBIndore branches started functioning as SBI branches on 26 August
2010.[16]
On 7 October 2013, Arundhati Bhattacharya became the first woman to be appointed
Chairperson of the bank.[17] Mrs. Bhattacharya received an extension of two years of
service to merge into SBI the five remaining associate banks.

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
INTRODUCTION :
5.1 MEANING OF DATA ANALYSIS :
It’s not uncommon to hear the term “big data” brought up in discussions
about data analysis. Data analysis plays a crucial role in processing big data into
useful information.
A huge part of a researcher’s job is to sift through data. That is literally the
definition of “research.” However, today’s Information Age routinely produces a tidal
wave of data, enough to overwhelm even the most dedicated researcher.
Data analysis, therefore, plays a key role in distilling this information into
a more accurate and relevant form, making it easier for researchers to do to their job.
So, to sum it up, data analysis offers researchers better data and better
ways to analyze and study said data.
Some professionals use the terms “data analysis methods” and “data
analysis techniques” interchangeably. To further complicate matters, sometimes
people throw in the previously discussed “data analysis types” into the fray as well!

and the various ways it’s used.
