CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION GENERAL INTRODUCTION BANKING Banking, the business of providing financial services to consumers and businesses. The basic services a bank provides are checking accounts, savings accounts and time deposits that can be used to save money for future use; loans that consumers and businesses can use to purchase goods and services; and basic cash management services such as check cashing and foreign currency exchange. TYPES Four types of banks specialize in offering these basic banking services: 1) commercial banks, 2) savings and loan associations, 3) savings banks, and 4) credit unions. A broader definition of a bank is any financial institution that receives, collects, transfers, pays, exchanges, lends, invests, or safeguards money for its customers. This broader definition includes many other financial institutions that are not usually thought of as banks . These institutions include finance companies, investment companies, investment banks, insurance companies,

1

pension funds, security brokers and dealers, mortgage companies, and real estate investment trusts. PURPOSE Banking services serve two primary purposes. First, by supplying customers with the basic mediums-of-exchange (cash, checking accounts, and credit cards), Second, by accepting money deposits from savers and then lending the money to borrowers, banks encourage the flow of money to productive use and investments. This in turn allows the economy to grow. Enabling the flow of money from savers to investors is called financial intermediation, and it is extremely important to a free market economy.

INDUSTRY PROFILE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY Banking in India Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The General Bank of India came into existence in 1786. This was followed by Bank of Hindustan. Both these banks are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India being established as "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. A couple of decades later, foreign banks like Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At that point of time, Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of the British Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered. The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, which was established in 1865.

By the 1900s, the market expanded with the 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 the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers.

The banking 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 4

India, upon India's independence, was renamed the State Bank of India. 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 under capitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the 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, and Canara Bank

GROWTH AND PRESENT STATUS OF THE INDUSTRY

By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has emerged as a large employer, and a debate has ensued about the possibility to nationalize the banking industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the intention of the GOI in the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalisation." The paper was received with positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued an ordinance and nationalised the 14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969. Jayaprakash Narayan, a national leader of India, described the step as a "masterstroke of political sagacity." Within two weeks of the issue of the ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies (Acquition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it received the presidential approval on 9th August, 1969.

A second dose of nationalisation of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated reason for the nationalisation was to give the government more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of nationalisation, the GOI controlled around 91% of the banking business of India.

After this, until the 1990s, the nationalised banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the average growth rate of the Indian economy.

6

Liberalisation In the early 1990s the then Narasimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalisation and gave licenses to a small number of private banks, which came to be known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as UTI Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move along with the rapid growth in the economy of India, kick started the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely, government banks, private banks and foreign banks. The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation in the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may be given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%,at present it has gone up to 49% with some restrictions. The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time, were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%; Lend at 6%; Go home at 4) of functioning. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods of working for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just demanded more from their banks but also received more. Current scenario Currently (2008), 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 assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong

7

and transparent balance sheets-as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region.

Indian economy is expected to be strong for long time-especially in its services sector. The demand for banking services-especially retail banking, home loans and investment services are expected to be strong.

In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank.

Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 28 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not have government stake) and 31 foreign banks.

They have a combined network of over 55,000 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.

FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

A healthy banking system is essential for any economy striving to achieve good growth and yet remain stable in an increasingly global business environment. The Indian banking system, with one of the largest banking networks in the world, has witnessed a series of reforms over the past few years like the deregulation of interest rates, dilution of the government stake in public sector banks (PSBs), and the increased participation of private sector banks. The growth of the retail financial services sector has been a key development on the market front. Indian banks (both public and private) have not only been keen to tap the domestic market but also to compete in the global market place. New foreign banks have been equally keen to gain a foothold in the Indian market. The momentum in credit growth has been maintained during 2005-06 due to two factors: The corporate sector has stepped up its demand for credit to fund its expansion plans; there has also been a growth in retail banking. However, even as the opportunities increase, there are some issues and challenges that Indian banks will have to contend with if they are to emerge successful in the medium to long term. This report discusses these issues and challenges -- both intrinsic and external, such as Risk management and Basel II The future of banking will undoubtedly rest on risk management dynamics. Only those banks that have efficient risk management system will survive in the market in the long run. The effective management of credit risk is a critical 10

component of comprehensive risk management essential for long-term success of a banking institution. Although capital serves the purpose of meeting unexpected losses, capital is not a substitute for inadequate decontrol or risk management systems. Coming years will witness banks striving to create sound internal control or risk management processes. With the focus on regulation and risk management in the Basel II framework gaining prominence, the post-Basel II era will belong to the banks that manage their risks effectively. The banks with proper risk management systems would not only gain competitive advantage by way of lower regulatory capital charge, but would also add value to the shareholders and other stakeholders by properly pricing their services, adequate provisioning and maintaining a robust financial structure. ‘The future belongs to bigger banks alone, as well as to those which have minimised their risks considerably.’ Consolidation Consolidation, which has been on the counter over the last year or so, is likely to gather momentum in the coming years. Post April 2009, when the restrictions on operations of foreign banks will go, the banking landscape is expected to change dramatically. Foreign banks, which currently account for 5% of total deposits and 8% of total advances, are devising new business models to capture the Indian market. Their full-fledged entry is expected to transform the business of banking 11

in many ways, which would be reflected in terms of greater breadth of products, depth in delivery channels and efficiency in operations. Thus Indian banks have less than three years to consolidate their position. Despite the stiff resistance from certain segments, consolidation holds the key to future growth. This view is underpinned by the following: ► Owing to greater scale and size, consolidation can help save costs and improve operational efficiency. ► Banks will also have to explore different avenues for raising capital to meet norms under Basel-II ► Owing to the diversified operations and credit profiles of merging banks, consolidation is likely to serve as a risk-mitigation exercise as much as a growth engine. Though there is no confirmation yet, speculative signals arising from the market point to the prospect of consolidation involving banks such as Union Bank of India, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Dena Bank, State Bank of Patiala, and Punjab and Sind Bank. Further, the case for merger between stronger banks has also gained ground — a clear deviation from the past when only weak banks were thrust on stronger banks. There is a case being made for mergers between banks with a distinct geographical presence coming together to leverage their respective strengths.

12

GLOBALIZATION/ OVERSEAS EXPANSION Growing integration of economies and the markets around the world is making global banking a reality. The surge in globalization of finance has already begun to gain momentum with the technological advancements which have effectively overcome the national borders in the financial services business. Widespread use of internet banking will widen frontiers of global banking, and make marketing of financial products and services on a global basis possible. In the coming years globalization will spread further on account of the likely opening up of financial services under WTO. India is one of the 104 signatories of Financial Services Agreement (FSA) of 1997. This gives India’s financial sector including banks an opportunity to expand their business on a quid pro quo basis. As per Indian Banks' Association report ‘Banking Industry Vision 2010’, there would be greater presence of international players in Indian financial system and some of the Indian banks would become global players in the coming years. So, the new mantra for Indian banks is to go global in search of new markets, customers and profits. TECHNOLOGY There is an imperative need for not mere technology upgradation but also its integration with the general way of functioning of banks to give them an edge in respect of services provided to their constituents, better housekeeping, optimizing the use of funds and building up of MIS for decision making, better management of assets & liabilities and the risks assumed which in turn have a 13

direct impact on the balance sheets of banks as a whole. Technology has demonstrated potential to change methods of marketing, advertising, designing, pricing and distributing financial products and services and cost savings in the form of an electronic, self-service product delivery channel. These challenges call for a new, more dynamic, aggressive and challenging work culture to meet the demands of customer relationships, product differentiation, brand values, reputation, corporate governance and regulatory prescriptions. Technology holds the key to the future success of Indian Banks. Internet, wireless technology and global straight-through processing have created a paradigm shift in the banking industry. The explosive growth of both the Internet and mobile and wireless technology is revolutionizing the way the financial industry conducts business. The overall wireless technology market is expected to grow profoundly in the coming years. REGULATIONS The RBI's approval for banks to raise funds abroad through innovative capital instruments holds great significance. Such fund-raising, which includes preference shares, will, however, not just substitute equity; it could have unintended consequences on the strategies of banks and their profitability. While the cost of raising monies through such instruments is likely to be higher (close to 10 per cent), the consequent higher leverage on equity funds is likely to result in expansion of return on net worth. This is because the same amount of capital supports

a

higher

volume

of

business,

generating

higher

profits.

Banks are likely to be able to raise long-term preference shares at coupon rates 14

between six per cent and eight per cent. The positive impact on bank profitability could thus be significant. Preference capital can be used as the currency for acquisition. The advantage for public sector banks is that they no longer need to bother about government stake falling below 51 per cent. Banks such as Dena Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and Andhra Bank are most likely to benefit from this move. SKILLED MANPOWER There will be a sea change for employees too. Secure jobs will be replaced by contractual appointments, for a specified period of time. The unions will merge into the shadows and bank managements will turn effective. As a result there will be swifter turn over of personnel in banks. But at the same time, skilled personnel from other disciplines will enter banks in increasing numbers. Factors like skills, attitudes and knowledge of the human capital play a crucial role in determining the competitiveness of the financial sector. The quality of human resources indicates the ability of banks to deliver value to customers. Capital and technology are replicable but not the human capital which needs to be valued as a highly valuable resource for achieving that competitive edge.

Business model, which comprises a comprehensive range of business solutions delivered through a unique balance of portfolio and relationship management must be incorporated.

The bank was nationalized in 1969 along with 13 other banks. Subsequently, in 1993 it took over the New Bank of India, another bank that was nationalized in 1980. In 2003 the Nedungadi Bank Ltd., a south based private sector bank also merged the bank. Thus the bank, which previously had its main business area around the Indo-Gangetic belt and major metros, could ensure its remarkable presence in the entire country.

Today, PNB operates 4,070 branches and 443 service counters across the country, consolidating its position as one of the top nationalized banks of India. PNB has been ranked at395Th position amongst the top 1000 global banks by the prestigious international publication The Banker.

Like other scheduled banks in India, the PNB also comes under the guidance of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and as a government establishment, it has to follow directions of the government. Two directives, one from the Reserve Bank of India and the other from India’s Department of Official languages are key in this context. In 1985, the Department of Official Languages mandated that all electronic equipment used in ministries and departments of the government and their attached and subordinate offices would need to be bilingual. That is, they should be able to handle both Hindi and English. By the year 2000, the Reserve Bank of India had mandated that banks should have a clear IT plan that should be implemented: that at least 7O percent of all branches should be computerized.

With technology emerging as a key driver of business growth, the bank has taken a number of IT initiatives to provide its large clientele spread all across the country with the best of technology while retaining the all- essential human warmth. Its core banking system (CBS) already acts as a single data bank, a backbone to 2,108 service outlets with internet banking services spread over 28 33

states in the country. This deployment has lent PNB the status of being the largest core banking system in Asia.

The bank has 676 ATMs and also coordinates with the MITR group of six banks with 2,200 ATMs. PNB is a member of Institute Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT)-sponsored National Financial Switch (NFS) for mutual ATM transactions. NFS at present has 18 banks and a pool of 6,197 ATMs. PNB has also pioneered the cheque truncation system in India. Other software fuelling the systems are instant fund transfer mechanism, data warehouse for decision control and MIS and risk management software based on Basel II guidelines set by the Bank for International Settlements.

About 77 percent of its business is connected through leased lines, ISDN and VPN. Other services such as mobile banking utility bill payments, funds transfer, e-commerce and CRM through mobile shall be introduced for the PNB branches including setting up a network operating centre (NOC) to monitor the CBS network.

RELATIVE PERFORMANCE

⇒ Spreads: PNB has the best margins in the banking sector. ⇒ Return Parameters: On both the return parameters i.e. return on average asset and return on average networth, PNB is close to the average of the peer set. 34

⇒ Asset Quality: PNB’s asset quality as measured by the net NPA ratio is on the higher side. It is just better than the largest scheduled commercial bank i.e. SBI. ⇒ Coverage Ratio: The provision coverage ratio third best after HDFC Bank and OBC in our set of banks. ⇒ Operating Efficiency: PNB’s cost to income ratio is higher than the average of the peer set. However, we believe that once the technological platforms are put in place, the bank will be able to bridge the gap with the numero uno in this regard. CHART FOR RELATIVE PERFORMANCE OF BANKS2

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS SUMMARY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE While working in Punjab National Bank’s 1st Micro Branch of India I got in-depth knowledge about Micro finance. I recognize that there is a lot more to discover and learn, I learned to be more responsible, have more patience and most important it helped me to learn how to handle the work pressure.

I got to know what all different types of question can be asked by a banking customer, as the branch was in the village area with population of 2 lakh peoples where there was no other bank’s branch, it was difficult to handle minimum 500700 per day with the queries like : ℵ What’s the procedure to open an account? ℵ What’s the procedure to get an ATM card? ℵ What’s the procedure to get a pass book? ℵ What’s the procedure to get a cheque book? ℵ How to fill ATM form? ℵ How to fill all other different forms like cheque clearance form, cash deposit form, cash withdrawal form, etc.? Besides the query solution I also filled up the form for the illiterate and old peoples and helping them for their requirements. Apart from customer service I got to know about the micro finance and the procedure and all document required for it and types of people who can get the micro loan. 42

OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

It has been observed that to put a new organization into a running position is much more difficult than to handle a already working organization, manager’s task is difficult in a banking industry he is the person who is completely liable for the working of branch. To put a right person at a right job is not an easy task for the manager.

I observed some of the factors in my branch such as: ϒ Lack of staff ϒ lack of Efficient staff ϒ Brach working space ϒ lack of speed ϒ Lack of quality service ϒ Complicated work procedure ϒ Not providing service on time

Beside all these factors the branch has also achieved some achievements such as 12000 accounts in 2 days and distribute micro loan of around 5 crore rupees to different 55 Self Help Groups to start their small businesses.

43

Opening of 1st Micro branch in India is also a achievement and it is a starting of new type of banking revolution which can change the life of villagers which depends on the “MAHAJAN” to lend them money at high interest rate.

Recommendations:-

With the changing banking system, this branch has also to adapt the new ways of banking such as:

ψ Shifting new and young staff to this branch ψ Give them good incentives so that they stay their for longer time period as per the location

ψ Complicated form should be replace with easy forms ψ Provide easy norms for new account opening. ψ Well trained staff be placed to increase work pace and to decrease per transaction time also.

ψ Local people should be appointed to handle the customers.
