INDUSTRY PROFILE BANK A bank is a business center that deals in financial services. A bank is a place where your money is safe-locked and a secure place to dispose off your earnings. Banking service in general includes receiving deposit money, lending money and processing transactions. The history of origination of bank goes back a long way. Since then, banks have influenced the economy of countries. India has a number of both government undertaken banks as well as private ones.

Meaning of Banking: A bank is an institution which deals in money and credit. Thus, bank is an intermediary which handles other people’s money both for their advantage and to its own profit. But bank is not merely a trader in money but also an important manufacturer of money. In other words, a bank is a factory of credit.

Definition of Banking: According to Section 5(1)(b), “Banking means accepting for the purpose of lending or investing, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheques, draft, and order or otherwise”.

Definition of Banking Company: Section 5(1)(c), defines banking company as, “Any company which transacts the business of banking in India”.

ORGANISATION STUDY Features of Banking: The following are the basic characteristics of Banking:  Dealing in Money: The banks accept deposits from the public and advancing them as loans to the needy people. The deposits may be different types –current, fixed, savings, etc. accounts. The deposits are accepted on various terms and conditions.  Deposits must be withdrawable: The deposits made by the public can be withdrawable by cheques, draft or otherwise, i.e., bank issue and pay cheques. The deposits are usually withdrawable on demand.  Dealing with credit: The bank are the institutions that can create credit i.e., creation of additional money for lending. Thus, “creation of credit” is the unique feature of banking.  Commercial in nature: Since all the banking functions are carried on with the aim of making profit, it is regarded as a commercial institution.  Nature of agent: Besides the basic functions of accepting deposits and lending money as loans, bank possesses the character of an agent because of its various agency services.

ORGANISATION STUDY

Banking in India Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The General Bank of India coming 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 Indian Banking industry, which is governed by the Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 can be broadly classified into two major categories, non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banks comprise commercial banks and the co-operative 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 (the old/ new domestic and foreign). These banks have over 67,000 branches spread across the country.

ORGANISATION STUDY Stages of development of Banks in India • Early history • During the wars • Post independence • Nationalisation • Leberalisation • Current scenario

Early history 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 Americas. 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 India 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 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 PRASHANTHA SHETTY K, B.

ORGANISATION STUDY 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 exchange 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 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.

Lord Curzon had observed then in the context of Indian banking: "In respect of banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome compartments."

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 Sdyndicate Bank and Canara Bank.

During the Wars The period during the First World War (1914-1918) through the end of the Second World War (1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India were challenging for the Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent, and it took toll of many banks which simply collapsed despite the Indian economy gaining indirect

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 major 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.

ORGANISATION STUDY •

In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) "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 licence 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.

Nationalisation 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 banks –altogether there are 20 nationalized banks. These are in addition to the State Bank of India and its associate banks –commonly called the State Bank of India Group –which were taken over in 1955.

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 is given in Table No. 02.

Liberalisation In the early 1990s the then Narasimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalisation and gave licences 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, kickstarted the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid growth with strong contribution from all

ORGANISATION STUDY 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 (2007), 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 and transparent balance sheets-as compared to other banks 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 time-especially in its services sector, the demand for banking PRASHANTHA SHETTY K, B. B. M. FINAL YEAR REG. NO. 050080049 BHANDARKARS’ ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE, KUNDAPURA

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; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) 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 (PSBs), which are the foundation of the Indian Banking system account for more than 78 per cent of total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are burdened with excessive Non Performing assets (NPAs), 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 (VRS). 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.

ORGANISATION STUDY

Indian Banking Structure: The banking system in India can be broadly divided into three categories, viz. the central bank of the country known as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the commercial banks and the co –operative banks. The Reserve Bank of India is the supreme monetary and banking authority in the country and has the responsibility to control the banking system in the country. It keeps the reserves of all scheduled banks and hence is known as the “Reserve Bank”. Below figure shows the structure of Indian banking.

Scheduled and Non –Scheduled Banks: Under the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, banks were classified as scheduled banks and non –scheduled banks. The scheduled banks are those which are entered in the Second Schedule of RBI Act, 1934. Such banks are those which have a paid –up capital and reserves of an aggregate value of not less than Rs. 5 lakhs and which satisfy RBI that their affairs are carried out in the interests of their depositors. All commercial banks –Indian and foreign, regional rural banks and State co –operative banks –are scheduled banks. Non –Scheduled banks are those which have not been include in the Second Schedule of RBI Act, 1934.

At present, there are only three non –scheduled banks in the country.

Scheduled banks are divided into Commercial Banks and Co –operative Banks. Commercial banks are based on profit, while co –operative banks are based on co –operative principle.

Commercial banks have been in existence for many decades. They mobilize savings in urban areas and make them available to large and PRASHANTHA SHETTY K, B. B. M. FINAL YEAR REG. NO. 050080049 BHANDARKARS’ ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE, KUNDAPURA

ORGANISATION STUDY small industrial and trading units mainly for working capital requirements. After 1969 commercial banks are broadly classified into nationalized or public sector banks and private sector banks. The State Bank of India and its Associates banks along with another 20 banks are the public sector banks. The private sector banks include a small number of Indian scheduled banks which have not been nationalized and branches of foreign banks operating in India –commonly known as foreign exchange banks.

The Regional Rural Banks (RRB’s) came into existence since the middle of 1970s with the specific objective of providing credit and deposit facilities particularly to the small an marginal farmers, agricultural laborers and artisans and small entrepreneurs. The Regional Rural Banks have the responsibility to develop agriculture, trade, commerce and industry in the rural areas. The RRB’s are essentially commercial banks but their area of operation is limited to a district.

COMPANY PROFILE Brief History

Syndicate Bank was established in 1925 in Udupi, the abode of Lord Krishna in coastal Karnataka with a capital of Rs.8000/- by three visionaries - Sri Upendra Ananth Pai, a businessman, Sri Vaman Kudva, an engineer and Dr.T M A Pai, a physician - who shared a strong commitment to social welfare. Their objective was primarily to extend financial assistance to the local weavers who were crippled by a crisis in the handloom industry through mobilising small savings from the community. The bank collected as low as 2 annas daily at the doorsteps of the depositors through its Agents under its Pigmy Deposit Scheme started in 1928. This scheme is the Bank's brand equity today and the Bank collects around Rs. 2 crore per day under the scheme.

ORGANISATION STUDY The first branch of the bank started its operations in the year 1928 at Brahmavar in Dakshin Kannada District. By 1937, it had secured its membership as a clearing house at Mumbai. The primary objective of the business was to extended financial assistance to local weavers. Initially, the bank collected as low as two annas from the door steps of the depositors daily through its agents. This type of system wherein the agents of the bank come doorsteps to collect deposit is still prevailing in India and is referred to as the Pigmy Deposit Scheme.

As time progressed, twenty banks merged with the Canara Industrial and Banking Syndicate Limited including the Maharastra Apex Bank Limited and Southern India Apex Bank Limited. The name of the bank was changed to Syndicate Bank Limited in the year 1964 and the head office of the bank was shifted to Manipal. The bank expanded its operations not only on the domestic front but also overseas. It took over Al Shabei Finance and Exchange Co. in Doha (1983) and Musandam Exchange Co. in Muscat (1984). By 1978, it opened its 1000th branch at Hauz Khas, Delhi. Currently it has over 2125 branches out of which 1523 are offering corebanking-e-banking

As Housing loans comes under Priority sector lending, the feature of housing loan given by different nationalized banks are similar.

These banks charging interest to their Housing loan products even less then their Prime Lending Rate When we compare the housing loans of two nationalised banks i.e.

Syndicate bank and Vijaya bank we find lot of similarities in Purpose of lending, Eligibility, Quantum of loan, Security, Rate of interest, and Repayment is concerned.

As for as difference is concerned The difference between these two policy is minor, like in case of renovation of house syndicate bank give loan only for the period 25 years where as Vijaya bank it is 30 years In case of eligibility of housing loan for salaried class of customer should complete at least 5 years of service But such restriction is not

Know your customer: The important duty of a manager is to know his customer there are many systematical techniques and process to know the real identification of the customers. This is done mainly to avoid anti-laundering.

This is mainly done to make sure that repayment of the amount is ensured and party won’t become bankrupt. In case of personal loan evaluation of the person is done through other person who is known to the banker.

Sanctioning Sanctioning is not actual giving of loan that is the amount to be paid is promised .the party in need of it is capable of withdrawing the amount not more then the amount sanctioned to him.

Documentation: The documentation deals with filling of forms that are in contractual form and most of the documentation process could be seen in all the stage. It also deals with submission of security for their loan and its formalities.

Transfer to his account: The party which is borrowing loan from bank need to have an account in that bank, if not the banker will create an account for this purpose. And PRASHANTHA SHETTY K, B. B. M. FINAL YEAR REG. NO. 050080049 BHANDARKARS’ ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE, KUNDAPURA

ORGANISATION STUDY This is the work flow adopted by the bank at the time of receiving the deposits from their customers.

The first step in this process is customer approaching the bank. When the customers will have surplus money with them, they will be looking to invest that money in some place where they can get good returns out of it.

Bank is one such place which accepts deposits from their customers and pays interest on them. So the customers will be looking for that bank which will pay them highest rate of interest on their deposits. Once the customer identifies the bank where he is going to deposit his amount, he has to go through the introduction stage, were the customer needs to be introduced to the bank.

He may be introduced to the bank by the

customer or an employee of this bank. He is asked for providing documents like Ration card or any license for address, age & income proof. Once the account is opened (i.e. Either S.B a/c, fixed deposits, recurring deposits or current a/c) he/she will provide with facilities like Cheque book, ATM or O.D if it’s a current a/c. Once the customer opens an account in the bank he can deposit any amount any number of times but in case of fixed deposit its one lump some amount deposited till its maturity it is not withdrawn. When amount is deposited it goes to the hands of cashier and then to cash supervisor and then to his account, but now due to CBS in a minute we give to cashier its transferred to customers a/c. The depositors are eligible to withdraw the amount which is credited in their account and not more than that unless it is current account. Depositors can withdraw as an when they need but in case of fixed deposits prior 7 days notice to be given but today’s banker will not ask for any notice just give it in the spot with penalty. The process of withdrawal is reverse of depositing where from his account it goes to cash supervisor from him to cashier finally to the hands of customer, again traditional work flow. Now all are computerized where in one person PRASHANTHA SHETTY K, B. B. M. FINAL YEAR REG. NO. 050080049 BHANDARKARS’ ARTS & SCIENCE COLLEGE, KUNDAPURA

ORGANISATION STUDY

MCKINSEY’S 7S FRAMEWORK Introduction: The Seven –S model was developed by McKinsey’s is an important part of the organization. The two persons who developed this model were Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, who were consultants at the McKinsey’s. They had published their 7S models in their respective articles named, “The Art of Japanese Management (1981)” and “In Search of Excellence (1982)”.

McKinsey’s & Co’s 7S framework provides a useful framework for analyzing the strategic attributes of an organization. The model starts on the premises that each and every organization is not just a structure as it consists of seven important elements. Strategy, Structure and Systems can be considered as “Hardware” of success while Style, Staff, Skills and Shared Values are considered as the “Software”. Companies, in which these soft elements are present, are usually more successful at the implantation of the strategy. The McKensy’s framework is shown in the figure.

Soft Ss: The four Ss across the button of the model are less tangible, more cultural in nature and were termed as Soft Ss by McKinsey.

1). Skills: The capabilities and competencies that exist within the company are termed as skills.

2). Shared Values: The values and beliefs of the company. Ultimately they guide employees towards “Valued Behavior”.

3). Staff: The company’s people resources and how they are developed, trained and motivated.

5). Strategy: The direction and scope of the company over the long term is known as strategy.

6). Structure: The basic organization of the company, its departments reporting lines, areas of expertise and responsibility (and how they inter – relate).

7). Systems: These are formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering everything from management information systems, through the systems at the point of contact with the customer (retail systems, call center systems, online systems, etc.).

SWOT ANALYSIS SWOT Analysis refers to the strength and weakness of the company and opportunities and threats in the environment. The investor should carry out a SWOT analysis for the chosen industry. Take for instance, increase in demand for the industry’s product becomes its strength, presence of numerous players in the market, i.e. competition becomes the threat to a particular industry. The progress in the research and development in that particular industry is an opportunity and entry of multinationals in the industry becomes the threat to that industry.

A SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture or in any other situation requiring a decision.

The required first step in SWOT analysis is the definition of the desired end state or objective. The definition of objective must be explicit and approved by all participants in the process. This first step must be performed carefully because failure to identify correctly the end state aimed for leads to wasted resources and possibly failure of the enterprise.

Once the objective has been identified, SWOTs are discovered and listed.

SWOTs are defined precisely as follows:

ORGANISATION STUDY  It is well equipped to meet the challenges of 21 st century, in the areas of IT, Knowledge and competition.  It has launched Centralized Banking Solution (CBS) which covers 75% of the total business.

Weakness of Syndicate Bank: •

The bank has implemented Core Banking Solution (CBS) by networking 1529 branches spread across over 2120 Branches covering over 75% of the Bank’s business, which need to cover all the branches so as to cover 100% of the bank’s business.

•

IT Policy and Strategy implementation by the bank has not been covered to all the branches. Some of the facilities provided by the Syndicate Bank like ATM, Credit Card, Debit Card are with in a particular geographic area, which need to be expanded.

•

The bank has only a single branch at London; more number of branches must be developed, not only in India but also abroad.

•

The large portion of their existing employees in the edge of retirement, this may create a problem in the future.

Opportunity for Syndicate Bank: The Central Banking Solution (CBS) has to be implemented in every branch, so as to improve its business activity. More opportunity is there for the bank if it implements all its branches totally with computerized and the business may spread across the world if it diversifies some of the branches in various countries. The bank continues to identify new areas and activities that require attention, as well as the risk management skills, processes, and practices that need to be developed and strengthened.

ORGANISATION STUDY The bank is planning to adopt best international practices in Credit Risk Management and Basel II implementation by outsourcing end to end solution viz., on –line appraisal system, risk assessment, risk inputs estimates, capital computation and RAROC framework. The Bank is also in process of engaging reputed consultant to design and implement Operational Risk Management Framework.

Threats for Syndicate Bank: In this technological and fast growing world the greatest threat for the bank is to compete with other public sector banks, private banks and also foreign banks. Syndicate bank has to prove that it’s unique in providing various products and services to its customers. This is possible by continuous improvement and adopting technological advancements.

Government policies may go strict. More and more government policies make the company follow the rules which ultimately affect the company revenues.  Intense competition in the market.  Market share redistribution.  Market place is becoming smarter.

Conclusion: It is not simply enough to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a company. In applying the SWOT analysis it is necessary to minimize or avoid both weaknesses and threats.

Weaknesses should be looked at in order to convert them into strengths.

Likewise, threats should be converted into opportunities. Lastly, strengths and opportunities should be matched to optimize the potential of a firm.

Applying SWOT in this fashion can obtain leverage for a company.

Ratio analysis Ratio analysis is the mostly widely used method for the analysis of financial statement. A financial ratio is a ratio of selected values on a enterprise's financial statements. There are many standard ratios used to evaluate the overall financial condition of a corporation or other organization. Financial ratios are used by managers within a firm, by current and potential stockholders (owners) of a firm, and by a firm's creditors. Security analysts use financial ratios to compare the strengths and weaknesses in various companies. If shares in a company are traded in a financial market, the market price of the shares is used in certain financial ratios.

Values used in calculating financial ratios are taken from the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and (rarely) statement of retained earnings. These comprise the firm's "accounting statements" or financial statements.

The important ratios are as under,  Return on Assets  Earnings Per Share  Profit Margin ratio  Interest Expended Ratio.

Interpretation: The analysis shows that return on assets in the year 2006 is highest i.e .88%. But in the year 2007 it has been reduced to .80%, this is due to underutilization of the assets of the bank. In other words assets of the bank are not employed where optimum returns can be earned.
