Warm regards, Achal Kumar Gupta Managing Director Annual Report 2008-09 1 MAGNUM TAXGAIN SCHEME REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SBI MUTUAL FUND TRUSTEE COMPANY PRIVATE LIMITED FOR THE YEAR 2008-09 The Directors of SBI Mutual Fund Trustee Company Private Limited have pleasure in presenting the Audited Accounts in respect of the schemes of SBI Mutual Fund for the year ended 31st March 2009. The scheme wise financial statements for the year 2008-09, are enclosed with the report of the auditors. The significant accounting policies through which the financial statements of the schemes are drawn up and the explanatory notes to accounts of each of the schemes are also attached. The financial statements have been prepared as per the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations 1996, in the manner required and exhibit true and fair view of the operating results. THE ECONOMY The Indian economy managed 6.7 per cent economic growth in 2008-09 despite the manufacturing sector recording a dismal performance. A 5.8 per cent growth rate during the last quarter of the fiscal, at a time when most developed economies have shrunk, puts India among the top-most growing nations. The growth rate during 2008-09 is lower than the nine per cent in the preceding fiscal, but not as low as expected by certain analysts and quite in the range projected by the RBI: 6.5-7 per cent. However, manufacturing growth turned negative at 1.4 per cent in the fourth quarter, pulling down Q4 GDP growth to 5.8 per cent from 8.6 per cent during the corresponding period of the previous year. GDP growth in the third quarter of 2008-09 has been revised to 5.8 per cent from 5.3 per cent estimated provisionally. Agriculture posted 1.6 per cent growth in 2008-09 against 4.9 per cent in 2007-08, even as it bettered performance in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal to 2.7 per cent against 2.2 per cent in the same period in the previous fiscal. The Central Statistical Organisation had pegged GDP growth at 7.1 per cent for 2008-09 in its advance estimates. The downward revision in the GDP growth rate is mainly on account of lower than anticipated performance in almost all the sectors excluding construction and community, social and personal services. CAPITAL MARKETS 2008-09 was a difficult year for the stock markets worldwide. The global financial crisis, which began in 2007 took a turn for the worse in September 2008, with the collapse of several international financial institutions, including investment banks, mortgage lenders and insurance companies leading to a global crash in stock markets. The slowdown intensified with the US, Europe and Japan sliding into recession. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) Sensex fell from 15,644 as at the end of March 2008 to 9,708 as at the end of March, 2009, while the National Stock Exchange (NSE) index Nifty 50 fell from 4,735 to 3,021 during the same period. The markets ramined volatile throughout the year. However, towards the end of the year, the negative sentiment prevailing globally seemed to be waning with investors expecting that low interest rates, stimulus plans and banking bail-outs would lead to a recovery in the world economy. In India, the economy seemed to be getting back into a growth path with major sectors such as cement, steel, automobiles and tourism showing recovery. The year saw negative FII flows, with net sales of equities worth USD 11.8 bn (Previous Year USD 12.9 bn). The domestic mutual funds, however, net bought equities worth Rs. 6,984 crore (Previous Year Rs 13,685 crore) during the year. MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY During the year, the following important developments took place in the Mutual Fund Industry: a) The filing fee & Registration fee payable by mutual funds were revised. b) SEBI enhanced the aggregate ceiling for overseas investment to US $ 7 billion. c) Notification on Real Estate Mutual Fund Schemes and Initial Issue Expenses was issued. d) The formats of Standard Offer Document and Key Information Memorandum were revised. e) Existing mutual fund schemes were allowed to engage in short selling of securities as well as lending and borrowing of securities after making additional disclosures including risk factors in the Scheme Information Document. f) SEBI clarified that the SEBI circular no. SEBI/IMD/CIR No.1/91171/07 dated April 16, 2007 shall not apply to term deposits placed as margins for trading in cash and derivatives market. g) E-mailing of Abridged Scheme-wise Annual Reports was permitted, if so mandated. h) Valuation procedure of Debt securities was revised. i) In respect of purchase of units in Income/ Debt oriented schemes (other than liquid fund schemes and plans) with amount equal to or more than Rs. 1 crore, irrespective of the time of receipt of application, the closing NAV of the day on which the funds are available for utilization was made applicable. j) In case of Close Ended Schemes (except Equity Linked Savings Schemes) to be launched on or after December 12, 2008, (i) Mandatory listing was introduced; (ii) Listing fee was made a permissible expense to be charged under Regulation 52(4); (iii) Trustees are to ensure that before launch of the scheme the in-principle approval for listing has been obtained from the stock exchange(s) and appropriate disclosures are made in the Scheme Information Document; (iv) NAV to be computed and published on daily basis; (v) Close ended debt scheme shall invest only in such securities which mature on or before the date of the maturity of the scheme. k) In case of liquid schemes, the tenure of the securities held in the portfolio from the one year was reduced and SEBI directed to discontinue the nomenclature of “Liquid Plus Scheme” since it gives a wrong impression of added liquidity. l) SEBI also decided that the Mutual Funds shall not offer/communicate any indicative portfolio and indicative yield. m) Monthly Portfolio disclosure norms were introduced for debt oriented close-ended and interval schemes/plans. During the year, the total resources mobilised by the mutual fund industry stood at Rs 54,26,353 crore (Previous year Rs. 44,64,376 crore) while the total repurchase/redemption amount was Rs. 54,54,649 crore (Previous year Rs.

  • Unit 1. Evolution of Banking
    DNYANSAGAR ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE, BALEWADI, PUNE – 45 Subject – Banking And Finance - I (115 B) Class: FYB.COM (2019 Pattern) Unit 1. Evolution of Banking Introduction Money in the Economy is like blood in the human body”. The flow of money in the economy determines the characteristics of any economy. Robust money and capital markets are essentials for a developed economy. The short term and long term needs of money of individuals and institutions can be efficiently met by financial intermediaries. Pooling of scanty deposits into a large capital base and lending it to the desirable sectors is the core of banking business. In a developing economy like India, the role of banking sector becomes even more critical. In the initial years of economic development, when other sophisticated financial institutions were not present, banks were the only financial intermediaries which helped in bring about the change. The sense of confidence in the ethical functioning of financial intermediaries, in the minds of common man, was brought about by well-regulated commercial banks. The word ‘bank’ is of Germanic origin though some persons trace its origin to the French word ‘Banqui’ and the Italian word ‘Banca’. It referred to a bench for keeping, lending, and exchanging of money or coins in the market place by money lenders and money changers. According to Banking Regulation Act, 1949 of India, “Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawable by cheque, draft, and an order or otherwise”. A bank is a financial institution which deals with deposits and advances and other related services.

  • Banks: Evolution, 1 Types & Functions
    BANKS: EVOLUTION, 1 TYPES & FUNCTIONS BANK: DEFINITION The word bank is derived from Latin word ‘bancus’, French word ‘banque’, Italian word ‘banca’, meaning "table"; German word ‘banc’, meaning bench or counter. Benches were used as makeshift desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by Jewish bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by green tablecloths. The Indian Banking Regulations Act, 1949 defines the term Banking as the accepting, for the purpose of lending or investment, of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise, and withdrawal by cheque, draft, order or otherwise. According to the Indian Banking Regulations Act, 1949 a Banking Company means any company which transacts the business of banking. Thus, a company which is engaged in the manufacture of goods or carries on any trade and which accepts deposits of money from the public merely for the purpose of financing its business as such manufacturer or trader shall not be deemed to transact the business of banking. The activities specified in the Act as banking activities are lending, borrowing, accepting and discounting of bills, dealing in foreign currency, deposit lockers, transfer of money etc. The Act prohibits a bank from buying and selling goods and also from holding immovable property. EVOLUTION OF BANKING There was no such word as ‘banking’ before 1640, although the practice of safe-keeping and savings flourished in the temple of Babylon as early as 2000 B.C. The first bank called the ‘Bank of Venice’ was established in Venice, Italy in 1157 to finance the monarch in his wars.

Customer satisfaction is defined as "the number of customers, or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals."Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century.

The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India , which originated in the Bank of Calcutta in June 1806, which almost immediately became the Bank of Bengal. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras , all three of which were established under charters from the British East India Company. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The three banks merged in 1921 to form the Imperial Bank of India.

  • Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India
    Banking in India Banking in India Originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to June 1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of the Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the then Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14 largest commercial banks; the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980. Currently, India has 96 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 38 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 History Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century.
