  • Lakshmi Vilas Bank – Silent Majority Must Suffer!
    Lakshmi Vilas Bank – Silent majority must suffer! Corporate Governance Research Proxy Advisory Services Corporate Governance Scores Stakeholders Empowerment Services 2012 – Stakeholders’ Education 2013 | All Rights Reserved LAKSHMI VILAS BANK - Silent majority must suffer! 2020 BACKGROUND Last week of September will be remembered as watershed period for Indian corporate governance movement, as investors/ Shareholders of Lakshmi Vilas Bank (‘LVB’) created history. They rejected/ ousted 7 Directors and Statutory Auditors who were proposed to be appointed / re-appointed at the AGM held on 25th September 2020. In history of Indian corporate democracy, hitherto such an unprecedented revolt by shareholders was rarely seen, where such extreme measures were used by shareholders to voice their concerns against the Board. SES is of the opinion that this appears to be just the beginning and one cannot rule out many more cases in future. It is certainly result of many reforms and developments in area of corporate governance and is culmination of pent up anger or frustration against ineffective boards and numerous instances of corporate frauds. One can say that shareholder activism in India which began almost a decade back has come of age. Although, shareholders are turning a new leaf in taking their rights in earnest and demanding corrective actions from the management, however, in case of LVB, there is a looming question on the future course of the Bank and the after effects of removal of majority directors. The Bank had proposed 10 resolutions regarding appointment and re-appointment of Directors and out of these, 7 resolutions were rejected by the public shareholders of the Bank along with resolution for appointment of Auditors.

  • Do We Really Need Indian Corporations in Banking?1 the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Recently Released a Report of an Internal
    Do we really need Indian corporations in banking?1 The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently released a report of an Internal Working Group (IWG) to review bank ownership guidelines. The Reserve Bank reviews its regulations periodically, and by and large this working group has done the usual thorough job. Yet its most important recommendation, couched amidst a number of largely technical regulatory rationalizations, is a bombshell: it proposes to allow Indian corporate houses into banking. While the proposal is tempered with many caveats, it raises an important question: Why now? Have we learnt something that allows us to override all the prior cautions on allowing industrial houses into banking? We would argue no. Indeed, to the contrary, it is even more important today to stick to the tried and tested limits on corporate involvement in banking. As in many parts of the world, banks in India are rarely allowed to fail – the recent rescue of Yes Bank and of Lakshmi Vilas Bank are examples. For this reason, depositors in scheduled banks know their money is safe, which then makes it easy for banks to access a large volume of depositor funds. The rationales for not allowing industrial houses into banking are then primarily two. First, industrial houses need financing, which they can get easily, no questions asked, if they have an in- house bank. The history of such connected lending is invariably disastrous – how can the bank make good loans when it is owned by the borrower? Even an independent committed regulator, with all the information in the world, finds it difficult to be in every nook and corner of the financial system to stop poor lending.

  • Lakshmi Vilas Bank Crisis
    Lakshmi Vilas Bank Crisis drishtiias.com/printpdf/lakshmi-vilas-bank-crisis Why in News Recently, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to impose a 30-day moratorium on Chennai-based Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd (LVB). Key Points Background: LVB was placed under the prompt corrective action (PCA) framework in September 2019 considering the breach of PCA thresholds as on 31st March, 2019. The RBI has specified certain regulatory trigger points, as a part of prompt corrective action (PCA) Framework, in terms of three parameters, i.e. capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR), net non-performing assets (NPA) and Return on Assets (RoA), for initiation of certain structured and discretionary actions in respect of banks hitting such trigger points. After taking into consideration various developments, the RBI had come to the conclusion that in the absence of a credible revival plan, with a view to protect depositors’ interest and in the interest of financial and banking stability, there is no alternative but to apply to the Central Government for imposing a moratorium under section 45 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. 1/3 Challenges Faced by LVB: Domino Effect of Yes Bank Crisis: The LVB episode started unfolding after the RBI and banks led by State Bank of India bailed out fraud-hit Yes Bank in March 2020. Yes Bank illustrated the widening damage from India’s shadow banking crisis, highlighted by the collapse of IL&FS in 2018. On the same lines, Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank was hit by a loan scam highlighting the riskiness of banks, especially cooperative banks.
