We constantly strive to impart technology in all dimensions of banking. As a national level recognition to the excellent contribution made in the area of Information Systems Security Policies and Procedures, your bank won a special award for excellence in Banking Technology from IDRBT (Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology) the technical arm of the Reserve Bank of India. Promoting talents in every facet has been the watchword of our bank.

In a scenario where banks are trying to be positioned as a one-stop shop providing all financial services to the customer, your bank could excel just because of your continued support and encouragement. I solicit your continued patronage in the coming days also, which I am sure will take your bank to unprecedented heights and glory. With Regards,

Dr. V.A. JOSEPH Chairman & CEO

HADI EXPRESS EXCHANGE, BURDUBAI MANAGEMENT SUPPORT : THE SOUTH INDIAN BANK LTD We have launched the “SIB EXPRESS” facility from this office. Funds transferred through this facility will be credited in all networked branches of SIB instantaneously. For details contact : Mr. Shelly Joseph (GM) Hadi Express Exchange, P O BOX: 28909,Al Souq road, Near ABRA STATION, Bur Dubai, UAE Fax: 009714 3537660,Telephone: 3537650 /3534802, 00971-50-4516418(M) Email: [email protected] NRIs TO GET PAN FOR TRADING The Securities and Exchange board of India is withdrawing the “limited purpose Beneficiary owner account”/ trading account facility for non resident Indians(NRIs) and persons of Indian origin(PIO) without a Permanent Account Number. This follows the directorate of Income tax issuing guidelines facilitating Indian citizens residing outside India, foreign citizens and other persons (like companies, trusts or firms) having no office of their own in India, to obtain PAN based on the copy of their passport as ID proof and copy of passport/copy of bank account in the country of residence as address proof. The Income Tax Department has recently simplified the process of issuing PAN card to NRIs.The process now allows NRIs and even foreign citizens direct access to apply for a PAN card. The latest simplification carried out earlier this month is that NRIs/ foreign citizens do not require any representative to act on their behalf, or even give his details.NRIs can directly apply for the same. The form 49A, required to be filled up by NRIS in the standard format, is similar to that of anybody seeking a PAN card. The NRI can easily download the forms from the websites of the two designated PAN Service providers- UTI Technology Services and National Securities Depositories. The filled form has to be sent back to the service provider's offices. Such an application form requires NRIs to attach the photocopy of the passport, and the photocopy of the bank account maintained in India, if the NRIs are filing the application 49A are doing so from overseas. In case the individual NRIs are doing so when they are in India, they need to furnish the photocopy of their bank accounts, which they hold in their country of residence. The PAN card proves to be handy for NRIs in all such cases in which the individuals are interested in purchase/sale of shares or participating in IPO's online or through overseas branches of brokers. This is because in case of IPO's it is now necessary to have demat account, which can only be opened by furnishing PAN card photocopies. In case of the secondary market too, the application for opening an account with the broker (overseas branch)or trading online, needs to have the PAN details along with the demat account details.

Among the other top investors of 2005-06 are Suzlon energy, Tata steel, Ranbaxy laboratories, Videocon international, VSNL, Matrix Laboratories, TCS and Wipro. However, if all Tata investments are clubbed together, the group will stand third with an investment of $ 755m. Indian companies invested over $ 1.05bn in the US, it being the top favorite. As per the Indian investment preferences in 2005-06, the United Kingdom came second, attracting $ 800m, says the report. Other countries where Indian companies were bullish on during the year are Belgium with $ 790m, Germany with $ 657m, and Thailand with $486m. Sector wise, pharmaceuticals has been the leader, with $1.58bn of outward investment in 2005-06. The major investors abroad in this sector are Dr.Reddy's laboratories, Matrix laboratories, Jubilant Organosys and Nicholas Piramal India. Banking follows next with an investment of $1.18bn and third comes IT with an investment of $786m.In the metals sector, India invested about $777m overseas-largely driven by Tata Steel's foray into Thailand. The energy sector invested $630m abroad. One of the major investments by an Indian company abroad so far has been that of Aban Loyd Chiles Offshore, which invested $445m in Norway.
