State Bank of Travancore State Bank of Travancore Instruments Amount Rating Action (Rs. Crore)1 (October 2016) Lower Tier-II Bond Programme 250.00 [ICRA]AAA (stable); reaffirmed Lower Tier-II Bond Programme 375.00 [ICRA]AAA (stable); withdrawn Tier-II Bonds Programme-Basel III 691.00 [ICRA]AAA (hyb) (stable); withdrawn ICRA has reaffirmed the [ICRA]AAA (pronounced ICRA triple A) rating with stable outlook for the Rs. 250.00 crore lower tier-II bond programme of State Bank of Travancore (SBT). ICRA has withdrawn the [ICRA]AAA rating assigned to the bank’s Rs. 375.00 crore lower tier-II bond programme as requested by the bank, as the rated instrument has been fully redeemed and there is no amount outstanding. ICRA has also withdrawn the [ICRA]AAA (hyb) (pronounced ICRA triple A hybrid) rating assigned to the bank’s Rs. 691.00 crore Basel III compliant tier-II bonds, as no funds were raised against this rated instrument and there is no amount outstanding. The letters “hyb” in parenthesis suffixed to a rating symbol stand for “hybrid”, indicating that the rated instrument is a hybrid subordinated instrument with equity-like loss-absorption features; such features may translate into higher levels of rating transition and loss-severity vis-à-vis conventional debt instruments. The highest credit quality rating for SBT factors in its strong parentage (79% stake held by State Bank of India (SBI); rated [ICRA]AAA(stable)/[ICRA]A1+), the operational and management synergies with its parent and its well-established franchise in its area of operations (primarily Kerala) supported by the State Bank brand. ICRA takes note of the Union Cabinet’s approval in June 2016 to merge the five SBI associate banks with its parent; the merger process is expected to be completed by March 2017. SBT’s gross NPAs increased moderately from 3.8% as on September 30, 2015 (3.4% as on March 31, 2015) to 4.8% as on March 31, 2016; the gross NPAs however increased steeply to 9.4% as on June 30, 2016 on account of the alignment of the bank’s asset recognition and provisioning norms in-line with SBI’s to facilitate the merger process. As on June 30, 2016, the bank had standard restructured assets (excluding state electricity boards) of 3.0% (reduced from 4.7% as on March 31, 2016 and 6.0% as on March 31, 2015) and as per ICRA’s estimate, other vulnerable exposure of around 2%, which could exert more pressure on the bank’s asset quality profile during the current fiscal. While the bank has raised equity capital of Rs. 474 crore through a rights issue and tier-II capital of Rs. 515 crore during FY2016, it has not raised any capital so far during the current fiscal. As on June 30, 2016, SBT’s capitalization profile was moderate with tier-I capital at 8.15% (CET-1 at 7.86%). During FY2016, despite an increase in provisioning cost2 to 1.2% from 0.8% during FY2015, the bank’s net profitability3 remained stable at 0.3% aided by a marginal improvement in its net interest margin (with a reduction in cost of funds) and non- interest income during the year. During Q1FY2017, a steep increase in credit provisioning to 4.1% resulted in net losses of -2.6% of average total assets. During FY2016, the bank’s gross advances declined by 4.1% to Rs. 0.67 lakh crore as on March 31, 2016 on account of a decline in corporate and agriculture advances. During FY2016, the proportion of corporate advances in gross advances declined to 47% (49% as on March 31, 2015) with the share of retail advances increasing to 31% (from 27% as on March 31, 2015), in-line with the bank’s shift in focus from corporate to retail segment. During FY2016, the total deposits grew by 11.0% to Rs. 1.01 lakh crore with the proportion of CASA deposits improving from 29.8% to 31.8% and the proportion of bulk deposits (greater than Rs. 1 crore) reducing from 13.2% to 9.3%. 1 Rs. 1 crore = Rs. 10 million = Rs. 100 lakh 2 Total provision and contingencies / Average total assets 3 Net profit / Average total assets Bank Profile SBT is part of SBI group and is 79% owned by SBI as on June 30, 2016. Being an SBI associate, SBT derives significant advantage from its use of the State Bank brand name and logo, its access to the group’s extensive branch and ATM network, and sharing of credit-risk rating, treasury management, and IT systems with the parent. The operational synergies between SBT and SBI are high with the two entities using the same core banking solution and SBT distributing the parent’s insurance and mutual funds products. In June 2016, the Union Cabinet approved the merger of the five SBI associate banks with the parent; the merger process is expected to be completed by March 2017. Recent Results During FY2016, SBT reported a net profit of Rs. 338 crore on a total asset base of Rs. 1.15 lakh crore as against a net profit of Rs. 336 crore on a total asset base of Rs. 1.06 lakh crore in FY2015. In Q1FY2017, the bank reported a net loss of Rs. 743 crore vis-a-vis a net profit of Rs. 81 crore for Q1FY2016 October 2016 For further details please contact: Analyst Contacts: Mr. Karthik Srinivasan (Tel No +91 22 6114 3444) [email protected] Mr. A M Karthik (Tel.

  • Introduction Banking in India
    Introduction Banking in India Banking in India originated in the last decades of the 18th century. The first banks were The General Bank of India which started in 1786, and the Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. 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, which, upon India’s Independence became the State Bank of India. Origin of Banking in India Indian merchants in Calcutta established the Union Bank in 1839, but it failed in 1848 as a consequence of the economic crisis of 1848-49. The Allahabad Bank, established in 1865 and still functioning today, is the oldest Joint Stock bank in India. (Joint Stock Bank: A company that issues stock and requires shareholders to be held liable for the company’s debt) It was not the first though. That honor belongs to the Bank of Upper India, which was established in 1863, and which survived until 1913, when it failed, with some of its assets and liabilities being transferred to the Alliance Bank of Simla. When the American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States, promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton.

    Dear Investor, The year gone by was an exceptional one for many reasons. Our country has been the beacon of all that is good – growth potential of our economy and markets, positivity in our future as a country with a host of measures taken by our elected representatives to ease and enable businesses and individuals; and general positivity with conviction as more people, young and experienced, taking the plunge to start-up on their own thus helping create employment and consumption for people and the community around them. The Indian economy and the equity markets were in the thick of the action and the year was a momentous one. A lot of crucial bills were passed which will ease the way we do business and deliver services including bills like The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill and The Aadhaar (targeted delivery of financial and other subsidies, benefits and services) Bill. This was backed with a strong fiscal show from the Government by sticking to its fiscal deficit targets while pursuing its growth agenda. The equity markets touched all-time highs on the back of retail investors, betting on the potential of the country, investing in record numbers which was an encouraging sign in recent times. The Mutual Fund industry gained significantly buoyed by record inflows into equity-based funds with growth of 14% in the financial year ended March 2016, with average assets under management touching `13.53 lakh crore and taking the total number of folios to a record 4.7 crore (Source: SEBI and AMFI). More importantly, asset management companies were net-investors in the markets last year providing the counter-balance to FIIs which is heartening.

  • Retirement Planning Products Offered by the State Bank of India and Its Affiliates
    © 2021 JETIR January 2021, Volume 8, Issue 1 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Retirement Planning Products Offered by the State Bank of India and Its Affiliates Sharvee Shrotriya, Research Scholar, Department of Commerce and Management, Banasthali Vidyapith, Niwai- 304022, India. ABSTRACT An integral aspect of financial planning is retirement planning. The need for retirement planning is intensified by a rise in overall life expectancy. In addition to providing an extra source of revenue, retirement planning also allows one to cope with medical emergencies, meet life goals, and remain financially independent. The State Bank of India and other commercial banks and financial institutions have brought out many products and schemes to facilitate retirement planning procedures. However, the plans are not organized enough to be accessible to the public. The degree of effectiveness of these plans and their execution are some of the things that raise concern. The retirement planning among women and the ways of delivering services by the bank is yet to be researched. The study is based on secondary data. The research shows that apart from measures taken by the SBI for the betterment of retirement planning, the products launched are not ample. It is essential to ensure that retirement planning is started by youngsters at an early age and the banks lubricate the process with their innovative, accessible, and customer-friendly products. Key Words- Financial Planning, SBI and Retirement Planning. 1. INTRODUCTION Famously known as the SBI, the State Bank of India, with its headquarters in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is the largest commercial bank of India. It is not some public sector banking and financial services company but it is also classified as an Indian Multinational.

  • Sbi – Merger of Associates
    SBI – MERGER OF ASSOCIATES The cabinet approved the merger of the subsidiaries--State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala and State Bank of Travancore-- and Bharatiya Mahila Bank Limited with SBI. The approval does not come as a surprise given the government’s stated intention of encouraging consolidation among state-owned banks (this came in the this year’s union budget) even as it looks to address the issues of rising bad debts in the banking system and, at the same time, ensure efficient utilization of capital. A finance ministry spokesperson confirmed the cabinet’s decision though there was no mention of this in the official cabinet briefing. The merger will see the combined entity’s balance sheet at a whopping Rs 37 trillion, making it one of the top 50 banks in the world. “The merger of SBI and its associate banks is a win-win for both. While the network of SBI would stand to increase, its reach would multiply. One can expect efficiencies to be created from rationalization of branches, common treasury pooling and proper deployment of a large skilled resource base,” State Bank of India chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said in a statement. “Currently, no Indian bank features in the top 50 banks of the world. With this merger, some visibility at global level is likely to increase,” she said. Shares of SBI and its subsidiaries zoomed after the cabinet’s decision. SBI’s shares were up 3.9% at Rs 215.65 apiece at close of trade on Tuesday.
