IMPACT OF MERGERS IN BANKING INDUSTRY : A CASE STUDY OF KOTAK MAHINDRA Dr S. B. Patkar Key words : Mergers, liquidity, profitability, Reforms,

INTRODUCTION Bank plays a vital role in the economic development of the country. Trade, commerce and industry are mostly depend upon the for all financial transactions through various Product and services rendered by Banks. The categorisation of banking industry in India can be made in three phases Such as Pre Nationalisation, post Nationalisation and post Liberalisation period. In the pre- nationalisation period there were presence of private sector banks up to 1969 and later on there were nationalisation of the banks took place. The post nationalisation era was started in 1969 with nationalisation 14 commercial banks and later on in 1980 with addition of six more commercial banks .The significance of the nationalised banks were that the entire share holding were belongs to government. The government did not had the control over the disbursement of funds for the priority sector during the pre nationalisation period and in order to have more control over the fund disbursement the then government took decision of nationalisation of 14 commercial banks and they were considered as public sector banks. The government started disbursement fund for the priority sector lending and contributed for economic development of the country. The economic reforms was introduced in 1991 and market was opened for the entire globe. The Indian business units were able to start their business outside the country and vice versa and banking industry was not an exception to that. The has appointed Narasimhan committee to review the status of the banking industry India and to recommend the changes required so that our banks can face the challenges at global level.. The committee had recommended various measures and mergers and consolidation of the banks was one of the measure. The objective behind was to reduce small banks and making few banks as major banks so that they can compete with the large banks in the world. After introduction of the economic reforms there was significant changes occurred in Banking industry in India . The product and services were diversified by establishing separate

subsidiaries or through departmentally and concentrated on the fee based based income services rather than fund based services.. The major significant changes were the development of technology or introduction of technology based products and services.

Mergers in the Banking industry Mergers in banks is not recent phenomena . It has started during the pre- nationalised period between private banks and merger process has been continued till today. In 1969 the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi initiated the process of nationalization of banks. Since then a number of mergers have taken place. From 1991 to 1999 there were mergers of 10 banks consisting of public sector with public sector banks and from 2000 to 2009 there were mergers of 16 banks in that maximum mergers were from private Banks with private banks and from 2010 to 2017 there were mergers of State banks with their associate banks. One of the merger between private c bank of with ING Vsysa Bank was taken for the study by the researcher. After introducing reforms in 1991 the Government of India has appointed committees such as Narasimham committee , joint parliamentary committee, b=verma commiteee to assess the changes and improvement required in banking industry in India. REVIEW OF LITERATURE V. Mahesh Yadav ( 2019) studied the financial performance of SBI before and after liberalisation with an objectives to analyse the present position of after Merger.Ishwarya (2019) found that the pre- and post merger and acquisition of selected banks in India have no greater changes in profitability ratio and also decline in performance .Ramnath H.R, D.M Subramanyam and Dr U.N Laksham(2019 observed that performance of SBI in terms of number of branches and number of employees has shown consistent growth 1999 to 2018. Jai Bansal And Dr Gurudatt Kakkar(2018) observed that the size of SBI will increase and scope for SBI to be in the top 50 banks for the world and acquisition is a boon for the industry in the times of need. Kantamaneni Hema and others ( 2018) The study concluded that merger is useful strategy, through this bank can expand their base, increases profitability ,liquidity and efficiency but the overall growth .Saurabh Babel( 2017) highlighted the benefits derived from the consolidation. and observed that

Source : Compiled from Annual Reports of Kotak Mahindra Bank for the year 2010 to 2019 Profit Margin ratio Profit Margin ratio measures banks ability to control expenses and its ability to produce net income from its operating income( revenue) . It has been observed in the table 3 that the average profit margin ratio during the pre merger period has recorded at 58.38 percent and after merger it was recorded at 57.25 percent which has reduced during the post

merger period. Thus its ability to produce net income from the operating profit has reduced in post merger period. Return on Equity Return on Equity indicates the profit that business unit is generating for its equity investors. The ratio is widely used by equity investors in their decision making and higher value of ratio is indicative of higher profitability and productivity. It has been observed in the table that the average return of equity ratio during the pre merger period has been recorded at 11.97 percent and post merger period it is recorded at 7.99 percent .Thus it shows that the return on equity has been reduced in post merger period. Operating Profit ratio The operating profit is very important ratio for any organization. It shows the profit earned by the organization during the year .Higher the profit shows the efficient use of the all resources and decision making of the management. The customers of banks trust the bank depending upon the profitability of the bank. The ratio is arrived by dividing operating profit by total Asset. The earning quality for the bank is directly proportional to this ratio. It has been observed in the table that the average operating ration of Kotak Mahindra Bank before merger was 2.81 percent and after the merger it recorded 2.61 percent which is lower than the pre merger period

Return on Asset Return on Asset gives an indication as to how much profit a business unit is able to generate per unit of its assets. Higher value of this ratio is indicative of higher profitability. It has been observed from the table that the Average ROA ratio of bank during the pre merger period has been recorded as 1.78 percent and during the post merger period it was recorded as 1.66 percent .Thus it shows that the return on the total asset has decreased after merger. Liquidity in Banks Liquidity is very important to obtain the financial performance of banking industry and to sustain and enhance the position for banks in the banking sector. Liquidity means the ability of bank in converting an asset in to cash .In order to meet all maturing unsecured debt obligations ,liquidity should be sufficient enough through out year . Liquid asset to total asset and Liquid asset to total deposit is used to measure the liquidity status of the bank. Liquid Asset to Total asset

Volume 8, Issue 10, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 1016 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808

It determines the proportion of the liquid asset in the total Asset. It has been observed in the table that the average liquid asset ratio during the pre merger period was recorded at5.39 percent and after merger the average ratio was recorded at 8.73 percent .Thus it shows that the liquid asset of banks has increased. Higher liquidity negatively affects the profit of the bank . Liquid Asset to Deposit It determines the proportion of the liquid asset from the total deposit received from the depositors. In the table it was observed that the average liquid asset to total deposit ratio was recorded at 8.66 percent during the pre merger period whereas after the merger it was recorded at 12.06 percent. Thus it shows that the liquidity has increased in post merger period. It has direct impact on the profitability of the bank. Table 4 FINANCIAL RATIOS OF KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK

Ratio of Interest Income to Total Asset It has been observed from table that the average ration of before merger of Kotak Mahindra Bank was 9.96 percent to Total Asset and post Merger period has increased i.e 10.52 percent . Thus it indicates that the during the post merger period the interest income of the bank has enhanced. It shows that during the post merger period the loans and advances has increased. Non – Interest Income to Total Income It has been observed from the table that the Average non – interest income ratio for the first five year period is 2.36 percent and post merger period it is 5.47 percent thus it shows that the non-interest income of the bank has increased during the post merger period. Increase in Non – interest income will enhance the total Asset turnover of commercial banks. Net Interest Income Ratio Bank earned interest on loans and advances provided to customers and at the same time bank have to pay the interest on the amount received as deposits. The difference in the interest earned and paid is the net interest income and that is the net income of the Bank. It has been observed in the table that the Average net income ratio during the pre – merger period is recorded as 4.69 percent and after the merger it has been recorded as 4.57 percent . Thus it has been reduced from the pre merger period to post merger period. Investment – Deposit Ratio The investment deposit ratio measures the efficiency of the management in converting the available deposit into investment.. It was observed in the table that the average Investment -deposit ratio was 53.11 before merger and after merger the ratio was recorded 33.62. Thus it is concluded that the investment deposit ratio has been reduced in the post merger period. The bank was converting more deposit into investment during the pre merger period than after the merger. The ratio is calculated by using the following formula Gross NPA ratio The gross NPA is calculated by Gross NPA to Gross Advances . Non performing Asset of Kotak Mahindra Bank during at the pre merger bank has recorded as 1.92 percent and after merger it has recorded 2.24 percent . Thus it shows that the Gross NPA during the post merger period has increased.

Net NPA Ratio The net NPA is calculated by Net NPA to Net Advances . The Net Non performing Asset of Kotak Mahindra bank before Merger has recorded at 0.86 percent and after merger recorded at 1.02 percent .Thus it shows that the Net NPA during the post merger period has increased.

Credit Deposit ratio Credit -Deposit Ratio is a commonly used statistics for assessing banks liquidity by dividing banks total loan by its total deposit. It measures the

Volume 8, Issue 10, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 1019 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808

efficiency of the management in converting the available deposits into advances. The efficiency is positively related to the value of the ratio. It was observed in the table that before the pre merger period the bank credit deposit ratio was 94.57 percent indicates that out of Rs 100 deposited Rs94.57 is advanced as loans whereas after the merger it has reduced to 87.91 percent . Higher ratio indicates higher amount of deposit received from the customer which were converted in to advances. Large amount of revenue is received from the interest earned. Higher the advances higher will be the revenue to Bank. Higher advancing loans from the deposit indicates that bank may not have enough liquidity to cover any unforeseen fund requirements. Capital Adequacy Ratio Capital Adequacy ratio measures the amount of a Banks Capital in relation to its risk weighted credit exposures and is most widely used to measures soundness of bank. It determines the capacity of a bank to withstand the unexpected losses arising out of its operation. It has been observed in the table that the Average Capital Adequacy Ratio during the pre merger period was 18.12 percent and after merger it was recorded at 17.2 . Deposit to total Asset ratio The deposit total Asset shows proportion of deposit received from the customer to total Asset of the bank . Total assets includes fixed asset ,current asset and investment made by bank in various securities. Higher the total asset stronger the bank. Deposit received by bank from customers are liability of bank which need to be returned after specific period. Bank merged to have enough asset to meet the liabilities. Deposits should be lesser than the assets of bank. The average ratio of deposit to total Asset during the premerger period was recorded at 61.68 percent and after merger the ratio was recorded at 72.22 percent. Thus it shows that the ratio has been increased in the post merger period. Interest Expense ratio Interest expenses constitute the major part of the total expenses incurred by any bank .Interest is paid on the amount deposited by customer on term deposits, fixed deposit and other account such as saving deposits ,recurring deposits etc. The average ratio during the pre merger period has been recorded at 43.59 percent and during the post merger period it has recorded 31.91 percent which has been reduced in the post merger period Ratio of Burden to Total Assets

The difference between Non- interest expenses and Non- interest income of Bank is called burden. It measures the burden as percentage of Total assets .If the burden is more than it adversely affect profit It has been observed in the table that the burden ratio to total asset has been recorded at 1.54 percent and during the post merger period it has been recorded at 1,20 .Thus it shows that during the post merger period it has been reduced. Ratio of Burden to Interest Income The difference between Non- interest expenses and Non- interest income of Bank is called burden. The ratio Burden to interest income measures the burden as a percentage of income .Higher value of ratio adversely affect profit. It was observed in the table that during the pre merger period the ratio was recorded at 15.88 percent and in the post merger period it has recorded at 12.72 percent . Deposits to Total Liabilities Ratios The total deposit to total Liabilities ratio measures the total deposit as a percentage of total liabilities. the higher this ratio indicates that a bank received high deposits and its liquidity is high. It was observed in the table that the average deposit – liabilities ratio during the pre merger period was recorded at 57.87 percent and after the merger it recorded at 55.82 percent . Thus it shows that the deposit has been increased during the post merger period. Deposit which are received from customer are of term deposit and fixed deposit which are required to return after specific period. Findings From the analysis the following findings has been derived 1) Profit Margin ratio has been increased in post merger period whereas the operating profit during the post merger period is reduced. 2) Return on equity and Return of Assets in post merger period is reduced indicating less efficient in utilizing the resources. 3) The liquidity of the banks with reference to deposit and total Asset has been increased in post merger period. Increase in liquidity reflect on the profitability of the bank. 4) Gross NPA and Net NPA in post merger period has been increased indicating poor recovery of debts. 5) Investment – deposit ratio has been reduced during the post merger period indicating less investment made from the deposit funds .

6) Net interest income ratio has been reduced in post merger period 7) Interest income ratio and Non – interest income ratio and income expense ratio has been reduced in post merger period. 8) Deposit to total Asset has been increased in post merger period whereas deposit to total Liabilities has been reduced in post merger period. 9) Burden to total Asset ad Burden to Interest income ratio has been reduced in post merger period 10) Capital Adequacy ratio and Credit to deposit ratio in post merger period has been reduced.

Conclusion and Suggestions Mergers and Acquisition in Banking industry has started during the pre – nationalization period and continued till today. There has been merger between private and private, private and public and public sector with public sector banks. The merger between two private banks kotak Mahindra Bank and ING Vysya has resulted mix trend with increase in profit margin ratio and liquidity whereas reduction in interest income and non interest income. The merger also increased the NPA of the Bank. The government should encourage the merger of the strong banks with strong banks rather than weak banks so that the benefits of the merger will pass onto stakeholders in Banking process such as customers, stakeholders , employees and government. Recommendation 1) Kotak Mahindra Bank should take corrective measure in reducing the NPA of the Bank. 2) The bank also need to take some measures to reduce the liquidity , since it has direct impact on the profitability of the banks.
