Banking Laws (Amendment ) Bill 2011
The proposed Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill 2011 proposes aligning the voting rights in private banks in proportion to the shareholding and raise
the ceiling in public sector banks from 1% to 10%.Under existing rules, the voting rights of a shareholder are capped at 1% in nationalized banks and
10% in private banks, irrespective of the equity stake. Besides, it enables nationalized banks to increase or decrease their authorized capital with
approval from the central government and Reserve Bank, without being limited by the ceiling of a maximum of INR 3Bn. It also proposes to give
powers to the nationalized banks to issue two additional instruments -bonus shares and rights issues for accessing the capital market to raise capital
required for expansion of banking business.
In our view, if approved, the amendments are going to be a positive trigger specially for PSU banks & small private sector banks. For PSU banks, it will be
pp g g p gg p y p
much easier to access the capital market. It will also help them to increase their capital base to support their business growth.
Small Private banks like Dhanalaxmi bank, South Indian Bank, Laxmi villas bank, Federal bank, Karur Vysya bank, City Union Bank may show sudden
spurt in interest from the investor community because these banks do not have single promoter or very low promoter holding (less than 12%). Groups who
are interested in getting banking license may show interest in these banks to get a indirect route of entering into the banking space. Even the NBFCs will
also try to acquire old private sector b k to ki k
l i ld i banking business with an existing set-up. W b li
banks kick-start b ki b i ih i i We believe these amendments are j the prelude of the
h d just h l d f h
much anticipated Banking license bill. We also anticipate some amendment in the Banking Merger & Acquisition rules before the govt proceed with new
banking licenses.
Capital Infusion in PSBs
Capital infusion proposed by GOI in its recent Capital Infusion Programme, is going to benefit the PSU banks in long term. However, the RoE may dilute a
bit in near term due to higher capital base, but this capital is going to support an average 20% credit growth for the below mentioned (next page) banks in
years to come. Increase of core tier 1 capital is a big positive as it will increase the loss absorbing capacity of banks. On 14th September’10, Basel Committee
for Banking Supervision (BCBS) had recommended the minimum core Tier-1 (common stock + retained earnings + pref. stock – deferred tax assets –
securitization exposure) capital requirement of at least 4 5% until 2015 An additional 2 5% capital conservation is expected to be in place by 2019
4.5% 2015. 2.5% 2019.
Usually, Indian PSU banks has larger proportion of lower quality capital due to perpetual debt component in tier 1capital. This infusion will take care of
that too.

RBI’s Working group suggestions towards Si l policy rate, fi d policy corridor etc
’ ki i d Single li fixed li id
We believe the single rate mechanism will put our Banking System at par with global practices as this is also a Standard International Monetary practice.
The Bank Rate which will be the rate at which the Reserve Bank will provide liquidity under a new collateralized Exceptional Standing Facility (ESF) is
recommended as the upper bound of the rate corridor and banks can dip into an additional 1% of their deposits, if they fall short of statutory liquidity ratio
(SLR),
(SLR) to borrow from the Central Bank at this rate This would tend to keep call rates anchored around the repo rate We believe this facility will provide
rate. rate.
some safety against unanticipated liquidity shocks. One of the recommendation is that on a daily basis too, banks are currently required to meet at least 70%
of their CRR needs, which has been raised to 80%. This will put some additional pressure on banks. Inclusion of oil bonds under the list of collateral for
reverse repo auction was also recommended. However, this can be debatable, as the fertilizer bonds are also then liable to be included in that list.

Increase of CAR for deposit taking NBFCs
I f f d i ki NBFC
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has raised the minimum capital adequacy ratio (CAR) for deposit-taking Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs)
from 12 per cent to 15 per cent, effective from March 31, 2012. It expects that tightening of prudential norms will provide a cushion to these NBFCs
in times of stress. Non-deposit taking NBFCs are already required to maintain a CAR of 15 per cent. This means for these NBFCs to give Rs 100 as
loans, they should have a capital base (equity + d b ) of Rs 15.

portfolio. Incremental business generate on the back of the Scrappage policy can contribute 1% to 3% to the outstanding book.

New banking licenses
The Reserve Bank of India(RBI) had put up a discussion paper on issuing New Banking Licenses in August, 2010.
According to the norms earlier promulgated, the possibility for Industrial Houses to be allotted with Banking Licenses looked remote. However, the RBI
may allow the Corporate Houses to bid for Banking Licenses but with a strict shareholding which may limit their influence on the decision making with
respect to large size financing. Also, Industrial Houses with rural focus may be given a chance to set up banks. If big corporate houses are allowed to enter
the banking space, the banking industry would then slowly but surely move from a regime of ‘large number of small banks’ to ‘small number of large
banks’. The new era is going to be one of consolidation around identifying core competencies where even the big banks would want to acquire smaller
ones to gain scale against probable new entrants.
Insurance Bill 2011
There were flurry of activities relating to Insurance sector. First, it was Japanese Insurance company Nippon Life Insurance which had acquired a 26%
stake in Reliance Capital’s subsidiary Reliance Life Insurance, valuing it at INR 11,500 crore. Despite falling New Business Achieved Profit (NBAP)
margins of insurers due to new IRDA pricing norms, the deal values Reliance Life at 16 times the new business premium. This shows foreign partner’s

Second, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway entered the Indian non-life insurance sector as a corporate agent of Bajaj Allianz General. Even he was quite vocal
in his meetings with IRDA chief for increasing FDI limit in this capital intensive sector to 49%.

9. Banking Sector – Long Term Budget Impact
National Manufacturing Policy
“ For sustained growth of GDP and productive employment for younger generation, it is imperative that the growth in manufacturing sector
picks up. We expect to take the share of manufacturing in GDP from about 16 percent to 25 percent over a period of ten years” – FM
This means on a assumed growth of 8% in GDP, the manufacturing sector will grow at CAGR of 15%. This growth is at least 500-600 bps
higher than the average growth the sector has registered in the last two years. With core manufacturing constitutes a big chunk (~17-20%) of
bank’s loan book, we expect this as a long term positive for banking sector too.
Bharat Nirman
“ In pursuance of my earlier budget announcement to provide a real wage of INR100 per day, the Government has decided to index the wage
rates notified under the MGNREGA to the Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labor” – FM
“I am happy to announce an increase in the remuneration of Anganwadi workers from INR1,500 per month to INR3,000 per month and for
INR1 500 INR3 000
Anganwadi helpers from `750 per month to INR1,500 per month.” – FM
This means for 21 Mn employees under MGNREGA scheme & 2.2 Mn Anganwadi workers and helpers will now get much higher
wages, which not only increase their consumption but also encourage them for savings.
Investment Environment
“Currently, only FIIs and sub-accounts registered with the SEBI and NRIs are allowed to invest in mutual fund schemes. To liberalize the
portfolio investment route, it has been decided to permit SEBI registered Mutual Funds to accept subscriptions from foreign investors who
meet the KYC requirements for equity schemes This would enable Indian Mutual Funds to have direct access to foreign investors.” – FM
schemes.
With un-official figure of USD 150 Bn to USD 1 Tln of black money lying in tax heavens and foreign bank accounts, this step may force some
of it to convert into white money in coming years. This also helps banks with AMC operations.
8 4th April ’2011
10. Banking Sector – Outlook
The outlook for the banking sector in coming quarter (Q411) appears positive on the back of expected growth in credit and business earnings during
the busy seasons. However the main risk to our optimism remains the inflation which may force RBI to continue with its interest rate tightening
cycle. Crude in that case may prove to be the main spoilsport if disruption in supply happens over prolonged agitation and tension in Middle-east
countries.
On the positive side, we are still bullish on the future prospect of the banking sector in the long run. We believe, banks would benefit in a rising
GDP growth scenario. We are anticipating a credit growth of 18% for CY2011 with more focus on non-infra loans. Deposit growth which had been a
laggard till now, may see some revival going forward due to recent deposit hikes which makes the real interest rates turning positive. Current tight
liquidity , higher CD ratio and new base rate regime have given banks the required pricing power to pass on most of the increase in cost of funds to
the end borrowers.
On the negative side, Net interest margin is likely to be under pressure in near term. We expect margins across the board to be lower by 10-15 bps
due to a steep rise in short term interest rates. The impending pension liability may become a near term overhang on the whole PSU bank lot.
However, for banks with strong CASA base may see 5-7 bps margin erosion from the multiyear high levels. On the asset quality front,
Implementation of CBS for computation of NPA may throw some negative surprises for PSU banks. Private banks with strong reporting structure are
a better bet in that case.
