1.1 ORIGIN OF THE ORGANIZATION

The Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC) was amongst the first

to receive an 'in principle' approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a

bank in the private sector, as part of the RBI's liberalization of the Indian Banking

Industry in 1994. The bank was incorporated in August 1994 in the name of 'HDFC Bank

Limited', with its registered office in Mumbai, India. HDFC Bank commenced operations

as a Scheduled Commercial Bank in January 1995.

HDFC is India's premier housing finance company and enjoys an impeccable track record

in India as well as in international markets. Since its inception in 1977, the Corporation

has maintained a consistent and healthy growth in its operations to remain the market

leader in mortgages. HDFC has developed significant expertise in retail mortgage loans

to different market segments and also has a large corporate client base for its housing

related credit facilities.

1.2 GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION

HDFC Bank is head quartered in Mumbai. The Bank at present has an enviable network

of over 684 branches spread over 316 cities across India. All branches are linked on an

online real-time basis. Customers in over 120 locations are also serviced through

Telephone Banking. The Bank's expansion plans take into account the need to have a

presence in all major industrial and commercial centers where its corporate customers are

located as well as the need to build a strong retail customer base for both deposits and

loan products. Being a clearing/settlement bank to various leading stock exchanges, the

Bank has branches in the centers where the NSE/ BSE have a strong and active member

base. The Bank also has a network of about over 4000 networked ATMs across these

cities. Moreover, HDFC Bank's ATM network can be accessed by all domestic and

international Visa/MasterCard, Visa Electron/Maestro, Plus/Cirrus and American Express

Credit/Charge cardholders.

In a milestone transaction in the Indian banking industry, Times Bank Limited

(another new private sector bank promoted by Bennett, Coleman & Co./Times

Group) was merged with HDFC Bank Ltd., effective February 26, 2000. As

per the scheme of amalgamation approved by the shareholders of both banks

and the Reserve Bank of India, shareholders of Times Bank received 1 share

of HDFC Bank for every 5.75 shares of Times Bank.

1.4 MAJOR CHALLENGES

On close scrutiny , we find 4 key issues of corporate governance, risk appetite, financial

inclusion and healthy profitability being consistently reflected across the overall

processes, operations, product, practices and consequently in the information flow of the

bank’s commodities operations. Thus, major challenges to be addressed by the process

flow and subsequent information flow are the following:

1. To acquire a major chunk of India’s expanding banking and financial services

industry through a disciplined growth strategy focusing on quality and not on

quantity and delivering high quality customer service.

2. Leveraging the technology platform to reduce operating costs while delivering

more products to more customers.

3. Disciplined credit risk management leading to healthy profitability.

4. Developing innovative products and services in tandem with the customer’s needs

and demands.

5. Understanding trade cycle, business cycle and working capital cycle of the clients

and crop seasonality and matching the same to the product norms and bank

norms.

1.5 HDFC BANK – MIS (IT INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE SYSTEMS)

HDFC Bank uses a customized MIS by the name of Finware which has

different sections to address the needs of its different departments and

products.

For security, the bank has employed 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL)

technology which is the highest level of security commercially available.

HDFC Bank operates in a highly automated environment in terms of

information technology and communication systems. All the bank’s

branches have online connectivity, which enables the bank to offer speedy

funds transfer facilities to its customers.

Multi-branch access is also provided to retail customers through the

branch network and Automated Teller Machines.

The Bank has made substantial efforts and investments in acquiring the

best technology , made available internationally to build the infrastructure

for a world-class bank.

The bank’s business is supported by scalable and robust systems which

ensure the delivery of the finest services to the customers consistently.

Engagement of internet and latest technology has been one of the key

priorities of the bank and already it has made significant progress by web

enabling its core businesses.

1.6 PROCESS FLOW

It is imperative to understand the product and its target customers , various actors within

the bank before getting down to the process flow. The commodities business group of the

bank offers two loan products, viz. Service Provider (SP) Loan and Term Cash Credit

(TCC) which can be customized as per the requirements of the client . The only

difference between them is the nature of the collateral offered and, accordingly , there is a

difference in the disbursement procedure of the two.

The product that we are going to take up is the SP loan. The purpose of this loan is to

cater to short-term working capital requirement of farmers/ agricultural commodities

processors like ginners and oil mill owners, etc., given against the stocks of commodities

which the borrower has in the warehouse but cannot convert it into cash as the price

parity is not there.

Thus, the key activities herein are assessment of the creditworthiness of the borrower,

decision on credit limit as per the case, valuation of the stock and warehouse

management/ collateral management , disbursement of the loan amount and release of the

stock.

MIS AT HDFC:

Management Information system is supposed to include Decision Support Systems,

resource and people management applications,project management and database retrieval

applications.But for this product the focus is on decision support system and data

maintenance and retrieval. There are two types of report being generated by MIS in use:

1.Exception Report:

1.Borrower Approval report.

2.Outstanding Report.

3.Closure report.

4.Deferral tracking Report.

2.Normal Report.

1.CAM Dattabase,

2.Price Margin3.Cap Margin

4.Disbursement Report,

5.RM Database

6.SP Database

7.SP Collateral Security Database

The following are the key performance areas of MIS:

1. SALES:

There is a need to keep a track of the sales of the loan with respect to the performance of

the individual RMs and SPs.CAM database ,Borrower approval report,Disbursement

report capture the relevant data for the same.Deferral tracking report,outstanding report

and closure report capture data for the performance mapping of an SP from other things.

2. SERVICING:

RM database,SP database and Deferral tracking reports are ,meant to capture data on the

service component of the product and facilitate the bank to the concerned person so that

unnecessary delay and inconvenience to the customer can be avoided while complying

with the norms.

3. RISK MITIGATION:

SP collateral security database, Price cap and margin along with Disbursement report,

Outstanding Report and Closure Report are meant to capture data related to risk

assessment of the client to ensure that at no point of time their financials move into a high

risk category.

4. MONITORING:

Disbursement report, outstanding report ,Closure report, Deferral tracking report are

generated to ensure proper monitoring of the client’s credit behavior and flow of funds.

5. PRODUCT DESIGN:

This is one area which is not given ample attention by the existing MIS,despite bank’s

objectives clearly listing it as apriority area.There should be a provision of generating a

report by collating the credit needs of different categories of clients so that it can be used

by the product team to come up with new loan products keeping in mind the bank’s

norms and guidelines as well as the customers’ needs.

IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED:

The nature of the credit need over here is such that there is a special requirement of the

timely processing and disbursement of the loan. The completion in the banking and

financial services industry is ,apart from other things ,time based competition. But the

process of exception reporting while examining and verifying the application documents

is not automated. It is done through emails and telephonic conversations which account

for unnecessary delays in processing of the applications and in some cases it results not

only in loss of customer but also creates bad vibes in the market.

It is therefore ,proposed that the process of exception reporting during various stages of

the application processing be automated so that reports are automatically generated and

mailed to the applicant, concerned RMs and SPs for timely rectification/ explanation.

This automation should also have a timeline for the processing of the application and

once the timeline has elapsed ,a report should be generated mentioning the pending cases

and sent to the persons concerned for speedy dispensation on a high priority.

At the same time the reports of outstanding liabilities and deferrals like renewal of

insurance ,etc should be mailed to the customer as well, once they have been generated

mentioning the pending cases and sent to the persons concerned for speedy dispensation

on a high priority .

At the same time the reports of outstanding liabilities and deferrals like renewal of

insurance etc should be mailed to the customer as well, once they have been generated by

the system which is not being done so far. Customers are being informed by bank

officials after they receive the report and , and sometimes they do not get enough time to

make the necessary arrangements.

LIMITATIONS:

1.The nature of documents involved is such that there is a need to involve different

departments having the necessary expertise and experience for verification /checking of

different documents making it difficult to go for the complete automation of the process.

2.Bank’s tie up with insurance companies also poses a serious limitation to the automatic

emailing and SMS alerts ,as done in retail banking by the name of INSTALERT,to the

customer in case of deferrals and insurance lapses.The reason for this is that if the

customer receives the automatic alerts then he may get his stock insurance renewed

through some insurance player ,other than the one with which bank has a tie

up.Perhaps ,he gets some monetary gain in terms of a lower premium or has a relatively

high comfort level with the insurance agent in terms of service but bank has its own

parameters and standards which the insurer must be aware of and follow strictly.For the

same reason the bank would rather prefer to keep the insurance issue in its own hands and

ensure that the insurance service provider with whom it has a tie up manages it.

CONCLUSION:

Thus would not be wrong to say that MIS is lifeblood of any organization enabling it to

perform effectively and ensuring profitability. In case of a bank or a financial institution,

it assumes a relatively higher importance because of compliance issues ,convenience of

anytime and anywhere and the wide range of risks involved as more and more

transactions and [processes become online. At the same time, with the way we do

business which is undergoing a rapid change ,it is really a tough and challenging job to

automate and structure the entire process flow especially in a product like credit facility

which needs to be customized for different customers even if it is designed for the same

purpose. Inspite of this automation of the information and process flow can reduce the

risk and cost of credit to a great extent and catalyze the overall development of society.
