INDEX

Executive Summary

The pace of development for the Indian banking industry has been tremendous over the past decade. As the

world reels from the global financial meltdown, India’s banking sector has been one of the very few to actually

maintain resilience while continuing to provide growth opportunities, a feat unlikely to be matched by other

developed markets around the world. FICCI conducted a survey on the Indian Banking Industry to assess the

competitive advantage offered by the banking sector, as well as the policies and structures required to further

stimulate the pace of growth.2

1. A majority of the respondents, almost 69% of them, felt that the Indian banking Industry was in a very

good to excellent shape, with a further 25% feeling it was in good shape and only 6.25% of the

respondents feeling that the performance of the industry was just average.

2. This optimism is reflected in the fact that 53.33% of respondents were confident in a growth rate of 15-

20% for the banking industry in 2009-10 and a greater than 20% growth rate for 2014-15.

3. Some of the major strengths of the Indian banking industry, which makes it resilient in the current

economic climate as highlighted by our survey were regulatory system (93.75%), economic growth

(75%), and relative insulation from external market (68.75%).

4. Respondents perceived ever rising customer expectations and risk management as the greatest challenge

for the industry in the current climate.

5. 93.75% of our respondents saw expansion of operations as important in the future, with branch

expansion and strategic alliances the most important organic and inorganic means for global expansion

respectively.

6. An overwhelming 80% of respondents admitted that the primary strength of NBFCs over banks lies in

their ability to provide reach to the last mile and were also were unanimous in the need to strengthen

NBFCs further.

7. Further, 81.25% also felt that there was further scope for new entrants in the market, as there continue to

remain opportunities in unbanked areas. However, 57.14% felt that NBFCs may be allowed to be

established as banking institutions but only if adequate capitalization levels, a tiered license that enables

new entrants to enter into specific areas of the business only after satisfactorily achieving set milestones

for the prior stages, cap on promoter's holdings and other regulatory limitations are ensured.

Banking Industry in India

3

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 Bank of Hindustan, which started in 1790; both 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.

Nationalization

Despite the provisions, control and regulations of Reserve Bank of India, banks in India except the State Bank

of India or SBI, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. By the 1960s, the Indian banking

industry had become an important tool to facilitate the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it

had emerged as a large employer, and a debate had ensued about the nationalization of the banking

industry. Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, expressed the intention of the Government of India in the

4

annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper entitled "Stray thoughts on Bank

Nationalisation." The meeting received the paper with enthusiasm.

Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden. The Government of India issued an ordinance and nationalised the

14 largest commercial banks with effect from the midnight of July 19, 1969. Jayaprakash Narayan, a national

leader of India, described the step as a "masterstroke of political sagacity." Within two weeks of the issue of the

ordinance, the Parliament passed the Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertaking) Bill, and it

received the presidential approval on 9 August 1969.

A second dose of nationalization of 6 more commercial banks followed in 1980. The stated reason for the

nationalization was to give the government more control of credit delivery. With the second dose of

nationalization, the Government of India controlled around 91% of the banking business of India. Later on, in

the year 1993, the government merged New Bank of India with Punjab National Bank. It was the only merger

between nationalized banks and resulted in the reduction of the number of nationalized banks from 20 to 19.

After this, until the 1990s, the nationalized banks grew at a pace of around 4%, closer to the average growth rate

of the Indian economy.

Some insights about Banking Industry

The growth in the Indian Banking Industry has been more qualitative than quantitative and it is expected to

remain the same in the coming years. Based on the projections made in the "India Vision 2020" prepared by the

Planning Commission and the Draft 10th Plan, the report forecasts that the pace of expansion in the balance-

sheets of banks is likely to decelerate. The total assets of all scheduled commercial banks by end-March

2010 is estimated at Rs 40,90,000 crores. That will comprise about 65 per cent of GDP at current market

5

prices as compared to 67 per cent in 2002-03. Bank assets are expected to grow at an annual composite rate

of 13.4 per cent during the rest of the decade as against the growth rate of 16.7 per cent that existed

between 1994-95 and 2002-03. It is expected that there will be large additions to the capital base and

reserves on the liability side. 

The Indian Banking Industry can be categorized into non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks.

Scheduled banks constitute of commercial banks and co-operative banks. There are about 67,000 branches

of Scheduled banks spread across India. As far as the present scenario is concerned the Banking Industry in

India is going through a transitional phase. 

The Public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are the base of the Banking sector in India account for more than

78 per cent of the total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are burdened with excessive Non

Performing assets (NPAs), massive manpower and lack of modern technology. On the other hand the Private

Sector Banks are making tremendous progress. They are leaders in Internet banking, mobile banking, phone

banking, ATMs. As far as foreign banks are concerned they are likely to succeed in the Indian Banking

Industry. 

In the Indian Banking Industry some of the Private Sector Banks operating are IDBI Bank, ING Vyasa

Bank,SBI Commercial and International Bank Ltd, Bank of Rajasthan Ltd. and banks from the Public Sector

include Punjab National bank, Vijaya Bank, UCO Bank, Oriental Bank, Allahabad Bank among others. ANZ

Grindlays Bank, ABN-AMRO Bank, American Express Bank Ltd, Citibank are some of the foreign banks

operating in the Indian Banking Industry.

HISTORY OF ICICI Bank

In 1955, The Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India Limited (ICICI) was incorporated at the

initiative of World Bank, the Government of India and representatives of Indian industry, with the objective of

creating a development financial institution for providing medium-term and long-term project financing to

Indian businesses. In 1994, ICICI established Banking Corporation as a banking subsidiary. Formerly known as

Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India, ICICI Banking Corporation was later renamed as 'ICICI

Bank Limited'. ICICI founded a separate legal entity, ICICI Bank, to undertake normal banking operations -

taking deposits, credit cards, car loans etc. In 2001, ICICI acquired Bank of Madura (est. 1943). Bank of

Madura was a Chettiar bank, and had acquired Chettinad Mercantile Bank (est. 1933) and Illanji

Bank (established 1904) in the 1960s. In 2002, The Boards of Directors of ICICI and ICICI Bank approved the

reverse merger of ICICI, ICICI Personal Financial Services Limited and ICICI Capital Services Limited, into

ICICI Bank. After receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, ICICI integrated the group's financing and

9

banking operations, both wholesale and retail, into a single entity. At the same time, ICICI started its

international expansion by opening representative offices in New York and London. In India, ICICI Bank

bought the Shimla and Darjeeling branches that Standard Chartered Bank had inherited when it

acquired Grindlays Bank.

In 2003, ICICI opened subsidiaries in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK), and in the UK it established an

alliance with Lloyds TSB. It also opened an Offshore Banking Unit (OBU) in Singapore and representative

offices in Dubai and Shanghai. In 2004, ICICI opened a representative office in Bangladesh to tap the extensive

trade between that country, India and South Africa. In 2005, ICICI acquired Investitsionno-Kreditny Bank

(IKB), a Russia bank with about US$4mn in assets, head office in Balabanovo in the Kaluga region, and with a

branch in Moscow. ICICI renamed the bank ICICI Bank Eurasia. Also, ICICI established a branch

in Dubai International Financial Centre and in Hong Kong. In 2006, ICICI Bank UK opened a branch

in Antwerp, in Belgium. ICICI opened representative offices in Bangkok, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur. In 2007,

ICICI amalgamated Sangli Bank, which was headquartered in Sangli, in Maharashtra State, and which had 158

branches in Maharashtra and another 31 in Karnataka State. Sangli Bank had been founded in 1916 and was

particularly strong in rural areas. With respect to the international sphere, ICICI also received permission from

the government of Qatar to open a branch in Doha. Also, ICICI Bank Eurasia opened a second branch, this time

in St. Petersburg. In 2008, The US Federal Reserve permitted ICICI to convert its representative office in New

York into a branch. ICICI also established a branch in Frankfurt. In 2009, ICICI made huge changes in its

organisation like elimination of loss making department and re streching outsourced staff or renegotiate their

charges in consequent to the recession. In addition to this, ICICI adopted a massive approach aims for cost

control and cost cutting. In consequent of it, compensation to staff was not increased and no bonus declared for

2008-09.

On 23 May ICICI Bank announced that it would merge with Bank of Rajasthan through a share-swap in a non-

cash deal that values the Bank of Rajasthan at about  3,000 crore. ICICI announced that the merger expand

ICICI Bank's branch network by 25%.

Methodology:

18

The present study of Banks is based on CAMEL Methodology, which evaluates each and every component that is of prime importance from the functioning of the Bank’s perspective. The model examines the efficiency of banks among these important parameters like Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management, Earnings Quality and Liquidity of Indian Banks which are categorized into Indian Public Sector Banks and Indian Private Sector Banks.

Finding & Analysis:

Camel Model

I) Capital Adequacy

Capital adequacy reflects the overall financial position of a bank and also the ability of the management to meet

the need for additional capital requirement.

A) Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR)

CAR reflects the ability of a bank to deal with probable loan defaults. The RBI guidelines stipulate banks to

maintain a CAR of minimum 9%. It is arrived at by dividing the Tier I and Tier II capital by risk-weighted

assets. Tier I capital includes equity capital and free reserves. Tier II capital comprises subordinated debt of 5-

7 year tenure. The stronger will be the bank if the CAR is higher.

TIER 1 CAPITAL -A) Equity Capital, B) Disclosed Reserves

TIER 2 CAPITAL -A) Undisclosed Reserves, B)General Loss reserves, C)Subordinate Term Debts

Where Risk can either be weighted assets ( ) or the respective national regulator's minimum

total capital requirement

B) Debt-Equity Ratio (D/E)

Debt-Equity Ratio is arrived at by dividing the total borrowings and deposits by shareholders’ net worth, which

includes equity capital and reserves and surpluses.

The Debt to Equity ratio is used for measuring solvency, and researching the capital structure of the company. It

indicates how much the company is leveraged (in debt) by comparing what is owed to what is owned. In other

words it measures the company’s ability to borrow and repay money.

19

The debt to equity ratio is closely watched by creditors and investors, because it reveals the extent to which

company management is willing to fund its operations with debt, rather than equity.

C) Advances to Assets (ADV/AST)

This is the ratio of the Total Advances to Total Assets. Total Advances also include receivables. The value of

Total Assets excludes the revaluations of all the assets.

Interpretation:

ICICI Bank 19.14 1.85 62 15.92 1,86 57.47

Capital Adequacy Ratio: As we can see from the table above, SBI’s CAR is increased from 12.97% in 2009 to 13.39% in 2010 which seems to be good but ICICI Bank’s CAR has increased from 15.92% in 2009 to 19.14% in 2010, which is far better than SBI. The minimum CAR which banks have to maintain is 9% as per RBI’s Guidelines. Both the banks have maintained CAR above 9%. ICICI Bank has better ability to deal with probable loan defaults. Hence ICICI is better as far as CAR is concerned.

Debt-Equity Ratio: The Debt-Equity ratio of SBI is 1.45 in 2009 as compared to 1.51 in 2010 while ICICI Bank has 1.86 in 2009 as compared to 1.85 in 2010. The debt-equity ratio should be as low as possible. Here we can say that the borrowings of the SBI are less than their deposits are concerned, which is a good sign. We can interpret from the ratio that the SBI is better than ICICI Bank mainly in terms of debt-equity ratio because of lower borrowings and high deposits.

Advances to Asset Ratio: An advance to Assets ratio is reflects a bank’s positions and risk taking ability in lending funds. A higher Advances/Asset ratio shows that the bank is aggressively lending fund and vice versa. A general perception has been that private sector banks are more aggressive lenders as compared to their public sector counterparts. In the table above, we can say that the SBI’s Advances to Asset Ratio has increased from 56.52% in 2009 to 60% in 2010 while ICICI Bank’s Ratio has increased from 57.47% to 62%. It is clear that ICICI Bank has high risk taking ability, Hence ICICI Bank is better in Advances to Asset Ratio as far is SBI is concerned.

II) Asset Quality

20

The asset quality is to ascertain the proportion of non-performing assets as a percentage of the total assets .It

also ascertains the NPA movement and the amount locked up in investments as a percentage of the total assets.

How to calculate NPAs:

Gross NPA – (Balance in Interest Suspense account + DICGC/ECGC claims received and held pending adjustment + Part payment received and kept in suspense account + Total provisions held).

A. Net NPAs to Total Assets (NNPAs/TA)

It is a measure of the quality of assets in a situation where the management has not provided for loss on

NPAs.

B. Net NPAs to Net Advances (NNPAs/NA)

Net NPAs are Gross NPAs net of provisions on NPAs and suspense account.

C. Percentage change in Net NPAs

This measure gives the movement in Net NPAs in relation to Net NPAs in the previous year. The higher

the reduction in Net NPA levels, the better it is for the bank.

Asset Quality: An NPA (Non Performing Assets) is an asset, including a leased asset, becomes non-performing when it ceases to generate income from the bank. The Net NPAs to Total Assets ratio indicates us how much Non Performing Assets the bank has to their Total Assets in balance sheet. It is believed that lower the better for the banks in the case of Asset Quality Ratios.

21

The Net NPAs to Total Assets of SBI has increased from 0.99 to 1.72 in 2009 and 2010 respectively which is not a good indication for the bank while ICICI Bank has successfully reduced its Net NPAs to Total Assets from 1.2 to 0.1 in 2009 and 2010 respectively.

The Net NPAs to Net Advances Ratio indicates how much Non-performing assets the bank has to their Total Advances. The Net NPAs to Net Advances (%) is reduced from 1.76% to 1.72% for SBI while the Net NPAs to Net Advances (%) for ICICI Bank has increased a bit from 2.09 to 2.12 in 2009 and 2010 respectively. Here SBI is better than ICICI Bank in maintaining their NPAs to Net Advances (%) are concerned. Here the ICICI Bank ratio has increased mainly either because of higher NPAs or lower Net Advances as compared to their previous year.

The Third Ratio i.e. Percentage change in Net NPAs for SBI is 13.8% in year 2009-10 while the Percentage change in Net NPAs for ICICI Bank is 15.65%. Here it indicates that SBI has increased its NPAs by 13.8% from the previous year while ICICI Bank has increased its NPAs by 15.65% from the previous year. Hence we can say SBI is better than ICICI Bank as far as controlling of Increase in NPAs on a yearly basis.

III) Management Efficiency

Refers to the efficiency of the Management in managing the bank, in all the ratios higher the better:

A Total Advances to Total Deposits (TA/TD)

This ratio measures the efficiency of the management in converting the deposits available with the bank

(excluding other funds like equity capital, etc.) into advances.

B Profit per Employee (PPE)

This measures the efficiency of the employee. It is arrived at by dividing the net profit of the bank by total

number of employees. Higher the ratio means higher the efficiency of the management.

C Return on Net Worth (RoNW)

It is a measure of the profitability of a bank.

The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity measures a

corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have

invested.

ROE is expressed as a percentage and calculated as:

Return on Equity = Net Income/Shareholder’s Equity

Net income is for the full fiscal year (before dividends paid to common stock holders but after dividends to

preferred stock). Shareholder’s equity does not include preferred shares.

It is also known as “Return on net worth” (RONW).

ICICI Bank 89.7 0.11 7.79 99.98 0.11 6.97

From the table above, we can say that ICICI Bank is better able to convert its Advances to Deposits while SBI

Bank has not done really well in this ratio from 2009 to 2010. But ICICI Bank is having an edge over SBI in

this ratio. The Ratio of Total Advances to Total Deposits (%) has increased by 73.1% in 2009 to 78.58% in

2010 for SBI while ICICI Bank’s Total Advances to Total Deposits was 99.98% in 2009 which is reduced to

89.7% in 2010.

Profit per employee of SBI is far lower than ICICI Bank mainly because of huge no. of employees in SBI as

compared to ICICI Bank. The profit per employee of SBI is 0.02 in 2009 as well as in 2010 but the profit for

employee of ICICI Bank is 0.11 in both the years.

Return on net worth is definitely higher by good margin of SBI, but the SBI’s return on Net worth is reduced a

bit from 15.74% in 2009 to 15.45% in 2010 while the ICICI Bank has increased its Return on Net worth from

6.97% in 2009 to 7.79% in 2010.

On the whole we can say that except for profit per employee (because of Huge No. of Branches & Employees

for SBI) SBI tops in the management efficiency from ICICI Bank.

IV) Earnings Efficiency:

Much of a bank’s income is earned through non-core activities like investments, treasury operations, and

corporate advisory services and so on.

23

A Percentage Growth in Net Profit

It is the percentage change in net profit over the previous year.

B Net Interest Margin (NIM)

Net Interest Margin (NIM) is defined as the difference between interest earned and interest expended as a

proportion of average total assets.

Interest income includes dividend income. Interest expended includes interest paid on deposits, loans from

RBI, and other short-term and long-term loans.

C Non-interest Income/Working Funds (NII/WF)

This measures the income from operations other than lending as a percentage of working funds.

Working funds: These are total resources (total liabilities or total assets) of a bank as on a particular date. Total

resources include capital, reserves and surplus, deposits, borrowings, other liabilities and provision. A high

AWF (Avg. Working Fund) shows a bank’s total resources strength. There is a school of theory which

maintains that working funds are equal to aggregate deposits plus borrowing. However, more pragmatic view in

consonance with capital adequacy calculations is, to include all resources and not just deposits and borrowings.

ICICI Bank 1.08   1.93 2.09 -15.91 2.66 1.98

A bank’s earnings quality reflects its profitability and sustainability of the same. From the table above, we can

directly say that the Earning Efficiency of SBI has increased while the earning efficiency of ICICI Bank came

to positive from negative year earlier. The Percentage growth in Net Profit of SBI has increased from 35.55% in

2009 to 49% 2010. While ICICI Bank’s profitability which was negative (-15.91%) in 2009 has performed bit

better to 1.08% this year i.e. 2010. We can say that SBI Bank for the year 2010 is better from ICICI Bank.

24

Net Interest Margin (NIM) is basically Interest Earned minus Interest Expended on the proportion of Total

Assets. The NIM (%) of both the companies has reduced from 2009 to 2010. The NIM (%) of SBI is reduced

from 2.93% in 2009 to 1.43% in 2010 while ICICI Bank’s NIL (%) is reduced from 2.66% in 2009 to 1.93% in

2010. It is clear that the interest earned by these banks is reduced or we can say the interest expended on

deposits and borrowings has increased due to this the NIM (%) has reduced.

The non interest income is the income which is earned by the bank other than lending (core) activity. The Non interest income/working fund (%) ratio measures the income from operations other than lending as a percentage of working funds. From the table above, we can interpret that SBI’s Non Interest Income/Working Fund (%) is reduced from 1.45% in 2009 to 1.43% in 2010 while ICICI Bank’s Non Interest Income/Working Fund (%) is increased from 1.98% in 2009 to 2.09% in 2010. This is mainly because ICICI is concentrating also on Merchant Banking, Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Underwriter more than the SBI.

On the whole SBI is a clear winner as far as Non Interest Income/Working Fund (%) is concerned.

V) Liquidity:

A Liquid Assets/Demand Deposits (LA/DD)

This account allows you to "demand" your money at any time, unlike a term deposit, which cannot be accessed

for a predetermined period (the loan's term). 

This ratio measures the ability of a bank to meet the demand from demand deposits in a particular year. Higher

ratio is better for banks. A demand deposit or bank money refers to the funds held in demand deposit

accounts in commercial banks. These account balances are usually considered money and form the greater part

of the money supply of a country.

B Liquid Assets/Total Assets (LA/TA)

Liquid Assets include cash in hand, balance with RBI, balance with other banks (both in India and abroad), and money at call and short notice. The ratio is arrived by dividing liquid assets by total assets. Higher the ratio better it is.

C G-secs/Total Assets (G-Sec/TA)

This ratio measures the proportion of risk-free liquid assets invested in G-Secs as a percentage of the assets held by a bank and is arrived at by dividing liquid assets by total assets. Higher ratio indicates well for the bank.

ICICI Bank 125 11 19 138.53 13.55 16.71

Liquidity is the ability of the bank to meet its financial obligations. A high liquidity ratio indicates a bank’s comfort level vis-à-vis its ability to manage its obligations, both short-term as well as long-term. Liquidity of a bank can be measured using metrics such as Liquid Assets (LA) to Total Deposits (TD) and LA to Total Assets (TA), G-Sec to Total Assets, etc.

In Demand Deposit basically the customer can withdraw the money without any prior notice to depository, it is exactly opposite of term deposit where customer has to give proper notice, and follow the procedure to break the term deposit. We can see from the table that the liquid assets to demand deposits (%) of SBI have reduced from 94.27% to 78% in 2009 and 2010 respectively. The thing is same with ICICI Bank where the liquid assets to demand deposits (%) are reduced from 138.53% to 125% 2009 and 2010 respectively. We can say ICICI Bank is able to maintain its liquid assets are to demand deposits in greater percentage than SBI.

ICICI Bank has maintained higher Liquid Assets to Total Assets (%) than SBI. But as we can see from the table

that both the companies ratio is decreasing from year 2009 to 2010. SBI has reduced the figure from 10.82% in

2009 to 9% in 2010 while ICICI Bank has reduced this figure from 13.55% to 11%. Here ICICI Bank has an

edge over SBI as higher the better.

The liquid assets kept by ICICI Bank is more as compared from the last year, it seems that ICICI Bank is more

conservative than SBI from year 2009 to 2010. SBI has reduced the fund kept in G-Secs from 2009 to 2010

while ICICI Bank has increased the fund in risk free assets. This show ICICI Bank is conservative. Still SBI has

maintained an edge over ICIC Bank as far as this ratio is concerned.

Though the bank has been successful in increasing its deposits but to further improve upon such

situation it can introduce some new and attractive schemes for public. Such schemes can be in the form

of higher rate of interest and shorter maturity period for FD’s etc.

Net interest is increasing in 2009 but decreasing in 2010. Thus there is no stability in growth of

company. Company should reduce or make it competitive the interest on loans to make it attractive.

27

The bank is having a greater reliance on debt capital. The increasing reliance on external equities may

prove hazardous in the long run. So in order to remedy this situation bank should increase its focus on

internal equities and other sources of internal financing.

To achieve the objective of rural development it should open more and more branches in different rural

areas of the country. Bank can appoint commission agents for different area who can encourage general

public to invest in the capital of the bank and make more deposits in ICICI Bank.

I found that ICICI generates its major revenue from domestic market. It should increase its operation

outside India also.

NEWS RELEASE JANUARY 12, 2011

ICICI BANK & VODAFONE ESSAR INK PACT FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION

ICICI Bank Ltd, India’s largest private sector Bank and Vodafone Essar Ltd, one of the largest Mobile

Network Operators in India, today announced a joint

initiative to drive financial inclusion in the country. Under this tie-up, both entities will offer a bouquet of

financial products such as savings accounts, pre-paid instruments and credit products through a mobile phone

based platform.

This partnership is expected to bring the un-banked and under-banked population

into the organized financial services framework and assist in furthering the electronic payments market in India.

ICICI Bank will leverage the distribution strength of Vodafone, which manages over 1.5 million retail points for

acquiring customers and servicing them.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has over the past few years come out with various measures to

facilitate banks to achieve the financial inclusion agenda. RBI has allowed banks to appoint for-profit'

companies as Business Correspondents (BCs). This tie-up between ICICI Bank and Vodafone is a step in that

direction.

The Indian government has been actively pursuing the agenda for inclusive growth to ensure that benefits of the

exponential growth phase reach all the sections of the

Society. To this effect, financial inclusion has been an important goal that aims to

provide access to basic financial services to each and every individual across the

country. Such access is essential to initiate growth in the hitherto un-banked sections of the society, eventually

resulting in improvement in the per capita household income and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the

country.

Speaking on the alliance, Ms. Chanda Kochhar, Managing Director & CEO, ICICI Bank Ltd said, “We are very

excited about the partnership with Vodafone, which will help ICICI Bank in deepening its base within the

country. Mobile penetration is growing exponentially in the country of which the rural market forms a major

contributor.There is a huge potential for offering mobile banking in these regions, which will facilitate access to

30

the financially excluded parts of the society and ensure that benefits from various welfare and growth programs

of the government reach them along with other financial services and products. Vodafone, with its innovative

and customer focus initiatives, is an ideal partner who will help in furthering the cause of financial inclusion in

India”.

Mr. Marten Pieters, Managing Director & CEO, Vodafone Essar, commented “the RBI move to

allow for-profit companies to be Business Correspondents is a welcome move that will enable the population

better access to financial services. With our reach and ability to connect to customers, we are uniquely

positioned to aid the financial inclusion agenda of the Government of India and RBI. We are pleased to work

with ICICI Bank, which has always strived to offer innovative products to its customers.”

Both parties will work out the specific arrangements chart out a go-to-market plan.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

Don’t having any practical knowledge of doing financial analysis

The analysis and interpretation are based on secondary data contained in the published annual reports of

ICICI group for the study period, Research Papers, etc.
