Executive Summary
Alternate revenu e sources form a vital part of incom e for banks and banks are therefore looking forw ard tow ard s increasing their p rofitability throu gh these sou rces. Som e sou rces of fee incom e have been available to institu tions for many years, but have recently taken on a more dominant position in the overall financial m anagem ent strategies of banks. These inclu d e d eposit service charges, cred it card fees, fees associated w ith electronic fu nd s transfer, d emat etc. Althou gh banks have m ad e significant head w ay in generating trad itional fee incom e, for banks to rem ain com petitive w ith other financial institu tions, they need to expand their prod u ct bread th and to im prove sales, relationships, servicing, and investment know-how.

N ew types of activities that generate fee incom e includ e secu rities brokerage, film financing, equ ity participation in bu siness, real estate brokerage services, real estate d evelop m ent, real estate equ ity participation, and insu rance brokerage activities. Banks also receive fee incom e from a nu m ber of offbalance sheet items including loan commitments, note issuance facilities, letters of cred it, foreign exchange services, and d erivative activities (contracts for futures, forwards, interest rate swaps, and other derivative contracts)

The essential fu nction of a bank is to provid e services related to the storing of valu e and the extend ing cred it becau se bank is a financial institu tion that provides banking and other financial services

Banks can d iffer m arked ly in their sou rces of incom e. Som e focus on bu siness lend ing, som e on hou sehold lend ing, and som e on fee-earning activities. Increasingly, how ever, m ost banks are d iversifying into fee-earning activities.

http://troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/ | http://www.final-yearprojects.co.cc/

Traditionally fee income has been very stable; but, also traditionally, it has been a small part of the earnings stream of most banks. Althou gh the type of services offered by a bank depends upon the type of bank and the country, services provided usually include: Directly take d eposits from the general p u blic and issu e Savings accounts and Current accounts Earning specials like the fixed deposits, recurring deposits. Lend out money to companies and individuals Issue credit cards, ATM, and debit cards Online banking and Internet banking Storage of valuables, particularly in a safe deposit box Granting loans. Bu t in the cu rrent scenario w ith im m ense com petition the banks have to look far beyond the trad itional practice. Cu stom ers look for one stop financial solu tion so the only solu tion left w ith the banks is to d iversify. The interest rates are d ecreasing so banks have to look for alternate sou rces to generate revenu e. Also the lend ing & borrow ing rates are red u cing d ay after d ay. Therefore the banks are going in for investment and advisory services, portfolio m anagem ent d epository services, d ebit/ cred it card s etc. The alternate revenu e generating sources of IDBI Bank, which will be dealt in detail, are Banc assurance Mutual funds Locker Facility RBI Bonds Forex Demand Drafts/Bankers Cheque Demat Services.

Banking scenario of Fee based income

Private Banks lead p u blic sector banks in generating fee Incom e. Ind ian banks are heavily reliant on interest incom e, w hich accou nts for over 80% of their total incom e. At present, w ith the red u ction in interest rates banks are expected to d iversify their incom e profile so that the cu rrent levels of non-interest incom e may be m aintained . The fee incom e of banks arises m ainly from commission, brokerage and exchange transactions.

Fee Income Profile of the entire banking sector

Source: www.icraindia.com

We see from the above graph 2.1 the fee based income for the entire banking scenario for the period 2000-2004. The incom e earned from com m ission, exchange & brokerage is 42%, 50%, 55% and 60% for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively. Incom e from Exchange transaction is the sam e for the first three years bu t is fou nd d ecreasing in 2004. H ow ever other incom e of the banks is increasing in 2004.

Incom e on exchange transactions has trad itionally been high in the case of pu blic sector banks, reflecting their high off-balance sheet activities, prim arily

execu tion of d erivatives and forw ard exchange contracts. Over the last tw o years, pu blic sector banks have also reported su bstantial foreign exchange incom e on the strength of the higher d em and for foreign cu rrency fu nd s from corporate entities, and banks access to foreign cu rrency fu nd s. Of late, private banks have also begun leveraging their balance sheet and cou ld pose a strong com petitive threat to their pu blic sector cou nterparts on this front. Significantly, pu blic sector banks have been losing m arket share in the areas of exchange, com m ission and brokerage to private sector banks over the last few years. Du ring the last few years, private sector banks have grow n in size, and this has served to reinforce their fee income profile.

CAGR of Fee Income of the following banks

An analysis of the fee incom es of the top three pu blic sector banks (Pu njab N ational Bank, Canara Bank and Bank of Ind ia) and five private sector banks (ICICI Bank, H DFC Bank, IDBI Bank, UTI Bank and IDBI Bank) reveals the following: CAGR of Fee Income

Source: www.icraindia.com

From the above graph 2.2 ICICI Bank s CAGR is the highest as com pared to the other banks, follow ed by H DFC Bank, IDBI Bank, UTI Bank and last IDBI Bank

12

http://troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/ | http://www.final-yearprojects.co.cc/

w ith a CAGR of arou nd 10% w hich is alm ost sam e as Canara bank. Bank of India has a slightly higher CAGR ie, of around 12%. PNB has the least CAGR of about 5%. However CAGR of these banks are expected to rise in the near future

The analysis exclu d es State Bank of Ind ia (SBI) because of its very large size and the sp ecial relationship it has w ith the Governm ent of Ind ia (GoI), both of which have enabled the bank to generate very high fee-based income.

Fee Income Profile for Private and Public Sector Banks

Source: www.icraindia.com

Graph revels that the absolu te fee incom e of the pu blic sector banks is expected ly higher than that of their private sector, becau se of the higher scale of operations of the form er. The proportion of exchange and brokerage as a percentage of the total fee income is higher for the private banks. Fee income as a percentage of the average total assets is higher for private banks. The rate of grow th in fee incom e is significantly higher for private sector banks. The better position of private sector banks on the fee incom e front m ay be attribu ted to their larger prod u ct offerings and their technology platform s, w hich are better geared to provide customized solutions to customers.

13

http://troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/ | http://www.final-yearprojects.co.cc/

Som e of the recent d evelopm ents that have enabled the private banks increase their fee incomes are:

1. Thru st on retail grow th that generates fee incom e in the form of processing fees. 2. Leveraging of technology to w id en cu stom er base for prod u cts su ch as credit cards, debit cards 3. Automated teller machine (ATM) cards. 4. Strong focus on cash management activities on behalf of corporate clients. 5. Increase in non-fu nd based exposu res to corporate clients in the form of letters of cred it strategies. Market Share of Commission, Exchange & brokerage and gu arantees by the ad option of aggressive pricing

Graph revels that there has been an increase in the m arket share of Com m ission, Exchange & brokerage becau se of the increase in sales and d istribu tion of m u tu al fu nd s, insu rance prod u cts, bond s of pu blic sector institu tions/ banks, GOI relief bond s, etc. Increase in focus on m and ates for hand ling Governm ent bu siness, prim arily collection of d irect and ind irect taxes, w hich is highly rem u nerative and increase in off-balance sheet activities,

A Mu tu al Fu nd is a tru st that p ools the savings of a nu m ber of investors w ho share a com m on financial goal.

Working of Mutual fund

3.1.1 Why IDBI Bank should sell Mutual Funds

In tod ay s econom ic scenario w herein the interest rate of saving going d own the cu stomers are looking at other sou rces of investment throu gh w hich they can get a good rate of retu rn w ith a nom inal risk. Instead of loosing the cu stom er to som eone else the banks itself are offering this prod u cts at their branches. And Mu tual fu nd is one instru m ent, w hich is catching the fancy of the investors.

Mu tu al fu nd s are consid ered as the investm ent avenu e. People alw ays look for a higher retu rn. The banks are no longer giving the retu rns they once u sed to give and there is hard ly any chance of the interest rates going u p. So if one w ants higher retu rns one has to invest in shares. Bu t one d oes not have the expertise to invest. If one w ants to m inim ize the risk one has to d iversify the portfolio. Bu t for d iversification one need s hu ge am ou nt of m oney that one m ay not have. At this point one can tu rn to Mu tu al fu nd s for they provid e 22

expertise to invest in the stock m arket and also d ebt instru m ents. The fu nd m anager d ecid es w here to invest and w hy. The investor can select a schem e accord ing to his investm ent need s and risk appetite. Most of the fu nd s give an ind icative rate before investing and the retu rns eventu ally get close to the return indicated.

IDBI bank helps one to plan their investments and build a healthy mutual fund portfolio, w hich w ou ld be an optim al solu tion for all need s. Cu ltivating an investm ent cu ltu re w ill not only help the cu stom er bu t also their fam ily. And IDBI Bank gives highest priority to all customer needs.

Besid es sale of Mu tu al fu nd s can serve all one of the best revenue generating incom e for the bank. Presently the bank earns 1 - 2% on m u tu al fu nd schem es. IDBI bank offers a w id e range of m u tu al fu nd prod u cts of variou s com panies like HDFC, ICICI, UTI, HSBC, Reliance mutual funds etc

Risk Factors: All the investments in the securities market are subject to market risks and the N AV of schem es/ plans m ay go u p or d ow n d epend ing u pon the factors and forces affecting securities market. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future.

Performance of IDBI Margao Branch in Mutual Funds Sale. IDBI margao was one of the first banks, which caught the pulse of its customers in the tow n for Investm ent in Mu tu al Fu nd s and tod ay is a strong force to reckon with when it comes to investment in Mutual Funds.

In the norm al cou rse of business the bank is able to generate a collection of arou nd 5-10 lakhs and d u ring the tim e of N FO s from variou s fu nd hou ses it is able to generate additional 10-15 lakhs on an average.

The Bank generates m axim u m revenu e from the sale of Mu tu al Fu nd s in the Bank and has got som e d ed icated cu stomers w ho invest only throu gh IDBI Bank. For this the bank has got its staff trained so as to u nd erstand the need s of the customers and offer them the products accordingly.

Sale of RBI Bonds

IDBI bank offers RBI bond s (GOI bond s). These bond s are fu lly taxable. The bonds were issued in cumulative and non-cumulative form, at the option of the investor.

The Bond bears interest at the rate of 8% per annu m . Interest on noncu m u lative bond s w ill be payable at half-yearly intervals. Interest on cu m u lative bond s w ill be com pou nd ed w ith half-yearly rests and w ill be payable on m atu rity along w ith the principal. These investm ents are for long term period and therefore have no liqu id ity. Su bscription to the Bond s can be in the form of Cash/Drafts/Cheques.

The money is locked for 6 years but one is guaranteed of the safety and returns. The Bond s shall be repayable on the expiry of 6 (Six) years from the d ate of issu e. N o interest w ou ld accru e after the matu rity of the Bond . There w ill be no maximum limit for investment in the Bonds.

Revenue From Sale of RBI Bonds. IDBI is one of the m ain d istribu tors for RBI Bond s in Ind ia. The earn a revenu e of 2% on the am ou nt collected . As it is one of the m ain d istribu tors it has su b agents w ho d istribu tors for the sale of Bond s in su ch scenario they have part with a part of the revenue to them.

Bu t since the tim e the retu rns on the bond s have becom e taxable they have lost the sight of the investors, w ho now look at other sou rces for investm ent w here they can get a tax-free retu rn. As su ch the contribu tion of RBI bond s in the revenue basket has come down.

Bancasssurance.

Banc assu rance plays in m ajor role in the alternate sou rce of revenu e for the banks in tod ay s d ay. The bank has got a Tie u p w ith Birla Su n Life Insu rance for the d istribu tion of Life Insu rance prod u cts and w ith Bajaj Allianz General Insurance for the distribution of General Insurance Products.

Banc assurance - A SWOT Analysis on IDBI Bank Strengths IDBI Bank greatest strength lies in a hu ge pool of skilled professionals. There is a hu ge potential for insu rance and the bank is m aking the best u se of its interpersonal relationship w ith its loyal cu stom ers, as there is a vast u ntapped potential waiting to be mined particularly for life insurance products. Since both bank and Life Insu rance Com pany approach the sam e segm ents of popu lation, the sam e contact can be u sed to arrange for both bank d eposits and life insu rance. It creates a com petitive ad vantage throu gh cross selling synergy. This not only helps in saving of infrastru ctu re costs and generates incom e for the bank bu t also helps in retaining cu stom ers for a longer tim e. It is also possible to d evelop a com posite prod u ct that com bines the elem ents of bank deposits and insurance. Weaknesses Internet connection and other infrastru ctu ral facilities are not available to som e of the managers of operating offices.

People entru sted w ith banc assu rance are relu ctant to w ork beyond office hou rs, or on holid ays like an ind ivid u al agent, w hich m ay resu lt in hard ship to the bank and insu rance com pany. At tim es d u e to transfer of officers to other branches there are instances w hen the cu stom er has to either interact w ith u ntrained personnel or no personnel in the absence of proper succession planning. Another d raw back is the inflexibility of the prod u cts i.e. it cannot be tailor m ad e to the requ irem ents of the cu stomer. For Banc assu rance ventu re to su cceed it is extrem ely essential to have in-bu ilt flexibility so as to m ake the product attractive to the customer. Opportunities Banks' d atabase is enorm ou s. This d atabase has to be d issected variou sly and variou s hom ogeneou s grou ps are to be chu rned ou t in ord er to position the Banc assurance prod u cts. One im portant opportu nity is health insu rance especially financing the medical needs of the aged. Threats The m ain threat for banc assu rance is the im m ense com petition prevailing today. For instance LIC, Prudential ICICI, etc are doing far better than Birla Sun Life Insurance. The m ost com m on obstacles to su ccess are lack of a sales cu ltu re w ithin the bank, insu fficient prod u ct prom otions, failu re to integrate m arketing plans, poor sales channel linkages, inad equ ate incentives, resistance to change, negative attitudes toward insurance and unwieldy marketing strategy.
