IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS OF THE
BANKING SECTOR ICICI remains the largest private sector lender private sector banks have a low stable NPA level at 2.26% which has
been rising marginally owing to the higher interest rates and tightmonetary policy
Capitalisation levels of public sector banks remained under controlowing to the strong capital infusion by the Government of India of overRs 150 billion
The levels remained much above the required levels of 6% and 9% fortier 1 capital and CRAR.
private banks maintain a better capitalization levels of around 16%whereas the public sector banks maintained it around 13%. Howeverdue to continuous government support via capital infusion enables thepublic sector banks to maintain a minuimum tier 1 capital of 8%

IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS OF THE BANKING
SECTOR A steady decline in the non interest incomes of the banks have been witnessed due to lower trading
profits on the portfolio maintained by the bank. The declining yields from the government securities hasan adverse effect on the incomes of the banks from non interest areas.
Private sector banks have showed a positive improvement in the CASA share at 40.92% public sectorbanks on the other hand faced a decline in the same at a 33.01%. Out of which SBI has managed toshow better performance than the peer public sector banks with CASA at 42.09%
Savings account have made up 22-23% of total bank deposits and thus such an increase in the interestrate could put a pressure on the net interest margin by 8- 15 basis points.
The gross NPAs of all the banks first increase from 2.16% in march 09 to 2.31 in march 10 andmarginally decreased in march 11 to 2.26%. Private sector banks have showed a strong improvement inNPAs from 2.83% to 2.34%.
For all the banks the solvency ratio maintains a comfortable situation of 10% as on march 11 marginallybetter than the previous 10.77% . PSU were at a better position due to the equity infusion from thegovernment in many PSU banks. The ratio declined for SBI to 17.65% from 15.47% due to a substantialincrease in the NPA levels.
Presently out of the 42 banks 4 banks have capital adequacy less than 12% and 7 have their capitaladequacy ratios above 15%.
The average Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio improved to 9.24% from 9.11%, whereas the same declinedfor private sector banks marginally from 11.40% to 11.30%.

What are NBFCs?
Broadly speaking all such entities that offer financial servicesother than banking can be said to be Non Banking FinancialCompanies (NBFC).
such entities are not banks but yet carry lending activities at parwith banks. They may also accept public deposits howeverthese deposits are term deposits for a specific duration and
cant be withdrawn on demand of the public. NBFCs have been a topic of intense discussion and speculation
since their inception in the Indian system
The role of NBFCs as effective financial intermediaries hasbeen well recognised as they have inherent ability to takequicker decisions, assume greater risks, and customise theirservices and charges more according to the needs of the clients
The distinction between banks and NBFC has been graduallygetting blurred since both the segments of the financial systemengage themselves in many similar types of activities.

Growth of NBFCs
Simplified sanction procedures, flexibility and timelinessability to meet the credit needs and low cost operationalfunctions resulted in NBFCs getting an edge over thebanks in providing finance.

mop up public savings command large resources as reflected in the growth of
their deposits from public, shareholders, directors and
other companies, and borrowings by issue of non-convertible debentures etc

of NBFCs was 40% compared to a meagre 22% of banks Credit to retail underserved areas and to unbanked
customers of immense importance in the growth of theeconomy at large.

Definition of NBFC as per
RBI a company defined in the Companies Act of 1956 and also registered
under the provisions of Section 45-IA of the Reserve Bank of India Act1934,which provides banking services without meeting the legaldefinition of a bank such as holding bank license.

does not include any institution whose principal business is that ofagricultural activity or any industrial activity or sale, purchase orconstruction of immovable property.
In terms of the RB1 Act, 1934, registration of NBFCs with the RBI ismandatory, irrespective of whether they hold public deposits or not.

Requirements to be classified
as NBFC financial assets of a company are more than 50 per cent of its total
assets
and income from financial assets is more than 50 per cent of the grossincome
new credential was added in form of a requirement of an annualcertificate to be given by the auditor of the NBFC in support ofcommencement/continuance of business of NBFI and fulfilling thecriteria of principal business.
addition that such certificate shall also indicate the asset/incomepattern of the NBFC for making it eligible for classification as AssetFinance Company, Investment Company or Loan Company.
RBI granted Certificate of Registration (CoR) to new companies on thebasis of their intention to engage in the business of NBFI ( to minimizethe ambiguity of the COR auditors certificate is required to be filled at
every financial year ending) The asset-income criteria have become a tool in the hands of the RBI
to deprive the companies of their NBFC status on extraneous grounds.

ENTRY OF NEW BANKS
to ensure that the banking system grows in size andsophistication to meet the needs of a moderneconomy.
there is a need to extend the geographic coverage ofbanks and improve access to banking services.
greater financial system depth, stability andsoundness contribute to economic growth.
vast segments of the population, especially theunderprivileged sections of the society, have still noaccess to formal banking services.
larger number of banks would foster greatercompetition, and thereby reduce costs, and improvethe quality of service.

POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND
SOLUTIONSHaving a low minimum capital requirement (but more thanRs.300 crore)
Pros
attract those who are serious about participating in financialinclusion to set up banks.
may result in optimum utilization of capital from the beginning.
Cons may result in many non-serious entities with inadequate
financial backing seeking banking licenses.
Small banks suffer from disadvantages in scale and scope andalso face concentration risk making them more vulnerable.
could lead banks to run out of capital early, leading to increased
risk taking for showing higher profit to attract more capital. Large number of small banks lead to weakening of supervision

Having a high (say Rs.1000 crore) minimumcapital requirement for new Banks
Pros
since licenses are given to only full-fledged bank,adequate minimum capital requirement may benecessary to ensure that the banks operate on astrong capital base.
would evince interest from serious parties withsufficient financial backing.
banks would be able to play a more meaningful rolein financial inclusion, as they are able to investresources in technology and partnerships forfinancial inclusion.
Cons
Promoters may not be seriously committed tofinancial inclusion as they are
likely to be focused on more profitable large ticketsize commercial banking.

at say Rs.500 crore with a condition toraise the amount to say Rs.1000 crorewithin a period of say 5 years.
Pros enable applicants from a wider spectrum, i.e.
those willing to focus on financial inclusion aswell as those interested in more sophisticated
commercial banking, to seek a bankinglicence.
It would be easier to dilute the promoters'stake to a lower percentage of the total capitalof the new bank as the bank grows.
Cons
Some of the newly licenced banks may not beable to fulfill this condition of scaling up thecapital and level of operations

POSSIBLE OPTIONS AND
SOLUTIONSRetaining current option
Pros
Large shareholding by promoters in the initial stage would ensure thatthe bank has promoters stake in the development of the bank in theinitial stages while the dilution requirement would lead to diversifiedholding without significant control on the functions of bank.
Requiring dilution of shareholding upfront at the time of licensing wouldensure that only promoters having no interest in exercising control overthe banks would seek bank license.
bank would be run professionally in the long run in the absence of anysignificant influence.
Cons
Serious promoters may find the dilution requirement to a very low levelunattractive and could deter them from setting up a bank.
In the absence of any serious promoter, the bank may lack the visionand direction a new bank may require.
there would be difficulty in fixing accountability and responsibility for theaffairs of the bank.

Pros

promoters would be interested in infusing capital into thebank in times of distress to protect their reputation.

bank in the formative years, with the advantage of ensuring longterm vision, goals and direction for the bank.
Once the bank grows to a substantial size and has the potentialof creating an impact in the financial system, this model ensuresthat the bank is run professionally and that there is nocontrolling shareholder influencing the functions of the bank.

from the economys perspective. there may be some resistance to giving up their control and

POSSIBLE OPTIONS

60/67
POSSIBLE OPTIONSPermitting conversion of NBFCs into banks
Pros
NBFCs are already regulated by RBI and have a track record
NBFC model particularly those in lending activities has been successful in expandingthe reach of financial system and thus by converting to banks, this model could be
scaled up to better leverage the benefits and achieve the objective of financialinclusion.
sectoral credit issues, such as infrastructure and microfinance, could be betteraddressed if NBFCs specializing in the specified sectors can better leverage theircompetence by converting to banks and having access to low-cost funds.
Cons
NBFCs are not, as yet, subject to regular onsite inspections.
a light-touch regulatory framework for non-deposit taking NBFCs
ability of the NBFC to run a bank under a heavier regulation cannot be extrapolatedfrom this experience.
NBFCs may not fulfill the well established and well regulated criteria and hence thetrack record of an NBFC cannot be taken as an automatic eligibility criterion forconversion into banks.
Conversion of NBFCs into bank would require folding up of large number of branchesand withdrawal from many segments of businesses as well as disinv
estment from subsidiaries/affiliates not engaged in businesses permitted to banks.Migration of stronger NBFCs will not strengthen the banking space while the NBFCs
space will be weakened. The maturity mix of the asset portfolio is also skewed towards long term and the asset
mix may not be compatible to the banking liabilities. If NBFCs are converted into banksthey may take a long time to align themselves to banking.
continued dependence on wholesale deposits and short term borrowings to sustaineven their existing business operations would raise financial stability issues.

Pros
The expertise of the NBFC in the financial sectorcould flow into the bank if NBFCs are allowed to
promote banks . could retain their niche space and yet contribute to
the financial sector through the bank
NBFCs already being regulated would have averifiable track record The operations of the NBFCs
may not be liquidity constrained and hencepossibilities of diversion of funds may be less.Possibility of improved governance in banks due toownership by entities experienced in the financialsector.
61
Cons
7/29/2019 Sip 2012 Presentation
62/67
Due to the maturity differences of the assets and liabilitiesof the NBFCs and banks, there may be possibilities of thebank funds being utilized to meet the NBFC liabilities andalso of indulgence in regulatory arbitrage.
NBFC Groups engaged in activities that are not permittedto banks would be a source of concern and contagion.
Their experience in the financial sector would not beadequate enough to be a source of strength in promotingbanks.
NBFCs may not have the financial strength or parentageto support banks capital needs particularly in periods ofstress
(NBFCs or its subsidiaries / Associates should not beengaged directly or indirectly in real estate activities for
being considered eligible to promote banks. )

Business Model
Status- quo could be maintained where new bankscould be licensed under the usual conditions.
Pros
This would enable the new banks to compete in a
level playing field. This could avoid having differential supervision and
regulation for the new banks.
Uniform norms could be applied to all banks, oldand new, for their compliance.
Cons This approach would not further the objective of
licensing new banks for achieving acceleratedfinancial inclusion.
63
Considering the thrust on financial inclusion, a business modeloriented towards this objective could be preferred. The business
d l ld b i d t l l ti l t th t t d
7/29/2019 Sip 2012 Presentation
64/67
model could be required to clearly articulate the strategy andthe targets for achieving significant outreach to clientele in Tier3 to 6 centers (i.e. in populations
less than 50000) especially in the underbanked regions of thecountry either through branches or branchless models.
Pros
This would induce the new banks to participate in financialinclusion in a big way.
This would also encourage banks to adopt latest andinnovative methods and leverage information technology.
As the micro finance companies have already proved that thefinancial inclusion business model is viable, banks may not faceproblems relating to viability of the models.
Cons
The business model heavily oriented towards financial inclusionmay not be able to provide commensurate returns to banks toenable them to compete with other private sector banks in the
country. It will create uneven playing field vis--vis the existing banks
with its attendant negative consequences for such banks.
In case the bank deviates substantially from its proposedbusiness model particularly if its earnings are low threatening itsviability, there may not be any regulatory remedy. The thrust on
financial inclusion will thus be lost in such cases. 64

CONCLUSIONS
NBFC is not part of the payments system; nor does it have access tothe Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) lender-of-last-resort facility, at leastnot directly. Partly as a consequence of this, the RBI's oversight overNBFCs has also been marked by a lighter touch.
the line between banks and NBFCs is blurred thus there can be nocase for a lighter touch when it comes to regulating NBFCs. Especiallywhen the steady increase in bank credit to NBFCs in recent years
raises the very real possibility of risks being transferred from the morelightly-regulated NBFC sector to the banking sector.
thrust of the recommendations is to bridge the bank-NBFC regulatorygap- non-deposit taking NBFCs have no cash reserve ratio (CRR)requirement, nor are they required to maintain a statutory liquidity ratio(SLR). There are no restrictions on branch expansion or on financingactivities.
deposit-taking NBFCs are subject to some restrictions on branchexpansion, exposure to capital market and real estate, they benefitfrom regulatory forbearance in the form of a lower SLR: 15% against24% for banks.

CONCLUSIONS
Though the capital adequacy ratio for NBFCs is higher at 15%compared to 9% for banks, the period for classifying loans asnonperforming assets (NPAs) in case of NBFCs is higher at 180/360days against 90 days for banks.
differences in the provisioning framework as well
regulatory framework for ownership and governance is also verydifferent
consequence of the lighter regulatory regime for NBFCs was regulatoryarbitrage with NBFCs, including bank-sponsored NBFCs, engaging inactivities that were out of bounds for banks. The danger inherent in thiswas dramatically brought home during the subprime crisis in the Westwhen non-banks no less than banks held the system to ransom andhad to be bailed out with taxpayer money.
their dependence on bank borrowing poses an ever-present risk.

CONCLUSIONS
The finance ministry has sought strict norms for non-bankingfinance companies, or NBFCs, that want to convert into banksor promote banks. The move threatens to upset plans of severalfinance companies that are keen to enter the banking space.
The ministry is currently examining the draft guidelines on thenew banking licenses submitted by RBI.
The RBI's discussion paper on conditions for entry of newbanks had invited arguments for and against allowing NBFCs toconvert into banks.
In the guidelines sent to the government, the RBI has favouredboth the options. It has even proposed that if an NBFCsconverts itself into a bank, its existing branches in Tier III to TierVI cities should get a branch status automatically.
One of the major initiatives for new banking licenses is financialinclusion. NBFCs which have already set up their base insmaller cities are more competent to take the cause of financialinclusion.
