Executive Summary
All around the world retail lending has been an established market; however its rise in
emerging economies like India has been of recent origin. If recent statistics on
consumer finance are any indication, the last few years have been trend setting. The
traditional debt-averse, middle-class Indians who lived within their thrifty means,
never to venture beyond their means, seem to have given way to a new middle-class
that is free from all inhibitions regarding conspicuous consumption. Unlike its
predecessors, the middle-class of today has donned a new attitude; it attaches no
social-stigma in taking loans for spending.
Indian retail banking is up and kicking. During 2004-05 retail contributed 42% of
overall credit growth. Growing at the CAGR of 35% over last 5 years the retail asset
touched Rs1,89,000 crore. Major product segments of retail credit include housing
finance, education loan, auto finance, personal loans, consumer durable loan and
credit cards to name a few. Housing constitutes the biggest segment of 48% of the
entire retail credit; followed by the auto loans segment which constitutes almost
27.8%. While the balance retail credit is used by consumer durables at 7.2%,
educational and other personal loans take the remaining 16%.
Banks are increasing their dominance in housing finance and capturing the market
share of the housing finance companies. During 2004-05, the market share of banks
stood at 62%, against the 33% by Housing finance companies; Rs2-5 lakh margins
constitutes almost a third of the loan size. All the players in this market are adopting
an aggressive attitude and the housing loan availability is playing into the players
hands. Despite this phenomenal growth in India, the housing loan as a percentage of
GDP at 4.91% indicates low penetration when compared to other countries like
Malaysia (17%) and Thailand (9%). But again this coupled with the population
growth indicates good future prospects.
Following the housing loans, it is the education loan which is also giving the growthof retail credit the necessary boost. The last few years have witnessed a high increase
in students aspiring for management and professional courses, leading to a spurt in
educational loans. Banks are now having a direct tie-up with the educational
institutions to cash in on the opportunity. Public sector banks (PSBs) are more
focused on the educational loans segment. In the educational loan segment,

7/72
Comparative Study of Banks Retail Loan Products 2009-2011

disbursement of domestic banks has surged by 13% to Rs2249 crore in 2004-05; up
from Rs1983 crore in 2003-04. The number of students availing education loans has
increased to 1,40,000 from 1,08,000 during this period.
In India, all the retail banking segments are expected to witness a tremendous growth
owing to the low cost of borrowing, changing customer attitudes towards borrowing
and optimism regarding economic growth. Retail lending constitutes just 12.36% of
the Indian banking system. Given this macroeconomic scenario, the share of retail
banking will grow dramatically and it is expected that about 35% of the incremental
growth in net credit will come from retail banking. This requires expansion and
diversification of retail banking product portfolio, better penetration and faster service
mechanism. Hitherto, the growth had come from metros and tier I cities. While the
loan requirement from larger cities will continue to grow, explosive growth in credit
is expected to register in tier II cities, semi-urban and rural areas.
However, there are some areas of concern like rising NPA in consumer loans
particularly, the delinquency rates in credit cards, and frauds in home loans. Housing
prices have grown rapidly. Deflation of asset value is a possibility in certain areas.
Aggressive credit growth in retail has increased the requirement for measuring and
managing this risk. These require extremely skilled workforce and highly evolved
credit delivery and monitoring processes. The other concern is of suicidal pricing by
the aggressive banks. This is bringing the margins under pressure. Though rationalpricing is critical, the competitive market shall continue to see the pricing pressure.
There is also a need for a database and management information system to identify
the right type of borrowers.
Keeping pace with explosive changes will pose challenge to regulatory authorities.
This will not limit only to increase of risk weight of consumer loan by 25 basis points
which the regulator announced in mid-term policy review 2004-05. Revision of credit
cards issue regulations, and recent draft guidelines on outsourcing are the steps in the
right direction. Lack of consensus on definition of retail and transparency in
declaration by the players as well the coverage of retail by the central banker in its
reports; all of this needs a thorough re-look.

Banking and Finance in India
The Indian money market is classified in to,
1. The Organized Sector (comprising private, public and foreign owned
commercial banks and cooperative banks, together known as scheduled
banks); and
2. The Unorganized Sector (comprising individual or family owned indigenous
bankers or money lenders and non banking financial companies (NBFCs)).
The unorganized sector and micro credit and still preferred over traditional banks in
rural and sub-urban areas, especially for non-productive purposes, like ceremonies
and short duration loans.
Early History
Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were
The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of
which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of
India, which originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This
was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay andthe Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established under charters from the
British East India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India,
which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years
the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The
Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian
banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was
nationalized and given broader powers.
Post-independence
The partition of India in 1947 adversely impacted the economies of Punjab and West
Bengal, paralyzing banking activities for months. India's independence marked the
end of a regime of the Laissez-faire for the Indian banking. The Government of India
initiated measures to play an active role in the economic life of the nation, and the

Industrial Policy Resolution adopted by the government in 1948 envisaged a mixed
economy. This resulted into greater involvement of the state in different segments of
the economy including banking and finance. The major steps to regulate banking
included,
y In 1948, the Reserve Bank of India, India's central banking authority, was
nationalized, and it became an institution owned by the Government of India.
y In 1949, the Banking Regulation Act was enacted which empowered the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) "to regulate, control, and inspect the banks in
India."
y The Banking Regulation Act also provided that no new bank or branch of an
existing bank may be opened without a license from the RBI, and no two
banks could have common directors.
However, despite these provisions, control and regulations, banks in India except the
State Bank of India, continued to be owned and operated by private persons. This
changed with the nationalization of major banks in India on 19th July, 1969.
Nationalization
By the 1960s, the Indian banking industry has become an important tool to facilitate
the development of the Indian economy. At the same time, it has emerged as a large
employer, and a debate has ensued about the possibility to nationalize the banking
industry. Indira Gandhi, the-then Prime Minister of India expressed the intention of
the GOI in the annual conference of the All India Congress Meeting in a paper
entitled " Stray thoughts on Bank Nationalization. The paper was received with
positive enthusiasm. Thereafter, her move was swift and sudden, and the GOI issued
an ordinance and nationalized 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 9th 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 GOI controlled around 91% of
the banking business of India.
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.
Liberalization
In the early 1990s the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalisation and gave licenses to a small number of private banks, which came to be
known as New Generation tech-savvy banks, which included banks such as Global
Trust Bank (the first of such new generation banks to be set up) which later
amalgamated with Oriental Bank of Commerce, UTI Bank (now re-named as Axis
Bank), ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank. This move, along with the rapid growth in the
economy of India, kick started the banking sector in India, which has seen rapid
growth with strong contribution from all the three sectors of banks, namely,
government banks, private banks and foreign banks.
The next stage for the Indian banking has been setup with the proposed relaxation in
the norms for Foreign Direct Investment, where all Foreign Investors in banks may be
given voting rights which could exceed the present cap of 10%at present it has gone
up to 49% with some restrictions.
The new policy shook the Banking sector in India completely. Bankers, till this time,
were used to the 4-6-4 method (Borrow at 4%; Lend at 6%; Go home at 4) of
functioning. The new wave ushered in a modern outlook and tech-savvy methods ofworking for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just
demanded more from their banks but also received more.

Current Situation
Banking in India is generally fairly mature in terms of supply, product range and
reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a challenge for the private sector
and foreign banks. In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are
considered to have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks
in comparable economies in its region. The Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous
body, with minimal pressure from the government. The stated policy of the Bank on
the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility but without any fixed exchange rate-and this
has mostly been true.
With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-
especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail
banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong. One may also
expect M&As, takeovers, and asset sales.
In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its
stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an
investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI
announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks
would need to be vetted by them.
Currently (2010), India has 96 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector
banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these
do not have government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock
exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000
branches and 49,000 ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency,
the public sector banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry,
with the private and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.
Since liberalization, the government has approved significant banking reforms. While
some of these relate to nationalized banks (like encouraging mergers, reducing
government interference and increasing profitability and competitiveness) other

reforms have opened up the banking and insurance sectors to private and foreign

Categories of Bank
Banking in India falls mainly under two categories, viz. Commercial banks and Co-
operative banks, while commercial banks cater to the needs of industry and trade
largely; the cooperative banks play a major role in financing agriculture and allied
activities in rural areas, and trade and services in urban areas.
The commercial banks may be classified into four group in terms of ownership,
1. Public Sector Banks
2. Regional Rural
3. Indian Private Sector Banks and
4. Banks incorporated outside India.
The commercial banks can be further classified into Scheduled banks and Non
Scheduled Banks. Scheduled Banks are those listed in the second schedule to the
Reserve Bank of India Act 1934
These banks satisfy the criteria laid down under section 42 (6) of the RBI Act that
they should have capital and reserve of Rs. 5 lakhs and their activities should not be
detrimental to the interests of depositors. The scheduled banks are required to
maintain cash reserves equal to 5 % of DTL which can go up to 15 % under section
42 (1). Those, which are not included in the 2nd
schedule, are called the non-scheduled
banks. The number of take- oven/liquidation as also in some cases up gradation into
scheduled banks category.
Introduction to Finance
Finance is the handmaiden of economic growth Institutions like banks, which
command huge financial resources, can play a crucial role in shaping the economy of
a country by judiciously deploying their funds over such important activities as would
lead to an overall economic growth. A banks offer compared to a dam and the money
lying scattered with individuals and institutions in society to the water running its own
course without any direction. Money is collected by banks by way of deposits, and

from this fund money is turned back to the community in the form of loans. Thus,
banks act as a vital link between the savers and the needy.
India is striving to transform herself into an industrially developed country based on a
rural and agricultural economy which should not only be able to feed the millions of
her populations but also to produce raw material for her mills. This can be done by
bringing about the necessary change from an agrarian economy to a diversified one.
Banks have crucial role to play not only in the achievement of this objective but more
significantly in determining how speedily and efficiently it is achieved. Since the
nationalization of the fourteen major banks, the banking industry has developed
adequately enough to meet the changing needs, both corporate and personal. Banks
now offer a wide range of financial services in an extensively varied environment.
The complex task of managing these changes and their consequences requires that
banker should be more professional than ever before.
The Business of Banking
Banking has been understood differently at different times and indifferent countries.
In India, the earliest legislation that dealt with the business of banking was the Indian
Companies Act 1913. The Banking Regulations Act came in 1936. Under this Act all
companies having their principal business, accepting deposits from the public were
classified as banks. Hence between 1936 and 1942 even trading and industrial
concerns accepting deposits were classified as banks, if accepting such deposits was
their principal business. The Government of India passed a compressive Banking
Regulation Act in 1949. Accordingly a banking company was defined as a company
which carries on the business of banking that is to say accepting for the purpose of
lending or investing deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand of
otherwise, and withdrawal cheque, draft, order of otherwise. The study group
reviewing legislation affecting banking is of the opinion that banking should be
abroad based. The definition given by the Banking Regulation Act 1949 is certainly
not exhaustive, and it needs certain alterations for the sake of simplification. The
purpose of accepting deposits is strictly not relevant for the definition of banking,
through it is basic for banking regulation. There is no need to distinguish between

loans deposits in the context of banking regulation. The definition of banking
should cover all forms of deposits from the public, and banking regulation should take
into its ambit all the different types of banking.
Functioning of a Bank
Functioning of a Bank is among the more complicated of corporate operations. Since
Banking involves dealing directly with money, governments in most countries
regulate this sector rather stringently. In India, the regulation traditionally has been
very strict and in the opinion of certain quarters, responsible for the present condition
of banks, where NPAs are of a very high order. The process of financial reforms,
which started in 1991, has cleared the cobwebs somewhat but a lot remains to be
done. The multiplicity of policy and regulations that a Bank has to work with makes
its operations even more complicated, sometimes bordering on illogical. This section,
which is also intended for banking professional, attempts to give an overview of the
functions in as simple manner as possible.
Banking Regulation Act of India, 1949 defines Banking as "accepting, for the purpose
of lending or investment of deposits of money from the public, repayable on demand
or otherwise and withdrawal by cheques, draft, order or otherwise."
Deriving from this definition and viewed solely from the point of view of the
customers, Banks essentially perform the following functions,
1. Accepting Deposits from public/others (Deposits).
2. Lending Money to public (Loans).
3. Transferring money from one place to another.
4. Acting as trustees.
5. Keeping valuables in safe custody.
6. Government business.
But do these functions constitute banking? The answer must be a no. There are so
many intricacies involved in the activities that a bank performs today, that the above
list must sound very simple to a seasoned banker. Please click on the activity to see
what a Bank has to do to give the above services to its customers. These activities can

also be described as back office banking. Banks are organized in a linear structure to
perform these activities at the base of which lies a Branch. The corporate office of a
bank is normally called Head Office
Forms of Advances
Advances by commercial banks are made in different forms such as loans, cash credit,
overdrafts, bills purchased, bills discounted etc. These are generally short- term
advances. Commercial banks do not sanction advances on a long-term basis beyond a
small proportion of their demand and time liabilities. They cannot afford to lock up
their funds for long period. Hence a considerable percentage of their advances is
repayable on demand.
Advances may be granted against tangible security or in special deserving cases on an
unsecured/clean basis.
Loans
Bank loans are called indirect agents of production. For achieving a sustained rate of
economic growth over a long period, greater efforts have to be made to increase
agricultural and industrial production, and in this increased production, bank credit
plays a significant role. But banks in India are not free to employ their funds n an
arbitrary manner, while lending, they will have to keep in mind factors like a desirable
balance among liquidity, safely and profitability, legal and statutory requirements,
socio-economic conditions of the country, priorities set by economic planners, and so
on. Banks try to achieve this objective through maintaining a particular relationship

between their assets and deposits. As such, between advances and deposits in the form
of advances among as many different types of securities and over as wide an areas as
possible, and they avoid granting too large a proportion of their advances to one party
or to a single industry. While these factors limit banks capability to lend, they are,
nevertheless expected to grant credit according to the changing economic scene
conditioned by the programs and priorities of different Five Year Plans.
In a loan account the entire amount is paid to the debtor at one time, either in cash or
by transfer to his current account. No subsequent debit ordinarily allowed except by
way of interest, incidental charges, insurance premiums, expenses incurred is
provided for by installment without allowing the demand character of the loan to be
affected in any way. There is usually a stipulation that in the event of installment
remaining unpaid, the entire amount of the loan will become due. Interest is charged
on the debit balance, usually with quarterly rests unless there is an arrangement to the
contrary. No cheque book is issued. The security may be personal or in the form of
shares, debentures. Government paper, immovable property, fixed deposit receipts,
life insurance policies, goods etc.

RBI Directive for Home Loans
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has in the latest directive asked the Indian
banks to be more "fair and transparent" while signing their agreements with the
consumers. This has come following complaints from various consumer sectionsregarding home loans.
It has emphasized on the fact that while giving a home loan, the banks should not tie
their loans with their own prime lending rates (PLR) which often results in pro-bank
and against consumer interest.
y Households should get credit counseling before signing any loan agreement.
In such case, banks should give credit counseling to customer before giving a
loan. Any non-governmental organization can also give independent creditcounseling to small borrowers.
y Consumers often complain of not receiving benefits of falling interest rates as
banks tie their floating rate loans with its PLR and even when rates fall, the
banks kept the PLR unchanged. But when interest rates are hiked, the banks
increase the benchmark rate, thus making customers pay a higher rate and
consequently increase the number of EMIs too. The RBI has asked the banks
to mend rules for the same.
y Individual borrowers should ask for the exact tenure and EMI while taking a
fixed rate loan. The RBI has also resolved to look into all consumer
complaints if it is bought to the regulator's notice.
y The IRDA (insurance regulator) has powers to take action against banks if a
customer feels cheated while buying an insurance product. On its regulatory
role, the RBI is trying to maintain a balance between the extent of freedom
granted to the banks and the objectives of governance.
y RBI has made it mandatory for all banks - including private and foreign banks
- to offer a passbook to their customers with the address and telephone number
of the nearest branch.

y Customers have often been harassed by banks' call centers where there is no
accountability of the query made. The "do not call" registry has also been
flouted by banks as customers are bombarded with unnecessary product
offerings. The RBI has directed the Indian Banks' Association to come out
with a single "do not call" registry or when a customer adds his name to a
single bank registry it should then stop unsolicited calls from all banks.
y On rising credit card frauds and wrong statements given by the banks, the RBI
has asked the customers to approach the ombudsman to redress their problems.
This way the RBI feels would inculcate more consumer friendly practices
among Indian banks.
Tax Benefits
There are certain tax benefits for the resident Indians based on the principal
and interest component of a loan under the Income Tax Act, 1961. It may help one get

Why take a Home Loan?
What's an average middle class Indian's most cherished dream?
Purchasing and moving into a dream house would generally rank among the top three
things on the wish list of most people. After all its what been proved by Maslows
Law of Hierarchy as well. That entire house hunting every few years, grumpy
landlords, killing rents would be a thing of the past. Hey, you even get to use nails to
hang your favorite paintings and pictures. Dont you???
Taking a home loan nowadays has become very simpler. The RBI has been regularly
slashing interest rates, with the result that housing finance loans that came at an
interest rate of 16.5% to 18% eight years ago are now available at 9.50% to 14.50% or
lower. Each year the Finance Minister's generosity during the Budget seems to be
solely concentrated for the housing sector and construction sector. The Budget 2000'sallowed interest payment up to Rs1lakh and principal payment of Rs20, 000 to be
exempted from income tax. To top it all, the Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) are
aggressively wooing customers. Now, when the sun shines, its the best time to make
hay. Isnt it?
