1.1 INTRODUCTION
In our present day economy, finance is defined as the provision of money at the time
when it is required. Every enterprise, whether big or small, needs finance to carry on its
operations and to achieve its target. In fact, finance is so indispensible today that it is
rightly said to be the lifeblood of enterprise. Without adequate finance no enterprise can
possibly accomplish its objectives. Finance refers to the management of flows of money
through an organization. It concerns with the application of skills in the manipulation,
use and control of money.
Finance management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the
planning and controlling of a firms financial reserve.
Financial management as an academic discipline has undergone fundamental changes as
regards its scope and coverage. In early years of its evolution it was treated
synonymously with the raising of funds, and little significance was attached to the
analytical thinking in the financial decision making and problem solving. In the current
literature pertaining to this growing academic discipline, a broader scope so as to include
in addition to procurement of funds, efficient use of resources is universally recognized.
Financial analysis can be defined as a study of relationship between many factors as
disclosed by the statement and the study of trend of these factors.
The objective of financial analysis is the pinpointing of strength and weakness
of a business undertaking by regrouping and analyzing of figures obtained from financial
statement and balance sheet by the tools and techniques of management accounting.
Financial analysis is as the final step of accounting that results in the presentation of final
and the exact data that helps the business managers, creditors and investors.
Based on this reasoning, this project is an attempt to analyze the financial performance of
Universal Systems Technologies Inc. In the financial analysis a ratio is used as an index
for evaluating the financial position and performance of the firm.
__________________________________

The absolute accounting figures reported in the financial statement do not provide a
meaningful understanding of the performance and the financial position of the firm. But
the accounting figures convey the meaning when it is related to some other relative
information. For example :- Rs 5 crore net profits may look impressive, but the firms
performance can be said good or bad only when net figures is related to the firm’s
investment.
Accounting ratios are relation expressed in the mathematical terms between figures that
are connected with each other in the same manner. The information contained in the
balance sheet, profit and loss account or the income statements are used by the
management, creditors, investors and others to form judgment about the operating
performance and the financial strengths and weakness of the firm, if we properly analyze
the information reported in the statement.
1.2 INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
The Indian Information Technology industry accounts for a 5.19% of the

country's GDP and export earnings as of 2009, while providing employment to a
significant number of its tertiary sector workforce. More than 2.5 million people are
employed in the sector either directly or indirectly, making it one of the biggest job
creators in India and a mainstay of the national economy. In 2010-11, annual revenues
from IT-BPO sector is estimated to have grown over US$76 billion compared
to China with $35.76 billion and Philippines with $8.85 billion. India's outsourcing
industry is expected to increase to US$225 billion by 2020. The most prominent IT hub
is IT capital Bangalore. The other emerging destinations are
Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai, NCR and Kochi. Technically proficient
immigrants from India sought jobs in the western world from the 1950s onwards as
India's education system produced more engineers than its industry could absorb. India's
growing stature in the information age enabled it to form close ties with both the United
States of America and the European Union. However, the recent global financial
__________________________________
8
crises has deeply impacted the Indian IT companies as well as global companies. As a
result hiring has dropped sharply and employees are looking at different sectors like the
financial service, telecommunications, and manufacturing industries, which have been
growing phenomenally over the last few years.
India's IT Services industry was born in Mumbai in 1967 with the

establishment of Tata Group in partnership with Burroughs. The first software export
zone SEEPZ was set up here way back in 1973, the old avatar of the modern day IT Park.
More than 80 percent of the country's software exports happened out
of SEEPZ, Mumbai in 80s.
Each year India produces roughly 500,000 engineers in the country, out of them only
25% to 30% possessed both technical competency and English language skills, although
12% of India's population can speak in English. India developed a number of outsourcing
companies specializing in customer support via Internet or telephone connections. By
2009, India also has a total of 37,160,000 telephone lines in use, a total of
506,040,000 mobile phone connections, a total of 81,000,000 Internet users—comprising
7.0% of the country's population, and 7,570,000 people in the country have access
to broadband Internet— making it the 12th largest country in the world in terms
of broadband Internet users. Total fixed-line and wireless subscribers reached 543.20
million as of November, 2009.
Formative Years (Till 1991)
The Indian Government acquired the EVS EM computers from the Soviet Union, which
were used in large companies and research laboratories. In 1968 Tata Consultancy
Services—established in SEEPZ, Mumbai by the Tata Group—were the country's largest
software producers during the 1960s. As an outcome of the various policies of Jawaharlal
Nehru (office: 15 August 1947 – 27 May 1964) the economically beleaguered country
was able to build a large scientific workforce, third in numbers only to that of the United
States of America and the Soviet Union.
On 18 August 1951 the minister of education Maulana AbulKalam Azad, inaugurated

the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal. Possibly modeled after

the Massachusetts Institute of Technology these institutions were conceived by a 22

member committee of scholars and entrepreneurs under the chairmanship of N. R.
Sarkar. Relaxed immigration laws in the United States of America (1965) attracted a
number of skilled Indian professionals aiming for research. By 1960 as many as 10,000
Indians were estimated to have settled in the US. Kapur (2006)By the 1980s a number of
engineers from India were seeking employment in other countries. In response, the
Indian companies realigned wages to retain their experienced staff. In the Encyclopedia
of India, Kamdar (2006) reports on the role of Indian immigrants (1980 - early 1990s) in
promoting technology-driven growth:
The United States’ technological lead was driven in no small part by the brain power of
brilliant immigrants, many of whom came from India. The inestimable contributions of
thousands of highly trained Indian migrants in every area of American scientific and
technological achievement culminated with the information technology revolution most
associated with California’s Silicon Valley in the 1980s and 1990s.
The National Informatics Centre was established in March 1975. The inception of The
Computer Maintenance Company (CMC) followed in October 1976. Between 1977-1980
the country's Information Technology companies Tata Infotech, Patni Computer
Systems and Wipro had become visible. The 'microchip revolution' of the 1980s had
convinced both Indira Gandhi and her successor Rajiv Gandhi that electronics and
telecommunications were vital to India's growth and development. MTNL underwent
technological improvements. Between 1986-1987, the Indian government embarked
upon the creation of three wide-area computer networking schemes: INDONET
(intended to serve the IBM mainframes in India), NICNET (the network for India's
National Informatics Centre), and the academic research oriented Education and
Research Network (ERNET).
1991–2001
Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) introduced Gateway Electronic Mail Service in

scale in 1992. Election results were displayed via National Informatics Centre's
NICNET.
The Indian economy underwent economic reforms in 1991, leading to a new era
of globalization and international economic integration. Economic growth of over 6%
annually was seen between 1993-2002. The economic reforms were driven in part by
significant the internet usage in the country. The new administration under AtalBihari
Vajpayee—which placed the development of Information Technology among its top five
priorities— formed the Indian National Task Force on Information Technology and
Software Development.Wolcott & Goodman (2003) report on the role of the Indian
National Task Force on Information Technology and Software Development:
Within 90 days of its establishment, the Task Force produced an extensive background
report on the state of technology in India and an IT Action Plan with 108
recommendations. The Task Force could act quickly because it built upon the experience
and frustrations of state governments, central government agencies, universities, and the
software industry. Much of what it proposed was also consistent with the thinking and
recommendations of international bodies like the World Trade
Organization (WTO), International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and World Bank.
In addition, the Task Force incorporated the experiences of Singapore and other nations,
which implemented similar programs. It was less a task of invention than of sparking
action on a consensus that had already evolved within the networking community and
government.
The New Telecommunications Policy, 1999 (NTP 1999) helped further liberalize
India's telecommunications sector. The Information Technology Act 2000 created legal
procedures for electronic transactions and e-commerce.
Throughout the 1990s, another wave of Indian professionals entered the United States.
The number of Indian Americans reached 1.7 million by 2000. This immigration
consisted largely of highly educated technologically proficient workers. Within the
United States, Indians fared well in science, engineering, and management. Graduates
from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) became known for their technical skills.
__________________________________

Thus GOI planned to established new Institutes specially for Information Technology to
enhance this field. In 1998 India got the first IT institute name Indian Institute of
Information Technology at Gwalior. The success of Information Technology in India

not only had economic repercussions but also had far-reaching political consequences.
India's reputation both as a source and a destination for skilled workforce helped it
improve its relations with a number of world economies. The relationship between
economy and technology—valued in the western world—facilitated the growth of an
entrepreneurial class of immigrant Indians, which further helped aid in promoting
technology-driven growth.
2001
India is now one of the biggest IT capitals in the modern world.
The economic effect of the technologically inclined services sector in India—accounting

for 40% of the country's GDP and 30% of export earnings as of 2006, while employing
only 25% of its workforce is summarized by Sharma (2006).
Today, Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India and contributes 33% of Indian
IT Exports. India's second and third largest software companies are head-quartered in
Bangalore, as are many of the global SEI-CMM Level 5 Companies.
Next to Bangalore Chennai plays an important role in IT. Lot of companies were
developed in Chennai, in the last few years. And Mumbai too has its share of IT
companies that are India's first and largest, like TCS and well established
like Reliance, Patni, LnTInfotech, i-Flex, WNS, Shine, Naukri, Jobspert etc. are head-
quartered in Mumbai. and these IT and dot com companies are ruling the roost of
Mumbai's relatively high octane industry of Technology. Such is the growth in
investment and outsourcing; it was revealed that Cap Gemini will soon have more staff in
India than it does in its home market of France with 21,000 personnel+ in India.
On 25 June 2002 India and the European Union agreed to bilateral cooperation in the
field of science and technology. A joint EU-India group of scholars was formed on 23
November 2001 to further promote joint research and development. India holds observer

Introduction to Banking in India:

Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy economy.
The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but, it should be able to meet
new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal factors.
Banking in India has its origin as early as Vedic Period. It is believed that the transition
from money lending to banking must have occurred even before Manu, the great Hindu
Jurist who has devoted a section of his work to deposits and advances and laid down the
rules relating to rates of interest. During the days of East India Company it was the turn
of the agency houses to carry on the banking business.
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 and the 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. A couple of decades later,
foreign banks such as Credit Lyonnais started their Calcutta operations in the 1850s. At
that point of time, Calcutta was the most active trading port, mainly due to the trade of
the British Empire, and due to which banking activity took roots there and prospered.

Early history in Indian Banking
The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865.
However, at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the
modern sense of the term. At the time of the American Civil War, a void was created as
the supply of cotton to Lancashire stopped from the Americas. Some banks were opened
at that time to finance industry, including speculative trading in cotton. With large
exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period
failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits with banks.
Subsequently, banking in India remained the exclusive domain of Europeans for next
several decades until the beginning of the 20th century.
The Bank of Bengal, which later became the State Bank of India.
At this time, the Indian economy was passing through a relative period of
stability. Around five decades have elapsed since the India's First war of Independence,
and the social, industrial and other infrastructure have developed. At that time there were
very small banks operated by Indians, and most of them were owned and operated by
particular communities.
The presidency banks dominated banking in India. There were also some
exchange banks and a number of Indian joint stock banks. All these banks operated in
different segments of the economy. The exchange banks, mostly owned by Europeans,
__________________________________
14
concentrated on financing foreign trade. Indian joint stock banks were generally
undercapitalized and lacked the experience and maturity to compete with the presidency
and exchange banks. This segmentation let Lord Curzon to observe, "In respect of
banking it seems we are behind the times. We are like some old fashioned sailing
ship, divided by solid wooden bulkheads into separate and cumbersome
compartments."By the 1900s, the market expanded with the establishment of banks
such as Punjab National Bank, in 1895 in Lahore and Bank of India, in 1906, in Mumbai
- both of which were founded under private ownership. Punjab National Bank is the first
Swadeshi Bank founded by the leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia.
The Swadeshi movement in particular inspired local businessmen and political figures to
found banks of and for the Indian community. A number of banks established then have
survived to the present such as Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of
Baroda, Canara Bank and Central Bank of India.
From World War I to Independence
The period during the First World War (1914-1918) through the end of the
Second World War (1939-1945), and two years thereafter until the independence of India
were challenging for Indian banking. The years of the First World War were turbulent,
and it took its toll with banks simply collapsing despite the Indian economy gaining
indirect boost due to war-related economic activities. At least 94 banks in India failed
between 1913 and 1918 as indicated in the following table:

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:
• 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.
• 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."
• 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 (Acquition 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. Later on, in the year
1993, one of the nationalized banks, namely, New Bank of India was merged with
Punjab National Bank. It was the first and only merger of a Nationalized Bank into a
Nationalized Bank, resulting in the reducing 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.
Liberalization
In the early 1990s the then Narsimha Rao government embarked on a policy of
liberalization 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 of
working for traditional banks. All this led to the retail boom in India. People not just
demanded more from their banks but also received more.

Banks. Banks.
The formal banking system in India comprises the RBI, Commercial Banks,
Regional Rural Banks and the co-operative banks. In the recent past, private non-banking
finance companies also have been active in the financial system, and are being regulated
by the RBI.
Reserve Bank of India:

The RBI, established in 1935, is the central banking and monetary authority in
India. The RBI manages the country’s money supply and foreign exchange and also
serves as a bank for the Government of India and for the country’s commercial banks. In
addition to these traditional central banking roles, the RBI undertakes certain
developmental and promotional roles. The RBI issues guidelines on various areas
including exposure standards, income recognition, asset classification, provisioning for
non-performing assets, investment valuation and capital adequacy standards for
commercial banks, long-term lending institutions and non-bank finance companies. The
RBI requires these institutions to furnish information relating to their businesses to the
RBI on a regular basis.
Public Sector Banks (PSBs):
The banking sector in India has been characterized by the predominance of Public
Sector Banks. They include the State Bank of India and its associate banks, 19
nationalized banks and 196 regional rural banks. The aggregate loan assets of all Public
Sector Banks stood at Rs.67295 crores at end Financial Year 06-07 accounting for
73.39% of loan assets of all Scheduled Commercial Banks in India and their total
__________________________________
19
operating profits amounted to Rs.42, 485 crores. The Public Sector Banks large network
of branches enables them to fund themselves out of low-cost deposits.
Private Sector Banks:
In July 1993, as part of the banking sector reform process and as a measure to
induce competition in the banking sector, the RBI permitted entry by the private sector
into the banking system. At the end of the Financial Year 06-07, the total loan assets of
private sector banks aggregated Rs.197, 620 crores and accounted for 19.70% of the total
loan assets of all Scheduled Commercial Banks and their total operating profits amounted
to Rs.8209 crores. The share of private sector banks in total loan assets has increased
from 18.77% at the end of the Financial Year 06 to 19.70% at the end of the Financial
Year 07 mainly due to the increase in the loan assets of new private sector bank.
Foreign Banks:
As on June 30, 2007, there are 40 foreign banks operating in India with 236
branches. Some foreign banks have also set up representative offices in India. Foreign
banks operate only in urban cities and metropolitan cities. As on March 2007, deposits of
foreign banks stood at 15.1%. At the end of the 2006, the loan assets of foreign banks
aggregated Rs.65,652 crores and accounted for 6.95% of the total assets of all Scheduled
Commercial Banks and their total operating profits of the foreign banks as on March 31,
2007 amounted to Rs.5,687 crores.
Co-operative Banks:
Co-operative banks cater to the financing needs of agriculture, small industry and
self-employed businessmen in urban and semi-urban areas of India. The state land
development banks and the primary land development banks provide long-term credit for
agriculture. In the light of liquidity and insolvency problems experienced by some co-
operative banks in fiscal 2001, the RBI undertook several interim measures, pending
__________________________________
20
formal legislative changes, including measures related to lending against shares,
borrowings in the call market and term deposits placed with other urban co-operative
banks. Presently the RBI is responsible for supervision and regulation of urban
cooperative societies, and the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development for
State Co-operative Banks and District Central Cooperative Banks.
Non-Scheduled banks are those, which have not been included in the Second Schedule of
the RBI Act, 1934.]
Current situation
Currently (2007), 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, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector
banks (that is with the Government of India holding a stake)after merger of New Bank of
India in Punjab National Bank in 1993, 29 private banks (these do not have government
stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign banks.
They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 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.

Loan
A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of
financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.
In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called

the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of
money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in
regular installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same
amount.
The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which
provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these
__________________________________

obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower
under additional restrictions known as loan covenants.
Types of Loans offered by the Banks:
Secured loan
A secured loan is a loan in which the borrower pledges some asset (e.g., a car or
property) as collateral (i.e., security) for the loan. Commonly Mortgage loan is provided
by the banks.
Unsecured Loans
Unsecured loans are monetary loans that are not secured against the borrowers assets
(i.e., no collateral is involved). These may be available from financial institutions under
many different guises or marketing packages:
 Bank overdrafts
 Corporate bonds
 Credit card debt
 Credit facilities or lines of credit
 Personal loans

DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANT SERVICES
Karnataka Bank has been foraying into newer areas of banking products and
services to meet the increasing needs of its customers. As a further step
towards this Karnataka Bank has become a Depository Participant of Central
Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL) and has launched the DP
services from 16-03-2006.
INTRODUCTION TO DEPOSITORY SERVICES:
A Bank where its Head Office provides the facility of opening and conduct
of Accounts through its branches, a Depository institution extends various
services to the investors through its agents known as Depository Participant.
In India, now there are two Depositories. They are CDSL and NSDL.
Participant can be anybody who complies with the eligibility requirements.
Participant (DP) can be a Bank also. All the various functions undertaken
and enabled through Demat accounts is referred to as DP activity. Under the
depository system, a demat account holder or holder/owner of securities who
is
entitled to all the benefits (such as dividend or interest/bonus or right shares etc), is
known as a Beneficial Owner (BO). However, in the books of the issuer
company, the
name of the Depository will appear as the Registered Owner against those securities
which are held by the BO in his demat account with that Depository.
PREREQUISITES OF OPENING A DEMAT ACCOUNT:
The formalities involved in opening a bank account and a demat account are
similar. An investor desirous of holding his securities in electronic form can
open a demat account
__________________________________
55
with a DP of his choice by completing necessary account opening formalities after
furnishing proof of his/her identity, photograph and proof of address. An
agreement with the DP in the prescribed format is to be executed by paying
requisite stamp duty.
__________________________________
56
DEMATERIALISATION OF SECURITIES:
After getting the demat account number from the DP, the BO can cause
credit of fresh purchases of securities to his demat account and/or transfer the
balances held in demat account held with other DP to this newly opened
demat account. He can also tender the securities held by him/her in physical
form to DP for dematerialization and credit to the demat account. After
necessary verification, DP forwards the physical securities (duly defaced)
either to the company or to their duly appointed RTA (Registrar and Transfer
Agent) who, after necessary scrutiny, destroys the certificates in physical
form and authorizes the depository to give corresponding (electronic) credit
to the subject demat account. The details and balance in the BO account
recorded and maintained with the Depository are available to DPs in their
office through the continuous connectivity via V-sat or leased lines. The DP
is required to provide the BO, at regular intervals, with a statement of
account, which gives the details of transactions and closing balance.
FREE FACILITIES BY CDSL TO ITS DEMAT ACCOUNT

HOLDERS:
The evolution of the Indian capital market has seen several enhancements
during the past few years and this has been a result of innovative use of
newer technologies. In the reduced settlement cycle era, investors require
updated demat account information at a much faster pace than ever before. In
other words, the quest for account status information has risen manifold.
In order to facilitate a CDSL demat account holder to easily adapt to the fast
reducing settlement cycle, CDSL has introduced Internet-enabled services
called "easi" and "easiest" to empower a demat account holder in managing
his securities 'anytime-anywhere' in an efficient and convenient manner, all
in a state-of-the-art secure environment. Further to effective risk control
__________________________________
57
mechanism for monitoring of demat account, CDSL has also
introduced "smart" facility.

THE BANKING SCENARIO
1.Although Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century with The
General Bank of India coming into existence in 1786, though we gained independence in
__________________________________
63
the year 1947, and though Republican Indian Constitution was brought into force on
26th January, 1950, Indian banking industry was not a critical tool, if I may say so, to
monitor the growth and development of the Indian economy till 1960. By the 1960s, the
Indian banking industry became an important tool to facilitate the development of the
Indian economy.
At the same time, it had emerged as a large employer. Under the political leadership
of Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, by a swift and a sudden action,
Government of India issued an ordinance nationalizing the 14 largest commercial banks
from the mid-night of 19th July, 1969. A second dose of nationalization of six more
commercial banks followed in 1980. With the second dose of nationalization, the
Government of India 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. In the early 1990s,the then
Narasimha Rao government embarked on a policy of liberalization and gave licenses to a
small number of private banks, which came to be known as New Generation tech-savvy
banks. 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.
2. Karnataka Bank Limited occupies an enviable and pride position in the comity of
Private Sector Banks in the country today. I have some details of laudable performances
of the Bank. Karnataka Bank has secured "A1+" rating for its Certificates of
Deposit program from ICRA, thus indicating highest quality rating to short term
instrument. It is stated that instruments rated in this category carry the lowest credit risk
in the short term. The financial results of the year ended 31st March, 2009 of the Bank
speak volumes for its strong credentials. The total business of the Bank
surpassed Rs.32143 crore. Net profit of the bank went up to Rs.266.70 crore. Capital
funds of the Bank stood at Rs.1990.57 crore.
__________________________________
64
The Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) of the Bank was 13.48 under Basel II and
13.54% under Basel I, well above the RBI prescription of 9%. The earning per share
(EPS) was Rs.21.96. The Bank which has been consistently paying dividend over the
years has paid a dividend of 60% for the year 2008-09. The Bank has a highly dedicated
team of around 5300 employees ably patronized by over 74000 shareholders and over 4
million clientele base. Bank's Net NPA and the return on assets stood at 0.98% and
1.25% respectively. The Bank's rural orientation programmes, services of NRIs and its
performance in user-friendly loan schemes are quite laudable and astounding.
3. The success of the bank is built upon sacrifices and services of its founders and
successive Boards of Directors and staff of the Bank. Karnataka Bank Limited,
established in the year 1924, thanks to a host of illustrious and imaginative founder-
promoters, is a highly progressive bank with a vision and mission of a unique corporate
personality. The untiring efforts of the founder members with their burning passion to
serve the community have given the bank a firm footing assimilating the past with
astounding flexibility to adapt to the sea changes sweeping the banking industry
especially after nineteen hundred nineties.
Their selfless and single-minded devotion to give their best to the society resulted in
the birth of the Bank, which occupies an enviable position in the comity of Private Sector
Banks in the country today. The seed sown in a spirit of love and compassion by the
founding fathers has grown into a big tree bearing fruits on all its 461 branches spread
across the country. Over 85 years of its fruitful existence has stood the test of time by its
steady growth and vast, varied and versatile dispensations marked by personalised and
dedicated services. This astounding success should go to and be shared by its illustrious
founders, 74000patron-shareholders and over 4 million patron-clientele, and above all,
the most dedicated services rendered by the successive Boards of Directors and staff of
the Bank, and all of them richly deserve compliments from the society.
4. As you know, I am neither an economist nor a banker. My exposure in these fields

is almost nil. I am only a client of the Bank, I mean, Karnataka Bank Limited. But, I have
__________________________________
65
considerable exposure in law in general, Constitutional Law and Human Rights law in
particular. Globalization and recent global recession undeniably have their impact on
Indian economy and consequently human rights of the people in this country.
Therefore, when I was called upon to speak on any topic of my choice as a part of
Karnataka Bank's Founders Day Celebrations, I thought of speaking on the topic
"Globalization, Global Recession and Their Impact on Human Rights." But, at the
outset, I wish to tell you that my comments and observations in the course of the lecture
should not be taken to be an expert opinion, but, a feeling of a layman of this country,
who wants to share with an audience, which consists of large number of experts on
Indian economy, Indian Banking, Globalization, Global recession. In other words, my
Lecture by no standard can be said to be a well-researched article. Having said it, without
much ado, I proceed to the subject of my lecture.
5. Globalization intends to integrate the world into one capitalist political economy
operating under a neo-liberal free market ideology. Economic globalization as witnessed
in the world today is not a new phenomenon. It has been evolving for the past several
years and gaining momentum day by day. The trend, at present, is a shift from a world
economy based on national market economies to a borderless global market economy
increasingly governed by one set of rules. In this context, globalization means global
economic liberalization, developing a global financial system and a transnational
production system which is based on a homogenized worldwide law of value.
The demise of the Cold War helped the emergence of a new aggressive
competitive global economic order. This was possible mainly due to the integration of
the newly industrialized countries and much of the developing nations. Although
__________________________________
66
globalization and market liberalization have made some progress in terms of economic
growth in certain countries, it has also had many negative impacts in developing
societies.
6.Richard Barnet of the Institute of Policy Studies describes globalization in terms

of four increasing webs of global commercial activity: (i) global cultural bazaar; (ii) the
global shopping mall; (iii) the global financial network and (iv) the global
workplace. The global cultural bazaar promotes the notion of uniform cultural values and
products across the world.
This idea influenced billions of people, shaping their goals and

homogenizing their tastes and attitudes towards a desired fantasy lifestyle. The
unprecedented increase in global trade -- the buying and selling of goods and services
among countries - has created a planetary supermarket.
The cultural bazaar and shopping mall intersect through the vehicle of
advertising. Media has become a powerful player in the globalization process. In fact,
globalization of economies has also led to the globalization of media.
Media is used to impose the culture and power of the wealthy nations from the
global North. The global financial market has created a new atmosphere to search for
quick profits.
The foreign exchange market is mainly dealing with currency speculation, bet for
or against foreign currencies. The increasing mobility of jobs has created global
workplaces and this has boosted international labour migration. In other words, the
globalization and market-oriented economic reforms helped transnational companies
shift their manufacturing units to developing countries. Because of this more people are
crossing borders in search of jobs and in most conditions people are forced to work in
inhuman conditions for lower wages.
__________________________________
67
All these proved the fact that globalization is not a simple but a very
complex set of process that operates at multiple levels - political, economic and
cultural. In this era of globalization humanity is pursued as fundamentally one, with a
common destiny, that is the result of technology revolution in information and
communication and the awareness of the unsustainability of the current way of life.
7. According to Nikhil Aziz, an Asian scholar, globalization can be seen in two

different perspectives: Globalization from above, for short, (GA) and Globalization from
Below, for short, (GB). At the political level, GA manifests itself in its action of the
Western countries, particularly the United States ofAmerica, and global financial
institutions in pressuring countries of the South to democratize. This translates as the
adoption of a Western-style liberal democratic system of governance.
They closely tie economic Globalization from Above to the political aspect
in that (1) the source of pressure for change is the same, and (2) close links are alleged
between the ideologies of free markets and free societies. Economic Globalization from
Above entails countries of the South to accept - within the parameters of the dominant
World capitalist system -the imposition of structural
Adjustment programmes, neo-liberal economic policies, including the wholesale

liberalization of domestic economies, to allow unrestricted entry to transnational
capital. On a cultural level, GA arises from the control of the global information and
communication networks by Western media corporations; and the spread of modern
technologies of a consumerist culture, and Western cultural expressions as the global
culture.
8.The transnational companies are the spearheads of globalization and have become
the dominant economic and political force in the world economy. Increasing competition
and pressure on transnational companies to increase profits leads to a relentless search for
cheap labour markets. Many of the companies from the developed and the Newly

Industrialized Countries (NIC) have shifted their manufacturing and service industries to
developing countries.For example, several major airlines now have their global
accounting done in India. A large number of computer software companies from
the United Statesare developing software in Bangalore, at less than one-fifth of the price
in other countries.
The German car manufacturing company BMW and Lorean car manufacturers like
Daewoo and Hyundai have already established their manufacturing units in Vietnam. The
Export Processing Zones of many developing countries are catering to the needs of the
transnational companies by way of providing cheap labour. The International Labor
Resource and Information Group based at the University of Cape Town has described
these phenomena a race downhill in which countries underbid each other. Because they
cannot see an alternative, workers also end up underbidding one another.
The main arguments are competitiveness and the need to survive. But for workers it
is a race to the bottom, and the bottom means slave like conditions. When work moves to
less developed countries, the shift does not automatically bring Western levels of
employment and prosperity to the host countries.
What it does bring are very profitable high-tech islands and Export processing Zones
where they protect transnational capital, with the help of the state, from social
responsibility.
There may be short-term advances in the living standards of a small group of

workers. Nevertheless, when some workers elsewhere lead the race to the
bottom, those jobs may disappear. A report by UNCTAD notes that transnational
companies encroach on areas over which sovereign responsibilities have traditionally
been reserved for national governments. A situation has arisen where many governments
of developing countries no longer control the flow of financial capital; so they can no
longer control their own economies.

9. Globalization has substantially contributed to the intensification of debt, poverty
and economic crisis in the developing world. The Structural Adjustment
Programmes (SAP) designed and imposed by the global creditor institutions is a typical
instrument to create a favorable atmosphere for globalization, which ultimately affects
developing countries. In order to meet the mandates set by the SAP, a country spends
less by cutting back government expenditures, social services, and economic investments
so that resources can be placed elsewhere. More money is being spent on export
orientation, which results in local economies becoming dependent on the integration with
the world economy.
The international lenders demand poor economies to divert substantial resources

away from sectors serving domestic needs: withdraw all subsidies for poor people,
privatize the state sector, deregulate the market, and decrease wages. In effect, this
process opens up countries to globalization. Thus structural adjustment programs and
import-export-led strategies of industrialization were part of a political and economic
restructuring process, a prelude to globalization.
10. The relation between globalization, development and human rights raises policy
and legal questions. One such question is whether globalization of market-oriented
economic system is essential for development and protection of human rights? While
searching for an answer to this question we should analyze how we perceive the concept
of development and human rights, especially in the context of developing countries.
Human rights have become an integral part of the process of globalization in many
ways. The Western countries are increasingly using their view of human rights concept
as a yardstick to judge developing countries and to deal with economic and trade
relations to extend development assistance. At the same time globalization intensifies
__________________________________
70
impoverishment by increasing the poverty, insecurity, fragmentation of society and thus
violates human rights and human dignity of millions of people.
11. The preamble of the Declaration of the Right to Development, adopted by the
UN General Assembly in 1986, describes "development as a comprehensive economic,
social, cultural and political process that aims at the constant improvement of the well-
being of the entire population and of all individuals on the basis of their active, free and
meaningful participation in development and in the fair distribution of resulting
benefits".
The 1990 UN Global Consultation on the Right to Development as a Human Right,

stated that the right to development is an inalienable human right with the human being
as the central subject to the right and that all the aspects of the right to development set
forth in the Declaration of the Right to Development are indivisible and interdependent,
and these include civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.
It was further maintained that the right to development is the right of individuals, groups
and peoples to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy continuous economic, social,
cultural and political development, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms
can be fully realized.
A development strategy that disregards or interferes with human rights is the very
negation of development. The aims and objectives of the so-called development models
promoted by different governments or international development agencies are not
compatible with human rights standards. A new model of development ideology is being
promoted that is based on the market and its logic. Several decades of discussion on
alternative development model is withering away and a dominant model of market
oriented development taking roots in that place.

As a result of the globalization process, more negative effects are visible
now. Global integration of the structures, processes, and ideologies produce injustice,
oppression, exploitation and mal-development in society. The systematic integration of
the forces that are dominant in the globalization process intensifies human rights
violations.
12.Globalization has its winners and losers. With the expansion of trade, market,
foreign investment, developing countries have seen the gaps among themselves
widen. The imperative to liberalize has demanded a shrinking of state involvement in
national life, producing a wave of privatization, cutting jobs, slashing health, education
and food subsidies, etc. affecting the poor people in society. In many cases, liberalization
has been accompanied by greater inequality and people are left trapped in utter poverty.
Meanwhile, in many industrialized countries unemployment has soared to levels not

seen for many years and income disparity to levels not recorded since last century.
The collapse of the economies of the Asian Tigers are examples of this. The Human
development Report of 1997 revealed that poor countries and poor people too often find
their interests neglected as a result of globalization. Although globalization of the
economy has been characterized as a locomotive for productivity, opportunity,
technological progress, and uniting the world, it ultimately causes increased
impoverishment, social disparities and violations of human rights. That is what we see
today.
13. This takes me to Global Recession. A recession is a disease of an economy,

which grows over a period of time, tends to slow down the growth as a part of the normal
economic cycle. In other words, recession is a decline in a country's gross domestic
product (GDP) growth for two or more consecutive quarters of a year. A recession
normally takes place when consumers lose confidence in the growth of the economy and
spend less.
__________________________________
72
This leads to a decreased demand for goods and services, which in turn
leads to a decrease in production, lay-offs and a sharp rise in unemployment. Investors
spend less; as they fear stocks values will fall and thus stock markets fall on negative
sentiment. Risk aversion, deleveraging and frozen money markets and reduced investor
interest adversely affect capital and financial flows, import-export and overall GDP of an
economy. This is exactly what happened in US and as a result of contagion effect spread
all over the world due to high integration in the global economy.
14. While people in developed countries are feeling the impacts of the crisis, there is a
global consensus that those who are already living in poverty, particularly in developing
countries, are the most vulnerable to the harsh effects of the downturn. While the greatest
impacts may be difficult to quantify, as of today there is no doubt that the financial crisis
does not only have financial and monetary implications; the negative impact of the crisis
on the enjoyment and realization of human rights is both evident and alarming.
The financial crisis has exacerbated the difficult situation of the extreme poor, who
were already greatly affected by dramatic rise in food and energy prices and by the
challenges posed by the impact of climate change. Roughly 150 million people have
already been pushed into poverty as a result of the food price crisis, and estimates project
that the current crisis may push many more million into extreme poverty in coming
years. Number of people suffering from malnutrition, over a billion, is quite alarming.
In the world, more than fifty million new-born babies will not survive to
see their first birth day due to malnutrition. International Labor Organization has
predicted loss of million and millions of jobs due to recession. Not only will there be
more unemployment, but labour conditions are also likely to worsen due to the shortage
of opportunities. People have already lost the capacity to achieve an adequate standard of
living for themselves and their families and they are denied of social protection and
justice.

15. The world faces its worst recession since the 1930s. In India, the impact of the
crisis has been deeper than what was estimated by our policy makers although it is less
severe than in other emerging market economies. The extent of impact has been
restricted due to several reasons such as-
(I) Indian financial sector particularly our banks have no direct

exposure to tainted assets and its off-balance sheet activities have been limited. The
credit derivatives market is in an embryonic stage and there are restrictions on
investments by residents in such products issued abroad.
(II) India's growth process has been largely domestic demand driven
and its reliance on foreign savings has remained around 1.5 per cent in recent period.
(III) India's comfortable foreign exchange reserves provide confidence

in our ability to manage our balance of payments notwithstanding lower export demand
and dampened capital flows.
(IV) Headline inflation, as measured by the wholesale price index

(WPI), has declined sharply. Consumer price inflation too has begun to moderate.
(V) Rural demand continues to be robust due to mandated agricultural

lending and social safety-net program
(VI) India's merchandise exports are around 15 per cent of GDP, which
is relatively modest.
Despite these mitigating factors, India too has to weather the negative impact of the
crisis due to rising two-way trade in goods and services and financial integration with the
rest of the world.
16.As already said by me, the world's poor and disadvantaged are bearing the brunt
of the suffering resulting from the current global financial crisis and ensuing economic
__________________________________
74
turmoil. The downturn in economies around the world has already undermined access to
work, affordability of food and housing, as well as of water, basic health care and
education etc. Therefore, it is necessary that the State should ensure that domestic policy
adjustments, particularly those in fiscal spending, are not taken at the expense of the poor
through cutbacks in basic services and social protection mechanisms and programmes. A
human rights approach will contribute to making solutions more durable in the medium
and long run.
The State should also identify the specific needs and entitlements of
vulnerable groups and individuals, particularly women and children, migrants, refugees,
indigenous peoples , minorities and persons with disabilities, because, they stand at the
frontlines of hardship, and are most likely to lose their jobs and access to social safety
nets and services.
It is already seen that as an impact of recession migrant workers are

already being affected in many countries, and that there is a clear risk of increased
xenophobia as a result of the crisis. These workers are most likely to be the first in line to
losing their jobs not only because their status is called into question, but also because
they are employed in sectors that are particularly affected by the economic
crisis. Worse, we see, recession may give rise to xenophobic passions, discriminatory
practices and even attacks against migrants and their families.
Taking into account the scenario pictured above, Ms. Navi Pillay, UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, in her address to a Special Session of the Human
Rights Council on 20th February, 2009 called on the international community including
the World Bank and the International Monitory Fund to draw on the full range of their
policy advice and resources, as appropriate, to help developing countries and countries
with economies in transition to strengthen their economies, maintain growth and protect
the most vulnerable groups against the severe impacts of the current downturn. She also
__________________________________
75
appealed to the States and the corporate world to ensure that their policies and practices
do not jeopardize peoples human rights.
17.It is apt to notice what Amnesty International, which is an international non-

government human rights monitoring organization, in the 400 pages report published by
it, has opined. According to Amnesty International, security issues, the response to global
terror and the pursuit of economic recovery after the global economic meltdown has led
to severe Human Rights violations amongst 157 countries. It has warned that the rising
poverty in these countries could lead to instability and mass violence. According to it,
sustained economic recovery will not happen unless governments tackle human rights
and bring an end to armed conflicts. In view of these findings, Amnesty International has
launched a new campaign titled –
Demand Dignity: It has called on the world's strongest economic powers to set an
example and defuse what is described as a human rights time bomb. In the report of the
Amnesty International, many factors were credited for the increasing levels of hunger
and malnutrition, and too little, they claim, is being done to provide people with their
basic needs. It has opined that structural policies based on market economics have
widened the gap between the rich and the poor, and left hundreds of millions of people
vulnerable to poverty with no safety net to catch them. It has claimed that increasingly
authoritarian governments have ignored the problem at hand.
The opinion of the Amnesty International deserves to be viewed very

seriously by the States and it is their responsibility to take conducive and effective steps
and measures to fight the vicious impacts of Globalization and Global Recession so as to
ensure that the people of the world particularly marginalized segments of the people live
with human dignity and decent living conditions of life.

18. In this scenario, what is the role of banking industry? As we all know the
banking industry is a highly regulated industry with detailed and focused regulators. Each
regulatory agency has their own set of rules and regulations to which banks and thrifts
must adhere. The changing economic environment has a significant impact on banks and
thrifts as they struggle to effectively manage their interest rate spread in the face of low
rates on loans, rate competition for deposits and the general market changes, industry
trends and economic fluctuations.
It has been a challenge for banks to effectively set their growth strategies
with the recent economic market. So how can we manage our banks' challenges? The
banking industry is far one of the most difficult type of business to manage. It is simply
the business where stocks are hard to analyze, unstable and most of all, clients are
demanding.
We have to realize that in the current situation of recession, the banking

industry is being hit hard. This is mainly because money circles around banks. One of the
major problems of banks is money laundering. Money laundering is simply the practice
of engaging in financial transactions to conceal the identity, source, or destination of
illegally gained money. Money laundering happens in almost every country in the globe.
A single scheme typically involves transferring money through several

different countries so that the origin would not be tracked. In our current situation, it is
predicted that banks will fail due to recession. The banks that are smaller are the ones
that will most likely be hit by this recession since they can't cope up with the declination
of the economy.
19.Experts enlist banks challenges into major and minor issues. Major issues mainly
include the issues arising out of global recession. Global Banking plays a big role in our
economy. Today, banks are being used in different ways. Some store their money in the
banks and eventually it will increase because of the interest; others use banks for
business transactions or borrow money from the bank for emergency or business
__________________________________
77
purposes. Banks ought not to be parties for money laundering, because such acts on the
part of the banks undeniably are anti-national and anti-people.
The most common types of criminals who need to launder money are drug
traffickers, embezzlers, corrupt politicians and public officials, mobsters, terrorists and
con artists. Drug traffickers are in dire need of good laundering systems because they
deal almost exclusively in cash, which causes all sorts of logistic problems. The minor
issues are the problems with employees who fail to follow the prescribed rules,
regulations, norms and business standards. Earning trust from the people and quality of
service is a must for all banks. A single mistake may reduce number of people who
transact with the bank. Further, interests of the investors will be in jeopardy.
For small banks, building a good-will from the public is the most difficult
thing to do, and we cannot deny that this is one of the necessary factors in order to
succeed in this competitive world.
20.In the past, banks were seen as individuals and solo branches with no integration
in them. The scenario is altogether different today. We are in the new age and as we all
know, technology plays a big part in every aspect of businesses around the
world. Especially in this recession, banking should really be involved on how to respond
to it. New technologies are always being introduced that is why banks should also focus
on finding these technologies to help them cope up.
__________________________________
78
It is stated that there are three concerns that affect the banks' performance critically
and sometimes dramatically. These are customer retention, cost pressure and increased
competition. Banking industry, as a whole, has a critical and dynamic role to play in
containing and overcoming the impacts of globalization and global recession as well as in
nurturing and protecting human rights of the people by adopting customer-centric
services, cost reduction and product differentiation. I have no doubt that under the
able and pragmatic stewardship of Sri Ananthkrishna, Chairman and Sri P. JayaramBhat,
Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, who are well-known economists and
bankers at the national level, and host of other distinguished personalities who constitute
the Board of Directors of Karnataka Bank Ltd. with the kind of concern, commitment
and devotion possessed by the managerial and ministerial staff of the bank, Karnataka
Bank would rise to the occasion and serve the interest of banking industry as well as
humanitarian interests of the large populace of this country, particularly, the interests of
marginalized segments of the society like Dalits, tribals, women, children and other
backward classes in the expected measure in the critical years ahead. I wish them all the
best in their pursuits.

Methodology:
Sources of data collection:

The data is most vital and the integral aspect, which is responsible for the completion of
any project. The data can be gained and derived from two methods, that is:
o Primary data collection

o Secondary data collection
Primary data collection:

Personal observation in to the banking system
Discussion and clarification with the guide and other managers
• Taking personal guidance from the employees working in that organization.
Secondary data collection:

Through internet, magazines, journals, annual reports, income and expenditure statement.
Limitations:
• The time is the main constraint of this project. The project report would be more
specific and more informative if more time would be allotted.
• The data derived may not be accurate up to mark. Lot of errors may prevail in the
data collection process. Especially the data collected by the primary sources may
contain errors.
• Detailed analysis was not possible because of non availability of the sufficient
data.
• The study is confined to the extent of information provided by the banker and it is
assumed to be factual and validity is not questioned.

ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION:

In the year 2008 balance outstanding and NPA were Rs. 65,380.87 Lakhs and
2540.29 lakhs respectively. But in the year 2009 there was a slight increase in both
balance outstanding and NPA which was 72675.82 and 3206.81 respectively. But in the
year 2009 again balance outstanding and NPA increased to Rs 83600.25 lakhs and Rs
2724.05 lakhs.

FINDINGS AND
SUGGESTIONS
FINDINGS:
The bank has been focusing on containing the non performing assets through better credit
monitoring as well as intensified drive for the recovery of the impaired assets, asset
recovery branches and steps under SARFAESI Act 2002 for the speedy takeover and
disposal of the assets of defaulting borrowers resulted in reduction of gross NPA Rs. 284
crores as on 31.03.2009 to Rs. 171 crores as on 31.03.2010.
From Lender’s point of view:
1. The bank has a good lot of finance and well written procedure for the purpose of
lending of advances to the borrowers.
__________________________________
111
2. They have the right to take appreciable collateral security against advances, to
demand any type of document related with them, to file a suit against borrower if
needs and also can seek the help from the consulting firms for their own purpose,
mainly for the feasibility study of the project.
3. They have the power of rejecting the proposal as per the appraisal of the projects
and also have power to monitor, inspect and visit the industry.
4. Advances of bank are not safe after lending the amount due to uncertainty; also
the uncertainty affects the viability of the projects.
5. Proper monitoring and follow up the project is lagging. Also the procedure of
lending is detail but due to some flaws, accounts are converting into NPA.
6. In some cases banks are providing advances without proper security and also due
to the influence of certain person, thus the risk is very high.
7. In the sense of legal proceedings, it is very slow in India.
8. Some security may be overvalued by the borrower which may have deposited
against the advances.

112
12. It has a high opportunity to play a key role in development of economy of the
nation and also to help different sick units for their revival, diversification and
expansions.
13. The main problem of the banks is survival problems due to huge chunk of NPA
and influential advances to the borrower. Due to influence some cases banks are
not able to recollect the advances with its invest.
From borrower’s point of view:

1. Most of the borrowers are willful defaulter. That means they are showing attitude
towards the repayment of advances and interest due to some flaws from the
bank’s side.
2. Borrowers are lacking of competing the market domestically and globally.
3. They are not able to commerce the business at perfect time due to which they are
lagging in export.

expansion area.

borrower to delay the payment.

have to inform bank.
15. The main opportunity for the borrower is utilized their profit in the expansions
and diversification. In this case, company will be appraised and encouraged.
16. Once the company is in the profitable stage, banks will end extra without any
hesitation.
17. If the company shows sickness, borrower will be in deep analysis in the list of
lender.
18. Production of quality goods and services are another problem for the company to
compete their product against globally and domestically too.
19. Some borrowers are getting loans and advances without proper security, those
loans and advances are difficult to recollect.
20. The borrowers mention the reasons for NPA are very simple but it adversely
affects the viability of the bank or financial institution.
Suggestions from the study:
__________________________________
114
The following suggestions have been made for the purpose of reducing NPA in Banking
Sectors:
• To reduce the risk of lending, the bank should never lend their loans and advances
without adequate collateral securities. This will reduce the major risk of the
banks.
• The bank should monitor and follow up the project in which they have lended
their resources.
• The project appraisal must be perfectly made before sanctioning the loan. This
will help in reinforcing the project oneself to commit a wrong decision.
• There should not be any type of pressure and influence from any top and emir
persons for the sanction of loan and advances. This will enhance the efficiency of
the offers and create clear and fair environment to work in the organization.
• There should not be ny unethical practices by any of the officers of the banks.
They should perform their duty and responsibility very well. Ultimately it will
increase the performance of the bank.
• Bankers should be given the power to enforce the security without approaching
the judiciary which would take a long time for settlement. This will save the time
of settlement of cases.
• The bankers should have to in continuous touch with the borrowers so that their
attitude should not change towards the bank. This will motivate the borrower that
bankers are taking care of them.
• The communication between the bankers and the borrowers of all activities like
transaction of business and other financial activities should always be well
known. This will help the bankers to find the present financial conditions of the
__________________________________

• Borrowers will ultimately helps the banker to take required decision about the
project, if needed it can solved by the utilization of the internet.
• Recapitalization of banks with Government aid.
Conclusion:
As analyzed in the analysis and interpretation part the following conclusions have been
drawn.
1. In the majority of the cases both the banker and borrower are responsible to
become an account NPA. The reasons may be different in their own sides.
2. The problem of NPA is behavioral as well as economic in nature.
3. Due to lagging in proper realizable security from the borrowers, banks are facing
difficulty to recover its loans and advances.
4. The monitoring mechanism of the bank is one of the reasons to become an

account NPA.
5. After lending the amount, the attitude of the lender and borrower are changing
due to some circumstances.
6. The borrowers are turning towards willful defaulters due to some problem in
procedure of debt realization.
7. They have continuous monitoring and follow up deficiency.
8. Bankers are lagging in continuous check, inspections, guiding to borrowers as

there are the right of the banks.
